A decade passed by after Zick rose to godhood.
Few problems were faced in this period, Zick could take care of most monsters that attacked his world.
Surprisingly, Zick had gotten his hand on a unique world, which did not use mana and instead used another power source altogether. This kind of world was very rare, one in millions.
A rare kind of god can be born from this world.
Zick took over multiple semi-worlds, where the core was still in the process of being born. No one stopped him, as almost no one was interested in them.
Like this, Zick got his hand on 12 low-grade worlds, thanks to Aurel's time flow strengthening.
No monster above god rank appeared, it was mainly due to the low-grade world core. Such a low-grade core did not interest great god-level monsters at all.
Zick had looked into the dragon race, and it was a lot more complicated than he thought.
A dragon was one of the main pillars of the dark faction. It was known as the dragon court.
The reason Zick looked into them was very simple, he wanted to eat them. But now, it appeared to be impossible. It was a taboo around here to hunt any dragon, unless provoked.
And a while back, the dragon court invited Zick to become one of them. This made him feel complex within, and wariness filled him.
'If they were to find my dragon slayer statues, My death is assured, there is no place that I can run to....' Zick opened his eyes, breaking his meditative mood.
Zick rejected the invitation in the end, showing off an arrogant attitude of being free. This was not weird as most of the dragon race had such a mindset too.
'I will keep my interaction with them as low as possible.'
No one could eat dragons to strengthen themselves anyway too, at least the people who had ascended to god rank.
It was impossible to add any other characteristic to divinity, once it had fully formed. Hence, Trying to add a draconic element to the divinity was suicide.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnd the dragon race was not stupid either. They had made methods that would destroy their body automatically, the moment they die.
Zick got up sensing someone coming towards him.
The door of his room opened, exposing two beutiful girls, who appeared to be 18 years old. They were the twin dragons!
They had grown up in this past decade, both in appearance and strength. They were both in demi-god rank and Arianell was ticking nearer to god rank!
'It is just a matter of time before both of them become a god.' Zick smiled at both of them.
Arianell and Aurel smiled too at the response. Unlike in the past, when they would jump into his embrace immediately, they had matured a lot.
Their beauty had become even more abnormal too, they could win the hearts of many with a single glance.
"Father, we have moved the other planet nearer to this one and enhanced the time flow too," Arianell reported with an anticipated expression.
Zick got up while speaking in a light tone: "Thank you for your hard work. Moving worlds and changing the time flow helps me a lot."
Both of their expressions beamed at once.
From Zick's observation, these two strived to gain his praise. He even felt pride rising within him, these two have learned many things from him.
Most of the time, Arianell and Aurel maintained cold expressions like Zick. They were even able to carry out the task in another world perfectly, they had a good head, making no mistakes at all.
"Father, are you going to that meeting? Can we come along?" Aurel asked as her silver eyes met Zick's.
"You can come along, it's not that dangerous." Zick accepted with no hesitation.
They were of course talking about the advertisement party that Lifare was holding in a few months. Only gods were coming, so it did not pose much threat to Zick.
"Well, leaving them aside, Arianell, are you ready?" Zick turned his gaze to Arianell and Yuriel, who appeared at the door.
"Yes." She answered with a serious look.
Zick had only one last low-grade world core left; to refill his stock, he was going to take down some low-grade worlds from the light faction.
Zick had already entered the mid-stage of the god rank a long time ago. He was nearing the peak of this rank as time went by.
Taking out dozens of space cores, Zick handed them over to Arianell. He had a very serious expression.
On this trip, Zick only planned on robbing low-grade world cores. It would be too risky to aim for a mid-grade, he was able to succeed before only because no great god was present.
Great gods could easily perceive the fluctuation of space and even stop it. They could influence others' divinity, easily dismissing the ones who were weaker than them.
According to the information Zick gathered, matters connected to their divinity's elements were easily controllable to them. There was no need for any divinity in this process either.
The thought of fighting any god with fire element near a sun gave rise to goosebumps to Zick. If he had stayed behind while the sun god appeared, he would have been really crushed to death, even if Taweir protected him.
There are suns in most of the world, and the ones which don't have them, get an artificial sun that the gods create.
"Let's go." Zick did not need to remind them of their roles, they had all matured and become veterans in their paths. If he repeated himself, it would be no different than nagging now.
Arianell held Zick's sleeves with her pale hand, and Yuriel moved near them, immediately three of them vanished. Aurel moved to take a rest for today.
Their first target was — the merriler world, located in the Gaspelian Galaxy.
Zick was body moving out as a bodyguard, in case some accident occurs and Arianell was found out.
The core of the Merriler world was stolen before the god could even notice. Such an occurrence was not shocking anymore, because of the biological golem Zick sold.
Many countermeasures were made to guard against such a thing. The gods with space elements might not have been willing initially but after such an incident, they had to make countermeasures themselves.
Like that, the light faction had suffered immense losses. Lifare was the one to get the highest benefits out of anyone.
The gods from the dark faction were not fools, they bit the light faction like wild dogs, just where it hurt. After all, such a thing would only be possible for a limited amount of time.
However, such things could not stop Arianell, she bypassed the barrier and arrived before the world core. Touching it, she teleported to the next world.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDoing such a thing dozens of times, the stock of space cores was emptied. After using her quasi-divinity to the limit, she began to feel burnt out.
"You did well, take some rest for now." Zick supported Arianell and turned to Yuriel, who nodded her head.
Yuriel changed place with Arianell immediately, she had ascended to the god rank. But even for her, teleporting a dozen times was the limit.
They were teleporting for who knows how many thousand light years away.
Most of the locations of this low-grade were brought from Lifare and Taweir. They were like Zick's biggest sponsors.
Because of past events, the location of the world sold for quite a lot. Still, these two people gave it to Zick at a low price.
With Yuriel's effort, Zick easily looted more low-grade world cores. Nevertheless, incidents were assured to happen.
The world core that Zick was planning on usurping, had a god standing before the World core the moment he appeared. And this was not coincident, news had already spread about their deeds.
A battle ensued at once.
'Hmm, their reaction is fast, I was expecting them to take up their guard a while later.' Zick clashed with another wave of crimson swords.
Zick waved his hand as if dusting away some dust. The wave of swords was destroyed just like that, and instead, hundreds of black swords took their place.
The black sword containing the power of chaos surrounded the god before Zick.
Zick's attacks were like a surging tide, attacking from every corner of the world. The blades shot at the enemy god, who resisted bitterly. In the end, he died a horrible death submerged in Zick's attack.
"Let's stop for now and go back." Zick wisely decided to retreat.
If the light faction ambushes him after predicting Zick's next destination, it would be quite hard to survive unscathed.
'Especially the one whom I just robbed, they would attack me holding a deep grudge. They might just put their life on the line to kill me.'
There was a high chance of such a god existing, not many were like Zick, who was able to gain a supporter and multiple world cores from the beginning.
These gods had only one or two worlds below them, and now, even that was taken away by some unknown party. Their hatred and fury were understandable.
Zick returned to his world with Yuriel's help.
