Chapter 1619 Getting To Know The Reason Behind All This
The hole that my digging team took long hours and days to dig was now getting expanded fast! But my fire was pushed slightly back. After all, the cave was filled with this weird energy for a long time to create a strong pushing force.
Yet that all didn't do anything to me. With my chariot, with my gears, I could easily stand there in the middle of all this hell, without suffering a single loss, and even see clearly through all this.
And then I controlled my chariot and headed into the cave for the first time ever.
When I arrived there, I saw a grand space, filled with lots of bubbles at the bottom, and many pillars rising up from the ground in different heights. All of these pillars ended with balls that emitted the same kind of energy that tried to get out from here.
Seeing this made me realise that whatever method these enemies used, it was related and depended entirely on these pillars. Taking them down might not affect the current energy inside the cave, but would stop making any new ones to replenish the lost energy.
"You…" but just before I'd move a muscle, or go towards these pillars, or even take out my fallen gods to take down these pillars, I saw something flashing in the middle of all this.
It was a portal, and from it someone came out, someone that I knew.

"Hahahaha! It seems I arrived just in time, hahahaha!"
In front of me, that despicable face of that annoying clone appeared in front of me. He came just out of a portal, seemingly teleporting here from a far away continent.
"Are you coming here to die? Oh I forgot, you are just a mere idiot clone, one that won't die, right?"
"I love to see that smug look on your face when I'm going to kill you," that clone smirked, as if he cornered me or something.
"Let me guess, in the future you came from I had to struggle to take down these bombs, right?" I already knew how these clone things worked. They came from different futures, where my actions resulted in different futures. At the same time, I knew it wasn't that simple.
If that jerk didn't send any clone to stop me, the future would be the same. But it seemed something out there in the future happened based on my actions here. And he didn't like what I did it seemed and sought to change it.
Despite all his efforts, he failed. Every time he tried to stop me, he ended up losing. Every single time he sent a clone, that clone ended up losing against me. And that meant the future these clones came from wasn't different, or at least nothing major changed.
The only thing that changed was for my tasks and missions to grow a bit difficult, nothing much. That clone kept trying to bring me trouble at such crucial moments. Just like now, I was this close from destroying the enemy's entire scheme about the bombs. And he just appeared to interrupt me.
I didn't doubt for even a second my ability to crush him, deal with the bombs and win this entire thing. But at what cost? Damn this bastard! If he was here with his real body, then things would be much different.
"Just tell me one thing… Who the hell are you?" I paused, looked at this weird face before adding, "you seem human to me. And that means you are one of my kingdom and people, one of my human race. What happened in the future so you have to come back like this? What made you send clones in such a crazy way to stop me? Did I do something wrong?"
"You… You are indeed quite daring!" my sudden words seemed to startle him, stir something deep down his soul or something. The look over his face told me how deeply enraged he was, how unsettled he was.
"Then tell me!" I said in a calm tone, "at least if you have something interesting and logical, I promise I'll take it into consideration."
"No point, no point in trying to talk to you," unlike what I expected, unlike the long and enraged words he'd throw at my face, he simply shook his head, in a hopeless way, "I tried, tried more than once to make you change your goddamn stubborn mind. But you still wanted to do it! No matter what losses the entire universe will suffer, no matter how hard we'll suffer, you still want to do it!"
"What exactly?" I asked, trying to get anything from this bastard's mouth. At least after all this unexplained enmity, I deserved to know why.
"You want… Damn! I can't believe I'm telling you this, the younger self of you…"
"Just spill it, my readers are growing impatient and bored of you already!"
"Fine! You wanted to destroy the entire cosmos, build a new one instead!"
"Me? Are you sure you aren't mistaking me with someone else?!!!" I was shocked by his words, "just look at me, I'm still struggling to make a place for me and my humans in the entire universe. And here you are, speaking about the entire cosmos!"
"Don't try to fool me, I won't mistake that damn pretty face of yours even if I met your baby self! You are going to rise, grow stronger like nothing the current you can even imagine."
"If that's true," my face changed, showing a serious look on it, "if what you are claiming happened, then I must have a good reason behind such a crazy decision."
"Damn you and your reasons! I'm telling you, your actions are going to kill endless people! Destroy endless races, and that's for what? Just? Cause? That's bullshit!"
"If you are telling me there is a reason behind my actions, a just one, a cause for what I'm going to do, then I won't stop at anything to do it!" I knew myself quite well. If there was some sort of logical reason behind such crazy actions, and I got the power to do what I wanted, then I'd do it!
Chapter 1620 Pushing Forward Into That Cave
Universe? Cosmos? In my eyes, they were just things that kept giving me headaches upon headaches! If not for my weak current self, I'd try to make a new change in the entire universe! And if I got the power to do it, I'd even change the entire cosmos!
I didn't know what happened in the future, but it seemed I grew lucky and powerful enough to get to know lots of secrets about the universe and cosmos. And so I didn't hesitate anymore.
This dude seemed to grow impatient and unsettled with my reasons and actions. He got the power to go back in time, hunt down my earlier self like this. And it was just right to keep crushing this crazy bastard until I'd find his real body one day and kill him for real.
"You are just crazy! The craziest person I ever met and saw in my life, ever heard about in the entire annals of history. You have to die! You have to get stopped now before you'd secure this world of yours, before any of the future calamities would happen."
"No need to say anymore bullshit, just like the other clones your real body sent, you are going to die here," I waved my glaive, and prepared for a hellish battle.
"Hahahaha! Do you take me for a fool? I already know what happened to my earlier copies that got sent here. They all died in your hands, and that's because you are just supported by fate to win and survive. This time, I will crush both you and fate, and will use these bombs to destroy not only you, but all the things you made and struggled to build so far."
"I won't let you do it!" I knew he wasn't bluffing, and I wasn't as well.

"Let's see about that," as he said this, his image slowly faded in front of me. I knew he was going towards the place of these bombs. And that was where I should go as well.
I planned before to take it easy while scouting the entire place. The enemy made sure to build up such grand preparation here, and that meant the entire place was flooded with traps.
Racing my way directly towards there was a bit risky. Yet I knew I shouldn't just run towards there without getting to scout the place first.
So I went into my mirror world, and there I started to see the world that was filled with bright light.
There I couldn't see lots of things, yet there were places that had much denser light than others. That meant it was either the place of the bombs or the places of the activation mechanism of the enemy.
I thought about using fire again, but the current ongoing clash was enough to tell me this wasn't going to work. If my fire failed, then it was time to use brutal force.
Without waiting for long, I returned back to the real world, where I started to fly forward. Whatever that enemy might have in mind, he must have a plan.
The moment I went deeper into the cave, the bright light came in torrents towards me. I knew my chariot's shield was supreme, but it kept flickering with lots of flashing lights, telling me something was crushing against it.
I didn't hesitate and summoned my pillar's shields. The shields appeared one after another, ending up getting cracked and crushed in mere seconds!
This was enough to tell me this energy filling this place wasn't normal at all. In fact, I suspected even the activation process of this mechanism was already happening.
Such dense and unstoppable energy must have come from a deadly source, from these bombs. Realising this made me haste in my attempts to arrive there.
"Screw it!" I raised my glaive, waved it around before releasing all the skills it got. At the same time, I held the pillar with my other hand, and also started a barrage of attacks over the dense energy around.
This wasn't enough, but it helped in reducing the pressure over my chariot and shields to some extent. Instead of getting crushed in mere seconds, they started to survive for almost half a minute.
This allowed for my shields to finally stack together. They kept getting destroyed and crushed, but at least I managed to add more layers of shields around.
Yet these shields couldn't expand more than half a mile in radius. It was one of the rare times where my shields failed to expand like normal.
