In the Enormous, which is home to several races, each with unique abilities that differentiate them from others.


    But separating these races into categories to decide which zone they should belong to, was it just based on a particr race?


    Mostly, it was done based on physical appearance and its simrities, which was also controversial since vampires'' appearance would indirectly ce them in the Human Zone.


    This created thew ofpatibility or mutual eptance, meaning if a continent leading top at that particr zone approved any other middle ones to submerge in that zone and was epted by that continent, then they would be dered under that particr zone.


    There were some unspoken rules about each zone, like they can''t attack each other without valid reason. If any other zone''s race tried to attack them, then the top 3 continents of that zone hadplete authority to wage war against the assants.


    There were some more, but these two were majorly followed.


    Very few instances ur when these unspoken rules are broken. Though holding power did give individuals the ability to ignore suchws, which was true for irs from the Devereaux family, belonging to the strongest continent in the Human Zone.


    Approximately a century ago, more urately 98 years ago, they broke thisw byunching an all-out attack with Titanora, the small continent belonging to a race known for their inborn physical ability to utilize 96% of surrounding mana into physical strength.


    Normally, a human could only synthesize 76% of surrounding mana, with the remaining percentage wasted, making the whole utilization process harder for them and making the Dariants—race which possess this ability—widely known for their physical strength.


    Once ranked fourth, now reced by the newly risen continent known by the name Heindal, Titanora was in the fifth position.


    Never once was a race, on the brink of reaching the top three, imagined to fall in rankings by facing a devastating battle against their own Zone member.


    98 years ago, after Patriarch ir killed one of the Dariants for going against them, he dered war on the whole race. Suddenly pitted against one of the world''s strongest armies, the Dariants were cornered.


    There is a saying: Ants can defeat Elephants, Rats can overrun Cats, and even Buffaloes can kill the tiger. Let alone all this, with added momentum, a 2 mm metal piece can bring down anything.


    It''s a simple line that motivated individuals to never back away from danger and have faith in themselves.


    But it was only true for animals or non-living things, not for humans who possessed intelligence and shrewdness far greater than simple working machines, like animals or a simple bullet.


    A total of 12,000 Early Phase II warriors, ranks below APEX, were killed while fighting against 10 people, among whom 6 were at the Perfect Middle ranks of Epic and 4 were at Early Perfect Legendary ranks.


    The battle was devastating, marking a moment of despair etched in the history of Titanora.


    Sacrificing all its military power, they were able to kill all the EPIC ones and 2 Legendary ones, leaving behind Patriarch ir and her daughter, who were leading the front while killing many civilians.


    Yes, the count of 12,000 was the number of veterans who died.


    Due to the hierarchy of power here, the lives of normal individuals falling under Early Phase I were not included, which crossed half a million.


    It seemed there was still some mercy left in the heart of Demoness ir—daughter of Patriarch ir—who, after killing so many normal individuals, decided to withdraw.


    It was a relief until three years ago, ir''s ship, which was clearing the path for the gbearer battle soon to start in a year, by dominating small or middle-level continents to gather information first if any other rival gbearer arrived in theirnd, collided with someone.


    Three battleship fleets, filled with several cannons and warriors of APEX and lower ranks in Imperfect stage, along with their leader Patriarch ir, who was at the Early Perfect Legendary Rank, were killed in a single day.


    The one who did it imed herself as the daughter of the man who was killed at the hands of the irs a century ago.


    With this, she offended the whole Devereaux Family, and it was the end of Titanora with that.


    At least, it was what everyone expected, but it seemed luck was still on the Dariants'' side.


    Divided into fragmented divisions known as kingdoms, Titanora was mostly ruled by strong individuals instead of a separate king. Hierarchy was based on the strongest individual.


    Right now, the strongest kingdom was at the center of this vast expanse. There was still an impact left from the previous battle, resulting in broken architectures and ruins all over the borders of Titanora.


    Meaning, and of 1 million square miles, smaller inndmass yet once strong enough to hold the potential for getting into the Top 3 rankings, was now mostly ruins.


    When strong individuals fight with the intent of annihtion, their impacts causendslides, tsunamis, and earthquakes due to them not controlling their strength like they always do.


    Except for the Kingdom at the heart of Titanora, every other kingdom was suffering from food shortages, intion, and crimes.


    Inside the airspace of this whole expanse, which was calmer with an echoing memory of once a battle filling the whole sky, a sharp sound resonated, tearing through the air and the hearts of natives of thisnd.


    SKREEEEEEEEE!


    WHRRRRRRR!


    A sharp sound of five colossal battleships, glimmering in only ck exterior, filled the airspace with engine sounds reaching the individuals beneath them.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    The first thing that should arise in the hearts of natives should be trauma from the previous experience, right?


    No.


    It was rage.


    .....


    Bzzzzzzzzzz!


    :: HOW DARE YOU AGAIN INFILTRATE OUR AIRSPACE, DEVEREAUX FAMILY IS CROSSING THEIR LINE NOW ::


    A sound reverberated inside the main control room of one of the ships moving in front.


    ''So, this is Titanora,'' Ryuk''s eyes looked down from a huge mirror window which was ck from the outside but clear from within, gazing at the vastnd spanning with several ruins on the ground which seemed to appear like ancient ruins, with broken architectures and trees growing here and there.


    But his eyes were not on the scenery but fixed on individuals standing on the ground—men, women, children—looking back at the battleships with clenched jaws, visible teeth, and rage in their eyes, evident from the redness within them.


    Their features were mostly the same as humans except for the two horns which seemed made of crystal of different colors depending on each individual, adorning them.


    Their physical bodies did not seem strength-oriented; instead, they were very thin and delicate for both men and women.


    Narrowing his gaze since he didn''t feel anyone above APEX Rank on the whole continent, he turned his gaze towards the womanzily sitting on a throne specially prepared for her. He inquired, "Lady Drishti, there isn''t anyone who seems stronger—"


    "Slow down the ship. We''ve reached the ce," Drishti stood from her seat, moving forward towards the young man who was interrupted in the middle. Turning towards him, she added, "Prepare yourself. I am throwing you out of this ship."


    "Huh?"
