It was a new Age for Axis as many legendary heroes had left their countries to fend for themselves to return back home.
One could say that it was immoral, but for beings whom had lived for centuries they didn't really care, they had seen many countries falling and rising in their stay on Axis.
Now was the age where countries rose and countries fell, in the forsaken lands a lone traveller was going to the dungeon pillar, the nearby adventurers thought he was crazy since he was travelling alone without a carriage.
Once however he entered the dungeon pillar all traces of him disappeared as if he never existed in the first place. Days after his disappearance act hundreds of people begun to gather at the dungeon pillar and in a matter of days, where there used to be a lone adventurers' guild and an Inn, now stood a midsized town with temples of miriads of gods and estates of nobles and even a few heroes were now present there.
A month later the lone traveller returned with a new Class, he was now a legendary space-time master once more, since he already knew where there ruins were he simply teleported back there and since there was no longer an entrance only he could enter the place.
Of course he wouldn't abandon his harem, the next moment he had already retrieved two of his harem's members from the dwarven mines, them being Tanna and Rosetti whom were still in debt to the dwarves.
They were more than glad to enter his golden cages, only the land was very strange and exotic, the abandoned continent was divided into two by the dungeon pillar, the frostland and the dessert, each inhabited by different elements.
Christopher used his magic to scan the entirety of the land and the next moment teleported hundreds of elemental cores out of their hosts, it was like ripping the hearts out of living people thus ending their lives.
A huge territory around the dungeon pillar had suddenly become safe to habitate, of course it was already safe since a few heroes had already claimed the dungeon pillar's Town as their own, calling it the City of free faith.
Christopher didn't like the name thus he went deeper into the dungeon to establish his own Domain, he of course didn't stay in the shallow, he went down to the 90th floor and there begun to twist reality to his liking.
making one of the most manacing floors of the dungeon pillar into a holiday island, or rater the holiday Islands, one for each taste.
"Master I need food"
Tanna said to his irritation and with a wave of his hand he made food appear, all through twisting the very fabrics of space and time, they were all dishes he had eaten before, thus recreating them wasn't as hard for him.
The hardest thing would be recreating life from nothing, he simply didn't want to try doing so, since simply changing the inanimate objects took a lot out of him.
He had to rest for days in order to refill his magic capacity, making him remember than the high elved used to have those crystals called Eola Crystals that could store huge amounts of Magic power.
Thus he begun a huge endeavor, he begun to create a huge eola crystal that could probably hold a loadshit of magic power. He of course wouldn't fill it up just yet, he had other things to do before doing so, it was a great fortune that he still had a small eola crystal at hand, when he was creating the huge crystal, which was a giant sized replica of the little thing.
Next he would need to make the crystal fly, he liked the fantasy thing where there are flying isles, thus he decided to make one for himself, the Eola crystals would be the source of its flight, but that was for later, now he had to create a living environment for his little pets.
=========================================================
A year passed by and the High elves begun to claim that they were the de facto rulers of the surface world, which all other countried rejected.
until of course they learned that they had tree legendary children with bloom, which instantly shut them up.
But three Countries were still against those arrangements, first of all being Ecclesia, followed by Runia and finaly Munnero, although the dwarves might not have the same might as the High elves, but they would rather die than serve the elves.
Chris and the other heroes of Nivava were at a loss since the nine heroes of Nivava were not Legendary classes themselves. They were only Heroic, meaning that they had no way of oposing this change in regime.
Runia's new emperor Costas was the only currently known hero with a legendary class. When however the knife went to the bone he simply mediated a deal that would allow him some freedom, leaving the others to fend for themselves.
Ecclesia was of course out of the elves scope, but as long as they retracted their grasp from other countries they would be allowed to keep their independence, thus leaving the dwarves whom were forced to pay tribute if they wanted to keep their independence.
Lastly the High elves turned towards the free faith City, they were sure that somewhere there was Christopher, thus they would burn the city to the ground, for the act of abducting and harassing Bloom.
In this past year however there was one matter that went ignored by all countries, people had begun to disappear, be they dwarves, elves, humans or beastmen, they simply disappeared, there was nothing they had in common.
At the 90th floor a rather strange dialogue was going on.
"Master the chocolate fountain must be more to the left of the Candy mountain"
"Just wait and see how you will repay me for this later one"
Christopher said as he shifted the fountain made of chocolate, this was Tanna's island, it was made entirely of food and although it was a cold place, it would probably shrink in a matter of months with how much she ate.
Rosetti's island was a jungle with pretty fowers he had gotten from other floors, she seemed to like them, but now he had to go pick up the other members of his harem.
=========================================================
The Elven army composed mostly of mixbloods was heading towards the forsaken Country's only city, their path was filled with monsters and danger, the heat of the dessert was preferrable to the cold of the Icy frostlands, the healers worked overtime curing people from the scorching rays of the sun.
Bloom and the Emperor were also there having left their three little children back home, by their estimates they would arrive at the city in three days time, they could even see the pillar in the distance.
They however felt a strange pressure, something foretelling their defeat, they of course decided to ignore it since they were both Legendary existences with a huge advantage over most people due to their nobility.
Only that night nobility didn't save his neck from falling and Bloom and her pet dog Melodie were kidnapped under the watchful eyes of a huge army.
Her children also disappeared from Eolia, making the High elves go crazy, a huge uproar begun and chaos essued.
Their once domineering status became a joke and Ecclesia and Runia became the two protagonist in the fight for the lead.
Of course the army was still there, but they didn't even dare to attack they simply retreated with their Emperor's corpse to have him resurrected, by their friendly Allies the Ecclesians.
