The Silver Continent was a Continent that consisted of mainly humans, with beastmen being the race with the lowest population on the continent. The continent was the fourth largest and was considered a twin continent of its closest neighbor, the Gold Continent. Even though it was considered far weaker because of its lack of global powerhouses.
The continent was cut up into four regions depicting the four directions. Each Region had its star country which represented them. They were as followed:
Aloe in the North, Carpo in the East, Memphis in the West, and Lore in the South.
With the Aloe Kingdom now under colonial rule, the Dragna clan were now the rulers of the North.
Each region had a minimum of 20 countries, since the Silver Continent almost has 100 countries in total.
A portion of the leaders of these countries were now gathered together to discuss something important.
When he awoke from his slumber, the first thing Miko did was to attack several countries simultaneously. This of course led to the countries waging war against the Dragna Empire. However, what happened couldn’t be considered a war.
It was just a massacre.
One of the countries that was attacked lost its royal family, and attacked the Dragna Empire in a fit of rage. Their armies however was crushed by Raven, who Miko finally allowed to participate in the battle.
He destroyed the army before it even reached the border, after which the Dragna army came and stripped the defeated army of all of their weapons and equipment. Their actions were like that of scavengers rather than an official army.
After the Dragna army had finish taking anything valuable, they returned to the empire like nothing was wrong. Miko then paid a personal visit to the country that had lost its royal family, and slaughtered all those who were in charge and took the country for himself. Killing anyone who objected his rule.
When the other countries that were attacked saw this, they decided to form an alliance to crush the Dragna Empire. This resulted in a huge war that involved the entire Northern Region of the Silver continent.
This was the war that Miko really showed the world just how terrifying he was.
When the war first broke out between the alliance and the Dragna Empire, the Dragna Empire was pushed into a corner almost instantly. The reason was simple. The Dragna Empire was a newly founded colony, thus its foundation wasn't solid at all. The new soldiers that had fell under the empire’s command didn’t feel the same loyalty towards the empire, that they would towards their native countries. As such, they didn’t fight with everything they had, and were prone to run away when the odds were against them.
In the end, the ones who did most of the fighting were those who were loyal to Miko and the Dragna Kingdom. This caused the alliance to get the upper hand early out. However, a true war couldn’t be won in one battle.
The war went on for a few days with the alliance destroying the Dragna soldiers, but on the fifth day of war, everything changed. Miko had taken the field, and he had done so with his team behind him.
When news of his appearance had reached the leaders of the alliance, they became nervous. They all knew that the soldiers they were fighting were only canon fodder, and that Miko and the team that he had were the true force behind the empire’s military force. Their appearance meant that Miko was going to take this war seriously from now.
There was also the fact that behind Miko, they existed the five branches of the Dragna clan that could reduced their alliance to nothing but playthings if they wanted to.
Yet, the chaotic slaughter that they imagined didn’t begin with Miko’s appearance. In fact, Miko didn’t lift a finger. All he did was send a message to not only his army, but the entire Northern Region.
“To anyone that can bring me the head of one of the alliance leaders, I’ll make them a king and give them a supreme art from the Era of the Gods.”
That was all he said before leaving with his team.
When people first heard this, they became skeptic and even mocked Miko saying that he was desperate. But as if to shut those naysayers up, Miko made a grand display.
Above the Imperial Capital five golden lights flashed, and from it five majestic beings made their appearance.
One was an azure lion-faced demon dragon with a lustrous mane. This was the Primus Branch Guardian, Ušumgallu aka Gallu.
One was a golden serpent with two legs, wings, and a shining horn on its forehead. This was the Secundus Branch Guardian, Bašmu.
One was an azure and gold dragon with hind legs resembling the talons of an eagle, feline forelegs, a long neck and tail, a horned head, a snake-like tongue, and a silver crest. This was Tertitus Branch Guardian, Sirrush.
One was the only humanoid of group, surrounded by starry benevolent aura with a red beard and red curly hair. He was the Quartus Branch Guardian, Star God Lahmu.
The final one was a seven-headed Dragon with the feathered wings of a bird and the terrifying eyes of a lion. This was the Quintus Branch Guardian, Mušmaḫḫū.
Miko was seen sitting on the head of Gallu who was in the center, as if he was simply bathing in the sun. He stayed like this for a hour before disappearing all together.
This display shut everyone’s mouth. Miko brought out five monsters to casually bath in the sun, that had sent chills down everyone’s spines. They doubted that these monsters were Miko’s secret weapons, otherwise he wouldn't have shown them off so easily.
This also showed that Miko wasn’t desperate in the least. He could easily destroyed the alliance with these monsters, but he simply chose not to. This made everyone realize that trying to fight against this monster of a kid was suicide. In fact, it was better to get on his good side, by any means necessary.
