Within the Main Hall of the Clan of Monstre, seven silhouettes of all sizes from themselves together for the first time in a single hall. They were the Clan Lords of the World of Exterreri. As said, it was the first time they had gathered together for millenniums, and the fact that they had accepted the gathering was for a good reason, A reason that determines the fate of everyone else in the World of Exterreri. The foreigners, after discovering the spread of information, only had one thing in mind. It was to destroy everyone and everything in the World of Exterreri. 

That was what the Clan Lord of Monstre and Clan Lord of Rose thought upon hearing the words of the World Serpent. The World of Exterreri was about to get devoured, and if they do won’t stand united. Their fall would be determined. But of course, as one would expect. There were some Clan Lords skeptical of their words. Their reasons were clearly obvious as the ones speaking of such facts were the best liars in the Clan Lords. 

“Are you sure about this information? How do we know you aren’t lying to us, Typhon? You can’t simply expect us to believe in your words without any reason, right? The two of you are the greatest liars in the World of Exterreri. Do you think anyone’s gonna believe you without any questions?” The Clan Lord of Vert questioned while gazing upon the two Clan Lords with suspicion. 

The Clan Lords within the Main Hall of the Clan of Monstre nodded at the same time. They agreed with the words of the Lord of Vert. If the two lying bastards didn’t have a shred of good evidence for what they were saying. Then there would be no reason for the Clan Lords to believe them. The bastards might even be planning something bad if the Clan Lords had believed them. 

“You want evidence? Then let me give you one.”  The Lord of Monstre said with a serious voice as he started giving his evidence to the Clan Lords in front of them. 

“It has rather been a while, but I won’t doubt that none of you had noticed the strange things happening in the World of Exterreri. Strange power signature that rivals a Clan Lord, The disappearance of the Forsaken Continent, and many more. The World of Exterreri has been heavily investigated. Especially its inhabitants. Do you think anyone can simply make an entire Forsaken Continent disappear?”

“The answer is simple. It is the foreigners, and they have been investigating the World of Exterreri ever since their arrival. Heck, they even started a plague in my continent and are currently heading towards my Clan. The moment I fall. Your ancient clans would be the next ones in line. You won’t be able to stop them and even if you unite. You would already be too late.”

“But what are you trying to say, Typhon. Do you wish for us to unite and fight against these powerful foreigners? And why the heck did you even hide the existence of the Realm of Piksyon, to begin with? Oh, you seriously aren’t thinking that none of us would notice your strange actions in the recent centuries.” Another Clan Lord said with a cold voice. Unfortunately, Typhon wasn’t the only cunning Clan Lord in the World of Exterreri. 

“The disappearance of your ten generals. It looks like they have been killed by trying to invade the Realm of Piksyon. It also appears that you are using the fact that all of us know of its existence so that we would be forced to help you not get exterminated.” The Clan Lord continued as the Lord of Rose turned her gaze towards the Lord of Monstre.

“Yes, I did lie and planned everything but let me tell you one thing. The riches found in the Realm of Piksyon are like heaven against trash when compared against the foreign worlds you have conquered. The Realm of Piksyon is full of materials that would make the ancient clans stronger than ever before.” 

“Besides, the size of such a world is bigger compared to ours. In comparison, the World of Exterreri is smaller than a continental region. It says a lot about the vastness of the Realm of Piksyon. If we conquer it, think about how much we can rise and become more than what we are currently now. A thousand times better than the current us.” 

“This is a rare opportunity, especially when the strongest of the Realm of Piksyon had entered our World. If we ganged up against them, then we might have a chance on conquering their World.” Typhon was good at using his mouth. Even the Lord of Rose heavily agreed with such a fact. 

The Clan Lords thought about the words of Typhon. The riches and the lands they could get if they defeated the foreigners would be bigger than anything they had conquered. It was an opportunity they would never get. The foreigners already considered them as enemies, so why would they hesitate?

While the Clan Lords were thinking about the riches and lands they could get, the Lord of Noir sighed and gazed upon the greedy bastards in front of him. There was no chance of peace when the ancient clans were under such greedy lords. After a while, the Lord of Noir stood up, causing every lord to turn their gaze towards him. 

“You can do anything you want. My Clan won’t take part in any of it. It doesn’t matter if you could conquer the Realm of Piksyon or not. It doesn’t matter if the riches found are enough to last for tens of thousands of years. The only thing that matters is one thing. Upon the journey to the zenith, if one recklessly climbs the mountain. There would be a time when the rock below would crumble and make a landslide that would bring everyone down.”

“There are limits on how one can be greedy, and most of all, one must not let greed cloud their vision. That is simply what I want to say. Whether it is about defending this World or not, the Clan of Noir wants out of it. Besides, what kind of world are we going to defend anyways?” Such were the last words of the Lord of Noir before walking out of the Clan Hall of the Clan of Monstre. He walked out with confidence as if there was no weight of saving an entire world behind his back. 

As the Lord of Noir left, the Clan Lords in the Clan Hall found themselves in silence. Despite hearing the words of the Lord of Noir, it appears that they didn’t heed any of it. They turned their gaze towards the Lord of Monstre and wanted to join whatever plan he had within his mind. The exchange was simple. They wanted to join in with the invasion of the Realm of Piksyon.

Just as one would expect, greed seems to have clouded their vision, hearts, and mind. They thought that since conquering worlds has been going well. What makes the Realm of Piksyon different? The Realm of Piksyon was simply a stepping stone to their glory. Such foolish thoughts of old fools. 

Meanwhile, as the Lord of Noir left the Main Hall. He sighed and turned his gaze towards his oldest daughter. His oldest daughter smiled upon noticing his gaze. Zella thought that her father was rather brave at the moment and cool. Though, there was one surprise she wanted to give towards her father. 

“Father, it appears that a lot of beings wanted to meet you after your performance,” Zella said with a serene voice as the Lord of Noir raised an eyebrow. He turned his gaze towards the people behind Zella. Zella deactivated her ability, resulting in the people behind her revealing themselves. 

They were the ones that didn’t want to follow the ways of their Clan. There was an Old Monstre and a humanoid one, along with many more from the ancient clans. He released a smile upon their reveal and uttered with a calm voice. “Follow me… Let’s have a short talk.”

At that moment, a lot of things were about to change though such change might take a lot of effort to reach its conclusion. After the Call of the Clan Lords, hours had passed since then, and a large amount of army was gathering in the Main Clan of Monstre. They were preparing for a siege from the foreigners.

Most of the army came from the ancient clans all over the World of Exterreri. The gathering of a vast army went beyond tens of millions. With strange technology all over the place, it made it look like the invading army was fighting against an advanced fortress. Though, sometimes, a picture of scenery tends to lie. 

What does that mean? Well, it meant only one thing. Technology, quantity, and quality. No matter what they were. Only a single sentence would decide everything. And such a sentence echoed from the dark heavens. 

“LET THE HEAVENS FALL, EXECUTION!!!”

With that sentence, the dark heavens split apart along with the eternal void below. The continent where the Clan of Monstre resided got split in half. The blinking starry stars and gorgeous colorful garden revealed themselves once again. 

The flames of destruction shone within the center of the continent. The blood of those within it faded in the void. The first attack has begun though it still hasn’t ended. After all, one must say…

“CHARGE!!!”

Gigantic Flying Abominations then exited through the fissure and started devouring those near them.
