｢System to Player Announcement
Congratulations! You have completed the first part of a transcendent world-level quest and have acquired the means to continue to the second part. Due to your extremely high completion score, you have a maximum of 1 year until the second part must begin forcefully, and you can check its details below!｣
Draco looked at the details before him with a smile, putting the screens aside to deal with the members of Umbra, who were packing up. As they loaded the airship while chatting about their recent experience with animated expressions, Draco flew to the helm where Gremory stood with a grin.
"Man, that was fun! You have to bring me out to play again next time, Draco!" The woman demanded with a gleam in her eye.
Draco flicked her forehead lightly, making her pout in complaint. "Stop thinking about troubling people every day. Can't you sit in one place and be a good girl for once?"
"Hmph, says the Abyssal Eternal," Gremory retorted with a look of disdain, making Draco sigh in defeat.
Meanwhile, the members of Umbra were completely mesmerized by Gremory. After all, looking at her standing beside Draco was like looking at the same person but split into two different genders. Half of the reason the whole world craved Gremory was precisely because she looked like a carbon copy of Draco but with feminine features.
I can't subdue the strongest and most influential man in the world because it's gay, but I sure can try with his almost twin sister!
Not to mention that there were many for whom such limitations did not affect them!
The airship soon took to the sky and began to climb upwards, making the ruins of Conquest City and the mountain that supported it become small in their eyes. The members of Umbra joined Draco and Gremory in looking over the side of the deck to glance down on this battlefield that had likely changed many of their fates.
Draco stepped off the ship and into the air, his expression neutral and unfeeling.
He raised a finger casually, from which torrents of energy began to gather towards it, causing a literal storm in the area.
The members of Umbra watched with horrified expressions as a giant ball of grayish-black colored fire began to grow and swell atop Draco's finger, going from the size of a tennis ball to a basin, to a small car, then a small house, and finally… to the size of a sprawling mansion!
"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, let everything be buried in the sands of time…" Draco said cryptically, his eyes flashing with a dark light as he grunted and pointed down, the ball of flame following his fingertip.
The flame ball soared downward slowly in the eyes of the members of Umbra, but it was extremely quick for any living being that still existed on this isle. The closer it got to the ground, the more the pressure made things shrink and bend under the supposed weight.
The heat roiled, causing flames to appear on the edges of everything on the isle below, causing them to warm rapidly but not burn right away. Like a homing missile, the ball careened towards the mountain specifically, striking its base where the city resided below.
KRAKOOOMM!!!
The explosion was beyond description.
All the members of Umbra knew that regardless of Rank 5, 6, or 7, their entire bodies shook as if hit by a truck, and blood leaked out of their seven orifices. Their bloodshot eyes saw a flash of red and white color engulf the world before feeling a crushing weight pressing down their bodies, attaching them to the deck of the ship rather than sending them flying.
The heavens cried as the skies parted and clouds disappeared, the blue sunny sky replaced by a blood-red hue that stretched for thousands of kilometers in all directions. Heat roiled off, causing intense heat to appear on the bodies of the members of Umbra, with many even taking first-degree burns if their constitution was not up to par.
The entire island was covered in horrifying grayish-black flames that ate away at the land, the life, and the elements upon it. Looking down, the large isle that could house hundreds of thousands of people had become a fractured landmass with more than 95% buried under the sea or floating away as charred rock.
Nothing remained that would remind one of the previously bustling isle here, nothing at all. The remaining landmass that could be stepped on, apart from being charred, was so small that not even a house could be built on each piece.
Conquest Isle was truly… gone.
Draco slowly took back his finger with a casual expression, his body naturally unharmed by this meager blast. He was satisfied with his work, returning to the bow of the ship where a similarly unharmed Gremory glanced at him with a strange expression.
"You really like theatrics. Why not use destruction energy and rather use high-tier fire energy?"
Draco stroked her head gently and smiled slightly. "Because it's not about the outcome, but about sending a message."
He took his hand back and folded it behind him casually. "Everyone knows my destructive capabilities, and like you, they would expect me to use it here. However, they will naturally ask themselves the same question you did upon seeing this outcome, and that is the effect I want to achieve."
Draco's eyes narrowed. "They will realize that my destruction energy is not the only thing that can destroy their homes and livelihoods."
These words were uttered with such coldness and malice that a normal person would be trembling in response, but Gremory's eyes lit up like stars as her worshipful expression could not be hidden anymore.
"Big brother, you're so awesome!" She squealed like a fangirl, making Draco chuckle as he stroked her hair once more.
"We go!" Draco commanded loudly, causing the airship to turn and begin moving in the direction of Vita's Capital Continent. The members of Umbra either remained on the deck or went down to play with their newly captured slaves, making the pleasant ship be surrounded by a devilish and ominous air of evil and suffering.
