The people of the world could hear everything that the Goddess of Protection is saying. She made her voice be heard for everyone as she wants to protect the world but there is also an underlying tone that she wants to increase her worth as a goddess. She is the most powerful of the Gods of Protection, but they are also not that powerful of a god which is why their influence would be less if they ever meddle.
Only the lesser gods could descend at this point in time where the barrier between realms is still somewhat strong. Also, if a greater god would descend then the barrier that separates the divine realm and mortal realm would immediately tear up. Pann would immediately banish that descending god back to the divine realm.
Even if the commands came from the gods themselves, the Asmodians left the welfare of the world to the Daemos. The specific commands of the Daemos were to make sure that the realm that kept the realms separated must never be broken unless a special number of people are already in the world. The special number of people that the Asmodians refer to are the number of demigods present in the mortal plane.
Currently, there are a few demigods left in the world and those left are even injured or cannot use heir full power. The mortal realm should be reserved for the mortals as mixing gods in would make the world even more chaotic than it is already. It would have been fine if it were just normal gods but there are also dark gods.
With the mission given to the people in the area of the Dragon of Revelation, the factions have been decided with just that. The faction that wants to prevent the Breath of Cataclysm to be fired and the ones that want it to succeed as they will get better rewards. People would think that there would be less players on the side of the Dragon of Revelation but that is not true.
In fact, there are more players that is siding with the Dragon of Revelation compared to the side that is against it. Not many would want to believe but there are a lot of players that play as followers of the dark gods. They just want to keep it low key since being exposed meant execution which means they are tried as a heretic.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNot all people that play as followers of the dark gods are bad. Some people just like the aesthetic of being a villain in an alternate reality since their normal life is dull and boring. Some just wants to re-enact their deepest desires because the real world would judge them harshly if they were to do it there. The small minority just believe that the dark gods are cool or misjudged.
If Creepysoo did not discover the undead, then he might have been a follower of the dark god instead. All his friends believe that he would have been if he did not become the Prince of the Undead. Just like with the Gods of Pandemonium, the Dark Gods also have factions as well which means not all of them agree with each other.
Just like now, some followers of the dark gods opted to back out and join the other side. There were also some on the other side that thought that making the wish of the Dragon of Revelation come true be more helpful for them. As humans decide or weigh the results of their actions, so does the players. They would move to the side that helps them or benefits them the most if they are only caught in the middle.
When the players chose the quest that they will proceed with, their name color changes to reflect the path that they have chosen. A red name color for the ones that chose to prevent the Breath of Cataclysm and a blue name color for the ones that support it.
When the Dragon of Revelation raised all of its seven heads and started to accumulate vast amounts of energy, it was the signal for both teams to commit to their mission. In fact, even some of the monsters that previously sided with the Dragon of Revelation suddenly switched to the other side when they learned of the great one that summoned them would destroy the surface world.
All of a sudden, the enemies became allies while allies became enemies. The war that became silent due to the death of all the Horsemen of the Apocalypse suddenly sparked once more. The ones inside the barrier did not know that the quest to aid the Goddess of Protection is happening because they might have chosen differently if they were to know that.
The developers wanted those involve in the inside to only make a decision based on their current status without outside factors involved. They wanted to know how people will react if they are presented choice that has equal opportunities with the only controlled variable is the Dragon of Revelation.
"Do you have an idea to stop that?" Levin Cloud asked Adrian as they all grouped back up.
The guild leaders went back to their respective guilds as they needed to plan on stopping the Dragon of Revelation. They did not cut off communication though as it will be important now more than ever. They still have that collective group chat, and some are also added in like Hou Yiwei and Frey.
"Maybe we could take care of one head then aim for the others?" Peridot asked.
"Even Kanlaon with his full power breath could barely make a dent on that thing. The only thing we could do is prevent it from gathering energy in its mouth. The quest clearly indicated that we cannot kill that thing. It is a god after all and none of us have god killing weapons. There are only two of the four god slaying weapons present in the battle right now." Adrian stated.
There are currently two god killers in the battle. The remaining two seems to have vanished elsewhere or did not show up because they are caught up in a different mission. Either way, the curse on the wielders of the god slaying weapons have already been lifted when the Horsemen of the Apocalypse were defeated.
"All we need is to point attacks to its mouth then?" Creepysoo stated with a smile as he suddenly gave an idea on how to do that.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCreepysoo told everyone that they only need to deliver lots of undead to the mouths of the Dragon of Revelation and he will do the rest. Although the plan is easy, the way to deliver undead to the mouths of the Dragon of Revelation is not. There are countless monsters that are left but what else could they do.
"It is a good thing that there are lots of undead here that we can use. When your transformation was over, the undead became weaker and a bunch of skeletons are left. We can easily carry them there and chuck then inside the mouths like a game." Lycan stated.
"Can I join as well?" Frey asked as she does not have a guild or a team to team up with so she decided that she would not mind being on Adrian's team.
"That is fine with me. If I remember, she has a Pegasus so she will be able to help us." Adrian stated but they teased him for it though.
"We should hurry then. That dragon is already gathering enough energy to nuke the world and we are still chatting." Solstice stated as she grabbed two zombies and dashed towards the Dragon of Revelation.
Lycan followed as well and grabbed two skeletons towards the Dragon of Revelation. Levin Cloud grabbed five zombies using vines and vanished in the ground. Vayu created three small twisters that carried three zombies and dashed through the air with them.
Soleil made Regulus eat five zombies and charged towards the Dragon of Revelation like fierce flaming lion. It is a wonder how those zombies did not get burnt to a crisp, but it seems that they are considered allies. Frey made thorny vines with roses grow from her spear as she summoned her mount to carry ten skeletons. She made it look so easy despite skeletons are also heavy.
Peridot made use of her clay soldiers as an outer shell for the skeletons as created mist to quietly reach the Dragon of Revelation. Other teams are wondering what Adrian's team is doing carrying undead, but they needed to focus on their tasks. They also though of plans to hit the mouth of the Dragon of Revelation in an attempt to cancel the channeling.
"Gather as much undead that you need. I will take care of one of the heads already to test if our theory is correct." Adrian stated as Creepysoo nodded and created more undead to group them up.
