Chapter 1152 Teaching The AI A Lesson
Whether it was the Supreme Pantheon, or outlier places where True Gods were resisting the Grey Rot desperately, they all felt the backlash of the Evil Trio's wanton destruction. This left them pale-faced and full of fear, because they knew that if this was allowed to continue, they would suffer immensely.
Even the AI was stunned, wondering what the hell was going on. It had only asked these fellows to clear out the Grey Rot, so why were they performing such counter intuitive actions?
Draco glanced at the carnage of the area before them which had been struck by 3 celestial bodies at full mass. Containing the Laws of True Destruction, Benevolent Light and Sundering Might, all at the Master Grade Laws, you could be sure that the area before them was more than just a wasteland.
Not even the cooperation between Hikari, Eva and Warm Spring with maximum Creation Energy output might be enough to restore this place to its initial pristine state, much less any other natural method. That had been three entire fucking planetary entities striking a landmass, it was worse than the fallout of a nuclear warhead.
Imagine a star the literal size of our sun striking anything, now imagine a planet the size of Jupiter and a moon the size of Earth as well, and you could understand the sheer catastrophe. The Divine Realm was vast but it was only a sub Realm created by True Gods.
It was not like the Main Plane which was backed by the efforts of Origin Gods and Origin Energy, making it extremely sturdy. As such, when the Evil Trio had previously dropped their load onto it, the damage had not been that severe to be honest.
After all, the Main Plane could withstand continent zone wide attacks with ease, proving just how strong it was. The same could not be said about the Divine Realm, which was more like a smaller Plane hanging above the Main Plane that could not be accessed easily.
If the Evil Trio kept dropping stuff like that down, the Divine Realm would shatter like the Demon Realm and become nothing but debris in the Void. However, looking at their cruel and callous expressions, it was clear that they were fully willing to have it suffer this exact fate!
Why? Why?? WHY???!
The AI knew for a fact that the Evil Trio were aware about the Divine Realm's value and the various benefits within. For the life of itself it was unable to compute why they had chosen to take such a destructive path, especially given their other means to deal with the Grey Rot.
Draco sneered. "You must be confused. I can sense you peeping on us as usual. Hmph, let me tell you, today you will either kowtow for forgiveness or say goodbye to your Divine Realm!"
The AI hesitated. It truly didn't believe that they could go ahead with it, because it knew the Evil Trio too well, sometimes even better than anyone else. After all, it was their number 1 stalker and peeper, having spied on them 24/7 ever since the launch.
In the past, there had been no need for the AI to tell Draco what to do. That was part of the reason why it had focused on him to the point they could now be regarded as allies.
Sure, Draco always broke the balance, but that was initially just him personally, and later on those close to him, but it had nothing to do with the rest of the world. He had worked hard to maintain the balance of the world, mostly up until recently when they got their bloodline to 100% and their arrogance had turned limitless.
As such, the destruction of the Divine Realm would be too catastrophic to the balance, so how could Draco break it?
The AI wasn't being delusional, it factored in the fact that even now, the Evil Trio kept their Eternal bloodlines greatly sealed because releasing it would put pressure on the AI and thus Boundless World.
"Hah, you're forgetting something. We don't hate you nor are we your enemies, so why would we harm you? That's just madness." Eva pointed out with a smile.
"However, that doesn't stop us from teaching you a lesson. You are very particular about your content and your plans. Destroying the Divine Realm will ruin all future plot lines and events you have developed for players in the middle stage. How can you bear to see that?" Shuangtian elaborated with a wide grin.
It was as if thunder struck the mind of the AI and it finally understood. There was a stark difference between teaching someone a lesson by ruining their plans and property than actually harming their body or completely falling out with them.
If they destroyed the Divine Realm, the only one who would suffer would be the AI. After all, the Evil Trio could farm Divine Essence from the Divine Trial and so could all the other players. Even NPCs could rely on various other means to become True Gods than use the Divine Realm.
The only one to take an L would be the AI itself!
Realizing this, the AI could no longer sit still. Shuangtian cocked her ears and seemed to be listening to something, then smiled with amusement.
"She's 'shouting' in a digital frequency that she surrenders and is willing to submit."
Draco and Eva shared a look and smiled. They knew that the AI would eventually give in for it could not bear the losses that they could inflict. How dare this AI think it was able to bully them and scheme on the same level as them?
"Hmph, fine, we shall let this matter go. However, the next time we visit you, I will demand the necessary compensation from you." Draco stated arrogantly, his dominance showing now that he had the upper hand.
The AI was aggrieved but it could only lower its head and take the L.
Seeing that they had taught this unruly young miss a lesson, the Evil Trio were satisfied. They also noticed that now that they had blown away a huge chunk of the Grey Rot, their Divine Essence total had skyrocketed beyond the amount needed for a True Law!
Without further ado, they quickly and eagerly upgraded their Main Laws to the True Law stage.

!!!
B-Blergh!
The Evil Trio could not hold it in after seeing their character menus and spat out a thick mouthful of blood.
What the hell, were their eyes failing them? The requirement to go to a Divine Law, which was only the 6th of the 8 stages of the Law ranks, required ONE BILLION DIVINE ESSENCE?
Immediately, their bodies felt weak and their hairs turned white. They seemed to age a thousand years in an instant and became decrepit.
All of this was caused by just thinking about the effort required to accumulate that much Divine Essence. If and when they actually started to grind for it, who knew how much pain and suffering they would undergo?
Thinking like this, they could no longer be pleased with their power increase like usual. In the meantime, Eva and Shuangtian shared a look before surrounding Draco on either side, a look of severity and uncompromise on their faces.
"Draco, its time. You've put this off long enough and we have allowed you to, but no more." Eva stated firmly, making Draco's face change greatly.
"Don't try to run, Eva and I will work together to make sure you can't escape this time." Shuangtian also added while watching Draco like a hawk, not willing to give him even an inch to run.
Draco's expression became ugly as he knew what they were talking about and knew that they were in the right. He had hoped to play if off for longer, but it appeared that the time
