At this moment, everyone in the Main Plane who had a strong soul or spirit, as well as divinatory abilities or a strong connection to the world, either screamed in pain, spat out mouthfuls of blood, or collapsed with blood coming out of their seven orifices depending on their power.
Right now, the only thing their senses kept telling them was to flee, to flee as far as they could. A calamity was approaching, something that no one could resist or even hope to resist. Even the tyranny of Umbra had never made them feel this scared.
At the edge of the Mapped Zones, the stern of a single airship poked through the fog and approached rapidly. Immediately, boss music in terms of army deployment began to play, making one feel like they were a lone boat before an armada.

However, if you thought this single gigantic airship as big as a small continent was a terror, then you were in for a horrifying surprise as a second one popped out a few moments later, followed by a third, fourth, fifth and so on.
In the span of seconds, hundreds and thousands had come out, crossing the millions, then tens of millions, then hundreds of millions.
The people lost all hope once the count reached tens of billions!
What's more, the weakest of those ships was at the Epic Rank!
Each one was led by a Rank 7 Combatant who acted as a captain! On the deck were millions of warriors who had bloodthirsty looks in their eyes, rapacious glaring at everything before them as if it was their worst enemy.
The lowest of these warriors was Rank 4!
At the back of this terrifying armada was a giant spherical planet similar to King Kai's word that floated slowly along behind the ships. There was a single Pantheon on this planet, at the northernmost end.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAround it was a city with hundreds of powerful lifeforms all kneeling to statues of a few hundred magnificent beings who hovered in the air over the Pantheon, glancing down at all things with endless disdain and indifference.
All True Gods!
From Basic Law up to the Supreme Law, there were more of them than in the entire Supreme Pantheon. They all wore confident and arrogant expressions as their armies entered the Mapped Zones with impunity, capturing and establishing territories as they went forward.
However, if it was just this, the seers and sensitives of the world would not have suffered damage. The arrogant faces of these True Gods disappeared and then subserviently bowed to ten figures who came out to inspect the new land.
Semi-Origin Gods!
Oh god, oh fuck, there are actually Semi-Origin Gods among this invading force!!
No wonder everyone was more than dead than alive. Even if the already busy and trapped True Gods of the Divine Realm descended to fight, they would only be able to barely match this army, much less repel it.
This was it. This was likely the greatest calamity the Mapped Zones would ever face, and nothing could save them. The world was coming to an end!
........
Meanwhile, in the Divine Realm, Draco, Eva and Shuangtian suddenly pushed as they clutched their chest and blood leaked down the side of their lips. In some sense, they were more attuned and sensitive to the world than anyone else due to their sheer power, aloowing them to directly sense this calamity.
The strings of fate and karma had struck them head on since they were the ones who brought this about.
The simple cause and effect of it was this being the punishment of the world for claiming all the Divine Items in the Divine Dragon Treasury before Draco had achieved the ability to make Divine Items as well as before they acquired the ability of Divine Laws.
At the time, they hadn't cared because by their calculations, this force should have arrived when they reached Rank 7 and were already in possession of Origin level power. However, the Evil Trio had forgotten one thing and that was the fact that in this timeline the AI had expanded the Mapped Zones following Update 3!
At this moment, the eyes of the three became bloodshot because how could they not understand that they had been played by the AI?
It had been forced to watch them wantonly break the balance these past few weeks by reaching the Divine Rank in Tradeskills ahead of time, then forcibly using this to create Divine Items that allowed them to use Divine Laws and even grow them!
When the vast majority of the playerbase was still at Rank 4 and steadigly working towards reaching Rank 5, these fellows were frolicking in the Divine World that should have only been accessibly after years of playing the game!
Did they think that this AI Queen was there for show? Did they really think that she would always helplessly watch them dance on her nose? Ha, let's see how they dealt with this now!
The Evil Trio shared a look and had gloomy expressions. This time, they had been outplayed and had to take the L, but you could be sure they wouldn't forget this transgression!
Shua! Shua! Shua!
Zaine, Roma and Hikari rushed over with worried looks seeing that the auras of the Evil Trio had become messy for a second there.
Draco smiled at them. "Do not worry, we have to return to the Main Plane in order to deal with some trouble."
Hikari seemed worried. "Do you need our help?"
"While it would be great, it would serve us more if you stayed here and achieved the True God level first." Eva revealed with a nod.
"Don't worry, we'll achieve the next level soon and rush down to help as soon as we can." Zaine stated with a serious expression, understanding the severity of the issue.
Shuangtian nodded. "That's right, we're also counting on you guys. Do you best and everything should be fine."
Roma sighed and pulled Zaine as well as Hikari away. "We won't stick around any longer, we are very close to reaching the True God stage. Try to hang on till then."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Evil Trio used the passage to head down to Vita Kingdom and then used Draco's teleportation to appear in front of the incoming army. After all, there were very few on the main plane who could intercept a power like this.
Their expressions were dark as they immediately decided to lower the numbers of the foes by using their most powerful AOE moves at once.
「Active 1 – Sheerpressure: The moon abounds closer to the land, the waters go out of control. When in close proximity with the land, all entities will feel the geological and spatial pressure, as if they were 20,000 leagues under the sea.

Hum dee hum dee hum…
Hm?
What's that?
Why is the sky black?
Oh shit, the sky is opening! There's void on the other side with a planet, a moon and a sun…
How beautiful!
If only I could show this to- OH MY GOD, THEY ARE COMING RIGHT AT US!!
The armada that was imposing and full of endless grandeur was now filled with limitless fear and regret as they watched these three planetary bodies rushed towards them with all the love and care of a road roller from your friendly neighborhood vampire.
The Evil Trio imbued their Laws into the celestial bodies, which put them on the level of a Divine attack. This was so that all the mortal forces within its range would be wiped out and would make things easier for Evil Trio next.
Speaking of Laws, while many chapters had focused on Draco's, what about Eva and Shuangtian? In this time, they should have had a few moments to sort out their massive Divine Essence gains from leeching off of poor hardworking Draco all this while.
Not to mention their skills could be turned into Laws. While Eva and Shuangtian didn't have too many skills right now, it was enough to create more than a few useful Laws.
