Chapter 1349 The Problem Of Jerks
After crushing the other participants, they focused entirely over here. And so, the enemy opened more portals and sent more forces here.
If so… Then the entire situation wasn't just as I expected! The worlds which got cut off from reaching here didn't send a single soldier to the nine zones.
And that meant by the time I'd invade their worlds, they got endless reinforcements to send and entrap me there.
What a plan! By shifting their focus over the other ninety-nine participants and wiping them off the board from the start, the enemy now had only me to deal with.
And in return for that, I got zero chance in getting my hands over any reinforcement from these special figures.
What a twist! Hopefully that bad scenario wasn't going to happen here. Or else…
"Tsk! Even when I finally got capable people to use, I ended up fighting all alone once again…"
I placed much hope on befriending these folks. After all, they weren't just nobody or simply people with talents from their races.
They were the top elites in their races, ones who got crucified and tested by the fire of apocalypse for over at least ninety quests and finally managed to not only survive, but be considered leaders of their people out there.
I wanted to get to know such people better. They wouldn't only prove useful here, but would turn out to be great help to me later on.
Despite our apocalypses lying in far away worlds, we were destined to meet again sometime in the future.
If their apocalypse trials got this close from ending, then mine was as well. After winning the ongoing war with the Hescos, I was sure the apocalypse would come to an end.

By then, I'd start exploring the vast and endless universe. Having such number of friends coming from different races and got the chance to be specially treated at their races was something great.
However all of this seemed to go for naught if my worst hypothesis became true.
"Tsk! It seems no one came here and was quite ready as I," I shook my head in disappointment. Even if they had to face the same pressure like my forces here, why wouldn't they show their true worth of being called the top elites of their races?
They were much stronger than either me or my entire forces here. Were gaining more stats not enough to give them more security or what?
And weren't they supposed to be the top elites of their races at the apocalypse? Why would they be like paper? Not enduring these weak locusts?
I couldn't tell the answer to that question until I became sure of the end result. If they ended up being killed or forced to fortify, then that'd explain how endless sovereign candidates came here and failed.
It seemed to such people, coming here was like a trip and not a real challenge in their eyes.
I didn't know if getting rid of such careless and uninterested dudes was better or having such capable talents on my side and befriending them was.
I sighed while jumping over to the outer layer of one of the nine zones.
I randomly selected that zone, and as the other eight, this one was swarmed by endless locusts.
No matter how many times I tried to wipe these locusts out using my shields' attacks, they always came in and filled the gaps like nothing ever happened.
This time I didn't even think about using a single warrior to fill in the outer shields or something. If I did that, I'd end up blowing all the portals here, cutting the enemy off and blocking my path to their worlds.
Before I came here, I left instructions for Lily and others. On my chariot, ten generals stood in silence, including Sara and Legend.
These two stuck around when they learnt about my intentions of bringing ten generals with me. They taught other two generals how to make arrays and how to instruct others to do so.
By their words, it wasn't important if the two were leading the training camps or other generals as long as the mission was done smoothly.
I didn't agree before I examined and tested the new generals and found them capable. It went without saying how high the calibre of the generals Lily selected for this campaign.
In addition to these two, I also brought up Alex, Isabella, and Isac, in addition to other normal generals from my army.
Isac didn't have any tasks to do anymore. The building process of the entire zones got smoothly done.
And so I decided to bring her over. After all, I might need to construct something out there or fortify the destroyed defences from the ongoing wars.
Even if the races out there didn't live inside fortified towns and cities, I'd let her lead warriors and build fortresses from scratch.
As for the other girls, they didn't have too much to do here. Their zones were cleared, and it was just logical to bring them with me.
Of course that brought me a headache from two jerks.
The small jerk, the spearhead, kept shouting and yelling, desperately trying to come with me. Even if his zone was still occupied by the locusts, he dared to ask me to send another general to lead his zone while he'd tag along.
Of course I'd not do that! Even if he had such a heaven defying ability to decrease the stats of my enemies, he had a much important task here.
If the enemy decided to move out everything they had when I started invading them, then his presence here would be of great importance.
I needed him to lead the general forces here and support them by lowering the enemy strength. And so no matter how desperately he pleaded, or how important he was to my upcoming invasion, I didn't bring him with me.
As for the second jerk, the jumper, he tried many times to tag along. And he didn't just use words like the spearhead did.
He went to another level!
Chapter 1350 The Big Jerk!
"You..." Just when I arrived at the outer layer of this zone, and was inspecting the area around out of habit, I spotted something flashing in the distance.
It was something that couldn't be part of locusts filling the world here. I used my Hawk Eye skill at once, to end up seeing a big flying thing in the air.
It was one chariot that I knew, one of the ones I gave to my generals before.
I didn't need to consider who came all the way here and waited in the far distance like a sneaky thief.
It was the jumper! That jerk did something even I didn't expect!
He led his chariot all the way to here, and thought I'd not notice him. What did he expect? To slip through the portal I'd pass through without me noticing his presence or what?
Was he this desperate?
For a moment there, I felt sympathy towards him. He was indeed a poor man, or a lady. That damn god played his cards too well without doubt.
"Wait! Don't go!" and the moment I intended to turn my chariot around and leave this world through a portal back to the central region, that jerk shouted from far in such a desperate tone.
"Sorry pal, but there are a few things you don't know about your god and can't tell you about them for now," I shouted back before opening a portal and vanishing through it.
And from behind, I heard tons of curses and shouts, ones that made my heart feel heavier.
That dude was supposed to be a great figure in the apocalypse thanks to his heaven defying ability. But somehow, he ended up getting played with such a twisted minded god.
If he got another god, or even if he didn't get any god at all, then he'd have not ended in such a pathetic way.

If not for me, he'd keep jumping over in between apocalypses, living a life of hell instead of acting like a king.
Tsk! It wasn't just about obtaining heaven defying abilities, but how to properly use these.
I returned back to the central zone of that world before jumping back to ground zero. Lily was still there, leading the entire operation out.
I briefed her about what happened, warned her of what that jerk might do out of desperation.
At the same time, I told her to be lenient with him. I already hammered him too hard, and it wouldn't end up good if she did the same.
After dealing with this little hiccup, I randomly selected another zone and jumped at its outer layer.
And this time I made quite sure there were no hidden uninvited guests here before finally moving my chariot towards the thick layers of enemies.
During all this, not a single general of mine issued a sound. They watched me spot the jumper and decisively jump away from that zone without any speck of hesitation.
I acted decisively, and that was what burdens the true leader should shoulder.
"Get ready," I said to them, "we are going to a totally hostile world."
I didn't intend to waste any time fighting the locusts or Silences here. My plan was simple, to use my chariot and its shield as a wrecking ball, smashing all the enemies standing in front of the portal I randomly selected, before flashing through that portal.
However I totally missed one thing in my simple plan!
pAn,Da n<0,>v,e1 The moment I got closer from the portal, all the enemies around got stirred up. The locusts tried to get to my chariot, even jumping, climbing each other, and forming huge hands made out of their bodies.
They tried to hit my chariot and jump in, yet their effort was blocked by my chariot's shield.
No matter how many came and hit my chariot, they all bounced back over the shield, falling like big rain drops over the ground.
The failure of the first waves of them didn't stop others from coming at me, especially when my chariot got closer to the ground, trying to get through the portal that lay up front.
The portal was like a big stone gate, with a thin film of soap like layer which emitted endless locusts by each second.
It was so broad to cover up a mile in length, but only reached the height of fifty metres only. That made me lower my chariot to almost touch the ground, trying to get through it directly without any problem.
That made it much easier for the locusts to try their best against my chariot, and even the Silences standing on watch and guard started to act.
They were the ones who had brutal strength, yet that strength didn't matter against my chariot's shield.
My shield here was made entirely out of energy. So facing the energy based attacks of these Silence elites meant nothing to my shield.
In return, the Silences got to be thrown away by the fierce impact with the shield.
And then a fierce impact assaulted my chariot, violently stopping it in track, before sending it flying backward.
When my chariot stopped spinning, I recalled what happened and was surprised to see a thick layer of shield protecting this portal.
Was this a coincidence? Or did they activate a protective shield here?
"I'll try again," I decided to randomly select a far away portal before doing the same. And yet the same result happened.
