  Within the gigantic spaceship h above the p, Great Priestess Bloodcw, ander of the Bloodcw Forces that have begun their slow, pnned invasion over Earth, g the p and its surface, ri rge quantities of otherworldly energies and many new gray-colored portals to use aer new worlds to invade and quer.

  “This world is truly one of a kind,” she smiled. “As long as our invasion tinues and od finds new Vessels, we’ll be able to expand our Empire endlessly across the many Gray Portals. We simply o take over them, and they’ll be ours. How wonderful it is, isn’t it, my Lord? tless worlds for us—no, for you to quer a on.”

  “Yes, I hardly wait,” her God spoke through the lips of Martian Man, a member of the Superhero Group that had nded oh actally who had flown to Mars to find out if his people were alive in this timeline, only to be disappointed once more, and then subdued and became his vessel. “The vessels I’ve secured on the p are good and strong enough. However, the one I desire the most due to his strange powers ran away. Send as many soldiers as possible after him. I must secure that body. His ability to move beyond lightning speed, or perhaps even time, must beine.”

  "My Lord, you mean the human who calls himself Wingspeed, yes?" Bloodquired, her mind able to read Martian Man's thoughts. asked Bloodcw, as she had read the mind of Martian Man before being possessed, allowio learn about his many allies and past.

  “Yes, Wingspeed, a ridiculous name,” ughed the Dinod. “His power inates from a straype of energy that does within this pne of existence called the Speedium Particles, his superpower is being able to manipute them and utilize them as he wishes. A mutation born from an act that should have killed him. If I procure such a body, with the bination of Gaxy Man, Marvelous Woman, Jade Star, and this body, I’ll be able to do anything I please! Invulnerability, absolute strength, an ageless, immortal body, the power to ma and materialize anything, and then... the ability to manipute Speedium Particles and move through time as I wish! My eternal quest shall begin in that very moment!”

  “Aaah! I hardly wait, my Lord!” Bloodcw was fasated by her lord’s knowledge and his pns. “I’ve already sent dozens of drones after him! He has left a rge trail of such particles everywhere he runs to, so it’s impossible to miss where he is!”

  “Good…” he Primal Dinod. “We will also be moving some of our forces to take over key points. Primarily, the area where their leaders are located. As my vessels are within that are known as North America, we will move there first. Target areas that are important as well as… Hmm, that strange golden building over there. Isn’t it there where their savior is? That too; target it. We’ll alset the city she protects to impact their mentality more, so the humans bee obedient upon our quest.”

  “Very well, it shall be done- Huh?”

  [WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!]

  [Three Css A1 Spaceships had been lost in bat against an Otherworldly Enemy.]

  [Rep Results of Battle. Uploading rec of what had occurred within the e.]

  “T-This is…?!”

  Bloodced as she saw the messages appear through the rge ss of the spaceship, her eyes widening as she saw a man red swinging a bzing sword aing the reptilians with ease.

  Then a massive tentacled robot crushing them to death, and stly, how the humaered that robot’s body and triggered a transformation that even increased the monster’s size and form, making it even stroo the point it easily destroyed the spaceships.

  They were Css A1 Spaceships, which were used for both scouting new areas and to engage in battle. These vehicles were able to move rapidly across spad fire powerful sers capable of vaporizing most matter.

  It didhere though; what the cameras were able to record at the st sed was the red suit hero carrying some people he had found while ending up meeting with Wingspeed, the prey the Primal God of Dinosaurs desired as his vessel.

  “Another variable! Where did this man e from?! He’s a human, right? Not even the monkeys from our world are this powerful…!” she pined. “Our kin were able to easily overwhelm that A Martian Man that became your new body, my Lord. But this is…!”

  “Hmm…” the God remained in silence as his eyes glowed bright red, squinting while analyzing the footage. “I see. Heh, very iing. It seems that our perception of humans being weaklings might ge a little. Although they’re nothing but livestock… That man and the powers he possesses give him an incredible edge above your kind. Especially that gigantic, biomeical being. Is this something your teology reproduce yet?”

