While the dragons were flying around in the sky, the entire ground suddenly started shaking. Fierce winds howled in anger, and all methods of communication with the mortal plane were being cut off.
However, I didn't pay too much attention to the dragons in the sky. After all, compared to the enemies and troubles we were about to face, the dragons were nothing more than small troubles.
"Small troubles? Of course they're small troubles. If we had made enemies with the dragons yesterday, it would have been super troublesome. Perhaps all of us would have been chased out or directly killed by the dragons. But today, the situation is completely different. "
Tias Jr. was one of the strongest existences in the Chaos Faction. He was the leader of the nine Devil Lords and a Chaos Main God. However, he was currently descending in his true body, which hadn't moved for tens of thousands of years.
He had a friendly smile on his face as he placed his right hand on top of his head and greeted the dragons circling in the sky. However, not a single one of them dared to come down.
Of the nine Devil Lords, there were three Main God level existences, and two of them were on our side. Although the other Main God, the "Monarch of Despair", wasn't present right now, the "King of Lies" was more than enough to control the situation.
The Order Faction only had a total of seven Main Gods, including the completely unreliable "neutral" Aillé. Meanwhile, the Chaos Faction had a total of thirteen Main Gods … including Cavendish, there were now fourteen Main Gods.
Indeed, from an outsider's perspective, the Devil Lords were on the same level as the Death God Aillé. They were incomprehensibly powerful, just like the God of Holy Light, Demon Princes, and Elf Main Gods. Naturally, the dragons didn't dare to come down when they recognized the Devil Lords.
These were existences who stood at the peak of all dimensions. Just their wills alone were capable of changing the power of the heavens and dimensional laws. Their power levels were far beyond imagination. Perhaps the dragons also had existences on par with Main Gods, but I didn't believe that they existed here. Otherwise, they would have used them against the Titan Giants long ago.
The dimensional door leading to the Chaos Abyss hadn't completely closed yet. Countless devils were streaming out. Some were tall and sturdy, while others were short and sinister. There were obvious differences in strength between each individual. This was something that devils couldn't understand due to their standard power level and species.
Devils all evolved and leveled up step by step. From little devils to powerful alchemists and even Devil Lords, they leveled up step by step as if they were job classes. This was the most obvious difference between devils and the Chaos Demons.
But if one thought about their backgrounds, it was quite simple.
"The Highest Citizen?"
In the ancient history books, the Alpine Clan was the first human clan. They were generally more than two meters tall, tall and sturdy. They were extremely good at fighting. In the ancient Ice Age, they only wore thin animal skin clothes to hunt powerful ancient magical beasts.
Nowadays, the Barbarian Tribes like to emphasize that they are the descendants of the High Mountain Tribe. But based on what I know, this is purely a facade. Because, other than those High Mountain Tribe who have fallen into depravity, the other first-generation humans have all been exterminated by God's Law and Judgementors. The Order Faction would never show mercy to traitors.
In that case, these countless strange devils before me were the Most Ancient Citizens from the Immemorial Era. This was the only possibility that could explain why they didn't belong to the Devil Faction at all in terms of appearance, species, and abilities. After all, these devils existed even before the Devil Faction.
Everyone knew that anything that was related to the word "Immemorial" or "Immemorial" would sound powerful even if people didn't understand it. This tremendous number of devils were all Immemorial Devils that had experienced countless Holy Wars. Just a slight calculation would make it seem frightening. And the fact that so many Immemorial Devils were able to survive the Holy Wars proved that the Devil Lords didn't always put in much effort. It was no wonder that the Chaos Abyss was becoming more and more fond of demons. After all, those bloodthirsty and berserk demons were absolutely qualified cannon fodder.
Of course, taking such a huge risk and allowing these devils to enter this dimension was not only because I owed Aillé, but also because I truly needed sufficient combat strength.
There was no such thing as an airtight wall in this world. True Gods and even higher-level existences were no idiots. They would soon notice that something was wrong and do something about it. At the very least, until this dimension was completely cut off from the mortal plane, it would be easy to predict whether the devils would chase after them or attack them. At that time, these Immemorial Devils would become the Hades' personal guards.
But now, these ancient devils didn't show the slightest bit of laziness or excitement upon stepping foot on this vast primitive land. Most of them were armed to the teeth, and those seemingly unarmed devils were actually even more dangerous. But after they arrived, they nervously looked to their left and right as if they were doubtful. Then, they vigilantly looked at the dragons in the sky, but didn't attack.
"You understand that the more people that know, the more likely it is that the information will be leaked. Right now, the order they received is only to attack a unique dimension. And, under my final order, nobody is allowed to attack. "
I nodded. At this moment, I also felt like the Lord of Lies before me was rather friendly. After all, we were indeed the same type of person.
"Of course I understand. After all, I'm the same …"
That's right, on our side, the only person who knew the entire plan was Harloys, who was mentally connected to me. She believed that it was impossible to hide it, so she only told Estrada and Orloss a small part of the plan. Even if they died, they wouldn't leak any information. In fact, I was worried that Eliza would leak information in the Chaos Abyss, so I didn't tell her a single word. If it wasn't for her own request, I would have thrown her into the Chaos Abyss … It seemed that I had discovered the reason why she was so angry.