Whom begun mumbling something about not having enough priests, the price for a legendary emperor's revival being too high and other cheap excuses.
Thus leaving Eolia like a chicken without a head, running in circles until they are devoured by some more powerful country.
Of course Christopher wouldn't stop with just Bloom, next he grabbed Tris whom way lying once more on that same couch, trying to enjoy her day off of work.
Lastly Christopher arrived at the Fifth floor of Nivava which Alexxa had now establishedd as her own domain and abducted her right as she was having a bath.
He didn't stop there however, while he was in jail he had seen some more potential pets.
=========================================================
In the Orkish lands Georgia was naked and bound in chains, at the last moment Alexi had decided that he wanted her to stay and be his queen.
Thus resulting in her losing her chance to go home, but that didn't matter to her now, since now she would be daily harassed by tentacles, leaving small spots on her green skin.
Fortunately or unfortunately she had become one of Christopher's tagets, he had seen her when she had gone to visit Markella in jail and liked how she looked,
she was like a super heroine cut out from a comix.
That day while she was waiting for the tentacles, that time never came as she was spirited away to an unknown location.
Lastly he went and abducted the most perverted of the GLAM trio, Giota, she was as pretty as ever in her strange post modern clothes.
There were seven girls and 10islands, two of which were mostly ready, Rosetti had her jungle, Tanna had her candy mountain, Tris got a hot summer beach, Bloom got her own kingdom and her pet Melodie.
The three hardest to satisfy were his three classmates, Alexxa, Georgia and Giota.
One wanted Ludicar thus he gave her an island with him and his family to take care of, together with their whole estate.
Georgia wanted to return home, thus he gave her a modern style estate on the beach, with a mountain estate as well.
Giota, well Giota asked him for dryads, he didn't know what it was all about, but for her he created a forest, in the future he might bring her dryads.
The surface world turned upside down in a single day, but the people on the higher floors had their own problems to take care of.
In truth what happened on the surface world wasn't enough to even enter their sight, it was like hearing in the news that people died in a far away country.
There were however some people whom cared, their reaction was to send ambassadors to the free faith country in an attempt to set rules and retain some basic order, after all they can't have someone going and abducting people, simply because he can do so.
Problem was that the ruler of the Free Faith City wasn't Christopher, but Jonny, whom was backed up by the cult of many faiths, whom also had been going abducting people for their own rituals.
Their target was to summon a powerful Archdemon whom would protect their new city that was to be built at the 1st floor of the dungeon pillar.
Jonny regreted accepting to rule over free faith city, the ambassadors of the many countries were like piranhas each wanting to take a bite on his flesh.
Of course in his hard times he had assistance, the cult had given him two beutiful wives, Keia and Leia, whose mother, an old lady was in charge of most of the city's management, they even begun to build villages around the city.
A pity that they could not reach Christopher, whom by their words had become rather badass in the past few years that passed.
Some say that he even held the secrets of how to invade Earth, a secret for which some people would pay with their own blood and flesh to learn.
The last main event of the Year was that the Emperor of Runia begun to form a coallition of countries, to which he invited Jonny as well, they were the countries whom were ruled by heroes.
They were Runia, Ork country, Nivava and the forsaken country, this coalition however had a goal, conquering the surface world and dividing it amongst themselves.
Of course there was one problem, well multiple problems which they had to solve and with Costas being the smartest of the remaining heroes it made his head hurt.
The three main problems were...
1 Ecclesia
They simply stretched their hand everywhere, there were probably their fanatics even in between Costas' slaves.
2 Aquatica
They simply could do nothing to someone whom lived in the depths of the ocean.
3 Winoria
Their Ruler the Stone Pigeon didn't want to join the coallition.
And then there were less important problems...
1 Contact Christopher to join their coallition
2 Help Theodore(Oxen) to unite Woodaria
3 Cleanse the corrupt/traitorous nobles of their own countries
4 amassing of armies and division of the world
With these being the most important of problems needing solution the twelve remaining heroes were doing their best to find ways to divide the world.
=========================================================
Christopher was enjoying himself when a message suddenly reached him, He was rather surprised to discover the sender of the Message being Ecclesis himself.
The message told him to go to the 100th floor and defeat the demon god and if he did so, Ecclesis would reward him with a seat on the council of the gods of Axis.
Till then there had been only one hero whom had accomplished the task whom was Ecclesis himself, as god he would have tons of newfound powers and control over the world of Axis, but if he refused the deal, he would send the three heroes by his side back to earth and make the other four disappear from Axis.
Of course Christopher wasn't as stupid as to think that he could defeat the demon god alone, he asked for helpers, someone whom could be his cannon fodder.
8 Legendary heroes from Ecclesia appeared, they would be his vanguard, they were unable to harm the demon god, but they could protect him from the onslaught that would essue in the battle.
Ecclesis explained that in the beginning there was only a demon god and there was no god of light or a way to revive the dead, he was the healer of the party whom reached the demon god and ended up defeating him, problem was that the demon god exploded in the end taking with him the rest of his party, as for how they killed him, there's only two words "Cheat powers".
When Ecclesis looked around and saw that everyone was dead he was shocked and depressed. He had lost everything, but then he saw a strange ruin the demon god was guarding, it was called the Altar of Deification.
It could only be used once and any person whom stepped on it could edit himself however he liked, you could become a god, a demon, an elf, a dwarf, an orc, you could choose any skill you liked, only Cheat powers were set to stay as they were.