  “At some point we sidered building giant maes, but we thought that without better sources of energy for teology, it would end up being rather… Well, ineffit.” Bloodcw muttered, trying not to sound too rude so her Lord wouldn’t get mad. “Creating maes of such caliber would be mostly useless; it simply ot be sustained with our current or perhaps even future teology.”

  “So you are saying that maes of that level of power only be created with special, unique sources of energy?” the God asked calmly.

  “Y-Yes… We believe that perhaps these maes from other worlds utilize energies uo their own realms to run these gigantic, powerful maes that give them a great edge against others,” Bloodcw expined. “However, there’s nothing to worry about, my Lord, the members of my Esper Family should be enough to deal with them.”

  “…No,” said the God. “I will deal with them personally. Your Family Members… sent them to the locations I told you to.”

  “V-Very well, it shall be done as you wish,” Bloododded.

  “…”

  The God g the p down below, his Divine Senses feeling the presence of various magical and supernatural energies twisting and iy stantly.

  .

  .

  .

  An enormous army flew across the skies, carried by a cloud of pure, glistening golden light, leading them on a Roman-style carriage that was being carried by two huge and muscur bzing stallions. A man with long blonde hair and shiny eyes gnced into the horizon.

  His eyes full of greed for power and greatness g the beautiful castle that his brother had built within a pce he learned was called “Washington DC” right behind an historical building, the “White House”.

  “So this is where my brother has been hiding…” he smiled, giggling. “How iing! You’ve built yourself quite the fortress, brother!”

  “Lord Cudius, the army is ready to attack at any moment,” his most trusted general, a formidable-looking man with clear brown skin, short red hair, and blue eyes. “Shall we begin the assault? We’ve ighe civilians as you’ve ordered. I know they’re valuable assets that you wouldn’t want to get caught itle.”

  “Yes, this is a battle between soldiers and kings, not between civilians. Although I ot tell the rest to evacuate, unfortunately,” sighed Cudius. “Whatever the case, there might be some casualties, but it doesn’t matter, as long as the majority survives. They will all bee a work fore to mine Mana Crystals and gather other Unique Resources from this p.”

  “Yes, my lord,” Germaniodded, his eyes full of admiration over his king’s devotion and mercy towards the weak masses. Although he talked pragmatically about their value as a work force, he khat his Lord also was someone who pitied the weak; as a Noble, he believed it was his duty to protect them, something that many of the Emperor’s children never ingrained into their minds, a cept known as “Noblesse Oblige” which Cudius took as his basis for all his as.

  “Now, Atticus,” Cudius gred at the "traitor," the man that had betrayed King Caesar and allied with King Cudius; his long casg bck hair and emerald eyes gnced back with surprise, and we saw the majestic appearance of his King. “Tell me, has my brother been told about my invasion?”

  “Of course not,” said Atticus. “But by now, I believe he should’ve learned due to everyone’s prese being suppressed. No matter though, there is no way for him to have prepared in time.”

  “I see…” Cudius nodded. “Although it is rather dishonorable of me to attack my brother without him expeg it, I suppose this is war at the end. It is not my fault that he will lose against me, but his own for being na?ve and inpetent as a leader. Now, let’s begin.”

  Cudius uhed a golden sword from a hilt ed around his hips, swinging it forward. The people all around him roared in unison, over ten thousand Level 6000 soldiers with golden wings and auras, sharing the Blessing Cudius has given to them.

  “Caesar! I know you’re there, brother!” Cudius said. “This is your first and st ce to surrender before the might of my army! I have e here to cim this nd as my own. If you have any objes, then e and fight me; if not, remain where you are. I am ing for you!”

  “OOOOOHHHHH!”

  The soldiers roared in unison like a chorus of manly warriors filled with excitement for the great battle that was to e.

  A…

  There was no respohe castle seemed empty outside, and no soldiers were outside either.

  Cudius felt like this was a bit… suspicious.

  “Hm…” he rubbed his . “Oh well… Charge! Destroy the castle walls! And anybody that dares to stand on your side, sughter them in the name of the !”

  “RAAAAHHHH!”

