The situation of Celestia had been chaotic after Ainz caused a scene in the outer realms.

Many gods were shocked by the power of the unknown god and plan to ally against him.

One palm almost decimated an entire realm; that's even more powerful than True Gods, reaching an unprecedented level of power to the gods.

With an Outer God as powerful as this amongst their ranks, the Outer Gods decide to invade Celestia and divide up the spoils, world laws.

Outer Gods are called Outer Gods because they are gods foreign to a realm. They could learn the laws of the universe, but world laws are something that could increase their comprehension towards the laws.

Once the gods invaded, it didn't matter if it was women or children, once a god moved, only bones remained.

In such an environment, evil gods thrive.

The power of Gods of Massacre, Death, and Misery started to grow, becoming a challenge for the gods of good. Some lucky gods experience a boost in strength making the rival True Gods, something unexpected.

It was quite strange, the peak strength of Dominion seemed insignificant when many people started to reach that level.

The gods of Celestia were constantly being pushed back, suffering defeat after defeat. Many gods died, causing the strength of the world to weaken.

Gods were said to be eternal beings that cannot be killed. Especially since their divine souls would be branded in the core of the world and protected. However, there are exceptions to everything.

It's true they are immortal but only to beings of the same level and below, anything above that would be a death sentence.

Not even the world was fast enough to grab a god's divine soul before it's destroyed.

The Outer Gods were surprised, they thought the Celestia would be more powerful but even in their weakened state outside their realms, the gods posed no threat to them.

[AN: Dominion:(Mortal World > Celestia > Abyss)]

Landmass changes, domains shattered. Creatures and beings that wanted to stay by themselves were forced into the meat grinder, making the war even more fierce.

In the beginning, the gods were only half-assedly fighting, however, things became heated when friends and love ones started to die.

The True Gods watch in terror as the skies change color and the earth shattered!

They could feel the world screaming in pain yet couldn't do anything. At the rate things were going, the world was bound to collapse.

The True Gods didn't have enough power to stop thousands of Celestia gods and another thousand of Outer Gods.

It was true they were powerful but even their powers have limits. Gods of Celestia were weak and easy to end but not Outer Gods. No one knows how powerful they really are, as even as weak as they are, they pose a significant threat.

It was in times of great catastrophe that heroes appeared and brought peace to an era. This era was no different; a hero appeared.

The hero was a man with an unknown origin and was shrouded in mystery. He had a head full of gray hair and eyes that are seen to be an empty void.

The moment he appeared, hundreds of gods died from his palms. Both Outer and Celestia gods.

The war stopped and the world went silent. It was like all meaning in the world disappeared.

The gods that died, to the horror of the gods, disappeared completely.

There was no divine imprint, statues; no final struggle at the gates of death, they simply faded away; even the memories of their existence wanted to fade as well.

The mysterious figure began to kill everyone indiscriminately. Each being he killed, his power seems to increase, becoming an even bigger threat.

In a blink of an eye, more gods perished and the figure ascended to True God level, terrifying everyone.

No gods dare to approach him; everywhere he looks, gods disperse. Dragons coiled and tigers crawled! It was like a monarch had appeared; surpassing even the dignity of the King of Gods!

This figure was without a doubt the 42 Supreme Being of Nazarick, Wu Tain, the Void Emperor.

He had been traveling the world after parting with Ainz, collecting resources; resources that had little to no effect on his cultivation speed.

If he had not been an Immortal Emperor in the past, and only require energy to return to his peak, Wu Tain dared say he would not reach his current strength so quickly as not only does one have to comprehend the dao and the skills of their current cultivation realm, one must also be careful of inner devils as they progress.

The gods of this world require a lot of resources to advance a level; he was even worse, requiring at least five times the previous level. But in return he had greater strength and a firmer cultivation base. If he doesn't fall halfway through, there is a greater chance he will surpass peak state.

Just reaching Immortal Emperor level again required him just as much resource he used when he cultivated in the past if not more.

Wu Tain had been cultivating the Nine Ascending Dragon Art, reaching the first level. That was his current limit; he couldn't improve without refining void energy which he happened to discover the gods could be converted to. Hence why he join the war.

In one attack; he killed hundreds of gods, frightening himself. No matter how powerful he thought he was, this was absurd. He had seen how powerful the gods were, even the weaker ones were equal to Immortal Kings and the strong one's Immortal Emperors.

