YM778.TV Chapter 969 Setting Off!
They all boarded a ship that was crafted by Draco\'s Shipbuilding Assistants. It had to be said, his Privateering Tradeskill was super convenient since it could endlessly grand itself, and it had been running all this time, building new ships for Umbra to use on the Sea Route.
By this point, the troublesome Legendary Tradeskill had long reached the Expert-tier and was one step away from becoming a Master. It was currently Draco\'s highest ranked Tradeskill in terms of progress at its rarity.
As such, Draco had them make his best Rare Rank ship design for the crew to manage for this journey.

These were the design upgrades granted when he reached Expert Rank and with his riches, he bought all five. The materials to make them were plentiful in Vita Kingdom and thanks to the Rank 7 Warehouse and Rank 7 Refinery, they were already processed into Perfect grade mats!

When the core members boarded the huge ship that was big enough to accommodate more than 5,000 people, much less a mere 50 or so, they marveled at the size. Just standing at the deck at sea level and looking down on the land was like standing atop a high-rise building.
Btw, this is Boundless, of course the scales are far more nonsensical than in reality. A ship this size would be a burden in reality, but in Boundless, it was only Rare Rank.
Then what were the Epic, Legendary and Divine versions like??
The ship slowly took off from the port and began to sail at a shockingly fast pace, accelerating like a Bugatti on the road before reaching its top speed. With the strength and stats of the core members. They were not fazed by the wind and movement, as well as the swaying.
Brother, they all had Control, how could they felt woozy when they had perfect mastery over their bodies? All they had to do was adjust to the waves with each step, something frighteningly easy for them.
Tsk, tsk, you forget that Control is actually a bloodline and even rated at an Eternal Talent! Of course, it usages and abilities would be universal, powerful and awe-inspiring.
The core members initially were exploring the ship, but rushed to the deck when they sensed two tense auras.
Currently, Draco was facepalming while trying to stand between Conner Lord (Krona) and Luke Reyson (Omegaraider). One was the partner of Leviathan and a God Serpent Inheritor while the other was the current wielder of Poseidon\'s power from the Zeus Lineage.
If there was one thing that the mythologies got right, Leviathan and Poseidon DID NOT like each other, not even on a basic level. As two masters of the seas and water, one representing Gods and the other the beasts, they were always at odds.
Forget cooperating, both krona and Omega looked like they were about to rip each others throats out. Draco had to step in to stop a conflict between his own two core members, and he sensed that he was going to suffer to right this problem that Lucifer and Zeus allowed to propagate.
"Alright, alright, the two of you are not idiots, okay? So what if your bloodlines make you hate each other? Before today, you never met and do not know the other mans character, and yet you dare judge him?!" Draco chided with dissatisfaction.
A dark and cruel glint flashed in Draco;s eyes as he glanced at something beyond Krona and Omega. "And you two, controlling them and filling them with your own hate, do you think there\'s nothing we can\'t do to you? Baby girl!"
Shuangtian smiled and stepped forward waving a hand, using her newfound Soul branch, she dragged out the spirit of Leviathan and Poseidon from both krona and Omega\'s bodies, causing the red-eyed men to calm down with shock on their faces.
As for the images, Leviathan was in his usual form while Poseidon, rather than the form of a man, was in the form of a humanoid water elemental with two piercing amber eyes being his one real features.
After being dragged out of their bodies, the two spirits screeched and twisted in pain. Shuangtian clenched her fist and caused them to explode and reform, but they were silent and much dimmer now.
"Hmph, you two have really acted wantonly. If you have grudges, then fight it out now and be over and done with. If I see my two boys so much as glare at each other after this, I will extinguish the two of you without hesitation!" Draco threatened seriously.
It was fine if there were some playful conflicts, but serious ones between his core members were not tolerated!
Leviathan and Poseidon shivered when they felt Draco\'s malice and send the power of Shuangtian, which could extinguish them for real without causing harm or loss to their inheritors.
After all, they were not the source of the bloodlines, just the consciousness within it. They could be easily done away with and even should honestly be done away with.
Draco nodded to Shuangtian, who drew a rune in the air that split and landed on both Leviathan and Poseidon like a brand. Both spirits grimaced when it seared into their essence and once they felt the effects, their expressions changed.
