“Not good! Something evil is attracted to the Etherium realm,” Sylnor said loudly.
“What evil are you talking about?” Fealan, who was beside him, asked.
“It’s a huge mass of evil,” Sylnor said nervously.
Although he is a tier 9 Seer, all he can calculate are the things in the Etherium realm.
He only knew that there is an evil who noticed Etherium Realm because the instinctive will of the world itself gave him a vision.
“How dangerous is it?” Fealan asked seriously, even though he didn’t know what his old friend Sylnor was talking about.
Just seeing him nervous is enough for him to take this seriously.
“I don’t know, but the world’s will instinctively felt danger,” Sylnor then began to calm down.
“Based on my calculations, we only have a few million years before that thing reaches us.”
…
Because of Sylnor’s warning, the celebration was cut off, and they returned to their own territory.
Using their own methods, they confirmed one by one the evil thing that Sylnor was talking about.
…
In the Divine Continent:
“Tsk, what an evil thing. If this reaches our world, it will instantly swallow and corrode us,” Raedius said.
“What should we do?” Nyxus, the god of the moon, asked.
“We can either sacrifice all the people or sacrifice some tier 9 powerhouses,” Radius said, looking in the direction of Nexus Continent.
Of course, they were reluctant to sacrifice their people, as they are their foundation.
The perfect target for sacrifice would be the powerhouses from Nexus Continent.
…
Around the Nexus Continent, all the powerhouses from the three continents came to Nexus Continent, as if in agreement.
“You’re here, old fox,” Raedius said mockingly when he saw Fealan from Arcane Continent.
“No way…” Fealan could only sigh.
The powerhouses from Nexus Continent are the perfect sacrifice in this time of danger.
“What do you want coming here in our territory?” Valoros asked, looking at the malicious powerhouse glaring at him.
“You should know about the danger outside our realm,” Raedius started.
“We plan to adapt your plan tens of epochs ago, to sacrifice people to strengthen the world.”
“Oh? Then why are you here? Shouldn’t you start killing your people?”
“Don’t worry, we will also sacrifice the people of Nexus Continent for the greater cause,” Valoros said as if not knowing their intention.
“Don’t play dumb, Valoros. We know you’re virtually immortal; this sacrifice should not hurt you,” Raedius said.
The other people also nodded.
When they gathered earlier, they noticed something different about the powerhouses of Nexus Continent, as if they followed the path of the gods and became divine, but not quite right.
After further deduction, they came to the conclusion of such an ingenious method.
Not only do they not have to worry about being assimilated into the world, but they can also become immortal in a literal sense.
Unfortunately, it’s too late. They didn’t have enough time to follow the path of the people from the Nexus continent.
Otherwise, why bother with these hardy, stubborn battle maniacs?
“So what if we’re immortal?” Valoros said with a bit of anger.
He was not angry because of possible death; he was angry because they were being treated as mere sacrifices.
After all, even though he, Valoros was timid, he became the Battle Sage through a mountain of corpses.
So death is like going home for him, and knowing that he can still revive further dilutes this notion of death.
“How about I ask Malgron?” After calming down, Valoros thought of the opinion of big boss Malgron.
“This…” the others hearing him said, had an ugly face.
Although they would not admit it, they don’t know why, but facing Malgron, even though they’re all tier 9 peak powerhouses, is quite scary.
Valoros, seeing their different reactions, felt a little joy.
Seeing this ugly expression, He called for Malgron anyway.
“What?” Malgron teleported toward them and asked.
“You should know about the evil thing coming here,” Fealan said, trying to calm him down lest he goes crazy.
“I know,” Malgron said calmly.
He was busy earlier because of this.
He communicated with the instinctive will of the Etherium Realm to see if it can send him directly toward this evil thing.
Different from others who saw this as a crisis, he saw this as a challenge.
If it were not for the restriction blocking him from this world, he would have already rushed toward that evil thing.
“So you know…” Fealan then nervously explained their plan, using the powerhouses from Nexus Continent as sacrifices.
“Hmph!” Malgron looked at them condensing, which scared the hell out of them, that they nearly escaped.
Although Malgron was angry, he also knew that this is the best plan.
The Etherium Realm is indeed too weak that it can’t even send him directly to the enemy.
“Then you should make them a sacrifice while fighting…” Malgron finally compromised.
He also wanted to see if the Etherium Realm can send him to the enemy after this sacrifice.
“Y-You will not join?” Fealan asked in surprise.
“Do you want me to?” Malgron looked at them who were timid like sissies that he instantly lost his fighting intent.
“N-no, of course not.” They didn’t fare to fight this monster.
“Hmph!” Malgron then looked at Valoros.
“Ready for battle, You should kill one or two to vent your anger.”
“Sure, I’ll make sure they enjoy this sacrifice.” Valoros smiled.
…
A thousand years later, the huge evacuation of people from Nexus Continent was finished.
Looking at the whole continent that was still bustling with activity a while ago, now empty, Valoros sighed.