As things reached this far, I let my fallen gods to start attacking as well. All was for the single purpose of weakening this brutal energy, getting it under control.
But it was a futile mission to control such berserk energy. The thing that I could do now was to simply push forward. From time to time, I'd go inside my mirror world to check on my progress. And it was indeed like a snail.
After I visited this mirror world many times, I noticed something weird. "This bastard isn't seen anywhere," almost three hours passed since he vanished. And when I thought I'd see him anywhere, doing something crazy, I didn't sniff anything about him.
And that made me feel like something bad was going on, something that I missed. "Sh*t! Don't tell me he wanted me to go inside and suffer, before coming with his deadly strike or something…"
I felt like he was going to do something against what he exposed. This was expected from such a dirty clone. But the thing was that there wasn't a single indication about any of his plans.
All I could do for now was to just keep pushing forward. Even if he was preparing something for me, I got to reach down below, go towards the centre of this cave, and check over what the enemies here tried to use to detonate these bombs.
During the next day, I kept pushing forward, exhausting lots of resources, while that jerk didn't show his face even once.
Chapter 1621 The Hidden Compartments
At the same time, I kept visiting the mirror world frequently, almost once per half an hour.
I didn't notice any change at all at the light intensity or something, didn't notice anything weird at all. It seemed like this clone just vanished in thin air, and wasn't here anymore.
I even grew suspicious at one point, checking with Lily on the current progress of the war. Things weren't that great at many fronts, but we were also winning at other places.
Not to mention when she withdrew our forces from the areas of Karoline, things started to heat up there. The enemies of other races focused on dealing with her as expected, throwing away tons of forces right now.
The enemy grew restless and a bit greedy about the continents Karoline controlled. Yet such greed was destined to backfire at the end. I knew Karoline was stronger than they took her for, and I even didn't see it surprising if she expanded her control over new continents.
I strictly asked Lily to not send a single troop over other battlefields for now. I didn't want to alarm the enemy about my plans, only wanted them to dig their feet deeper in the mud, before I'd strike them with everything we got.
Lily didn't argue with me this time. In fact she told me she wanted to amass large armies, bidding time, before swarming lots of places and recovering the lands we lost, and even more.
I agreed to her plans, and gave her a time limit of two weeks at most. During which, she wasn't allowed to send out any forces until either Karoline started expanding her lands, or the enemies would send lots of forces away from the current battlefields.
If neither happened, then after two weeks, she'd have lots of fresh forces to send as reinforcements. It was a nice plan, and then it came down to ask about any weird happenings in all this.
[Aside from all the weird things you know about, nothing new happened] She sent this response over, making me confident that this jerk was sticking here, waiting for his chance to strike.
That meant he didn't plan to trigger or do anything to the bomb. It seemed the bombs were in the process of getting activated, and he just wanted to wait for me to get tired or busy, distracted by what I'd find later on, to come and hit me hard.
As he was hidden here, it meant he was somewhere around, a place that I could hit. Without waiting for anymore, I started to go crazy.
Hundreds of dark realm bones were activated in batches. To do so, I activated the board artefact, controlling time and making it run faster for me.
I didn't hold back anymore. And even if the fire released from my bones wasn't enough to crush the dense energy around, it helped in consuming a large part of it.
This wasn't all. The fire expanded to cover limited areas alone. Yet when they merged together, and when I used such a large number of dark realm bones, the fire started to cover many places in the cave.
I knew I wouldn't be able to cover up everything, but at least I wanted to limit the areas that the bastard would hide in, or drive him away scared.
As I kept doing this for an hour or so, I activated more than five thousand bones. That was enough to place lots of pressure over the bright energy in the cave. And then a new change occurred.
The cave was now filled with two opposing forces. And thanks to the fierce clash happening between the two, the cave walls that seemed like nothing could leave a scratch upon it started to show cracks.
It appeared as if the cave was experiencing wounds or something. But soon enough, the cave started to show gaps and holes in its walls, expanding fast, showing something I never expected.
"Damn! So this cave isn't the weapon, it's just the container for it!" in front of my eyes, the walls that fell showed halls and compartments behind. I couldn't tell how large this place exactly was, but it seemed the enemy hid them quite well from my eyes and senses.
Seeing this made me instantly move towards these places. At the same time, my fire and the clashing brutal energy with it moved to fill all the new compartments.
And then fierce explosions occurred without the need for me to do anything. It seemed like the apparatuses left by the enemy here got damaged and destroyed, exploding under the brutal forces of the two clashing powers.
Seeing this made me halt in my steps. Why would I bother myself with any of this when I could simply execute my plan using the simplest methods?
So instead of going there and fighting myself, I took out more bones and kept activating them. The more bones I activated, the more fire spread around, the more destruction that happened.
More walls kept falling apart, and with it fiercer explosions occurred. The entire place was filled with tons of noises, and I couldn't help but grin.
The enemy did it brilliantly this time, taking me by surprise. If things went like they planned, then I'd have been entrapped inside a deadly trap, one that I couldn't handle or fight against.
Against all this, things started to grow ugly for that clone. I now realised where he hid himself, read through his entire scheme, and couldn't help but laugh from time to time for his bad luck.
I wanted to corner him here, ending up revealing the hidden scheme. He must be in one of these compartments. And that meant he had no other way to hide or run away now.
Staying in these compartments wasn't going to work. My fire was getting fiercer and more rogue as I activated higher grade dark realm bones. As for the other energy clashing with it, it seemed to lose most of its supply and producing machines, ending up depleted at a very alarming rate.
Chapter 1622 A Great And Useless Map
That was great news. I held little desire and curiosity to know what the enemy was trying to do here, what technique they used to activate the bombs, but that didn't matter anyway.
What truly mattered was to crush everything here, get freed, and foiling the grand scheme of the clone and my grand enemies together. That was what would my day, that was what would win me a war.
So I kept releasing more fire without any reservations. Even if the entire continent would get destroyed after this, I didn't care.
In the next five hours, the entire underground colossal structure got ruined under my fire. And soon enough, the bright energy coming from this cave vanished. And there I saw the bombs at last.
Tens of thousands of them, even hundreds of thousands of bombs, were laid at the ground in many compartments. Thanks to luck and fate, my fire didn't do any harm at all towards these bombs. It seemed they got extremely sturdy shells or something. Or perhaps the main reason laid in the process of making these bombs, from the hearts of violent stars.
Fire? It wasn't going to do anything to these bombs at all. And then it came down to me to try and deactivate them fast.

Yet I knew even before starting this process that it'd take a long time. And so I sent a warning to Lily, telling her I was going to vanish for another month or something.
Of course she panicked, complaining about my repeated delaying in coming to help. But when I promised that after this period I'd return and concentrate fully on taking down the enemies, she finally agreed.
That wasn't entirely true. The enemy continents still had lots of bombs hidden everywhere. But to me, I could easily move around, locate all the bomb places, then leave such a task for the digging team. After a few months, I'd return to collect and deactivate these bombs. And then I'd get freed from such headaches once and for all.
After I closed the chat with her, I started to closely examine these bombs.
ƥαṇdαsηθνε|·ƈθm They weren't just dormant bombs like the ones I deactivated before. These bombs were in the middle of the process of getting activated. And so I didn't hurry to do it, and first started to examine them.
I went inside the mirror world and kept examining them. As expected, they got little changes than the dormant bombs, and even the drawings over their surfaces showed a change.
"Hmm… So this time it's speaking about how deadly their explosion is going to be," I looked at the drawings appearing on their surfaces, getting the hidden message behind these.
The ones who made these bombs seemed to have some sense of irony. They described in great detail what would happen after activating these bombs. And luckily they also provided a way to stop this, as if they were ironically mocking and challenging the ones getting hit by these bombs.
