It was another peaceful day in the Primus World. The citizens were going about with their daily routines, while the majestic beasts flew about in the air and ran about on the ground.
On a hill that overlooked entirety of this world, several cloaked figures stood together.
The one at the center stepped out and spoke.
“Begin.”
Immediately after his words fell, overwhelming magic could be felt surging from the figures’ bodies.
This caused the entire Primus World to feel as if it was being suppressed.
Back at Xia, a wide smile appeared on the faces of Nero and Nova.
“Looks like it's finally beginning.”
Said Nova.
“Took them long enough.”
Nero got up and shouted.
“We're being invaded, all men prepare for war!”
Meanwhile inside a dark room in the palace, Miko sat in a corner grasping a jet black case.
The moment he felt the suppressing feel, his eyes shone in the dark and sharp fangs revealed themselves.
Back at the hill, the group of cloaked figures continued to pour out their power while chanting various spell words.
Each word that was spoken increased the pressure on the world and before long the citizens fell to their knees and their bodies trembled.
The cloaked figure who stood out clasped his hands together and shouted.
“[Dimensional Shift]!”
The whole world suddenly came to a halt as if time was stopped. And then-
*Crack!*
A large crack appeared in reality itself. The crack spread like a spider web and covered the world as if it was glass.
*Shatter!*
Reality then shattered with the people and animals in it. It then fixed itself back as if it was a video being rewound.
In a few seconds everything returned to normal and World was peaceful again.
In fact it was too peaceful.
That's because all the people and animals were no longer there.
“It's a success, Elder.”
One of cloaked figures spoke to the one standing in front.
He removed the cloak and revealed his azure hair and golden eyes.
“Good. This way we can fight until we we're satisfied without worrying about the citizens.”
Raven then turned his attention to the east.
“Bring it on, Krow. Today will be your last.”
At this time Krow stood at the eastern end of the world.
“An isolation barrier? I see. So this is your answer Raven.”
Hatred was burning in his eyes.
“Then so be it. You will die along with them.”
A hole formed behind him and from it four beings wearing faceless masks.
“Report.”
The four them immediately kneeled.
“Everything is ready for His Excellency to take the throne! The armies are ready, the Elders have also ready their own teams, and lastly our allies are patiently waiting for your signal!”
A smile appeared on Krow's face as he nodded in satisfaction.
“Good. If everything's ready then there's no longer any need to idle.”
He waved his hand in front of him.
“Begin!”
“Yes!”
Other than the ones at Xia, everyone else had disappeared from the world.
No, it was the other way around. It was everyone here who disappeared from the Primus World and was brought to a new dimension.
Raven doing this was the signal to commence the war for both sides.
At the palace Nero was walking with steps filled with glee. He walked upon a stage that over looked the entire city.
Before him where close to a million soldiers with solemn expressions opposite of his smiling face.
“First allow me to thank you for sticking by me even after everything I've done. I mean let's be honest. I suck as a king. I'm lazy, I drink all day and only good for partying with women. That's why I ask you this who have showed me this much loyalty…….Are you stupid?”
Confusion swept over the army when Nero said that. But he ignored them and continued.
“I mean I just said it myself, I'm a horrible king. Don't get me wrong, it's not I'm incompetent or anything. I just don't want to be king.”
The more Nero spoke the more confused they got.
“But even after all that you still choose me over Krow. And I must say that moved my heart. Who would expect that there would be so many people that were loyal to the point of stupidity.”
Nero started laughing.
Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.
But even though he was mocking them, not a single soldier had a frown on their face. They all knew what kind of person Nero was from the start. If this was enough to piss them off they would've switched camps a long time ago.
The reason they didn't proved that they had unshakable faith in Nero. They respected him, they admire him, they idolized him.
To them, there was no one more qualified to lead them than the man in front of them.
Nero who knew that smiled.
“With such stubborn loyalty even I would feel obliged to live up to your expectations.”
The smile immediately left Nero's face.
“People of the Primus Branch! I swear this on the names of my Grandmother Tiamat and my Grandfather Augustus, that we will come out victorious and eliminate the people foolish enough to invade our world, and the traitorous pigs who led them here!”
“OHH!”
The soldiers suddenly roared excitedly.
“And I promise that I will act like someone truly worthy of loyalty and personally bring you victory!”
“OHHHH!”
“Watch careful and marvel at what the man who spat in the faces of the gods are capable of!”
“OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH!”
The soldiers shouts were so loud that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they caused the entire world to shake.
It was at this momens, that a loud sound came from the east. When everyone looked in that direction, they saw cracks appearing in the sky.
*BAM!*
It sound as if something was pounding on a wall. More cracks appeared and then-
*BOOM!*
Apart of the sky shattered and gigantic fist appeared as if it bore through the sky itself.
“Here they come!”
A soldier shouted.
Another hand suddenly appeared and the two of them began to rip the sky open like it was paper.
“Quite a grand entrance.”
Nova walked up beside Nero and said with a smile.
Nero looked beside him and also smiled.
“This one seems to be your guest though.”
“Yeah, I can tell.”
