Dream entered another round of isolated research. As far as he was concerned, nothing at this point was more important than his own advancement, so he wouldn't emerge until it was finished.The first thing he did was study a soul. He wanted to try and understand how a class 6 soul worked. According to the things he's read, only a class 6 soul could make contact with and draw power from concepts. Thus, becoming a class 6 was like having the gates of the universe open to you. Nobody with any lesser a soul was capable of making contact with concepts, and they certainly weren't aware of their existence.However, many months ago, Dream had disproven this fact. A little, at least. He had successfully made contact with a concept after earning its acknowledgment, but he couldn't do much with it. He couldn't draw power from it and he wasn't able to comprehend any more of it. All he had were those two marks he left on them, like little trophies that were good for nothing more than being eye can
*Crack!*As Dream read one of the monoliths, his mind space suddenly cracked again. He was still on a clock, and if he took too long, his mind space would shatter.Yet, the Keeper was baffled as he saw Dream casually read the monoliths, completely disregarding his very psyche that was breaking down every moment. It was like it had nothing to do with him.Across the span of a few minutes, Dream bounced between each of the 14 monoliths, merely reading their introductions. When he was done, he took a step back."So, correct me if I'm wrong because my mental faculties are not at their peak. Or maybe too far beyond their peak?"Dream turned to the Keeper."From each of these 14 monoliths come the greatest formations for Divine Seas, and each of these Seas have a certain domain."{Correct.}The Keeper nodded.{Like the prophets whose monoliths you comprehended prior, these 14 silver monoliths carry the inheritances of the greatest 14 Emperors under the Archons. Each monolith details the for
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