Cough, getting back to the main topic, I had made so many preparations in the Northlands, allowing Renée and Glina to be able to handle the situation on their own. I also provided them with sufficiently powerful support forces, and did my best to reorganize the situation in the Northlands so that the Mist Alliance could take shape. This was so that the Mist Alliance would be able to face the increasingly grim future situation without me.
Although the Mist Alliance was located far away from the Northlands, nobody knew what would happen in the future. If news of the Mist Alliance's plan leaked, it was highly likely that the Mist Alliance would receive revenge.
If our plan succeeded, it would probably be several years before we returned to the Northlands. The Holy War would be at its climax by then, and the two Queens would need to be able to carry the Mist Alliance's banner. But if we failed, their burdens would only be heavier.
This was why I had made so many preparations in the Northlands. The Northlands was our foundation. Even if our plan succeeded, we couldn't afford to lose that place.
"Renée and Glina will probably be angry if they find out."
"Glina is fine. Your last attempt at teaching her was almost like your last words. She faintly guessed at something. As for Renée, I feel like she's completely in a position to be angry. She probably never even considered what her Brother Roland was planning. "
That's right, I didn't even say a single word about the two future Northlands Queens. I even hinted to Glina that "I'll have to rely on you two in the future. Renée is far too impulsive. Take good care of her." As for Renée, I didn't even say a single word about her because I was afraid that Cavendish would be able to guess something from my words. After all, my younger brother's wild instincts were quite a headache sometimes.
"It seems that I really did go overboard with Renée."
Now that I thought about it, considering how she was looking at me from behind, not only did I intentionally keep her away from all secrets and important matters, I even lied to her from time to time. It was all thanks to the thick-skinned Renée. If it had been the narrow-minded Eliza, I probably would have long since given her a lot of trouble.
"… I feel like the gaze behind me is even colder now. I've even forgotten that her instincts are quite astonishing, especially when I'm speaking ill of her."
"Everyone, be serious. We're at war."
"Ha, I already told you that the Dragons are nothing more than minor problems. We won't be able to start a war … at least, not for the time being."
The Dragons were no idiots. The devil army before them was astonishingly powerful, and their leader was even a Main God. Not only that, the magic contract that was supposed to be our mercenary contract was currently glowing. Naturally, the Dragons felt that they had been tricked by me. Perhaps they had only been tricked by the contract, which meant that their reinforcements would still be useful.
That was why, at the very least, they wouldn't be able to start a war before confirming that there was an irreconcilable conflict of interest.
"Finally … the situation has changed."
I could only sigh. When I first arrived in Dragon World, the Dragons viewed us as an unnecessary existence. Actually, for a very long time, we had always been viewed as insignificant outsiders.
Originally, only the Dragons and Titan Giants had been "fighting" for this world. From the very start, we had been viewed as insignificant helpers. From Dragon City's perspective, this was indeed correct. After all, in this world, power was everything. But for our goal, this was impossible. From the very start, my goal had been this world.
It would be quite troublesome to explain all of this. But from a certain standpoint, the grand plan had only just begun. It was just a simple outline with a goal in mind. And after a design goal was stated, the industrial foundation and design principles needed to achieve this goal would all need to be developed step by step. However, there was one thing that couldn't be lacking — raw materials.
"Starting from scratch and modifying the original foundation are two completely different difficulties. Dragon World is absolutely necessary for us. Since its physical structure is unstable, Dragon World will be the best source of world fragments. Dragon World will be the best material storage for our Hell of Hades."
And this collapsing world would be the most suitable material and filler. Our next goal would be to use Dragon World as raw materials to gradually fulfill all of the steps in our plan and create a brand new world.
I would probably need to start from the very beginning. I would need to talk about the foundational principles of the world.
In my previous world, Eastern Buddhists believed that the four cardinal elements were all emptiness. Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind were believed to be the foundational elements of all things. Astonishingly, in Greece, where Western civilization originated, the world had also been created from the four elements of earth, air, fire, and wind for a very long time.
This seemed astonishingly similar, but there was actually a reason for it. That was because the ancient people of Eich used idealism to observe the world. They attempted to categorize all things in the world and find out their foundational properties. Then, they would analyze the foundational elements of the world in order to analyze the structure of the world.
Perhaps in Eich's materialistic world, such a method of observation had already been proven to be inefficient and wrong. However, the world of Eich was a world of idealism. Magic was an existence that wasn't scientific at all. Willpower and the soul were both tangible powers, and one's stubborn way of thinking was capable of creating something as unscientific as a Soul World.
That day, the "free" knowledge that my System gave me for leveling up was the nutrition that I needed the most. This knowledge was far more valuable than any treasure. Even I was unable to understand where it had come from.
"The foundational principles and experience of the world's construction? The very first version of the Four Elemental Seals? Everything has returned to its original state? "
