"Ha, the entire sky is burning. How majestic."
The air in the Dragon World had never been so turbid. Two moons hung in the sky, but they were both bright red. The mountains in the distance were already floating in the sky, and the ferocious beasts were howling helplessly in the air.
An unlucky Green Dragon was suddenly trapped by a dimensional crack in the sky. In just a short instant, it went from an adult dragon to a young dragon, then to a young dragon, and finally to a dragon egg.
Time, gravity, space, and all the other fundamental laws of the world had problems. The physical constants all became random, and Dragon World was on the verge of collapse.
In the sky, the White Dragon Sam was roaring angrily as if he was trying to argue against something. However, the end result was that several dragon breaths almost roasted him.
The Supreme Immemorial White Dragon didn't counterattack. He just angrily landed on the ground and transformed back into his human form with a displeased expression.
"I told you, it's useless."
As for me, I had already advised him that it would be meaningless to explain himself at this moment.
"… These stubborn old artifacts deserve to be killed by the Titan Giants. Did they really think that they'd be able to escape unscathed?!"
The young Snow Elf's handsome face was filled with displeasure. However, he already knew that this would be the result, but he still wanted to try.
I shrugged but didn't say anything. At the very least, I didn't know what to say …
"You must have thought of something like this. You actually went up to explain yourself. The Dragons are furious at being tricked. It's meaningless for a 'traitor' like you to say anything to them. The fact that you weren't directly killed only means that they weren't confident in being able to kill you. "
Alright, I didn't say anything, but the Demon Lord didn't give me any face at all.
"You …"
However, even the Supreme Immemorial White Dragon didn't dare to turn against me. He could only look at me.
"Relax, I won't forget anything I promised you. The White Dragons will definitely become the strongest dragon species. And what I promised you … yep, I'll fulfill."
Of course, if it wasn't for the fact that I had given them such a powerful bargaining chip, it would have been impossible for the White Dragons to be willing to give up Dragon World. In fact, the other Dragons might even hate them and want to follow me.
Now that things had developed to this point, even if the dragons still wanted to remain neutral, it was impossible for them to do so. That was because even if the demons changed their attitude and didn't cause trouble for them, I had already arranged for some "old friends" to join them. They truly had a good relationship with Dragon City.
"Finally … Finally … I'm free!"
The ancient divine language echoed throughout the entire plane. Although no one understood this ancient tongue twister, its meaning was naturally understood by all intelligent beings.
In the haze, it was as if a giant had turned over its body. The pure power of Order had caused the dimension to vibrate even more intensely. The sleeping old Gods had finally begun to awaken.
Sam's face turned ghastly pale.
"It's... It's the Titan!"
"Yes, Titan."
Looking at the panicking Supreme Ancient White Dragon, I found it funny. It seemed that I had overestimated him.
Meanwhile, the dragons in the sky were even more flustered. They really did not expect that the Titan's seal would be opened at this time, and they would face the challenge of their old enemy.
"… You … What did you do?"
Even the old White Dragon fell into a state of panic in the face of the archenemy in the ancient epics.
"Me? I didn't do anything. I just followed the plan and isolated this plane from the other worlds. "
Actually, with the White Dragon Sam's knowledge and experience, he should have been able to guess what was going to happen as long as he carefully thought about it. Unfortunately, his eyes were already mesmerized by my beautiful promise, which was why he was so flustered.
Actually, it was quite easy to guess.
The Titan Giants had been sealed in this world by the Four Elemental Planes. The Four Elemental Planes were still connected to the Titan Giants, continuously supplying the Titan Giants with the power of the seal's elements. If the Titan Giants were to suddenly cut off all connections to the other planes, would the Four Elemental Planes be an exception?
In that case, the Titan Giants would lose their support and become water without a source. It was only natural that the Titan Giants would soon collapse. And once the Titan Giants were freed, this world that they were sealed in would naturally collapse as well. This was exactly what I wanted.
Of course, in order to achieve this, just relying on mortals wouldn't be enough. Orloss was nothing more than a scapegoat. As for which powerful individual was behind all this, everyone knew, but no one would say it out loud.
At the very least, back when I was in the Earth Elemental Plane, Orloss had successfully done this once. Of course, Sam didn't know about this, so he wouldn't have thought of this.
"You … you … you're basically a devil!"
From a certain standpoint, Sam had fallen into my trap. This time, he had completely become a traitor to Dragon City. However, I laughed at this.
Did he really think that I didn't know what he was planning? His family was still in the Dragons' territory. It was impossible that he intended to return to the Dragons' territory after receiving his payment and remain neutral. However, it wasn't that easy to get on my ship. You wanted to leave after getting on my ship?