Of course there was also one demerit to the Deification, you would be forever unable to return to earth. Ecclesis had chosen eight godly skills, he could teleport anywhere he wanted on Axis, he could resurrect the dead, he could summon beings that looked like angels, he could banish spawned creatures, he could send people back to earth, he could turn things to dust through a ray of light, he could heal any wound, he could cure any and all illneses.
The problem was that he was unable to enter the lower 100 floors, again, but in turn 100 new floors were created just for him to play god or so he understood.
He could spawn his own "monsters", but he decided to make it so that the spawned monsters were the babies of each race under his rule, meaning that there were no monsters spawning on his floor, because of this, the races from the surface begun to flood his dungeon pillar and abandon the surface world which was still under the threat of monsters.
Of course the Temple of Ecclesis was not his hand's creation, people simply wanted to worship him, thus he just blessed them a little, gave them some perks and in no time a strange religion around himself was born.
Christopher of course didn't like being forced to do stuff, but he knew that the 91-100th floor were huge, his teleportation would not be a large boon there, since every monster there was as strong as the boss of the 90th floor.
he however didn't have a choice, he had to fight for his harem life on Axis, thus descending with the 8 Ecclesian heroes to the Demon god's floor mass teleporting them most of the way.
To their surprise it took them only a week to reach the entrance to the 100th floor. Christopher hadn't been there, but he had read lots of stuff about the monster that was the Demon God.
Christopher had desire to descend further, but beyond his control, the final floor was a pitch darkness, even night vision couldnt help them detect what the things they were to fight was.
A huge red eye suddenly flashed in front of them, and multiple smaller ones popped up one after another, there was no sound, which made it even more terrifying.
Christopher begun his reality warping skill, but all he was able to do was add light to the dark and desolate place.
What they saw however didn't make them relax, there were som giant cable like worms with a red eye on one of their ends, it was strange how a sci-fi monster appeared in a fantasy world.
He could also see some robot like siluetes fill the ground beneath the cables, it was rather weird.
The creature however didn't stop to observe them, beams of red light shot at them from it's red eyes, each beam would cause considerable damage.
Christopher took out an Eola crystal he had prepared beforehand and begun to twist reality once more, of course what he could do was limited to destroying parts of its body.
The others were seemingly helpless in front of it, all they could do was use their guardian angels and body to block any beams that were heading towards him.
The battle drew for eight hours, both sides looked all battered up, five out of the eight Ecclesian heroes had fallen, the strange cable like monsters however had almost disappeared, only the largest one remained, regenerating by absorbing the smaller ones, it had also given life to the robot like husks on the ground, but they were disappointgly weak against magic.
It was about time for somethign to change, the huge cable like monstrocity begun to pound like a fish out of water, making it impossible to target, unless of course you can stop time.
The problem was that of the heroes only One was left standing, they others were crushed by the sheer weight of that thing, it was as if the monster was as huge as the dungeon pillar itself, just imagine having to fight a against a building with a sword and a shield.
It was the moment that the Eola crystal dried up that Christopher knew that things weren't looking too well for them.
The Ecclesian hero was also at his last breath, but to his surprise the brave hero went and did the unthinkable, he went and kamikaze himself into the damaged thing, blowing himself to smitherins.
Leaving behind a corpse of the thing that they called the demon God, Christopher could faintly discern a small altar where the demon god used to stand.
That was probably the deification Altar, he begun to approach it, but before he could step on it, he felt a pain in his chest, he froze time, only to see that a sword had been inserted right into his chest, at that most he had a few seconds to live, thus he begun to overexert his power to modify himself.
He begun to change his own body moving it to the side and begun to reconect the brocken tissues, healing himself in zero time.
He looked at his assailant only to find that he was one of the Eight Ecclesian heroes that had accompanied him to the demon god, he probably had staged his own death in order to assassinate him in the end or it was some sort of cheat power that allowed him to survive being pounded by a huge building like cable.
With his last strength he was about to step onto the altar, but suddenly a strange thing occured.
-You have a message from yourself-
"Let the fucker on the altar, trust me it's not some deification thingy"
Christopher was shocked, he wasn't sure if this was some sort of trap, but since he was out of time he decided to teleport away from the altar.
The assailant was shocked to find that Christopher was still alive, but for some reason he had no desire to step onto the altar, thus making Christopher rather sceptical about the whole thing.
Of course the assailant had lost his chance to kill Christopher and the next thing he knew he was teleported right onto the Altar.
Christopher looked as the Assailant's body begun to melt into a pulp and being reforged anew, Christopher could see that it was exactly the deification thingy that Ecclesis had talked about, but after the person had reformed into a gorgeous woman she was turned into a beam of light and send away.
The altar as if devoid of power begun to form small cable like tentacles that begun to lounge onto the corpses of the dead heroes turning them into the robotic husks, rapidly regenerating.
Christopher wouldn't stay to see the Demon god's rebirth, thus he simply returned to his own 90th floor to resume his fun, but what awaited him was not relaxation and fun.
The Eola crystals that were there to hold the place safe and his harem was no longer there, He could imagine only one person whom would be able to do something as hyenous as that and the challenge was now on.
=========================================================
Ecclesis was shocked, he had done his best to turn Christopher into a member of the god council, but in the end he was left with a stupid Tanna.
He had used illusions to turn all eight of the Girls in his harem into heroes, even going as far as to brainwash them into believing that they were his followers.
Ecclesis' real power wasn't something like healing, it was the power of the Mind and Soul, his main status was Mentality and he could return the sould of the dead from the afterlife into their body, the hero summoning power was also his own as he summoned the souls of people and then gave them new bodies.
