Chapter 1041: Heaven Concealed!
While the army of Vita spread out to cause pain and suffering too living beings in the world, the Evil Trio themselves were on a different mission. As for what they were trying to do, shouldn't it be obvious?
You didn't really expect the esteemed and noble them to play around with mere Field zones and Area Zones? With their power as Semi-Eternals? With their stats?
My Brother in Christ, without Rank and level suppression, on casual sneeze from them could reduce the main plane to ash. Only by fighting against Rank 7 and above foes could they feel the thrill of what it meant to be alive.
As such, their first target was naturally the Mages Association, which was the number four strongest NPC organization in the entire main plane and the strongest among the power faction.
Of course, it would be smarter and healthier for them to chase after those lone Rank 7's who had no huge faction and eliminate them one by one, but such a plan was smart, which meant it was anti-Draco.
As such, the Evil Trio appeared right above the headquarters of the Mages Association with arrogant expressions on their faces. They wore their Dragon Divine Sets and looked majestic, like banished immortals come down to the lower plane.
The people of the Mages Association who were already somewhat tense immediately panicked and manned their defenses. Draco, Eva and Shuangtian allowed them to do what they wanted without stopping them.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
Immediately, some fellows rushed out of the back of the place and stood defensively before the entire association while glancing at them with trepidation.
They amounted to over 20 people, all at Rank 7. This was the true cap[ital of a powerful organization labeled as the fourth powerful, with over 20 Rank 7 top members!
Even the arrogance on the Evil Trio's faces lessened slightly when they saw this, a grudging trace of respect emerged. They obviously did not know how many Rank 7's existed within each faction except for a few of the lower ones.
Even though they reached Rank 6 in the previous timeline, they were the weakest type of Rank 6 and did not have qualifications to know about Rank 7 forces and their details.
Seeing this, they were enlightened to what they were facing, but it did not move them much anyway.
The oldest person of the group was an aged lady who had few wrinkles, white hair and a tall stature. She looked like a stern librarian, only that one could see the traces of beauty on her features.
She stepped forth calmly and scanned the Evil trio, but her eyes displayed solemnity. She felt like if it wasn't for the Rank suppression, these three fellows would be able to flatten her with a palm at their current power.
This naturally filled her with fear and trepidation, but she did not show it. Rather, she smiled calmly and greeted them normally .
"Greetings, friends from afar. How can we help you?"
Draco, Eva and Shuangtian shared looks of amusement. Friends from afar? Was she smoking grass? Did they look like they were here for tea and to chat?
"Cut the crap, there is no need to try and negotiate. There is no way on this plane that we will reconcile with any faction that was present that day, regardless of whether you attacked or not. The only thing you can negotiated is how badly we'll fuck your ass." Eva stated coldly.
Many faces changed and everyone felt uncomfortable. Seeing such a beautiful young woman whose features surpassed even the greatest Goddess use such crass words made them feel like there was soda in their beer.
The Rank 7 fellows were even more troubled. Their faces changed as they were filled with fear and no one jumped out.
Over the past few months, many powers had speculated on what Draco's weird ability to destroy someone's past was, and whether it was a one time thing.
However the issue was that regardless of whether it was one time or if this entire war ran on a bluff, who the fuck was willing to check the veracity?
If it was a bluff, then cool we're all Gucci and Draco gets beaten to death. If its not a bluff, then why should I be the one to die for the rest of you? Are we friends?
So this was the situation. Normally, they would descend on one of their own and threaten his family or something to force him to be the scapegoat.
However, at Rank 7, each and everyone was unkillable to the other, so you kill my family, I kill yours. Only one like Draco could kill them, hence the fear.
It was pointless to threaten a Rank 6 bloke because Draco would never use his trump card on such a person even if all his bones were broken.
The Mages Association Rank 7's felt like they had swallowed shit. Why did Draco have to come here and use them as a testing ground?
There were many other weaker factions he could have targeted and beaten up to display his might and intimidate all forces, but he came for the biggest one?
... Damn, that's some big dick energy!
The face of the woman in the lead fell, but she managed to smile once more. "Alright then... how do we solve this issue?"
Draco smiled. "Simply take one attack from my beloved women each and we will not pursue those who live it out."
The Rank 7 fellows looked at each other in shock. Draco himself would not make a move?
Great!
Haha, that was great, they could live!
As for his women, they tried to hide it but the thick disdain in their eyes was palpable. They saw the unparalleled beauty of Eva and the supreme sexy body of Shuangtian and felt like they were just Draco's trophy wives he took out to show his prowess.
