After everyone got up from their seats, the President led them down to the lower floors.After stopping on one of the floors, everyone piled into an arena room. This room was like a stadium and it had a big stone platform in the center. It really was simply just an arena room."Dream, Eritai, step up to the platform."Both people nodded, and the 32 year old disciple, Eritai, quickly jumped over to the platform in one bound. Dream just took his time as he cuddled Iris' tails one last time."Just don't kill the guy."Luna spoke to him, smiling."I won't try.""If you do, save his body for me." (Iris)"I don't think his master would like that, but okay."After Iris hopped off his shoulders, only then did Dream make his way over to the platform. As he did, Eritai changed his clothes into a type of karate gi, except his shirt was off, and his rippling muscles were bare for all to see.Dream changed into some athletic shorts, getting rid of his pants, shoes, and shirt. As he did some unnece
Over the next few days, Dream had begun rolling out huge batches of communication bracelets to the Empires and Church. And having been prepared for this, they were quickly distributed.In the Mercenary Empire, the Emperor had given bracelets to everyone from the top of the hierarchy down. This meant generals, admirals, politicians, government administrators, class 3 combatants, and more. Everyone was quickly given a bracelet, and they didn't have to worry about somebody important not getting one since there were a few hundred thousand that came in.This was what happened for the other Empires and Church as well. They gathered everyone and handed out this technology, which upon being equipped, would carry each person through a profile setup.This profile setup took everyone's name and assigned them a number. It was similar to a phone, and once they had given the bracelet all their details, they were allowed to attain contacts from others who had this bracelet as well.Not even an hour
At the same time that Dream had arrived above the kingdom, his cargo ships also flew down and met him in the air.There were over 10 of these cargo ships, and all of them were packed to the brim with bracelets and the robots who would manage their distribution.These 10 ships hovered next to Dream's ship, making his appearance look like an armada had arrived. This obviously alerted the hundreds of thousands below him, and everyone looked to the sky at these large gray planes."Now that I think about it, nobody was told that we would be arriving. Are we even sure this is the right kingdom?"Dream looked at the Cardinals as he asked. He had been given a rough location of the kingdom by the Pope, but that was it. They weren't the ones who had GPS satellites."This should be it. Allow me to go and ask."Saying so, one of the Cardinals got up. Dream opened up the hatch and let him fly down to the kingdom.20 minutes later..."This is not the right kingdom. The king here said that the one e
Dream and Idona didn't need to walk through the forest for long before they began encountering life.In fact, it was only a couple of minutes before they had walked up to the 'gates' of their city."Halt!"Dream and Idona were yelled at as they walked up to a huge natural barrier. This barrier was a 50 meter high wall, and it was made entirely from living wood. The trees seemed to reach out between each other and connect, forming this wall of wood."This cannot possibly be natural."Dream came to this conclusion as he scanned the wall. It spanned for miles into the forest, and he was pretty sure it surrounded the city around the Tree. There was no way he would believe that this just happened to grow like it did."Elves have some powers that can control nature, almost manipulating it. These walls were built after the elves came and modified the trees for this very purpose. You will see lots of these kinds of constructions instead of the normal dead wood housing as in the human Empires.
After following Idona up the Tree for nearly 1000 meters, they finally came to a massive branch extending off the side.This branch was partially modified so as to accommodate many buildings, and inside these buildings, Dream could sense many people with class 3 auras."So this is where all the powerful people live. I was wondering where they were.""The majority of the elven elites live in the Tree. There are countless branches, many of which are simply massive. They can allow for entire communities to be built on top of them. But of course, they still need the resources of below to operate. Food and materials can't be harvested on a wood branch." (Idona)"Sure.""Though there are many class 3's who live on the ground too. They're the ones who take the taller trees near the home Tree. Sometimes flying up and down the tree can be time consuming, so they stay down there. Or they have families that can't fly up the tree.""Right. So these Ljosfar. They're meeting us? How many are there?
Dream and the elf stood across the table from each other.Having come to this point, none of the other elves chose to stop the conflict. The male and two female elves didn't believe Dream could put up a fight. And they didn't know why, but Idona didn't stop Dream either. Either way, none of them had any thoughts of interfering.With nobody getting in their way, the two quickly floated in the air over the table.Dream had a smile that irked the already angry elf even more. Despite his confidence though, he understood that he would need to put in some effort.'Aegis.''Understood.'Aegis responded to Dream's mental command and quickly formed into a 'solid' liquid over his skin. His body soon had an opaque gray color drape over it like a fog. He looked like a ghost."So, elf, how strong are those skinny muscles of yours?"Dream spoke derisively at the elf, who snorted."Stronger than yours. And faster."When he said that, the elf suddenly zipped over to Dream's side, throwing a fist towa
"Your parents live in a castle?"Dream was surprised as they walked up to a huge wooden structure. Idona smiled and responded."My dad is a class 3, and a rather powerful one at that. Plus he's an important military advisor, earning him a high position.""If he has such a high status, why doesn't he live up in the Tree?""Because the rest of his family is down here. He settled for this place instead.""Cause this is 'settling'.""Come on, they should be inside."Smiling and pushing open the gates, Idona happily walked into the property. Dream just followed behind while observing the place.[Well wouldn't you know. She's taking you to meet her parents.]'Hmm, maybe I should head to the factory...'[No! Escort her, you fool! Time to snare yourself another woman!]'You and the two girls are enough for me, thank you very much. Besides, Iris would probably kill us both if I brought Idona back home.'[Hm, yea, she probably would.]'Let's just find a time to head out. I really do want to res
Barely half an hour after Dream called, the girls were boarding the factory."I still can't believe how huge this place is."Iris spoke as they walked past the massive processing machines and cauldrons of molten metal. The amount of energy flowing through the place was far higher than they could imagine, and if it weren't for the reactor technology Dream recently developed, he wouldn't be able to expand his processing facilities so much.After admiring the sight of huge machines and metal processing, they arrived at the storage room. Both of them sighed as they saw the heaping piles of ingots that were being constantly stacked and taken from.And off to the side of these piles, Dream was sitting in a chair, fiddling with some crystals in his hand."So Dream, done with your negotiations yet?"Luna smiled as they walked over to him. Hearing her, Dream sighed."I wish. I just happened to have some free time.""So you decided to play with some crystals?""These crystals are very special."
