“Have you heard?”
“What have you heard?”
“Recently, many gods have disappeared from the region. Some people say that there is something in that region specializing in hunting gods.”
That was a specific area of the divine realm. A few massive creatures were conversing in the divine kingdom’s void. A protective barrier enveloped a few stars. Within the stars, one could vaguely see some strange-looking creatures living within it.
“I heard that there is a small world where the mortals give birth to starlight-tier elites. They deliberately opened a hole in the small world, luring the gods in there to kill them. Many gods have developed a fear of the small world and dare not go there. Some gods even retreated from that small world.”
The god speaking was a giant whose body was as big as a star. His entire body was covered with many giants with closed eyes.
That giant belonged to the thousand-eyed giant, one of the top races in the divine realm.
A few other giant gods stood nearby. After hearing the thousand-eyed giant’s words, some of them looked worried, and some did not care.
“It doesn’t matter. I heard that the small world is extraordinary. Not only is there a hole on the outside, but its inside is also at starlight-tier. It’s enough for the gods to enter! We will be fine as long as we are careful not to enter such a small world. Currently, the small world we are guarding does not have a hole in it, and the people living inside are not very strong. It is definitely not that one.”
The stars covered in a light barrier surrounded the giants’ bodies. As they spoke, those stars flickered with light, making them look extremely beautiful. There were quite a number of those stars in the divine kingdom. Basically, each shining star was surrounded by a few huge gods. It was those dazzling stars and gods that formed the divine kingdom.
Tens of thousands of years ago, the War of the Gods shattered the world. The largest world fragment carried gods and existences above the level of gods into the divine realm. A world barrier was built outside to protect those who did not reach the same tier.
Since then, two regions had appeared in the world. One was the outer world, and the other was the inner world. The gods were too powerful to enter the inner world, and those in the inner world had difficulty ascending to the divine realm.
The inner worlds that resided on the fragments were called small worlds.
Small worlds were a source of power for the gods, allowing them to absorb faith and gain power. Other gods enjoyed influencing the beings of small worlds. Of course, there were more worlds in the divine realm than small worlds. Those worlds were a part of the divine realm. They were frequently occupied by organized and disciplined gods with vast resources.
The divine world divided territories in a different way than mortals did. They did not employ words like north, south, east, or west. Instead, they used star regions such as Centaurus, Andromeda, and others to separate areas. The Archangel Star region and the Waterdrop Galaxy were where such giants were located.
“The world we are guarding has only two kingdoms. One kingdom’s people believe in the giants, while the other kingdom’s people have built high walls, treating the giants as monsters! Even though controlling their beliefs is very convenient, the number of kingdoms is too small, and the population is poor. We can’t even increase the number of believers. Why don’t we just induce them to split into more kingdoms and let them balance each other out?”
A giant fiddled with a shining star in front of him and muttered softly.
He could not enter the small world as a god until the barrier was removed. He could, however, understand the situation through the prayers of the earth’s mortals and transmit a portion of his strength into the globe through prayers.
“It takes too long to split kingdoms and recover. Why don’t we look for a few more small worlds? Didn’t many gods quit protecting the small worlds due to that dreadful rumor? That provides us with a window of opportunity,” another god said.
The eyes of the gods present twitched as soon as he finished speaking. A few meteor-like rays of light passed over from a distance just as they were contemplating.
“Wait a minute, that is a small world. Furthermore, several small worlds are intertwined. In that case, can those small worlds fly on their own?”
“Is their speed a little too fast? It feels like it’s about the same speed as us flying at full speed! Why do those small worlds look so strange? Could it be that one of those small worlds has a world that can hunt gods?”
The giants discussed as they quickly retreated, vigilantly watching the few small worlds that were rapidly approaching them.
After the few small worlds approached them, they finally realized that it was not a few small worlds that were entangled. However, outside the world barrier were a few metallic spheres that were similar in size to stars. The metallic spheres revolved around the world continuously, as if they were the small worlds’ satellites.