The thing called Cheat power was the power of their soul, people from earth had stronger souls than the people of Axis, thus they end up having special powers.
He didn't have the power to grant them powers, not determine what power they would get, problem was that once in a while some extremely troublesome cheat powers would appear.
One of which was Mr gold's "truth of the Book" skill or Markella's time twisting ability or Christopher's teleportation.
These people had the ability to defeat the Demon God or would have in the future, having them leave was the best choice he had, it was a pity that they had to take so many heroes away with them.
You have to understand that what Axis needs is strong people, the more gods they have the more Axis will grow, the problem was that Tanna wasn't a hero, she was a resident of this world, her soul was super weak, making her not even worthy of being a goddess, but from some twist of faith, due to her lesser Immortality she survived the battle and tried to go on with the plan.
The plan was having Christopher panic and step onto the Altar, not giving him a chance to escape, his plan however had backfired, leaving him with a glutton, a goddess of food, well at least she was pretty, he thought.
The problem was that Gods didn't have the ability to leave the 100th floor, they were like observers of the world, but they had a very small ability to interfere, all they could do was spread some powers and make their believers to do their biddings.
Being the only god however was was extremely boring, thus Ecclesis decided to make more gods, the problem was that there were very few people whom could defeat the demon God, even he himself was just lucky enough to survive the onslaught, there were thousands of heroes whom tried to defeat the demon god that day and he was the only survivor, it was simply a festival of magic and powers.
Of course he resurrected everyone and send them back, problem was that he was stuck there on Axis, thus he did his best to find people whom liked Axis problem was that there weren't many people whom could defeat the demon god on their own like Christopher.
The majority of the damage was done by himself, while only in the end did Bloom self destruct to give a finishing blow to the already dying Demon god.
Now however he had a better plan he would have Christopher Creat gods for him, he could choose anyone he liked on his side, it was the perfect ending and Christopher could have him own happy life or whatever.
He was rather proud of himself for thinking of this plan, now he only had to wait for 10years for the demon god to fully revive and the altar to activate once more.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.
=========================================================
The world was shocked when out of nowhere a new goddess appeared, the problem was her powers were too chaotic and plainly stupid.
Summon candy, summon meat, summon chocolate...
You don't need to be a genious to understand that her powers were pathetic, but they were interesting in a way.
She could easily end the famine spreading in the beastmen lands, but it was pity that she was a stupid as a brick, not that Ecclesis minded that, she was like a perfect puppet for his use.
Especialy since her last ability was Immortality, in siple words he could give people minor Immortality, they wouldn't be immortal, but they would be immune to all poisons and drugs and some sweet regeneration.
The downside however would be that they might choke on a piece of bread and people would think of them as dead.
Christopher of course was instantly aware of the point, but he was not calm enough to think it over, he still wanted to simply go and murder Ecclesis.
At the tenth Floor all of Ecclesis' boses found themselves dead, creating an Uproar in the dungeon pillar, non dared to kill them, they were only supposed to defeat them, but someone dared to kill them, you have to understand that unlike the people, the bosses were monsters in the form of people, meaning they could not be resurrected, but even if they died a new one would be spawned, but due to the Influence of the Temple of Ecclesis they had created holy laws that disallowed people from killing the holy messangers of Ecclesis.
Not even a week later all the boses of the 20th Floor died a gruesome death, their bodies so deformed that they could rarely recognise them.
Ecclessis himself however didn't care he was waiting for Christopher with a new offer, he had tried to message him multiple times, but an enraged person wouldn't sit down and hear out his new deal and even if he did, there was nothing that he could do to entice him to work with him, thus he wanted to prove to him that as a mortal he could do nothing to defeat him, he wasn't like the demon god, whom was a stupid beast with no intelligence.
The 30th floor was cleared as well, the 40th and 50th followed, for some reason instead of slowing down the speed simply went up, mostly because the floors were inhabited by people, so simply buying a map was enough for him go up in mere seconds.
the 60th floor was breached, the 70th, 80th and finaly the 90th, now the only thing left was Ecclesis' sunctuary, the council of the gods, an empty temple with nothing within but Ecclesis and Tanna.
A month passed before Christopher appeared in front of Ecclesis and Tanna.
"Do you think we can talk now or after the battle?"
Ecclesis asked.
"Tanna if you help me out I will give you something you haven't tasted in your life, called Caramel"
Christopher said and in a single second the tables had turned, of course Ecclesis knew what Caramel was, after all he was from our world, problem was that he couldn't recreate stuff from our world like Christopher.
"I don't want to fight with you"
Ecclesis said with a mocking smirk that could have been seen if his face wasn't a globule of light.
"But I want"
Christopher said and then time stilled, ten huge Eola crystals appeared out of thin air, one of them was enough to defeat the demon God, could ten of them not be enough for an Ecclesis?
Christopher begun to twist reality, he begun to modify Ecclesis himself, turning him back into a human, stripping him of all godly skills, leaving him nothing more than a level 999999 Legendary Healer.
Ecclesis felt weird as he touched the cold ground under his feet, he looked down and saw feet made of flesh, at the moment he was confused, but when he saw ten dryed out giant Eola crystals he was shocked.
He tried to activate his skills, but nothing worked, his cheat powers were intact, but his skills were all gone.
It took him some time to come to the realization that he was no longer a god, by that time his head went flying hopping on the ground like a basketball.
Of course the death of Ecclesis was not made public, but the Ecclesian priests to their horror discovered that their rituals and blessings had lost lots of their power, the penalty for resurrection had become grave to the point that people whom were resurrected returned all the way back to level 1.
