“How about… you?” Eridel said as he eyed the silver egg with red criss-crossing patterns, radiating a chaotic and sharp aura. “Sure, why not. A place like this would do well to raise a good juggernaut.”

Raising his right arm, the egg separated from the others and floated up in response as if it were a magnet. *Swish!* He swiped his arm down in one sharp movement and sent the egg speeding towards the Shiona World like it was a shooting star.

However, surrounding the egg was a golden glow that mysteriously disappeared when it made contact with the Magic Shield. Obviously, this was the same countermeasure that Eridel had used against the Eonix World’s Magic Shield, rendering it useless.

The egg followed a similar process as its predecessor, breaking through the clouds and crashing into a small town whose residents were already fleeing with shock. But unlike the Creature of Conquest, there was no high keening cry that besotted the defenceless Mortals around it. No, the Creature of War was going to have to do it on its own.

…

*Zuuuuuuumm…*

Floating above the shattered debris of a broken building was a menacing knife that audibly hummed with power. It was mostly silver in colour but there were a few red designs that patterned the blade along with a faint crimson glow. The hilt was also entirely red.

It looked quite ethereal and if one were dumb, they would even think of the knife as delicate.

But there was nothing delicate about the sharp chaotic aura it was releasing and the crazy billowing winds that carved grooves into the surrounding bricks.

Suddenly, the knife moved. But it barely moved 20 centimetres before it suddenly wobbled and dipped in altitude. This continued to happen as it flew and it was clear that flying was a new experience for it. But eventually it got the hang of it and the amount of times where it faltered were becoming far in between.

A minute later, it was starting to pick up speed when a 5 metre tall male giant entered its sight. The giant was a middle-aged man with a large scruffy beard and tattered clothes that smelled, he had shoes with gaping maws and bleary eyes that stared at the empty bottle in his hand. He was obviously homeless.

*Zuuuuuuumm…*

“Wha’s-that?” the homeless man groaned drunkenly when he heard the strange humming sound that was consistently growing in volume? However, when he looked around and saw the knife peacefully floating towards him, he threw his bottle to the ground in apparent rage.

“Fackin’ blimey! Diz fooking shit keeps making me ear and see staff! Fack!” said the homeless man with a reddening face as he roughed his hand through his dry hair and trudged off.

“All dat screaming and booming too… das a new one. Hiccup! Eeargh… What will I see next, gho-”

SHICK! Thud!

The homeless giant suddenly slumped to the ground with a knife buried within his skull. He didn’t even have time to resist before death had already claimed him. But perhaps, It could be considered a small mercy.

The knife, or to be more accurate the Creature of War, floated back into the air with blood and brain matter trickling down its blade. It was… an extremely ominous sight. However, the following sequence of events was even more terrifying.

Whoosh!

A colourless light abruptly rose from the giant's corpse and coalesced above the body, it then took on the form of the giant and seemed to be silently screaming as it was sucked into the knife like a ghost trapped by a magic bottle…

That… was his Soul! The giant's Soul had just been summoned and consumed by the Creature of War!

ZUUUUUUUMM…

The knife’s humming suddenly increased in intensity in tandem with the crimson glow as the chaotic aura and sharp winds that had oddly disappeared before, burst back into existence with atrocious force! The giant’s corpse was torn to pieces and the 2 opposing buildings that created the alleyway exploded.

BOOOM!

The knife itself grew a few centimetres and the semblance of a Soul seemed to have come out of nowhere, radiating a nefarious intent that seemed to desire more of what it had just consumed.

Clearly, it had grown in strength. But who would have thought that it had the ability to consume Souls!

ZUUUUUUUUUUM!!! WHOOOSH!

The Creature of War suddenly flew off into the distance with shocking speed, destroying the surroundings with its terrifying winds that had become thick enough to be visible, creating the terrifying sight of a knife surrounded by faint crimson winds that destroyed everything in its vicinity.

Shortly after, horrified screams could be heard before they were cut off one by one.

…

“Sorry Mortals, but such is life. Pray that you can be reincarnated into the Eridius World or something and all will be well” Eridel said flippantly as he gazed at the carnage that the Creature of War was conducting with a care-free expression. But then he turned his eyes towards the array of god statues and a grin adorned his face.

“Ignoring the god of space, these are the 3 gods that lead the [Simara Templars], the 3rd strongest faction in the Sigothia World. The god of fire, the goddess of light, and the goddess of swords. Unfortunately… they too, will have their hard-earned World stolen by me. Ah... what an evil bastard I am. Somebody please stop me before I go too far~” Eridel said as he covered his face with his palm, but it failed to cover the wide grin that peaked out of the edges.

“Pfft- Hahahaha! …Haa~ Well then...” Eridel said as he dropped his hand and turned his eyes to the 2 remaining eggs. “Shall we?”

[Eridius World, New Unknown Continent, Mountain Range in the Centre]

When the Eridius World evolved into a Mid-World, there were many new Continents that had formed in tandem with its growth. Some of them were originally giant islands that had explosively grown in size, but there were a few of them that had actually broken off from the 4 Main Continents (The Central Continent did not experience this).

And this Continent was one of them.