A fierce looking shield that was made entirely out of blazing red energy enveloped the entire portal, protecting it from me.
Damn! I thought about everything and never thought the enemy would protect all of their portals like this!
But even if they did that, they wouldn't dream about stopping me here!
Shields? Humph! I was the killer of such things!
But what made me quite puzzled was these shields. If they had such a way to protect the portals in front of my shields' strong skills, why didn't they use it before?
This was something quite puzzling, and yet I got such a sturdy looking shield to crack.
Chapter 1351 A Weird Situation
I got just the right shield cracking troops on my side to do such a task.
"Don't hold anything back," I released all the fallen gods I had, "destroy this shield at once!"
During all this time, I didn't use any of my fallen gods or any big warriors at all. I kept them hidden for the same situation I was dealing with right now.
The only possible answer for the enemies to not use shields before now was that they never thought I'd have the ability to crash their portals at all!
And so, they acted in response to my sudden ability and found the right way to counter it.
If I used all of my big cards from the beginning, then things would end up quite bad for me. The enemy would have enough time to think and consider how to counter each weapon I got, ending up with me having nothing to crush them or make a change to the entire situation just like now.
The moment my big boys appeared, they instantly started their deadly attack. The deadly waves of their ultimate attacks got combined and slammed fiercely over the red shield of the enemy.
As a result, the shield protecting the portal got a massive hit, flickered and showed many cracks on the surface.
Yet to my disappointment, these cracks weren't that deep enough to smash the entire shield at once.
"Tsk, they surely found something quite troublesome this time," I thought about using my glaive, or even return to the empty shields around and fill them with warriors before activating the deadly offence once more.
Yet for a reason, I didn't feel like doing this anymore. If the enemy decided to use shields to secure the portals, then they were quite confident in their shields' ability to counter my deadly strike.
Not to mention if my attack got the upper hand, then the portals would get destroyed, the same way it happened before.
SUBLINEのIVR[公式]個人事業主や医療関係,飲食店の方にピッタリ!株式会社インターパーク
And as such, I'd lose my path to the enemy home base lands. And that wasn't a result I'd like to have.
So I waited, patiently watching the cracks caused by the ultimate attacks get slightly repaired before more cracks appeared when more attacks landed.
This kept going on for half an hour before the entire shield got broken down. The moment that happened, I didn't hesitate to move at once and
*Boom!*
Yet out of nowhere, and just as my chariot was half breadth away from the portal, a shield appeared out of nowhere, pushing my chariot far away again.
"Damn!" I cursed when that happened. I looked and a new shield appeared, enveloping the portal like it was on blazing fire.
It was the first time to experience such a situation. The shield got broken after half an hour, and almost instantly a new shield got formed like nothing happened at all.
I looked around, and for a reason I felt like the enemy had the ability to either endlessly regenerate the shields I'd destroy or move the shields from other portals to here.
Either way, I had a very hard to solve problem here.
"Tsk! There was a little lag between the destruction of that shield and the formation of the new one... If I timed things right, then I'd manage to bypass such blockage."
I muttered to myself while letting my fallen gods replicate the same attack again. However my thoughts proved how naive I was!
The next time I tried, the shield got regenerated almost instantly, not giving me any room to do anything at all!
Damn!
"Fine! You want to play dirty then! And I'll accompany you!" I shouted in defiance and rage. I knew the enemy was trying to prevent me from reaching their lands at any cost.
And that wasn't just out of fear from me, but also to buy themselves time to build enough fortifications out there and be more prepared to face me.
The earlier I went there the better! As such, I didn't hold back my hand anymore.
If they thought such a tactic would stop me, then they'd better rethink thrice again.
I went back to the empty shielded layers at the border and started filling them with warriors. Like before, the locusts came as a tsunami, submerging my shields in a matter of minutes.
I knew my shields needed time to charge up. And so I didn't stand there and returned to the frontline again.
I kept smashing shields one after another. If they regenerated from a source of energy, I planned to partially deplete it to some extent before releasing my grand massive attack.
And if they moved shields from other portals to here, then what I was doing right now would help a little in decreasing the number of shields available for them to use.
As for the risk of destroying the portals alongside the attack coming up from my shields, then I got a way to solve this out.
I waited for a few days before I finally released the deadly attack of my shields.
And at the same time, I moved my chariot fast and pushed hard against the portal.
The chariot got thrown away once more, but I didn't flinch or stop. I kept coming at the portal, even when the deadly attack of mine arrived and blinded everything around.
I only felt my chariot flying around one time after another, before opening a portal, passing through it, and ending up crashing against that portal again.
I was dead serious about getting through this portal no matter what!
After almost three minutes of constantly crashing against a study shield, I finally passed through without getting stopped.
In the middle of passing, I felt like something crashed all of sudden at my shield. I felt my chariot tremble, and the sight around started to turn all red all of sudden.
That shield of the enemy was trying to push itself through my chariot's shield. And at this moment, I felt like my chariot was getting much slower than usual.
Chapter 1352 Getting Into The Enemy Home Base!
Yet I never thought to lower the speed of my chariot or stop it. I finally managed to bypass that damn shield, and nothing would stand against me to get into that portal.
"Thundering Might!" and at this critical moment, I took out my pillar and released my shield.
If it was a battle between shields, then I'd use another shield to help as well.
But just using one shield wasn't enough! As I summoned my pillar's shield, the shield started to expand and clash with the enemy's red shield.
The two shields entered into a fierce battle while mine managed to push the enemy's for a few metres away before thick cracks started to appear next.
I refrained from using the brutal offensive strike of my shield, or else I'd risk damaging the entire portal itself. And that would be bad.
And so I simply supported that shield with others. And just as the shields stabilised after a few long minutes of struggle, my chariot resumed its march again without much resistance.
The chariot could only move inside the area secured by my shields, and that meant it could travel for a few metres each second. As the chariot moved, I also moved, and my pillar's shields also moved as well.
This created more pressure over my shields, and thus far I never stopped creating more shields. With each passing second, I could hear the cracking sounds of shields getting crushed under the brutal might of the enemy's.
This kept going on like this for an entire hour! A distance that was supposed to be crossed in a minute or so was crossed in one hour! That was pretty much insane.
Yet the moment my chariot finally broke through the limitation of that fierce shield, I finally was able to feel the chariot flying at its normal speed.
30+ Freaking Awesome GadgetsTrending Boom
And the next instant, my suppressed shields got all free, expanding fiercely to cover an area of hundreds of metres.
I knew if not for the limitations of the portal itself, my shields would expand to cover up a huge distance.
"Get ready, we are going to an enemy territory," and once my chariot became freed, I shouted while not stopping summoning more shields for even one second.
The enemy proved to use something able to threaten my shields and limit their actions. That meant they would have other hidden weapons ready for me at the other side of this portal.
It was better to be safe than sorry. And I didn't count on creating more shields after arriving there. If the portal itself didn't limit me from summoning more shields, then why wouldn't I use this little time of rest to prepare further for what was coming ahead?
The trip didn't last more than five minutes. And during which I created hundreds or more of my shields.
Then the world turned all bright all of sudden, and I could hear a loud ruckus without being able to see anything.
Loud bangs were heard, and fierce explosions erupted, adding more brightness to the world around.
"Fine! You are impatient to let me have a look at least... Tsk!"
As it became impossible to see amidst all these fierce explosions, I instantly dropped the idea of scouting the world I arrived at.
The enemy came quite prepared for my arrival as I expected. And my shields proved to be useful to stop their trap.
But the next moment, I released all the stored energy inside my shields. The energy stored from the attacks from that fierce shield earlier was released alongside the newly stacked attacks coming from the outside.
At the same time, I summoned tons of bones and started absorbing their energy and gushing them into the shields to augment the attack even further.
If the enemy used the same shield technology to protect their forces then this kind of attack wasn't going to be enough to crush them.
I wasn't just able to release the stored up energy inside the shields, but also was able to add my own power to the pillar and thus to the shields as well.
Much more blinding light appeared, making me unable to keep my eyes open anymore. I wanted to get a glimpse first over how this world looked like and what they prepared for me here.
But as they started attacking the instant I appeared here, it forced me to use my attack fast as well.