Christopher was rather shocked when he saw an Altar appear at the Gods Council, since he didn't know what it did, he didn't dare get up on the altar, but then everything stoped and a message popped up.
-You have a message from yourself-
"Get on the Altar, it's the ability of skill Fusion"
The world of Axis had a strange way of rewarding people for the stuff they do, at random points of time, Christopher was of course interested in the weird skill fusion ability, but he could not entirely trust this strange message, should he try it or not.
In the end he decided to risk it he drunk a skill erasure potion and stepped onto the Altar, as it turned out it was trully the Skill Fusion skill, it was funny how the skill had two Skills in its name.
He created some caramel for Tanna and then went to sleep, he wanted to try out the skill right away, but first he wanted to level it up to the max of its capacity.
When he tried to use his fusion skill but to his surprise he could only fuse two skills, Reality recorstruction and Spatial and Temporal Coordination, one active and one passive skill, the rest didn't fuse at all.
The new skill created had a rather domineering name, "Spatial and Temporal Domination"
Of course he didn't understand the meaning of the 2nd fusion, he didn't understand what it did, but neither could he find, since at the moment he found out that it was even worse than reality reconstruction.
At least before he could create whatever he wanted, but now he could only change stuff, meaning he could not create things out of nothing, but he could change something already existent.
for example he took the giant Eola stones and compressed them a hundred times, next he begun to experiment with Tanna, at the moment he didn't care even if her head burst, after all she was considered as a genuine immortal now.
To his surprise Dominance was even easier to use than reconstruction, he simply willed something to happen and it happened, you could say that although it wasn't supperior to creating something from nothing, in its usability it was supperior by leaps and bounds, like Quality of quantity.
he now looked at the frozen in time Tanna, she probably had not idea that she was frozen it time, maybe he should make her take a better pose. Making her breasts a little firmer, her but somewhat rounder, deleting all the additional fat and viola. It was a rather interesting skill in any way you see it.
Now with Ecclesis out of the equation, Christopher begun going down the Dungeon pillar victoriously. Plundering Skills and then returning to the 100th floor to ravage Tanna's ass to the best of his ability, he wanted to make her squeel, he even made some modifications to make her ass and pussy more sensitive.
Alas the food for a brain woman didn't even react to his harashment, she only cared about food, it was really strange, even though he made sure that she felt it, she wouldn't react at all, was this what fucking a goddess was like?
Each time she looked at him with an exression as if saying "have you finished yet?".
Making him completely mad, thus in the end he froze her in an embarassing pose and compressed her into a small doll which he put in his pocket.
Fusing skills was more difficult than he thought of all the skills he found he couldn't find any skill that could be fused, until he understood that he was going around it the wrong way.
What he needed to do was fuse skills that had some relation to one another, instead of random skills, which made a lot of sense now that he thought about it.
But the most important discovery was that he could now copy other people's skills, he sort of regretted having deleted all of Ecclesis' skills, but he had still Tanna's Immortality. Fusing it with the Regeneration Spell gave him the lesser Immortality spell.
=========================================================
Down on the surface level there was chaos going on especialy in Ecclesia, suddenly all their spells and rituals begun to power down to an extreme rate of uselessness, even their resurrection became almost useless.
People begun to fear even leaving their homes, adventurers begun to act more prudently than before, The people whom lived in the lower floors begun to rise back to the surface floor, leaving some heroes with no domain to rule.
Ecclesia begun to close onto itself trying to keep their current state, acting with the best of faith towards all, they even decided to recognise the temple of free faith as a legitimate religion as long of course as they didn't invade into Ecclesian soil.
Of course when people discovered that Ecclesia was down they didn't stand there, they begun to kick them even harder.
Ecclesian slaves begun to fill the markets, bandits begun to invade Ecclesian soil, other countries begun to bite pieces of land they had their eyes on for a long time.
Ecclesian priests were praying day and night for a miracle and then on the second month of the said disaster something happened.
they saw a man descending from the 100th level of the dungeon pillar, without even asking for his permission they labeled him as their Messiah, the reincarnation of Lord Ecclesis.
Christopher was rather amused, he had them resurrect a naked person(Ecclesis) and told them that he was to rule the 99th floor, something like this person is my Champion.
He gave the Naked level 1 Ecclesis only one gift, lesser Immortality(it was a buff that would last him for years and since he was still a legendary healer there was no way he wouldn't become OP in due time), after all he didn't want to have him dying too soon, next he had them ressurect a few women whom he froze, shrunk and put in his pocket.
Ecclesis didn't know what to say, he was shocked but from his overpowered godlike power he was once more mortal, without skills and his level was back to the very beginning.
But if you think that he was devestated, then you are dead wrong, he was rather happy, he was free, he was no longer bound to the Council of gods, he could even leave the world of Axis someday if he played his cards right.
Ecclesis begun to spread his wisdom to his devestated followers, even though he didn't have skills, he still knew multiple mystical rituals that till then he hadn't bestowed upon his people, mostly due to them not even being true followers of his.
What his appearance caused was a wave against the wind, it was a struggle to turn the sinking ship back afloat, of course it would be difficult, of course it would be almost impossible, but he still had a few tricks up his sleeves.
The most important being his cheat power, telepathy and mind control in general. Once he regained a little mentality he could easily make his followers all over the world see illusions of the old Ecclesis giving them commands, all he needed was time and this struggle was so that he would gain time.
Before however Christopher could leave Ecclesis told him that he had one last trade to offer, this time it was worth his time. On the 99th floor where they now were, there was one floor called the Land of the Virgins of Ecclesis, the most beautiful women of all the land were sent there and became Oracles whom perceived the will of Ecclesis, basicaly telepaths.
