The World Serpent

In the outskirts of the battlefield of the Occidental Guardian and the Goblin Ruler, Dozens of figures appeared. They were the Supreme Commanders of the Great Army. The Great Rulers of the Species unified under the Great Army of the Plains. They teleported the moment the message of the Goblin Ruler reached them. But unfortunately, it seems they were already late. 

"I didn\'t know that the Occidental Guardian would be capable of such destruction. It seems that the Goblin Ruler and his army didn\'t stand a chance against the Guardian. It also seems that the Occidental Guardian had done all of this alone." A Supreme Commander couldn\'t help but get shocked upon gazing at the scenery. The devastation brought by the Occidental Guardian affected the Endless Grassland. 

Countless cities from different species sank into damnation. A lot of species were starting to back off after the discovery of such an attack. But the Great Rulers of the Plains understood one fact. They needed to defeat the Occidental Guardian, or else the Occidental Guardian would hunt them down. 

The Supreme Commanders were looking at a Gigantic Crevice created by the Execution Attack. It spans the length that seemed to know no end along with a vast width of a thousand kilometers. It was kind of expected for such an attack to sink the cities within the Endless Grassland. Though, as Great Rulers and Supreme Commanders. They understood that the battle between the Goblin Ruler and the Occidental Guardian didn\'t end with one execution. 

"The Occidental Guadian was playing with the Goblin Ruler. It seems that the Guardian was testing him of his Origin Skill. From the little to no evidence left within the scene, the Occidental Guardian summoned a dozen meteors and tornado. The Guardian also shook the earth and created the biggest storm, which seemed to encompassed half of the Endless Grassland and the Occidental Region."

A Supreme Commander said with a calm voice. She activated her Origin Skill to gather evidence left within the scene. She would have never expected her Origin Skill to simply get used as an evidence gatherer. Hearing her words, the Supreme Commanders has serious expressions plastered on their face. They wouldn\'t be able to fight against the Guardian in a duel. They would have to fight together to get a chance. 

"How do we handle the situation if the Guardian starts hunting us one by one. Each of us would have to manage our own armies. It is clear that we wouldn\'t be able to gather together." Another Supreme Commander said as he was curious about their future movements. They needed to be cautious to not end up like the Goblin Ruler. 

"We would have to gather our armies together and not split up. We will divide ourselves into a group of five. The group of five Supreme Commanders might be able to last longer than a single one. This would give time for reinforcements to arrive and help the troubled Supreme Commanders. Does anyone disagree?" The Ogre Ruler asked with a calm voice. Despite seeing the power of the Occidental Guardian, she seemed to not fear the Guardian. 

Well, that was to be expected. As the Great Ruler of the Ogres, A Fearless Race of Warriors. She would have to be calm and collected even if she was facing a monstrosity beyond her abilities. Hearing the words of the Ogre Ruler, the Supreme Commanders nodded in agreement. 

The place the Ogre Ruler had given wasn\'t foolproof, but it was better than their current situation. Gathering together in a group of five, it would also mean that their Armies would gather together and conquer everything in their path. The Confidence of the Supreme Commanders was rising until something appeared on the horizon. 

The first one to notice it was the Ogre Ruler. She looked at the Horizon as she had seen something moving. She shook her head as she couldn\'t believe what she had seen. The size wasn\'t to be underestimated. The thing she had seen on the Horizon was at least 20 kilometers in length. 

"Is there something wrong?" A Supreme Commander asked. He had seen the expression plastered on the Ogre Ruler\'s face. It must have been serious as the Ogre Ruler seemed to be frozen in place. The Ogre Ruler got out of her daze and replied. "Nothing is wrong. I simply thought I saw something in the Horizon."

"So you also saw it?" The Ork Ruler questioned as the Ogre Ruler looked at him with a serious expression. If the Ork Ruler also saw the shadow within the Horizon. Wouldn\'t that mean that something was slithering in the Horizon near them? After such a thought passed through her mind, the Ork Ruler prepared herself as the Supreme Commanders got confused by her actions. 

"Prepare yourselves. Something is coming." The Ork Ruler warned as the Supreme Commanders began preparing themselves. For some reason, everything around them got surrounded by fog. It also seems that the Storm above them didn\'t have a plan on stopping. Silence enveloped everything as the Supreme Commanders noticed their enemy.

