Chapter 436: Cleaning (I)
It wasn’t just Grand Marshal Anglius who was thrilled with the power of the Divine Ballistic Missiles. Major General Theodoro, King Viserin, and all the other generals who commanded ballistic strikes were beyond amazed by the capabilities of the artifacts. The destructive force of these weapons allowed the Xaos Forces and Turkin Riders to immediately dominate the periphery of Kylen Country, forming a tightening ring around the Leviathan forces inside. Over the next few days, this ring would constrict until there wasn’t a single drone within the country’s borders.
The leaders and generals couldn’t help but shout praises toward the A.I. Chip Clone. They all hoped that more of these weapons would soon be available on the battlefield. Overlord was aware of the generals’ wishes, and one could see by the activity in Xaos City that things were moving in the right direction.

While Xaos City hadn’t expanded its borders, its infrastructure had grown significantly as more buildings and formidable structures rose. Factories sprawled across the mountain on which the city was built, each working on something related to the war effort. There were facilities that built weapons; others specialized in armor, factories for drugs and explosives, and massive assembly plants where components from different factories were assembled, giving birth to the colossal missiles that had proven so effective against the Leviathans.
But it wasn’t just factories that were emerging in Xaos City. There were also vast training grounds where new soldiers were forged every day. While these men were too inexperienced to become part of the spearhead piercing into the Monsoon Continent, it was important they were ready for the final advance. Overlord knew that reaching the heart of the Leviathan Race would require enormous manpower.
As for the rest of the population—the ones performing everyday tasks—they were also contributing to the war effort. Every single day, the people of Xaos City prayed to the Xaos God-King, generating a massive amount of Divine Force.
The A.I. Chip Clone monitored the entire city’s movement, ensuring everything went smoothly, but allocated only half of his computational abilities to that task. The other half was focused inside the Xaos Tower, more specifically, the energy pool that held his core code.
Massive waves of Divine Force were being directed into the energy pool as Overlord manipulated strains of genetic material. The process was extremely complicated, but in essence, Overlord was creating a virus. The target of this virus was clearly the alien race that sought to consume all life on Terra—the Leviathans.
However, the virus wasn’t the only thing inside the energy pool. Nearby, there was a massive golden orb nearly three meters tall. Outstanding amounts of Divine Force were being channeled into the orb, and a throbbing sound could be heard from inside, no different than a heartbeat. The strain of genetic material and the golden orb were Overlord’s two most important projects and the most challenging. Any mistake could lead to cataclysmic failure, throwing away months of work and a staggering amount of Divine Force and resources.
Only the future could reveal how things would develop and just how effective the projects taking place in Xaos City would be.