There were 14 99th floors, one for every Country on the surface level, the 90th floors bosses will probably respawn, but there was a problem in whether they would be Ecclesis' Angels or something new.
Christopher didn't know if it was worth going there, but since he could simply teleport and had already been to four of the fourteen floors there, he decided to give it a try, but he took Ecclesis with him, just in case.
They came to where Ecclesis said the Land of Virgins was, but what he saw made him shocked out of all imagination, such beauty, thousands of old ladies were training their telekinesis to move small balls or fetch apples from trees, there were only around a hundred of new trainees and around as many middle aged ones.
Ecclesis had fogotten that he hadn't seen this place for centuries, a hundred years ago most of them were beauties, of course one or two out of the trainees weren't bad, but why would Christopher care about that.
"Wait, lets go to the 98th floor, that's where they must be hiding the most beautiful ones"
Ecclesis said, although Christopher had a face filled with disdain, he still hoped that it was true.
What they saw on the 98th floor was typical Ecclesian peissage, with a few big Cities, some towns and tons of agricultural villages.
The 97th floor was similar, the 96th the same, the people seemed to have long forgotten about the tributes they used to pay to lord Ecclesis, maybe Centuries ago they would send their most beutiful women to become Oracles of Ecclesis, but now they only sent around 10 average women from each floor, every decade, just as a sign of their faith.
Ecclesis was mad, he had really lived too long, he had forgotten all about what it was to be human, humans forget stuff and human gratitude isn't eternal.
Christopher was rather enjoying Ecclesis annoyed look, he even kind of felt sad for him, he was after all also a victim of the system, he probably would have loved to return back to earth.
Christopher then thought of a game, he make an agreement with Ecclesis, Christopher would take residence on the 100th floor, he would modify it a little, the Ecclesians could then offer him sacrifices, in general he could send him hundreds of women, but only the ones he liked would be allowed to stay, for each girl he likes he will give him a reward that he will like.
Ecclesis didn't know what to say, but he asked for a little bit of help, he asked him to help grind some levels, he needed to be at least level 1000 if he wanted that trade to happen.
What Christopher however did blew his understanding of god-like away, he simply tapped at him and Ecclesis instantly rose to level 1000.
Only now Ecclesis understood the dread of Altering reality, the dominance of Space and time, the ultimate magic of existence, but he couldn't have known that this was only the 2nd fusion.
Christopher went back to the 100th floor taking the role of Ecclesis, but he didn't stay iddle simply observing the lower realms, he begun to twist the 100th floor, decorating it to his needs, making it look like the depiction of mount olympus in movies, a temple on top of the clouds, he then begun to create a house for himself and his pets and then created a rack for his figurines.
He didn't have many of them, but each and every one of them were special, one had spank, the other was lustful, the other was his first love, another was an arrogant snobish Queen, the last two well they were simply stupid, but in their own special way.
How he wanted to just take one out and hear her erotic voice as he made love to her, but he held back, he wanted to first finish with the work he had to do and then have all the time in the world to enjoy himself.
=========================================================
Down on the surface levels there was a huge uproar, all Ecclesians begun to migrate to the higher floors of the dungeon taking as much as they could and leaving the rest behind.
Everyone felt weird when they saw it happen, But that meant one thing, there was no longer a way to resurrect their dead ones.
Unknown to them however high at the 99th floor, resurrection rituals were performed one after another, they were resurrecting men and women, beginning with the Ecclesians whom had died from raids, war, famine and any possible type of death.
Those that were young Virgins were given a choice to go to the floor of Virginity, others whom were pretty were told that they would be offered to God in exchange for divine blessings, but only if he accepted them would they be staying at god's side.
Ecclesis really overdid himself, the first sucrificial offering was composed of thousands of young women, amongst them some didn't want to be an offering, but they were forced to ascend the pillar non the less.
Christopher had a hard time freezing them all in time and then begun having an interview, sort of like a job interview.
It took a lot of time and slowly the stadium of women was emptied, only three were to his liking, two of them were crying when he tried to interview them, terrified by the unknown, he kind of like how it went. The third was a rather pretty woman, there was no way to not chose her even if her personality was like shit he would still have chosen her.
All the other women were sent back, he let them decide which floor they wanted to go down to, but most of them decided to go back the way they came from, only a few decided to try their lack in the land of Virginity, while a few simply chose some random destination.
For the three women, Christopher bestowed upon Ecclesis a skill, Blessing of life extension, which it turn became a blessing of Minor Immortality, with that he could make anyone he wanted into a minor Immortal for a month, but he could only cast it once a day, but it could be cast on a huge crowd of people.
With Minor Immortality there was little they needed to fear now. Of course immortality was Tanna's gift, meaning that it wasn't really Christopher's to give, but since Tanna was frozen it wasn't such a big thing.
Christopher now had three new figurines, the two scardycats and the gorgeous woman. In truth both of them weren't too happy with what they got, Ecclesis wanted something Overpowered that would instantly grant him dominion over all the floors, while Christopher wasn't so much into fanatical worshipers.
=========================================================
The surface level Countries were of course happy when the Ecclesians begun to withdraw from the lower floors, but the higher floors begun to flood with them.
After a few days a strange blessing begun to appear in the temples of Ecclesia, which made their warriors close to immortal in battle, they could easily fend off anyone whom tried to invade the higher floors.
Of course that didn't have any effect on the Surface floor where another menace begun to draw near, its name being the cult of free faith.
