Overgod Of Yggdrasil - 13 Preparation for an invasion

“Now, it’s time to begin, the harvest of worlds!” A decisive voice thundered through the void, proclaiming its verdict. The voice was determined and cold as if nothing can halt its expedition!

Thereafter finishing his date with Gaia, Lain returned alone his world, the Golden Nation, beginning the foundation of his scheme. It had taken him a few months but the plan was almost completed. His plan was simple and direct, but it needed to be formulated in a thoughtful manner. No matter how great one’s force was, if it was not utilized in an efficient manner, it would fall. An army of any kind is only as strong as its weakest link. A true strong army could have hundreds of weak individuals, but if the strong can complement that aspect then army becomes strongest!!

As a result of his determination to not fail his family and especially himself, Lain decided to go to his room, as he would have more privacy. The throne might be indestructible but it wasn’t safe from intruders.

Lain was sitting at the end of the bed, a huge bed, wearing black sweatpants with his feet submerged in water. The reason for all of this was because Lain’s room was a small ocean world that had fish that look like miniature dragons swimming freely in it. Because he was only wearing black sweatpants, the rest of his body was exposed, showing off his well-toned and built body. At the edge of the ocean world, four white pillars stood as if to support this room. Between the pillars was a white void that seems to lead to nowhere and everywhere.

Inside this room, Lain was completely safe from anything, because this room was the White Void, a place that is separate from the World Tree, even if someone conquers the tree, they couldn’t conquer this place as it was as special as a Transcendent Class Item while not being one.

The White Void was something he spent many years of real-time working on, which was also one of the reasons he didn’t adventure throughout the World Tree. The reason an item is called Transcendent is because it totally surpasses World-Class items in the fact it has three special abilities.

The first abilities is its name and state of the room, White Void, which separates it from all things, nothing can affect it. The second is Rapture Void, which connects two places to the White Void, and have total authority on what to do. The last is also the most important, and the reason he created the White Void in the first place, Wish Void.(An: yes I’m going down the isakai route, maybe at the end of the book?) Wish Void allows the owner of White Void to grant almost any wish. If the wish exceeds the scope of the Wish Void, a trade must be initiated to accomplish the wish. The main reason he created the World Void was that he was influenced by the old era relics, isekai light novels and since he had an opportunity to create a small dream of his, why not?

Lain had already decided on a couple of things he wanted for his invasion. Firstly, he decided to draft the people of the Divine Continent into his army, which he hopes will consist of elites. His decision was not made rashly, as he did his research upon what they wanted; which is what he learned. They felt insignificant and unworthy of living in the Supreme Emperors home without doing anything to show their gratitude. Since he was aware of their feelings, he was calm as he made his decision, even if many will die because of it.

Leave the sharpest blade in one place long enough and it will collect dust. A force that doesn’t regularly train was only a ragtag group of people.

Those profound words made him harden his heart and send them to hopefully not so gruesome death. Many will die to make the remainder to become elites; this is something he can but will not change. If you call me the Supreme God, you should expect me to create a Supreme Army as well.

The beings of Divine Continent were naturally stronger than the main force of other worlds because of their high levels, which had to do with the fact, they were living inside the Supreme Emperor’s world.

Although there might only be a few Divine Clansmen, each of them could kill a hundred Imperial Earths Soldiers, without a single sweat, which is saying something as the million-strong soldiers of Earth, were at the very least Heros.

Because he wanted a diverse army, he sent word of the Supreme God creating a legend army called ‘conquest’, which is to have a million-strong at all times throughout the World Tree causing waves. This army will only listen to him and no one else. This army will also be given a rare opportunity to reside on the Divine Continent, a place of the ‘mortal’ world closer to God.

Although Lain had the mindset that even a weak person could become a core piece inside an army, currently he only desires power, and that’s all he needed. Having a maximum of a million strong soldiers is good since he could always replace the weaker ones with new blood, which will cause a positive competitive spirit to emerge in the army.

The thing that made Lain take so many months to cement his plan was because of who to bring with him, amongst his family.(AN: it should be obvious at this point the True World Gods are only his family members who are gods, everyone else is a True God or a powerful True God equal to a True World God, it’s a class of its own.)

This was harder than it looks and involved the entire World Tree. He didn’t want to make a mistake and leave his home undefended so he had to be careful, while is why he only brought a few of his family members leaving behind all the other True Gods as the protectors of worlds. In the end, he chose Yama, Raul, and Riana, as they had more impact on war than the others.

In a battlefield having someone like Raul was a must because he was a Battle God, whose power was unrivalled by those of the same level. In tight places with a lot of enemies, a warrior like Raul’s value surpassed that of a mage of the same level. Unfortunately, Lain didn’t add Raul because he wanted him to advance In battle but to protect Yama and Riana, as they were the main focus of the army.

