CHAPTER 7: THE TEN SUPREMES
Greg stared at the notification and dismissed it. Supreme beings could stare at him all they wanted—he didn't care. In his last life, the supremes never acknowledged him, and his life had been pitiful. Now they were paying attention—perhaps he was on the right track? He didn't realize just how messed up his thinking was. Regression and the merging of two souls had certainly taken their toll.
Without wasting time, Greg activated Talent Share and granted his EX-rank 100% Dodge Rate talent to Drakonix. Natives of the world didn't possess talents but rather bloodlines, and the system treated bloodlines as talents. This granted Greg the Primordial Dragon Bloodline, which he then shared with his sister. Now, it was a triangle share—Drakonix's bloodline was shared with two others, while Greg's talent was shared with Drakonix.
He refrained from sharing additional talents. After all, sharing his sister's talent with a mythical beast capable of amassing wealth was a bad idea. It could disrupt the balance of Apocalypse—something he wasn't planning to do just yet. The more unstable the world's balance became, the faster his own world's assimilation would occur. No matter how cold he had become, he still had a soft spot for his race and wouldn't do anything that could lead to their mass extinction—at least, not yet. Of course, this was a flawed excuse, as he was already tipping the scales, just not entirely.
Greg checked his status while Scarlett did the same, curious about the meaning of divinity and bloodline.

Greg was pleased. With this, he was one step closer to enacting his revenge. He had leveled up ten times thanks to the God of Wealth talent. By stashing Drakonix's wealth—along with Scarlett's—he had secured enough EXP for the boost.
As for divinity, he had ten points, which, according to Drakonix, was a lot. Gaining divinity points was extremely difficult and couldn't be increased through normal means—only by completing impossible feats or gaining worshippers. The divinity stat was crucial, as it determined a god's or supreme being's ranking and served as their primary power source. Greg and Scarlett were gods in name only, lacking the strength to match the title.
Wasting no time, Greg commanded Drakonix to take them to the next target: Leviathan, the Mythical Beast of the Ocean.
As the trio embarked on their journey to the deep ocean, chaos erupted among players due to the sudden system notification.

[World Announcement]
Congratulations to Player Nemesis and Scarlett for completing an impossible feat and becoming the Gods of Dragons.

Madness. That was the only thought in everyone's mind. Madness.
How had they achieved such an impossible feat just two days after the game launched?
Apocalypse was a vast, incomprehensible world. The map only updated for players as they explored or when required for quests. The world consisted of five continents:
1. Central Continent: The summoning ground for players, predominantly human. It thrived as a trade hub, home to the Hero Empire and the Celestial Temple, which spanned every continent except the northern one. Elves and dwarves had scattered settlements here.
2. Western Continent: Rich in wildlife and nature, thanks to the World Tree. It was a sanctuary for elves, with a few human kingdoms in its vast forests.
3. Eastern Continent: A mountainous, mineral-rich region, home to the dwarves. Artisans worldwide visited to craft masterpiece weapons and armor.
4. Southern Continent: The largest landmass, home to mixed races. It had no dominant species but was governed by a council of powerhouses.
5. Northern Continent: A dangerous land filled with demonic creatures like vampires, werewolves, and liches—not ruled by the Demon King.
The continents were separated by vast oceans and seas, making intercontinental travel rare and extremely dangerous—reserved for the most powerful.
Beyond the continents, there were separate realms:
Celestial Realm: Ruled by the Celestial King.
Demon Realm: Ruled by the Demon God.
Each continent had its supreme being:
Central Continent: Drakonix & the Legendary Hero
Western Continent: The World Tree
Eastern Continent: The Dwarf God
Northern Continent: The Vampire Queen & Werewolf Alpha
Deep Ocean: Leviathan
Southern Continent: The Golden Lion
The Celestial King and Demon God were the strongest beings in existence.

Greg and his crew finally reached the deep ocean—Leviathan's domain.
"Do your thing, Drakonix. Make that water beast come out. We need to talk like civilized beings," Greg instructed.
"With pleasure," Drakonix replied, eager to test his new powers. He secretly hoped Leviathan would resist so he could teach the fool a lesson—perhaps even settle some old scores.
Without further ado, Drakonix unleashed a mighty roar, shaking the ocean for a thousand miles.
A furious voice bellowed from the depths, "How dare you trespass in my territory, lizard?!"
