After the battle at the stronghold, the Human Empires made a full retreat. They hunkered down in the cities and didn't come out. However, they were still able to find out about the nukes. It was difficult to hide such destructive weapons anyway.Dream made sure to do exactly as he said. No demon settlement was spared except for the ones with less than a few million. Those would be either taken out by his soldiers or the girls. All in all, none were spared, and within a week, most of the demons on the demon continent had been wiped out of existence.The whole thing caused Dream to sigh. He hadn't kept the war going out of personal gain. He wanted to let the Empires strengthen. That's what was so different about this world. Unlike how it used to be on Earth, conflict didn't only or mostly result in negatives. Here, whoever won the conflict would come out with many gains in the form of strength. In fact, during the war there had been 3 humans from the Empires who became class 4's. It was
After the demons were wiped out, the state of the world greatly calmed, and people started to reboot their original lifestyles.Businesses reopened, soldiers returned home, many went back to schools, academies, and the like. Projects were also being carried out in an attempt to rebuild the many kingdoms that were partially destroyed. However, despite the reduced tension, everybody was still a little on edge. They didn't know if the news about the demons being totally wiped out was true. After all, there were hundreds of millions, and for that many of any species to be destroyed in only a few days was unreal.But sure enough, after several expeditionary teams were sent over to the demon continent, the news was verified. No matter where they looked, the only things the teams and scouts found were massive craters, leveled mountains, valleys of ashes, and even a new volcano. In fact, both the landbridges had been so obliterated that they were now under the ocean, making it difficult for t
"Demons..."This was the first conclusion Dream came to as he saw the advancing hordes. After all, there was only one race that had an invasive nature like this. There could be nothing else in his mind that would act as they do.However, the sheer scale of this movement had him baffled. Just from what they were seeing now, on each continent, there were already 500 million, and they weren't even done pouring out. This meant there were easily a billion, and they were launching their attacks on two fronts at the same time.The destination of the waves of demons were clear too. From both sides of the human continent, demons poured from the ocean and immediately advanced towards the Sword School and Spire who were nearest to the coasts. As of now, there were 200 million going toward each Empire. As for the Animal continent, the demons were heading straight for the United Empire and Elven Tree that occupied the center of the continent.In only 20 minutes, the day had gone from a relaxed Sun
After they disappeared from the factory, the girls soon reappeared next to Dream who was making his way to the human continent."...Dream?""We'll go down and sweep some of the areas with the soldiers. After getting a good estimate of how dense the class 4's are, we can gauge their overall strength and determine if we can safely fight them like this. If things are within the realm of acceptability, then you two can go around all you like and fight them.""...Alright.""Things should be good though. Although I'm already getting batches of my soldiers destroyed, it's showing that the class 4's aren't that dense. Dense enough to wipe out my soldiers on a wide scale, but not enough to worry about gangs of 100 coming after you. So let's check out some land and see if that's right."Saying that, Dream flew them to the outer lands of the continent where the demons were advancing. After arriving above the armies that spanned as far as the eye could see, he dropped down and released his mana a
After Dream left, the chieftain and his fellow class 4's went on to announce the situation to their citizens.When they did, it was met with shock and confusion. After all, things had been peaceful for a year, and all of a sudden their leaders come out and say that the world is going to end. Any normal person would be thrown off. But, since it was coming from the highest authority, they had no choice but to believe it to some extent. They also had to obey the orders that were handed down and make the stipulated preparations, of which included food rationnig and entering a wartime state.The entire Empire was quickly thrown into a small bout of chaos. But despite the sudden change, it never got too bad. That was until certain people started encroaching onto the city in droves. Well, they weren't exactly people. They were metallic humanoids, and there were tens of thousands of them.All these humanoids suddenly barged through the city entrance and piled in like a horde. And without expl
With all the construction moving forward at an unbelievable pace and kingdoms around the world being evacuated, two weeks pass.In this time, Dream had revamped most of the dwarven city and dug out the entire underground haven as well. The haven was a circle 150 miles in diameter. It was also about 800 meters tall.Within this space, countless buildings and hundreds of facilities were built from bottom to top, filling up all the space. Everything was organized in a very specific way, and everything that was needed to accommodate an entire population was present. Even if there was something that wasn't present, the space and materials were set aside so that it could be built.Not only that, but the haven was modeled with expansion and upgrades in mind. Dream knew that the haven had to be able to adapt to unexpected situations, whether it was supplies running out or demons somehow gaining access to the haven. And so, he had the place be set up like a boat. It would be able to close off
[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