-n0ve1,com I didn't know if my shields expanded to their normal size or not. But at such moments, I had to act more decisive.
The bones I took out weren't enough to make me feel the pressure of the absorbed energy. Something told me this kind of attack wasn't going to work against the enemy.
So I felt the need to use more bones. However the moment I released bones outside my chariot, I felt like many of these bones vanished without a trace when they left the chariot.
I acted fast and absorbed the remaining bones with my energy. But in the little gap between releasing my bones and starting to absorb them, I felt like I lost more than half of my bones.
It was weird. But as I couldn't see anything around, I decided to work with the bones I got. Until I'd clear the entire hostile forces around and clear the world from such blinding explosions, I'd not be able to see what exactly caused such a bizarre phenomenon.
*Boom!*
And just in the middle of all this, something out of my expectations happened!
My shields were strong and sturdy enough to sustain all the incoming attacks. They worked to stop any incoming enemy from trespassing through them and reaching inside.
As for those inside the shield, those entrapped enemies got nothing to do against my chariot's shield. However at this moment, a weird sound erupted as something clashed against my chariot, something big, and it wasn't some sort of attack.
"Hye! I know you are inside your chariot and can hear me! Help me out or else I'll f*cking die here!"
Chapter 1353 Poor Dude
And just as I was puzzled and couldn't even open my eyes slightly to see what was going on, a familiar sound shouted in such fright, giving me a fright and a storm of rage!
"You… You dare to come!!!" I gritted my teeth, "good… It seems even with all my will and power, I can't change what's written in the annals of destiny! It's your fate then, and you have to take responsibility for your presence here yourself!"
*Thud!*
Yet just when I was in the middle of my enraged words, I heard a thudding sound as someone landed on my chariot!
"I'm here, so accept this," the jumper's distasteful voice rang in my ears, much louder than any explosive noise from around, "I'm dead serious about saving him! And you do know that!"
"Tsk!"
I knew it was too late to do anything right now to him. That jerk managed to find his way in, and I didn't know how he managed to pull such a feat!
I knew he was going to act crazy about coming here, doing anything in his power to come. But it never crossed my mind that he'd actually succeed!
I jumped to another zone, and got into a brutal fight against those shields around the portal. Don't tell me he found me during the delay I suffered from that fight, and even managed to slip through the portal I passed through?
I wanted to ask him how he arrived here, but it didn't matter much. He already fell in the deadly trap of his cursed god!
I did all this for his sake, and yet that god eventually emerged victorious! For a moment there, I felt deep regret to not show the true colours of that damn god to him.
But the next moment I knew even if he knew, it wouldn't make much difference. This mad dude was driven insane by his desire to meet that man of his.
Japan: Here Are 30+ of the Coolest Gifts for 2022Trending Boom
Even if the intel of the location of that man came from his sworn enemy, that jerk would still fall into the trap.
Tsk! From the start, that god had the absolute advantage and knew he'd win!
And now the jumper was already here. What should I do about that?
"Welcome on board then," this was the only thing I could do, "but to your knowledge this is a suicidal mission. I can't guarantee your safety, nor can I promise you to help save your man."
"I know," I could hear his voice not too far from me, "all I want is to help me scout this world and worlds beyond. Leave the rest to me."
It was one of the rare moments when he showed such resolve and determination. I couldn't tell if he was faking it, or he really meant to throw away his life to save a man who was rumoured to be kept in one of the ten worlds.
And the most frustrating thing about that was my feelings towards him. I felt a great deal of sympathy towards such a pathetic dude.
His life was cursed, and he still lived through the ups and downs of this curse without even realising what he was suffering from!
What a real poor dude!
"Stay here until I'd deal with these enemies first, then we'll talk," I decided to tell him everything about his damn god.
Even if he fell into such a trap, I wouldn't let him fall in such a place. He was one of the earliest friends I got. Being a jerk or a bad luck magnet, he was still my friend.
I didn't say anything about my real intentions to help him, letting him endure such pressure all alone for now.
He dared to take such a step, and he had to suffer a little to know the price of going against my words. Even if I went against his will, I was doing this for his own good.
After closing the page of his sudden arrival, I returned to focus more on the enemy. Fueled by such rage, I started to summon more bones around.
Even if half were gone, I still had the chance to use the other half for my benefit. Gradually the amount of energy accumulated in my body started to get to a scary point, a point I was quite familiar with.
And when I felt that excruciating pain, I knew I was going to crush all the enemies here without exception.
The more I kept releasing my attacks, the weaker the enemy explosions became. At the same time, I felt like the number of the attacking enemies decreased at a rapid pace.
In less than one more hour, the enemy stopped attacking at all. And so I stopped taking more bones out.
However the amount of energy I accumulated was too much to abruptly sever my connection with the pillar right now. So I kept releasing such an attack for three more hours until the entire absorbed bone energy inside me got depleted.
With that, the world turned from such a blinding state into one that I could clearly see.
And what I saw made me wonder if I was seeing things right or what!
"What the heck is this?"
"Where are we?"
"Didn't we arrive at the home base of the enemy?"
All of these questions appeared from my people around. They were quite puzzled, just like myself. And I didn't have any satisfying answer to any of these.
Once the blinding light vanished, the entire world around appeared in my eyes. I looked around, trying to get the head and tail of what was surrounding me.
I expected to see a devastative state of the world around, lands filled with deep holes and rising thick tongues of smoke.
I expected destroyed forts, dead bodies scattered everywhere, and even explosions still hanging out at different places away from here.
However none of this was present around. In truth, the world around me was just filled with dense layers of clouds, and nothing more!
Clouds! Thick orange coloured clouds that were miles away from the chariot, with an emptied area of nothing between me and these clouds.
Chapter 1354 Weird Clouds
Once the light faded away, the thick layers of clouds were the only thing I could see.
The clouds were so thick and dense, not allowing me to see anything through. However, from the fierce bellows of wind coming from the world around me, and the heavy silence that prevailed here, I could tell I appeared no on land but in the middle of the sky.
And that was totally unexpected for me, for anyone on my side.
How come the portal opened at such a place? That was a question that I didn't have an answer to.
Perhaps they had total control over the direction of the portals, being able to change the place they opened at, even making them open in the middle of the sky like this situation.
But if that was true, then how come I landed in the middle of a great number of enemies? How come I felt like I was getting pressured by the enemy, and getting hammered fiercely with their defences?
Something felt weird here. But that also explained why I lost track of almost half of my bones each time I took a batch out.
They were taken out in the middle of the air, and that made more than half of them fall to the ground, away from my reach.
Quite an unexpected move from them! But why did I feel that my enemy this time was different than what I initially expected?
Neither the Silence race nor the locusts got the ability to fly. If they used methods to fly in the air, then that meant they couldn't wide spread use such methods, right?
If so, then why did I have the feeling that this wasn't just a random place selected for me to arrive at and I appeared in the middle of an aerial base? And a fierce one as well?
That was quite weird!
And there was another weird thing here… These clouds… They weren't a normal layer of cloud at all!
My shield count here was simply too many to count, and yet they just expanded to cover up an area of a few miles only.
It was supposed for my shields in such gathering and count to push for lots of miles, at least tens of miles.
But reality proved otherwise. The shields seemed to clash against these clouds.
The more I looked, the surer I became.
"Let's go," standing idle in place wasn't going to help at all. I needed to see what was going to happen with this entire world.
I didn't move my chariot towards the ground first, but towards this weird looking cloud layer. After all, I got surrounded with clouds from all directions, and I couldn't tell where the ground lay.
By common sense, I should head down. Yet in the middle of all this, I couldn't give any clue about the right direction.
The moment I started moving, I felt like the clouds got stirred in response.
I didn't like any of this. I felt like I was inside the belly of a colossal beast, and these clouds were its acidic secretion.
"What's wrong with these clouds?" The moment I got close, everyone around noticed what was going on.
It became clear that the clouds were moving with my chariot's movement, seemingly converging and getting thicker at the direction I was heading towards.
"We are going to see what these clouds are soon enough," I said in response to Isac's words.
And the next instant, I gave the order to my fallen gods to start their attack.
The attack came fiercely as they passed fast through my close by shield's outer layer, and then a violent explosion erupted.