Their demon summoning ritual was accomplished and the result was outside of their expectations, Jonny died before he could even flee for his life, the city of Free faith became a feasting ground for demons and the closest countries of Winoria, Woodaria,Neassa,Eolia,Reddor and Greddor were not really willing to fight the new threat, they simply fortified their borders and let the demons gather at the borders.
It took Costas lots of promises and mediation to persuade Winoria, Greddor and Reddor to join him in a fight against the Archdemon.
Their miserable defeat was spread far and wide, the Emperor of Runia died and his dark magic couldn't even scratch the surface of the Archdemon's skin.
With the treat evergrowing and imminent the elves decided to flee to a higher floor, the Dwarves sealed their tunnels and would wait for the threat to pass.
Greddor and Reddor begun to evacuate as well what little forces they had, those that could not leave sold themselves to Runia's slavers just to hitch a ride to safety.
Winoria was in Chaos as their Invincible king was wounded for the first time. There was a huge panic between the birdbrains but their king assured them that if they wanted to flee the Demons had no way of reaching them, which was partly true, since the Archdemon would slaughter them even if they tried to flee.
The heroes of Nivava begun to plan on their next action, Runia, Nivava and the former lands of Ecclesia now all fell into their hands, but what could they do?
The chaos had made people resort to banditry, public order was already lost, nobles were secretly leaving the country, many even were said to have defected to other countries.
But there was a chance of success, Alexi whose cheat power was analysis was able to Analyze the Archdemon, its name was "Failed Demon God Experiment X12"
It had lots of Physique, but lacked in mentality, it's magic protection was decent and probably no hero would be able to penetrate it, it was immune to dark and demonic types of magic.
It's most evident weakness was Holy and Light, meaning that Michael and Theodor would have a great advantage against it, only problem was that the monster was too strong, one attack from its huge claws would turn any one of them into a puddle of blood and gore.
A team of heroes was thus formed the vanguards being Alexi, Theodore(Oxen) and George. The general being Chris and the glass cannons being Michael and Theodor, the two whom used to be in Ecclesia and still had their Guardian Angels.
The Defenders of the World were gathered, an army that couldn't be called small was assembled, across they could see a red shadow, followed by clouds of dust.
The common soldiers were afraid, but in the forefront three heroes were ready to intecept the first wave of demons, A roar that reminded that of a mad bull could be heard from Theodore's oxen head as he charged towards the "Red".
Alexi summoned a gigantic Giant that looked just like himself as he floated in place of his heart and with a single jump he was already right in the middle of the monsters.
George begun to hurl huge bulders that just popped out of the ground, like a human catapult, devestating the tightly clustered demonic swarm.
Chris begun to Shout, the soldiers couldn't hear him, but they could feel a strange power, empowering them to a fair degree, they could now at least survive the initial clash, they thought.
Arrows were released and two brilliant Angels appeared in the sky, one was Handsome like a piece of art and the other brute like a bandit.
The two begun to rain death upon the flying demons in the distance while Michael and Theodor begun to support the soldiers from the rear with blessings, barriers, healing and even some more active demonslaying.
From far in the distance their loved ones could see the fireworks, but they knew that this wasn't some celebration, it was a fight for survival, a fight for the right to live.
After 30minutes of slaughtering imps and familiars, the heavyweight demons appeared, they were pit demons, gogs and magogs.
Pit demons were large red demons with horns like those of a bull or Aries and legs of a goat, an oversized goat, they were humanoid in form but larger than a man.
Gogs and Magogs were black humanoid demons with tiny horns, clothed in black or red cloaks, the gogs were only armed with a saber drenched in hellfire, while the Magogs could shoot balls of hellfire.
This second wave pushed the vanguard back and Chris Heroicaly charged the talented soldiers in a bloodbath, he didn't get the title of the lightning General without a reason.
The talented soldiers attacked with both speed and precision, there was not time to waste on a single enemy, they would roam through the whole battlefield, their charge doing more damage than the three vanguards could have ever achieved, this was strength in numbers.
A perfectly organized military charge, Chris was excited as he charged on his mount on the front of the charge, he might not have been the strongest hero, but if he was given an army he was equal to any legendary hero or so his subordinates used to tell him.
35minutes into the fight a large roar like that of dying animal was heard from the distance, the archdemon had at last arrived.
Chris begun to gather the talented troops around in order to retreet, but they were in too deep, the humongous red demon was as fast as the wind, it was strange how such a humongous being could be so fast, couldn't they balance him somehow?
Chris thought to himself, took out a small bottle of expensive alcohol and gulped it down as he awaited for his imminent death.
He had charged first, but was the last to retreet, that was his greatest weakness, he cared too much for his subordinates.
Before however the huge lizardlike red tail could sweep him away a huge foot stomped taking the full blunt of the attack.
It was Alexi's totem summon, he might not have been able to rally the orks for battle, but it didn't mean that he would leave his classmates(friends) to die.
Alexi however had overestimated himself, although he was strong, but his defense wasn't as high as his strength, the first attack from the Demon's claw ripped the energy made giant into two, sending Alexi falling to his doom.
A handsome angel grabbed him in midair right before he could feel the fall damage, softly landing him on the ground, hundreds of missiles, rays and flashes of light begun to now fill the battlefield.
Theodor and Michael were now going all out, this was the plan from the beginning, Alexi was relaying how much HP the monster had left, since he could analyze all its stats and weaknesses.
"It's going to use a breath attack!"
Alexi shouted, as he himself jumped as far away as he could, but the fiery breath was too fast for a common soldier to evade, hundreds would die, if not for the strange stone walls that apeared right in front of their army, the walls weren't too high, but they were enough to cover the men behind them.