But this time there was something new. The old drawings spoke about how to make these bombs from stars. And that proved to be quite challenging for me. Yet this time, I found something like a grand map of a place in the middle of the universe.ραпdαs `nᴏνɐ| сom
When I looked at this, it seemed like a small star map, describing a place somewhere in the universe. When I followed the drawings, I could tell this was a key map towards a place, some place important, a place with a machine to make all these bombs!
Damn! This was huge! But in the next moment, all my excitement vanished.
"It's like looking for a needle in a haystack," this map would be priceless for those familiar with the universe it described. The ones who made these bombs were describing a place in their universe, which I didn't know.
Realising this made me drop my attention and interest in this map. If a time came and I got to know about anything related to the ones who made these bombs, then it'd be very useful. But aside from dreaming about the impossible, I sighed and focused on how to deactivate these bombs.
The method was generally the same, but I got to touch new places first. After testing it a few times, I finally started to deactivate these bombs in great numbers.
I stopped hesitating anymore, and focused solely on deactivating these bombs. At the same time, I sent out all of my warriors to the surface, letting them fight against the Valkyries, killing them during the upcoming two weeks.
I thought it'd take me a month to deal with these bombs, but it didn't take longer than two weeks. And when I went to the surface, I found everything under my forces' control.
All the Valkyries got killed, all the weird storms stopped, and the trees were burning or destroyed. The entire continent was now under my control. But I didn't plan to stick here any longer.
I called back my warriors, left here and went directly towards other continents. Unlike what I did so far, this time my sole mission was to do a search and look for any bombs in all the remaining continents.
This took me around three more weeks. But I marked everything using my pillar's bubble, saved all the places using my staff. I even established portals at these places, to facilitate the upcoming mission of the digging team.
During all this time, the entire progress of war was finally getting under control. The appearance of Karoline helped greatly in distracting lots of the enemy forces towards her.
She fought fiercely against everyone, not only working against me. That was a bit weird, but it helped in relieving lots of pressure off my shoulders.
The greatest help she did was to start invading other regions. She controlled ten continents at first, then doubled this number after one month. The enemies tried to stop her advance, tried to invade her ten continents at first, but ended up losing badly on her hands.
Chapter 1623 It's Time To Punish Traitors
At the same time, I let Lily accumulate our forces and store armies inside the second Earth world. At some point, even that grand world got filled to the brim, and there was no room for more forces to train there.
Of course even the pocket world got filled as well. I couldn't believe how this happened, but when I spoke with Silverlining, he explained things over to me.
It seemed everyone at the Toranks race higher up's circle could see my victory was fixed in stone. So they decided to go all out, and support me with everything they had, sending tons of warriors on more frequent times than ever.
That ended up filling the entire second Earth world, and so I gave Lily the green light to start our counterattack.
I strictly ordered her to not get near the entire zone where the brutal fights between Karoline and other forces were happening. It was idiotic to intervene there.
It was a grinding place, where both sides kept losing forces on an alarming rate. The weirdest thing ever was that no matter how her side lost, she kept gaining more forces to her side out of nowhere. I didn't know how she could do it. And despite my curiosity, I didn't even think about sending spies to see what was going on out there.
I decided to leave her and others to fight among each other, while my forces would secure other continents. As the fight between the two went on for a month and we didn't move during all this time, all the races dropped their guards against us, and focused mainly on the rising star and danger of Karoline.
Least to their knowledge that they were all getting played by me. And now, I was ready to go and show them who was the boss in this world.

"It's done," I finally managed to mark all the places with bombs hidden underneath. With this, a month and half already passed, and with it, it was time for me to start my full counterattack.
[I'm Coming to ground zero. Make sure to be there] I sent over to Lily, [And prepare all the digging teams with the digging machines. I've already established portals linking to all the bomb locations they have to dig out]
[Got it! At last you are going to join this war] It seemed that she was pressured for a long time. And I knew that was true. However it was also part of the job's risks and duties to handle such pressure for me.
I went back to ground zero, and there I found the entire world filled with forces of mine. I noticed that lots of fighters were getting out from the portal linking this world with my second Earth world.
At the same time, I saw most of them walking through the portal zone, going towards different places in this new world.
"I see you have already started mobilising the stored forces," I said when I noticed her chariot coming towards me.
"This? This is just the extra," she rolled her eyes, "you didn't see the true armies inside the other world of yours. It's on another scale, one that you can't possibly imagine!"
"..."ραпdαs `nᴏνɐ| сom
I was really surprised. The sheer number of forces here was enough to arm up a few armies to the brim. On top of that, these fighters were moving non-stop towards other places in the world.
If this was just the extra, then it meant the current portal abilities weren't enough to satisfy my current forces.
ƥαṇdαs ηθνε|·ƈθm "Do you need more portals?"
"The portals aren't the issue, the order to stand down is," she sighed, "I'm sending them to fight at useless places, fighting a low number of enemies on a few continents only. I want to start expanding the war, fight all the races here, fight all the enemies."
"Hmm… So you held back even when I gave you the green light," I nodded in appreciation. She seemed so anxious to send armies towards the various battles. And yet she didn't do it.
"Alright," I nodded, looking around before checking the general map of the world, "I can see half of the continents filled with races… And almost all of them had fights going on around. How about this… You can lead armies towards twenty continents first. Will that do?"
"Twenty? Hmm… As a start… Not bad," she smiled, "but which twenty continents do you want to start with?"
I looked at the map again, forwarded it towards her using my channel. I haven't checked on the latter for a very long time already. There was a time when having this channel was considered the most glorious thing I ever had. And now? It was just something worthless in my eyes, just a means to connect myself with my forces.
"Select any twenty continents at the periphery," I said while she was examining the map I just sent, "but…"
"I know, I know, I'll stay away from Karoline and others fighting her. But how about you?"
"Me? I want to punish traitors first," I paused, looked at the map before adding, "where are the Selvators and Berserkers? I want to rule them out first."
"Alone?" she paused, "you do know that they got lots of support from other worlds. Not to mention they are also supported by the Hescos."
"I don't care," I shook my head, "I want to start off with them. They killed two of my oldest followers, two of my trusted subordinates. And it's time to avenge their deaths and show the entire world what's the price of stabbing me in the back."
"Ok," she didn't object or offer help again, "see these portals? They lead towards places filled with tons of Selvators and Berserkers. According to our attempts, we estimate that both races work as the henchmen of the Hescos, controlling thirty-five continents in total."
"Not bad," I evilly grinned, "make sure to prepare armies to be sent there, to defend these continents and claim it for us once I'm done."
Chapter 1624 Attacking The Berserkers
"Don't you want them right now?" she shouted while I controlled my chariot and went towards the direction of portals she pointed towards.
"No need," I waved my glaive in the air, "this is a personal matter. Start spreading our armies in the twenty continents you selected. Don't ask about expanding anywhere else unless you'll control these places first, got it?"
"I'll do it in no time!" she shouted back at me, while I went closer to the area of the portals. I knew that taking down twenty continents wasn't an easy feat at all.
It took me a long time to control the fifth continent of the enemy before. And even right now I couldn't say for sure that I cleared most of them out of enemies.
So dreaming about clearing these twenty continents in a short time was mere fantasy and wishes. Yet I hoped she could hurry and control them in less than a month.
I estimated it would take such a time to clear all the Selvators and Berserkers regions.
As I arrived at the group of portals leaving towards their continents, I recalled my two friends who got killed by their own people.
Fang might have been a bit trickery, but he was quite dependable. He wasn't an explosive or fighting maniac like Wryly, but he was wise and knew when to speak and what to say.

Yet I missed Wryly more. That Berserker was quite honest, simple minded, and loved harsh battles all the time. He wasn't the type to flinch away from any battle, and that unique way to fight and shout in the middle of it was still fresh in my mind.