The entire cloud layer got stirred up, as thick tongues of lightning appeared. They arched and twisted, ending up facing my fallen gods' combined attack from all directions.
Seeing such a scene drove fear even inside myself. It became clear now that these clouds weren't simple at all.
The clash kept going on for a long time, and I didn't give the order to stop my fallen gods from continuing their brutal attacks.
Instead, I kept pointing in different directions, asking them to keep firing at these without any pause.
The clouds couldn't handle the pressure after half an hour. The lightning kept losing at all fronts, especially when I made sure to distribute my fallen gods' attacks over a wide area around.
The lightning tried its best, but it proved futile to try and block all the attacks. When they failed, my boys' fierce attacks finally passed through, and started to hit what looked like fragile eggs.
The clouds started to burst open like they got smashed against something they had no power to resist against.
And by then, the scene outside became clearer to me.
"Damn these friends… They also joined in! This is crazy!"
What I saw was the world beyond the thick layers of clouds. It was still the sky, but there wasn't just air outside. I saw tons of flying creatures, holding different types of weapons, and wearing long helmets that covered up their faces.
But they got three horns coming out from both sides of their heads, and one from the middle of their foreheads.
They looked quite ferocious, giving me the impression of being quite the trouble.
Seeing them made me realise the enemy decided to throw in everything they got!
By the appearance of those flying fierce looking giants, I knew the enemy used all the three races under their leadership here.
The Silences, the locusts, and finally those flying fiends. Only the two natural disasters remained.
And that made me feel quite the urgency here. The enemies weren't taking things quite smoothly as they should be.
For a reason, they developed such a fear towards me, one that drove them insane.
They were using everything at their disposal, and that meant if I pushed them much further, they might activate the two natural disasters much earlier than I thought.
What a bunch of pussies they were! Didn't they have a backbone or balls or what?
Chapter 1355 Merging Souls
Why did they jump over their usual tactics and decided to throw everything in one big gamble like that? Was I this much scary or was there something that I didn't know of?
My head kept spinning around the reasons behind such rash decisions from the enemy. Yet I got no much intel to reach any conclusion.
And at the same time, I never stopped my fallen gods from attacking.
I didn't hold back my hand either! If they brought up their top elites, using what was supposed to be a totally unfavourable situation to me, fighting battles in midair, then I felt responsible to correct such mistakes.
I got tons of aerial forces. Starting with my flying legendary Hescos, my flying seven stars race, and even my flying monsters.
I even got many flying jets and suits that could be worn by my warriors and would enable them to fly and fight like real Hescos.
But I didn't consider using any of that. Instead I thought about doing something I haven't done for a long time; using my class abilities and making a ferocious mix between two races!
I got totally busy lately, and didn't have the mind nor the ability to make such a move.
But seeing such a grand gathering around, one that kept revealed with more clouds getting crushed, I knew that using normal dragons wasn't going to work.
As for using other races I got, I felt like it would be an overkill! Not to mention this wasn't the last battle to decide everything in this quest.
If I used any of these races here, the enemy would have enough time to properly assess them and adapt.
And I didn't want to see such a thing happening at all!

Just seeing this kind of situation the enemy brought me to made me more wary about revealing more of my strength to them.
I shouldn't rush to use any of my killer moves until the right moment, until the last epic battle that'd decide everything.
And so I was left with one choice, to use my class and crazy soul count to summon dragons.
Before coming here, my soul count was in tens of billions. But after fighting and killing for almost ten months, the number of souls grew exponentially and reached a much more terrifying figure.
Right now the total count was over one hundred billion, and was getting closer to reaching the two hundred billion mark.
It was enough for me to summon a terrifying army of my dragons. However when I thought about the ferocious looking flying fiends outside, I knew this wasn't going to work.
I shouldn't underestimate the big boss of this place. Putting their individual strengths and stats aside, the gears they all wore looked strong and unique.
If I wanted to crush them without revealing any of my hidden cards, then I should go all out! And so I decided to use something I didn't use for such a long time! Merging souls together and form up a new breed of ultimatum race!
And the two souls I selected were the flying legendary Hescos souls and the dragons! Mixing the two together would yield something quite ferocious without doubt!
I even considered adding the souls of the fallen gods. Thinking more about it made me decide to add these in the mix.
All in all, I decided to go all out here and show these fiends what true might look like!
Using the soul merge phase I was done simply by selecting bloodlines and merging them together to form new species.
I used to deselect all the bloodlines I got, and I got a scary long list of them right now, to only the ones I needed to form.
To summon fallen gods, I had to deselect all and bloodlines and just select the fallen gods bloodline. If I wanted dragons, then I'd select only dragon bloodline.
I didn't have the time or mind to try out new stuff except for now. As for the bloodlines I selected, the legendary flying Hescos, the dragons, and the fallen gods, they were quite berserk and strong in their own terms.
Two of these had wings, while the third could fly using their explosive energy. As for merging them together and not with anything else, it was to make new stronger species, one that wasn't known in any universe yet.
My only concern lies in the possibility of increasing the initial price for such an attempt from five thousand soul points per monster to a much higher price.
After all, I was using two other types where they used to cost me much more than usual stuff. The fallen gods consumed fifty thousand soul points to get one summoned without any issue, and the flying Hescos would cost me around five hundred thousand souls if I wanted the flying Hescos specifically.
I didn't know how the system would calculate these, but I decided to give it a try.
[You selected to merge the Flying Hescos, the Dragons, and the Fallen Gods bloodlines together to form a new species]
[Warning: You are using different bloodlines with special strengths together]
[The price of merging these bloodlines together is going to change!]
[Calculating the new cost...]
[The new cost is one hundred thousand souls per one merging process]
[Please note: You can't control the percentage of the merged bloodlines in the final species. But the least percentage any species will get will be ten percent]
[Do you want to proceed?]
One hundred thousand souls? Only this? Damn! It was much cheaper than trying to summon the flying Hescos from the start!
But the last notice made me slightly frown. The fallen gods and flying Hescos were quite overbearing, but the dragons weren't.
Their main advantage lies in having wings, which was something solved by the flying Hescos. I just wanted to use them to increase the odds of having flying species at the end.
[Deselect the dragons] but if that meant I'd have to risk having most of the final bloodline to be formed only of dragons, then I'd not accept such a result.
Chapter 1356 The Avengers I
I was going to pay one hundred thousand souls for this. If I'd end up having dragons and slightly advanced and evolved ones, then it was better to use normal bloodlines with my dragons instead of such precious two gems.
It'd be a waste, a total waste to do that and end up having dragons.
[How many monsters do you want to merge?]
It was a question about how much I wanted to spend. I thought for a brief minute, calculating how much I could spend this time.
And I planned to go all out!
"Spend one hundred billion," I slowly said, spending the most ever since having my class.
[One million monster will be created]
[Do you want to proceed?]
"Proceed!" I was decisive, without any hesitation at all. I'd gain one million new monsters in the end. As for their traits, they would never be worse than the fallen gods or the flying Hescos, right?
[The merge process will take few minutes]
"Take all the time you want, but give me something worthy, got it?" I said out loud, hoping the end result wasn't going to be disappointing.
During these minutes, I moved my eyes towards the outer layer of clouds. The holes my fallen gods created were getting wider by each passing minute, exposing more of the scary army lying in wait outside.
By the time I dealt with the merge process of my souls, I found out that these flying fiends weren't just standing midair and waiting for me to come out.
Weird things appeared out of them, extending outwards and going towards the layer of clouds. I couldn't see everything in detail, but it seemed they got something to do with these clouds.
Japan: Here Are 30+ of the Coolest Gifts for 2022Trending Boom
When I recalled the fierce battle that erupted before, I couldn't help but recall the long and tedious clashes that happened back there.
Don't tell me I was fighting against clouds controlled by them all this time?!
This was the only explanation to what I saw. The things that those fiends got were coming out from the gears surrounding their bodies, as if they were shining and giving energy to the clouds to work the weird way they did.
That reminded me of my technique, something I felt more familiar with.
If so, then these clouds were regeneratable or what? I had this doubt before deciding to wait and decide.
I could send out tons of force through these gaps, except that I still didn't have the right forces to use in such an assault.
So even if these clouds could be regenerated, I'd end up sending my forces through these gaps and kill the fiends lying behind.
