War. War never changes.
That was what Draco would say if he was a retard who had never actually been in a war. However, he did, so he would naturally say that war changed faster than a man who respected all women after being cheated on once, becoming the disciple of Lord Future.
Rather than that, he would say that it was a brutal mechanic to advance certain interests.
However, the philosophy of war was just a casual thought in his mind. On this day, October 30th 2066, Umbra began its brutal war of extinction, conquest, and slavery.
Both the in-game world of Boundless and the real world on Earth felt the effects and aftereffects of this war, and it was the first turning point in a series of events that changed the trajectory of the human race forever.
On this day, hundreds of thousands of players, numbering up to about 30 million, surrounded the Vita Kingdom on all sides with excited and cruel expressions.
They were initially scared and worried that Umbra would deal with them, but seeing their numbers and allies caused their confidence and arrogance to swell beyond the limit.
Their eyes were red and full of malice as if they could only see themselves slaughtering the weak and helpless members of Umbra while bathing in their blood.
The number 1 guild? Only so-so!
"Dog Umbra, run out here for your fathers and mothers!"
"Um, I am neither male nor female, so I am not going by father or mother, thank you."
"Terribly sorry about that, let me correct myself."
"Dog Umbra, run out here for your fathers, mothers, and retarded freaks!"
"…"
The players were jumping around in excitement. The lowest was at Rank 2 and the highest was at Rank 4. There were naturally some hidden elites among the players, and Draco's kindness towards players of this timeline caused even those who were suppressed in the previous timeline to shine now.
They had more money, more knowledge, better skills, and better equipment.
Of course, all this was to the benefit of Umbra. With the exp mechanic for players, it meant every player was worth a Captain Rank monster of the same Rank, which was at least a boss-level enemy.
That exp was great. Where would the Evil Trio find over 30 million Captain Rank monsters of the same rank to kill?
It should be known that in the zones where Draco wiped out sea monsters, his kill count didn't even surpass 50,000. After all, the ratio of high rank to low rank was too great.
Sure there were a lot of Rank 5s and Rank 6 sea monsters there but 'a lot' was relative. A lot here referred to on the land or in any given place.
Most of the things he killed in that 50,000 were Rank 1 obviously. After all, there were the most numerous existences in the world in any given place.
But now look, so many fish on the chopping board. Draco, Eva, and Shuangtian expected to take their Semi-Eternal classes to Rank 4 at the least but the time this was done.
Since today was the opening day of the war, the members of Umbra came out in full force.
The 108 elites from the first recruitment. The 3000 players from the second recruitment. The 7000 members from the third recruitment. The 10,000 elites from Supernatural and finally, the almost 20,000 elites from the continuous recruitment till today.
This included both Tradeskill and combat members, of course. Tradeskill members made the majority, with about 57.5% of them forming the bulk of the membership.
The rest were the often-mentioned players.

Then there were the 340 Expert Members which included Loli King, Panty King, Johnny Sins, Maple Forest, Kicked Bucket, and Wee Cunt.
After them were the 4,250 Advanced Members of which the likes of Holly (Rina's mother), Martha (AP-Berzerker's little cousin), and Adrian (Misery's younger brother who was a homunculus) were part.
And finally, the remaining 12,365 basic members of which were all celebrities of the real world, forming a clique of elites.
They all stood along with the Tradeskill members of various ranks =on airships that were near the border. Their eyes were cold, filled with malice and hatred for all living things not on their side.
Some of the 30 million players outside were pressed to the ground bu their auras and felt regret coming here. They literally couldn't even see their bodies since they were so far away, but just their remnant aura and killing intent were enough to crush their bones.
However, both parties were waiting. The timer for the war beginning was left with less than a minute, and when it elapsed, a wave of brutality would begin.
At this time, Draco and his two beauties made an entrance… but it was not how people expected. Through some unique method, they made sure that everyone, whether NPCs or players, enemies or friends, could see what they were doing as if they were a few inches away.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFirst, Hoover had some serf members of Umbra carry a large stone slab in front of everyone. After putting it down, the serf members died because they had exhausted their life force, but they were given enough UPs that they laughed even while in hell.
Everyone was confused, but then saw some carvings on the slab. On the left was a woman in a fetal curl while holding a gem, in the middle was a man posed fabulously, and on the right was another beautiful woman also posed quite magnificently.
Suddenly, a group of players were dragged before the stone slab, and then kicked to the ground. The 30 million players faces changed as they looked around and saw that these players were the ones talking the most shit while waiting for the war to begin.
Somehow, they had been silently captured within them and no one noticed. This made the 30 million players' hearts go extremely cold.
"What are you doing?!"
"Do you know who I am?!"
"I'll report you to the police for this harassment, I swear!"
"Let me go, please!"
Some cursed, some spat, some begged and some were arrogant. However, they all suddenly shut up when a thin tube energy from the middle of the stone slab and then pierced into one of the players, sucking out his blood until he became a dried corpse.
The players went silent as their faces became purple from fear. The thin tube coiled around slowly and then suddenly shot out to the next players, piercing through his body.
What was crazier was that it didn't stop, piercing through each player in tandem and connecting them like a coil. The players screamed in utter agony and pain that caused onlookers to shiver, but the screams were silenced as their blood was sucked out in one go, making them empty husks.
Then the tube returned to Draco and he came to life. His eyes opened, revealing the pure green luster that caused the minds of all males to shake and the lions of all females to discharge.
He then broke out of the stone slab while the wind blew around him, his form majestic and beautiful beyond compare. After savoring the air of the world, he looked around and spoke coldly.
"I pondered the strength of the players after 3 months of slumber, but dependence on numbers implies declination. The simple tactics of numbers wouldn't work much on me!"
Immediately, Draco posed and then cast a skill. The 30 million players screamed as the sky blackened, and a giant meteorite covered with lava began to fall down upon them from a hole in the sky that showed hell itself.
The players tried to do everything to escape or fight back, but it was impossible in the face of absolute power. Many players launched their skills upwards to block, but it was only enough to pause it slightly.
Those who tried to escape using skills or scrolls found that space was locked and they were confined in a rectangular box-like area.
What was even worse was that everyone was suddenly distracted as Draco sucked in a breath and then placed his finger on the cheeks of the two female cavings beside him.
"BOOTY!" He shouted as he gazed at the sky and the blood he absorbed was injected into the two carvings.
"Awaken… MY BEAUTIES!" Draco roared as the stone slab cracked and an aura was released into the world.
AYAYAYAYIIIII!!!
CRICK!
The female carving on the right exploded and a beautiful brown-skinned woman fell down, then spun herself, freezing in that pose.
CRACK!
The female carving on the left was broken by the person within as their hand clutching the gem opened and dropped it to the ground.
BOOOM!!!
At this time, the meteorite landed and crushed all the players around, turning them into nothingness and causing them all to be sent for respawn, not even leaving a single one alive.
The players only had one second to see that the man was crouching down with a smile, the beauty on the left was squatting on a pedestal as she held a strange mirror, and the beauty on the right was in a half-spun position.
Their minds exploded as this sight seem to speak to the soul and even called down images of the DAO.
The Dao of the Aztec Gods of Fitness!
