The painting world

Aragon was panting as he clutched his hand. His complexion was exceedingly pale, but his thoughts were clear

Suddenly the space rippled and Chrono Alpha appeared. He arrogantly floated with his hands folded and asked sarcastically

- I bet earthlings hate you now?

Aragon smiled wryly and said

- Yeah, I informed my right hand, if something went wrong he would spread the information that it was my conspiracy all along, that my employees were also victims and didn't know about it

- Oh? Quite farsighted and kindhearted of you to not make your subordinates suffer for your mistake, but what does it have to do with us?

Chrono Alpha was clearly doubtful why would Aragon mention this irrelevant information

Aragon grinned in response and said

- By the way, I'll have to personally make speech to convince the world that I am the demon

Chrono Alpha realized his hidden meaning and his gaze turned cold

- You think you still have chance to escape from us?

Suddenly Aragon's figure faded like mirage and the world started collapsing. Spatial ripples tore the space and void

- Dammit!

Chrono Alpha yelled as he grit his teeth. Clock mechanism in his eyes spun backwards and considerably slowed down the process of collapse. Then he hastily tore the void and escaped

3 days have passed since the last battle

In the end Aragon managed to escape, but his sovereignty was partially taken over by the fallen gods as they got their hands on almost half of the realm fragments that Aragon held

After the great battle 9 supreme entities looked gloomy as they discussed

- Lord progenitor's decree forbid us from directly influencing the world, however, we can't let these blasphemers go, they need to pay for their sins

Chrono Alpha said coldly

- Don't be so coldhearted. They knew nothing and were nothing but tools used for Aragon's ambition. They don't need to pay with their lives, some kind of limitation will do

Life replied crisply and slowly, trying to pacify the god of time

- That won't happen. Should we just wait until these mortals are brainwashed by our nemesis? Never!

Hades said hatefully. He was the one who suffered the most in this battle

- Hades is right. But we have less than half of realm fragments in our hands. The army we can send is limited, I suggest I open the hell gates and show mortals what true suffering is like

Lucifer said evilly

- No! I will be the one! I must be the one! I will send the creatures of darkness from the underworld and eliminate their hope, corrupt their world and end their delusional pitiful life of peace!

Hades didn't give up

- Shut up, you both, no matter what, they are in our hands, how about we play with those pitiful lives?

Chrono Alpha said coldly

- What do you have in mind?

Pyromania demon, who was unusually silent chided in

Chrono Alpha grinned and said

- How about a game of chess?

Maven's expression changed as he said in deep voice

- You mean our war trophies? You kept them all this time?

Arkavine laughed

- My, such a gift, though their power will drop, it's more than enough to deal with bunch of mortals

- Right, that guy left deep impression on me. Even if he was degraded to mortal, he would annihilate armies with his skills without problem

Lucifer added excitedly

- What overkill

Death, who was cold and spoke the least couldn't help but add too

- Then that's settled

Chrono Alpha ended the meeting with these words

Couple of days earlier

,, How is this possible? I actually want to take a dump? ''

Dung's eyebrows were twitching. No player would ever have feeling of wanting to poo in game, something really wasn't right. He couldn't log out either

Dung's mind was in chaos, but his brain didn't work like others and his composure soon returned

- That's not what main characters of those novels would do. The panicking ones die first. As for those who deal with every shit thrown at them, they survive longer

Though he was reassuring himself, he was still very worried, what if he was stuck here forever?

[ Ding! ]

System notice appeared. Dung didn't hesitate and read the message. The more he read, the paler his face became

- Fuck, not only we are stuck here, but we have just one life?!

Dung was feeling helpless and frustrated, but there was nothing he could do

Soon his playful side subsided as he was in deep thoughts for an hour. Finally he came to conclusion

- I need to get stronger to face what is to come. Others are already far ahead of me, I'm just the beginner, I can't afford to slack, as for anything else, I'll leave it up to fate

The sky was purple

The storm was brewing

Azerott was pacing back and forth with deep frown on his face

The world was changing

This was no longer a game. Dung felt this world was way too real and apparently it actually was, but it was no longer stable as the ownership of the world was split between opposing sides. In this clash the residents were bound to suffer the most

Dung kept working on skill merging for a whole following week

Meanwhile, the fallen have taken action and sent massive army which was ordered to slaughter players and NPCs alike

Aragon didn't stay idle and made a big announcement to prepare players for what was to come and tempt them with rewards
