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 arrival 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.

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 gettin...

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 ...

The next day, Dream, Luna, and Iris left the dome and boarded a ship, heading for the Mercenary Empire.
Upon arrival, they found that the Pope, Cardinals, and all the class 4's were already outside and waiting. Of course not absolutely everyone was there. There were a few Cardinals and class 4's of the Empire that would stay behind.
Dream's ship landed and the hatch opened. The Emperor and Pope walked over to him.
"Dream."
"Pope. Emperor. Everyone can come aboard. If i...

After setting themselves up in the largest meeting room in the palace, the church along with the class 4's from every Empire began the second meeting of the day.
"Pope, Dream had spoken to us earlier about how you and your forces wish to begin fighting the demons."
The Emperor started the meeting wanting to know about what their stance was.
"That is the case, Emperor. The demons are a scourge, an infection on this world. At all costs, they must be removed and destroyed. The ...

The cardinal sat there for a bit as Dream pondered.
"...Alright, Cardinal. How do you plan to make yourselves and forces known?"
"Well, we have many forces that we wish to move to the Mercenary Empire so they can be put on the frontlines."
"That won't be difficult. I'll talk to the Emperor. And you know what, why don't you bring all the other Cardinals over there? Since we fought a battle, everyone is still there. You would be able to introduce yourselves."

Dream turned around, and wouldn't you know it, Lory was standing a few meters away.
"Lory?"
"It's me!"
Knowing that he recognized her, Lory beamed brightly and hopped over. Dream just smiled sheepishly.
Since he had last seen her, Lory hadn't changed much physically, but she gave off a more mature aura. He was a bit surprised. Not only that, but she seemed even more powerful than before. Not quite class 3, but not far from it.
"How's it going, Lory."

*Fwoosh!*
The 4 archers beside Dream loosed their arrows before he even finished his sentence. And like beams of light, all four arrows headed straight for the demon that failed to kill the fighter.
"Growl..."
Sensing the danger, the assassin demon separated himself from the fighter and disappeared. All four arrows hit the ground only a split second later, exploding with their spells.
"Damn."
The archers cursed having missed their target. While those arrows proba...

After waiting for the demons to calm back down and lower their guard, the ships went right back to the marching armies.
"How are the targets, Dream?"
The Emperor came over to him and asked. Dream nodded.
"They're staying spread out besides a few groups of two or three. Everyone should be able to see them."
"Indeed...It looks like we'll be able to handle this rather easily."
"We can attack multiple singles at once with two or three of our own, but we have to make ...

Everyone watched the countdown in the vision with nervousness and expectation.
[5...4...3...2...1...Release.]
Up in space, the platform activated a propellant and released the carrying mechanism, allowing a missile to fly out on its path.

[4 minutes...]
[2 minutes...]
[20 seconds to detonation...]
When it got to this point, everyone could almost see the missile up above them. The missile was big, being nearly 30 meters lon...

Two days after the battle, all class 4's and class 3 generals, officers, and politicians were called to a meeting
At the meeting, the lead class 4, or the standing emperor, went over several reports that had been compiled over the two days.
Turns out, Dream's estimate for deaths was rather close. Of the nearly 50 million people who lived there about 12 million had died. And this was only from that sneak attack. This also meant that more civilians died than soldiers in that battle,...

"See! I knew you would kill all of them! There's not even half left!"
Contrary to the feelings of those around her, Iris was rather displeased.
Not long after the class 4's went to battle, Dream had cut the previously 3 million strong army down to only 1.1 million. His bots and aircraft were just too capable against these demons. Especially the bots.
While they had lost nearly 2,000, there were still 78,000 bots constantly finding their nearest enemy and hacking them to piec...

After taking their designated places, the class 4's kept a vigilant eye out.
But while they were more confident and secure, the same couldn't be said for the other soldiers.
After seeing the sheer size of the horde, many officers started sweating and many weaker soldiers started trembling. The violent and menacing aura that seemed to reject all life could be felt washing over everyone even within the city. And as the ones who had to face this aura head on, the weak soldiers class ...

Over the next several days, Dream and the family spent their time training and developing their magic.
Iris especially. Her power was unique, versatile, and strong. And while her training consisted of draining her energy, she had the overpowered ability to eat and recover that energy.
This was exactly what happened after their first training session when she massacred that bear den. After coming out, not only had she recovered her mana but her soul had also regained its lost energ...

As the two clashed, both very quickly realized certain things about the other.
For Dream, it was that Iris' flames were no longer simple flames. And for Iris, it was that Dream was truly much different than he used to be, especially in regards to his body.
Dream had known that Iris would travel down the path of a predator that ate and got stronger. It was the basis for her [Devour] skill. Her fire was more of a complementary skill. But although he knew this, he didn't know how it ...

"Alright. The time is now. Everyone prepare for battle!"
A man shouted through a mana channel. This channel was spread over the crowd of tens of thousands behind him.
Hearing this, all the soldiers tensed up and began making their last preparations. The class 3 officers and class 4's also began preparing to lead this army.
When everyone had finished, they all gathered and formed up, awaiting orders. Seeing this, the officers nodded and began their march. Their destination wa...

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 bui...

8 hours later, Dream had two very satisfied girls laying on him.
He smiled a bit seeing their content faces.
[Look how happy you are.]
'I am very happy. To come this far with these two...It just feels right. They make me happy, and hopefully I was able to do that for them.'

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.

His heart suddenly started beating harder.

'Ok.'
Nodding, Dream began slowly driving into the range of the aura. But after entering it, nothing changed within the aura or on the outside. He went all the way to th...

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 ...

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 ...

Everyone here had agreed that measures must be taken against them, though the methods and details of these measures are varied and different. This is what we are here to discuss...