Just the mere thought that these two got killed by their people thanks to me, the thought that their people agreed to follow and aid me in times of danger and war, to just flip the switch and turn their daggers at my back, was something enough to make my blood boil!
These damn bastards and traitors… It was time for executing revenge on them. And I didn't think too much about which portal I should visit first. In my eyes, I'd visit all of them and kill all of their people in the end.
Giving them a chance to serve me and my kingdom? No way! I didn't plan to give any of them such an easy path out of this.
In my eyes, getting rid of two races who already got their chances and ruined it was just.
ƥandasnovel·ƈom "Hi, hi! Did you miss me?" The moment I went out of the portal I randomly selected, I found myself appearing just in the middle of endless Berserker forces.
They seemed to surround the portal here, aiming to prevent any one of my side to step foot in their continent. But the moment I appeared, my chariot and its shield protected me quite well.
The moment I appeared there, I was welcomed by torrents of attacks. It fell like rain, and got stopped like they were made out of glass or something.
Once their initial attack failed, they all stopped. And with my words, I could feel the atmosphere changing fast.I think you should take a look at pandasnovel.com
These folks… They recognised me, hahahaha!
"Sorry for my delay, I was busy paying you a formal and proper visit before. But now it's time to change all this. Please send a message to your paragons, tell them that doomsday is already coming to you, damn traitors, damn bastards!"
I didn't stop after saying these words. The next moment, I called forth all my warriors, led by my Kings and Soulers. "Kill them, leave none alive!"
With these mere words, it was like hell gates opened on everyone here. My warriors weren't weak, and they fought in tons of wars already, crushed mighty enemies, much scarier than these folks.
But I knew Berserkers weren't a race to be underestimated. They were also warmongers and experts at battles like my warriors.
So seeing this fight was quite interesting actually. To honour my dead follower, Wryly, I decided to keep my hands off and didn't use my bubbles this time. I even took my glaive, jumped off my chariot, and started a spree of killing among everyone around.
This race always got my admiration and respect. Even if they were my enemies, I shouldn't kill them in a way that was seen as low and treacherous in their eyes.
It was better to clash against them using the same might they always worshipped, just to let them realise how big the opportunity they screwed was.
Following me was going to be the best decision they ever made! And that was why I decided to fight this race with the thing they loved and adored the most.
Doing this war this way didn't slow down me or anything. My warriors kept coming towards the enemies in huge numbers, killing them fast, pushing the line forward. And as the Berserkers weren't the type to use tactics or tricks in fighting, they matched my head on style of fight with another.
It was bloody and brutal, but it was also swift. When I flew high in the air, I found out that my forces were crushing the enemies like an unstoppable flood. I even doubted if they were just running in the woods without any enemies to kill, they wouldn't travel this fast at all!
Seeing this scene made me uncontrollably laugh. The enemies we were fighting were just the best in direct clashes, but my warriors were already crushing them like fire eating weed.
I didn't know if this was partially thanks to their sense of guilt or what. Perhaps they thought what they did to their own man, Wryly, deserved them to get punished or something.
Or perhaps my warriors grew stronger beyond my imagination. Anyway, I returned to wave my glaive around, killing and hacking anyone I met, moving forward while my chariot kept tagging along from behind.
Taking down a few armies wasn't an issue, but taking an entire continent was. The distance we needed to cover was simply scary. And so after a long time of doing this, I decided to accelerate this process and entered my mirror world.
Chapter 1625 Collecting Bones And Loot
There I was able to jump towards faraway places, spreading more warriors there, before jumping to another spot. Things kept happening like this for a few days straight. And in the end, it took me around one week to control just this continent.
And that was me. Thinking about Lily's optimistic dream about clearing twenty continents in a short time made me shake my head.
"These Berserkers are honest even in the face of unstoppable might… I can attack all their continents like this without the need to be there myself…"
As Berserkers have such an honest way and commitment to their code and honour in fight, I felt like it was best to send my warriors towards their continents and let them handle everything.
But that needed me to take a tour around first, determine which continents got Berserkers and which got Selvators.
For Berserkers, I'd just fight them straightforwardly. As for Selvators, I'd never do that with them. Those despicable bastards were just too cunning to get the honour of direct flight.
For Selvators, it was better to return to my old style of fighting, using my staff shields, my explosive bones, and massacre them without any mercy.
I knew Berserkers weren't weaker than Selvators, but I didn't yet meet any paragon calibre dudes of them yet. At the same time, I didn't yet see a single Hescos out.

But I was sure I was going to see them sooner or later.
So I returned back to ground zero, and started to test all the portals one after another. I visited all the continents, and realised that Selvators controlled twenty continents while the Berserkers controlled the rest.
With my chariot, nothing bad could happen to me. And such distribution matched how Selvators felt high about themselves, how they looked in an arrogant way towards the Berserkers.
Once I marked the continents of the Berserkers, a true massacre occurred.
I simply visited all the continents belonging to them, left behind lots of my warriors. I didn't care about any tactic, simply took part of each warrior type and scattered them all over the continent.
I emptied nearly all of my warrior stocks during this, while using even the ones without any stats at all. I knew this was going to be hard if they met with other enemies than the Berserkers. Yet it was that easy to handle the Berserkers.
My warriors just lined up, ran towards the enemies, and kept killing them in a direct battle. I took roughly two weeks to distribute my entire warriors over these continents. And then I took another week to supervise things there.
During which, I asked Silverlining to send me all the warriors tokens he could find me, plus tons of stats. I knew dealing with the Berserkers was going to be easy, but it'd take lots of time.I think you should take a look at pandasnovel.com
I estimated for my warriors to take at least a couple of months up to six to deal with the Berserkers. This wasn't because the Berserkers were strong, it was because I scattered my warriors over many continents, ending up with much fewer warriors at each continent.
To control each continent, my warriors had to fight hellish battles and advance slowly. So I decided to shift my attention towards the Selvators in the meantime.
In addition to that, I wanted to replenish the lost warriors during all these fights. I lost tons of warriors so far, and didn't replenish any yet.
Silverlining promised to do his best, feeling too much excitement about my future battles with Hescos. I knew the Toranks were sitting on the edge of their seats, waiting to see the result of their gamble.
Well, they bet on me to be the black horse in this apocalyptic trial. And I intended to not disappoint their trust in me.
As I got enough time right now, I started to do lots of things that I didn't get the chance to do before. First I visited all the fifty continents of the enemy, checked on things going on there, and also collected my precious bones and loot.
I didn't get any time to do any of that. So when I saw the endless stream of bones flooding my way, I couldn't help but laugh uncontrollably. I got tons of dark realm bones, normal bones, and the most precious Holy Ones bones.
pandasnovel.com In addition to that, all the races they used got lots of loot for me to collect. I didn't say no to more wealth and resources, even if they weren't that useful for me anymore.
But the idea that I finally got time to collect part of my gains was enough to drive adrenaline like crazy in my veins! I spent tons of my hard earned bones during the past hectic wars.
I admitted to myself that I never cared about bones that much. Even with such crazy expenditure, I still got enough to satisfy my needs for a year or two.
But who'd be crazy to say no to more loot? Especially when I worked damn hard to earn them?
I was sure that if I went around this new world, visited every new continent there, then I'd end up finding bones buried under the ground. Even if the continent was a barren piece of land without any living soul there to kill, I was sure I'd still find bones.
This world got formed of many worlds I sent my forces to fight and kill the enemies. And as I lacked enough time to collect these bones before, it was expected to find bones even in the middle of a desert.
To cover up the entire fifty continents took me roughly one month. During which I paid attention to the ongoing battles in the world, and also took care of the bombs extracted by my digging teams.
