Thirty-seven sh.i.p.s were floating in the sky near the Catastrophe rank prison in the Third Warden's territory. Aside from the army in the sky, the two generals also brought countless soldiers on the ground.

The sh.i.p.s were larger than usual as one ship has a diameter of 700 meters. It was huge and was armed with hundreds of heavy cannons. The sh.i.p.s were connected to each other so they could talk to the people on the other sh.i.p.s.​​

It could house more than 50,000 troops at the same time. It was equipped with a dimensional gate device that could travel to any world as long as they had coordinates. It could also fly through space and manually go to another world but that would take a lot of time as this ship couldn't move at light speed.

It was an all-around ship. It could go 10,000 meters below the water surface and swim through lava. These were the sh.i.p.s that they used to plunder the resources from another world that wasn't habitable. They once used these types of sh.i.p.s to descend on a world which was full of helium and methane.

The Great Astley Empire called these sh.i.p.s the Mega Type B1-O ship. Also called as Mother. It was made using science and magecraft.

Thirty-seven Mother sh.i.p.s were approaching the prison. This wasn't their full force. The forces of each warden haven't arrived yet.

Looking at the approaching army, Souta felt like it was the mechanic army. The only difference was that these sh.i.p.s weren't powered by a monster orb or an artificial monster orb that they created. Also, the soldiers of the Great Astley Empire weren't wearing power suits, unlike the mechanic army.

"I'm going to take over this world."

A grin appeared on Souta's face as he slowly raised his hand. Best feram slowly seeped out of his body as he used the [Shadow Bind] spell.

Since his energy changed into best feram his spell grew stronger just like when he used a monster potion.

The whole building beneath Souta's feet turned into black. It spread out into the whole prison as hundreds of large tentacles rose. The black tentacles quickly crushed the guards everywhere.

Bang! Bang!

They couldn't fight back at all as their power levels were just D-rank. The strongest among them, the B-rank was personally killed by Souta.

"Argh!!"

"What is this?!"

"Help!!"

"Damn! Damn! No!!!"

Screams of the guards sounded in every direction as the tentacles crushed their bodies. Blood splattered and their organs burst out of their bodies.

The exp he got from killing D-rank was too little for him. Even if he killed tens of thousands of D-rank it wouldn't be enough for him to level up. It's a different matter if they were C-rank especially B-rank. The exp that he would receive from killing B-rank was several times higher than C-rank.

He already killed more than fifty thousand D-ranks of the Great Astley Empire and that only filled up half of his exp bar when he was level 37, and now that he was level 40 D-rank wouldn't be enough for him. He needed C-rank or B-rank. If it's not enough, a high-level quest.

"This is..."

Although the dragon already heard from Souta that he could use it, it was still shocking to see it in person.

"We're going to destroy the army of the Great Astley Empire! It's a war!"

Souta's smile grew wider as he looked at the incoming sh.i.p.s. He turned to Franklin, Torkez, and the dragon before he said, "Let me show you something you haven't seen in your entire life."

Before the three could say something, Souta already left towards the flying sh.i.p.s.

Swoosh!

Torkez and Franklin looked at each other.

"What are we going to do now?"

"Let's watch Souta while waiting for the antidote. I wanted to fight too but this poison is bothering me. I couldn't use mana at all."

"Yeah, at our current condition. A single commander would be enough to wipe us."

...

Souta stopped two hundred meters away from the thirty-seven sh.i.p.s of the Great Astley Empire.

The two generals looked at the commanders and said,

"Prepare yourself. This guy can use dragon energy too. I didn't expect it but we'll use everything from the start to fight him."

"Understood!!"

The commanders said at the same time with a serious expression. The threat of their opponent grew larger the moment they realized that he could use dragon energy. They were stunned at this realization. A tsunami was roaring in their mind.

How could they defeat this person and the bear on the ground who could use dragon energy?

"That's why we have to capture one of them alive to know the reason why they could use the dragon energy. Maybe, we could also use it after the experiments."

General Asimon said while looking at Souta with tightly knitted brows.

General Albert glanced at him and said, "The forces of the wardens will arrive in just a few minutes. Each one of them brought fifteen sh.i.p.s. So a total of one hundred and eighty Mother Sh.i.p.s are arriving."

One hundred eighty plus thirty-seven was equal to two hundred seventeen Mother Sh.i.p.s. Each ship had more than fifty thousand troops so our forces are enough to slay two dragons at the same time.

Well, they were talking about the third stage dragon, not a fourth stage dragon. If a fourth-stage dragon appeared here then their forces wouldn't be enough to bring it down. No, they don't have enough firepower to pierced its defenses so even if a fourth stage dragon was sleeping they wouldn't be able to kill it.

Of course, the wardens didn't bring their forces. They left half of their forces in their territory to guard it.

Souta looked at them and said, "If you're not going to come at me then I will..."

He moved his hand and nine of out ten black balls behind him followed his hand.

Swoosh!

The nine black balls flew a hundred fifty meters above Souta.

His evolution not just upgraded his stats but he also gained several abilities, his traits. Aside from that, his spells grew stronger because of the higher energy source that he had. Just like the [Shadow Bind] spell, the [Gravitational Spell] grew stronger too even though its level didn't rose.

This spell now had the power of a true tier 3 spell. A forbidden spell that was banned in many sub-worlds under the forces of the Great World Imperium.

"Rejoice, all of you will experience the true power of the forbidden spell..."

Souta said as he slowly raised his hand. His energy was slowly seeping out of his body and it was followed by the shaking of the ground.

Boom!

The ground shook heavily and cracks appeared everywhere. It was as if they were experiencing a huge earthquake that could destroy a city.

"What is he trying to do?" Torkez narrowed his eyes as he looked at Souta.

"I don't know." Franklin shrugged his shoulder while looking around. The earthquake continued and the cracks grew larger and larger.

Then, everyone could believe their eyes by what they saw.

"Just what the hell is that?!"

Clang! Clang!

The ground troops of the Great Astley Empire turned pale as their weapons fell on the ground causing a loud metallic sound. Even the troops on the sh.i.p.s lost their calmness. Fear started to seep into their hearts when they saw it.

"How could this be?!"

"Is this a god...?"

The generals and the commanders looked over with wide eyes and their mouth was opened widely.

The thing in front of them was simply shocking. A whole catastrophe rank prison was now floating above Souta. It was enormous that they felt that thing enclosed the whole sun.

Shadows covered the entire fleet of the empire.

The catastrophe rank prison was gigantic, huge, enormous, and humongous. Even the main building alone was already 500 meters tall. Yet, the whole prison was floating in the sky.

"This is not enough..."

Souta said as he closed his palm tightly. The black balls spread out and a huge wave of best feram exploded out of his body.

Boom!

Gigantic boulders of rocks half of the prison's size rose from the ground. It was still large even though it only has half of the prison's size. The number of boulders surpassed the number of sh.i.p.s.

"Settle down..."

The boulders stopped moving along with the prison. It felt like he had stopped the time but in fact, he was just controlling those enormous things.

This is the true power of the [Gravitational Ball] spell in sub-world. It could really wipe out an entire country. Also, Souta hasn't even poured his energy to the limit of the magic circle so this spell could grow stronger.

"Now, let's start the massacre..."
