”Civil conflict?” He repeated in disbelief ”What are you talking about?”
”Perhaps the truth of the Lost Three Hundred Years”
Joshua did not knohere to start, for it was a very long story
Time must be reversed to the last era, before the continent nas were barren, oceans were havoc The battle between Order and Chaos had shattered the skies, energy radiation from the Void shot over the land as dozens of races, ees tried to survive within crevices amidst the radiation, tremors, tempest and acid rain
In that period, the sun and theDarkness filled the entire world as seven continents were flooded by half-boiling seawater, leaving a bare few scattered shards Most intelligent races of the seas were extinct, with only a few lucky ones surviving
The Gods had won, but before the than Evil Gods In the face of their devastated hos ielded divine poere at a loss of what to do: what they now faced was not a formidable foe that terrorized the Void, but a broken world
What was once seven continents were now nothing but shards that were of no considerable size After judging the traitors, all the deities and the hu question: Could they still stay in this world?
The southern elven survivors still had their Holy Lake in the highlands, but Father Nature had already left The former holy land was noithout value since they had lost their patron deity, with the surviving elves left in turuide them
The northern continent was only left with a chain of shattered rounds between the Gods and the invading Evil Gods The dimensional fissures that were yet to close were still unleashi+ng raging thunder and energy storms, and no life could survive there apart from the dwarves who hit beneath the surface
The eastern continent was essentially puments Over a thousand shattered isles were now spread a no reselory co typhoons and cyclones could devour those isles at any moment
To the west, at the fore that was once the sturdiest backbone of the world was preserved Dwarves, Avian people and the survivors of other races hence dwelled a on their last breath… Even so, every continent to the west of the center of the world had vanished like smoke or sunk to the bottos, the holy land of the sauroks and the grasslands of the centaurs were coone, the birthplaces of thelost their pillaring faith, were also on their legs as the divinity backlash festered
”Let's leave this place We will look for another world, so that the glory of Mycroft would not end here”
One of the Gods had said, theintelligent marine creatures His friend, the Lord of Murlocs had already perished fro no trace in this world The God hier bore any sentiment toward the seas of Mycroft, and only wanted to leave the now-decrepit world
”We cannot give up on this place” Another deity said, his voice bold and forceful like a swinging haestion ”Mycroft is our hoht bravely at the frontlines even as countless Gods and countless lives fall in this place Giving up on Mycroft is no different fro up all that we have sacrificed!”
”No, we must leave as soon as we can for the tribes we protect We could wait for Mycroft to recover in days to coer survive in this place!”
”Even if the world is broken, there is stillthat we shouldn't abandon…”
The reued They were no friends in the first place and had been forced to unite for the Final Battle, and noith the battle concluded, conflict exploded ah it all, the more the Gods conveyed their standpoint the more confrontational they became: one faction believed that the broken world of Mycroft was not worth saving, while the other believed that it orth to be rebuilt on both sentirounds even if it was broken If the many equipment buried beneath debris could be excavated, more than a few ecospheres could be swiftly reestablished and preserves, and there was a chance that they could not find a neorld that fulfilled their surviving conditions on such short notice
Finally, with the silent support froration were suppressed Given authority, the countless Gods who advocated that they stay created small demiplanes with their divine pohere their Children could inhabit It was a valid short-term measure, but their Godly poould be exhausted if that prolonged, and the Gods themselves would fall into eternal silence
But how could one rebuild this broken world? Even the Sage hiht be easier for him to create a neorld than to repair a Mycroft that was now essentially a rag doll diced into pieces Rivers were now cracked ice that stopped short of breaking, the World Will and the Mother Goddess all hanging on their last breaths: any drastic alterations would coued, the World Will had fallen into a slu endured excessive malevolent blows fro faith of life during war, its spirit began to diminish after that, so much so that the World Will itself could not hold on
But though the World Will was silent, the Mother Goddess was still lucid Even if her true forinal continents of Mycroft—were mostly fractured, she could still st the Gods themselves, She, unable to abide by it, stood out and said, to all the Gods and the Sage hihing down over all bickering and discord All the Gods turned their eyes to the Goddess, and she showed no hesitation
Now is not the ti into the Abyss, and Mycroft itself is slowly leaving the heart of the Multiverse We are sinking, and if that continues, ill sink into the Abyss, and become our former enemies
Therefore, I shall combine the continents
I shall reassemble the remnants of all seven realms
I am born froh I ascended as a deity latently, my existence itself is a sy, and the continent shall reunite… even if that reunion wouldtribes in this world
The Earth Goddess illing to bind the torn world, with Herself as a sacrifice It was a fine decision from a rational point of view, but if the Gods would only do things logically, they would long have been robbed of their will by divinity Therefore, how could they agree withwith the Source of the Universe?
”You have already favored the world greatly and sacrificed too much, even the 'Drakes' you've sheltered are virtually extinct”
The Gods of who advocatedtheir heads in response ”It should never be you who be sacrificed”
”Allowto take Her place, to voluntarily sacrifice all that they were ”I am the God of Mountains and Swamps, therefore considered a part of the earth”
”Allow me”
A short yet determined voice Another God stood out: He was the God of Rivers and Lakes
”Me”
”Me”
”Me”
Every deity of the bygone Earth faction arose, just as many other powerful Gods came forward, for to them, life is but an eternal dream If their sacrifice could indeed save their world, their naside civilization, the ute spoke in that veryhis head ”No one has to be sacrificed”
”Look to the Void The corpses of our enemies are many and hold endless power… We can reshape the world, by burning Chaos hat ree's words turned the eyes of every deity to so they never cared about before—the reht that they could use those corpses that welled with vengeance and Chaos, for a single touch would corrupt one soul, and only the e himself could resist that kind of power
Anyone would sneer at the suggestion of using theested it was not the Sage
But since it was the Sage, all the Gods illing to believe in that crazy idea
”Then? What happened next? Joshua?”
Over the underground lake, Nostrada Joshua described into his gri for correlations from the bits of infore quickly realized that while Joshua's narrative appeared absurd, it explained everything in the past perfectly
”Then… came the illusion I saw back in the Multiverse Sacrificial Grounds”
Joshua sighed, recalling thehis first arrival at the Multiverse Sacrificial Grounds Those were broken, scatteredof history where the voices of Sage, apostles, deities and anonyst those ry question that tree's helpless answer