"Devil? Thank you for your praise. "
"Thank you for your praise. Yep, I'm a devil. "
My response had reached a secret agreement with the Devil Lord Camiltias. I felt that it would be nice to be treated as a devil, while he felt that comparing me to a devil was a type of praise for the devils.
Actually, I was becoming more and more optimistic about this Little Camiltias. At the very least, he was decisive enough to know when to make a huge gamble and directly use all of his resources.
The devils weren't two-faced, and I would trust them equally. Now that the situation had developed to this point, it was either a complete victory or a complete defeat. There was no room for hesitation or retreat.
In the end, Sam was still a Dragons. Perhaps he was experienced enough to make certain decisions, but he was far too arrogant and naïve when it came to the bigger picture. He always felt that he would be an exception, that he wouldn't need to pay much in return. He even wanted to avoid participating in this battle.
"Why? Because you're a Dragons? "
I didn't need to say anything hurtful. It was enough that I knew what I was doing. But right now, the White Dragon who had been tricked by us was rather hysterical.
"Titans, Dragons … How do you intend to end this!?"
Old Sam had finally realized how insane we were. This time, we had completely offended the Dragons, and the Titans, who were about to awaken, weren't our friends. His words were both questioning and hesitating.
"End this? Why? They should be the ones begging me to save them. What's the most profitable thing to do at the end of the world? Selling ship tickets! "
The entire world was about to collapse, but there was one place that was still stable … That's right, the Ghostwind Plains where our base was located. Soon, this place would become the core of the new world, as well as the only safe place. Anyone who wanted to take refuge here would need my permission.
As for whether or not I would take this opportunity to extort money from them? Wasn't that for sure!? You wanted to successfully survive this Armageddon? Sure, buy ship tickets from me! I'll pay for everything!
[You created the Armageddon, then charged money to save people. Did the Children of Fate of this generation choose the wrong person? Morality should have been added to the System's evaluation long ago …]
"Ha, I learned from you. At the very least, I wasn't the one who created this mess. Dragon World's collapse was inevitable, and I could even help clean it up myself."
Alright, I finally quieted down. Wasn't the Goddess of Order the one who created this mess herself? She was unable to clean it up, and she even needed me to help clean it up.
Just thinking about how we were able to force the Titans and Dragons to hand over all of their wealth and force them to work for us, I felt that this was already a great deal.
"… Don't be so happy yet. Those guys are coming."
Of course, in order to make a fortune from this battle, we would first need to properly deal with the major problem at hand and chase away the enemies chasing us.
The Dragon World's dimensional plane was collapsing, causing it to lose contact with other planes. As time passed, it would only become more and more difficult to contact Dragon World from the mortal plane. However, the dimensional plane's collapse also meant that it would be much easier for certain existences to send us something disgusting.
"Three of them? Do you recognize them? "
Of course, the Chaos Faction's pursuers were coming together with the Chaos Faction's flames.
Her reaction was within my expectations. I refused to believe that none of the Immemorial Devils were completely loyal to the Chaos Abyss. As long as a few traitors gave us the dimensional coordinates, it was only natural that the Chaos Abyss would send reinforcements as soon as possible.
Since we had Main God level existences on our side, it was only natural that the Chaos Abyss would send us Main God level Demon Lords and Chaos Evil Gods. Considering that Chaos Evil Gods would usually have their own Divine Kingdoms, and Demon Lords' demon summoning abilities would allow them to summon demon armies at will. Even if only one of them came, they would still have to face a war-level threat.
[There are four of them.]
Not far away, a crack appeared in the red sky. Along with the descent of the Holy Voice, an old acquaintance of ours appeared. Behind the entire angel army was an orange-red God of Light. The Order Faction's pursuers also arrived at the same time.
The God of Holy Light's figure of light was hazy. However, I could instinctively sense that he was looking at me and wanted to tear me apart.
"The God of Holy Light … is only an incarnation?"
I was first surprised and delighted, but then I felt rather disappointed.
[Even if he's only an incarnation, he'll still be able to wield incredible power in this world where dimensional restrictions have already collapsed. His current power level is still at Main God level.]
Alright then, let me first exclaim that the God of Holy Light's accumulations were far too ridiculous. I never expected that I would be able to fight against him so soon. This really made me … happy!
"It's a pity that he's only an incarnation …"
I lowered my head and retracted my angry gaze. I instantly relaxed my clenched fists, allowing my hatred to return to the bottom of my heart.
"I'll leave my incarnation here."
Although I still couldn't truly take revenge for the God of Holy Light, I would at least have a chance to collect some interest. The stronger an incarnation was, the more power it would consume. If such a powerful incarnation died, I would be able to directly use up all the divine power that the God of Holy Light had accumulated over the years. This was a rare opportunity.
