Chapter 1043 End Of Cario Continent

Man, conquering things was fun, wasn't it?

In the span of just one week, the Vita Expedition Army had already conquered about 90% of Cario Continent. The only places yet to feel the greedy hands of Umbra were those super forbidden zones that even Draco and Eva didn't dare enter as well as Cario Continent's final bastion, the Cario Continental Council Summit!

Right now, this single large mountain held all the kings and emperors of the various empires that ruled on Cario Continent, as well as various courtiers and lone powerhouses of various smaller factions or hidden ones.

In the past, gathering all of these fellows, even for an emergency meeting was tough, but today every single one of them was present, leading the place to be thoroughly packed and full to the brim.

The room was filled with shouting and arguments as various powerhouses roared out their grievance and anger. Especially after seeing so many of them here, their fear dissipated and their confidence swelled.

As such, things like 'Let's kill Vita', 'Let's enslave them and make them suffer' as well as 'They deserve to die' were thrown about like water in the sea.

Even those who were smarter and more calm were significantly agitated after hearing all this. The mob mentality began to infect them and they too felt like they could now do something with so many powerhouses lined up.

Many had no clue that Cario Continent had so many powerhouses, and seeing them all gathered them all in one place left them shocked. There were more than 50 Rank 7 powerhouses of different types and factions present, as well as over 10,000 Rank 6 fellows.

If they all banded together, they could instantly become the number 3 faction for sure, even pressuring the War Maniac Pavilion and the Church of Light a little should be possible!

However, they also knew that without a massive threat binding them together, they were no better than a pile of loose sand. Many hadn't left their little territories in ages, having remained in hiding all this while.

With everyone having their own thoughts and plans only Vita Kingdom could put them together like this, but while those on the ground were excited and agitated, the true top echelon were deathly silent.

Their faces were gloomy as the fellows below continued to make noise and prance about, but they knew that if Vita could pressure them to this point, then taking them out wasn't impossible.

Just take a look at the fate of the number 4 and 5 factions, the Mages Association and the Merchant's Guild! Both had been decimated by the three heads of Vita, Draco and his two wives!

ραпdα nᴏνa| сom This news caused every member of the power faction to shit their pants. If it were not for the War Event highlighting each other's locations, they would have fled into the unmapped zones to eke out an ignoble existence rather than die.

As it were, they could only sit with impatience and fear as Umbra's fangs neared their throats with each kilometer they conquered/razed to the ground.

Now Cario Continent, being their home continent, was the first to test their might.

Initially, they could have been exempt from this… but as you can imagine, they had paid Vita Kingdom a 'visit' back then and had even directly made a move unlike the others who had simply watched.

After all, Vita was on their territory and their ability to threaten Rank 7 existences'irectly caused them to froth at the mouth with fear. In their eyes, they could see Vita usurping their power through deterrence and taking control over the continent, so it was imperative to nip them in the bud before they grew!

Besides, they had long grown greedy due to the profits from the trade route and wanted to monopolize it. Only the clearing of a wave of monsters was hard, but the ships, organizing goods and then maintaining the cleanness of the route was easily doable for them on their own.

However, such greed had inevitably led to their downfall now as they had to make up for their actions in the past. It was fine if they won and they brutalized Vita into submission, but they failed and now the gun barrel was aimed at their scrawny necks.

Naturally, they couldn't feel too good about such a thing. It was always incomparably fun and exciting when you forced others to eat shit because you were stronger, but when the same happened to you, it was as if the world had abandoned you.

BANG!

Before the members of the Cario Continental Council could discuss any more, their faces changed greatly as they heard a huge quake.

Vita was here!

Shua! Shua! Shua!

Immediately, everyone rushed out and observed what was going on, but their faces became black. Vita's four airships were destroying every inch of land callously while slowly approaching, like a grim reaper dragging his sickles across then ground while he taunted his foe.

It was clear that they didn't put them, the 'powerhouses' of Cario Conitent, in their eyes at all!

This filled many with fury and once fury was present, it suppressed fear and logic. As such, many directly lost their patience and made moves against the distant airships.

"IMPUDENT!"

"ARROGANT!"

"TRASH!!"

Immediately, arrogant roars of dissatisfaction came from the Vita airships as powerful attacks were released one after the other. The core members unleashed their weakest active skills which formed a cloud as they bombarded the attackers.

The faces of those rushing forward to attack changed as they switched to defense, but one hand couldn't block ten blows. Many of them were struck and directly exploded into bloodmist.

The Rank 7 among them coughed out blood and were sent flying, smashing through the ground and digging ravines. Their HP dropped to dangerously low amounts and it was through luck that they weren't one shot!

