Eridel’s all-seeing gaze rolled over the multiple eye-catching events occurring all over the World. The Blood Fiends were about to invade the East Continent where they would eventually stumble upon either the Burning Nines or the Yoloria Empire, the Empire established by Empress Gloria, the High Human Queen- now Empress, who had 9 mixed Kings/Queens under her direct command. Gaia had become a full-fledged goddess of creation and had erected her own religion called the [Divine Syndicate of Genesis], its domain of influence had expanding without any competition and now, its reach had extended out of the Western Forest (which had been renamed as the Forest of Beginnings) and had even seeped into other central locations of power. Now, everybody on the continent knew about Gaia, the so-called Eldest god of Heaven and almighty Dragon goddess of Creation, causing the knowledge of gods to be fully exposed to the Central Continent. Most people didn’t believe it too much considering the fact that there wasn’t much evidence, but when they remembered the golden beam of light that had emerged from the Dragon Mountain but had been seen all over the continent, they couldn’t help but feel extremely wary. Jörma was, as always, becoming increasingly powerful. She had become so large that it had become public knowledge that she was the ‘3rd’ Celestial Beast, and her control over her powers, most specifically her Evil Eye of Petrification, had become abnormally uncanny. Clearly, she was more than just brawn. Her siblings, Drako, Lily and Hiculu, were also more powerful. They were all at the 4th Realm and had unlocked even more of their innate powers. Drako’s fire was extremely feared by many and was something that even some of the most powerful figures on the Continent tried to avoid. Lily’s power of illusions and enthralment had grown and Hiculu, who now had 4 heads, was a fearsome figure whose powerful poison struck fear even in the hearts of the Continent’s 2 Celestial Beasts. Raiko the Golden Tiger, had become a Beast Emperor with 5 King/Queens under his banner. A Tiger Queen, someone who he had been raising to be his wife, only for her to fall in love with someone else; a cunning but loyal Wolf King, a mighty and fierce Bear King, a charming and intelligent Monkey Queen and finally, a battle-hungry yet wise Eagle Queen who loved the hunt. All of them were in the 4th Realm thanks to Raiko’s vast resources and they were quietly thriving in their respective territories. At first, Eridel had felt a little sorry for Raiko’s failed attempt at love even if he had seen it coming, but when he took a peek into his Soulmate Link out of curiosity and found out who it was attached to, he couldn’t help but call the Golden Tiger a lucky bastard. But perhaps the woman was the lucky bastard? After all, Raiko was only 1 of her 2 Soulmates. Moving along, it appeared that interesting things were taking place in the sea. Powerful figures were emerging like it was nothing and the average power of the sea dwellers were only continuing to rise. Alas, this was at the cost of lives upon lives upon lives. At this point, it wasn’t rare to suddenly see a large section of the sea become red with blood as a result of a terrible carnage. However, it wasn’t like they were ALL senselessly killing. Having gained more and more intelligence along with their increasing accomplishments in cultivation, they had learnt how to maximise their gains. Powerful Sea Beasts and Monsters had learnt how to take control of those weaker than them and have them diligently work for them. These creatures became the Kings and Emperors of the Sea. The only reason it took them so much longer than the creatures above the Sea was because of the fact that they were so used to killing and killing and killing that it had become instinctive. There was no pity and there was no mercy, in fact, there wasn’t even anything interesting to do in the Sea other than killing. For them to gain control of their instincts and use their indomitable auras to force others into doing the same, was much more impressive than the Beast and Monster Lords above the Seas. And going by the current course of events, it looked like multiple Emperors were about to enter an all-out war which would give birth to the first Kaiser of the Sea, something much more powerful than a Continental Kaiser. Over in the South Continent, the Demon god of Envy, Honourable Brother, was planning something so heinous that Eridel couldn’t help but ‘frown’ with his non-existent face. But thinking about the crazy thing that he had implemented into his World before he knew of its quite possibly life-ending costs, he felt like those very costs weren’t so ugly anymore. Because with that, he knew that even if the Honourable Brothers plans actually began to come into fruition, he would be able to put it all to an end without having to directly kill him. Still, he would rather that the world, yes world, deal with it themselves. Other than that, because of the demon gods hyper focus on his plans and lack of care for what the rest of the continent were doing. The Devils and Fae of the Forest of Bloody Origin had begun to not only recuperate peacefully, but also claim the entire territory of the now fleeing Blood Fiends. This was another thing that made him ‘frown’, after all, the Devils were really and truly quite evil. If it wasn’t because of the Paragon Devil, who, thanks to the 7th aspect of his inherited Divine Demon Physique [Free from Fate] was free from his innately evil desires, and the 5th aspect of the Divine Demon Physique [Divine Ruler], which made any and all people who considered him their leader adopt his own way of thinking and morals, Eridel really might have had to give the same treatment that he was reserving for the Honourable Brother and other future demon gods.