"It's going to do it again!"
Alexi shouted as the crocodile like red jaw had begun to suck in air, but before the demon could release its breath a metor shot down from the sky at a breathtaking speed, gluing the beast to the ground.
Of course it wasn't a meteor, it was Michael's guardian angel whom was using his indestructible mace, this was one of its 8skills, angels had 4common skills and 4unique ones, this was unique skill that was called Holy meteor Dive. It did Holy damage as well as a devestating Physical damage.
Once the demon was down Thunder begun to fall from the sky acompamied by rays of light that flashed like a beautiful aurora in the sky.
It was a comination of Divine and Holy judgement, used by Michael's and Theodor's angels.
"Its health is at 50%!"
Alexi shouted, signaling that it would now become enraged, it was one of its passive skills.
The demon begun to growl menacingly, its muscles begun to bulge as it now seemed to have gained a head in height, but the problem was that its attack had doubled right now. If anyone was even touched by it right now, he would feel as if he was hit by a truck.
The two angels were now the only ones in sight since the others were already more than a few kilometers away from the devestated battlefield, only the two holy creatures could have some effect on the demonic being.
As the army now retreated to a safe distance the two angels begun to sower the monster with punishment and judgement attacks, the demon was hopefully stupid as it tried real hard to swap the two annoying flies that were slowly sucking it of all its Health Points.
"It's health points are at 10%"
Alexi stated as he could easily see the Giant demon's life points even from a distance.
It was around that moment that an accident happened, one of the two radiant angels was swayed by the monsters wild movements and fell to the ground, it took a single stomp to render it unable to get up anymore.
"Don't mind it, I just have to summon it again"
Michael said with a smile, he had passed years with the handsom guardian angel guarding his back, it had died many times in his stead.
This time however something was different, the guardian angel didn't appear, the connection they had was finaly broken with the angel's death. The main reason being because Ecclesis was god no more and his creations were now absolete, relics of an old age.
Michael tried again and again to summon the angel to life, but nothing happened, he actualy cried.
"Is it because I have betrayed Ecclesis?"
He asked himself, but he couldn't come with a better answer, he had in truth betrayed Ecclesia, when they were in trouble he had turned his back to them, both him and Theodor were the same.
"Theodor, something isn't right, try to keep your angel alive, because this is it's last life"
Chris said, having analysed the situation of the battle so far.
Theodor panicked a little, but there was little he could do, the angel wasn't exactly some remote control toy, it moved on its own, only thing he could do was order it to execute some attack or do something, but in general there was little he could do.
"It at 3%"
Alexi shouted.
"Everyone begin the barrage, use everything you have got!"
Shouted Chris, as the healers begun to bombard the area with holy magic, the demon was at last dead, but at what cost.
Everyone stood silent, there was no happy voices celebrating their victory, there were only sad warriors whom looked at battlefield devestated by war and magic.
Corpses littering literaly every speck of the battlefield, demons and the allied races lied next to one another, their blood forming a common pool, dying the ground Red.
"This will be known as the Battle of the red plains, everyone begin to search for survivors, don't let even a single brave man lose his life because from bleeding to death"
Chris said and the scouts and archers begun to inspect the battlefield for survivors.
"Where are you going?"
Theodor asked Michael, after all they were both able to heal, thus their help was still needed in the aftermath.
"Home"
Michael said with a sad voice, his silluette disappearing as his steps hastened.
Michael had stopped only for a while to look at the sky after having left the battlefield, he was sad for his guardian angel's death, but at least he was still alive and he still had Ysova, his wife.
He used his farsight spell to steal a look at his own wife, but what he saw made him so angry that he lost all reason.
He now cursed the battle, cursed the others whom pursuaded him to leave Ecclesia.
"How could that imbecile!"
He shouted out loud, but his home was too far away for him to reach it in time, he was forced to watch as his wife was being raped, his barrier was destroyed and the seals broken through a special way so that to not alarm him.
Michael of course knew the man whom was now molesting his woman, he knew the people holding her down as the man had his fun with her, her cries for help although inaudible could be easily imagined in his head.
The man was Neathan and the other two were Rux and Mollet, they were his former companions, he cursed as he saw them having their fun with her and just as he was about to reach his house he saw them stab her in the heart, throat and belly.
He stumbled and fell, the shock was too huge to endure, his heart cried in despair, he was only an hour away, but he knew that he was too late, his wife was already dead.
That stab he recognised very well, it was the cult's sucrificial stab, it was the signature move of the demonic cult, the ones whom summoned the demon.
He run as fast as he could, he jumped over the wall and into the window of theirs bedroom. The glass shards deflected by his powerful physique, he approached his loved one's corpse took it in his hands and disappeared into the night.
---------------------------------------------------------
Back at the Battlefield an invisible silluette, that looked like a dwarf lizardman was walking around, looting corpses, gathering demonic cores.
It didn't seem to mind the stench of blood and corpses, until it stumbled upon something that could only be called a treasure by it.
Brilliant feathers, it begun to gather them one after another, it even begun to dig with its strangely humanoid fingers, digging out a winged human, his wings were almost devoid of feathers and he was seemingly dead.
The creature passed its hand over him and he disappeared as if he wasn't there in the first place.
It then went towards the gigantic demon, took a syringe and begun to draw blood out of the corpse, it was rather difficult to hit a vessel, but the creature seemed to know the creature's anatomy quite well.
"I hope the next one will be a success"
The creature said and then turned around and disappeared into the night.
