Slim Fatty was floating in the air above the army, her arms folded behind her back and her expression lofty. After gaining the bloodline of Pangu's Divine Sword, her closeness to the blade had increased to levels she could never have foreseen.

Her class was just the icing on the cake, but she was banned from using her bloodline, so she could only helplessly use her class. Her class was not bad though, as its offensive capability was insanely increased to the point where her damage output was even higher than Essence from a certain point of view.

Slim Fatty was too lazy to kill these weaklings herself, so she waved a hand and around 50 Divine Rank swords customized for her flew out, rushing into the army below and slaughtering wantonly.

She didn't even bother to use the passives or actives affiliated with these various Divine weapons. She just let them slice away like they were in the hands of barbarians.

It was crude, barbaric and bloody but effective. She used the least effort to reap the most lives, and none below could block the weapons because they were buffed by her outrageous class passives.

The final core member of the group was Loving Aunt.

Loving Aunt glanced at the army below with a strange look. Her lovely features which were a picture perfect copy of Lilith - Draco's mother - and very similar to Draco himself.

Her black hair had grown out a bit and reached her shoulders, while her emerald green eyes had a slitted pupil not unlike a real serpent. Apart from her relatively tall height and huge bust that was in the level of Sublime and her mother, Genevieve, Loving Aunt seemed unchanged.

After all, her bloodline has always been there, it was just that she finally raised her purity from 24% to 99%. For someone like her who was the literal trainer and pinnacle of Serpent God Inheritance techniques for the Lineage, her power boost was even greater than the others.

Her 99% was not the same as the others, because she could display far more prowess than the others using the same amount of power.

But here, only class was allowed. Well, the rule didn't really apply to her as Draco's aunt and long time mother figure, but she didn't want to take advantage of her darling nephew too much.

It wasn't good to openly defy his orders using her special place in his heart all the time. While many might think it natural given their relationship, it would still cause problems in the long run.

Besides, playing like this was also fun.

As such, she playfully released some of her active skills to torment the enemy while watching from afar, noticing how potent the toxins her class produced was. It wasn't as powerful as what she could produce with her bloodline, but for a Rank 5 Divine class, this was seriously good stuff.

The number of core members in this southward army were small, but their power and killing speed even somehow surpassed those of the other directions.

Well, except for one…

.................

Near the sea, around the area of the Sea Route on the Cario Content's side.

A large airship was moving forward quickly, but it wasn't firring like the ones on the continent. Rather, it was moving quietly but menacingly, looking like it had a purpose.

On this ship was a bevy of beautiful ladies along with only a few men. (un)fortunately for the ladies, the men on board were not interested in them for various reasons.

The leader of this group was the almighty lolitician, Sublime Notion. She was currently in the captains cabin pouring over documents with her round rimmed glasses on as usual, not even bothering to watch what as going on.

She looked up and saw a picture of her as a child with her father and mother, and she smiled wistfully. Then there was another picture with Misery as a young man rubbing her head while she was a dumb little girl.

This also made Sublime smiled softly. However when her eyes fell on a picture of her being carried by the scruff of her neck by Riveting Night, her eyes became red and she hyperventilated from hatred.

She had to look at the picture of herself whipping Kiran in a BDSM room to clam herself down and continue her work.

Up on the deck, 10 core members and a few others formed the leaders under sublime. They were Yui, Lucia, Keira, Hera, Kronalord, Omega Raider, Zaine, Roma, Hikari, Vano.

Draco didn't trust anyone but Sublime to look after his three NPCs beauties and Eva didn't trust anyone but Sublime to look after Yui, her little cousin. There was also Lucia, Hera and Keira, the Three Pinnacles and Eva as well as Sublime's best friends.

As for Krona and Omega, as Leviathan and Poseidon, it was natural that they could handle the bulk of this seaward mission. Cold Summer was also a water user but was left behind because Krona and Omega were more than enough.

As for the sneaky Vano, he had been pushed her after the other four rejected him out of fear, leaving the fellow angry and dissatisfied. Most of the handsome men were on the other ships, and he had prepared a lot of plans and tricks to fool them into his bed.

However, it feel to ruin since he was now on the same ship as his big sister Roma, who was naturally made by their mother to keep him in check. Vano could only sulk by the side.

When they reached the sea area, Kronalord and Omega Raider stepped forth with smiles on their faces. Krona was not really interested in romance at this time, so none of the beauties were to his liking.

As for Omega, he was a Zeus lineage member and naturally inherited the lecherousness of a Greek God, but like any Greek God, his taste was refined. Unlike Pedo-Zeus who liked little girls, he was more into the… unique flavor.

Normal human women were boring. To him, all their canals were basically the same in terms of feeling, the only variation lay in their height - which affected the depth of their canal - their weight - which affected the tightness to a certain degree - and their promiscuity - which affected the overall quality.

Only non-human women could show him something new as their biologies were different and naturally, the adapted to reproduce in different ways.

Bu that was beside the point. Currently, the two were overlooking the sea below as their powers manifested themselves. It was time to clear out the entire coast in a bid for Umbra's expansion.