It was good enough that they were allowed to speak but to attack them? Haha, did they think Rank 7 was a joke?
While their talent was unmatched and the feeling of danger they gave was real, that was without Rank Suppression. If they took out a way to bypass it, then the fellows would be scared, but nothing like that existed in Boundless as far as they knew.
In fact, they thought one step further. It seemed like Draco came here first and chose this method because he knew his limits and didn't want to fall out with the number 4 faction, which made so much sense.
In doing this, he would only maybe kill a few of their weaker members and vent his anger while showing his 'might' and also allow his women to have fun and feel good.
Hehe, tonight he would probably play the two of them well while their egos were high from the achievement. Also since none of them - the Rank 7s - would even be harmed, this was the best way forward!
As for those below if they died who cared? They could just recruit new members. Only when there is life is there opportunity, these Rank 7 fellows understood this well after living so long and seeing so much genocide from the demon invasion.
Looking at Draco, many of the Rank 7 fellows could help but fell a bit of respect and praise. Killing three birds with one stone and securing all benefits, this fellow would truly rise in the future!
After they survived this event, they could spend time mending their relationship and invest in him before he grew too fast. If possible, they could even find ways to enslave and control him for their own use!
Draco, Eva and Shuangtian read their minds and couldn't help but feel speechless, Draco's eyes lit up with cruelty as he knew they would pay for these thoughts, while Eva;s aura became erratic as her fury grew.
How dare mere ants have such thoughts about the Supreme Goddess?!
As for Shuangtian, her eyes narrowed and her anger grew.
How dare mere commoners have such thoughts about the Supreme Empress?
As for Draco, he was excited. Good fellows, keep on thinking such foolish and death-courting things, see how my two beauties wont crush you to death later!
"Hmm, what does Lord Draco propose then?" The woman at the lead asked with a smile.
Her tense shoulders had relaxed because she too had the same thoughts as the others, so her sense of urgency disappeared and her fear dissipated.
She was even thinking about the after math and how to compensate the families of those who would die and make it seem like the Mages Association suffered a severe blow.
They would then withdraw from this war and close up, using that time to watch the rest of the carnage unfold.
Eva and Shuangtian stepped forth and then shared a look. The two communicated mentally and decided that Shuangtian would go first. Before Shuangtian attacked, Draco rushed forward and whispered in her ear.
Shaungtian's face became red, but she couldn't muster the will to reject her beloved Draco's request. Eva by the side had her heart skip a beat and she saw Draco's excited expression.
She knew her and Shaungtian's reputations were going to go down the drain today. As such, vicious expression appeared on her face. If all of the fellows down there were killed, who would be alive to spread out what happens?!
Shaungtian's eyes too glinted with malice as she thought the same thing, and the attack she was going to use before was now changed to something even crueler.
Shuangtian's body exploded with a strange power that radiated divinity, causing the faces of the happy Rank 7's to change to fear, horror and despair. Before they could even beg or flee, Shuangtian pointed down and shouted what Draco told her to.
"Six Paths Sage Art: Heaven Concealed!"
BANG!
The sky broke into literal pieces as cracks formed. The former blue sky was torn open by a huge hole to reveal a giant greenish-blue planet with swirling clouds, large seas and long landmasses.
「Active 1 - Weight of the World: There is no longer a need to lament that the world doesn't have a handle and that the sky is too small. The weight of the world crushes all beneath its might, and the spinning of its axis strengthens the gravity well. All enemies with a zone of your designation will either go through the effect of being smashed to death by a planet sized-mass or being dragged towards you through your gravitational pull. Duration: Variable. Cooldown: Variable.」
Of the two effects, Shuangtian obviously chose the crushing one. As such, the planet in the void released a projection of itself that rushed down from the heavens at a speed that seemed slow, but was actually fast.
In fact, the air even form a barrier around it and began to heat up due to the sheer speed at which it was entering the atmosphere. Draco and Eva looked on with awe and quickly entered a separate void so they wouldn't affected, while Shuangtian confidently stood above with the falling planet behind her back.
To those on the ground, it looked like an empress waving her hand to smash away the complaints of the mortals, ending an uprising that could threaten her throne.
They couldn't even muster the will to scream beg or defend. The aura of the planet was already crushing them, and it did not just crush the body but the mind and the soul.
They were dead even before its arrival.
The Rank 7's in the air had bloodshot eyes as they mustered their power to resist, but could not move in the slightest to dodge or flee. They could only self-detonate all their power to form a barrage to try and shatter the oncoming projection and save their lives.
BOOOM!
Their bodies withered but their eyes remained red and full of hope.
Did their attack work?