The small world seemed to have discovered a few giant gods at that moment. One of the four satellites that revolved outside suddenly burst with light, and soon after, a small black hole opened on the barrier outside the small world. People wearing black armor flew out of the small hole.
“What the hell is that? Are those ants native to the small world? What are they trying to do?”
The few giants stared blankly at the small world, at the black dots. Their bodies rapidly enlarged in the nothingness of the divine world, and they became giants capable of standing up to the heavens and the earth. A youth wearing a starry robe and wearing a crown walked out in front of those black-armored monsters. The young man had a small smile on his face and beautiful eyes. At the same time, he instilled a sense of kindness, friendliness, and reverence in individuals.
“Hello, gods. I am the King of the Kingdom of Kings. My name is Watson, and I am currently recruiting gods who can help me build a kingdom. I feel that you are suitable. Do you have any thoughts about joining my kingdom and becoming a member of the Kingdom of Kings?”
“A mere mortal dares to make us your subordinates? I think you are crazy.”
A thousand-eyed giant snorted coldly and opened his tightly shut eyes. His pure white pupils shot out scorching rays of light. The thousand-eyed giant’s eyes were a treasure. They contained a large amount of compressed light elements, and the power they released was not inferior to the light element’s magic power source.
Tens of thousands of rays of light swept across the pitch-black void and flew in the direction of the young king, who only smiled and snapped his fingers. The four satellites surrounding the small world behind him immediately emitted light rays. A ray of light landed on the young king’s body, forming a protective light barrier.
The radiant rays of light swept across the light barrier. Even the outer shell of the light barrier did not shatter. On the contrary, the light barrier absorbed many light rays, causing it to become even brighter. When the light barrier appeared on the satellites, they turned their heads. The end of the light barrier was revealed, and a huge pitch-black cannon barrel could be seen on the bottoms of the satellites.
“Anti-matter Cannon Attack!”
A jet-black torrent shot out from the cannon, and wherever it passed, the void of the divine realm would shatter. Endless explosions echoed in the void, and at the end of the explosion path, the giant god who had just attacked the young king, his body had already been devoured by the explosion, and not a single dreg remained. The god’s remains wriggled and flew into the young King’s hands.
“That is already the hundredth god we’ve killed.” The young king pinched the remains and turned around to look at the other giant gods present. “Do you want to join my kingdom and become a part of it, or do you want to continue resisting?”
“We’ll join you!”
The giant gods looked at each other with bitter expressions. They knew that what appeared before them was the small world that had recently caused the panic they had heard about and that youth must be the ruler of that small world.
Regardless of the youth’s strength, the 100,000 black-armored warriors standing behind him were all on the level of gods. With the addition of the terrifying cannonball that could kill gods with one shot, they did not dare to resist.
It seemed like the strength contained in that small world was even more terrifying than the legend itself.
…
Watson stood in the void, playing with the pitch-black remains of the gods in his hands. He used the fusion system to fuse the remains of the gods into his body.
The power of the divine kingdom controlled by the thousand-eyed giant was of the light elements. After the fusion, it did not improve him much, but it was better than nothing.
It had been a month since he had conquered the Dwarven Kingdom. During that month, he had not been idle. He used the enslaved gods to lure nearly a hundred gods into his world. More than half of the hundred gods were enslaved by him; the remaining were either evil gods with evil intentions or had spoken rudely. They were all used by him to make an example out of others.
Part of the god’s remains that had leaked out of the slain gods’ bodies had been rewarded to the enslaved gods, while the remainder had been absorbed by himself. Since he had absorbed a large quantity of them, his strength had risen one level beyond that of a demigod. He was close to achieving the true level of gods.
Apart from enslaving the gods to help him with his work, he had also reorganized the Dwarven Kingdom’s territory into the Kingdom of Kings in the previous month. At the same time, he had also used the dwarven chess piece to create many technological weapons and tools that had greatly improved the lives of the people of the Kingdom of Kings.