A giant pair of red eyes appeared within the darkness that was beyond the sky. The eyes flickered when they looked in the direction Xia before disappearing.
The sounds of trumpets playing resounded through the world as a bright light shot out of it.
The light then turned into a sun which fell towards Xia.
*BOOM!*
However a gigantic foxtail slapped the sun back to where it came from and it exploded in the darkness and illuminated it.
What they saw inside were an ocean of enemies that were all dressed differently.
“Charge!”
A powerful voice resound from the darkness, and all the enemies swarmed in by the thousands.
So many than poured in at once than it almost seemed as if they formed a waterfall.
It wasn't long before the land and air was covered with enemies. One glance could tell that they far outnumbered Nero's army as the number of them continued to raise drastically by the minute.
It wasn't long before they covered all the way to Xia.
“Halt!”
Another voice rang out and the soldiers all came to stop.
The ocean of enemies then open up a path and showed the silhouette of a man in a luxurious purple and gold armor.
He was Krow Dragna.
When Nero saw him he smiled and jumped.
He landed in front of the gigantic army.
Him appearing in front Krow caused a huge uproar, not in his own army but Krow's.
Nero was recognized as one of the strongest beings alive. His name was enough to end wars and more than enough to start them.
He was a god among men. So no one can blame them for simultaneously taking several steps back.
However, Krow showed no signs of fear in front of the living legend. That's because in Krow's eyes no one comes near his father in prowess.
“Yo, Uncle. Quite the group you have behind you.”
Nero spoke with a casual tone
“Out of respect for my brother, I'll give you a chance Gamiko. Surrender.”
Said Krow.
Hearing that, Nero grinned and said-
“F-u-c-k y-o-u.”
Krow's eyebrows twitched when he heard that. But Nero continued.
“By the way, what right do you have to try to claim my throne? Because you're Augustus’ son. Keep dreaming, moron. This place was created for my father, not you, Bastard.”
Krow's body flinched when he heard that.
“Oh? Did I hit a nerve? Did calling you a bastard anger you? If so, fuck your feelings.”
A murderous aura started leaking from Krow's body.
“You arrogant piece of shit. Even when you're at death's door you're still talking tough!”
“Me at death's door? Hahahaha! I never knew you were such a comedian Krow!”
A savage grin appeared on a Nero's face.
“Do you think your army is enough to kill me? Or is it those cowards hiding in the back?”
Nero stretched his arms out and loudly declared.
“Listen up you pieces of shit! The only thing that can kill me in this world are Higher Beings! In other words true gods! You frauds aren't even worthy enough to lick the bottom of my shoe!”
*BOOOM!*
A loud explosion erupted near in the center of the army. A golden image shot out and headed towards Nero.
“Nero, You son of a bitch!”
“Oh, Jace, huh.”
“Die!”
A gigantic sun shot down towards Nero, who showed no signs of evasion with his arms still spread.
*Boom!*
A giant black lotus suddenly came out of nowhere and slammed into the sun.
The black lotus completely absorbed the sun and shot towards Jace.
*BOOOOM!*
A huge explosion occurred in the sky but it soon devoured by a blackhole and disappeared.
Jace glared at the Kimiko who gracefully landed between Nero and Krow.
“I am the queen of Niflheim and Primus Branch, Kimiko Dragna! I dare anyone to step forward and lay a single finger on my family and my second home! But just to be clear, that will be the last thing you do--”
“Grams, you people talk too much.”
A calm voice cut Kimiko's speech short.
“Miko? Where are you?”
Kimiko said as she looked around.
Nero and Krow also looked around. The reason they did so is because they surprising couldn't pin point Miko's exact location, which shouldn't be possible.
It was then that Kimiko spotted something several km up in the air.
On a floating island, there was someone looking down on the on ocean of enemies.
It was Miko.
(Hey, Miko! What are you doing?!)
Tiamat shouted in his head. In response Miko placed his finger on his lips.
“Shh.”
He lifted the case he was holding over his shoulder.
“What a beautiful sight. Don't you agree?”
His eyes scanned the ocean of people that stretched further than the eye could see.
He had a tranquil expression on his face which confused on those who saw it.
The black case on his shoulder than started to move as if something that was trapped inside was trying its best to break out.
“Oh? You want to come out already? Well, guess you're right. It's war after all.”
Krow's eyes nearly popped out of his head when he saw Miko with the case.
“My father's weapon!”
He wanted to move towards Miko but he was in Nero's strike zone, if he was careless he would lose his life.
Miko ignored him and took out what was inside.
It was a golden ball with marking on it.
Miko touched the ball and it turned into golden mist. The mist immediately began to wrap itself around his arm.
A blinding light flashed which drew the attention of everyone there, when it faded they saw a 16-year-old boy standing with a 6ft long golden sword. His right arm was covered by golden armor and silver chain wrapped around it. The boy's body was covered with a sinister gold and black aura, he some strange marking in the right side of his face.
“He can actually use Vastator?! Impossible!”
Krow roared at the top of his lungs. He couldn't believe the sword he tried to use for the last 10,000 years was now being wield by someone else.
