A few weeks after the big battle at the colosseum, Dream was observing the portal that was being built within the demon's empire.He always had Sophia monitoring it, and as of now, it was about 90% complete. There was still one section that wasn't yet built, but it wasn't much, and Dream was planning on enacting his plan within a week or so. Until then though, he was just locked away in his factory, as he had been for most of his days.As Dream floated in the air within a big room within the factory, his cosmic form manipulated strands of mana and gray mist, forming a complex magical network. In the center of this network was Aegis's armor body made of platinum.Dream hadn't used the armor much at all lately, and he had been mainly focused on optimizing it and testing its limits. As they had expected when they first made it, the platinum was indeed more conductive to mana and could store much more. In fact, after messing around with flux ratios to find the highest stable grade, Dream
*Boom!**Thud!*"I cannot be defeated!"When two figures clashed in the air, one was sent several meters down into the earth. It was the devil, and he shouted in annoyance as he flew back out of the trench he created."You measly class 4 dare to reduce me to such a state?!""Are you admitting I'm superior?""Shut up! You cannot possibly fathom the true power of the demons! You're nothing more than a worm in the outer cosmos!"The devil continuously retaliated against Dream's attacks. Unlike the cool and apathetic demeanor he had several hours before though, he was now a raging and impulsive mess. Obviously, he hadn't took too kindly to fighting a battle with an equal and being severely injured.Dream wasn't exactly in the best state either though. The devil truly was equal with Dream. His suit was weakened with its enchantments having been debilitated, and his body was destabilized. Whenever the devil came back with a punch, it would blow a hole in Dream's suit and body which would ta
When Dream walked outside the cabin, the first thing he saw was a large patch of scorched ground and a deep pit. The walls of the pit were lined with corrosive black goo, and the smell it gave off was horrible."Sheesh. What the hell is she doing, trying to turn this paradise into a barren cesspit?"Blocking the smell from entering his nose, Dream floated over to the edge of the pit. Inside he saw Luna and Iris as well as the small pool of a bubbling tar-like substance."Oh, you're up."Luna smiled when she saw him. She was sitting on an ice chair that floated over the pool of tar. Then there was Iris, who was laying inside the tar in her fox form."Yea. So... mind telling me what's going on?""Iris had a hard time controlling her powers for a bit and ended up dissolving a hole in the ground. It's mostly calmed down though. Her soul is starting to stabilize.""Interesting. How long until she wakes up?""Whenever I decide to send in some healing power. I was waiting for you to wake up
"~I don't want to set the world on fire~"Within the factory, Dream hummed himself a tune while sending mana through a section of the portal. He was in his cosmic form, and the mana around him was following his every command as if he were a king."~I just want to start, a flame in your heart~"*Clank!*On the portal, a plate hiding some enchanted panels underneath was popped off. Dream proceeded to dig further into the structure of the portal."~In my heart, I have but one desire~"[~And that one is you, no other will do~]"I've lost all ambition, for worldly acclaim~"[~I just want to be the one you love~]*Woosh!*Raising his hand, Dream called over a piece of metal which he formed into a small thin bar. Sophia then enchanted it, and he placed it on top of the other enchanted panels of the portal."~And with your admission, that you feel the same~"[~I'll have reached the goal I'm dreaming of~]"~Believe me...~"[...]Suddenly going quiet, Dream's hands froze in place. The mana in t
*Beep!* *Beep!* *Beep!* *Beep!* *Beep!*"Huh?"Inside an office skyscraper on the 47th floor, a man inside an office was alerted when his desk phone received a call. Still half asleep from a small power nap, he quickly picked it up."Ahem! This is-""David, sir! We have a situation!""...What is it?"Surprised by the urgency of the caller, David's attention sharpened. He recognized the voice as one of his employees, someone who works in the space agency sector monitoring various satellites."We've picked up on an unidentified vessel in space! An actual vessel! Its origins are unknown, and it appeared out of nowhere!""Wait, what? What are you talking about?""Sir, it's... Here! I'm sending you a direct feed!"Suddenly, David's computer lit up and he received a pending transmission. Accepting it, he quickly saw a visual feed from one of the satellites in space.Within the feed, there was a giant metal cube. All around the cube were boosters that pushed it along with bright purple strea
With the show of an absurd level of strength, everyone present realized that there was nothing they could do stop these robots. Just by looking, they could sense the powerful mana that flowed through them all. However, there was one detail that they picked up as well.'These really are robots. They have no souls.'The Dark Knight couldn't pick up on any souls. After gaining the magical powers they did, humans naturally realized the existence of souls on their own, and that wasn't counting the mysterious Seeker program that infiltrated everyone's devices to give them valuable knowledge on the new mystical world.While normal people couldn't sense souls, the most powerful on Earth had begun to. However, none of them could sense anything of that nature among the robots present. Not even the Avatar who spoke to them had it, although, they weren't sure if that was because he was so powerful as to simply mask himself.None of that was of any consequence though. These robots were exceptional
Seeing the notification pop up, Dream was surprised. He also noticed that the notification came from Sophia, not the system.[[Summons From Another World] will be evolved.][Primary components will be specialized.][Cutting external connection...][Modifying existing skill... Allocating space...][Complete.][Generating the Passive Skill: [Catalog]][Generating the Active Skill: [Dimensional Tunneling]][Generating the Active skill: [Arcane Transmu----------[Fuck off! I can handle a skill bestowal by myself, dammit!]Suddenly, Sophia roared angrily and cut off the notifications. Dream chuckled."You good?"[Ugh! Yes! We're going to do this my way! Alright! Generating the skills.]Saying that, Sophia channeled energy and began the process of building the skills. Through her, Dream could sense the data streaming in for those skills. While he couldn't tell where it came from, he did know it was his Title. That thing had always been super involved with his evolutions.Soon, the three new
"Alright! We move on our target in 5!"In the former territories of Russia, a certain group of Supers was assembled.This group was an attack squad from the Dark Knight Alliance. The person who shouted was the vice-captain, the girl in red armor who was assigned to communicate with the aliens upon their arrival.Now though, she was all the way on the other side of the world. This was normal. All guilds in every country frequently sent attack groups to different sections of the globe in order to carry out raids on settlements of monsters. One of the most frequently visited areas was the former country of Russia, which had fallen as a result of being the epicenter of the demon appearance.This was where this particular attack group was, and their target was a small settlement of demons that looked like a large village.Soon after shouting, all the Supers were equipped with armor and weapons and standing at the ready in front of the vice captain. She looked them all over, nodded, and the