At that moment, the four satellites surrounding the small world were one of his created products. In his previous world, four satellites had all the functions of the satellites. They could take photos from high altitudes, transmit signals, and even house people.
Other than that, the four satellites also had some functions that his previous world’s satellites did not have, such as the anti-matter cannon used to destroy the gods.
The energy used by that cannon was antimatter.
The world was made of positive and antimatter. When antimatter and positive matter collide, they would be annihilated. That was a terrifying phenomenon. The energy in Watson’s world, whether the original six elements of earth, fire, water, light, and darkness, or whatever he later created, belonged to a type of matter.
He was able to create the anti-matter cannon thanks to the dwarven chess piece’s absolute technological ability. Anti-matter originally only existed in theory, and it was the power of the dwarven chess piece that made it possible. It could be said that the anti-matter power was more powerful than any of the sources of magic that Watson possessed.
“Don’t just stand there; follow me into my kingdom. I will assign you some work later! Don’t worry. As long as you work hard in my kingdom, you won’t be mistreated. Instead, you’ll be rewarded. When you see my kingdom later, I believe you’ll definitely fall in love with it. “
Retracing his thoughts, Watson gestured at the few giant gods who were standing there stupidly. Under the escort of the Blackmoon Knights, he turned around and walked into the Small World.
Hearing Watson’s words, the giant gods did not seem to mind. They were giants. In ancient times, they were also one of the top races. At that time, humans could only prostrate before them. At that moment, humans had wanted to enslave them. Not only that, Watson even said that they would fall in love with a mere human kingdom. He must have underestimated them.
Humans might be comparable to the giants in terms of strength, but in terms of structure and aesthetics, humans had a short lifespan and had many mistakes in history. How could they compare to the magnificent giants?
A few giants followed Watson into the small world with disdain, and the disgust on their faces froze as soon as they entered.
The place where they landed seemed to be the kingdom of the dwarves. There were dwarves that were shorter than humans everywhere, and there were huge steel birds floating in the sky. They were things they had never seen before.
Those steel birds were dozens of meters long, and each of them had more than a hundred dwarves sitting on them. They were covered by a huge light shield and flew through the sky extremely fast. The speed of the steel birds was close to the speed of light. It was not much slower than their flying speed, but the dwarves inside looked calm, as if they were used to that.
There was a brand new dwarven kingdom beneath those steel birds. Iron tracks extended from the Dwarven Kingdom in all directions. There were many long trains parked on those tracks. The trains were made of iron sheets. A long cargo box filled with platinum or diamond-tier ores was at the back of the train.
“The train to the former Holy Dragon Kingdom’s capital in the Kingdom of Kings is about to start. Dwarves who are ready to go can now begin to check your tickets.”
In front of a specific train, a dwarf in uniform waved the red flag in his hand and signaled the dwarves in line to hand him the paper-like things in their hands. During the check, the dwarf suddenly took out a brick-sized object from his trouser pocket with a glowing screen beside his ear. “Hello, Wife? I’m about to get to work. Don’t call me before I get off work. Otherwise, the supervisors will dock my money.”
“What are those?”
The giant gods were stunned when they saw the steel birds, the trains filled with goods, and the communication device for long-distance communication. They could not feel any strong aura from those items, but they could do things that everyday magic could not even do. They felt as if they had entered an unknown place.
“Welcome to the Kingdom of Kings. Are you surprised by what you see here? It doesn’t matter. You will be even more surprised soon.”
Watson opened his hands and smiled. He said to the giant gods, “You can go to the coastline around the kingdom later. There are a few gods there who are reclaiming the sea and land.”
After assigning tasks to the giants, some of the Blackmoon Knights flew out and led the giants who were still in a daze to the coastline of the Dwarven Kingdom.