To kill hundreds of Immortal Kings in a single attack was beyond the previous him. However today he killed them as easily as killing an ant; there was no effort.

Every creature he killed; would be absorbed into his Void Space to begin conversion to void energy. The process was ruthless and could be considered demonic cultivation by the orthodox sects.

However no one can judge him, no cultivators were here but him. Even if they were here; could they dare question him? They wouldn't dare, he had the potential to become an Immortal Sovereign after all.

The souls of the gods were absorbed by the Dao of Death removing any outside forces from it, before sending it to the Dao of Life, to create life.

Every god that was cleansed, the energy removed from them was absorbed by the space, perfecting the flaw Daos.

The space became bigger, reaching a freighting size before being compressed to that of a small island.

The hardness of the void space became dreadful. Not even an immortal King could destroy a boulder. At most they could move the dirt.

Seeing the changes in the Void Space, a bold idea appeared in his mind. What would happen if he absorbed Celestia, no, Dominion into his Void Space? He would not need to worry about void energy anytime soon, and he could rear the gods like animals for his needs.

To accomplish his goal, he would need to reach half a step Immortal Sovereign; to support such an action.

With this idea in mind, Wu Tain pondered what he should do. He couldn't absorb the world currently and could only wait. However, some things must be done.

He had to go to the Nazarick to secure his seat and guide the sect. The more time he dwindled, the more problems would appear in front of him.

The Nine Ascending Dragon Arts could solve his problem.

Immortal Emperor Eternal art allows one to conquer nine worlds and turn them into the nine revolving world meridians.

With meridians like these, no one could defeat him, not even Immortal Sovereigns.

Opening his hand, void energy escapes his hand and colasate. He had not cultivated the art yet so he attempted to place a marker on the world.

With the seal, no matter where he went, he could return instantly. When he cultivated art completion, he could change the laws of this world to make it easier for gods to appear, making his path easier by consuming them.

Everything seemed to take a long time but only a second passed, and Wu Tain vanished with a girl in one hand and a black orb in the other.

'Nazarick; don't disappoint me.'

Just like war was happening in Celestia, war was happening in the Mortal World; only on a smaller scale.

Many people had died as the gods invaded. Forces that no one thought existed, rose, and began to fight for dominance.

The God Slaying Clan, a clan of four, dominated a large territory; killing gods and beasts alike. Each member of the clan was a Demigod level God Slayer.

Since the reshuffling of the world, domains collapsed and changed meaning the world was unrecognizable as there were no domains, just free land.

The Dragon Monarch managed to secure a huge amount of land for his race; barely. If he had joined the war and met that unknown man, he would have died; and his race's future would be bleak.

The Holy Church's backbone shattered as their god died from an attack of the unknown man; causing the devoted worshippers to die.

Ironically, the Pope and Archbishops managed to escape with ease as they didn't suffer a backlash from their god's death.

The remaining members of the Holy Church met a gruesome fate at the hands of Soul Eater. They rose and became undead that would serve their enemies forever.

The entire world seems to be going crazy as factions and forces attack each other; destroying the semblance of order.

With all the dead bodies in the world now, even the bodies of gods, Soul Eater didn't harm any living creature upon getting their victory. They instead began to collect and resurrect the bodies to control their land firmly. Even a True God would be hard-pressed to enter much less escape unharmed.

Ironically, in the temple of the Holy Church dedicated to a good God, a statue of Ainz stood tall, absorbing the light in the temple, causing the once divine place to become a den of devils.

While all of this was happening, the True Gods remained indifferent; as they made up their minds to leave Dominion.

From observing the war, they realized staying in the Dominion would not bring any benefit to them. If anything, there is a chance they might die.

Take that man for example, he was a True God level existence, yet he was able to kill so many gods with a palm. If he had used all his energy, it's possible all the gods would be killed, making this world no longer a world of gods.

If that man fought them, even if they joined hands, they would be killed, it's just a matter of when.

With one last look at the world, the siblings of True Gods left, heading deeper into the universe, looking for opportunities.

Dominion seems to sign in grief watching them go; as a somber mood hits every being causing them to falter.

Dominion and them came into existence at the same time, it wouldn't be a stretch to say they were siblings.

The World would be considered the strict and stubborn older sibling, never listening to the nagging of its little brothers and sisters.