I was sure that to get rid of these clouds, I got to get rid of these fiends. I wasn't worried about these clouds doing anything except keeping me trapped here.
They didn't attack me even for once. The thick tongues of lightning that appeared in these clouds were just fighting against the attacks sent at the clouds themselves.
Not a single time a lightning found its way out and hit outside the cloud. And that meant these clouds were designed to keep me imprisoned here.
Was this done to contain my sudden intrusion despite the shields supporting their portals? Did that mean they weren't ready to meet up with me yet?
Thinking about this made me more eager to break free and go to explore this realm.
And amidst all these thoughts, I got to hear the words of the system ranging in my ears like the sweetest melody.
[The merging process is complete!]
[You got five new species with code names from one to five]
[You can explore the species now, or later at your inventory where they are saved]
[New five bloodlines are detected and added to the bloodline list]
[Please grant these species names so they can be stored by these names whenever you got time]
"Show me their details now!" I wasn't going to wait for later to read through their information. I wanted to get to know them right away.
[New species codename One: Seventy percent flying Hescos bloodline + thirty percent fallen gods bloodline.
The new species has the ability to fly using four pairs of wings. Their entire bodies are covered entirely with black and silver feathers, with the ability to absorb any incoming attack, store these inside, before releasing them.
They have Five levels of abilities, each unlocked using stat points.
The first level opened up the ability to absorb any incoming attack by sixty percent.
The second level allows the new species to absorb any incoming attack by seventy-five percent plus storing the energy inside and release twenty percent of the total absorbed energy.
The third level allows the new species to absorb any incoming attack by eighty-five percent plus storing the energy inside and release fifty percent of the total absorbed energy.
The fourth level allows the new species to absorb any incoming attack by one hundred percent plus storing the energy inside and release one hundred percent of the total absorbed energy.
The fifth level allows the new species to absorb any incoming attack by one hundred percent plus storing the energy inside and release a higher level of attack based on the total energy consumed by them.
The amount of stat points needed to activate each level varies according to the general level of these species.
These species follow the same rules of the apocalypse the human Hye is in]
I read such a detailed report about this new species and one word appeared in my mind; scary!
They have the ability to absorb and repel the incoming attacks for the first four levels. And to be honest, such ability wasn't that much of an advantage to me.
But level five was a totally different level than the previous four. This one would allow them to release any attack based on the amount of energy they consumed.
That'd turn them into something similar to the seven stars race I recently acquired. However, that was also quite similar to the ultimate ability of my fallen gods.
Chapter 1357 The Avengers II And III
"I'll call them the Avengers I," this was a suitable name for such a species. I named them I as I felt the other four would be somehow related to these as well.
[Avengers I name is selected]
[You can now find the Avengers I bloodline in your bloodline list]
"Show me the others," I demanded, while expecting more of the other species.
[New species code name Two: Fifty percent flying Hescos bloodline + fifty percent fallen gods bloodline.
The new species has the ability to fly using five pairs of wings. Their entire bodies are covered entirely with red skin that's filled up with tiny needles. They got the ability to control the elements in the universe freely based on their evolution level.
They have Five levels of abilities, each unlocked using stat points.
The first level opened up the ability to control fire elements.
The second level allows the new species to control fire and wind elements.
The third level allows the new species to control fire, wind, and earth elements.
The fourth level allows the new species to control fire, wind, earth, and lightning elements.
The fifth level allows the new species to absorb energy and control any number of elements, merging them together, as long as the element is present inside the energy source used.
The amount of stat points needed to activate each level varies according to the general level of these species.
These species follow the same rules of the apocalypse the human Hye is in]
"At last a force that can control elements! And what about the vague description of the last level?" I felt extremely delighted when I read these lines.
Electrician reveals: 1 simple tip to slash your electricity bill by up to 90%Smart Energy
But the last level, the one I always concentrated on the most, was filled with such riddles to my eyes.
What did that supposed to mean? I knew stat points were considered energy sources like the energy crystals I got before.
What element do my stat crystals produce then? What element would my energy crystals give to these warriors?
And then a wild thought passed through my mind at this moment.
"How about my bones? My bones got grades, will this affect them or what?" I thought about the different grades of bones I got in my inventory.
Beside these, there were the dark realm bones I got recently in large amounts.
Recalling this reminded me of the dead bodies of the fiends I killed during my first intrusion here. Where were they? Damn! Did they fall from such height and get scattered all over the world down below?
I wanted my dark realm bones! I wanted all of them!
[Please specify a name for the new species code name Two]
"Call these the Avengers II," I casually said, "show me the next one."
[New species code name Three: Twenty percent flying Hescos bloodline + eighty percent fallen gods bloodline.
The new species has the ability to fly using two huge engines on the back of their bodies. Their entire bodies are covered with thick layered suits that give them different abilities depending on their ability level.
They have Five levels of abilities, each unlocked using stat points.
The first level opened up the ability to negate any attack that's used without using spiritual energy in it.
The second level allows the new species to form a deadly attack that spans over an area of two miles in length and one hundred metre in width.
The third level allows the new species to form a deadly attack that will spread over ten different zones at the same time, each covering up two miles in radius.
The fourth level allows the new species to form a deadly attack that will form a giant shield around them that will span for one mile in radius, killing everything in the middle, before exploding out loud, releasing all the damage it received either from inside or outside.
The fifth level allows the new species to repeatedly release pulse waves that will entrap the enemies first, pressure them next, and assault them with unstoppable force later on. The magnitude, the reach, the strength, and the duration of this attack depends entirely on the amount of energy absorbed by them.
The amount of stat points needed to activate each level varies according to the general level of these species.
These species follow the same rules of the apocalypse the human Hye is in]
Ahem… Did I ask for mass killers or what? Hahahaha! This race… They were quite formidable and scary!
I looked at the words describing them again before ending up laughing again.
If my fallen gods were considered brutal and killers, then these species were the elites of such a profession.
They were the bosses! The real bosses!
And the greatest thing about them was that they had different abilities that'd stack together! Thinking about the final level of these bosses made me laugh again.
What was OP? That was OP!
[Please specify a name for the new species code name Three]
"Like usual, the Avengers III," I casually said amidst my laughs. But what the system said next made me choke in the middle of my laughs.
[The name: Like usual, the Avengers III is selected…]
"Wait! Don't select that name!" I hurriedly shouted when I was jolted awake from my momentary shock. The system totally got me wrong, making me want to curse it out loud.
What the heck was wrong with such a weird name? Why did it add what I said like it was the name of that race?
[Please specify a new name for the new species codename Three]
"The Avengers III," this time I only said the name I wanted.
[The name: The Avengers III is selected. You can find them in the bloodline list]
"Thank god!" I heaved a sigh of relief. If this didn't work, I didn't know how I should call these folks later on.
Putting this funny and useless accident aside, I asked the system to send me the details of the fourth new species. And it instantly complied as if it didn't just give me a scare moments ago.
Chapter 1358 [Bonus Chapter] The Avengers IV And V
[New species code name Four: Ninety percent flying Hescos bloodline + ten percent fallen gods bloodline.
The new species has the ability to fly using full body suits. They use the power of hidden small engines at their backs and limbs to fly and change direction. Plus the ability to instantly teleport at places they previously visited and stored their location.
They have Five levels of abilities, each unlocked using stat points.
The first level opened up the ability to transform ten percent of their suits into weapons they can hold or throw at their enemies. The detached parts of their suits can be retrieved, or be left to explode before regenerating these using energy.
The second level allows the new species to transform thirty percent of their suits into weapons they can hold or throw at their enemies. The detached parts of their suits can be retrieved, or be left to explode before regenerating these using energy.
The third level allows the new species to transform fifty percent of their suits into weapons they can hold or throw at their enemies. The detached parts of their suits can be retrieved, or be left to explode before regenerating these using energy.
The fourth level allows the new species to transform one hundred percent of their suits into weapons they can hold or throw at their enemies. The detached parts of their suits can be retrieved, or be left to explode before regenerating these using energy.
The fifth level allows the new species to absorb energy and expand their suits into layers. Each layer will act like a separate suit, and can be transformed into weapons. they can hold or throw at their enemies. The detached parts of their suits will be left to explode. The magnitude of such an explosion depends on the amount of energy absorbed per layer. There must be a single layer left at least before stopping the attack.
