Solan City.
Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce.
The atmosphere in the spacious hall was exceptionally oppressive. It was like the dark clouds before a storm.
Windsor looked at the figure that aged and sat in the mechanical wheelchair before her. The old man remained silent for a long time.
She could feel the decay that came from his body. It was like an old tree was about to wither and die, with no chance of revival.
Time... There wasn't much left.
The old man had lived for ten years without a heart in a wheelchair and had once torn an ancient red dragon to pieces–Peim noticed the sadness that hid in Windsor's eyes.
A smile appeared on his face. He forced himself to be alert and spoke slowly in a tone that sounded like a lamp that was out of oil.
"Girl, don't be sad. I can still hold on for a month..."
He released a long sigh as he spoke. A hint of relief flashed across his eyes.
"You've done well this month.
"Your arrangements have exceeded everyone's expectations…"
Windsor took a deep breath, her tone somewhat stubborn.
"Teacher, we still have a chance."
Peim shook his head.
"My body is clearer than yours… It's already too late."
"In the past two months, I'm afraid thousands of grace mainland overlords have accepted missions…"
Windsor was silent.
The old man didn't expect a response from the other party. He looked out of the window with his turbid eyes.
"Crimson Moon… It should have risen by now.
"The last day of December… Let those false gods tremble in fear.
"I hope to see this scene before I leave this world."
Determination engulfed Windsor's eyes.
"This day should have come long ago. The Crimson Moon will illuminate this decaying world!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something and slowly said.
"Teacher, I've already passed the message to Lord Richard."
Peim's eyes revealed a subtle emotion when he heard this name.
"Imprison a god…This bold little fellow is surprising."
The corners of his mouth curled into a smile.
"Bring him to see me when he comes."
"Grace mainland overlord seemed to look for Crimson Moon? I hope Crimson Moon won't frighten him after he has learned about it."
Windsor thought of that outstanding and unforgettable figure and did not speak.
Could he bring about the desired effect?
She wasn't sure, and perhaps no one knew…

Outside the central plane.
In the endless void.
In a mysterious area impossible to pry into.
A divine battle that was enough to shake the central plane broke out.
Lord of the 333rd level of the bottomless abyss–King of Decay: Labrace had opened a void passage and fiercely attacked the God of the Prison God System, the God Kingdom of the Kobold God.
Divinity battle.
It was great and glorious with the cruel and brutal legend in the mouth of the bards.
It meant two gods would fight to the death once the war between gods started.
That was the cruelest war in the world.
The loser would fall from the top of the world's authority, eternal life, and immortality. It would turn into mud and nothingness.
No god could bear the consequences.
The holy spirits that emitted divine power guarded the torn gap before the divine kingdom. It blocked the endless abyssal creatures.
In the void passage, the rotten dragons, fallen angels, flesh titans, supreme demons… All kinds of ultimate soldiers carried pungent smells as they crazily attacked the troop of the kobold god.
The Grim Reaper harvested lives every minute and every second.
The scene was crazy and cruel.
Inside the god's kingdom, on the throne made of gold and gemstones, the kobold god held the golden bone scepter. It stared at the dozens of cracks in the god's kingdom with a fierce gaze.
He was shocked and furious.
"Damned King of Decay! Why did you suddenly attack my god kingdom?"
He couldn't understand why someone would target it after it had survived the last battle of gods and never left the divine kingdom.
Moreover, the one who came was the famous ruler of the abyss, the King of Decay.
The other party held absolute authority over the rot.
Although his mastery of greed and the dog-headed man's godhood was not low...
The other party had the battle authority.
'Kacha!'
Terrifying cracks appeared above the god's kingdom.
Divine power with a rotten stench seeped into the cracks. Once the aura enveloped it, even a holy spirit with divine power would instantly rot until it turned to mud.
The scene looked exceptionally terrifying.
"King of Decay, how dare you?!!"
The kobold god became even more furious.
The other party had used its authority to envelop its divine kingdom. That meant both sides had already begun a life-and-death battle.
This scene would never have happened if it weren't for irreconcilable hatred… However, it never offended the other party.
"King of Decay! Why did you attack me?
"Aren't you afraid of the siege of the Prison God System?"
The golden bone scepter emitted waves of divine power. It forcibly repaired the cracks in the kingdom and blocked the invasion of the rotten authority.
The god's kingdom was the main battlefield. There would be no suspense in the battles if one broke through.
Just as the kobold god fumed, an evil voice angrier than he sounded.
"Bastard! Lowly, filthy reptile!
"You dare to peep at my authority?!
"Today, I will let you taste what rot is!"
The question that baffled immediately confused the kobold god when it heard this.
"Damn, are you a fool?"
He shouldn't have come up with such a clumsy excuse, right? Even if it wanted to find an excuse.
"How dare I, the god of kobolds? Go to the abyss to spy on my authority?
"Am I tired of living?"
Even the ruler of the Prison God System, the god of the kobolds did not have the guts to do so, right?
It tried its best to suppress its emotions and explain.
"Great King of Decay, there must be a misunderstanding! Let's stop first!"
The voice was not calm as words came out of its mouth. Instead, it was like a fire ignited a gas tank and exploded.
"Crawlers! Your soul power and divine power are all under my gaze... And you forcefully snatched the rotten authority right in front of me!
"You've planned for the central plane for a long time, right? You dare to do this because you have the Prison God System as your backer?
"Crawler, no matter who comes today, it will die!"
The furious blasphemy shook the entire god's kingdom.
"Divine power? Soul power? The central plane? Snatch it in front of it?"
The kobold god suddenly thought of a figure when it heard this.
The other party had imprisoned its soul!
It immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
"That f*cking human overlord framed me!"