  The soldiers became a single mass of fervent bloodthirst, rushing down from the skies and impag the castle down below. The people that g the se from below, mostly tourists, ran away instantly as the castle walls began to be breached.

  BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

  bination teiques from dozens of soldiers at oarted to rapidly shatter the walls, and so the magic barrier geed by the walls around the entire castle.

  As the tremors tinued, within the castle, there was a single person standing ihrone room, her long ears, long blonde hair, and clear emerald eyes gnced into the skies.

  Runes activated across the entire castle, her hands moving up; hundreds of threads ected to the Runes shaped and moved the entire castle.

  A giant, glowing sphere of pure Mana was right in front of her, overflowing the entire castle with immense power.

  “The iion of my daughter… Let’s see if it truly works.”

  She smiled as the entire castle trembled!

  RUMBLE!

  “Hm? Is it falling already?”

  For a moment, Cudius imagihat the castle was already crumbling down to reveal there was nobody inside, perhaps a decoy to make his army trate on an area, not like he cared; this was nothing to him anyway.

  A…!

  BOOOM!

  A massive stone fist surged out of nowhere, pung dozens of soldiers at the same time and sending them flying into the skies, most of them exploding into pieces due to the massive force, their bodies twisted and broken apart.

  “Hm?!”

  Cudius remaiill as he g the se, for a single punch from a huge stone fist to kill a few dozens of Level 6000 soldiers further strengthened by his buff…

  Was this even real life anymore?

  “How is this… Wait a minute!”

  RUMBLE!

  The entire castle tinued moving, rapidly transf, gaining massive legs and gigantic stone arms, overflowing with immense quantities of Mana.

  The sphere in front of the only person ihe castle tinued overflowing with energy, spreading the Mana through all the Runes within the castle.

  This ecial Magic Core fed by bining tens of thousands of powerful Monster Cores from S Rank Monsters or above.

  The amount of Mana it tained could fuel aire p with energy for a whole year!

  “GRUUUOOOOHHHH!”

  The massive Castle Golem roared, gaining a humanoid head made of stoh gigantic stone arms and enpassed by an aura of red and blue color, which rapidly began growing wooden roots and branches everywhere.

  “{Yggdrasil’s Divine Spirit Armor}!”

  FLAAASH!

  As if things couldn’t get any worse, the giganti Castle gained a mighty Spiritual Armor, made of a special wood that only Yggdrasil Trees possessed.

  “This is the magic that the Elves from Floor 71 wield, isn’t it? Iing…! To think my brother pnned for such a thing! I ot believe it; how did he knoere ing? Or was this the result of his paranoia?”

  BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM!

  The golem tinued pung away soldiers after soldiers, killing over half of the ohat were punched away. It grew giant, sharp gaus made of wood on its fists to boot.

  “No, it wasn’t any of those things, my brother.”

  “Oh?”

  Cudius smiled, hearing the voice of his brother appear above the skies as Caesar and his entire army teleported right above Cudius army!

  They weren’t as many as his army, but his brother’s soldiers were still rather strong looking… And there was someoher mysterious by his side.

  A half-elf girl with bck hair and green eyes.

  “Oh, brother… I am pleased to finally see you! To think you have su adorable ambush prepared for me, I am truly moved to tears.” Cudius ughed.

  “Cudius!” roared Caesar. “I will never five you for this treason! Prepare yourself for the sequences, brother!”

  “Oh my, I am so scared,” ughed Cudius. “Go!”

  The armies cshed amidst the skies, geing shockwaves and explosions of magic, the skies stantly gaining tless colors of magid on teiques being unleashed.

  “So they really came, as you said, my daughter,” Caesar said, smiling at his daughter. “I will never doubt you anymore, Cecil.”

  “Thank you, father!” Cecil felt honored. “But please, don’t rex too much yet; Uncle Cudius is someoerrifyingly strong… We have to think of a pn first!”

  “I know…” Caesar nodded. “A, I must fight him. I must put to the test all the strength Master Bing Xue has given to me.”

  Both siblings poiheir swords against one another and charged with all their might.

  There was nothing else left to say.

  CLAAASH!
