Darius Supreme

[Dragon Ancestor's Lance of Destruction - Unique Weapon (Lv. 27)

Durability: 3,610,000/3,610,000

Quality: Perfect

Damage: 38,600-42,600

Description: A one of its kind spear that has never existed in the history of Faust. It is made from the broken shaft of the Dragonlance, Holy Gold, and a little bit of Mithril, God's Steel and Soul Essence. During its creating, it was mixed with Lunar Dew and the heart blood of the Ancestor Dragon, granting it Supreme might and a sentient spirit that can grow the weapon's power endlessly as long as it is wielded by someone worthy.]

The lance had upgraded by one level and had jumped in power again. Darius held it up with a look and satisfaction and felt pleased that this emperor could provide so much power.

The depth of his energy far surpassed the average grandmaster, as he had been lavished with the best resources on Fallon all his life. None of the Grandmaster monsters even in the Safemoon Dungeon could compare to this.

Soon Commander Maverick came to report to Darius that the subjugation was done and the army could move on. That was one thing about Safemoon's army that was the most fearsome, and it was their mobility coupled with lack of logistics.

They could taken down one place and then casually roll over another in a matter of hours, not even giving the next city time to prepare because its spies and messengers had been run over on the way.

Darius nodded and sat in the lead tank where Gunner usually placed himself then closed his eyes to mediate as the army rushed forward. When the army encountered the next empire, Darius did not stop his meditation and only gave one order, which was to line up the grandmasters and tie them up for him.

He would drain them later, in his own leisure.

Right now, he was checking his progress with the achievements system and seeing which ones he could quickly complete to get True Coins. He saw more than a few that could be done with his current resources and pinned them.

This way whenever he opened the system, he would see them and be reminded to work on them.

Darius then focused on the Quests tab and saw that if he wanted True Coins, he needed to do the second Divine Quest, which was to create his own True God for 50,000 true Coins and some stats, the two World Quests which gave 300,000 True Coins each and powerful titles and the second Continental Quest which was to conquer them all for 500,000 True Coins and some stats.

None of them were particularly easy and would require time. However, Darius noted that he was actually objectively close to completing the first World Quest, Plunge Faust into Chaos.

After nuking Elysium, Faust was not stable anymore. His conquering of Fallon also brought chaos while Miranda's bombing of Houto and Pan caused unrest.

However, this was balanced by Pokterr which he fully controlled, Kiel and Unyris which he had not touched or visited, and Ludo which he was silently developing.

Darius' eyes narrowed as he realized a critical problem. It seemed that he had a very narrow window to achieve this quest, otherwise he would never really have the chance to complete it without burning his own foot.

After all, Fallon was peaceful in all places except where he pointed his lance. Once it was conquered, it would usher in a period of peace and prosperity, just like Ludo.

Pan and the other continents would likely soon follow as Darius slowly conquered and he would achieve the second Quest, which was to bring Peace to Faust, but at that point, it would be hard to stir up chaos without destroying everything he had built.

Obviously, the correct way to accomplish these two was to bring chaos first and then resolve it with peace, rather than achieve peace and then bring chaos, though the latter was usually more fun and interesting to watch.

So Darius had to throw Faust into absolute chaos. He remembered that he got Miranda to agree to a Non-Aggression Pact for 5 years until all the continents held a summit and decided the world's fate.

It seemed as if he would have to bring some plans forward.

Darius sighed. Ever since Vena's update and fortification of Faust, he could no longer easily make long terms plans and execute them bit by bit. He was not forced to make decisions with huge impacts on the fly, which was not his style.

However, he could not remain a long-term planner forever as that would create a weakness in him. He was going to fight a war, and wars required both long-term planning and the ability to make snap decisions while considering the bigger picture.

This was perfectly good training for such a thing.

As such, while he meditated, Darius opened his eyes which narrowed into serpentine slits. Usually whenever this happened in this life or in his past one, he never noticed, but his rise in power and prowess made him realize that a special phenomenon manifested within him right now.

However, the moment he traced it, it disappeared. However he was able to clue in that it was nothing to do with his biology, but a thing attached to his spirit, rather than his soul.

It was not a foreign entity, but rather something part of himself that did not display its true nature easily. Despite this, Darius decided to investigate it immediately and find out why he had this and what caused it.

As well as, obviously, what benefits it would bring him.

His lab would be the best and safest place to discover what was special about himself, and for now, he could focus on the more pressing matter which was about how to plunge the world into chaos.

Actually, in that regard, he had more than just a few ideas on how to achieve it.

For one…