Miko used his purple eyes to scan the crowd again.
“What a nostalgic feeling. How long as it been since you last fought this many people, partner? 5000? 10,000 years?”
The sword moved up and down as if communicating with him.
“Hm, is that so?”
A grin so sinister that even devils pale in comparison appeared on Miko's face.
“I guess you're right.”
He leaped off the floating island.
“None of that matters! Only thing matters now is how to slaughter the pigs in front of us!”
*BOOOOOOM!*
Miko crashed into the earth and blew away thousands of soldiers.
When the dust cleared Miko stepped forward while covered in a sinister aura.
“No more talking! It's a fucking slaughter party!”
*Boom!*
He swung the sword and rip dozens apart.
“You brat!”
Countless enemies charged at him all at once. But Miko didn't cower, he grinned and rushed forward.
Several men swung down their swords on him and he swung his in return.
*Boom!*
Dozens of severed bodies flew up in the air.
Five more sent terrifying attacks towards him, but before it could reach him Miko disappeared.
“Wha?!”
“[Bladed World]!”
Miko popped in front of them and started to swing his sword wildly. Bodies were cut like paper and flew all over the place.
Not only bodies, even nearby mountains and islands were cut into pieces. When he was done blood rained down on the earth and dyed one section of the army red.
“Hahahahahahahaha!”
Miko released a mad laugh and plunged further into the army.
He stabbed and man in the chest and then swung his sword and not only cut the man into pieces but even a hundred more.
Countless people encircled him. He smiled and the chain on his arm unwrapped itself.
Miko then released the sword and grabbed the chain.
“Die!”
He swung the chain around and the sword made a circle and cut through the men like butter.
Miko ran forward while swing the chain. The sword flew all about and cut down men by the dozen.
“Hahahahahaha! Die! Die! Die! Die!”
At one point a man risked life to knock the sword from his hand. Countless people then rushed to kill him.
Miko grin became even more savage.
“Fucking idiots!”
The sword that was sent flying turned into mist and wrapped around Miko's body and created a golden armor.
He shot forward.
*Boom!*
He threw a punch that caused several dozen people to burst apart.
He then spun around with a kick.
*Boom!*
Three women were turned into meat paste.
*Boom!*
He was hit by powerful attack from behind and took a few steps forward.
“Insect!”
He angrily twisted around and grabbed the man's head. He squashed the head like tomato.
Still angry Miko grabbed a nearby man and ripped his spine out. He then used it to stab through a woman's throat, before kicking her head clean off.
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”
Miko's laugh then became even more hysteric as if he was in a good mood again.
He started running while swing her arms and causing people to burst into pieces.
He grabbed a severed head and threw it. The head slammed into a man burst his chest open.
Miko jumped and swung his right arm, the armor disappeared and the giant sword reappeared.
He swung it down.
*BOOOOM!*
Thousands of bodies blew apart as sorrowful wails resounded through the air.
“……….”
Miko's rampage caused everyone to be shock speechless.
It wasn't the overwhelming power that shocked them, he was using a God Rank Qi Artifact so that level of power was normal.
What had shocked them was the cruelty that he displayed. Some of them lived for centuries or even millennia but even they can count on two hands the amount of times they've seen shock a cruel scene.
“I-Impossible. My father’s weapon….”
Krow was shocked for a direction reason.
“Yo.”
It was then he felt some tap his shoulder and looked around.
*Bam!*
He was suddenly punched in the face was sent flying.
The one who did it was Nero.
He smiled and shouted.
“Miko is right! No more talking! Fucking kill them!”
Nero's voice snapped everyone out of their daze.
The first to make their move was Jace.
“Die, Nero!”
“The one is going to die is you!”
Kimiko intercepted his path and slammed her foot in the side of his face.
“Kimiko Mors! You dare block me!”
“You blind!”
Kimiko's arm grew gigantic as she thrust it towards him.
“You bitch!”
Jace turned into a beam of light and slammed into Kimiko's fist.
*Boom!*
Kimiko's arm was flung backwards. She gritted her teeth and turned into black mist.
The mist and light then slammed into each other and pulled back before colliding again.
They then began to move away while repeated slamming into each other.
At this time, the two armies charge at each and battle went into full swing.
*Boom!*
“Move!”
Nova made a starry sky appear behind him. The stars then shot forward and ripped thousands of people apart.
“Neo! Show yourself!”
He shouted.
*Boom!*
A large explosion of flames happened in the center of the battle as a woman in a cloak rushed towards Nova.
Nova shot forward and then thrust his fist forward, so did the woman.
*BOOOOOM!*
The collision of fists caused countless bodies to burst apart, some even evaporated on site.
“There you are, Darling!”
Nova shouted happily.
Neo’s cloak was blown away and her happy expression was clear as day.
“I missed you, My Husband!”
The two jumped back and rushed towards each other again.
““Die!””
*BOOOOOOM!*
Miko continued his mad slaughter as he swung his sword all while laughing.
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”
He cut another dozen into pieces with one swung. He then shouted.
“This is war! Hahahahahaha! Die! Die! FUCKING DIE!!!”
