World Domination System

World induced… Dream?

For the first time in recent memory, Daneel felt so much shock that he turned into a blubbering idiot.

The millions of people in front of him just couldn't stop cheering, and to them, the distance made him look as if he was just so overwhelmed by all the support and love that he was receiving that his face had gone blank.

In reality, though…it was his mind that had gone completely blank, and he was even close to stuttering out a question so incoherent that not even the best linguist on the continent could have been able to figure out just what he was saying.

Thankfully, due to all of the experience he had obtained so far, he was able to snap out of it in a few seconds, and even after that, he was very tempted to shake his head like a comic book character so that he could clear it and dig deeper into what the system had just said.

Instead of that, though, realizing that the answers that he would receive might also be just as shocking, he made the decision that he would first use this historic moment as much as he could to solidify the thing that had saved his life, instead of being distracted like a child who had been given a new toy.

With that, he furrowed his eyebrows and tightened his lips, thus signaling to the entire world that was watching that they should stop.

At the same time, getting a sudden idea, he said in his mind, "System, my objective now is to speak so that my words will have the greatest effect on all of these people, and stay in their hearts for a long time. Is there anything that you can do to help me make that happen in the best way possible?"

He had gotten a hunch, and although it was about something that should be impossible, he waited with bated breath for the answer.

And sure enough… The system did not disappoint.

[Objective received. Newly unlocked cognition engine is studying the objective. Study completed. Multiple ways found to accomplish required task. Shortlisting based on available resources and situation. Taking into account foreign interference and multiple locations and identities of individuals who will be targeted. Three methods found. Listing methods:

1. Combination of hypnotic methods can be used to place the recipients in a trance where they will accept whatever they are told. The trance will be most effective on normal people. Heroes will only have a 20% chance of being swayed. Even if they do not enter the trance, host's words will still have the maximum effect possible if it is such that the other two methods are not used.

2. Another illusion can be used to give the impression that host has invincible power. However, this method has the risk of raising questions regarding the exact change that resulted in host gaining said power. The events so far can be explained away reasonably if certain tactics are used, but further displays will not be able to be justified. However, since the event that has already occurred makes it seem that host's enemies have been squashed, an illusion of their remains can be used to create a long-standing image that will have a major effect on the psyches of people from all power levels.

3. Newly unlocked Advanced Phenomena Analysis Module has created a submodule which has been named 'World Injection'. Using the Path of the host, under certain conditions, the essence of the World can be injected into certain actions for a limited number of times using the resources of the system. This was used for inducing the dream that incapacitated the opponents of the host. The same submodule can be used to power host's words. Warning: the effectiveness of the injection will be directly proportional to the base effectiveness of host's words.]

He had been right!

With the first answer that Daneel had received from the upgraded system, itself, he had realized that something was fundamentally different.

Usually, although the system had gotten smarter and smarter since the first time that he had heard its voice after transmigrating to this continent, it had a certain barrier which did not allow it from functioning completely on its own and making a decision, unless a lot of factors were given to it to be studied.

Before, Daneel had not told it to find a way that would work not just for the people who were in front of him, but also for the Heroes who were watching: still, the system had utilized a method where even those watching through display trinkets had seen a fake copy of what everyone who was present were experiencing. For those in front of him, a deeper dream had to be made so that they could feel the awe and power of whatever had acted from above, but for those watching through the trinkets, only the image was sufficient, and the end result. In the same way, Daneel had trusted the system to study everything, and once again, it had taken into account all of the factors present and given him the best options.

It only took a moment to make his decision.

"If I can't trust my own words, would I have gotten this far? One electrifying speech: coming right up! Deploy the third plan."

[Deploying. Studying the environment. 2 messages pending: urgent attention required.]

Oh? This was new.

Daneel had been using the Basilisk's Breath continuously so that he could have as much time as possible, and hence, he still had a few seconds that he could use to listen to the system.

"What are they?"

[1. Foreign Artefact used by host's opponent to trap host is in a vulnerable state. Control of the Artefact can be obtained by manipulating the current owner.

2. Global Godnet ready for deployment. All pending problems of deployment have been solved using new capabilities of system.]

The two messages from the system made Daneel pause, but after that, his cheeks lifted as the widest grin possible came on his face.

Thankfully, though, he stopped it at the last moment, before sending a command to the system in an ecstatic voice.

"Take control of it right now- create another illusion of me near Vohler to make it happen. Also…activate the Godnet, and create the thrones."