The amount of stat points needed to activate each level varies according to the general level of these species.

Wow! This one… This one was really quite domineering! At last I got melee type warriors who can work in sync with my soulers!
I looked at the description of this species, before turning to the first one I got. The Avengers I and this species here could work together perfectly well.
One would act as a shield and the latter would work as a sword. As for my soulers, they would move in between these and start the killing spree.
For a moment there I felt little regret that I didn't add up my soulers in such a mix. Or else, I'd have ended up having brutal species much more deadly than my soulers.
"Next time I'll merge the soulers, Reapers, and one of the flying races like dragons…" I considered this, especially when the price of such a merger wouldn't be too much like the one I paid here.
[Please specify a name for the new species code name Four]
"The Avengers IV," I didn't say anything more than the name of this race, so I wouldn't end up in another funny situation again.
This system sometimes made me wonder if it was a retard or what.
[The name: The Avengers IV is selected. You can find them in the bloodline list]
I passed over this race and turned to see the next rows of words about the last new species I got.
[New species codename Five: Twenty-five percent flying Hescos bloodline + seventy-five percent fallen gods bloodline.
The new species has the ability to fly using The aura they release around their bodies. They release auras by burning their energy inside their bodies, resulting in different effects based on their ability level.
They have Five levels of abilities, each unlocked using stat points.
The first level opened up the ability to form a protective aura that spreads over one mile radius around and protects any ally inside.
The second level allows the new species to form an aura that can lower the strength of any enemy inside by fifty percent. The amount of strength reduced is given to the allied forces inside the aura effective area. The aura spans for five miles in radius around.
The third level allows the new species to form an aura around that can lower all the stats of the enemy by seventy percent, adding the absorbed stats equally to the allied forces inside the effective range of this aura. The aura spans for five miles around.
The fourth level allows the new species to form an aura around that can lower all the stats of the enemy by ninety percent, adding the absorbed stats equally to the allied forces inside the effective range of this aura. Plus the aura can help the allied forces in absorbing half of the damage taken, returning half to the enemy as damage and the other half to the allied forces in the form of healing. The aura spans for five miles around.
The fifth level allows the new species to absorb energy and form different layers of auras that have different effects, range, and duration. The layers formed can lower the stats of the enemy inside the effective range by ninety-nine percent, increase the stats of the allied forces by one hundred percent, or more according to the absorbed energy. Other effects include trapping the enemy inside the effective range for at least one minute, prohibit the enemy from using any energy or attack for specific duration that varies according to the absorbed energy, create clones of the allied forces to help them in fighting, putting the enemy forces under illusion spell for specific duration of time, making them fight for them against anyone, and change the entire layout around and terrain to any form they desired.
The amount of energy absorbed can determine the effects of these auras, their duration, and the effective zone they can affect.
The amount of stat points needed to activate each level varies according to the general level of these species.
These species follow the same rules of the apocalypse the human Hye is in]
Chapter 1359 Lucas II
"Phew!" I sucked in a cold air of breath, blinked thrice, before hurriedly summoning one of these berserkers.
This species… They were quite domineering and unbelievable!
"Lord…" the one I summoned wasn't by any means like the ones I had in mind.
This race was considered a control expert race. They could augment and weaken the enemies, support my forces in any fight, and also affect the entire terrain around!
Just the first few effects were enough to make them precious. They acted just how my spearhead did.
Seeing such effects made me heave a sigh of relief. I didn't bring that jerk with me this time, luckily.
By these warriors, I didn't even need the spearhead to do anything for me anymore. I'd simply use these warriors and scatter them around, letting them do what the spearhead could and the best thing was for my ability to support different armies in different locations without any problem at all!
But that wasn't why I hurriedly summoned one out. I wanted to try out that heaven defying terrain change effect and see what effects and limits it had.
Could they change the entire terrain anywhere? Like turning this aerial battlefield into a ground one?
If so, then the entire situation would change. And it wouldn't only be limited to the situation here, but at any other battlefield that didn't suit me or my forces.
For example, if I was forced into an unsuitable battle, like a water -based one, or just like this one, it wouldn't matter. The entire terrain would change and turn into what my forces excelled at the best.
That wouldn't just help me in dealing with the difficult types of terrain, but it would also foil the enemy plans as well.
If the enemy prepared their forces and tactics based on a type of terrain, and that terrain got changed abruptly, then it'd be logical to expect them to be at a great disadvantage when the terrain would change.
Japan: Here Are 30+ of the Coolest Gifts for 2022Trending Boom
That dude was at least six metres in height, with a robust looking body and a fierce look on his face.
He was like the fallen gods, very damn serious looking and emitting an air around that made me wonder if he just came out from a fight or was ready to jump in a one.
His body was enveloped in a white layer of flame, reminding me of the fire that surrounded my Lucas.
The two looked quite similar in the feeling they gave me, yet this dude had a much weaker and smaller area of fire around his body.
Unlike Lucas, the one I couldn't even see his face yet, this one's face wasn't that hard to see.
"Tell me, how many stat points do you need to activate up to the highest fifth layer of your ability? And how much do you need to reach level five?"
I was limited by the apocalypse grade I was currently in. If such a wild dude belonged to one of those in this golden quest, then he'd have a better chance to show off his abilities.
"I'll need five thousand stat points to reach level five, and one hundred thousand to reach rank five of my ability."
"Hmm…" This was within my expectations, despite that the amount of stat points he needed slightly exceeded what he should have, but I didn't dwindle over such issues at all.
"And how about the layers you can release using your fifth ranked ability?" That was what really mattered to me right now.
"I can create many layers with different effects, each with different requirements of energy according to the source of energy lord can bestow on me."
"Bestow? Fine, let's see how this will work with you then…"
I didn't flinch and took out one dark realm bone of silver grade.
I got tons of such bones already, and I planned to use them to feed out my hungry forces I recently got.
"This…" the moment I took it out, I felt like the fire around him reacted fiercely and swayed around him like raging ocean waves.
This went without saying about the effects of my bones over him. So it could be used, and it seemed this single bone was enough to drive him crazy.
"Lord… Can I hold and check it out?" he asked, and I slowly shook my head.
"You first need to raise your stats to the full," I was about to wave my hand and get enough stat crystals to satisfy his needs. But he was faster as he said in such impatience:
"Lord, this one here can do this instead of the stat points."
"For real?"
pAn,Da n<0,>v,e1 "Yes, it can fill up all my needs of the stat points and the extra energy can also add up to be used to form many layers."
"I want to see the effect of changing the terrain aura you have," I directly said why I took him out. I wanted to experience what it felt like to have such an effect, and see if it was going to help me or not.
"This… I don't think I can do it with this only energy source."
"Then how about using these?" If he wanted bones, then I got nothing less than bones inside my inventory right now.
I took out tons of the silver grade dark realm bones without even flinching. He looked in shock at me, feeling like he didn't know the world at all.
"Take whatever you need," I paused before adding, "but tell me how much you took so I can calculate."
"These are enough," as my words jolted him awake, he picked up five bones and stopped. I raised an eyebrow and asked:
"Is that enough? If you want more, you can take more."
"It's more than enough," he paused as he greedily checked the bones he had before adding, "these bones are enough to unlock all the ability layers I got."
"What if I just want you to use this bone to change the terrain only?" I wanted to see what the effect of my bones would have if they were used in such a way.
Chapter 1360 Two Hundred Thousand Each
"Well…" he seemed to be hesitant for a few moments before adding, "they can help me increase the range of my ability by many folds. For example, the basic range will be ten miles in radius at least. But by using these, I can pour the extra energy and increase the range up to fifty miles at least."
"That's good."
"And the duration also can increase by a lot. For example the duration in the normal activation of this ability is ten minutes. But after using these bones, I can transform the terrain for hours."
"Cool!" that's what I wanted to hear, "will this also apply over the other abilities you got?" I had a plan in mind, one that would save me tons of trouble.
I'd not allow the Avengers V to use the energy from the bones in just doing a collection of their abilities. They could do that, but for tactical reasons, it was better to divide them into smaller teams, each would handle the task at any given time.