The bomb problem was getting under control quite smoothly, but that wasn't the case for the ongoing wars. The moment I focused on the Berserkers, other races got the impression that they were going to be next.
Chapter 1626 A Heaven Shaking Discovery!
So they started to lower their attention and care towards Karoline, ending up mobilising even half of their forces fighting my ex-girl.
Lily was worried, but I told her to not do anything out of normal. I knew what was going to happen, and in a few more weeks, what I expected did indeed happen.
pandasnovel.com Karoline gave me the impression that she wouldn't stop until she'd control the entire world. So when the other races dropped the heat over her side, she used this chance to push forward and expand.
The other half the other races left behind got screwed badly, and they lost tons of lands and even entire continents in the process. As this happened, and coupled with my forces acting low and conserved, not attacking anyone other than the ongoing battle for months, the other races decided to return and hit Karoline hard.
They felt how extremely dangerous she was. And I got the news that even the Hescos took part in this grand operation.
Like this, the two grand enemies remaining in this world were going to clash against each other for a long time. I estimated that such a grinding battle would last for months, and even after one year, no side would emerge winning.
But there was something quite annoying about Karoline. After two months of fighting brutally like this, she didn't show any sign of losing forces or growing weaker like many other races did.
In fact, her forces seemed to grow bigger the more she fought. This was against all logic. And yet I didn't have the time or mood to deal with her.
During these two months, I finished my tour around the continents I could access, collected everything I needed, received a really grand and generous batch of tokens, and let all the warriors there upgrade their stats to the max level.
During which I noticed something that I accidentally missed. I thought we were all fighting on the same ground, with level five being the cap. Yet when these warriors came, they used a hellish lot of stat crystals, reaching level one hundred directly!
It hit me like thunder! The level cap was removed without anyone getting notified about it! Or to be more precise, I didn't get notified by it.
That changed literally everything! And it also explained lots of things that puzzled me for a long time.
It was clear that my enemies came prepared, knew more intel than I did, but that didn't explain why they were kicking my forces as*yes, everywhere they met.
At the beginning days of this merge, we lost tons of great warriors and generals without a proper reason. And now I realise what went wrong all this time!
The enemies had increased their levels higher than my forces. Even if we didn't get enough time to accumulate lots of stat crystals to fill our levels to the max, they still got much higher levels than any of my forces, even higher than myself.
Damn! I felt quite enraged towards those bastards from the system higher ups. Why didn't they just inform me about this?
When I realised this, I hurriedly opened the market and checked the current prices of the stat crystals. Indeed they went off the roof, getting at least ten folds of increase in price.I think you should take a look at pandasnovel.com
Yet I found seemingly endless supply there. When I checked my current wealth, I couldn't help but grin.
"You thought you could trick me? Hahahaha! Ok, let me show you how truly powerful and resourceful I am, hahahaha!"
If it was the issue of coins, then it wasn't a problem at all! Just with a few clicks, I bought tons of stat crystals, almost emptying the entire market of its stocks.
And that didn't cost me one hundredth of my current wealth. Wasn't that funny?
I didn't close the market interface, just kept refreshing it until the goods got replaced again. They got an increase of almost one hundred percent, but that didn't stop me.
I emptied the market again of all the stat crystals there, and waited. I kept doing this until I spent half of my wealth. Not to mention I didn't stop idle and waited for the market to refresh its stocks.
I opened my inventory, took all the useless gears and weapons, monsters cores and materials, and sold them in batches. As this was a deep pocket war, I sold everything in auctions.
So far I didn't get how the market really worked. But it felt like it wasn't just limited to my apocalypse. There were low grade weapons and materials that got sold like hot cakes, not quite logical at all.
At this stage of the apocalypse, where we were this close from ending it up, there was no need to buy a single material at all. As for weapons, gears, arrays, war supplies, they would be sold if they were in high grade only.
But selling equipment of level five or something, white trash grade on top of that, at such high prices was indeed weird! It was insane!
That made me realise this market wasn't just limited to my apocalyptic trial like I initially thought. And that also explained how I emptied the entire stock of the market stat crystals, ending up getting them refilled in a few minutes later!
But that wasn't bad news for me, not even close! Like this, I got my entire wealth doubled in no time, ending up spending half of all that in the next few days.
After I depleted half of my wealth, I stopped. I didn't know if I bought stat points to cover up my people's needs for a century or what! But it was worth it.
I wasn't just trying to satisfy my people's needs, I was also making it impossible for my enemies to match my forces' upcoming sudden rise in power thanks to filling their levels to the top.
Right now, and compared to when I checked the market prices, the prices have increased by thirty folds!
Chapter 1627 So This Won't Be The End Of The Novel!
If anyone wanted to purchase stats from the market, they got to really bleed themselves to do that, and it wasn't going to be enough.
This was my revenge against such a scheme, such a treacherous act that I was sure the Hescos and other top races were behind it.
Screw you all! I wished you all'd rot in hell!
[I want to meet you right now at ground zero] Once I was done, I sent this message over to Lily, [Make sure to bring lots of people with you. We need to make a big distribution over our forces scattered all over the world]
When I met her, and when she learnt about such tricky and little details that even she didn't know about, she got really furious.
"Those damn bastards! That's why our armies got screwed all over the place all this time! So they raised their levels, and that's enough to push our backs against the walls!"
She was smart enough to get the hidden meaning behind such an act. I didn't need to say anything to her, and she guessed everything that I already guessed.
"No need to panic, it's not like we lost that bad," I evilly grinned, waved my arm and the next thing that appeared was mountains and mountains of stat crystals.
"This… Did you steal the market or what?!!!" she gave me an expression and look that made me laugh for a minute.
"It's just me," I laughed, "you know what you need to do."
"Leave it to me," she even placed her hand over her chest, "I'll make sure those damn bastards piss themselves when they'll see our new might."
"Not right away," I warned her, "right now they are all scared of Karoline. Just make sure our warriors will hide their strength quite well, ok?"
"I got you," she nodded, "but will this be enough?"
"Oh, don't worry about that," I flew in the air, went towards another empty spot and started filling it with mountains of stat crystals, "I'll leave enough to satisfy our needs for years."
"We only need to satisfy it for now," she laughed when she saw this, realising how I loved to do things big.
I didn't stick around for too long. After I left enough for her and my forces, I went back to one of the continents I controlled before.
"Time to raise my warriors up," I stopped just when I realised what was going on. And now it was time to reshuffle everything.
I started taking my warriors and filled the word with them. At the same time, I scattered mountains of stat crystals all over the continent.I think you should take a look at pandasnovel.com
Then I left them to consume them, upgrade their levels, while I increased mine.
"Damn god! My current stats… Damn!" I didn't think twice and consumed hundreds of thousands of stat crystals to increase my level to the max. And there I found my stats quite scary.
All of them were at the hundred thousand mark! All of them! Be it speed, strength, defence, everything! And on top of that, I found something new on the side of my profile page.
"A True Universe Novice Rank? What the heck is that?!!!" I checked but found a message that told me I did not have enough clearance to access such data. I thought deeply about it for an hour or so, reaching a single conclusion.
"So the apocalypse is meant to help new races to join the grand universe. Does this mean there are more ranks out there in the universe? Wow! That means… I'm not at the weakest level of the entire universe or what?"
I knew if I asked Silverlining, he'd walk me through all this. But I didn't. I wanted to walk myself through, better taste what this all was about myself.
That clearance thing wasn't a puzzle for me. I was sure the moment I'd clear this apocalypse and control everything under my lead, once the apocalypse would be over, then me and others would get such clearance privileges or something.
"So… It won't just end here after all…" I muttered to myself, while feeling weird excitement about all this.
