2 and a half years.Dream was surprised at how long he had spent in the legacy space. He had thought that he had a pretty good grasp on everything he was faced with. Sure he took a while studying the script behind Dust, Ash, skills, and Gray Mist, but he didn't think it was that long. Time really flew by.The Keeper smirked at Dream's surprise.{The knowledge and inheritances of the Emperors are not so simple as to be completely grasped in a short amount of time. What do you take their knowledge for? They were forces far beyond your understanding!}"I'm sure they were. Then again, they were obviously told to dial themselves down when writing this script, otherwise I doubt I would be able to understand any of it."Dream sighed as he looked at the faded silver script of the 14 monoliths. If the Emperors were placed in today's universe, they would be demigods at the minimum, likely far above that. Plus, these were the greatest 14 Emperors under the Archons, so they could very well be god
Dream pondered the issue that plagued Luna and Iris, their conflict of opposite energies.There was only one possibility, and that was that the two girls occupied a single soul while maintaining two independent egos. Only, Dream was curious about how they could also attain two different sets of skills. They also had their own profiles. Everything pointed to them having two separate souls, but their collision of Dust and Ash refuted this theory.So what was their deal? Eventually, Dream came to the conclusion that it wasn't their soul that was singular, but their higher being even beyond the soul. There was something on the level of Dust and Ash that bound them together while also allowing them to form two different souls. This was the only thing Dream could think of, because if they truly did only have one soul, then they couldn't have two different skill sets and profiles. Dream had even observed their souls, so he knew there were two of them.Yet, this conclusion wasn't most comfort
Six people stood around Dream. Winds blew around this group, the grass underneath their feet swaying with it. Dream still stood atop the large boulder, and he gazed between each person.There was the woman and little boy, plus Asmodeus. The fourth was a man who carried a large axe, muscles bulging without any shirt to cover. The fifth was a woman with various gadgets strewn across her brown leather trench coat, an aesthetic of steampunk infused into each little gizmo. The sixth was a man who was covered in dust and dirt while carrying a pickaxe, looking like he just came out of a mineshaft.Finally, there was that giant in the center of the world, still sitting there and watching.These were all the people who were currently blessed by this concept of Physical Reality. Only 7 people in the entire universe were able to stand within this concept.And now, Dream was the 8th."Let me introduce you! First, my name is Ziji, and I hail from Heaven."The little boy spoke, surprising Dream. It
After forming his body, Dream dove into a frenzy of work.First of all, even though he had just dove into his concepts, he was able to immediately begin comprehending them. Thus, he gained knowledge that essentially solidified all theories about physics and magic. Especially for physics where he had effectively formed a theory of everything.As for Ethereal Force, he was able to glimpse deeper into the nature of every energy, and knowledge on Arcane Transmutation grew by the moment. Thinking, Dream dumped a bit of extra Divine Light into the Divine Sea of Magic. Along with his deepening comprehensions, Dream felt the skill behind Arcane Transmutation become perfect.He was able to see even information behind the dots that comprised all material. Thus, taking control over every process behind transmutation was no longer difficult. Dream seamlessly converted mana into iron, then back again without any loss. It only took a bit of energy to perform.After that though, Dream took a glance
After Dream made the deal with Cavra, he decided that there wasn't much of a reason to stick around and waste time. He had the word of the most powerful man on this planet. That was enough.So he needed to make preparations. Dream reappeared in the flagship while Cavra disappeared.Melody looked at Dream weirdly."What was that?""I made a deal with Cavra.""That old man?""Yea. Once I show him some soldiers, he'll bring us to the primary world. Then I'll become the Blood Drop Clan's defense contractor.""...I'm starting to think you're just an arms dealer now.""It's a great way to get and do what I want. Anyway, because I have all I need from that city, there's no reason for us to stay. How about we go and visit Earth?"Dream spoke as he waved his hand, a portal appearing next to him. Melody's eyes went wide."Earth? Really?! Can we actually go back?""Sure. The portal is still there, and I made sure it would act as an anchor that I could return to. It'll be no problem.""Then let's
Dream's focus returned from his concepts. In front of him was the portal. The sudden changes from his enlightenment and the subsequent conversations only lasted a few minutes.[Universal War huh...]Sophia was a bit fearful of the information she got from Dream. His tiny action of taking control of a concept had actually set off such huge waves. It seemed unreasonable. Couldn't they just glance over it and leave it as an anomaly?But instead, they immediately laid out the colossal ramifications for doing what Dream did. There was no escaping what just happened, no hiding it from their eyes.Now, Dream was going to be attacked by a faction that spanned the entire universe. There were literal gods that would be hunting him. How was he supposed to escape this?Luckily, his identity was still hidden. Nobody knew who he was.When Dream grabbed the spear of Vursoid, he had been given a ton of information. First was the true identity of Vursoid. He was the leader of one of the 7 highest Asur
"What the hell just happened?!"As Dream and Tersa hung around outside the planet, there was a ship that suddenly sped toward them. Out came a panicking Melody. Behind her in the ship was their mother."Hi mom!"Dream waved like a child when he saw his mother, ignoring Melody's shock. She waved back, although a bit absentmindedly.Seeing Dream's mother, Tersa became a bit curious, looking at Shannon with wide eyes. At the same time, Melody poked at Dream."What did you do?! Since when do you merge planets just because?!""I didn't do it just because. I did it because I want to take Earth along with me. Now you can see mom and dad whenever you want.""That's true, but at least make some preparations first! You literally just tore the planet apart! People are going crazy! Besides, you left some people behind.""Left people? Oh!"Suddenly, Dream remembered something.Earth had advanced to create megastructures and navigate space. How could they have not colonized other planets like Mars?
After a few hours, Dream was able to get a hold of the situation.Everyone in Dream's immediate family was marked, their souls taking on this symbol of the ascendency. They also gained titles, but since they weren't Dream's children, their titles were special. His parents had a title displaying their position above Dream and his siblings received a title reflecting their position beside him. Of course, they didn't suddenly gain power equal or above his, or any authority.But surprisingly, they did still gain power. Dream's parents had risen to the class 3 realm, while only one of Dream's brothers became a class 4. While they couldn't compare to Melody's power when she was at the same level, compared to the general populace, they were actually normal.But now, both of Dream's parents spontaneously broke through to have class 4 power. Even Dream's brothers had a burst in power. Not even Melody was spared, gaining more power than all of them.And Dream could feel his effects on them. The
