Chapter 594 - 593 – Ice Mountain – Part 5.
<<There was way too many things going on all at once.>>
<<However, I have now solid information that somebody had deliberately spread around the information about the divinities?>>
<<But for what purpose?>>
<<The only way I can see it just pure chaos.>>
<<This world is already filled to the brim with it and if you throw a knowledge about elder gods' divinities into the mix, even bigger chaos will occur.>>
<<…This must be their aim.>>
<<Chaos.>>
<<A some kind of opportunity will arise thanks to it.>>
<<…Still… One thing I don't get is the dragons.>>
<<They are cowards and useless bunch.>>
<<Only the traitors or the one allied with organization are somewhat smart and strong.>>
<<But the rest? Pathetic bunch of cowards.>>
<<So why would somebody gave THEM the information?>>
<<I mean, for crying out loud.>>
<<I could tell that these dragons were on basic standards strong.>>
<<That is how they eliminated they eliminated the spirit faction forces.>>
<<However, it was also probably thanks to their natural advantage here.>>
<<A weather that can freeze somebody and they could even unleash those avalanches.>>
<<I guess also these trio of dragons were somebody from the top of the ice dragon clan, since they were dispatched here to guard the divinity stored in here.>>
<<But again, dragons are WEAK!>>
<<So why give the information to the ice dragon clan?>>
<<…Or maybe, the one who spread around the information had contacted EVERY SINGLE FACTION?>>
<<Does that mean they also contacted the top guilds?>>
<<…>>
<<Honestly, I don't want players to obtain divinities no matter what.>>
<<However, the main problem right now is the four main faction.>>
<<If THEY were to obtain the divinities, then things will truly become troublesome.>>
<<…>>
(No wait… Actually, it would only make things worse for themselves?) – thought Phantasia as his servants were setting up base on top of the mountain, putting up a magic tools that increased resistance against cold weather, while the ships that were repaired had managed to arrive at the top.
(The hell, heaven and organization isn't such united factions.)
(The organization is made out of several different factions that are forced to work together, however they mission is accomplished, the organization will be dismantled and it will be free for all.)
(The same logic applies to heaven and hell.)
(The gods from those realms aim to dominate each other as well.)
(If one of these gods were to obtain the divinity of the elder god, then it wouldn't be surprising if their own faction turned on them.)
"…"
"Self-destruction, huh?"
(But what about spirits though?)
(From what I know, there is truly no truly no inner conflict within that faction.)
"…"
(The one who spread around the information could had been the spirit faction.)
(The reason why they did that was to have each of the four other major faction just tore themselves apart out of greed.)
(That would also mean that they are fully aware of the secret that the organization will be dismantled.)
(…Still, from what I know the spirits don't have truly gods.)
(They have spirit emperors who acts as replacement.)
(However, they are not divine beings… And that is a problem.)
(If those spirits emperor gain the divinities, then they would be both the spirits emperors AND gods at the same time.)
"…"
"No. It's not them."
(Spirit faction has a doom clock over their heads.)
(Unlike hell and heaven, the spirit realm is dying and is straight up crumbling apart.)
(Simple put, the spirits have limited amount of time before their original realms dies.)
(And so, before it dies, they need to make a new home.
(And they cannot properly exist in this world.)
(That is why they are planning to destroy and reborn this world into the new spirit realm.)
(They are using the world trees for this, a massive parasites that has ability to change the environment around into the pseudo spirit realm.)
(Still, there is another problem that the spirits face.)
(Existence.)
(Spirits can only exists if they have an anchor, A.K.A spirit summoner, or in the special environment.)
(And the higher ranking spirits NEEDS way stronger anchors or special environment.)
(Meaning that if this world doesn't transform in time, the strongest spirits who couldn't exists in this world would end up dying alongside the spirit realm.)
"Master. The camp has been set up." – said the homunculus soldier.
"I see." – replied Phantasia.
"Then contact the base and request for the extra supplies, including also against the cold resisting equipment. We will be staying here for some time."
"Understood." – said the homunculus soldier before walking away.
"…"
(Spirit faction would want to have the elder gods' divinities no matter what.)
(But they wouldn't want clashing with other factions while doing so.)
(If anything, the current situation must be beyond problematic for them.)
