[The Tree will entirely encompass the Haven in 8 days. The demons will reach this place in two. That means we need to defend the Haven for 6 days until it's finished.]Sophia spoke to Dream after calculating the expansion of the Tree's roots and branches. And while it seemed like a short period of time, defending against all the demons for that long would be extremely difficult and could result in even more deaths."That won't do. We need it to move faster. Luckily we have something that'll help, although I didn't think we'd have to use it. Aegis.""My lord.""I'm gonna need your help for a bit.""As you wish.""Thanks. Now, let's set ourselves up."Saying that, Dream flew over to the Tree in the middle of the city. The entire thing glowed with thousands of blue lines, as did the entire city around it. It really brightened up the place.After flying up next to it, Dream placed his hand on the trunk. When he did, the trunk split and opened up, creating a human size hole that led all th
The battle between the girls and the old monsters didn't last for very long. They eventually called a draw, the reason being that Dream stepped in. Verbally.Time was of the essence, and while he appreciated the girls' lust for battle, they needed to direct it elsewhere. So after he talked to them and the old monsters, they decided to hold off for now and head out.The place they headed to was the vanguard troop of the demons that were heading toward the Haven. There they wrangled over nearly 80 class 4's and battled them all, killing them off one by one. This was to decrease the demon threat as much as possible before they reached the Haven.In fact, over time, this actually led to them delaying the arrival. Turns out, the old monsters really were as powerful as the legends made them out to be. They could handle all the class 4 demons with ease, and it accelerated the girls' killing speed by leaps and bounds. After only a day of fighting, they had killed nearly 400. This made it so t
As Dream was preparing to head up, the class 4's in the sky were continuing their battle.They had been steadily losing their advantage and building up fatigue, something that would be their demise if the situation didn't change. However, as Luna was about to talk to Dream about this, some information was sent to her mind from Sophia."Railguns..."*Zip!*Right as she spoke in surprise, Luna heard a projectile sail past her. The next moment, she could see a demon be blown to bits.That was only the first one though. After a few seconds, 14 more projectiles were launched seemingly from out of nowhere. All of them had a target, and all of them obliterated a demon.The other class 4's were baffled by this new development, but had no trouble going with it. Their load was already eased greatly with several demons being killed.For the next several minutes, the projectiles kept coming and demons kept dying. They took care of the excess demons, allowing people to safely focus on their own fe
As he fought to keep himself awake, Dream suddenly heard a voice. It was Luna, and both she and Iris teleported to his soul."I already knew you would stay. Besides, I need your help.""Hell yeah you do. Look at you. Your soul is so weak!"Iris snickered as she felt his soul's aura. It was barely there, a testament to how much power it took to clear out the demons like he did.Dream just shook his head at her. Currently he was on his hands and knees on the ground, breathing heavily out of instinct. Hundreds of demons surrounded them, and they didn't look happy. However, they weren't attacking. Dream knew why."Look at this human! You're definitely one of the strongest. Looks like we're coming out of this with a harvest!""Quickly set up the ritual! Don't let him kill himself, otherwise we won't get anything!"The class 4 demons all shouted at each other as they surrounded Dream. Soon, he could sense a certain power activating in their bodies. They were going to convert them."Oh no yo
2 weeks passed since the final battle...During this time, the Haven gradually settled down and the remaining 40 class 4's took full control over their districts. Everyone started getting used to the systems around the place and disputes drastically decreased with the help of the guards and the AI on everyone's bracelets.The demons also settled their activities on the surface. Since they had wiped out all life on the planet, there was nowhere else to invade. Nothing came to kill them, and they could go on with whatever they wanted. Curiously, this led to them conglomerating.A majority of the demons moved down to the third continent, otherwise known as the demon continent. There they set up massive communities and kingdoms of demons that spanned half the continent. The same thing occurred in the center of the human and animal continents, albeit those establishments were smaller.With that, the demons were no longer scattered across the lands, and Dream was able to relax his guard. If
"The Ancient Era took place several thousand years ago. Back then, the world was much less developed than it is now. Up until then, the concept of a class 4 was foreign to people, and at most, class 3's roamed around. But that all changed one day when the angels descended on this world.The angels are beings of incomprehensible power, and when they came, they brought with them the teachings of the Church. They established an entire kingdom that we once knew as the Holy See and gave us our Bible. After that, they left. Nothing much was originally planned to come of their arrival. However, they left behind them an unexpected benefit. Since they were supremely powerful beings, they unintentionally raised the mana density of our world.From then on, the entire world skyrocketed in power. Class 4's came into existence for the first time, and with their appearance came the establishment of the world's greatest Empires. The Spire, the Sword School, the Enchanted Mountain, the United Empire,
Over the next day, Dream and Sophia continually made progress, trying out many different frameworks, scripting out various enchantments, and creating some possible containment techniques. And things went well. They soon had an overall image and a way to implement it.There were two ways Dream could do this. He could either create a solid vessel that would contain the energies, or create a magic vessel. The solid vessel would be tangible, something similar to Aegis's heart. It would have to be a material that could exist on the same dimension as his soul. As for the magic vessel, it would be created purely from mana.After they made the vessel out of either of these, they could input the energies and guide them with powerful enchantments and influence. The energies would combine in a vortex and annihilate each other, spitting out gray mist.It seemed very simple, and after they planned everything out, Dream went on to try and implement the system. However, this was when he ran into som
After that entire month of working nonstop in the factory, Dream took a day to rest. The number of enchantments he had done could only be counted by Sophia, and he had expended all his energy on more than one occasion.It was a great workout though. So after Dream completed everything, he decided to allow his soul to totally recover. The purpose wasn't actually just for rest, but so he could get a look at his current power that had gone up once more.Before he had completed the vessels, Dream estimated that it would be at least two months before the gray mist spread through the rest of his soul. Now that the mist production was tripled, that time was cut down. And so, a month passed, and the mist was almost totally done spreading!It had taken more mist than they thought, but Dream assumed that it was just because it was trying to fill the nucleus. The nucleus was the core of a person, so it would take more energy to fill. It wasn't anything to worry about. So on the day that he knew
