A huge boom rang out from the eastern gate of the Pale city and shook every corner around it. Huge Meteor, which was two times bigger than eastern walls, crashed to the walls and completely destroyed the barrier, breaching the defenses. Immediately several hundred mages turned into meat pastes or ashes, eradicated without any resistance.

Smokes and flames rose as rubbles splattered around the east side of the city. From the thick smoke one could see silhouettes of several thousand people. A mage group cast a small whirlwind and cleared the smokes but became shocked before they could prepare another spell. On the huge meteor stood near to 2000 people, circled by a huge wall of shields. Each shield glittered with a blue light, radiating a soothing shine.

Even though some of them were still shocked by the situation, some were not. Immediately tens of spells flew towards the shields. There were no booms nor any damage. Spells just collided with shields and directly 'evaporated', turning into mana again.''Magic Resistance? What kind of a monster could do it? It's at the same level as Nullifying!''

''This is not important! Why Spider sea is not moving!?''If Arachne Queen has heard the words of these men, she would think they were crazy. Yet, the situation was reversed. The huge spider sea was still outside, fine and calm. Yet none of the spiders were moving. All of them had blank eyes like they have lost something more important their lives and souls.

Then loud shrieks covered the whole world, spiders all making pitiful sounds. They slowly gathered around the corpse of Arachne Queen and wept. As they were weeping, one of the spiders took a bite from Arachne Queen's body, then another and another. In an instant, Arachne Queen's body was completely gone. Among the spiders who ate, one of them started to radiate an aura of a ruler.

All spiders ceased weeping and the blank light was replaced by respect and resolve. The spider which had the ruler aura around it gazed towards Kong and Raiden. ''You knew my mother was in an illusion, yet refused to help.''It said with a low voice but it reverberated through the battlefield. Kong's gaze hardened but didn't say anything.

''I'll take that as an approval. This war is no longer ours, this is your war.''Spider said and walked off. Other spiders followed it's lead and disappeared from sights. As for the spiders waiting at the underground, all of them were not affected by the ruler aura of Spider. The spider was a newly ascended queen, after all, it still had to grow. All of them lay silently, their eyes blank, bodies frozen.

...

''Watch out for their shields! They have an extremely high magic resistance!''An adventurer shouted while running. Reaching to the side of others he directly turned and sent several enchanted arrows towards the incoming demon squad. They have locked down the eastern side to keep them at bay but because of this main gate was in a peril.

There were silent rules to wars, Heroes couldn't attack people other than Enemy Heroes. In the eyes of Arachne Queen, Sorceress not only broke that rule, she also killed near to all of her children. This was the reason she has gone berserk. So because of this rule, Kong nor Raiden could fight. There was an exception though.

8 dragons appeared in the air, their bodies completely covered by black flames. They descended at an incredible speed and slammed towards the demon army. All of them exploded and pillars of fire rose, sending waves of fire. Demons who were at the center of the explosion was completely dead, near to it were heavily injured while far ones only coughed some blood. In an instant 200 demon was killed!

Demon Lords directly looked towards the main gate. Gate once more opened, a fearsome aura spread out of it. Demon Lords were quite vigilant right now because of the cursed blood. They have lost 13 hundred people already and when added the recent 200 it was 1500 people! Yet it was insignificant compared to the losses of Humans. They have lost the support of Arachne and their Magicians were near to extinct right now.

Still, they continued to fight with the same ferocity. Especially seasoned veterans and adventurers. They were a pain for all demons. Most of them didn't care for their lives and fought like madmen. There was an incident where an adventurer fell from walls because of a spell. Demons directly surrounded her to kill but without expecting any help nor support woman directly destroyed her mana wheel and killed all the demons around her.

Another incident was the moment when an adventurer ascended to 2nd rank when fighting, and heavily injured one of the high-rank demons. Not only that,4 Demon Lords worked together to kill the man while other 2 Lords blocked the way of reinforcements. Yet man still managed to escape, killing a Demon Lord while doing it!

Some Demons were shaken, yet most of them felt their blood boiling with excitement. It had been a very very long time since they fought. If humans were brutal, Demons were 3 times more brutal! One of its examples is when an adventurer pierced the eye of a demon. Demon directly took out the arrow without any grunt and threw it towards the adventurer. With a frightening accuracy, demon pierced through the same eye Man shot him.

This also made each side wary of other. So when gates opened both sides looked towards it. At there stood a man with white black hair, stern look, and crimson red eyes. The man carried an ordinary spear, at the spear's tip was a small black flame. This man was Auber, Head Of Dryflame family.