I thought that once I controlled my world and won the apocalypse, all this excitement would be over. I started my journey here hating this apocalypse down to the bones. But after living through it for a long time, after rocking and winning all my enemies and foes, I developed such a weird attachment to such life.
In addition to that, there was always this puzzlement that I couldn't get. If everything ended by the end of the apocalypse, why would lots of races compete in every new apocalypse? Send their younger generations to fight there for supremacy?
I'd understand if the top three races fought hard to do it. After all, they were the top three, and they were battling this hard to secure their current position and even crush the other two if possible.
Yet other races like Dragons, Selvators, and Berserkers didn't need to struggle that much. They could just lean their backs, enjoy the peaceful lives at their home worlds. And if their people grew in size, they could participate in apocalyptic trials from time to time, securing more worlds for their future generations.
But now I started to see through everything. There was another trial after this one would be over, one that seemed much grander and a lot better than this one here.
An entire trial that would cover up the entire universe with all the races within. How big and hard such a trial would be? Damn! Just thinking about it drove my blood to boil with excitement!
ƥandasnovel.com I couldn't wait for the entire trial here to end. And was now greatly anticipating what I'd get in the end from all this in the form of assessment.
As there was another trial after this one, then my performance here would reflect on the final assessment and later on would grant me perks. What would I get? A privilege to be like those mighty races? Perhaps not that far, but it'd be enough for me to place a strong foot on that grand universe.
Chapter 1628 Taking My Time To Strengthen My Warriors
Realising all this made me want to accelerate things here. So I started to focus more on strengthening all of my warriors, and that included summoning more warriors using my soul class.
When I checked, I found a scary figure of hundreds of thousands of billion souls stored inside my class so far. It seemed the grand wars I went through were enough to kill such a scary number. And that made me wonder how many people exactly were in this new world? How many would survive to the end?
I didn't think too much and started to summon more warriors, scary ones, to aid me in my next and finally charge against everyone here. All the races I summoned were instantly strengthened using my stat crystals.
Be it Kings, Soulers, Reapers, or even Avengers, I summoned endless numbers of these. I even summoned little Bulltors, shield bearers, and even hectors and dragons. I didn't stop at anything, and kept spending my stored up souls like crazy.
I worked so hard all this time just for this moment. And so I never stopped until I emptied all the souls I got.
"This is indeed great," I looked at the billions upon billions of tokens that filled my inventory right now. Part of this came from Silverlining, and the other part came from my soul class, "it's time for this world to have a king," I laughed while deciding to start my all out onslaught.
30+ Freaking Awesome GadgetsTrending Boom
I took roughly four months to do all these preparations. Part of this was thanks to me for going back towards all the continents I scattered my warriors at, took them back, and then summoned them again.
I let all of my warriors consume stat crystals to reach the top level. During which, Lily called me ten times, asking for replenishing the star crystals. She also asked me to leave tons of these crystals back in the second Earth world. And I did that.
It seemed that I underestimated the huge number of forces under my lead. Just when I was done with distributing stat crystals over the two worlds, I found that I emptied half of what I purchased.
"Well… It won't harm to raise the price again, right?" I laughed evilly when I saw the prices increased just one fold more than before. So I went all out and purchased more, increasing it again by twenty folds.
I knew that slight increase came as one of the forces or even multiple noticed my actions and decided to do something about it. They tried to arm up part of their forces using these stat crystals, not knowing that they were already fighting a losing war against me.
Once done, I made sure to leave at the second Earth world enough to satisfy the needs of the endless supply of fighters coming all the time towards there. Silverlining and his race's sovereigns were truly going all out. And that made me more confident in what the end result of this war was going to be.
In this apocalypse, in this new world, there was none who could match me. Be it in terms of forces' numbers, diversity, might, and even wealth, they all failed and were left behind to rot in the dust.
After doing all this, I didn't hurry to start my full counterattack. I knew my forces needed lots of time to get their stat points maxed out. Besides, I haven't finished collecting my bones from all over the world yet.I think you should take a look at pandasnovel.com
I continued my tour around, took another couple months in doing so. During which, I kept a close eye over the entire situation of war.
Lily kept asking me to send the all maxed out stat fighters to the frontlines, and yet I refused. I wanted the two sides fighting to harm each other deeply before I'd move out.
[Just stay low, I'm going to deal with the Selvators now and then we'll start the all out onslaught] I sent to her once I got done collecting my bones. I visited even the continents that no one was living on, and indeed I found lots of bones there.
The only continents I didn't visit yet were the ones filled with races and enemies. I knew they got tons of bones as well, lots of riches to collect, but that was left for the aftermath of this war.
Enough time passed for all the Berserkers to get wiped out! They didn't even think about surrendering, kept coming at my forces down to the last man.
pandasnovel.com In fact, such a result wasn't that pleasant to me. I liked this race, liked how straightforward they were. And I knew they got tricked to betray me from a bunch of greedy and dirty leaders.
But as they betrayed me more than once, I didn't give them any way out. And now it was time to lay hell down the second treacherous race; the Selvators.
These were quite different from Berserkers. They weren't that straightforward, formed of a bunch of evil and twisted soul members.
I knew fighting them would be quite challenging before. Yet that was before maxing out my warriors stats. I collected everyone, gave them stat crystals enough to make them the strongest in this entire world.
As I stood on the side watching them eat stat crystals like they were eating candy, I couldn't help but imagine the course of this entire war if I learnt about this little detail up ahead.
Just a small detail made such a grand difference. Even the fight against those forces coming from outside the universe would have been another story if I faced them with warriors of maxed stats.
Well… At least I ended up winning, not suffering any defeat so far. I threw such regret behind me, and focused more on the upcoming battle.
The Selvators controlled twenty continents, filled them with their races, armies, and fortified them heavily. Other than these twenty continents, there were lots of Selvators scattered across lots of continents, either fighting my forces or Karoline's.
Chapter 1629 Getting Shocked!
It was also the case of the Berserkers. But I didn't care about any of this. In the end, I'd crush all these forces.
I called back my warriors, looked around before returning to ground zero. There I randomly selected one of the portals leading to one of the twenty continents of the Selvators.
"Oh, don't tell me you were waiting for me here all this time? That's indeed quite a one sided relationship, hahahaha!" The moment I appeared there, I found tons of Selvators waiting for me.
The floating islands were in tens of thousands, filling the entire sky, filled with tons of their armies. As for the ground, it was covered entirely with thick layers of forts and towers, walls that got endless war weapons.
Seeing all this made me realise they were waiting for me all this time. And that made me laugh. "Fine, let me show you how true might is!"
The moment I appeared, they didn't even care about greeting me except with firing weapons and skills. I watched the entire world turn bright with different lights, and that made me point at them and laugh.
They might have been the scary race before, when I was weak and scared to stumble across any of the races on Earth. But now? I bid my time and slowly chop their forts and islands piece by piece.
And yet that'd cost me a long time, even years. I didn't want to do that. So I took out my warriors, pointed towards the floating islands and the ground, and didn't say anything.
I knew this race was quite smart and treacherous, loving to scheme and put good plans. So I released just a tiny fraction of my warriors, let them go and test them out.
Japan: Here Are 30+ of the Coolest Gifts for 2022Trending Boom
Least to my knowledge that the difference between the full stats warriors of mine and the mediocre forces of theirs was this severe!
The struggling battle I expected didn't happen. Instead, I saw what the word massacre and the other word; a one sided slaughter, really meant!
This didn't even happen when I faced the Berserkers! All my forces did was to just release their attacks, wave their swords and weapons, unleash their skills, and with all this they unleashed true hell on this part of the world.
Fire never looked this intense before, and explosions never were this devastating before. Anywhere my warriors hit turned into a sea of fire and ruins. No, it was more precise to say they turned these places into real parts of hell, filled with running rivers of lava and dead bodies!
