Side Chapter: Jograkog's Awakening and Zubekh's Schemes!

-----

Within the depths of the jungles, lakes, and swamps of the Dark Steppes, a divine entity overflowed the place with corrosive and mutating miasma, covering everything with darkness and monstrosities.

The ground turned purple and red, the plants became all monstrous creatures, with protruding tentacles, eyes, and large jaws filled with razor-sharp teeth, even the tiny plants around and the fungi became monstrous creatures, and if that ever happened to normal plant life, the monsters that existed before all of this had turned into even more dangerous creatures, roaming in large groups, looking for prey while destroying anything on their way.

Whatever was left of the tribes that once lived in here was now turned all into ruins, the ground covered in their blood and guts, while the survivors gathered inside a large divine barrier created by every God that inhabited the Dark Steppes.
