That wouldn’t happen without doubt. And that made such a defensive fortress scary. It’d take tons of force to tear it down, and even if it fell into the enemy’s hands, it wouldn’t give any help to my forces at all.

The enemy only needed to take down the top layer and that nightmare would start again. That meant after taking this fortress down, it would be pointless to make any use of that place.

“If it’s going to be like this, it’s better to give that place a makeover then,” I evilly smirked while considering all my big guns that I could use.

I was going against the Hescos, and they looked quite scary this time. If my guess was right, then I’d expect at least one paragon waiting for me out there.

If they were too damn serious about it, then I might be facing all the paragons in that world. If so then this fight wasn’t going to be this simple.

After my fallen gods consumed the energy and stat crystals, I controlled my chariot to fly towards the pillar of light.

“Here I come,” to be honest, I wasn’t that worried about fighting the Hescos out there. Even if they brought out everything they got, I still had my confidence in my power.

What really worried me was here, Earth world. I was going to leave my kingdom behind. And for a reason, I felt quite unease about doing so.

But the moment I stepped into that pillar of light and my vision blinded by the light, I knew I had to entrust everything to my generals and capable assistants.

p anda nOvel.cO,m I did everything in my power to build endless armies and raise their fighting level. I also left tons of warriors behind. If nothing huge happened, I was sure they were able to stand their ground and defend my kingdom in my absence.

However, even knowing that, something was still bothering me. I couldn’t tell what it was, but I was growing restless until I appeared at the other side of the portal.

A new world appeared in front of me. And out there I saw tons of enemies waiting for my arrival.

They seemed to expect something huge, perhaps grand armies and an endless stream of soldiers. But what they saw was just me coming out on top of my chariot.

“Thundering Might!” Even if I was overwhelmed with worry over my kingdom, I didn’t delay and took out my pillar.

Then I used the formidable defensive skill from the start.

A grand ball of light appeared, but weirdly enough it didn’t show its scary power and only covered tens of layers of this grand defence.

“They are prepared for my pillar,” I knew my pillar didn’t malfunction, it was that these Hescos must have done something.

No matter what, my pillar acted normally and the defensive shield appeared covering the sky and part of this fortress.

I knew this was going to be a hard and long battle. The next moment I summoned enough fallen gods to fill up my chariot.

Thousands of my scary fallen gods appeared, and I made my chariot rise up slowly.

From the mere silence that prevailed in this world, I knew they must have recognised me. And from such weird silence, I got how scared and wary they were of me.

“Attack!”

Their daze didn’t last more than a few minutes before a loud and thundering shout came from the highest layers and jolted everyone awake.

And the next instant these Hescos who were frozen in fear started to attack.

During these minutes I wasn’t just enjoying the rare moments of peace before the war drums would explode. I rose up to the highest of my shield, took an overall view over the entire battlefield.

The Hescos did really spend too much over this place. Seeing the complicated and not easily noticed from the grand vision I got from the feed forts made me realise how hard it would be to crush this place.

The layers weren’t just simply formed by flat lands on different altitudes. Each layer had tons of forts that were buried deep underground.

Seeing this made me realise how much work these Hescos must have put to construct such a fort. This shouldn’t be a simple coincidence for me coming out here, they planned it perfectly and knew where I’d appear.

They didn’t just use a simple way of defensive fortresses to stop me. They selected one that wouldn’t expose much of its secrets if I tried to inspect it using my feed.

They even thought about that, which made me feel a little pressure.

Even when I was here, I couldn’t see what was behind the huge doors and walls blocking the entrance to these underground forts.

Each layer was almost half a mile in width, and it got lots of defences constructed on top of it. The typical towers, walls, and even trenches filled up the entire place. And that was just what I could see on the surface.

As for the underground forts, I couldn’t even tell a head or tail of these. Who knew what was in each fort? Were there tons of forces? Traps? Or places filled with lava?

Frankly I didn’t know. I had to first send out my warriors to examine and test these places before deciding anything else.

To see such complicated and dangerous looking defences, I knew the one hour limit I gave to my forces wasn’t going to work.

It seemed I greatly underestimated the resolve of the Hescos. The number one race was indeed worthy of their glorious prestige and fame.

I thought about all this and started to consider my next step. I checked my soulers, fallen gods, and other elite warriors I just created before coming here.

“This isn’t going to be enough…” I didn’t need to test things out to know this. Aside from using these elite warriors, I had to summon other warriors and give them stat crystals to feed upon.
