Chapter 322 - 323: Giant Dragon Race

Chapter 322: Chapter 323: Giant Dragon Race

"It really is different," Andre said, nodding after he finished examining the star chart of the World Group he was currently in.

The World Group he was in was loosely distributed. To put it bluntly, there was a world here and a world there, none of them adjacent to one another.

The only reason these non-adjacent worlds were considered a single World Group was because they were isolated; for a vast distance around their region, no other worlds existed. That was why this entire area was designated as a unified World Group.

But the third image depicted a galaxy, and the World Group within it was composed of worlds that were very closely connected.

After confirming this, Andre continued to look further down.

This image depicted the moment the Divine Warships split their forces, with one fleet dividing into three to head toward their target destinations.

Andre looked at the next image, and as he did, he finally understood what this painted scroll was.

It was a Pantheon Expedition Atlas, a special type of Divine Power Tool used by the All Gods to record their glorious history.

Its purpose was to document their greatness and their Power, the better to attract more Believers.

Andre continued to examine the scroll, now arriving at the fifth image.

The fifth image depicted a scene of over a hundred Divine Warships launching an attack against a massive world.

And as the All Gods launched their attack, numerous enormous and majestic-looking beings emerged from within the world, rising to meet their warships in battle.

"The Dragon Race... The Pantheon World Group’s target for this expedition was the Giant Dragon Race? Are they insane!?"

Andre’s eyes widened as he stared at the figures battling the Divine Warships. He was all too familiar with their appearance; he had a similar being, a Seven Rings, at his side.

’The Giant Dragon Race may not be a top-tier power in the Endless Star Realm, but they’re definitely a first-class one, right below the absolute top.’

’They have more than twenty Dragon Gods, who are equivalent to Truth Great Wizards. On top of that, there are three Dragon Gods at the level of a Level 8 Truth Extreme Great Wizard.’

’The Colorful Dragon God, the Space-Time Dragon God, and the Soul Dragon God.’

’The Pantheon World Group had to be insane to attack the Giant Dragon Race.’

Andre stared, dumbfounded, at the fifth image. He couldn’t for the life of him understand why the Divine Spirits of the Pantheon World Group would pick a fight with the Giant Dragon Race for no apparent reason.

After all, the Giant Dragon Race was known throughout the Endless Star Realm as an extremely tough nut to crack.

It was precisely because of the Giant Dragon Race’s strength that many factions had formed pacts with them.

Some of these were partnership agreements, while others were Master-Servant Contracts.

But regardless, it was an indisputable fact that the Giant Dragon Race was on good terms with numerous other powers.

Furthermore, because the Giant Dragons had a tendency to spread their seed far and wide, Mixed-blood Dragon Beasts had appeared in many parts of the Endless Star Realm.

On the surface, the Giant Dragon Race paid no mind to these Mixed-blood Dragon Beasts.

However, if the Giant Dragon Race ever faced true peril, they could certainly summon these Mixed-blood Dragon Beasts, purify their Bloodlines, and transform them into Pure-blooded Giant Dragons.

With this Bloodline purification, the very essence of these Mixed-blood Dragon Beasts’ lives would undergo a metamorphosis.

After such a transformation, they would be indistinguishable from the Pure-blooded Giant Dragons born within the race. This meant the Giant Dragon Race’s true strength was far greater than it appeared.

Under these circumstances, even if the Pantheon World Group wanted to devour the Giant Dragon Race, they themselves would be, if not completely annihilated, then at least half-shattered in the process.

Moreover, there were many other races in the Endless Star Realm on par with the Giant Dragons.

These races would not simply stand by and watch the Pantheon World Group devour the Giant Dragon Race. They would undoubtedly come to their aid.

In that scenario, even as one of the four top-tier powers, the Pantheon World Group would suffer a devastating blow if besieged by so many first-class powers.

If, at that moment, forces from Hell and the Abyss decided to stir up trouble, the Pantheon World Group, for all its status as a top-tier power, could very well disintegrate and vanish completely.

And though other beings might continue to walk the path of Divine Spirits, a second Pantheon World Group would never again arise in the Endless Star Realm.

This was precisely why Andre was so shocked by the All Gods’ attack on a world ruled by the Giant Dragons.

The actions of this single fleet were tantamount to dragging the entire Pantheon World Group into a war against numerous other powers.

’Unless... have these guys mastered some new superweapon? Do they truly believe they have what it takes to annihilate the Giant Dragon Race?’

’Is that the only reason they would dare to declare war?!’

Andre turned his attention to the sixth image. It depicted the arrival of reinforcements for the Giant Dragon Race, with other races joining the fray.

First came the Dwarves, clad in heavy armor and wielding hammers, followed by Goblins piloting menacing war machines.

After the Goblins arrived, the Elves appeared, and finally, the Phoenixes.

And after the Phoenixes, a great many other races began to arrive.

The Tree-man Race and the Sea Race, for example, as well as some unique forms of Elemental Life—they all threw themselves into the war, and a furious battle raged against the All Gods.

’Well then... an unprecedented free-for-all. Just what kind of superweapon gave the All Gods the nerve to challenge so many races with only their own strength?’

The longer Andre stared at the sixth image, the more alarmed he became.

He simply could not comprehend the Pantheon World Group’s strategy.

Yes, the Pantheon World Group was one of the four top-tier powers in the Endless Star Realm.

But the combined might of all these first-class powers was more than enough to rival them.

"What is this...?" Andre continued to scan the scroll, his eyes falling on the seventh image.

In this picture, the figures of Demons and Devils had appeared. They were helping the Giant Dragon Race and their allies fight against the All Gods.

’Hiss... they’ve managed to outrage everyone!’

Andre drew a sharp breath as he stared at the seventh image.

It was common knowledge that Demons and Devils were universally despised beings, no matter the world.

Yet in the image, the Elves, Dwarves, and Goblins—races that had always detested Demons and Devils—were fighting alongside them against the All Gods. This was a clear sign that the All Gods had done something to violate the fundamental principles of every race involved.

’Could it be... that the Divine Spirits of the Pantheon World Group wanted to forcibly convert the Giant Dragon Race into their Believers?’

Staring at the seventh image, Andre continued to ponder just what the All Gods could have done to make so many different races unite against them.