Gremory went down to take some sexy pictures of herself for her fan pages since she was out, with interesting captions like: 'out with my big bro, my whole body is tingling' and 'traveling on an airship, kyaaa, the wind pushed up my skirt!'
These thirst trap pictures, once uploaded, would probably cause countless fellows to rush for their tissues and soap, something which did not really excite Gremory but rather made her feel endless disdain for the world.
Just look at her magnificent older brother! Despite being the object of her darkest fantasies, he only had purity in his eyes when he looked at her, not moved by her charm at all!
Fellow friends in the crowd, don't bother trying to understand or sympathize with this one, she is far gone down the path of unreasonableness in thinking.
While the airship moved rapidly through the airspace of the Main Plane, Draco finally brought up the details of the two rewards he had been given for completing this World Quest.
｢Plane Merger Device Blueprint – Design
Rank: Divine (100% effectiveness)
Effect: Allows one to learn how to craft the plane merger device.｣
｢Realm Portal Device Blueprint – Design
Rank: Divine (100% effectiveness)
Effect: Allows one to learn how to craft the floating realm portal device.｣
Two divine blueprints, and while their specific functions could not be stated until he actually crafted them, one could use their IQ to calculate their effects based on their names.
The Realm Portal Device was likely meant for creating what the War Maniac Pavilion used to send him into the Void Nexus and from the Void Nexus into various realms. The value of the device was inestimable because it would provide Draco a way to create his own foothold to leave the Western Fantasy realm as he pleased without caring about the War Maniac Pavilion or the Origin Gods of Western Fantasy.
Both NPCs and players would need this, and Draco surmised it was a natural late-game item for players to acquire during the Origin God arc of the main story. With this, players would reach the peak in this realm and then be able to venture outwards to new realms for new content without having to rely solely on the Void Pass.
After all, the Void Pass not only had limited uses, but it only allowed for direct travel from one realm to another, no return trip. For a late-game player who had likely established a Divine Empire in the main plane, a Divine Pantheon in the Divine Realm, and an Origin Community in the Core Plane, abandoning all of this would be a fate worse than death. .com_v l|e-.com
As for the Plane Merger Device, seeing it made Draco's eyes narrow.
There had been a theory among players in the previous timeline that for them to ascend to True God status and break the deadlock on their halted growth, they would need to come together to merge all the small worlds, Side Realms, and whatnot that broke off from the main plane back to the source, creating a supermassive consolidated plane.
However, after coming to this timeline and broadening his knowledge, Draco knew that the players had thought too simply. Consolidating the plane would not just make them find the path to becoming True Gods but likely return the main plane to the era where even Origin Gods could walk among the common man.
This was a semi-endgame level item, meant for the junction between the peak of the True God phase and the beginning of the Origin God phase. For Draco, who had not yet even dealt with the grey rot fully, it was a bit too early, but it was fine because the earlier, the better.
After all, regardless of the sweetness of the two blueprints, he encountered one major issue with both of them.
He was not yet a Divine Rank Magical Engineer, so he couldn't craft them!
Even if he relied on a True God of that tradeskill, without them belonging to his guild or being one of his family, how could he possibly trust them? These two blueprints were not useful just in Western Fantasy but could be used in all realms for many things!
Even if a tragic disaster was about to doom the world and these blueprints were the only things that could save the day, Draco would still not hand them out, even if the other person was a saint! He could only learn them himself and make them by hand!
Hmm, it seemed that he would have to enter his tradeskill seclusion much earlier this time around.
As for the second part of the War of the Worlds quest, Draco decided he would look at it later. Right now, he simply wanted to head back and take stock of his gains as well as continue to pursue his passions in crafting and Refinement.
Not to mention, as a married man, he must frequently satisfy his wives!
Thinking about the lineup of round peaches awaiting him when his babes bent over to wag their behinds at him, Draco's heart felt hot, and his breathing became rapid. He could no longer care and opened a portal in front of the airship, swallowing them into the expanse of sub-space as they appeared above the Rally Point in Vita Capital City.
With a cheer, the members of Umbra disembarked as the airship landed at the rally point, calling over the serf players to come and sort out the 'goods' they had brought back while Draco and Gremory entered another portal, returning to the Divine Realm, which was bustling.
Immediately, Eva, Shuangtian, Zaine, Roma, and Hikari appeared beside Draco, about to ask him about his trip when he quickly captured them all and rushed into a nearby castle, pounding sounds soon emerging from there.
Meanwhile, Gremory could only look on from afar with a red face and desperate eyes, her entire body trembling as fluid leaked from between her legs.
