Chapter 57 Part 1) Time For Action (Patreon)

Dong! Dong!

Bells tolled through the air. Desaray expression was sour. She did not know what to make of this. Lilith, on the other hand, was clenching her fists in anger. “That bastard actually set up such a brutal system!?”

 “Lilith, you know what is happening?” Desaray asked. She really needed as much information as she could get at this time.

“Battle Of The Gods. It’s a kind of extermination event where the gods use the world deemed to be destroyed as a battleground to gain resources in the higher realm. They do this when the mortals of the realm begin to show signs of becoming a threat to them. We need to return now!” Lilith grabbed Desaray, and her body flashed, disappearing from where she once was, taking Desaray with her.

As soon as they left, cracks began to appear in the sky. A man wearing ancient armor walked out of one of those cracks, lightning arched around his body. “Hahaha! The battle has once more begun!”

“Thor, let’s see who has the last laugh this time.” Another person in ancient armor stepped out of a crack and looked at Thor.

“Oh? Zeus, you want another round?” Thor’s lips curled up. “Let’s let’s begin!”

Desaray and Lilith reappeared inside Serenity. They were standing at the gates of Serenity City. “Lilith, I will call an emergency meeting. I will need you to handle explaining the situation.”

“No problem. I will also send out a shadow clone to ask His Highness for help. He will be able to send more people to help defend your kingdom.” Lilith answered. She saw Desaray’s expression change, so before she could say no, Lilith continued: “It is best to get as much help as we can. Even with my barrier up, there is no telling if they can break it or not. If you really want to protect your people, then it is best to do what you did before. Bite your tongue and ask him for help. This way, you have time to make yourself and your people stronger. Only by rising up against the so-called gods will you find a path to survival.”

“Alright.” Desaray knew this was true. She just hated to think she would need to owe that man even more now.

In the meeting room, everyone was gathered with an image of Desaray floating in the air. She still had to stay away from some of the people here, so she had to sit in the other room to conduct the meeting. “First, let me thank you all for rushing here. Our world is in dire straights. The gods who are overseeing our world have decided we are no longer needed and have become a threat. The Battle Of The Gods is just as it sounds. The gods will begin to fight it out with one another. Leaving mass destruction in their path. They do not care for the well-being of any creature on the surface. They can destroy whole continents in an instant if they so wish. You can say we will need to grow stronger and faster.”

“As you heard, the gods are entering our world. Those gods are the ancient gods from all of our worlds. I know the gods of my world but not those of the other world and the second world that has been merging with ours. But what we need now is strength. So Juna, Forcefully evacuate all the wood elves to an empty spot within our territory. Do the same for all clans and races around us. What we need now is to protect, gather, and raise warriors! We need to make it known that the people of this new world are not going down without a fight.” Desaray had come to a decision they had the means they should use it. Whether these people will be happy or not, they will soon come to terms with being forced to move without consent.

“I will do it now.” Juna left the room. She needed to concentrate to bring so many people at once.

“Oinktera, you will begin bringing our people back to the grind. We need to level up as many people as possible as quickly as possible. Since we will need higher-level dungeons, we will need to form a network of underground tunnels that will allow us to enter the dungeons from safe locations. You will work with Regal on this. We need to get this done as quickly as possible, so use as many men as you need.” They were basically going to have to go underground for some time. “We will also begin expanding the underground shelter to form a full underground city that can house everyone. Penlopia, Garent, I will need you two to handle these things. Get your best people on it.”

“Understood.” Both Princess Penlopia of the dwarf tribe and Garent, the young king of the dragons, replied at the same time.

“Dormar, your clan will help evacuate those still at the other base. Take Darkness with you to help aid you. We will be leveling people up in turn. The raid is the best place for leveling up, and there are many more floors to go, so we can use that for a big chunk of our leveling purposes, but we will need to enter all dungeons so we can form a network of resources as well.” The raid was all they really needed for leveling, but the resources there were too slim. “We will also begin activating the golems…”