The next couple days the alliance who were hard pressing the Dragna Empire lost their leaders one by one. Either they were attacked by other countries trying to curry favor the Dragna Empire, or they were killed by those whose greed got the better of them, and wanted the position of king and the arts from the Era of the gods. There were even cases when the leaders were killed by their own men, and had their heads cut off and brought before Miko to appease his anger towards them.
Whatever the reason, all the alliance leaders fell in less than a week.
The war naturally ended after that, and the countries that rose against Miko were absorbed into the Dragna Empire without resistance. Miko kept his word and rewarded anyone who brought him the head of the alliance leaders by making them king of that respective leader's respective country. He also grave them techniques as well. This was to purposely spread those techniques back into the world so that future wars can become even more chaotic.
Everything Miko had done was all to make the world the hellhole it once was.

Carpo Empire.
The star of the east. It was at least three times the size of the Dragna Empire, and boasted an army who could’ve flatten the Aloe Kingdom in a day, without the help of third party weapons.
The leader of this powerful empire wasn’t actually an emperor, but an Empress. Her name was Chloe Carpo, a young Empress who inherited her throne after beating her brothers in a contest to decide their father’s heir.
She was nicknamed the Moon Princess, which was similar to the name of Artemis’s Proxy Lunar Princess, Lune.
Chloe was sitting around a table with six other persons, who were all monarchs like herself.
“We’re all here to discuss something that’s become a looming shadow over our minds for the last couple days. The newly founded Dragna Empire.”
Chloe announced.
“A few weeks ago, ally countries of our individual nations have been ruthlessly attacked and have fallen under the tyranny of the empire’s Heavenly Demon King. Because of this, the Dragna Empire now rules over 11 countries.”
She shook her head.
“The other countries in the Northern Region had already began swearing their allegiance to them. So it’s better to say that they rule the entire Northern Region of the continent.”
She said.
“They may look like a far away threat, but my instincts tell me that their emperor isn’t satisfied with the Northern region alone. They might set their sights on our Eastern Region next.”
“That is a reasonable assumption.”
One of the leaders agreed.
He was the emperor of the Herse Empire, Jerold Herse.
“From what we’ve seen of this brat, he’s a heartless monster who doesn’t only know when to restrain himself, but knows how to defeat his opponents in ways they couldn't even imagine. A terrifying existence.”
He said.
“But there’s the issue of who’s backing him.”
Another leader added.
He was the king of the largest kingdom in the eastern region, that could rival an empire, Kingsley Elara of the Elara Kingdom.
“I don’t need to remind everyone of just who are a part of the Dragna Clan. So despite knowing who they are, do we really have a chance?”
He asked.
“Yes.”
Chloe answered.
“You all should know me by now, from our previous engagements and scuffles. I’m not the type to engage in a battle I have no chance of winning. The chances must be at 75% in my favor before I take a risk. That’s my policy.”
It was that policy that made her able to defeat her brothers and inherit the throne.
“Then, Moon Princess, what’s up your sleeve that makes you believe that the odds are in your favor?”
The Elara King asked.
Chloe smiled.
“The Asgard Empire is backing us.”
“?!”
When Chloe said that all of the other leaders jumped out of their seats.
“W-What did you say?”
The Herse Emperor asked in disbelief.
“You heard me. The Asgard empire has decided to lend us a hand in destroying the Dragna Clan.”
The Asgard empire was the world oldest empire, as well as one of, if not the most powerful. Having a mammoth like them behind you, everyone in the room knew what that meant.
“Wait. Before we get too excited. How much will they help us out?”
Another leader asked.
She was the Empress of one of the empires in the Eastern Region, the Leda Empire, Sade Leda.
“We all should keep in mind that compared to the other six continents, the silver Continent is by far the weakest. We have the lowest number of XXX Class, lowest number proxies, and the only continent that doesn’t have a global powerhouse. There’s no way the great Asgard empire will lend small countries and empires like us there full support. It would be more logical to say that they want to use us to further test the limits of the Dragna Empire and the Dragna Clan.”
She argued.
“I agree with Sade.”
Another leader interjected.
He was the emperor of the Carme Empire, Carlton Carme.
“Did the Asgard Empire send anyone that could protect us if Nero and the others moved to crush us?”
“Actually, Carme. Yes, yes they did.”
“Who?”
Sade asked.
“Skylar.”
“The Thunder Emperor?!”
Everyone was shocked again.
Thunder Emperor Skylar was the Proxy of Thor and was considered the Asgard Empire’s Trump Card.
“Why? Why would they send their strongest general?”
“That’s how much they want to crush the Dragna Empire.”
Chloe replied.
“Since we’re revealing our cards we would like to reveal ours as well.”
Said one of the last two leaders.
She was the Empress of the Kale Empire, Erika Kale.
