"Just 30 minutes should be enough." He said to himself as he rushed forward.
That should be enough time for the army to get a foothold in the dungeon.
Meanwhile, he is to face the hordes of angels. It wasn't a chore for him. He had a smile on his face as he decimated every attack sent into the tunnel. He was like a little giant. Even his very steps created shockwaves that destabilise the enemy.
Things were not like the first time he entered the dungeon. They couldn't anticipate him this time around. One moment they are matching into the tunnel in an imposing manner, the next moment something slammed into them and then they feel nothing.
His attacks ripped through them and their defenses. His mind-boggling speed made him evade most of their attacks and the barriers around him protected him from the stray ones. His heavy armor was not seeing much work. It was only there to increase his weight and his momentum. It gives him a little boost that makes him hit harder and run faster.
The angels finally gave up after two attempts to reclaim the tunnel failed. They didn't respond no matter how much Soverick taunted them. Soverick raised his head to the sky of the divine blue sky of the divine dungeon. Then he grinned and said. "I can see you."
He shrugged when he didn't receive any response. and returned to the tunnel. He was sure he was being watched, he had felt numerous gazes on him.
"That sucks. It wasn't even 5 minutes. What do I do now?"
The army had given up too early. Still, the earlier fights were not in vain. He had acquired a large amount of energy in his body. This energy was gotten from his slain enemies.
Soverick rubbed his hands in anticipation. "I might as well build my second gate."
Few things can make him happy or show emotions. The thrill of battle and growing stronger are the two most important ones. It is better when he can have the two of them at once by grinding in this divine dungeon.
Within the Final Floor of the Divine Dungeon. Before Soverick began his rampage.
King Ode and the remaining celestials were having a small dinner party. They were chatting happily. Things have been good. The gods had been angry at the abrupt changes to their way of life at first, but they changed their minds and settled into their new life. It helped that they didn't have a choice. They couldn't even fall anymore. You can't fall from ground zero unless you lose your life too.
The gods had peace, they had their life and they had a future. It is a good future too. Their defense was almost perfect. Ode had used his former authority to set up the first stage of the divine dungeon. He had the utmost confidence in his various plans to withstand whatever the main plane could throw at them. He isn't the god of battles for nothing.
The gods just had to wait for the one that will set them free. What's not to like? So they settled in. The celestial gods were chatting and having a nice time. They hadn't received any attack in months and the attacks that came before had been foiled easily.
The absence of action on the part of the main plane for so long made King Ode feel uneasy. The main plane had sent attacks soon after he had activated the divine dungeon. But then they stopped all of a sudden. Could the main plane have given up? He would swallow his shoe rather than believe that. He knows that the first thing any army will do before they attack with their full force is to gather information. Then they plan and execute their plans.
Was the main plane planning now? If so, how could they have gotten any information about the divine dungeon? The last day's protocol was a secret known only to the supreme god. It was a knowledge that only one person could know at a time.
Considering the secrecy of the matter, its abrupt execution, and the different preventive measures he put in place, there should be no way for the main plane to gather information about the divine dungeon.
The earlier attempts of the main plane were foiled easily and he had made sure to separate the divine dungeon from the main plane with that portal as the only connection between them.
According to his understanding, there is no way for the main plane to sneak in or interfere with the workings of the divine plane. It is why they can't connect their communication devices to the main net of the plane. He was also sure that that terrifying Origin god of destruction will be helpless against the divine dungeon or why else hasn't he done anything?
Everything seemed to be going in the favor of the gods except he couldn't be at ease knowing who their enemies are. Could the racial council lose? Yes, but highly unlikely. But they wouldn't give up without a fight.
'So what are they cooking up?' he asked himself.
Ode had faith in all his preventive methods but he knew that the forces of the plane are unfathomable. The powers and abilities of the sages are inconceivable. But why were they scouting if they have information? Why would they even allow the divine plane to transform into the divine dungeon if they knew his plan? They could have stormed the divine plane and ended it all. So what is he missing?
Then the dungeon core flashed and blared an alarm. An invader was coming and it was one that isn't favorable to the fate of the gods. There would be no special treatment allowed for this invader.
"We have an attacker? About time. Let's watch the failure. It's short but epic. It is nice to see the little shits explode into gore." A celestial said in excitement.