Meanwhile, the old devil also determined who my opponent was based on the familiar characteristics of my opponent's power. That was because even though the Chaos Faction had more Main Gods than the Order Faction, there were only fourteen of them. If the devils weren't included, there wouldn't be that many candidates.
"Demon Marquis Ladvioka from the ninth to thirteenth levels of the Chaos Abyss. Demons' true names are all quite long. This is already an abbreviation and a transliteration. Ladvioka isn't very famous in the mortal plane. Perhaps' Lord of Putrefaction 'will make it easier for people to remember him."
In the area where the meteor landed, a putrefaction mist was spreading. The foul smell caused the air to become highly toxic, and a tall figure was slowly standing up in the middle of the toxic mist.
"Never heard of him."
A powerful Demon Lord should be quite famous in the mortal plane, but the strange thing was that I had never heard of this Lord's achievements before.
"This guy is quite low-key. He doesn't have any believers in the mortal plane, but there are at least thirty different types of plague viruses in the mortal plane that were created by him. He's quite secretive about harvesting souls, to the point of treating it like an art … You should understand if I say it more directly. He's an Immemorial Demon from the same generation as us. I've fought against him many times, and although I've won quite a few times, I've never been able to kill him. "
Someone who had fought against the leader of the Nine Devil Lords so many times and survived? This unknown guy would definitely be super difficult to deal with.
Meanwhile, a gigantic warrior was standing on the other side of the meteor. He wore heavy armor that didn't have any decorations or patterns on it. Even his mask that covered his entire face was a plain white board. However, nobody would dare to underestimate him. He wielded a heavy two-handed sword made of obsidian, and the cracks on his sword still had the golden blood of a God seeping through them.
Just standing there silently gave off a limitless aura of might, as if he were a towering giant. But the next moment, he seemed like a lifeless stone statue, which made it natural for others to ignore his existence.
"The eternal Demon War God, Chaos Evil God Donatis, the Demon Lord of the 451st level of the Chaos Abyss. I'm sure you'll recognize him."
Of course I knew about this Chaos Evil God. Many thieves, bandits, and bloodthirsty warriors worshiped Donatis. Of the few Gods that demons would consider respecting, Donatis was ranked at the very top of the list. And in every Holy War, Donatis would always be the vanguard of the vanguards. Yet, he was still able to survive until now, which was sufficient evidence of his power level.
Chaos Evil Gods had similarities as well as differences from the Order Gods. Chaos Evil Gods were also capable of absorbing the power of faith to strengthen themselves. However, since they weren't bound by the natural laws and Divine Concepts, they could also strengthen themselves through actual combat and training just like demons. Unless you were a noob that relied on the power of faith to reach the top, any Chaos Evil God of the same power level would be twice as troublesome. Not only would you have to face a Chaos Evil God that was a part of a God, but you would also have to face their individual power level.
Their Divine Kingdoms were usually located in the bottomless Chaos Abyss. Since they were neighbors with demons, they would always have to be on guard against friendly neighbors that always wanted to "visit" them. Donatis only occupied one level as his Divine Kingdom, yet no one had ever "visited" him for thousands of years. This was more than enough to prove how frightening he was.
It could be said that when considering his combat achievements and power level, Donatis was the opponent that I wanted to avoid the most.
"Why is this person here? Are all of you so unpopular? "
"He's a loyal hound of Chaos. What's so strange about him being the first to come?"
Alright then, when I looked at the final Chaos Evil God, whose face was exactly the same even after transforming, I felt my head hurt even more. Donatis was actually cooking fish soup in the middle of the battlefield! That huge fish that was constantly struggling in the pot seemed rather familiar. There was even an incredibly ugly human face on it. I felt like I had seen this face in a book before …
"I don't think I need to introduce the final Chaos Evil God. He's currently the most popular newcomer in all of history, the person who became a Main God the fastest. He's your younger brother, Abyss Prince Cavendish."
"Combat achievements? Power characteristics? "
"Nope. He's fought far too few times. Anyone who's seen him before has already died. If I'm not mistaken, the fish in his pot should be the Lord of the 76th level of the Chaos Abyss, the Blackblade Fish Emperor Antonlostan. He's capable of transforming his body into a sea of black mist that's immune to both physical and magical attacks. He's quite difficult to deal with."
Donatis seemed to notice that we were looking at him as he happily waved at me in greeting.
"Roland, if you're still alive after this fight, I'll treat you to some fish soup."
Yep, just as I thought. Donatis was always like this. Others might think that he was joking, but he was actually quite serious. If we were still alive after this fight, he really would treat me to some fish soup. And the other meaning of this was that he would definitely seriously attempt to kill me.
"This is definitely the fault of Chaos invading my brain. The other half of my soul can't possibly be so retarded!"