(However, they have no choice but to join the fight and even fight other major factions.)
(But it ain't just them. EVERY faction will have to make way risker move in order to keep their enemies in check and make sure they couldn't obtain the divinity.)
(This would result in even more destruction and chaos which would only speed up further as the time goes.)
"…"
"Wait…"
"Speed up?"
"…"
"Ha…Hahahahah."
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" – Phantasia was laughing on top of his lungs, catching attention of every single one of his daughters.
And in the next moment, Phantasia swung around his fist, smashing massive bolder of ice, shattering it completely with a single strike.
"Those bitches."
(So that is your goal!?)
(Speed up the destruction of the war!)
(ALL OF THE FACTIONS WILL FIGHT WAY MORE SAVAGE!)
(They will sustain way more wounds, closing up their destruction further and further!)
(And then finally, one by one they will end up getting destroyed, until one single faction remains… Or more exactly, a faction that would be weak enough to destroy.)
"…"
"No."
(They want organization to win, don't they? Because they know secret about dismantle.)
(If that is the case, then I know for obvious who the enemy maybe.)
(They are player.)
(Who would survive after all four major factions are destroyed?)
(It is obvious, players will.)
(It is just that simple.)
(But who?)
(Apple. Powin. Arthur nor Diamond.)
(I can say with full confidence it ain't any of them.)
"…"
"That means the enemy probably also knew the existence of the divinities beforehand."
"Just like Apple."
"But instead of gathering the divinities themselves, they are using them as poison."
(It would explain why all of the factions are moving so quickly from the get go.)
(I thought Apple would be possible most annoying opponent we have to deal with.)
(But I guess I was wrong.)
(There is another bastard who just shown up and revealed his poison.)
(As for their endgame plan?)
(I don't know.)
(Maybe they do plan to dominate this world?)
(Or maybe something else?)
(Either way, it sucks for me and everybody else, there is no denying it, no matter what their plan truly is.)
(But it especially sucks for me.)
(That bastard poison is already everywhere and there is no way to cure it.)
(Which means that once these two girls gets their divinities, we will have to start the preparation phase instantly.)
(But first thing first.)
"Hey. How is the radar doing? Any detection just yet?" – asked Phantasia.
"No, nothing yet master." – said the homunculus soldier who was in charge of the radar device.
"So far there wasn't any strong mana signals."
"Keep watch." – said Phantasia.
"The ice dragons will without a doubt come here."
"And they will without doubt send somebody strong here."
"Count on it."
"Understood. I will keep the watch." – said the homunculus soldier.
"Hm?"
"!"
"Master!" – shouted the homunculuses as before Phantasia could even walk away.
"There! In the sky!" – shouted the homunculus as she pointed at something in the distance.
"…So, they are already here?" – said Phantasia as he noticed a large number of black clouds forming.
"PREPARE THE DEFENCES! THEY ARE COMING!" – shouted Phantasia, ordering his homunculuses to get ready to combat, who started summoning once again the undeads.
"PERMISION TO USE SCROLLS ONCE AGAIN HAS BEEN GRANTED!" – shouted Phantasia as he once again resummoned his own army while the dark clouds were approaching.
"!"
"Strong mana signal detected!" – shouted the homunculus in charge of the radar thunder were getting closer to the ice mountain.
"Scrolls deployed!" – shouted the homunculuses soldier as once again [Defy The Nature] scrolls were used on the entire army.
"IT'S HERE!" – shouted the homunculus as the dark cloud arrived near the peak of the Ice Mountain.
And the moment it did, a storm of snow suddenly attacked the peak of the mountain.
"!?"
(What is this stuff!? Ash?!) – thought Phantasia as something wasn't right with the snow storm instantly.
"!"
(No! It is snow! But why it is grey!?) – thought Phantasia before right in the next moment the black clouds were dispersed, revealing a massive dragon.
A beautiful dragon.
A dragon who scales appeared something like flowers covering their entire body.
However, the beautiful appearance didn't really caught Phantasia attention… No. Other aspect of their appearance caught her attention.
Colors.
(Another double color mix.) – thought Phantasia.
(And this one is definitely high ranking one.)
"So, I'm going to ask this straight from the get go." – said Phantasia.
"Are you the dragon queen of the ice clan?"
