Guild Wars
chapter-1185

Seeing Draco take things seriously, Eva and Shuangtian also stood up, the former switching to her Dragoira set while Shuangtian donned the Dragovestis set. Ratipreme, who sat on the throne, raised an eyebrow in surprise that these humans would dare to attack him before he could even speak.

"Good, it would have been boring if you had cowered before me like all those who came before you. Still, you need to be punished for daring to slaughter my Rat God Clan. You know what, leave the infants behind for me to feast on during my lunch time and I will let one of you leave while the rest will be used as entertainment before being slaughtered." Ratipreme spoke in a high pitched voice.

Hearing him, Draco was amused and flourished his dual blades. "Did it hurt?"

Raitpreme frowned and wondered what Draco meant. "Did what hurt?"

Draco grinned widely. "Did it hurt when you fell from someone's butt because you're a piece of shit?"

CLINK!

Ratipreme crushed the giblet in his hand, causing his wine to splash all over his body, but he no longer cared about that. His beady eyes were clouded with rage, and one could even see veins protruding on his skin, showing how furious the Rat True God was.

"Impudent brat! I shall enjoy killing you after I rape your women to replenish my Rat God Clan. I'll turn your descendants into my meal as I slowly eat them alive!"

Before Ratipreme could fully rise from his throne, Shuangtian appeared before him and grabbed his head which was now covered with the Divine Rank gauntlets, Koraina. She glared down at him and spoke coldly.

"I'd sincerely love to see how you plan to rape this Empress."

Shuangtian threw Ratipreme upward and then launched an uppercut so powerful that the shockwave caused the entire castle to fracture from the core to the edges. Ratipreme received the blow to his chin, being sent flying skyward, breaking through all the ceilings and obstacles on the way.

Blergh!

Ratipreme reached the apex of his launch and coughed out a huge mouthful of blood along with most of his teeth, one of his eyes destroyed and leaking blood. The pain made him go crazy with hatred, ager, and a feeling he was unable to recognize... fear.

Before he could even blink though, he found that Eva was floating above him with her Celestial Symbol behind her, her arms lying casually by her side as she looked down on the agonized Ratipreme.

"The light of the Goddess will wash away your sins."

A surge of blistering light emerged from the celestial symbol, shining upon the airborne Ratipreme. He tried to block it with his arms, turning his face away, but it was an act of futility as his skin began blistering in the sweltering heat, forming ugly boils that grew and then popped with blood and mucus as he was cooked by the intense heat, screaming all the while.

Eva did not stop, roasting him brutally before firing a beam of light at him which sent the Rat God blasting downwards, back into his own castle.

BANG!

Ratipreme landed unceremoniously on the ground, shuddering and trembling with pain as he pushed his upper body from the ground and tried to stand. The combo that had been unleashed on him was far too fast for him to see and react to.

Mortal stats did not matter much in the fight between True Gods but it sure as hell gave an advantage when they were as high as the Evil Trio's. The three of them were also going all out by infusing True Level Laws into their attacks.

Draco appeared before Ratipreme and squatted before the fellow.

"Hurts, doesn't it?"

He kicked the True God in the abdomen, sending him flying up before swatting him down with a palm covered with Destruction Energy boosted by the power of law. Ratipreme was sent crashing into his throne, breaking it and hurtling into the wall, forming a dent.

Wagh!

He spat out a mixture of his innards after that blow, the pervasive Destruction Energy ruining his lifeform despite his best attempts to use his own Law and Divine Energy to repel it. His eyes no longer contained fierceness, replaced by utter horror and fear for his life.

Like a rat, he wished to escape after encountering danger, not willing to fight anymore. While his Supreme Racial Law for the rat race was potent, it was limited to being an auxiliary effect that allowed him to control rats and enhance their fighting ability as well as intelligence.

In other words, it was a support law for a king or general type True God who fought using his forces rather than his own strength. The problem here was that the goddamn Evil Trio had completely trashed all his forces into the ground!

His own personal Law was only at the Advanced stage, it was a Law for sneaking around and escaping, as one would except from a rat. It was nowhere near enough to fight the True Law level offensive Laws the Evil Trio possessed, not to mention their powerful skills backed by Law and Divine Energy.

With no hesitation, Ratipreme activated his Law and turned into a mist of shadow that darted out of the throne room quickly. The Evil Trio frowned and chased after it, but they could not easily catch up to a Law specially made for escaping and their high mortal stats didn't help much either.

Eva tried to turn back Time to capture Ratipreme but every True God possessed the Element Regulation and Spacetime Regulation passive, so Ratipreme was able to resist its effects. He also could not be trapped by Draco's spatial abilities, nor could Shuangtian limit his movement using her various abilities.

"We should put a Trapping Law on our to do list." Draco stated with a dissatisfied frown after they regrouped.

