The meeting continued on for the rest of its allotted time.For the most part, Dream had remained quiet throughout, only clarifying some information where it needed to be. Since he wasn't the ruler of an Empire, he couldn't dictate everything and had to let them come to their own compromise. If he pushed too hard in fact, it would lead to the opposite result.So the meeting went on for a while more before people began finishing up their discussions. Shane eventually spoke up when it came time."Alright. We are approaching the end of this part. Would anyone like to make any last statements?"After he asked, a few people spoke up and made final remarks. As they did, several people looked to Dream, as if expecting something.Noticing their gazes, he figured that he could say one last thing."Can I say something?""Of course."Everyone listened in on perhaps the most controversial person in the meeting."...A wise man once said: 'The only thing necessary for evil to triumph, is for good m
When Dream was presented with all of his resources, Sophia began listing them off.[6000 tons of steel, 1800 tons of silver, and 1200 tons of other miscellaneous materials like copper, tungsten, graphite, and others. Guess how much of the silver and steel is grade 8.]"Hmm, 10%?"[Try 30%. The bots never stopped their enhancements and have continuously been blowing things up.]"I guess that explains why this station is filled with mana fog."Dream looked around the storage, noticing the dense fog that was ever-present.[It gathered up over time as the robots kept pulling more and more mana. But here's the best part. We've got loads of grade 9 material. The only reason why it's not higher is because the robots could never explode metal of such strength.]"How much grade 9?"[400 tons for steel and 150 tons for silver.]"Haha, we're rich!"[I guess that's one way to look at it.]Dream smiled even wider as he looked upon the super valuable resources. He walked over to a pallet and picked
"You're trying to help us escape."Selene looked at Dream with eyes of disbelief."Not just help you. Pretty soon, Riddick and I are coming over there to get you guys out.""Really?!"Iris shouted in joy, a smile blooming on her face."That's right, baby.""Wait, I don't think you understand how dangerous that is.""Oh believe me I do. But there's a reason we're doing it now. In fact, let's bring him on right now."The next moment, another image appeared in their vision. It was a man, reaching up into a bookshelf."Dad!""Hm? Iris? Selene?"Riddick looked around in confusion before laying eyes on Dream."You told them?""Pretty much. Though I didn't want to spoil your news, so I brought you on.""Hmph. I guess now's the best time.""Riddick? What happened?"Selene looked to Riddick curiously."I've advanced to class 4.""What? Really?! Haha! Dad advanced!""Congratulations!"The girls got excited and congratulated their dad. Meanwhile, Selene looked at him in thought."...You know how
About an hour after they plotted the designs, Dream and Sophia had finished constructing boosters and ships.The first boosters they created were one that would transport the railgun platforms. Once they finished those they connected them to the existing reactor onboard and hooked them up to the structure. This made the railguns totally mobile and capable of moving anywhere in the world.Next were the ships. Well, he actually only needed one, but he made 5. On the ships were much smaller torus reactors than the ones the railguns used, being only 5 feet in diameter. He put these in the roof of the ships where they were then connected to two small reactor engines on each of the wings, similar to the VTOLs he had previously made just with double the engines.He also armored each ship heavily with high-grade steel as well as liquid mana-based enchantments for stealth and defense. This was going to be used to escape after all and they needed to be able to take hits, resist spells, and run
"Old Man. Gimme your densest mana."After quickly forming the enchantments in the suit, Dream then needed to integrated Riddick's mana directly. This would ensure that his spells would work as they were designed for his mana, not Dream's."Ok. Just be careful.""Whoah"After Riddick began streaming liquid mana and Dream grabbed a hold of it, he suddenly felt how different it was.Riddick's mana was not only extremely destructive, but incredibly hard to control. Dream had to really stress himself to even guide it over to the suit."What the hell happened to your mana?!""It was a part of my advancement. I'm honestly surprised you're able to control it at all.""Well the only reason I can is because of my own advancement."As Dream spoke and controlled the mana, he could see a few notifications stream down his vision.'Two levels. Nice.'[I'm analyzing this mana. It's not normal mana.]'Is it just because of a skill?'[No. In fact, I
Dream saw a blip in his vision indicating the building the girls were in.His heart suddenly started beating harder.'Can I go in?'[Raoul's aura is being released, though I don't think he's using it. Slowly enter it, but be ready to run. I've already got the railguns locked on to your location.]'Ok.'Nodding, Dream began slowly flying into the range of the aura. But after entering it, nothing changed with the aura nor on the outside. He went all the way to the top of the building that the girls were in before stopping.'Huuhh...So I think we're good.'[I think so too. Looks like you being able to sneak up on Riddick and Idona wasn't for nothing. Though the fact that this aura is here makes things a bit more difficult. Raoul is ever sensitive to the connections between him and his daughter and once that connection shows dramatic movement, he'll act.]'So we need to get out in that time window of confusion. Luckily my stealth is good, so he may see them moving, but not me.'[Before yo
When they walked into the cabin, Dream re-did a bunch of the enchantments around the place, just to touch it up.As he had preserved it before the girls were taken, everything was still the way it was. The girls ran around the place checking out their home sweet home. Riddick also brought Selene around, who was interested in the place they stayed in for 20 years."Actually, Old Man, what do you think about moving the house?""Moving? Where?""Well, you know that project I did at the Dome after you recovered? Well, the purpose of the project was to provide a hiding place for when I recovered you guys. And while the girls were taken before I could complete it, I still completed it.""What about those pesky clans that use it?""They can no longer get in. I changed the enchantments on the core to not allow anyone entry, regardless of species. That should have blocked them out, so that dome has just been flourishing on its own for a while. So what do you say we move into it? It'll be our o
Luna and Iris watched in awe as all the enchantments and materials moved fluidly between the bots. And at some point, Riddick and Selene had also come out to watch."Boy? What is all this?""These are all the bots that construct things and mine my resources, as well as the ones who enhance the resources. After this is done, I'll be able to mine faster, build stronger machines, and enhance materials rapidly. I'll also be building more miners, enhancing the searching drones, and building more recon drones, allowing them to detect mana. I'll make some scout bots as well for the demons.""Wait, did you say enhancing resources?"Selene suddenly blurted out. Dream could hear the surprise and speculation in her voice."I did. Why?""...What do you mean specifically by enhance?""I mean raising the grade of a material. Do you know about it?""I know that enhancing materials is a myth according to the general populous. But in actuality, it's an extremely secret technique known only by a select
