One Day Later, Skull Valley Pass
The Skull Valley Pass was a place that divided the entire Ewor Sub-Continent into two parts. Smaller Southern Area and larger Northern Area. While human barbarian tribes inhabited the southern area, the northern area was mainly inhabited by various goblinoid species that were extremely populous.
Each year, they attempted to enter the southern area through the Skull Valley Pass, but they couldn’t pass through the Valley and were always repelled due to territorial disadvantage.
Thanks to that, Skull Valley Pass was immediately secured by Devil Legions, who went directly there after the destruction of Tribes A, B, and C. It was a strategic location that needed to be secured as soon as possible.
Currently, it was guarded by nine Legions, which were worth 1,800,000 soldiers, and sixty Anti-Matter Magicule Canon Batteries that were stationed in various positions with good angles so they could be used to their maximum potential.
General Amyke, General Borke Zagan, and Lady Venelana were in the war tent, which served as the temporary command center.
All three of them weren’t looking exactly happy as they listened to the report of the scouts.
“This isn’t good… though the question is, how they found out about it?”
Asked General Amyke.
“They probably have Ultimate-Class shamans or warlocks, but now that isn’t important… right now, more than six million large hordes of goblinoid tribes are going here… that is a problem. This is bad; we need to prepare for the defensive. We are severely outnumbered, and the enemy has even a few General Level Monsters.”
Commented the situation General Borke Zagan.
“As long as we properly block the Valley, with Anti-Matter Magicule Canon Batteries, with could deal them a great deal of damage. Our main point should be using defense to lower their number and kill their commanders and beings on the Ultimate-Class. Then the horde won’t be much of a problem. The real problem would be taking care of General Level goblinoids…”
Stated Venelana calmly as both of the generals looked at her, mildly surprised hearing her tactics, but nodded in agreement.
“The horde will arrive one hour later, while our reinforcements will take at least three hours from the Fortress Gremory. Probably Lord himself will arrive with reinforcements, taking three legions with him, leaving only one Legion at the Fortress guarding the portal. Right now, as the southern area is clean, our concern is Skull Valley Pass.”
Said General Borke Zagan after.
“Then send a message to Zeo to arrive as soon as possible; until that, we will play defensive.”
Said Venelana as she went out of the room. She took the role of unofficial commander because of her status as fianceé of their Lord, she held the last word, and both Generals were aware that she herself was no pushover. In terms of destructive power, Venelana may be weaker in Class as she was newly advanced Ultimate-Class, but she was in a higher league in terms of combat prowess.

“My Lord, a horde of more than six million goblinoid species is advancing with tremendous speed at the Skull Valley Pass. Apparently, tribal chieftains of largest tribes were defeated by someone that unified north and started advancing to the south, concurrently, as we were conquering human barbarians.”
I heard a report from one of my servants as I was reading the grimoire in the library while conversing with the Architect from time to time.
“Interesting. How many beings on Ultimate-Class are there?”
I ask.
“Around seven, My Lord. One of them is even Eldricht Giant that appears to be the leader of the horde… what is weird, the detection spell found signs of Divinity on the Eldricht Giant.”
Said the servant as my eyes sharpened.
“Send a message to three Legion Commanders to prepare for the march; we will go with the fastest speed combined with large-scale teleportation; within three hours, we should arrive at the Skull Valley Pass.”
I commanded as the servant bowed slightly and ran off to carry my orders.
“Divinity… so this Plane is already starting giving birth to the God Slots. Damm, this is getting problematic; we need to act fast.”
When the Plane developed to a certain level, it started creating God Slots.
God Slots were limited on how many gods the Plane could hold. Higher leveled Plane, a higher number of gods. Newly birthed planes usually didn’t develop God Slots, not until several hundreds of thousands of years have passed till the birth of the Plane.
Based on records that Aesir and Kindreds brought in, Astral Boundary was a classification of Planes. Planes were Graded from Grade 9 to Grade 1 based on how strong entities planes could bear. Of course, this applied only to the Astral Boundary and not other Universes, the other Realms of Existence, where were different Universal Laws.
For example, Draconic Deus was Grade 5 Plane according to the Planar Classification of Astral Boundary Realm of Existence. Meaning, that the Grade 5 Plane could hold maximally Apocalypse-Class beings and around 5,000 Gods.
However, that could be bypassed by creating Dimensional Worlds by combining the Divine Kingdoms of Gods to create something like a super divine kingdom.
It works like this. A Pantheon of Gods that ascended in some Plane want to bypass this, so they all fuse their Divine Kingdoms to create a Pantheon’s Dimensional World; from that moment, their existences as gods are tied to that Pantheon’s Dimensional World, which is a collection of countless Divine Kingomds and other special materials, and God Slots are then freed.
Though the danger of this is that, after this transiting, from Plane God Slot to Pantheon’s Dimensional World, God would be weakened drastically, for a long time, unless he used special means to hasten recovery.
Of course, the disadvantage of this is when the world is low on population larger number of gods will result in that all gods would be weaker. As they would be forced to fight for worshippers, so Gods usually won’t artificially increase the number of Gods.