Without saying anything Auber shook his spear and black flames enveloped his entire body. Grim didn't have any skill at using flames as he even injured himself during the process. Yet Auber could use flames as a protection and weapon at the same time. Yet, this was not the only use of it.

'Enchanting, God's Spark.'Magic God's eyes appeared on the sky, gazing towards Auber. Without giving Magic God any heed, Auber created a small Dry flame and fused it with the white spark he created with magic.''WHAT AUDACITY!''Magic God enraged by Auber's action. This was the same as ignoring her existence and rules. Yet before she could do anything, her eyes trembled and cracked.''HUMAN, I CURSE YOUR WHOLE LINEAGE. MAY THE ETERNAL UNIVERSE WITNESS, I SHALL NOT REST UNTIL YOU ARE DEAD!''

Many were confused and shocked by Magic God's anger. But only Hero realm people understood the real importance of the situation. Ruh was looking dumbly towards the sky.''How did he shatter the consciousness of Magic God?''It has to be known, Gods were always weakened when they descended. The reason 6 heroes were respected was not only because of their sacrifices but also their power that enabled them to fight with unrestrained high-gods.

When Dragon Sovereign talked about holding off against a high god, she was talking about descended High-Gods. If she were to go to the absolute region, she would be only someone at the level of a low god. This was the same for every people born in Chaos world. This also explained the terror against Gods people had. The peak existences of multiple races could only contend with low gods, some possibly mid gods.

But Magic God and Light God were exceptions. Their consciousness or powers were not restrained. They couldn't descend or ascend as they wanted, it's price was high but they could send a strand of their consciousness, as even a strand of it was not to be underestimated. It's power alone was at Unrestrained Low god level.'Is it because of the flame? 'Ruh didn't know the history of Dryflames or any other important families. He only knew the current situation of the world as he grew up in the strange dimension hidden in Emperor's cave.

But even his father, The Demon Emperor, was just born when God's era ended. He lived a childhood filled with pain and anguish at War of Races, so didn't have much knowledge about things. Even if he knew, he wouldn't back down from a fallen family like Dryflames. He himself alone could dominate every person in Chaos World, With the exception of Western Deserts' Protector. This was also one of the reasons he didn't send any troops to Western Deserts.

Looking towards the strange spark in Auber's hand, Ruh's eyes were filled with shock. He could sense an power at Hero Realm just from the spark. Auber clenched his fist and turned the spark into a dust then spilled them on Spear. Suddenly, a phoenix cry rang out and shook people's minds. Spear started to brighten more and more and a white pillar of light appeared.

A phoenix cry rang out once more and a shadow directly pierced through the light, arriving before battlefield. It was a phoenix as big as the city itself. Its feathers were pitch black like a bottomless abyss, even light was swallowed by black feathers. The sky darkened and earth shuddered. Auber, who didn't have any spear in his hands right now, bowed towards Phoenix.

''Ancestor Phoenix.''Auber's black hairs slowly turned white and only a strand was left. This meant one thing, he couldn't fight as a warrior anymore. Just a tiny bit more and he would die. Phoenix gazed at Auber with a warm yet sad look then turned towards the Ruh. This was the Spirit of the Spirit Weapon founder of Dryflame family used,'Phoenix'.His species were right now extinct, as he was the only Royal Phoenix in the existence.

Ruh's body trembled when he met the gaze of Phoenix. He felt the same feeling Kong felt, a sense of danger.'This Phoenix is stronger than me?'Thinking in his heart, Ruh took a step and appeared in front of Phoenix. They looked at each other for some time and directly flew towards a distant mountain range. Each of them knew that just one of their moves was enough to destroy the armies or cities. Both of them didn't want their people to die.

As Ruh and Phoenix disappeared, fighting continued. Auber entered the city again and directly went to Truman's place. Chicken Truman was now very busy, as he was constantly giving orders to several men to carry goods and supplies. The reserve people talked about was Truman himself, his wealth. It was quite shocking as his wealth was 3 times bigger than humanity's years of accumulated supplies. Though he mentioned several times his wealth was Humanity's wealth.

When Truman saw the sorry state of Auber and his full white hair, his heart ached a little. They have adventured and explored together as friends for years, saving and protecting each other constantly. Yet, Auber was still the one who suffered most. Not only he ceased to be an adventurer because of a Curse, he also had to sacrifice his own wife for the greater 'good'.Truman learned about Grim's escape and his deadly situation which made him very sad.