Ice Snow Empire, Frostwolf Territory.
Rebecca stood in the ice-and-snow-covered courtyard and stared at the blue sky in a daze. She did not move for a long time.
A girl about fifteen or sixteen years old stood beside her. She wore a thick white bear fur cotton coat, and a furry hat covered her head. It revealed only her small and exquisite face.
The girl surprisingly held a Black Sorbet Ice Cream wrapped in plant leaves. She would take a spoonful of it, then shiver and cry out repeatedly.
However, the girl didn't put it down after it was cold. Instead, she continued to scoop it up with even more interest.
After a long time, Rebecca returned to her senses and looked at the girl. She felt helpless.
"Lilias, you've eaten enough. Stop eating. That is desert food. You'll catch a cold and get a stomachache... "
The girl happily took another bite and proudly looked at her.
"No way. Why can't I eat more of such delicious food?
"And why can we only eat it in the desert?"
Rebecca didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she allowed her.
The girl hurriedly followed when she saw Rebecca leave.
She tilted her little head and chattered that squeezed Rebecca.
"Sister, is Lord Richard that outstanding? You still remember him since your return. You even declined Father's arrangement to go hunting with the descendants of other nobles... In the past, you liked this activity very much."
Rebecca blushed. "How did you know? Lord Richard is just my business partner."
The girl giggled.
"Sister, you don't even dare to look at me when you lie..."
Anticipation filled her tone.
"I want to see if he's as handsome as the descendants of the archdukes pursuing you if he comes next time. I won't agree if he is not handsome."
Rebecca thought of that extraordinary figure, and her tsundere face revealed a bright smile.
"Those descendants of the archdukes… Who do you think you are to compare Lord Richard?"
The girl beside her covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
An elderly butler came forward and reported in a deep voice when they entered the house.
"Miss Rebecca, everything is ready."
Rebecca had a relaxed expression just a moment ago. She focused her gaze, and she revealed a solemn expression.
At this moment, her aura suddenly changed. A dignified and murderous aura appeared.
It was as if a queen held the world power and was about to ascend to her throne.
It was a stark contrast to the girl next door's attitude just now.
The girl beside her felt that something was wrong. She subconsciously took two steps away, and the smile on her face disappeared.
Rebecca nodded calmly.
"Carry out the plan."
The old butler looked at the figure whose aura had changed enormously. He was momentarily in a daze as if he saw the young Frostwolf Grand Duke.
"Yes, Young Rebecca… My lord!"
He inexplicably could not say the word 'Miss'. So he subconsciously changed it to a more respectful form of address.
After the old butler left, the girl behind Rebecca looked weakly at her. She was completely different and said softly.
"Sister?"
Rebecca turned around and looked at the girl. She reached out and rubbed her little head.
"Lilias, I'm leaving."
The girl panicked and subconsciously grabbed the corner of her clothes.
"Sister, where are you going?"
Rebecca turned her head to look at the open door. At this moment, snow covered the sky above the courtyard. Heavy snow fell.
"Take charge of the clan."

Richard busily ground. He heard the sound of a private message.
He opened it, and a familiar ID appeared before him.
[Hyena: Boss Qingqiu, have you heard? Soul-devouring force suddenly attacked in the desert of death depths.]
[Moreover, their different from usual outposts. That force constantly attacked those who sent troops to the desert of death. The powerful force beat many players who went to level up.]
[The ruler of that new force calls himself the Lord of the Dunes…]
Richard was startled.
"Dune Lord?
"What was this?"
He usually doesn't mind. But he felt something was wrong at this critical juncture.
[Qingqiu: Tell me in detail, when did the Dune Lord appear? What level is the other party?]
[Hyena: No one knows when the Dune Lord appeared. We only know that it started three days ago. The powerful troop attacked some players who were leveling up.]
[A few hours ago, a 100-man guild gathered tens of thousands of troops to train. The powerful force eventually wiped out more than half of them. This news just got spread…]
[Boss Qingqiu, that Dune Lord is exceptionally a soul crusher. All of its troops are above level 15. Your territory happens to be in the desert of death. I suggest you be careful.]
