Gods' Resurgence

Multiple expeditions had been sent to all the different sub dimensions that had been discovered, and by all the Racial Powers, as well as other influential powers.

Adam didn't know the exact amount of sub dimensions, but he knew there were many of them. But among all of those dimensions, there was one that caught his attention… no, the entire world's attention.

A sub dimension said to have two Racial Powers' worth of resources inside it, with only a few Heroes to watch over them. Obviously, every power in the world was interested in this sub dimension, and wanted to take it for themselves. It had been named… Providence.

Adam had already decided he would be going to Providence, and he would bring his Guild alongside with him. He didn't want them to be vulnerable here while he was there taking resources. Moreover, they would be able to help him.

When he received the news, Adam first thought about it for some time, before making his decision and ordering his entire Guild to move out. They would be going for that dimension. Coincidentally, it was close to the Azure Sky Kingdom so Adam was able to move his entire guild without much of a problem.

Soon, Adam was on the road, with an army of 40 000 fierce Silver Rank warriors behind him. His army was about as strong as a Kingdom's, which was quite impressive since they only trained for a month.

While he was on the road, feeling the strong wind that seemed to be pushing them forward, Adam couldn't help but sigh. While he was meditating on the Wind Concept, which was of the Advanced Rank, he mistakenly linked it with his other Concepts, and somehow turned it into the Sovereign Concept of Wind…

Others would be ecstatic, but Adam was depressed, he had so many Concepts to work on, and yet another had been added to the list by mistake.

But now that he had unlocked it, he had to admit it was quite good… No, it was awesome, and definitely the best for speed. The Sovereign Concept of Wind included multiple forms, like the other Elemental Concepts. There was Wind and Lightning. Although there were only two, they weren't to be underestimated.

Both were a symbol of speed, and devastating powers at the same time. A tornado would tear everything in it's path while lighting would obliterate it. Although he was unhappy with the increased work load, Adam had to admit he liked the powers of this concept.

Meanwhile, in another realm Yang Adam was cultivating inside his room, or rather inside the floor of the Blood Tower he had.

Since he had ranked up, two weeks went by already, and quite a lot happened. Not in his private life, he was cultivating all day, but on Earth.

For some reason, the gods had decided it was the right time for them to appear. No need to say this had thrown everything into disarray. And them fighting each other wasn't good either.

Somehow, while Adam was fighting for the human race in Epoch, braving countless dangers and going through pains greater than soul splitting… They were messing around.

The mess all started with a gaming event between the different Super Guilds. They invited the top players, including Adam of course, but he was too busy to even know he had been invited.

Anyway, the competition took place, and for one reason or another some guilds had a beef with each other, and a fight started… in the real world. They were all trained martial artists and fearsome cultivators so the damages were consequent.

But then it became worse. Zeus showed up in Egypt and threw a fricking lightning bolt at a pyramid. A day later, Venice dried up and locusts attacked the city.

At the same time, a gigantic ray of light hit Osaka, obliterating the city and killing more than two million people. It was said to be coming from 'God', as in the Christian God.

Again, the next day the West Coast of America was hit by a Tsunami caused by a Kamikaze, or Divine Wind, sent by Fujin. At the same time, an enormous thundercloud caused by Raijin ravaged many cities in the South of the USA.

Or the tragedy of Manchester, when a hammer landed in the city, creating an earthquake that shook the whole of England, and which was followed by lightning so powerful it ravaged the city. This obviously was Mjollnir, thrown by Thor.

In response, a gigantic sword appeared above Oslo, and innumerable sword light were launched at the city, killing many people once again.

And those were only some of the many incidents. The entire world was ravaged by attacks from the different gods, killing many people in the process. When he saw all of this, Adam couldn't help but feel powerless. They were killing so many people, and yet he was too weak to act against them.

Quickly after, the world was split in several regions which the Gods believed to be theirs, and even more chaos ensued.

Adam and his family were living in America, and this was now the territory of 'God', the God of Light worshipped by Christianity. After a few days, 'God', or Jehovah, even sent Archangel Michael to subdue him.

Unfortunately for them, they overestimated themselves. Although Adam was only as strong as a beginner Hero, that was considering they were S or SS Class. But those old gods and holy beings were all beings who lacked talent and rose only thanks to faith.

So even though Michael was at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm, Adam was able to send him and his angel followers away from New York. The only ones who could threaten him were the 'Gods', who were weak Golden Idols, and they wouldn't even be able to kill him even if they tried.

Anyway, Adam was quite disappointed with the 'gods' of Earth, who were nothing but tyrants who stayed in hiding for many years. Moreover, for now everyone was shocked and surprised by the events, but it wouldn't take long for the mortals to rise up, and for the governments to fight back.

In all of this, New York was standing out as one of the only cities that wasn't under the influence of gods. It would most certainly have many consequences, but for now people were too busy fearing for their lives. Other cities that were protected were the capital of the countries with nuclear weapons.

Since the beginning of this mess, Adam's brother, Matt, had made a little device to make sure nothing would happen to him or their parents. He created an alarm system that was connected to a device he and their parents each had, and the moment they encountered a problem they just had to activate it and they would activate the alarm in Adam's room.

Although Adam was almost all the time in the Blood Tower, his link to the tower allowed him to have a spirit sense over his entire room while he is in the tower, and so the moment it activates he would be able to know it and immediately track it to his parents.

Fortunately, for now they didn't have to use it, but that was mainly because they were forced to do some things.

For example, Matt had been forced to stop school while their parents lost their jobs. Well, it kind of happened to everyone, and that was another reason for the chaos. Now, people would mainly go out to buy food, and that was it. But even that was hard.

All in all, the situation on Earth was very bad, and thankfully no nuclear missiles had been launched yet. As powerful the Golden Idols were, nuclear weapons were still a threat. Even if they could protect themselves, the explosion would have many terrifying consequences on Earth, and turn it inhospitable. Although the explosion wouldn't kill them, the consequences would.

Even though Earth was Sofia's Divine Kingdom, it was a planet and if it was destroyed because of infighting, she wouldn't save them. So everything was tensed right now.

Before anyone gets offended, in this story the gods of Earth aren't perfect beings like they are portrayed in our world, but mortals who attained Legendary Power through faith. The gods that are teh closest to their counterparts would be the Roman/Greek ones as well as the North Gods who were fashioned to be more humanlike, flawed.
