LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 274: Plan Implemented
Finally making his decision and clarifying his plan, Lorien rubbed his chin pretending to think about Denji's proposal.
In doing so, Lorien didn't forget to show signs of struggle, helplessness, and weariness on his face, aiming to make his act as convincing and realistic as possible.
Maintaining such expressions for a few moments, Lorien finally transitioned into a resolute expression as multicolored power visibly emerged around his body.
The moment this power emerged, it swiftly spread across Lorien's domain, enveloping every person within it, leaving a layer of energy coating surrounding them.
"Huh?"
"What's this?"
"!!!!"
Instantly noticing the sudden emergence of this power, panic gripped everyone, especially the demon hunters who had just spoken with Lorien.
"Hey, hey, didn't we just ask you to send us out? We can talk more about it."
"Yes, Yes."
Seeing this and noticing everyone and especially Power's panicked expression, Lorien felt an urge to tease them, a mischievous glint dancing in his eyes.
However, with the looming threat of an imminent attack hanging over him like a figurative and literal dark cloud ready to burst, he suppressed this impulse.
Right now, he understood that time was of the essence, and he couldn't afford to squander it on frivolous jests, no matter how tempting they might be.
'Tsk, whatever, there will be other opportunities in the future...'
So, after quelling that thought, Lorien wasted no time as his voice rang out, strangely resonating in the hearts of everyone present.
"Sigh..."
"You shouldn't be here, this is not your battle."
"As fellow human beings, I can't in good conscience watch you all die for no reason."
"If you remain here, your deaths will be nothing but casualties in a struggle between me and the will of this world."
"So, in light of this, let me send you out."
Stating this, the energy coats surrounding everyone suddenly burst forth, swirling around like burning flames.
At this moment, from an outsider's perspective, it appeared as if Lorien was preparing to execute a powerful move to transport everyone within his domain far away.
It's just that what no one was able to notice was that while this was partially true, the majority of Lorien's attention was actually focused on planting [Seeds] within these people.
These Seeds served a dual purpose; Figuratively, they symbolized the seeds for Lorien's future plan, while literally, they were the seeds of the Dream Trees.
Normally, Lorien would plant Dream Trees across the world to create a network of trees that allowed him to gather dream energy.
However, given the current world's dislike for him, Lorien surmised that if he attempted this approach, the trees would be swiftly destroyed.
Therefore, Lorien opted for another method that the world simply couldn't prevent or stop.
Instead of planting the trees in the physical realm, Lorien decided to implant them within the dreams of these people.
There, hidden away from the physical world, the trees will remain inaccessible and undetectable by the world.
Additionally, Lorien didn't forget to implement an automatic dream seed creation and spreading method which ensures that more dream tree seeds would be born and disseminated within the vicinity of these individuals, thereby expanding the network.
Furthermore, to extend this network across the entire planet, Lorien included a command that instilled an urge within these people to travel around the globe.
'This should be enough...'
Completing his main task, a smile couldn't help but spread across Lorien's face as he lifted his head toward the sky.
'I've never tried to forcefully take control of a world.'
'While I began this first, you did indeed try to kill me, this is simply a matter of position and perspective.'
'So, let's see who emerges victorious in the end!'
Narrowing his eyes, Lorien began mobilizing his energy in preparation to finally send these people away.
It's just that before doing so, Lorien wanted to add another layer to his plan, a means to distract the world and divert its attention.
So, opening his mouth once more, Lorien declared.
"People of this world; Destiny has not been in your favor."
"This is a world where demons are dominant."
"A world where you have been long oppressed."
"Most of you are broken, and some are even crazy."
"So, do you want revenge?"
"Do you want the power to protect yourself? The power to not be in constant fear?"
"Do you want to stand in the midst of hell and dispel the darkness?"
"I have it all here!"
The more Lorien spoke, the more excited he appeared, this sentiment was also mirrored by all the listeners as their hearts thudded louder with each phrase spoken.
"HAHAHHAHA!"
Appearing joyful, his laughter echoing through the space, Lorien spoke one last time.
"I'll be waiting for you here."
"As long as you hold kindness in your hearts, you won't be turned away."
"So come! I, the Lord of the Dream Path, will be waiting for you here. For this world can't kill me, nor can this earth bury me."
Completing his high-level MLM practice in one breath, Lorien turned his head towards the demon slayers, who had restored their calm thanks to Lorien's speech and now even appeared excited.
"I don't care if you are a devil, fiend, human, or something in between; All I care for is the heart and conscience."
Saying this, Lorien finally waved his hand, causing everyone to teleport away to different cities across Japan, far from the battlefield.
'Tsk, it's finally done.'
'Additionally, this distraction I added at the end might also be more useful that I originally thought.'
'For example, I can modify the dream path that I spread so that whenever these devil hunters kill devils, I can steal some of the laws it has' Lorien thought to himself, considering the potential benefits of his added strategy.
'This way, even if I remain here, I can still gather Law power.'
Thinking of this, Lorien raised his head towards the sky once again, fixing his gaze upon the dark cloud that had begun to release black and red lightning snakes once more.
"HAAHHAHAH!"
"Come on, may the best win!" Lorien exclaimed, his voice and laughter full of excitement and arrogance.