For example, I'd make a team that would handle the issue of augmenting my forces and weakening the enemies. Another would work to paralyse the enemy in their tracks for as long as possible.
One team would be responsible for helping my forces shield the incoming damage and turn this into added stats to my side, and another would also work to change the terrain.
I got one million forces from these Avengers. However I still didn't know how many exactly I got from each Avenger species.
But I wasn't just planning using this limited number of Avengers I got. I was sure I'd get more souls from this war, from the ongoing wars at home, and from any future wars as well.
Using such endless supply of souls to make these Avengers would be one of my ultimate goals from now on. In addition to the fallen gods, the legendary Hescos, these Avengers would be added as well to my top priority list.
I'd also try out to mix soulers and Reapers with dragons, hopefully they could gain wings and keep their scary abilities as well.
Japan: Here Are 30+ of the Coolest Gifts for 2022Trending Boom
"Show me," I demanded, "I want to see your ability in person."
"Sure, what type of terrain does lord want? Land? Hills? Mountains? Or basins and open spaces? Does the lord want a sea? Or perhaps add more to this aerial place, pushing away all the clouds and making the sky shine brightly again?"
"Wow! You can do anything!"
"With such an ultimate energy source…" he played with the five bones he had, "I can do anything!"
"Then change it to an open landscape," changing it to mountainous or a place filled with hills wasn't going to be ideal. This would backfire at me, allowing the enemy to have places to hide at, or even get a height advantage as well.
"Sure," he didn't hesitate anymore and started to absorb the energy from the five bones he got. What I saw was for his white fire to change and become green, blue, ending up with silver.
He adopted the colour of the bones I gave to him, and that wasn't all. The magnitude of fire he emitted grew exponentially as well, ending up covering up my entire chariot before expanding beyond like an explosion.
This fire started to spread all over the world, reaching a point I couldn't follow.
It didn't just envelop the clouds, and the clouds didn't manage to stop the fire as I feared. The fire expanded and reached a stage where it enveloped the fiends flying beyond and controlling this thick layer of clouds.
This kept going on for less than a minute before the fire suddenly froze. It looked like the entire world was dyed in silver weak light, and the fire stopped even in the shape of forming waves, specks, and wisps.
It was a magical scene, one that didn't last for ten seconds before the entire world started to change.
The frozen silver fire started to swirl and change, adding one layer over another as if this was a dream scene.
I waited and watched the world around change from being filled with air into a world that was formed of ground.
The ground was made out of silver layers of light, looking semi-transparent that one could vaguely see the air underneath.
But that didn't matter anymore. The ground got formed, and the layer of clouds that was showing a fierce resistance before got penetrated by the ground.
The clouds got stirred up as if they met their nemesis. But no matter how fierce the lightning came, they all failed to do anything to the silver ground.
"It's ready, lord," and from the side, the one who started all this said in such a proud tone.
And he got all the right to feel that way.
"Good job," I nodded to him before adding, "from now on, you are going to be the leader of the Avengers V terrain changing team… I'll call you Lucas II."
He reminded me of Lucas to the point of giving him a similar name.
"Thanks lord for your generosity," and when I said these words, he knelt on one knee, reminding me of Lucas' attitude.
As the fire intensified around him, I couldn't see his face anymore. The fire spanned to cover up my entire chariot, but I didn't feel any harm at all.
"Time to see how much I gained from all this," I started to look through my inventory to find tons of Avengers listed there.
It took me a few minutes to decide to ask the system instead.
"How many Avengers did I get?"
"One million as you asked for," and the answer I got reminded me of how retarded the system would act if a system higher up wasn't taking hold of things.
"I mean how many of each Avenger type did I get?" I rolled my eyes, correcting my question to be more specific.
"Two hundred thousand each."
Chapter 1361 Making Plans For Avengers
"This..." So the system just formed an equal number of each Avenger using my soul points. It wasn't that bad, as I'd take this as a start and add more warriors of these to my side.
"Time to start preparing for what's coming," Despite having such an awesome new race, I didn't try to use them first.
Instead, I took out the normal warriors in great quantity, filling the entire ground that my Lucas II created.
Even if my warriors weren't suited to fight the aerial fiends, they'd serve for two good purposes.
First thing and it was the first order I gave to them was to go all out and start attacking this cloud layer entrapping us.
They'd help my fallen gods in accelerating damaging this cloud zone. Especially when the total amount got almost halved by the appearance of the silver ground.
The second thing was something they could only do, turn into fodders.
I didn't want them to just be fodders, but to keep those fiends busy during the initial clash. Doing this task was critical as the enemy wouldn't realise when or what hit them hard later on.
The moment I sent my warriors out, the cloud layer around started to show a few changes.
First I felt like they got thickened or something. The cloud layer seemed to get bonus clouds from the fiends controlling them from behind.
Or perhaps the fiends decided to withdraw or move the cloud layers situated below the ground and add them up to the clouds above the ground.
The reason didn't matter, and the end result was the same. The enemy started to counter what I did, and that was something expected.

I kept taking warriors from those I kept filling their stat points before. After almost ten minutes, I released enough warriors to attack the clouds around me.
Then it was time to take out my new killers, the Avengers!
I took one million batches. The first and foremost important one was the Avengers V.
I arranged them into different teams, five, each had around forty thousand. I gave them my bones and left them to feed on them after explaining what role I expect from them to play.
According to what I learnt from them, the five dark realm bones quota was enough to expand their abilities to great extent.
And after hearing out what they said, I realised that changing the terrain ability was considered the most costly one among their abilities.
The five teams were one dedicated to trap the enemy, to boost my forces, to weaken the enemy stats and strengthen my side, to defend my forces against the incoming attacks, and finally the ones responsible for expanding the ground further.
To be honest, what started as a deadly trap of the enemy turned out to give me such a brilliant idea. It was great to change the layout of the enemy plan by changing the terrain, but it'd be more effective to come at the enemy from the least expected place.
I planned to get out from this entrapment and go towards the ground. However, after seeing how scary my Avengers V ability was, I got the inspiration to keep the battle going on in the air, and keep expanding the ground over the places I wanted to hit.
This meant I didn't need to move down anymore, and instead I'd use the air to my advantage.
Be it aerial fiends or other two races who filled this world, I'd attack them from where they least expected.
Even if the flying friends came at me in great numbers, it wouldn't make any difference at all. I got enough weapons to take down any flying enemy.
But using the high altitude advantage to crush the ground forces was a temptation I couldn't turn a blind eye towards.
After leaving the Avengers V behind, I started to take out the remaining Avengers in teams and give them my dark realm bones to feed on.
As the Avengers V, they could use five bones to show up the deadliest abilities they got.
And I didn't stop there.
I arranged them into further teams, each got formed of fifty thousands of each type of the remaining Avengers.
The Avengers I were used as tanks. They got the brutal ability of my pillar's shields. They could absorb any incoming attack and even rebound it back to the ones causing it.
These Avengers told me they could release a deadly wave of attack that could cover up a great area and kill anyone and anything inside using my dark realm bones.
And the good news was that they could keep the wave coming for one hour, or repeatedly use the attack over fifty times.
The Avengers II would stand in the back and work as magicians. They excelled at using different energies in attacking the enemies.
I got worried before about the type of element they could use through my bones. But they reassured me that the bone energy was pure and filled with an endless amount of death energy.
So they could transform this into any element they wanted, or simply use the death element to kill any of the enemies they'd face.
The death element was one of the most brutal elements in existence, not compared except with light, time, and space.
The Avengers III would be used as the mass killers.
The enemies would be quite busy with the tanks and melee type Avengers of mine, repeatedly Avengers I and IV.
In the middle of this, they'd face great trouble when my Avengers III would step in.
These folks could use AOE type of attacks. And that was something I knew it'd end up bringing more damage to the enemies, especially the preoccupied ones with other Avengers.
The Avengers IV would work as the melee type soldiers in these teams. They had the ability to change their suits into deadly weapons and attack their enemies pretty much hard.
Chapter 1362 What About Us?
Combining the four Avengers together, and adding the help of the Avengers V team of the entrapment ability, the enemies had zero chance to retaliate or even defend themselves.
Getting everything sorted out, I didn't forget the most brutal fact of these Avengers… They all could fly!
