"Fast! Follow emergency procedures!!" Yelled one of the men as he kept looking left and right nervously waiting for medical aid to arrive.
"DAMN IT! WHERE DID THEY GO?!" He roared anxiously appearing to be at his wit's end.
However, to both his complete surprise and utter disbelief, no one seemed to care much about him or the state of the president other than his fellow guards.
Right now, all these politicians and high-level military leaders had in mind was their positions and how they would keep their money, rights, and power after the sudden change in the world's landscape.
"So it wasn't a bluff..."
"What are we going to do? We are together in this..."
"For now, we aren't actually in much danger as we should easily be able to stabilize things with our current power and with the support of the people..."
However, just as one of the men said this, another quickly interrupted him with a sneer.
"Hmph, the people are the ones we should be most afraid of right now!"
"Now that we have tested his statements, we know for a fact that at least most of the things that the man said will come to being; This includes the world getting partitioned into domains and a large number of people gaining superpowers."
"..."
"Indeed, now that our modern weapons are completely useless, our only hope is to gather a large number of these awakened people; otherwise, it would be hard to do anything without the power to enforce the laws we set."
"Indeed, but It would be very hard to convince them."
"Yes, moreover, that guy's objective seems to be the decentralization and collapse of all governmental powers."
"Decentralization of powers? That guy simply wants the world to be plunged into a grand war!"
"Heh, wars huh, I don't think we have the right to talk about that."
"You..."
"Stop! This is not the time to get into these sorts of debates."
"Humph..."
"...Alright then...Any other suggestions?" Asked one of the men who had been keeping silent all this time.
"..."
However, before anyone could respond to his question, the dark sky suddenly lit up with a myriad of colors formed by innumerable beams of light that shot in every direction.
*BZZZZ*
*SWISH*
*SWISH*
Looking like a meteor shower of unprecedented proportions, these dreamy energy beams traveled through the sky and across the globe only falling once in a while when finding suitable targets.
Moreover, to add more mystery to the scene, the hundreds of thousands of Dream Trees that were hidden in the void between dream and reality suddenly manifested from nothingness each blooming with magnificent colors.
Now that Lorien had finally gained the [World Authority] the existence of these Dream Trees has become obsolete, after all, he can now directly extract the Dream Energy he needs from the world without the need for an intermediary.
However, after having used them for so long, Lorien didn't want to simply remove them, so, after thinking about it for a while, he decided to divide them into groups and merge them thereby turning them into larger dream trees that would stand at the center of each newly divided domain.
Moreover, not only will they act as the center of said domains, but they will also act as its anchor, and as the gate to the nightmare realm.
*BZZZZZZZZ*
The moment this was decided, everyone instantly felt the world get forcefully 'divided'.
Right now, no matter where anyone was standing, they could always instinctively feel what domain they were in and if it had a master.
Moreover, at the center of each domain, a large hundreds of meters tall dream tree appeared silently as if anchoring it to reality and acting as its link with the Nightmare Realm.
'Finally, it's over!'
Achieving all of this, a smile finally couldn't help but grace Lorien's face as a sense of accomplishment welled up in his heart.
Looking back at it, Lorien could vividly remember the day it all began; He clearly remembered how helpless and exhausted he felt, and how bleak his future seemed.
"Get a normal job, get a normal girlfriend, marry said girlfriend, get a couple of normal children, and have a hopefully normal death."
Thinking back to it, and looking how far he's come, Lorien couldn't help but feel amazed.
"With the right opportunities, luck, and hard work; nothing seems impossible..."
"This is the essence of dreams, it depends on how you look at it."
"If you see dreams as an impossibility, they'll only give you despair, however, if you look at them as a possibility, they'll provide you with endless hope!"
Thinking of this, Lorien couldn't help but smile happily as he looked at the void, gazing at the millions of new Dream Path Takers.
"HAHAHAHAHA!"
"Alright then!"
"Just as she guided me to a new path and gave me the opportunity to rise, then let me do the same to you!"
"I hope that you don't waste my hard work~"
"However, it's not like I don't have anything to gain from this..."
After all, as he closed his eyes, Lorien could feel the continuous feedback that he was receiving each passing moment from the new path-takers.
Compared to any previous feedback that he received, this one was of unprecedented speed and proportions.
As normal as water or fire control, and as mysterious as luck, calamity, and disaster; The awakened ability basically covered all the world's aspects and abilities.
Even Lorien himself was surprised at the weirdness of some of the awakened abilities.
"HAHAHAHA, my guess was correct!"
"With enough Dream Path takers and with the right circumstances, the Realm within my body will eventually turn into a real world!"
Focusing his attention on the Eternal Dream Realm which acted as the core of his power system, the grin on Lorien's face couldn't help but grow wider as he felt it getting stronger and more perfect by the second.
With all the different abilities that were being awakened, it felt as if all the missing pieces were finally gathered; All that was left now was just to organize and digest them.
Moreover, the improvement he was getting from the feedback wasn't limited to this as the more he received, the more his knowledge and perception of the world improved giving him a further understanding of the core of power thereby strengthening his 'foundation'.
"At this rate, It'll take me a few months to fully digest them."
