"So, join us."
The majority of Gods hesitated at her words, unable to decide who they should join. Everyone was aware that their strength was lacking to face a Primordial Beast. Even those realms with a Champion weren't even confident in scratching a Primordial Beast.
So, only the Champions of the Greater Realms had that possibility. And the only way to strengthen them further was to have more Vassal Realms.
This was the only way in which they could strengthen themselves the fastest. Moreover, this was the only way the weaker realms would have hope for survival.
A Primordial Beast was indeed capable of destroying a realm. The Kun Peng might not do it, but a Taotie would definitely devour it, for that was what it was known for.
And considering that it was a war for their survival, each of the eight representatives would come in for the kill from the get-go.
After some hesitation, the various realms began to ally themselves with the Greater Realm of their choice.
There were 84 Realms in total in the Greater Universe. And among them, only 19 Realms had a Realm Spirit. So, the number of Champions they had was only 22, considering the Kun Realm had two and the TTT had three.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA mere twenty Champions were all they had that could face a Primordial Beast. Among them, only the Champions of the Greater Realms were strong enough to actually injure the Primordial Beasts. The remainder of the Champions would only be useful in defending the perimeter to ensure the people aren't destroyed by the shockwaves of the fight.
Soon after, things took a surprising turn once the various Realms expressed willingness to become the Vassal Realms of the four Greater Realms.
The one that gained the most Vassal Realms was the Kun Realm, standing at a sheer value of 27. This was because of a simple yet valuable reason.
Among the 19 Realms with a Realm Spirit were five Vassal Realms of the Kun Realm, originally weak realms. It was the Kun Realm that awakened the Realm Spirit for each of them, causing a sharp increase in their number of Gods.
So, considering the Kun Realm's capability, not to mention it being able to shield them with the spatial storm barrier and able to reinforce them within a second thanks to the Rune Realm, the Kun Realm gained the maximum support.
However, this was where things took a strange turn because of the Mong Realm.
Despite being the most hated realm, the one with the worst reputation for having taken the most number of lives, and despite losing the God King, their pillar of support, the Mong Realm had also gained 27 Vassal Realms.
The reasoning was even simpler: The Mong Realm Gods were the strongest. An elite Mong Realm God was stronger than the Champions of weaker Realms. It was a fact everyone had witnessed.
Moreover, there existed two other Gods in the Mong Realm apart from the God King, having killed Champions on their own.
The Mong Realm could never be trusted, but there was one thing they could be trusted upon. And that was their ability to kill.
Since all the Mong Realm promised was to kill the Primordial Beasts, the realms that had experienced the sheer might of the Mong Realm directly submitted to its rule.
Following them was the Garg Realm at 19 Vassal Realms, and the worst affected was the TTT, barely managing to get 11 Vassal Realms.
This was somewhat their fault, though, as they had been wholly focused on stabilizing their realm and didn't focus on recruiting other realms. They hadn't even dispatched envoys to engage in talks with the other realms.
But what was done was done as it was every Realm for itself.
With that, all preparations were in effect as each of the four Greater Realms used all the means at their disposal to help the Vassal Realms join their ranks.
The Gods of the four Greater Realms experienced a sharp rise in their strength as their laws were amplified by the similar laws from the Vassal Realms.
Joint training sessions were conducted between the Greater Realm and their fellow Vassal Realms to raise their strength as much as possible while all their focus was on becoming as strong as possible.
Intelligence was exchanged between the four Greater Realms, including weapons and the likes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Kun Realm even sold a Satellite Realm weapon to each of the three Greater Realms. Among the TTT, the strongest, the Dolk Realm Champion, obtained the Satellite Realm weapon.
Krune had created a few extra Satellite Realm weapons with the help of little Krune that was multitasking. Gegrafikan then changed the laws in it to suit the target of purchase.
The Garg Realm Champion also got one, and in the Mong Realm, the Satellite Realm weapon was requested to be wielded by Mon-Tu-Casha. But unfortunately, Gegrafikan wasn't able to do that as he had no clue regarding her power. So, that was put on hold for the time being.
Hundred years wasn't a long time for the Gods, especially since the preparations required were of a ginormous scale.
The various Greater Realms hadn't even finished their preparations as time was up, for eight entities emerged out from the densest spatial storm that existed at the center of the Greater Universe, each the size of a small Satellite Realm.
But what was terrifying was their strength, which was slightly superior to Tallo. They were by far the strongest among the Younger Generation of the Primordial Beasts.
And now, the eight representatives, each as terrifying as the other, all stronger than the Taotie that claimed the God King's life.
Emerging from the densest spatial storm, they each gazed at one another as the Kun Peng representative spoke, "There are four targets in total. All the Realms have congregated around the Greater Realms now. And they are all protected by shells."
"We'll split ourselves into teams of two." The Kun Peng representative looked at the others, asking, "Now, who are all willing to go to the Mong Realm?"
"Definitely me." The Taotie representative stepped up, emitting a baleful chuckle. "Their Champion dared to kill one of us. So, it only makes sense that I devour their realm, right?"
"Besides, it's by far the juiciest among all the Greater Realms."