Yama is an army by himself, as the more he kills the stronger his unlimited amount of undead becomes, as they gain more numbers. He was truly a God of Death. Yama had the role of a second in command, after him. Lain wanted Yama or someone, to have control over the army in case he couldn’t be there to give orders. He chose Yama because he was the smartest of his children, and even him by a bit.

Raina’s value was actually greater than that of her brothers since she could use holy and divine magic, which has a big impact on a army. She could heal and cast buffs that even he couldn’t cast making her a very important part of ‘Conquest’. With her around, his million-strong army would equal to a least three times their number, because it would be harder for the soldiers to die. As soon as they were on the brink of death, they would be healed, gaining a second life.

As for why he didn’t consider Lucifer and Gaia, it was because of many things that many wouldn’t notice. After Lain learned about the ‘divine authorities’ he made it that he knew all of the current divine authorities, so he knows the pros and doesn’t of all of them. He knew Lucifer was a ticking time bomb that could go off and cause a massive amounts of deaths on their sides. The more evil or prideful people he was around, the more uncontrollable he becomes even though he was supposed to be the prince of pride, the ultimate evil.

Gaia was an even more obvious problem, if someone knew Lain when he was back home. Gaia was the personification of nature meaning other than her vast amount of nature-related skills, she possesses enough power to be called nature’s wrath, when she becomes angry, making her surpass level 100, ah no, True World God level to an unknown height. Of course, having a strong allie was a good thing, however, when the allie cannot control their power, it becomes a curse. And to top it off, the thing he set as Gaia trigger was the death of many lifeforms. She wouldn’t care if one killed a thousand people but if it reaches the stage of genocide, she would destroy you to protect her ‘children.’ Still, he could still bring her as he could subdue her with a single strand of his hair, he just didn’t have time to think about dealing with such a problem when he so much to think about.

After that was the final segment, equipping the army with powerful weapons from Treasure Hall a vast treasury that contained many things from money to weapons, the amount was vast beyond belief. He wanted to equip his children with World Class Items, however, he only has one, a weak one, call Odin’s Forgiveness.

This is a World-Class item he won after killing a Frost Lord in their world. Apparently Odin had given them forgiveness after they attack Asgard, but because of numerous occurrence of them spitting in Odin’s face, Odin Forgiveness was born. It can trap someone inside a dimension that had no limits. For them to leave they must repent or find one of the three exist that move randomly. Ironically, Odin Forgiveness upon birth took the form of a rectangular moon that has influence on Frost type creatures. If they fall into Odin Forgiveness they will have their power lower by ten percent, and the similar trap prisoners attack them to gain a temporary taste of freedom.

Because of the lack of World Class Items, Lain had only one choice, equipping his family and army with the next best thing, Divine Class Items. He only has a few pieces of Divine Class Items, but that wasn’t a problem since he was a Divine Craftsmen and he has many materials to work with.

Lain got dress and teleported towards the Treasure Hall. After solving the teleportation rule, he was easily able to teleport, however, he could sense that the Void Serpent was upset but endure since Lain had made his decision.

Since the Void Serpent was angry, Laun decided that the worlds he conquered in the future will have stronger rules, only allowing DemiGods and above to travel. However by that time, the DemiGods will be force to ascend, so them having the ability to teleport was useless. This was because Lain was not sure he will earn the loyalty of the conquered, so he will only removed the teleportation rule after millions of years, when the ones who were aware that they were conquered died off.

While he thought about those things, Lain didn’t care if rebellions emerge in the World Tree as he has his family to govern their worlds. If an outside world after being conquered rebel, he will kill every single one of them, before rebuilding the world from the ground up!!

Lain knew he had started to change to become a war hardened and severe person who did not value lives, because his race is the Chaos Titan the lord of all things. He must stand at the top no matter what, even if he had to kill off many races to do so.

The change was slight but not noticable, he didn’t care as his family will still be his family when the change is completed. All that would change was his acceptance of himself as the Supreme God of everything. Maybe he will use his rule creator to change it, making it disappeared, however Lain decided he can not be half of something, when he could be more.

Lain approach the Treasure Hall as an aura of supreme excellent radiated off him, making the place behind him twist and vanish before appearing again. Lain didn’t know of this so he continued on unhindered.

The Divine Continent was the same as usual, bright, even when there wasn’t a sun. The land was under huge pressure that causes many things to be tougher and stronger than their cuisine in different worlds.

Today was a regular day for the Divine Clansmen, as they move like soulless puppets, as they do their jobs. They would sign as they look at the skies before shaking their heads, continuing their duties.

