Under a blazing sun, a gigantic island known as Eden floated above the oceans and drifted as usual. This terrifying island is home to powerful beings known as monsters, and not just any monsters, but the most powerful and feared by humanity.
- Grrr...
As its roar echoed across the island, causing even the oceans below to tremble, an imposing dragon that seemed to be made of gold and was the size of a mountain rose up, dominating almost the entire island.
- What are you doing, Cirus? Show yourself.
As the imposing voice shook the heavens, the oceans seemed to stir for a moment as a giant turtle, even larger than the gargantuan island, with a snake-like tail emerged from the waters.
- My king, sorry to bother you, but I bring bad news.
The golden dragon took a deep breath and looked up to the heavens, then replied in a voice filled with dignity and nobility.
"I sense it, Cirus... Our species, the monsters, is on the brink of extinction. Only the strongest remain: myself, the divine dragon, my close guard, the four divine beasts, our descendants, and our people hidden in the four corners of the world. What has happened?
- An inferior race, humans, rose up and started a great war against us while you slept, without your command and our best warriors. We lost the war.
- To think that my people suffered because of a selfish desire to break through to the next level.
As the suzerain took a deep breath, he roared furiously as the world seemed to shatter under the effect of his power. It was then that various creatures, just as terrifying as he was, emerged from everywhere, ranging from manticores to giant tigers and even flying three-headed elephants. As all these creatures, each as terrifying as the next, gathered together strangely, they bowed respectfully before the golden giant.
- My people, I apologize for being absent for 200 years, but now I am back and I intend to avenge you! I have succeeded in my attempt to become a divine being and I intend to lead you to destroy humanity.
As all the beasts entered into a frenzy of madness upon hearing these words, the ruler silenced them with a wave of his hand and continued.
"Unfortunately, it seems that there is also a human who stands on the same level as me in this world. Even though I am sure of victory, I would like to avoid further losses by attacking them directly. So gather yourselves, we will prepare for war by going to see our brothers.
In a spectacle as beautiful as it was terrifying, these creatures representing their races on this planet gathered alongside the golden dragon, who with a fatal roar tore the veil of reality, opening a breach to another planet, and took his people away to prepare for the war that would spell the end of humanity.
After they all left through the breach, leaving only the divine dragon behind, he turned to the void in front of him.
"I hope for your sake that you will take responsibility for the stupidity of your species, for I intend to avenge my own, and you are but a pebble in my path."
As silence reigned despite what the dragon said, he swung his tail like a club, and it seemed to bounce off a glass wall.
"To think that you saw me, you have truly reached the divine level."
An old, pale, wrinkled woman with ebony skin appeared floating in the air, her reddish eyes burning with a violet glow.
"Always playing dirty, humans will never learn. You are slightly stronger than me, but in a one-on-one fight, I would defeat you."
" Oh, really? Want to test that, big lizard?
- Wait until I come back with my people, and you'll see.
said the dragon before disappearing into the breach, which closed immediately.
- I think we're in deep shit, and bad shit at that.
sighed the old woman, sweating as she coughed violently up blood.