Beside her was the emperor of the Sinope Empire, Kevin Sinope. The Sinope and the Kale Empires had a tight alliance since the times of their founding. The two nations have never been at odds and are so close that they’re considered sister nations. Even the monarchs from each married each other on a regular basis.
“What card do you two have to play?”
Chloe asked with a curious tone.
“We hired some pretty amazing people.”
Said Erika.
“Demon Monk Hanzou from the Wakoku Nation, Dark Angel Ezra, and Tyrant Human God Lennox.”
“?!”
Everyone was shocked again. Every name that Erika spoke belonged to a famous warrior who could and has shook the world countless times over.
First was Demon Monk Hanzou. He was a member of the Imperial Families in the Wakoku Nation and belonged to one of the Warrior Monk Clans. He was the Proxy of Benkei who was a famous warrior monk in feudal Japan. He was said to be so powerful and had such great durability that no one believe that he was a human.
In fact, their was a myth that Benkei that was the child of a temple god or a demon, because of his strength and power even as a child.
As his Proxy and descendent, Hanzou is famous for his durability, strength, and ferocity. So much, it was considered suicide to fight him in fair fist fight.
The other one was Dark Angel Ezra. Proxy of the Great Demon King Paimon, who was the same class of demon as Beleth. He was also a former archangel and ruler in heaven before falling from grace. As his Proxy, Ezra possesses unmatched demon powers, as well as angelic abilities. But that isn’t what makes Ezra so terrifying. It’s the fact that he was the disciple of history’s greatest demon Proxy, Nine Hells Dante.
Ezra was thought the Demon Arts of Lucifer as well as those of Paimon. There was a rumor that he also trained under the Seven Swords of Lucifer for a time, which meant that he had knowledge of the greatest sword techniques in the world.
With all this, Ezra was undoubtedly one of the strongest demon proxies out there right now.
Yet, even with the previous two being the monsters they are, they pale in comparison to the monster that is the God of Humans, Lennox.
Despite being called things like monster or god, the person himself didn’t like being addressed in such a way. He would also tell others that he was just a human and no more.
This was the truth. The tyrant Lennox was a human all through. If you trace his bloodline starting from the beginning of time you would find nothing but humans. Ordinary humans to state.
None of them have ever been Curse or blessed by any higher beings or have they ever used a godly weapon or a demon artifact. They were just pure humans.
Why the emphasis on humans?
Because being human is Lennox greatest pride.
Lennox is a rare existence in this world crawling with gods, demons, and all kinds of beastmen. He has never relied on another race a day in his life to win a fight.
A being like that being able to become a Tyrant in a way was truly amazing. Considering that he doesn’t even know a single technique that was created by another race.
In fact, they are those who consider him to be even more impressive than the likes of Nero, Kimiko, or Nova. Reason being, unlike him they were all born with superior bloodlines and were taught by supreme masters.
Lennox became strong on his own, with his own strength, by struggling like a human and never giving up. He is the personification of human persistence and tenacity.
However, don’t be mistaken. Lennox isn’t famous for being a human who was persistent. He’s famous for his overwhelming strength.
Out of all the Tyrants, he holds the record of being the youngest and the fastest to become a Tyrant. Doing so at the age of 30, and it only took one battle. That’s right. Lennox fought and killed some of the world strongest proxies all at once.
This was something that not even Nero could’ve done at his age.
There was also a rumor that he slapped a god after killing his Proxy. But this was just a rumor, no one knew if it was true. But what was true was that Lennox was an existence too terrifying to be called a simple human. Hence why he’s called the Human God or the Ultimate Human.
“This is better than I expected.
Chloe suddenly got excited.
“Thunder Emperor Skylar was a gift sent from heaven, but Demon Monk Hanzou and Dark Angel Ezra made this war a shoe-in. And yet, you’re telling me that the Human God is backing us as well?!”
She could no longer control herself and burst out laughing.
“Skylar alone was enough to stall the Dragna Clan, but with Lennox it’s a whole different ball game.”
Her eyes shone with greed.
“We can take the Northern Region for ourselves and get rid of Nero and the rest who are backing that brat!”
Lennox was indeed able to fight Nero, but Chloe drowned in her fanatic worship for the Human God forgot something very important.
Nero was still the strongest Tyrant to ever live. (Chao Tian is excluded because he’s a Proxy now)
This was something that every tyrant had to admit, even Lennox himself. So if a fight broke out between the two of them, Lennox would be in trouble.
Or would he?
Nothing in war is certain. It’s because of this why many people love conflicts, and the conflict of the Silver Continent still had many twists and turns to come.
The Warring States of the Silver Continent is about to begin!
Somewhere in the world.
Ringo, one of the leaders of the New Era, was on a phone call.
“Yo, Lennox. I have a request from one founding member to the next.”
He smiled as he spoke.
“Could you kill Nova for me?”
