Seeing the scene of all these brave warriors that accompanied us through this dangerous journey finally meet with their loved ones made everything worth it.
"Thank you so much for helping us bring them back, lord Drake…" Tyrannus bowed his head in front of me, while being on tears. "We will be forever grateful of you and everyone that helped us! We owe you more than you can imagine…!"
"Well, I won't ask you for anything in return." I laughed. "Don't worry, I only did it because I thought it was the correct thing to do, it just came out of me. Nobody forced me, I just did what I wanted. Now, we should get moving, there's a whole village out there waiting for the return of their chief and his wife."
"R-Right…" Tyrannus nodded. "Thank you, nonetheless."
"Thank you so much, Lord Drake." Nemed thanked me too.
"No problem, haha." I smiled, looking into our surroundings.
FLUOOOSH!
The entire Dream Dungeon was repairing itself. The ruins where we were standing quickly lifted off the ground, as we ended finding ourselves sitting atop of the Nexus Corporations Building.
It was incredibly tall, making many people wonder how such a thing could be built to begin with… Surrounding us was a desolate, abandoned futuristic city.
This was just a dream, but Dream Dungeons can become solid objects and generate resources once they merge into my Divine Realm.
I'll soon have this entire place in there, I'll probably explore it and see what I can get out of this. But perhaps I could secure some good materials for Kate's mechs, and maybe other unique items this futuristic civilization had.
However, the perpetually dark skies opened for the first time, revealing a beautiful sunset.
"I suppose its time to move on… Let's go back to the surface, everyone."
There were many things I had yet to experiment and try out with my new abilities, but this wasn't the time for that, we had to quickly return.
However, I felt like I was forgetting something… Until it appeared right in front of our noses.
FLAAASH!
A wave of Divine Power and then several rewards materialized, alongside a message from the Dream Dungeon itself…
Ding!
[Congratulations, you've defeated the Final Boss and completed the Dream Dungeon!]
[The Dream Dungeon has rewarded you and all participants with great rewards!]
[You gained +300.000.000 Divine Power.]

[Your Dungeon Creation Divine Ability has been improved!]
[You can now further manipulate Dungeons and their Creation more smoothly.]
[You can now summon Dungeon Monsters and control them with ease.]
[You gained an additional [Dungeon Divinity Fragment] x30!]
Several rewards and powers were given right away. Aside from the Divine Power and the Divine Treasure Chests, there were now four Soul Spheres floating in front of me.
I can tell without a doubt that these are the souls of Test Subject 01 to 04… All of these annoying plant monsters we had to fight.
Which were abandoned by Jonathan long ago…
I could just shatter their souls or eat them, but remembering their memories and their abandonment, I don't think I can bring myself to do that.
I'll save them for now, and then see what I can do with them.
Moving on, the real prize…
A beautiful, green-colored flower with emerald petals and a red center resembling a sharp, demonic eye glancing directly into my soul.
Below the petals, it was covered on sharp spines, probably with some sort of deadly poison.
"This must be what I had come here for, I almost forgot, with all the things that happened…" I laughed a bit. "System, is this the one?"
[Indeed! This is the third Divine Material that resonated with your developing Ascendancy Law! We only had two before, which we harvested from your Divine Realm.]
[But with this, we've got three! Another one and we'll finally be able to begin. These Divine Treasures will become the pillars of your new Ascendancy Law.]
"And it'll help me evolve my abilities, especially those flames I got, into a new level…"
[That's the plan. Though, I am wondering if that's all you want?]
"Of course not, I do have a few ideas of what my Ascendancy Law will be… But we still need a fourth Divine Treasure, so I still have some time to think." I said. "Where could the other Divine Treasure be? Can you sense it?"
[I can. It is far away, I believe… It might be in the depths of the Venerable of Flames' inheritance.]
"Oh? That inheritance from all places…" I sighed. "I suppose I was destined to go there…"
[Yes, let's hope it is not a final reward and it appears before the last battle…]
"Let's hope."
I waved my hand as a Dream Portal opened, revealing us the outside world.
"Everyone, we're leaving. You can check your rewards later." I said.
Everyone quickly moved to my commands, walking out of the Dream Dungeon through the portal I opened with my mind.
"Let's see… [Dream Dungeon Absorption]"
FLUOOOSH!
The Dream Dungeon, once completed, became a "treasure" by itself, so I quickly absorbed it into my Divine Realm.
The large laboratories, and the ruined futuristic city appeared on a faraway, empty piece of land, infusing an enormous quantity of power into my Divine Realm.
However, all that power was left hanging on, as I needed an Ascendancy Law to continue absorbing this power and cultivate my Divine Core.
"I better get that damn Ascendancy Law quickly." I yawned, walking out of the Dream Dungeon.
"Hm?!"
However, in that very moment, I sensed something powerful- no, several powerful presences.
And they were all demonic in nature…
"Something's going on in the surface, let's hurry!"
Whatever was happening, we had to hurry up!