The children was no exception to this rule, even if they were innocent. At the end of the day, the Divine City was made up of many large creatures that were battle-hardened warriors by birth. So having them do things outside of their field was boring and unmotivating.

As if someone had heard their silent prayers, the clouds that were eternally present in the skies, parted, as golden light descended from it, bathing the entire continent golden. All the Divine Clansmen upon bathing in the golden light became calm and respectful as they drop to their knees.

When the last Divine Classmen dropped to his knees, a powerful voice that seems to be close but far was heard, even if one was deaf, ” I the Supreme God, the Supreme Emperor, whatever you wish to call me, have decided upon created a legion that listens only to me; I’m wishing for the strong will and powerful individuals to fill its ranks. This army will only have a million soldiers, no more no less. For those willing to join, go to the [Gates] that shall open above your world.” The powerful voice faded away, causing the golden light to return behind the clouds, and disappeared as the gap in the clouds, faded away.

After everything returns to normal, the Divine Classmen stood up, shaking with excitement and eagerness. After all this time, finally, they would awaken their sleeping blood and become the warriors they were destined to be.

The Divine City became busy like never before as people were running all around as they get all their equipment and important things ready to depart at any moment.

While the kids were jealous of their parents, elders, and guardians, they humbly stay behind with the older members of the city, going and coming back from school as usual.

The children didn’t know from their parent’s point of view, they were the seed of their civilization, even if they died in battle, at the very least they knew their children will continue their races.

They can die but their race can’t.

Walking in the hallways, Lain stopped before a large black door which was as impressive as the throne room door, but very dark. The black door had many bulges, that made it seem something inside was trying to escape, by punching through the doors. Of course, the door only looks like that because of Lain’s ideas and thoughts on how to plant a seed of doubt and suspension in the hearts of the invaders of this place.

Lain places his hands on the door, pouring a large amount of strength in it, as he pushed the door open. It might seem easy but it wasn’t, a full party had to work together to open the door, as it requires a massive amount of strength to open.

As the door creaked opened, a creepy creaking could be heard, sending a shiver down anyone’s spine. From the opened door, massive amount of black smoke came from it, making the temperature drop and light to disappears as if one had arrived in the cold void darkness.

Lain was calm since nothing less than a Transcendent Class Item couldn’t hurt him, however, while magic could, they must reach at least Super Tier level. He found this quite weird since his strength couldn’t be stopped by even a World-Class Item, which was more powerful than a Super Tier spell, but Super Tier spells could injure him?

Lain walked into the totally pitch black room, calmly as ever, as he could see everything like it was day. As he walked into the room, he was greeted by the guard of the Treasure Hall door, a woman wearing a black robe that partially covers a partI her face. In the woman’s had was a brush that shone with even darker light than the room, as even his eyes couldn’t pierce through it.

Lain knew who this big breasted woman was since he had created her to protect a pathway towards the Treasure Hall. Her name is Ainise, a max level vampire NPC, who was like a typical vampire. For example, while a regular vampire was dead or undead, she was a living being, but had all the powers of a vampire, making her unique.

Since Lain had seen the Ainise, obviously she saw him as well, so she dropped to her knees, bowing her head at the same time, “I, Ainise, the Goddess of Darkness and Night, am honored by your presence my Lord.” As she spoke, she subconsciously push her breast out, causing them to jiggle a little.

Lain raised an eyebrow at the display, as he breast has even surpass that of Gaia. He really had the urge to grab and fondle them, however, he was the Supreme God, not a pervert this he replied, “You did a good job Anise, later i shall reward you but now I need to finish some business, so I must go.” Lain walk past Ainise calmly as he approached the second and last gate before truly entering the Treasure Hall, however before that, he stops and returns to the still kneeling Anise side. He kneels in front of her and looks deeply into her eyes, seeing desire, fear, and worry before a faint hint of anticipation emerges, before disappearing from her red eyes.

The reason he had stopped was that his body forced him to, his body desire this woman, thus he obeyed and leaned in to kiss her on the lips, making her quiver like a cat in heat. She was hesitant at first but she started to respond and wrap her hands around his neck as the sound of tongue smacking against each other was heard.

Lain broke their kiss with some reluctance, because seeing the rosy cheeks of Anise, and lust in her eyes. Lain fondly her chin before, tracing her jawline, which was sharp and pointed before whispering into her ears, making her breath hard “You belong to me from now on, however, since this was rush a bit, I will give you some time to adjust to being my woman. From now on, you are free to leave this place.” Lain said as he stood up, walking a bit, before pushing open the Treasure Halls door, which was goldenopen.

From behind the door, golden light was emitting, blinding Lain for a moment.
