Chapter 56: Alliance of Gods!

A sudden accident.
Looking across the entire Material Plane, the navy of Modo is the most powerful!
Especially after Modo City acquired floating airships, the advantage in naval battles became even more apparent. Currently, there are almost no fleets from any power that can match Modo City. Soren’s navy has tightly held the South Sea, West Sea, and North Sea in their grasp.
However, the news received today is indeed hard to believe!
A fleet under Soren, consisting of three warships armed with thirty-two cannons, two frigates, and two medium ships that make up the Eleventh Fleet, was completely annihilated during a routine patrol. Such an armed force could easily attack a coastal city’s harbor, and making them vanish without a trace is almost impossible unless a being beyond mere mortals was involved.
“Is there not a single survivor?”
Soren’s face turned pale as he said, “Have you searched the nearby seas and land?”
The stealth assassin bowed cautiously and said, “We searched already. Not a single survivor.”
Could it be the Lord of Storms?
Soren pondered and said gravely, “Could it be the Amazons? Have they shown any unusual movements recently?”
The stealth assassin thought for a moment and whispered, “It shouldn’t be them. The Amazon region has also been quite unsettled recently. It is said that ferocious wind elements appeared in the central region of the Amazon Rainforest. Additionally, a fleet from the Amazons also encountered sudden trouble in the nearby seas. Similarly, there were no survivors.”
What?
The Amazons had troubles too?
Soren’s expression changed to one of confusion, and then he seemed to remember something, murmuring, “Could it be that thing has come out?”
“Really?”
“It’s been at least a year ahead of schedule!”
Thinking this, he looked at the stealth assassin and said coolly, “Alright. I understand. Go inform the High Priest to come here.”
The stealth assassin bowed and withdrew.
Soren immediately teleported to Gloria’s laboratory. The Fallen Witch had returned, her expression showing no change, but her gaze toward Soren flickered slightly.
“What’s wrong?” Gloria, being so astute, immediately noticed that Soren was preoccupied.
Soren gently stroked her cheek, then kissed her forehead and said slowly, “There’s been a bit of trouble.”
He then recounted the entire situation.
“Do you want to see it in person?”
Gloria’s expression turned serious as she said, “A fleet cannot be quietly wiped out; even I would find it difficult.”
“If you go, be careful.”
“Modo City will have no issues as long as I’m here.”
As the mistress of Modo City, Gloria was undoubtedly very capable. At least when Soren was not in Modo City, she always managed everything in an orderly manner.
“Mm.” Soren nodded.
At this moment, the figure of the High Priest appeared, and she slightly bowed to Soren, saying, “My lord. What do you need from me?”
Looking at the High Priest before him, Soren said slowly, “Yes.”
“I have a message that needs to be delivered to the Ocean Temple. It’s best if you personally deliver it to the High Priest of the Ocean Temple.”
………………
After arranging the subsequent matters, Soren set off to the seas of the Amazon Rainforest. Although the Amazon Female Warriors were not far from Modo City, fortunately, the relationship between the two sides was relatively stable, as no battles had broken out until now.
Of course, this was significantly related to the indigenous people acting as intermediaries.
The Amazon jungle is a long continental block, with the Amazon Female Warriors divided into several tribes and the presence of centaurs as a race. Due to the chaotic nature of the Lord of Storms, the Amazon Rainforest has no unified government and has always operated under a decentralized tribal system, which reduced Soren’s pressure significantly.
The sea area where the incident occurred was over two hundred kilometers east of Modo City, in a zone adjacent to the Amazon Rainforest.
A fleet was completely annihilated here, with not a single sound heard, and thousands of warriors from Modo City were all killed. Apart from some drifting wood, no bodies have been discovered so far.
This situation is truly too bizarre.
“Eh?”
As soon as Soren arrived in this sea area, he noticed a very obvious problem.
The marine life here is scarce.
Or rather, as a resource-rich overseas region, there were surprisingly few schools of fish, and no other large fish were spotted. The entire sea surface was almost dead silent, with hardly any trace of living beings.
Soren’s heart sank.
He seemed to think of something not very good, something even gods would find troublesome!
Soren’s form gradually descended to the sea surface. He waved his hand to part the waters and then entered the dark depths of the ocean. The water mixed with a scent that was repulsive, a scent that mere mortals could not perceive, but for deities, it was very clear, as if there were a kind of innate repulsion.
Soren’s expression grew increasingly grave.