They saw a Gigantic Monstrosity slithering in the distance. With the length of 20 kilometers and the height of 600 meters, the Supreme Commanders understood who that monstrosity was. The Occidental Guardian of the Occidental Region. The Bastard with the Title Demon Lord and Demonic Serpent. From its Title, It was obvious that the thing trying to scare them was the Serpent form of the Occidental Guardian. 

"Gather together and don\'t act alone. The Mist seems to be created by the Guardian. It might have an unknown effect that might separate us from each other. At that moment, we would lose as the Guardian would hunt us one by one. So heed my warning, Be careful." The Ogre Ruler warned the Supreme Commanders. She had thought that the Guardian had already retreated. Unfortunately, she was wrong.

"My, my... The Supreme Commanders of the Great Army of the Plains. I never thought that the strongest ones would gather together. I wonder what I should do with pests that tried to invade my Region?" A distorted voice echoed along with a hiss. The Supreme Commanders felt cold sweat escaping from their forehead. A cold chill from their spine made their body stiff. This was the first time the Supreme Commanders felt Horror.

A Supreme Commander started swinging his staff. A Radiant Light then illuminated from the staff, which resulted in the Fog dispersing. The Supreme Commanders looked at the one that dispersed the Fog and nodded towards him. They were lucky to have someone like him, but they understood that luck wouldn\'t last long. 

"Should I devour all of you and end the war at this moment? Hmm... That would be very boring, and my Inquisitors wouldn\'t learn a single thing. I guess you are fortunate for now. But if we meet again, I\'ll devour every single one of you. Some might get killed while some might turn like remaining Goblins of the Goblin Army." 

The Occidental Guardian felt like a Demon Lord playing with her prey. The Guardian\'s distorted voice kept echoing, and the pressure released from its body was enough to make the Supreme Commanders freeze. Hearing the last words of the Occidental Guardian, the Supreme Commanders noticed the Goblins below them. 

The Goblins became Monsters far from their original appearance. They had dark purple skin and purple eyes, which shone brilliantly. They became affected by the Chaos Plague. And they were about to spread all around the Great Army of the Plains. A Plague was about to start. Whether the Supreme Commanders could contain it was a question that would appear if the Occidental Guardian spared them. 

"Anyway, some of you are quite interesting. I look forward to meeting you on the battlefield. Especially the Little Ogre." The Full Shadow of the Occidental Guardian revealed itself. The Supreme Commanders looked at the Gigantic Shadow in fear. Why couldn\'t they move their bodies? Weren\'t they the Supreme Commanders and the Great Rulers of the Endless Grassland?

The Ogre Ruler gritted her teeth. This was the first time she felt absolute fear. Such fear was something she thought didn\'t exist. But it seems that the representation of such Fear was in front of her. Ogres typically want to fight Fear. Though, it seems that even the Ogre Ruler couldn\'t move in front of an Existence beyond herself. 

"I would also like to warn that anything that tries to retreat will meet their end. You could survive, but that is whether you\'re interesting enough to warrant the survival of yourself and your race. Would you die fighting, or would you die retreating? I\'m interested in your answers."

It was clear that the Occidental Guardian was playing with the Supreme Commanders. The Great War wasn\'t a war but a playground for the Occidental Guardian. The Supreme Commanders and their army were simply toys for the Occidental Guardian. Nothing more, nothing less.

"I\'ll take my leave, Little Commanders." The Shadow of the Horrifying Serpent slowly faded along with the dispersing fog. The terrifying pressure that surrounded the Supreme Commanders disappeared. The Supreme Commanders, on the other hand, weren\'t in a good state. 

Some of them instantly retreated as they would order their armies to evacuate. Meanwhile, the ones left planned on continuing the Invasion. They were sure that anything or anyone that tried to retreat would meet a horrifying end. 

"The Occidental Guardian, also known as the World Serpent."

The Ogre Ruler uttered with a calm voice. Her words had a tinge of amazement.. It seems that the strange meeting between the Supreme Commanders and Persia led the Ogre Ruler to have a lasting image of the Guardian.
