Governor Ray's army had also arrived at the Mountain of Demise. The reason why it took him so long was that he settled some of his soldiers in the Spring Land to create a stand on that piece of land. In short, a part of Spring Land became his territory.
It just took him a few days since the situation in Spring Land wasn't good. Most of the superpowers of that land were gone from the schemes of the Hall of Power.
Governor Ray's soldiers weren't something that anyone could underestimate. They were trained to the limit for this purpose.
"No G.o.d Emperor... You've finally returned..."
Governor Ray muttered to himself while looking at the top of the mountain. He was the descendant of the G.o.d of Hall Plains so he had a connection with No G.o.d Emperor.
No G.o.d Emperor was also a child of his ancestor.
"This is my mission. I have to complete it."
...
In Bland City, below the surface...
Ninth Head was fighting a woman who called herself Aleteya. No, it shouldn't be called a fight. Aleteya was dismantling all of the golems that Ninth Head created with ease.
It was too one-sided. It feels like Aleteya was bullying Ninth Head with her overwhelming power.
Bang!
Ninth Head crashed on the wall and spat a mouthful of blood. She fell to the ground and pressed her palm on the floor. In just a second, she created another golem.
'I can't win... At this rate, I'm going to die.' Ninth Head said to herself as she wiped the blood on the corner of her mouth.
Aleteya was still standing in her position while looking calmly at Ninth Head. It looks like she didn't care about what Ninth Head could do.
Her careless att.i.tude was pressuring Ninth Head. It was enough for her to realize that Aleteya wasn't even using all of her strength.
Aleteya slowly opened her mouth, "Even though this body has deteriorated, you still can't defeat me. Give up before I kill you."
Ninth Head looked gloomy. Her opponent was saying the truth and she couldn't help but feel bad about it. She also couldn't turn her back and let this monster take what was beyond the door.
She waved her hands and created dozens of golems with her remaining mana. She was ready to fight till the end.
Aleteya smiled, seeing Ninth Head's determination. "I admire your courage but it isn't enough if you want to defeat me."
The aura around her suddenly grew stronger.
Boom!
The whole area started to tremble as if it was about to collapse but they knew better that this place was durable since it bathed in the energy of a G.o.d for a thousand years.
The best feram swept in every direction.
Ninth Head turned pale as the golems that she created exploded one by one. When she came to her senses, she realized that Aleteya was standing in front of her.
"Remember that the one who killed you is Aleteya, the Selfless, and Malevolence," Aleteya said coldly. Her hand flashed and it pierced Ninth Head's chest.
Bang!
Ninth Head coughed a mouthful as she stared at Aleteya's face. She already expected this outcome but it's really frustrating to die without even scratching her opponent.
She thought that she grew stronger but it seems that all of her efforts were in vain.
Her vision slowly turned blur as she tried to reach out her hand at Aleteya. In the next second, her hand was rolling in the air and her blood was spraying in every direction.
Today, one of the Nine Heads of the Dragon Council died.
Ninth Head fell onto the ground without any sign of life. She died just like that under the hands of a mysterious monster who called herself Aleteya.
Aleteya gave Ninth Head one more glance before she turned her attention to the majestic jade door.
She pressed her palm on the door when she noticed a presence appeared in the area. She slightly turned her head and said, "And who might you be?"
It was a man that was covered in bandages. He was wearing black trouser with various chains.
The unknown man glanced at Ninth Head's corpse and said, "It seems that I'm already late."
Aleteya was annoyed when this man ignored her. She asked once again, "Who are you?"
The unknown man finally turned to Aleteya. He said, "People called me Grim and I'm here to stop you from achieving your goal."
"A mere mortal like you...? And what do you mean by that? It seems that you have an idea about me." Aleteya raised her eyebrows as if she was amused by this man's statement.
"I know who you are. You are the clone of Aleteya, the Monster Lord of Malevolence, and the Commandment of Selfless." Grim answered calmly.
"Oh, that is pretty interesting... How did you know that my clone is here?" Aleteya asked curiously.
"I have my own sources. When the Commandments attacked the Hall Plains a thousand years ago, you left your clone here in hopes that you will find what you are trying to find back then." Grim paused for a moment before he continued, "G.o.d Vexus's body contained the map of the Authority Famine. He managed to slip into your hands and entered a deep slumber here so you decided to seal one of your clones here."
The seal had a relation with G.o.d Vexus and Mountain of Demise. It would open once the Mountain of Demise had appeared and reacted to the body of Vexus, pointing out his location. The Commandments couldn't do it before since if they stayed in Hall Plains for a little longer, the G.o.ds of G.o.d's Continent wouldn't tolerate their impertinence.
The G.o.ds of G.o.d's Continent also knew that the Commandments had some sort of goal for attacking the Hall Plains but they let them be. The reason was because of No G.o.d Emperor of Hall Plains. So after the Commandments destroyed the Hall of Power, the G.o.ds of G.o.d's Continent warned the Commandments that if they stayed longer in Hall Plains a war would break out between G.o.d's Will and all of the organizations within the continent.
G.o.d's Will had no choice but to pull back. They knew that a conference occurred between the mighty beings of the continent that they would put aside their conflicts just to eliminate a bigger threat. So even if Olympus had war with other Holy Lands, they would sign a temporary treaty just to defeat G.o.d's Will.
Even the Great Lambs were involved in this incident. Mortals didn't know what happened as the mighty beings entirely blocked all the senses of mortals near the Hall Plains. Only G.o.ds knew what was happening in this piece of land at that time.
Aleteya pursed her lips when she heard Grim's words. "You really know what's happening but do you think that you could prevent me from taking it?"
"If that body of yours hasn't deteriorated then I wouldn't stand a chance but it is a different question now," Grim said seriously.
"Are you afraid that No G.o.d Emperor will be freed if you try to stop me?" Aleteya asked.
"Getting your hands on the map of one of the Authorities is a bigger problem. No G.o.d Emperor is alone but you have Ten Commandments." Grim answered.
"Ehe~ that's what you are wrong..." Aleteya chuckled. "Previously, the Great Lambs had intervened but now, Great Lambs will not do anything. The Imperium is different from before. The increase in mana density and the broken rules changed everything. Do you even know that the G.o.ds and monster lords from the shattered dimensions are eyeing the Imperium now?"
Aleteya's expression changed as she faced Grim.
"All the barriers that separated the continents of Imperium will be broken. Those vicious monsters that are hiding in Dark Forest will come out and... The Zodiacs, you should be more worried about them. That man has been eyeing the soul realm for a long time. Now that the rules have been broken, he will make a move sooner than what you've imagined. Also, the Dreamscape... The place where all dreams of living beings crossed had started to show an unusual sign. I have visited Cthulhu's dream and I saw that he has been freed. A war will erupt soon and no one can prevent it."
Grim's expression turned grave when he heard those words. He raised his hands and said, "Even so, I have to stop you from getting your hands from the map."
"A mortal like you will have no place in the upcoming era. All G.o.ds and monster lords will move without care since the Imperium opens up a battlefield for everyone." Aleteya opened her arms widely and added, "There will be another spurt of energy and it will be the last one. This time, the mana density will increase tremendously. It will filter all the living beings in Imperium."
The era of G.o.ds will appear soon.
It will be a war for supremacy.