"I want information about the location of the monster True Gods. They definitely have a city and social system like the Divine City in place." Eva lamented unhappily.

Shuangtian's eyes flickered. "Once we find them, that will be a bucket load of Divine Essence for us to harvest!"

Draco glanced at his family who were now exploring the castle and taking things that interested them. "Well, we can deal with all that later. Let's go back and repair our church, then start building our pantheon up in preparation for the next step."

Eva and Shuangtian nodded. Before they left to sort out the family issue in the real world, they had only just ascended through the Divine Passage and then been group fucked by Draco. Their pantheon had yet to break out of Tier 0, not to mention there was also a lot of them to achieve in regard to their own territory.

The family regrouped and walked through Draco's portal. Before he stepped through, Draco raised a hand and created a giant Orb of Destruction imbued with Law, tossing it into the throne room as a last present for Ratipreme which he suspected to still be around.

Right after it closed, the orb struck the edge of the wall and exploded, causing a huge explosion of blackish miasma to occur in space, causing the entire castle to be aflame with black light.

Its floating capabilities ceased, turning it into a descending meteor heading for the ground. When it finally struck the ground, a huge explosion followed by a mushroom cloud made of dark fire emerged and covered the entire horizon, causing the realm the shudder slightly.

Even back at the church, the group could see a smidgen of the mushroom cloud, which showed how far the castle had moved after kidnapping the family.

Draco then focused on the now ruined and razed church, planning to restore it using the system. Eva had already tried to simply turn back time on the spot, but, unfortunately, the damage had been caused by Laws, which interfered with her abilities.

Had it been that easy, then Draco wouldn't have had to cough up so much money to not only repair the land but also to repair the Withering Plains of the Divine City's territory. Eva gave up after yet another attempt, realizing the futility as she rolled her eyes, making Draco and Shuangtian feel amused.

The payment was handled in a matter of seconds, and luckily enough, it was relatively cheap, at least when compared to the initial cost. The next moment, the church began to pull itself together magically, piecing itself together one by one like it was being built by a lego character.

In barely any time the repairs were done and the family walked in while Draco remained outside with his finger on his chin thoughtfully. He first brought up the Pantheons menu screen.

｢Pantheon Name: Divine Umbra

Pretty shabby, huh? Compared to his OP Vita Kingdom with so many buffs and endless territory as well as potential, this was quite sad to look at. However, for every problem, there was naturally a solution.

The requirements for upgrading the pantheon to Tier 1 was to have 3 enshrined gods, 10,000 mortals, 10 million Aether Coins and 500,000 Faith Energy. It was not difficult for a newly established pantheon to achieve back in the old era, but in the current one, it was more than a bit tough.

The mortals were ironically the biggest problem, especially now after Umbra had performed a cleansing of the Main Plane in all known territories and had almost entered the newly added zones after Update 3.

Back then, the idea had been to replace the landmass with their people and a few NPCs that they could control, using time acceleration over a large scale to fast forward the Main Plane into the future.

However, they had yet to complete the conquest of the Main Plane so this idea could not be completed. Not to mention that the Evil Trio currently had four pressing tasks.

First, to deal with the invasion of the Main Plane Event.

｢Battle For The Main Plane – World Quest

Description: Due to the selfish actions of players Draco, Riveting Night and Jade Empress, the Will of the World orchestrated a calamity for the entire world in the form of an Outer World Invasion! The invading forces originate from the Unmapped Zones and have heritages lasting thousands of years that have not been damaged!

Endless warriors, True Gods and even noble Semi-Origin Gods have descended upon the Mapped Zones in order to rape, pillage and conquer! Ironically, the ones responsibly for this needless calamity appear to be the only ones capable of saving the world now!

Limitation 1: The entirety of your actions during this Event will be livestreamed to the entire playerbase.

Limitation 2: You cannot leave the range of the battle until the enemy forces are either wiped out, subdued or repelled.

Provision 1: You can use any ability or methods you have to deal with this invading force.

Provision 2: All slain True Gods grant 100 times their usual Divine Essence per Law Rank!

Rewards: Rank +1, Title: World's Savior and the World Map will feature the entirety of the Unmapped Zones.｣

This Event was in a state of limbo. The True Gods who had initially set out to invade the Main Plane had been sucked up into the Divine Realm somewhere due to careful plotting by the Evil Trio as well as a mixture of coercion and threats towards the AI.

They had already slaughtered all the Rank 7 and below foes part of the invading force, so the Main Plane was back to the state it had been before this Event. However, the pressing problem was still there, and that was the veritable sea of True Gods and even a full set of Semi-Origins Gods, dwafing the number of those inhabiting the Divine City.

This was a significant problem that Evil Trio had to solve, and it was only the first of the four.