They weren't just limited to fighting over the ground here. In fact, I could simply send a single team out and ask them to attack the enemies even if they tried to pull out a distance or retreat far away.
That meant no matter who the enemy planned, the moment they'd come at me would be the end of them no matter how hard they tried to get away.
"We are ready," I looked at my friends and generals at my chariot before casually pointing towards the jumper and added, "go and lead the warriors on the ground. Take these clouds down fast."
"Ok," the jumper seemed to object or say something useless as usual, but in the next moment he refrained from doing so.
After all, he came here without my permission and forced himself over our little party.
And that was why I selected him first to go down there and start working.
"What are we going to do now?" as the jumper moved, Sara was eager and restless to join him.
"You see these flying folks out there?" I pointed towards the direction of the outer world beyond the reach of the clouds. "We are going to fight them."
"And?" Sara was quite impatient, "can't we go out through the gaps and hit them while that masked dude will end his task?"

"Tsk! If you have a death wish then be my guest," I shrugged before adding to explain things to her, "these flying enemies aren't that easy to handle. I don't even have absolute confidence in dealing directly with them."
"Ah… So do you know what we shall do to kill them?" Isac was the one to speak up, stopping Sara from entering a dead argument with me, "shall I build up forts and such?"
"Not now," I knew she mistook this ground as something eternal. But it wasn't! Just the time taken to build forts and walls would be longer than the time this ground could last.
"And not here," I added when I noticed the dim look in her eyes, "when the time is right, you can go down there and start building whatever you wanted."
pAn,Da n<0,>v,e1 I knew that even if I tried to push things over, then trying to cover up the entire world with my silver ground wasn't going to work.
First it'd exhaust tons of bones and in the end I doubted this world could be covered totally in a short time.
It was better to keep such a weapon up my sleeve, and use it when I found a great gathering of the enemy to lessen my losses.
And when I'd shift the battle to ground, I'd need her to start building forts and bases for us. These bases would be used later on for my forces to recuperate, prepare for what yet to come, and act like anchors in the middle of a raging wild ocean.
But such a move wouldn't be used right away. I wanted to first kill as many of these fiends as I could. I also wanted to test recruiting them under my wing using my technique.
And yet something told me such a move was going to fail for unknown reasons. I couldn't help but shift my eyes towards the all shining gears surrounding their bodies and feel like the auras they emitted were enough to stop my threads.
But I had to try out and see if this was going to work or not before jumping over conclusions.
"What about us?" the others asked, and frankly I didn't plan to depend on their help in the upcoming battle.
But when I saw the eager look in their eyes, I couldn't help but inwardly sigh.
"I'll give you part of the warriors here, lead them and crush the enemy outside," I paused before adding, "your chariots are equipped with anti air weapons, right?"
"We bought some," Legend looked at others before adding, "and we got weapons from the research department as well."
"That's great," it'd be bad if they ended up getting their asses kicked by the enemy.
As they got enough weapons, I felt reassured about that.
"The plan of the battle will go as follows…" I thought a little about what they should do before deciding to tell them my thoughts.
In fact their role wasn't that big anyway. The avengers of mine were going to do all the work, and the warriors they'd lead would work as fodders.
That was something I didn't plan to change no matter what. As for their role, they should give instructions to the fodders, making them take the best out of the enemy at first clashes.
The more enemy forces they attracted the better for my forces later on.
I stressed over this point. If they had to play any role, then this one would be enough for me.
But in return for that, I saw the disappointment over their faces, even Isac and Alex as well.
"Sorry guys, this battle must be handled by me personally," I said in direct words, without feeling any shame or guilt, "I'll take the lead for now. But be on high alert, there are going to be many chances to send you over and lead tons of warriors."
I wasn't lying or trying to console them. I wanted them to get ready as if a chance presented itself, I'd ask them to focus over any ground troops.
And that made me consider which type of troops I should use in such an attack.
I wouldn't let them lead any of my Avengers in such a type of attack. They needed some sort of warriors who can deal long ranged brutal damage from high above.
Chapter 1363 My Threads Are Blocked!
The first warrior that popped in my mind was the fallen gods. But the current number I got wasn't enough at all. And even if I exhausted the remaining soul points, it wouldn't matter that much.
I needed at least a million of my fallen gods to serve each general. And that was something I couldn't do at the moment.
"Hmm… Should I use Hescos then?" This was a good option. However if I used these, then I'd burn away one weapon of mine for the enemy.
It was the same thing for my weapons, they were out of question.
"I can't let them lead armies from high above then," I reached such a conclusion before deciding to change the way of using them.
For me, I'd let my fallen gods devastate any enemy from high above. As for them, they could go down and fight the enemies head on.
As for how they'd move from high above to the ground, and return after completing their task, I got the right idea to do so.
And that was by asking my terrain changing troops to form descending ground layers linking the ground to my high above ground and another to pick my forces up if that one faded away or something.
I knew by doing so I'd risk my generals to be trapped in the middle of the enemy if the latter decided to move out in such a way. However when I recalled that they got chariots, I knew this wasn't going to be a big issue for them to escape.
As for my warriors, they were like fodders in my eyes.
I thought about what I should do if I found tons of enemy forces lined up in many places and waiting for me to hunt.

I'd not waste time over using my few fallen gods. This wouldn't do. So it was better to send these eager generals down, and hopefully they'd not end up dead.
Of course that was all my thoughts about what was yet to come. I couldn't tell if the enemy was going to leave his forces wide open like I imagined or not.
Anyway I waited for both my jumper to finish his task alongside the help of my fallen gods, and the Avengers to get done with their absorption of my bones and rearranging their troops.
I left selecting leaders to them to decide. In my eyes, they were all the same.
The battle over the clouds was one sided actually. The enemy couldn't risk using any offensive attack at this moment or else their attacks would backfire at them.
My shields were pressed by the clouds, but that kind of pressure wasn't hostile at all. The clouds acted as immovable mountains, and my shields just got stopped there without getting stirred up by anything.
The fiends controlled thick lightning arcs which danced all the time inside the remaining layers of the clouds. Yet none dared to get out and clash against my shields not even once.
That told me a lot about the mindset of these fiends I was fighting. They analysed and realised that by the presence of my shields, any offence would trigger a rebound, one they'd not be able to endure.
I didn't know how they planned to deal with my shields the moment these clouds would be brought down. But soon enough I'd learn about this answer.
Despite their futile attempts to support their clouds, even after reinforcing the existing clouds with more layers, the clouds were getting smashed and perforated at a fixed pace.
With the addition of my warriors led by the jumper, the clouds the fiends added didn't make much difference at all.
And on another note, my forces never suffered a single causality, even after fighting these clouds for hours!
At the end of a ten hour period of fighting, the last pieces of these clouds got smashed and vanished, revealing the world outside.
The first thing that happened was for my shields to expand fast and envelop a huge area in mere seconds.
But as the clouds were about to fall, the fiends seemed to get ready and started to fly away. Yet they underestimated the speed and strength of my shields.
They thought my shields would take much longer to cover up a great distance, or perhaps they mistook the true reach of my shields.
Just as my shields expanded, lots of these fiends got trapped inside. In fact most of them got trapped, and only those few who were already smart enough to be far away managed to escape.
The combined shields I got helped in increasing the space my shields could cover up. Even I couldn't tell how much area my shields spanned to cover at this moment.
And it wasn't the moment to worry about such a thing.
-n0ve1,com "Attack!" The moment these annoying clouds vanished, and my shields expanded, I shouted, moving my chariot forward, leading the general charge forward.
"Go down there," I turned over to my generals, "each take a small army and lead them to fight those fiends. I'll keep adding more forces to you along the way. Go!"
They didn't say anything and simply each summoned their chariots and moved fast towards the ground. The jumper was already taking everything he got and moving in a direction. Yet his happiness of having an army of his own would vanish soon enough.
I didn't care about that and simply took lots of warriors and left them to help the generals on the ground. At the same time, I started my technique and waited to see what my threads would do.
"Hmm… So they got something to block my threads as expected… How about using the technique with my right arm?"
During the past few hours, I didn't just sit idly watching. I used my sacrifices and augmented my personal stats.
I didn't use any protective shields as it wasn't needed. The warriors were already used as fodders, and my Avengers were so strong to be killed this easily.