ƥandasnovel.com Seeing this made me pause for long minutes, before I finally absorbed my shock and got adapted to how scarily strong my warriors were.
[Start deploying the armies] seeing there was no need for me to hold back or worry about anything, I gave the green light for Lily to start using the full power of my kingdom's armies.
What was the use of gods going easy on ants? In the end, the ants would all die, and there was no scenario where ants would harm gods in return.
[At last! Ok, I'll start releasing all of them then, withdraw those at the frontlines without max stats…]
[Don't come near Karoline and the other forces, ok?] I interrupted her excited words, and made sure she'd not make such a mistake now.I think you should take a look at pandasnovel.com
[Tsk! Fine! Let your girl live for a bit longer] I didn't know why but it felt like her words held weird and deep resentment against her for reasons I didn't want to think about.
I closed the chat with her, took a deep look over the grand map I had. Currently almost half of the entire continents were filled with races, while the other half was empty.
That wasn't good news actually. In fact, I could already see through the future. If the different races got pushed so hard by me, then they'd start retreating. And as there were lots of unoccupied continents, I knew this wasn't going to end well.
This war would be elongated for no damn reason. [Tell Isac to start moving people and armies towards the continents I've marked for you] I reopened the chat with her, sent this message over alongside a picture of the map with continents marked there.
[All of them are empty… Do you want to spread out people there first? What for? Safeguard against a backdoor for them?]
[Smart girl] I was pleased she got what I wanted to do quite fast.
[I can see why you want to do this… Fine, let me speak with her first]
[This is a top priority]
[I know. But you also know such project needs lots of materials and planning]
[We just need temporary forts and bases. Our armies… They are hellish strong]
[I'll have to let people have their stat maxed out then to match the incoming enemies if they get attacked. I'll need more of these crystals then at the other world]
[Got it!] I didn't argue with her, took out tons of my warriors first, let them crush this continent, before I went to the second Earth world.
There I visited the cities and towns, and left tons of crystals there. My people weren't that weak to begin with, many with cultivation bases opened. But with filling their stats to max, it was possible for them to be an army on their own.
I decided to arm up all of my people here with stat crystals to max their stats out. This took me almost the remaining stock of crystals I got, and roughly two months to do so.
Then when I returned back, only a few days passed. Nothing much happened, and I checked over the battle I entrusted to my warriors.
Well… I have to admit I was truly shocked by what I saw. For tens of thousands of miles, there was no sign of anyone or anything but ruins and dead bodies.
Chapter 1630 She Is Acting Like Monsters!
The scars of the scary battles that occurred here were still fresh. But I knew all of this was caused by my warriors. After crossing fifty thousand miles, I finally met with my forces.
They were indeed scary! If this continued, then they could clear up the entire continent in less than half a month! And that was with little losses on my side.
What was the definition of scary? This was!
As this proved to work, I started to roam the other nineteen continents, spreading lots of warriors there. I didn't take all of my warriors out like before, didn't even take the truly scary ones like my Kings, Soulers, and such.
I kept those resting inside my inventory, and just let the normal warriors deal with everything. Then it was time for me to take a look at Karoline and her weird situation.
But before doing this, I roamed the world, visited the previously emptied continents and checked on what was going on there.
Isac was indeed a genius in terms of construction and planning cities and towns. Just in the past few days, she managed to lay down the foundations of tons of towns and cities, and moved lots of people from my second Earth to here.
Not only that, Lily also moved tons of armies here, using these places as reserves for the entire armed forces of my kingdom. This was indeed suitable, as we got tons of armies without enough space to accommodate them.
30+ Freaking Awesome GadgetsTrending Boom
Portal network was laid down in every continent, linking different areas of the continent together, and also linking every continent with each other and with ground zero.
I met with Isac, Hillary, and Legend. The latter was the general commander responsible for such a mission.
Per what he told me, Lily found out this world was void of any monster. The only living souls here were races, nothing else. So she planned to turn these continents into training grounds for my armies, working as later training camps, grand camps actually.
Such an extravagant move that would cover up around fifty continents, a large number indeed. But as this world was this colossal to begin with, I didn't argue with such a long term plan.
ƥandasnovel·ƈom As for how she planned to do it, it was easy to guess. The monster dens I previously handed over to her and used a small amount of them at the second Earth world were going to work.
Right now my forces and people were all maxed out in stats. There was no danger in letting any high grade monster den to be deployed here.
In fact, this would help my forces to feel little pressure and grow much stronger in the long run. Besides, using monsters here would serve as a weapon against the enemies, stopping any of their hidden plans of retreat towards any continent without losing too much in return.
As I was satisfied with what they did, I started to move towards the continents of hot wars ragging out there.I think you should take a look at pandasnovel.com
I didn't inform any of my generals about any of that. I simply moved back to ground zero, checked the map a few times, before deciding on my next continent to visit.
It was a place which lied in the heart of the hectic wars going around. When looking at the map, I could see lots of scarlet red dots that filled lots of continents. I selected this one as it looked a bit peaceful, looking as if it was already controlled a long time ago.
If Karoline selected a base for her newly born kingdom, then it would be this place.
I asked Lily about the portal leading to that continent, and her response was pretty much expected. She tried to send lots of armies with me, fearing that by being in the middle of every single army of my enemies I'd end up surrounded.
But this wasn't important to me. I knew I could face an entire army and survive without any issue. I just learnt about the portal leading to that place, and went directly towards it.
The moment I appeared there, I got welcomed with an endless stretch of ruins and damage. I thought I'd be welcomed with prosperous signs of buildings and constructions, but I didn't find anything like this around.
Instead of the grand projects of building, I was met with scenes of death and ruins. It felt like I appeared accidently in the middle of a brutal battlefield or something. I even suspected myself and waited for two hours to check the map again.
And yet I wasn't lost. I was in the place I came here for. All these ruins and deserted lands was what was filling this continent.
There was no sign of civilization, no sign of any life at all. I kept flying around, trying to find anything or anyone, trying to understand what was going on here.
"This is weird…" But after flying for a day or so, I didn't see anything different. Ruins stretched all over the place, and nothing appeared out of this gloomy picture of the brutality of wars.
How could this be possible? If I was Karoline, then after controlling this place for weeks, I'd turn it into a grand place filled with towns and cities, filled with life and prosperity.
"Something is off here…" This came out of my expectations actually. I never expected to see such destruction all over the place. And that just joined the long list of weird actions Karoline was doing since she showed up.
She gave me the impression of acting like how monsters did. She seemed to never care about building anything, focusing solely and mainly over destruction and killing. What a weird girl she was!
Something was off, I was sure about that. "It seems I have to go and visit the main battlefield… But before that, I should go and deal with all the bombs first."
I left my digging teams at all the fifty continents of the enemies coming from outside this universe. And after all this time, it was expected to find tons of bombs there.
Chapter 1631 I Want To Rule The Universe!
As for Karoline and her weird attitude, I decided to let Lily and others start investigating everything about her current whereabouts. I wanted to come directly and meet with her, hopefully I'd find what the real crux of the problem was.
I sent a message over to Lily, before returning back to deal with bombs. When I went there, I found tons of bombs getting extracted already. And I decided to not move away until I dealt with everything.
I gave Lily the green light to use everything and all the armies we had to deal with other continents except for the ones having Karoline's forces and other races fight among each other.
Lily already started attacking other places, but she didn't overdo it until I gave her this order. When I checked my map after a few days, I found out that the fire of war spread all over the world, covering almost seventy percent of the continents there.
It seemed the races were ready to mobilise whenever we'd hit them. But they never expected our forces to build lots of fortifications on deserted continents, and they never expected to meet monsters.
