As I saw the downloads for the dating simulator staring yours truly, Andromeda quickly created the Path Jewel for me.
[My beloved master, the path jewel recipe is ready!]
"Very well then, combine the ingredients and spend the Skill Points needed."
[It will be done as you desire.]
Flash!
Suddenly, I saw many lumps of light of different colors surging from the System, merging constantly in a single place through my abilities.
The large lumps of light began to condense together until the very core of such power was crystalized, a Path Jewel was formed, shining brightly with pink-colored light!
Ding!
[You exchanged 40.000 Divine Skill Points (Rank 3)!]
[Skill: Transcendental Dream & Nightmares Source; Level 10] + [Skill: Calamity Abyss Demoness Mirage-Attribute Magic; Level 10] + [Title: Sovereign of Dream and Nightmares] + [Class: Phantasos] + [Class: Phobetor] + [Class: Dream World Creator God] + [Class: Divine Crafter of Dreams] = [Divine Goddess of Illusive Fantastical Dreams and Terrifying Nightmares] [Path Jewel]
Ding!
[You have acquired the [Divine Goddess of Illusive Fantastical Dreams and Terrifying Nightmares] [Path Jewel]!]
"Amazing, Andromeda-chan. Well done. Now… let's open a Path Board Orifice and let's stick this thing into my soul already," I said, as I quickly put my intent into my vast Path Board, which shined brightly with the light of each of the Path Jewels I had incrusted n the orifices, each jewel shined like a bright star amidst a vast and dark universe, a truly beautiful sight to behold.
[You spent 32.000 Divine Skill Points (Rank 3)!]
[The [Seventh Path Board Orifice] has been unlocked!]
Flash.
Suddenly, a void within my Path Board, the embodiment of my very soul, emerged.
This empty void that resembles a black hole completely still within space is where Path Jewels go, a Path Orifice!
I quickly move the floating, pink-colored Path Jewel I just got and insert it inside this empty void.
Flash!
Quickly after, the Path Jewel begins to glow in many bright colors, expanding like roots all around the "galaxy" around the Path Jewel, filling my soul with new power.
Done!
Now, time to feed it with Skill Points, but first, let's check what this Path Jewel has to offer, I am already quite excited.
…

Active Effect: Through your amazing comprehension of the Dream and Illusion Attributes, you are capable of bringing to real objects or beings from Dreams/Nightmares or Dream Worlds momentarily.

While being trapped inside a Dream, their soul would be slowly consumed.

Active Effect: Unleash the most horrifying of nightmares and the worst fears of a target inside of their minds, shaking their common sense and warping their perception of reality, the stronger a target is compared to you, the harder is to successfully induce a nightmare.
…
Every Ability was amazing.
I was quite dumbfounded.
With this, I can really call myself a Goddess of Dreams and Illusions!
These abilities bring new things to the table which I wasn't able to do before, such as entrapping someone inside a Dream or inducing a Nightmare into their very minds directly! Even if it is a God, they might shit themselves in fear when I do this to them…
Alongside that, I can now travel through Dreams and Nightmares with great swiftness, something that I was not able to completely do before, in fact, my power over it was rather random and I could sometimes be thrown into Dream Worlds without me even realizing it.
But now I have complete control over this power, and I can use it with great talent through this ability.
And additionally, one of the most amazing parts of this is… the power to materialize dreams and illusions into things that I can bring to the real world!
Before, anything that I carried outside of a dream that wasn't already from this world would begin to dissipate into pink-colored ethereal particles of light.
Does this mean that I can bring the other Gods temporarily outside now? Like Bilili and Vulcan?
Or an entire fucking planet there.
Well, it is only temporary, they can't be turned "Real" forever unless I continuously waste Divine Energy. And I bet a whole planet would cost way too much.
But this Still means that I can bring the guys to the battle.
Two amazing Dream Gods such as them could help me conjure the other powers of my Path Jewel even better, and as they are connected to my soul, they can use such abilities right away.
It would be like bringing two powerful Dream Attribute Clones to the fray.
Anyways, enough babbler, time to get this going.

Maxed!
The moment I maxed this Path Jewel, I felt a rush of power surge through my entire Soul, even reaching my physical body and showering me with dreamy, illusory, pink-colored fog.
My eyes began to gleam with this fog, as I glanced all around me and saw how everything became a bit strange.
W-Wait, what is this?
I began to peek all around myself, as I found small bubbles floating everywhere.
Wait, these are Dreams, the Dreams of everyone.
I was able to kind of seeing them before, but now I can simply do it with my normal sight?
I can even detect what's inside of them without even putting much intent.
And there are millions of bubbles floating everywhere.
These are Dream Worlds generated by anyone capable of dreaming…