The faces of all those spectating changed to one of abject horror as they immediately understood the implications.

Oh God, it wasn't just Draco and his wives who could kill Rank 7s, but even the members below them!

How could they understand? All the core members had Divine Rank Classes of the top most quality, and were at Rank 5. This meant that at best, they would have only 2 levels of Rank Suppression on them with a lot of Level Suppression.

However, unfortunately for the Rank 7s, they had a special guild title that allowed them to ignore one rank of Rank Suppression and 25 levels of Level Suppression, which meant that even though their stats were still likely suppressed by 99%, they did not have a 60% reduction to damage and defense while the other side had 60% increase damage and defense.

Now, the latter was only 30% on both sides, which meant very little in the long run. After all, the core members had crazy passives that increased their damage and defense by 500% or so percent, as well as others that increased their stats by 2000% and stuff.

You think this little suppression was enough to cripple them? Not to mention that they all had Divine SETS, not just pieces of Divine Equipment. And these Divine Sets were tailor made for their classes and bloodlines, allowing them to multiply their power exponentially.

So yeah, the core members could each solo a Rank 7 foe and come out on top. However, they could only do that until their various active skills cooled down, so they couldn't each individually kill a Rank 7 one after the other like the Evil Trio who could likely smash any amount of Rank 7s to death.

The core members then turned their fury onto the remaining fellows who lined up before them. Before they could pronounce judgment, Davian, the representative of the Cario Continental Council who had once visited Vita when it was a budding City-State to negotiate with Draco, stood out.

"Greetings friends from afar, can we have a little discussion?" he requested calmly, his back soaked with sweat.

Essence stood forward along with Shadowheart and the two hooligans. The four shared a look and sneered.

"No!"

Davian felt his heart sink. He looked around and searched for Sublime, who could be considered a friend since he often interacted with her when he came for summits and council meetings.

Obviously, it didn't need to be said that Davian opposed the marching on Vita. Anyone who had met Draco and Eva would learn that these two were bound to rise in the future, so why antagonize them?

However, Davian did not have absolute power, so when he made that suggestion, he was easily overruled and bashed to the side and told to shut up. Naturally now that trouble had come, just like with Borgious, they had pushed him forward so he could save them by using his good relationship with Vita Kingdom.

Still without Sublime here, all that kindness was for nothing. Davian's knew this was the end of the line for him so he sighed and turned back. However, Misery soon frowned and then rolled his eyes.

"Dudes, my niece just sent me a message to spare some Davian guy and kill the rest. What do you say?" Misery asked their opinions.

Shadowheart, Essence and AP shared a look. AP then spoke with folded arms. "Brother Misery, do you smoke toothpaste? None of us are willing to offend that crazy niece of yours, and it costs us nothing to save that bloke."

Misery was speechless. He never understood why everyone seemed to fear his niece. She was cute and silly, so why did they talk of her like she was a devil?

Of course, Sublime would always act like she did as a child for her darling Uncle Misery who pampered her since young, but to others, she was a demonic loli with a vicious streak.

Misery then tuned to the group of 'powerhouses' with an arrogant expression.

"Which one of you is Davian?"

Davian paused and turned around with surprise, while the others also looked at him with surprise and a bit of hope. Maybe that favor he built with them was coming to fruition and could save them too?

Misery didn't bother when Davian outed himself. He simply grabbed forward and the Davin fellow who was at Rank 4 was dragged over to the ship. Misery then pushed him behind and ignored the fellow who wisely did not say as word as he understood.

The remaining fellows also understood and their faces changed. This was a pardon before the slaughter! Immediately, many began to flee or try to fight back, knowing that this was a moment of life and death.

However, now that they were surrounded, could they even run?

Not waiting any further, all of the core members exploded with power as they mass cast all their Continent Zone wide destroying skills and spells. Immediately, the entire space of the world seemed to shatter as almost a hundred different attacks of a cataclysmic nature spawned from the sky or were manifested through their bodies.

The sheer power of these attack caused those who were fleeing to stop and just give up. Where are you going to run to from a Continent Zone wide attack of this scale, and so many of them?

The Rank 7s screamed and mustered all their power, but they only offset some part. The rest naturally landed and destroyed the entire summit mountain as well as everything else.

Luckily, these class skills could be controlled to not cause natural damage, or who would use it so easily?

However, this Area Zone where the Cario Continental Council had established itself was forever changed by the damage. Just like the Ruined Plains of Deriam which was permanently terraformed by Draco and the Dark Knight's battle, this place too would never be the same.

It was a new all-element forbidden zone that many would not dare to enter, except a brave few in pursuit of the rare resources and treasures that would spawn, relating to the power and classes of the core members.