The monster's move was a nice touch actually. It helped to stop many races' forces, ending up for them to suffer lots of losses.
As I saw the entire world burning under such fire of war, I decided to wait for a bit longer before making my final move. I still got lots of bombs to deal with, and I wanted to leave the last war to be with Karoline and other races.
I didn't yet visit the continents of the Selvators, but I could tell from the maps how severely hit they were by my warriors. They got pressured and pushed all the way to the edges of each of the twenty continents. If this kept going for a few more days, then they'd all be annihilated.
They deserved such fate, and I didn't feel any sympathy towards them. They were the ones to backstab me first, kill my friend, and they deserved death as punishment.
I closed the map and focused on dealing with the bombs. Yet such a process took me roughly an entire month. During which, Lily and my armies managed to clear almost fifty percent of the enemies, killing tons of forces, and capturing endless prisoners of war.
It happened just a few days after the all out war started. In front of the unstoppable armies of mine, the enemies started to feel despair and started to surrender.
It first started as sporadic events, and Lily had to return to me to ask for instructions. As I knew this war was close to its end, I decided to absorb more forces here.
What was the value in killing such folks when we could simply absorb them into my kingdom? And that made me wonder about something else…
The merge that happened here got only warriors and armies to appear from each race. Then where were their living people? The ones without any fighting abilities?I think you should take a look at pandasnovel.com
Thinking about this point and recalling how grand this new world was made me realise something. It seemed the system higher ups arranged things with a clear goal in mind.
They didn't bring those who couldn't fight, the normal people, out. They seemed to wait for the moment this entire war would be over, and then they'd release everyone, letting them join the winner's side.
If that was true then it was huge! It meant that this world wouldn't be an empty place, one that would be filled only with fighters and broken armies.
In fact this looked a more reasonable decision and plan made by these higher ups. And I respected what they did here. Like this they'd limit the unneeded losses, preparing the final world to welcome a new era.
And that also meant another thing, my kingdom would be one with different races living inside it. I established my kingdom to prepare a good place for my weak humans to live and prosper. Yet it seemed I was going to help other races as well.
I didn't reject that, only a fool would do such a thing. Any race was welcomed to live and work inside my kingdom. Like this, my kingdom here would be a miniature image of the grand universe, and I'd be training myself for the upcoming grant role to rule over the entire universe.
If the system higher ups planned something new after the end of this apocalyptic trial, then why wouldn't I aim to be the grand ruler of the entire universe?
I got lots of races on my side, lots of ancient ones on top of that. So it was just normal for me to aspire to aim for such a prestigious position. Even if the journey towards such a goal would be hard and long, it was still worth it!
I got used to such a hectic life of fighting and competing, the life of putting one's life and future on the line all the time. It was scary, and yet quite interesting.
Living a life of peace? Finding an island and staying for the rest of my life there with my girls and kids? That wasn't a life for me!
Not to mention I got cursed when it came down to girls and such. Even if such a curse got cleared, it wasn't going to amuse me to live like this.
ƥandasnovel·ƈom I decided to take a long rest first, enjoy the peaceful life and see if I'd like it or not. I'd focus on building my kingdom and expand the prosperous scenes of a true civilisation all over these continents. And also I needed to replenish the lost warriors here with new ones.
If I wanted to conquer the universe, I should plan things out once this grand war was over. The moment I'd control the entire world, I'd start preparing things for such a grand goal. After all, the universe wasn't like the small apocalyptic trial I just lived through.

I needed not only armies, but also capable generals. And on top of that, I needed to know what the real universe was truly like.
I kept myself confined to this apocalyptic trial, and didn't go outside except for rare occasions. I wanted to visit the Toranks race worlds, see how such a grand race and civilization survived and thrived in the universe for such a long time without getting destroyed.
And on top of that, I wanted to learn why they didn't manage to ruin the universe and become the rulers of it!
I knew the universe got races, got interesting places like the impacts and the fighting places, and it also got the outer grand battlefield.
I got lots of places to visit, tons of knowledge to learn, and above all, I still didn't know what type of quest the system would enforce on those succeeding the apocalyptic trials.
In my opinion, the system might give a very complicated long mission list for anyone surviving the apocalypse. They'd have to get tested against other races, against other forces, and surely against the enemies coming from the outer universe.

If that was true, then just having all these armies wouldn't suffice, having just two worlds wouldn't do. I didn't jump to conclusions or think about any detailed plans for now, yet I could feel the need to expand my territory and add more worlds to it.
There must be ways to do so in the grand universe. Either it'd be by directly conquering worlds there, or taking part in new apocalypses, there was a way indeed to expand.
In my opinion, if the grand races in the universe decided to take part in new apocalyptic trials, then it meant this was the most feasible way to do it.
I knew this was going to be an interesting way to add more worlds to my kingdom, but it was a very deadly disadvantage in my eyes. I had to waste tons of time, long years, a century for every apocalyptic trial to end, before I'd gain a world, or perhaps not.
It was such a long time where I'd risk either winning or losing. The fact of winning or losing didn't matter that much to me, but the wasted time really mattered a lot.
Waiting for hundreds of years to just get a single or even a few worlds? That was quite weird!
I'd prefer to directly fight other races and face tons of armies instead of waiting for such a hellish long time to get nothing back.
At least wars wouldn't last more than a year or two. Compared to wasting hundreds of years to get a single world, I could just get one world per a decade or so. Not to mention I'd not just get a single world, empty and needing construction, I'd get one filled with tons of people and already built places.
In fact I lacked any intel about how to do it. But I knew I had to do this. I got to expand fast if I wanted to really be the true ruler of this universe, or at least rise up in ranks and be one of the top three races.I think you should take a look at pandasnovel.com
Hectors were one of the top three races, but they didn't deserve that. They weren't weak, but weren't that strong either. In my apocalypse, I faced and crushed them without much hurdle actually.
Before the Hescos and Toranks were another story. The Hescos were truly blessed with tons of talents, and had unique ways in doing their battles, not to mention their special suits and long and rich heritage and history.
ƥandasnovel.com As for the Toranks, they looked like a wealthy tycoon in my eyes. They got lots of connections with many impacts, got lots of resources to spend on their forces and allies.
Just seeing how much I gained from them, and I was just making deals with them, made me realise how scarily wealthy and resourceful they were.
These two deserve to be called the true hegemony of the universe, by the Hectors didn't deserve to be listed beside them. At least I'd aim to push down the Hectors and replace them as one of the top races and forces in the entire universe.
I took a deep breath before calming myself down. I didn't know what the general situation out there in the universe was, and I couldn't let myself get drifted to lay lots of plans without knowing the truth and facts first.
The only way to do so was by winning this war, which was something already set in stone for me. After one month, I finally dealt with the last batch of bombs, stored everything inside my inventory, and then turned towards the map.
The current situation of wars was unique. Almost two thirds of the world was under my control, but the remaining third was indeed quite tough to crush. All the races seemed to reach agreements together, stopped fighting each other, unified their forces and came at my armies together.
They merged everything they got for now under a single banner, and that made my forces suffer lots of losses. The advantage of my forces in terms of stats was negated as lots of the races' forces got their stats maxed.
I didn't know how they did it, especially when the prices of the stat crystals at the market didn't show any significant increase. But it seemed they had a way to handle such a problem, and they raised most if not all of their forces' stats to max.
Doing this made the ongoing wars everywhere hard and challenging again. The spree of surrendering moves from these races' armies stopped abruptly, and only fierce battles erupted everywhere.
But there was one thing that I noticed. Even if they reached such an agreement with each other, they didn't join forces with Karoline.
The latter was still fighting hellish battles against these races' armies. At the same time, Lily's spies returned with tons of valuable news.