"That is a soul bind rune. Now, the two of you will live and die together, so continue trying to force you inheritors to kill each other and see what happens!" Draco snorted coldly.
He turned to Krona and Omega who were confused. "The soul bond will not affect you two, only the two consciousnesses. After this, if they ever force you to feel negativity towards the other, let me know. I will deal with them."
Krona and Omega nodded calmly, not to pleased that they were silently manipulated like this. They were thankful to Draco for preventing an unnecessary fight and couldn\'t help but inspect the other man to see if he was worthy of be a friend.
Well, it was too early to tell, but neutrality was also better than enmity.
.....
Meanwhile, back at the Arther Palace.
Misery and AP_Berzerker rushed over while sweating, quickly buckling up their clothes and looking around. They saw the ship in the horizon that was already long gone, and could only kick their feet with depression.
"Damn those two Royal Devils, they milked me all night after the celebration!" Misery roared with grief.
"Sigh, that damn Maple Leaf woman snuck in 5 Latinas who had a crush on me into my bedroom by bribing my servants! Those five drained me all night, and I barely escaped with my life!" AP also complained.
Despite being in similar situations, Misery laughed out loud and pointed at AP. "Hahaha, what a retard!"
Naturally, AP spat at him and took out his axe, ready to cut Misery in two. However, they were disrupted by the sound of a crack nearby. Misery and AP curiously looked over to see that a tear in space had formed and something was trying to break free.
"God, do you feel that energy? This is purer than shitty Worldly Energy, this is that Aetheric shit! We\'re eating good tonight boys!" A hoarse voice sounded, though muffled.
Muffled roars of joy and bloodlust also followed as the crack widened slowly. Misery and AP shared a look and then watched the crack, only turning to see Shadowheart, Nightwalker and Elle coming along calmly.
"You guys seeing this?" AP asked while hooking a finger towards the crack.
"Yes, this must be the vanguard of the Demon Race for the upcoming Great War event. While I was researching in magic, I often read records of this disaster class event that occurs every 1000 years." Shadowheart answered calmly while staring at the space crack with interest.
From his point of view, a huge amount of minute blackish energy that existed in every particle of space was being rapidly condensed and then broken down to form the crack that was occurring.
If he could comprehend this, they perhaps he too could form his own spatial cracks, though he was not sure how the positioning aspect worked, just the formation and gathering part.
"So what are we gonna do about it?" Elle asked while petting her mount, which happened to be a fierce lioness.
Nightwalker cricked his neck. "Invade the Demon realm."
"Invade the Demon realm." Shadow slammed the butt of his staff in the ground.
"Invade the Demon women heh heh." AP smirked as he let his Divine Axes rest on hi shoulder.
"Invade anything that moves, starting with the Demon Realm." Misery said casually while searching for his flask.
Elle sighed and rolled her eyes. "I knew you fellows would say that. I\'m definitely coming along to make sure you don\'t cause trouble."
Shadow smiled and turned to Elle. "Why you don\'t trust that I can look after these fellows?"
Elle snorted. "You are the one I\'m most worried about. These fellows can destroy half the content for all I care, but nothing must happen to you."
Shadowheart laughed softly and pulled Elle into his embrace, which the valiant woman didn\'t reject as she smiled. At this time, the crack finally broke open and a demon pushed his way through.
He was similar to what you\'d expect, a burly red-skinned fellow with two horns, very little clothing and a relatively ugly, orc-like visage. When he saw that there were humans on he other side, he was stunned at first before hollering in joy.
"Don\'t stop me, first blood is mine!" he shouted as he jumped forward to kill Misery who was closest.
Misery had just finished taking a swig when he kicked the demon back, sending him flying through the crack and knocking all the others who wanted to rush through.
Misery then casually walked through the crack while drinking, follow by AP who was grinning as he swung his axes. Nightwalker shrugged and followed behind the two with a mini-Jormungandr in his shoulder.
"Shall we go then?" Shadowheart gently beckoned to Elle, who siled and took his hand. Together, they walked into the crack and closed it behind them by destroying it head-on.
