The annihilation of the angel race sent the God of Sky into a fury.

Naturally, that fury fell squarely on the God of War, and the clash between them grew even more intense.

Caelum watched from the sidelines, enjoying the spectacle. The harder the gods fought, the more opportunities he would have to quietly pick up the spoils and profit.

Somewhere in a certain kingdom’s capital.

This was territory aligned with the God of Nature. Not far away lay the battlefield where the God of Nature and the God of Life were locked in conflict. Because of that, a large number of adventurers and players had gathered here.

They had all hoped to rise to greatness in the chaos of the divine war.

Instead, they realized they did not even qualify to participate.

At best, they could serve as disposable pawns.

The race devoted to the God of Nature was known as the Sylvans, a magical species that closely resembled humans, save for their pointed ears and refined features.

They excelled in magic research and possessed vast reserves of spells. Many adventurers and players had joined this faction precisely for that reason.

However, learning magic from the Sylvans was far from easy.

Players had to act as scouts or bait on the battlefield to earn contribution points, which could then be exchanged for spells.

Whether they survived long enough to do so was another matter.

"At this rate, we’re not going to make it. We can’t rely on luck forever. If we get spotted even once, we’re dead."

The players sighed in frustration.

Death meant starting over from scratch. The system in this game was brutal. Every mission carried real risk.

Even major guilds like AXN and AXF99 were reduced to cannon fodder in this war. Ordinary players stood no chance. Even official organizations from various countries were struggling.

After all, the players were not the protagonists of this war.

Suddenly, a massive shadow drifted across the sky above the capital. Brilliant streams of magical light spilled down from it.

Everyone looked up in awe.

"So that’s the Sylvans’ floating island?"

"Incredible..."

Someone frowned, sensing something off.

"This is a war zone between the God of Nature and the God of Life. Why would they bring the floating island here?"

The next moment

Boom!

A massive explosion erupted in the distance, shaking heaven and earth. Smoke billowed into the sky as a powerful shockwave spread outward, sweeping across dozens of kilometers toward the capital.

Fear spread instantly.

A deafening roar followed.

Only then did they understand.

"Run!"

"The Sylvans are fighting dragons!"

The shockwave arrived in an instant, flattening the entire capital.

High above, massive magic circles formed one after another. The floating island stood firm against the shockwave and then launched its attack toward the distant dragons.

In truth, dragons, whether pureblood or not, were not intelligent beings.

At their core, they were mindless beasts driven only to destroy.

They worshiped no gods and belonged to no faction.

The Sylvans had initiated this battle.

The God of Nature was losing ground against the God of Life. Naturally, the Sylvans would not sit idly by.

Their plan was simple.

Capture the dragons of the Dragon Domain.

Transform them into magical weapons.

Then use those weapons to wage a god-slaying war against the God of Life.

The dragons of the Dragon Domain were unlike ordinary dragons. Even without divine blessings, they possessed unimaginable power.

That was precisely why the Sylvans targeted them.

"Activate the magic arrays!"

"Release the power!"

As the Sylvans completed their Divine Tier Magic, the floating island unleashed a radiant beam of light.

The savage dragon roared skyward, only to be struck directly.

Boom!

Blood rained down.

The dragon crashed to the ground.

"It worked!"

The Sylvans cheered.

"Recover the body!"

But before they could act, something unexpected happened.

A streak of light tore across the sky, effortlessly piercing through all defensive measures surrounding the floating island.

The Sylvans were stunned.

"Who is that?!"

A figure emerged from the light.

Caelum arrived.

An invisible wave swept across the island, instantly killing every Sylvan present.

He opened Infinite Arsenal and collected both the dragon’s corpse and the floating island.

Begin forging

Forging complete

The dragons of the Dragon Domain were almost all Tier 10 magical beings. Naturally, their remains produced Cosmic Domain Tier equipment.

As for the floating island

Caelum released it after reforging and stared at the massive structure in front of him.

"This thing is something else."

Cosmic Domain Sky Island

Type: Vehicle, Island

Traits: Durable, Floating, World, War Fortress

Skill: Single use Cosmic Domain Magic World Seed fully releases the island’s power, transforming it into the primordial seed of a new world

Though it appeared to be only the size of an island, its internal space was vast enough to form a world of its own.

If its skill were activated, it could become a true world seed, capable of growing into a realm comparable to the nine worlds.

A genuine act of creation.

"Now that’s valuable."

He stored the Cosmic Domain Sky Island and headed toward the Dragon Domain.

In a sense, his goal overlapped with the Sylvans’.

They wanted dragon corpses.

For Caelum, those were just appetizers.

Soon, he reached the outskirts of the Dragon Domain.

Everywhere he looked, violent dragons filled the skies.

He opened Infinite Arsenal and charged straight in.

Boom boom boom!

Countless magic weapons rained down, wiping out the dragons outside the domain in moments. Their bodies were immediately converted into equipment.

Moving deeper through the valley

The terrain opened up.

Caelum had truly entered the Dragon Domain.

Roars echoed endlessly.

There were even more dragons here than outside, and they were far stronger.

At a glance, there were at least a hundred Tier 10 dragons.

An astonishing number.

And the reason for that

Caelum’s gaze fell upon a massive black skeleton that stretched like a mountain range.

It was a divine corpse.

The remains of a god.

Because of its influence, the dragons of this domain had grown immensely powerful. Even without divine blessings, they could rival other magical races.

This corpse

was Caelum’s true objective.

He opened Infinite Arsenal and absorbed the divine remains in one motion.

Begin forging

Caelum felt a rare surge of anticipation.

"Material from a Divine Tier entity... I wonder what this will turn into."