As he gradually entered the deep sea, he could sense more and more, and following that scent, Soren quickly made a discovery in the depths of the ocean.
It was an enormous footprint.
The diameter of this footprint was nearly fifteen meters, looking nothing like a human footprint, but more akin to the traces left by a dinosaur. Upon seeing this gigantic footprint, Soren’s expression finally changed, involuntarily gasping in cold air, murmuring, “I can’t believe it really got out!”
——Divine Bastard!
A name that even the gods would find troublesome to hear.
The birth of a Divine Bastard is a mistake, a product of divine power that should not exist and was unforeseen. As a still-living soul, a Divine Bastard continues to exist, drawing strength from their near-divine powers and their pure hatred for their ancestors and all of nature’s creations. Divine Bastards encompass an immeasurable variety, each one a horror unimaginable to mortals, cursed by heaven and hell. Divine Bastards have been sealed away for countless eras. However, as time passes, sometimes they are inadvertently released or break free from their cages. The appearance of a Divine Bastard can incite great panic in a country, a world, or even across an entire plane. Fortunately, most Divine Bastards are firmly sealed away by stronger divine beings.
Divine Bastards possess the power of divinity because they are immortal unless destroyed!
Divine Bastards have an evil fondness for disasters; they aim to annihilate everything, projecting their own suffering on a grander scale onto the multiverse. Life, death, and extinction are the goals of most Divine Bastards. Although they do not need food, they attain satisfaction from devouring—especially living beings.
Soren finally understood why a fleet would suddenly be completely destroyed, and there are no survivors at all.
If a Divine Bastard truly has emerged, then in such circumstances, having any survivors would be very strange! The greed and desire for destruction of a Divine Bastard can never be satisfied; they are tormented by their pain and can only achieve fleeting satisfaction when devouring living beings.
A Divine Bastard has appeared.
This is a more terrifying disaster than a demon assaulting the Material Plane!
At least demons can be killed and exorcised, but if a Divine Bastard grows stronger, even a coalition of gods might not be able to handle it!
Because Divine Bastards are hard to kill.
And if only sealed, one day that Divine Bastard will escape again, as they are immortal.
“Dinosaurs?”
Soren silently gazed at the footprint before him, then activated his divine powers.
——“[Tracking] Divine Profession!”
——“[Death] Divine Profession!”
With the surge of divine power, a special force emerged across the sea, and then an image appeared before Soren’s eyes: it was an immense sea monster resembling a dinosaur, though more accurately, it resembled a Godzilla.
Soren’s face instantly turned extremely grim.
Because he recognized this Divine Bastard, and one could even say it was the greatest hidden danger and threat to the Material Plane!
——The offspring of the Father of Dinosaurs!
One of the former strong divine powers of the Nature Deity, the “Dinosaur God” – Utao, an ancient god born during the era of dinosaurs, has disappeared with time, possibly having fallen or fallen into a deep sleep.
But it still left behind a bit of itself.
That is its offspring, an accidental and erroneous product, a Divine Bastard born from powerful divine power!
Sealed deep in the most desolate land west of the Overseas Islands, that barren land still harbors many mutated dinosaurs, a fearsome and terrifying creature controlled by a desire for destruction, capable of devouring the entire Material Plane if not sealed and eliminated!
“Who exactly released it!?”
“Damn!!!”
Soren’s expression was terrible because this terrifying Divine Bastard, if it grows strong, would not only destroy this sea area but even Modo City, the Amazon Rainforest, and the entire overseas region.
A Divine Bastard left behind by a powerful divine being!
This is no longer just a trouble, but a terrifying disaster!
Soren’s figure instantly returned to Modo City, quickly followed by a convergence of light on the Grand Temple. Soren’s form transformed into a tall golden figure.
——“Divine Form!”
A massive surge of divine power gathered, and Soren’s form became a golden giant over a hundred meters tall, then he raised a hand toward Taro Port, sending a beam of gold light across the sky.
Next was the direction of the City of Wealth, another golden pillar containing divine information flew through.
Then toward the Amazon Rainforest, Soren hesitated slightly before conveying information to the evil and terrifying Lord of Storms!
As if still a bit worried.
After thinking for a while, Soren pointed his finger toward the location of the City of Radiance.
——“[Alliance of Gods]!”
This was the first time Soren, in divine form, summoned an alliance among the other gods, and according to the ancient agreements within the Pantheon, this kind of summoning can only be activated in the event of significant disasters occurring in the multiverse or the emergence of beings that threaten the gods.