Looking down from the skies, there were massive factories spewing white smoke all across the Dwarven Kingdom. The factories’ huge mechanical arms were continuously producing something. If one examined closely, one would notice that it was a bizarre weapon in the shape of a cylinder. Under the cylinder, there was a handle that appeared to be a button. The giant gods were perplexed as to what kind of weapon it was. However, they could tell that the substance utilized to build weapons was, at the absolute least, diamond-tier.
At the same time, they noticed iron carts with four wheels in several factories. They could run rapidly on the ground because there was no horse traction. The Dwarven Kingdom’s floating islands in the skies had become a steel archipelago. The entire archipelago had been transformed into a detachable giant battleship. Small antimatter cannons surrounded the battleship, and the cannons were aimed at the sky, making people’s hair stand on end.
Skyscrapers replaced low-rise dwellings and palaces on the islands. A hundred stories were considered low, and uniformed dwarves strolled in and out of skyscrapers. They ascended on mechanical elevators, appearing neat and full of the wonders of technology.
The giant gods gulped. In their eyes, those scenes were fleeting. In the blink of an eye, they had arrived at the coastline of the Dwarven Kingdom.
The north of the Dwarven Kingdom was connected to the glittering golden sea. At that moment, on the golden coast, a few giant gods were sitting cross-legged on the ground, holding a few square-shaped objects in their hands, staring at the huge screen projected on a smooth cliff. They were crazily clicking on some buttons.
On the massive screen, two warriors clad in stunning outfits were slicing each other. Each of the two warriors’ motions had a lovely sense of savagery that was attractive to the eye.
Not far from the two gods who were pressing the buttons, a few gods held huge wine bottles in their hands. They drank the wine with straws as they waved their hands and shouted.
“Hit him!”
“Yes, don’t let him get up!”
“His HP is low! Quick, use your ultimate skill.”
Following the words that they could not understand, one of the two giants clutching a cube joyfully stood up. His body was engulfed in flames as a result of his overexcitement. The warrior on the left side of the screen slashed the blade in his palm after the cube in his hand absorbed the flames he released. A flame kingdom dropped from the sky, crushing and burning the warrior on the other side.
“I won. Later, you have to pay me with ten bottles of water from the Spring of Life and help me work for a day.”
The victorious god put down the things in his hand, his face full of pride. The god on the opposite side, who had lost, looked sad.
A few gods spotted the Blackmoon Knights and the giant gods behind them and promptly put on pleasant expressions. “We are not slacking. We have finished our duties for the day, so we are here to play games.”
“As long as you complete your daily tasks, you can do as you wish. That is an order from His Majesty Watson,” the Blackmoon Knight expressionlessly replied while pointing at the few giants beside them. “These are the newly joined laborers. Later, you will bring them to familiarize themselves with the environment. Tomorrow, they will begin their official work. “
Then, the Blackmoon Knight left. A few gods surrounding the huge screen immediately went to the giant gods. “There are new people here again. Before familiarizing yourselves with the work, come and try this game called Real Quick.”
“Every time a new player comes in, we set up a bet. Hurry up and place your bets. Who are you betting on?”
Following the shouts, two giant gods were forced to sit on the ground. They picked up the square-shaped controls that the other gods had just operated. After listening to the explanation, they controlled the characters on the screen to start fighting with only a little understanding.
‘What was so fun about fighting virtual characters?’
The two giants thought so at first, but soon they stared at the screen with total concentration. Some of the giants even stood up in excitement after the fight, and the shouts of the other gods beside them also resounded through the sky.
They did not know why the game was so attractive. The pleasure of killing others was much better than fighting alone. After all, they would get hurt in a real battle; they did not have such concerns when playing the game.
After the battle, the gods would fill bottles with water from the Spring of Life for the victors to enjoy. Water from the spring of life had almost dried up after the war between the gods tens of thousands of years ago, but they could drink it as much as they wanted there.
That made the giants, who initially did not have any expectations for that small world and even looked down on it, could not help but wonder, could that be the Kingdom of Heaven?
