- Master...

Fernando frowned as he heard old Wade's trembling voice from the phone

- What's wrong?

He asked. His heart was giving him bad vibes

- Young master, he...disappeared from capsule

*Crash

Fernando's hands trembled and glass in his hands broke as it fell down

Similar scenes were happening all around the world. The players from all over the world disappeared from their capsules

The world was in an uproar. Hundreds of millions of players disappeared as if they never existed, just like that

* * *

Developer sensed as the players were no longer astral projection of their souls. Their bodies have been transported by gods. Now if they died, they would die for real

He was feeling bitter in his heart

,, If I don't snatch at least partial sovereignty of the realm, the gods will vent their anger on earthlings. Then, my plan will be destroyed. I can't let them do that ''

- Destroy the painting!

Elpis, the goddess of hope yelled

- Hell fire!

Lucifer yelled and lava lit up his body. Then he punched with all his might, but painting just rippled and shook, then repulsive force threw his huge body back

- Night monarch!

Hades yelled and process of his shadow being drawn slowed down. His body gave off repulsive aura, which swallowed matter

- Star light fall

Maven, the astral god made his move and the hall shook, before it collapsed. The meteors rained down on the painting

None of them gave mercy

- Threads of death

Cold, crisp voice of death spread and bind the painting with black thread like shackles

- Aaaah, kill them all!

Developer yelled and countless creatures from paintings interrupted the gods as they attacked in droves, dying in thousands but they were never ending

- Purgatory!

Pyromania demon yelled and swallowed countless demons in magma

Suddenly Hades grunted in pain as his power was halved

- Hehehehe, my lady, kill them all

Developer grinned and patted off corrosive energies from his body as he stared at beautiful lady walk out from painting

She wore tight black armor, which shone with purple color of abyss. Her hair was short and white like snow, covered in black unusual helm. She held purple abyss sword in her hand and her red cape fluttered in the air.

- I welcome you, Nu, the queen of abyss, please eliminate the evil gods who have spread cruelty and disease around the world. They gave up on us, mortals a long time ago, they...

- Shut up

Nu turned her head and made the developer hold his tongue.

- Pr, primordial god? How is this possible? WHAT DID YOU DO EVIL SPAWN?

Luficer yelled in fear

- Don't worry, she's just a fraction of her will

Chrono Alpha appeared out of nowhere and coldly gazed at both Nu and developer

Seems he broke out from the trap

Developer took his time to once again appraise familiar faces with his system

[ Chrono Alpha

Title: God of time

HP: It does not end

Level: Cannot be measured ]

[ Elpis

Remarks: Hope dies last

Title: Goddess of life

HP: ???

[ Arkavine

Remarks: Fate is a circle, drawn in unsteady hands

Title: Goddess of fate

HP: ???

Level: ??? ]

Before he could appraise others, they made their moves and started fighting Nu all at once

Nu was the primordial ruler of abyss, who had already died, but developer managed to awaken part of her will. It was his last trump card if something went wrong

Developer knew she wouldn't lose that easily, even though she could use only thousandth of her power so he stabilized his being and control over the realm while others were fighting

,, There's no turning back now ''

He took in deep breath and his gaze turned colder

* * *

Dung was fishing in tranquility when he suddenly felt uncomfortable and opened his eyes

- W, what is happening?

He stared at purple sky as he muttered. His body somehow felt odd too

- Is this a new patch? No... I have a bad feeling about this

He said with seriousness as he stood up