“Are you ready?” Valoros asked the other ten.
“Hahaha! We’ll cut some flesh off these weaklings,” Draven, who was skilled in hammer weapons, said excitedly.
Knowing that they were going to be besieged and sacrificed, he was not scared at all; he was even a little excited.
“Where’s the little newbie?” Amara asked, seeing that Alistair was not here.
“He’s still consolidating his strength after his advancement; he even has no idea what’s happening in the continent now,” Valoros smiled.
Alistair is also an immortal, because they had already condensed battle insight in the Nexus continent.
After he became a tier 9, Alistair’s battle insight is automatically included, making him immortal.
…
After the preparation, a horrific battle ensued within the Nexus Continent.
This was later known as the Battle of Gods.
The cause is unknown, which led to a lot of hearsay spreading in the world unknowingly.
In this battle, 18 tier 9 powerhouses died and were sacrificed, with the Nexus Continent having 12 casualties, the Divine Continent having 4, and the Beast Continent having 2.
The people from the Arcane continent were too cunning, always hiding at the rear, and thus had no casualties.
…
Earlier, after they killed and sacrificed 11 powerhouses from Nexus Continent.
“Should we also kill this newbie?” Saks from the Arcane continent asked.
“Yes, a pity…” Fealan sighed, looking at Alistair feeling sorry, after all, he was also a student from Origin Arcana Institute.
“Just that, I think Valoros and the others didn’t remind him of this event,” Libra on the side didn’t know what expression to make.
“Anyway, he will revive later; just explain it to him. Just regard this as a lesson to always pay attention to your surroundings,” Fealan said seriously.
The three used all their strength to bombard Alistair, who still had no idea what was going on.
“What’s going on-” Alistair only saw a bright light and vague figures of people from the Arcane continent as he began to disintegrate.
“People from Arcane Continent, wait for me…” Alistair’s last thought, still not knowing what happened.
…
In the place where Alistair died, a faint phantom of Amara emerged.
“Poor kid, you were bullied badly,” Amara sighed at Alistair’s fate.
He was only promoted to tier 9 and had a bright future ahead of him, but he stumbled upon this catastrophe.
“Don’t worry; I’ll make sure you revive earlier, to repay the others…”
Amara, using her Initiate weapon, put her soul fragment and Alistair’s soul fragment, nurturing it with nature, to revive themselves earlier.
…
After the battle, the Nexus continent was torn into various bits, with only less than 10 percent of it still floating from the endless sea.
“It should be enough…” Malgron in the sky, looked at the torn Nexus continent as he felt the surging power that strengthened the world.
“Can you send me…” Malgron communicated with the instinctive world’s will.
As if hearing his words, a repulsing force wrapped around Malgron, sending him to the void.
…
Amidst the torn battlefield, the remaining powerhouses looked at the sky as they felt Malgron leaving the Etherium Realm.
“Is that lunatic really going to that evil thing?” Raesdius asked himself.
“Hmmm, don’t doubt that lunatic,” Alabaster said, looking at the sky.
“Huh! At least we are safe. We just need to wait, and everything will be over,”
Fealan sighed, hoping the Etherium Realm would hurry and upgrade to accommodate tier 10.
…
Countless years later, the Nexus Continent returned to calm as the people who were evacuated earlier came back.𝗈𝓋𝐞xt.𝗰𝑀
Although it was only a tenth of the land compared to the past, it was enough for them as very few came back.
With the liveliness of Nexus Continent, the battle between Peak Powerhouses gradually faded from memory.
However, as if a curse, corrosive mana suddenly penetrated the Land of Nexus Continent.
“What do you think?” Fealan asked Sylnor.
“It should be because of the previous battle; the barrier around the Nexus continent became fragile,” Sylnor said.
“Sigh, we can only cover the land with formations, I hope the corrosive mana will not spread,” Fealan sighed.
“Saks, it’s up to you,” Fealan said.
“I will do my best,” Saks said, looking at the corrosive mana that was invading the Nexus continent.
“I hope Malgron will not blame us too much.”
…
In the present time, in the Abyss:
You can see a man fighting a humongous evil aggregate monster as if he was strolling in the garden.
Upon closer look, you can see that his eyes were closed as if meditating.
After a while, his eyes opened.
“Hmmm? Is someone thinking of me?” Malgron murmured.
This man is Malgron, who was sent here to fight the evil aggregate that was coming for the Etherium Realm countless epochs ago.
Thanks to him, this evil aggregate that Malgron called the Abyss didn’t get closer to the Etherium realm.
While he was thinking, an abyss monster suddenly took the chance to attack, disintegrating his lower body.
“A very nice reaction, little monster,” Malgron only looked at the half of his body as he countered the attack, splitting the abyss monster into countless pieces using his bare hands.
As he fought, the disintegrated lower body suddenly grew out like nothing happened.
“Let’s do a warm-up after an epoch of sleeping,” Malgron said, as if he just woke up.
