The Path Of The Great Sovereign - Chapter 156
9 Years into the game there was an event to eliminate the Heteromorpic Races give by the Royalty of the Human and Demi-Human nations. Niflheim, Helheim, and Muspelheim were the three realms the Heteromorphic races lived on and they were the subject of conquest. Therefore the respective Champions of Each realm were given a quest to repel the invasion.
In Yggdrasil, there was a total player count of 1.9 Billion players worldwide. 387,132,866 were Heteromorpic Race, on Helheim Tatsuo sat in an open field near the bridge that connects the world of Helheim to the other worlds. Millions of Human and Demi-Human Players were arriving while Tatsuo sat in leisure and watched as they went deeper into the realm closing in on him.
Using Hel’s Blessing to project his voice Tatsuo spoke to the overzealous players.
“Humans, you dare set foot in Helheim!”
With that, he pulled out his bow and used the Skill , which was derived from the Archangel ability which fires an arrow into the heavens loaded with Holy energy creating an area beneficial to the party by providing buffs and debuffing enemies with negative Karma. Now it did the same effect but to those with positive karma.
After doing that Tatsuo buffed himself before using super tier magic of course the invading players attempted to bombard him with spells, arrows, skills, etc but Tatsuo cast the 10th tier magic Snow Globe which slows all projectiles, slows enemies, and damages them beforehand.

The Swampy undead region of hell Helheim they were currently in turned into a frozen paradise while the players turned into ice statues stunned for 10 seconds. Of course many too measures against it but what could a cleric with 100 or so intellect to do to counter a mage with 500 intellect? Absolutely nothing.
In turn, the Players had to wait until the timer for the stun ran out in order to counter but would Tatsuo allow such a thing? Of course not.

*Random Player POV*
All Human and demi-humans were given a quest to invade the realms of the Heteromorphic races, of course, many players already did that because there was no penalty for killing them while there was also a class you could get for killing enough.
The Quest for invading Niflheim and Muspelheim were both S ranked quests while the one for Helheim was Ranked EX which means Invading Helheim was nearly impossible. Many players didn’t believe that as the number of players in those two realms severely outnumbered the ones in Helheim. Yet the rewards for invading Helheim were too good to be true +50 to all Stats plus 24 World Items, so all the major guilds got together, set up an invasion force with NPCs and Players, then invaded.
With our sheer number, we thought it would be easy yet the quest still remained EX Rank no matter how many signed up for it, to be honest, we all thought it was a bug.
That was until we got here.
In a Swampy feild sat a single player all alone on a Throne made of Bones. A Crown made completely out of flames one-half black the other white rhythmically tapping on the armrest of his throne. He looked as if he was in deep contemplation then as we got closer he stopped his tapping and looked up at us with eyes of sheer disinterest before saying: “Humans, You dare set foot in Helheim!”
His voice was low but it sounded as if he was right next to us, we prepared ourselves due to this. As it was unthinkable that a Player could have the same presence as a Raid Boss yet here one was.
He waved his hand and the Tier 10 spell snow globe engulfed us all, The first thing that went through my mind is how much mana does he have to cast something that covered such a large area. The second thing, I felt this was extremely unusual yet worth the rating of EX if one player can hinder us like this then what about the rest on Helheim?
After that, he started casing Super Tier magic of course we all focused or attacks on him yet they were unable to even get close. First, they were slowed by the Spell Snow Globe and secondly there was an NPC moving casing a large protection field around him while also deflecting attacks.
He cast two spells back to back one debuffed us and the second stunned us for 10 seconds then finally we all heard the same thing at the same time.
[The BloodStalker has locked onto you.]
[You Have been executed.]
[You Have died.]
Never have I felt such a sense of helplessness and defeat in a video game. Helheim was not meant to be invaded, I lost 15 levels and the class I got from killing Heteromorpic players during this invasion.