And he couldn't even think how much pain Auber felt every day. And right now, Auber lost his status as a warrior as well. He searched for many years to find many experts at Curses and Priests at healing but no avail. He spent huge amounts of wealth to find extraordinary treasures that could recover Auber's lost lifespan, but no avail.

No matter how much effort he put in, he couldn't find anything that could help Auber. He didn't think Auber was rash because of his action against Death God. It may have been a mistake, but that man was way too vicious. If not for Auber shouldering the curse's effects for them, all of the party would be exterminated.

He couldn't think of anything to console this man who suffered at the hands of fate. He could only curse the fate, nothing more. Auber more or less knew what Truman was thinking, yet didn't say anything. He didn't feel any pain for releasing the Spirit of Weapon nor losing his status. His only consolation was his and his sister's children. If not for them, he would just spend his lifespan to destroy the enemy.

He was a rash man, he liked to face danger and fight. He loved when he won a fight or hated when he faced with a setback. He loved to explore and meet new challenges. Yet, fate took everything from his hands. He lost his adventuring lifestyle, his power, and will.

Later, he met with a pair of stars that changed his life. They were the most beautiful thing he had seen in his life. He directly fell in love with them, his heart not willing to be away from them even for a second. That pair of stars gave him a pair of beautiful children, which he loved dearly. Even though stars were always away, he could still see their blinding light.

Yet, Yet again, fate had to take something from him again. This time, fate took the pair of stars. He could have refused, he could have tried to find another way but Stars were not willing. The pair of beautiful and kind stars were not willing to leave people in despair. Stars wanted them to live, even if she couldn't see them.

He felt like fate was against his existence, fate didn't like him. The universe was like a huge vulture, waiting the moment he fell to attack. Even so, he didn't fall. He still had some people to protect. He couldn't let them get harmed in any way. Even if both of them were stronger than him.

He was really excited when he heard his little son forged a Spirit Weapon. He thought he could finally see the light for his son to touch and rise in this chaotic world. Yet, again fate intervened. It may be due to Aeneas's carelessness or just luck but he knew it was a play of fate. Fate was still fighting with him. Fate wanted him dead.

He was worried, not because of the possibility of his son hating him, he was worried because he knew fate would somehow intervene again. And it did indeed. He only heard the news after Grim was healed but this made him aware of the fact more. There was a hidden enmity fate had with him. Was it his past life? He didn't know.

Fate wanted him dead, played tricks on him. When it was not enough, it played with his family. He feared it would still be not enough, he thought fate would now play with his friends and race as well. He couldn't figure out the reason but there was something clear.

If fate wanted him dead, then he would stand high against it. He didn't feel any fear towards the fate, he felt fear towards the plot fate prepared for his dear children remained from stars. The moment these thoughts passed from his mind, he heard a rumbling sound. Auber directly looked around, but he couldn't see anyone. Everything was endless grey. He saw 7 lines, each of them flashing with multicolored lights. A name appeared on his mind the moment he saw them

'Lines Of Binding'

A sound rumbled, rupturing his ears and bleeding his eyes.

''To escape from fate, one must be solitary. To get rid of fate, one must be decisive. To break The Fate, one must break the universe's restrain itself.''

...

In a hut flying through the air, an old man was sitting while reading a book. Book's cover had a small image of a Devil, smiling evilly like it was real. In front of the old man stood another chair. A black haired man was sitting in the chair, pouring tea for himself and his master. He had the same white pupilless eyes as the old man. Suddenly, both people felt a ripple and their eyes widened.

''How!?''

Without hesitating both of them vanished from the sight. The moment both men disappeared, 2 auras surged through the Absolute Region and shook the divine souls of all Gods. Even Celeste, Cannibal, and Kate were trembling with fear. Then both auras vanished.

In the Western Deserts, huge earthquakes surfaced and sand storms appeared as wide as 100 km. Yet this was not the end of it. Suddenly, whole Western Deserts descended into a Chaos and people started to turn insane from the disasters. Before anyone could understand what was happening a huge sound rang out that everyone in Chaos World heard.

''Alright, Arihan. I'll help them.''

When Celeste looked down from Absolute Region, her eyes widened to the point of tearing apart. She could see that the Western Desert was slowly rising but this was the not the main source of her shock. The reason was, she could see a tail as long as a continent and 2 huge wings that could cover the surface of planet.2 huge wings flapped and sent countless tornados and tsunamis through the sea. Even the other side of Grand Barrier was shaken.

Before a huge body disappeared Celeste saw a familiar face. When she saw who it was, her whole existence shuddered.''Absolute God Ramla!?''
