Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

……

The Central Council Hall of the Divine Realm.

This is the third expanded plenary meeting of the divine realm in nearly ten thousand years.

Compared to the last time, the atmosphere inside the main hall was noticeably more enthusiastic and crowded.

The once spacious round table meeting room now has to be expanded again.

Thirty god-king level powerhouses sat around it, each emanating a terrifying aura that made the stars tremble.

Behind them, hundreds of first-level gods and thousands of second-level gods stood in neat rows. The scene could be described as the opposite of "Ragnarok"—"Dawn of the Gods".

"This is quite a spectacle..."

Having just returned from the front lines and having broken through to the God-King realm, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but swallow hard as he looked at the densely packed army of gods before him. "To be honest, I really find it hard to imagine which other god realm in this universe could stand against us."

"Let's not even talk about confrontation."

Tianmeng Bingcan, standing to the side, curled his lip, looking like a Versailles, "Even if you tied together those legendary ancient god realms, they probably wouldn't be enough to fill our teeth."

indeed.

Today, the world of online gaming gurus has grown into a colossal entity that inspires despair.

Nearly thirty god-kings and two supreme gods. This configuration is probably unique in the entire universe.

"Alright, quiet."

Xuanming remained seated in the main seat, which symbolized the absolute core, and gently tapped the table.

The hall fell silent instantly.

"I've called everyone here today for only one purpose."

Xuanming's gaze swept across the entire arena, finally landing on the God of Destruction at the head of the left side. "Destruction, tell me your thoughts."

"Ah."

The God of Destruction stood up, his purple armor exuding an air of great majesty. However, since the birth of his daughter, Annihilation Spirit, this once hot-tempered and impulsive veteran god-king had acquired a subtle yet profound composure and paternal love.

"Gentlemen."

The God of Destruction unfurled a vast star map, representing the limit of the universe that the Great Gods could currently detect.

"After tens of thousands of years of expansion, the territory of the Great God Circle has reached a critical point. The surrounding unclaimed planes and even the weak god realms have basically been integrated by us."

"The development of the divine realm has once again entered a bottleneck period."

"If we want to go further, we must step out of this comfort zone and head towards the more distant and unknown deep space."

Upon hearing this, a hint of fanaticism flashed in the eyes of all the gods present.

Expansion means new resources, new divine positions, and... new fun.

"but."

The Myth of Destruction abruptly shifted, his tone becoming grave. "The universe is infinite and unknown. While we are powerful, we are not invincible. In the dark depths we have yet to reach, there may lie ancient civilizations capable of threatening the realm of gods, or even... powers from higher dimensions."

“Before, there were only a few of us. We had nothing to lose and nothing to fear. We could just fight to the death. But now, we have a large and powerful family and countless other planes and beings behind us.”

"Therefore, I propose..."

The God of Destruction looked at Xuanming and said in a deep voice, "Change the strategy. Shift from a full-scale assault to a steady advance."

"We need a strong and flexible vanguard team to scout ahead for the top players. They will conduct reconnaissance and probe on the front lines, while the main force will establish solid defenses and supply depots in the rear."

"Once a valuable target is discovered, the army will advance; if an unavoidable danger arises, the vanguard can retreat calmly, or... call for support."

Upon hearing this suggestion, all the gods present nodded in agreement.

Indeed, the divine realm is no longer the makeshift organization it once was. With families to support, it certainly needs to be more cautious.

"I agree."

Xuanming nodded.

Destruction has indeed become much more composed. Before, he would only shout, "Destruction, hurry up!" Now he knows to proceed cautiously. It seems having a daughter really does make a man mature.

"Now that the strategy is decided, let's talk about the selection of this vanguard team..."

Xuanming's gaze swept over the gods and kings, finally settling on a few individuals.

"Let the newest God King Mech Squad go."

"A mech squad?!"

These words caused an uproar, and countless envious, jealous, and hateful gazes were immediately cast at the individuals who had been named.

It's important to understand that although Tang Ya worked day and night to meet the demand, the manufacturing difficulty of a God-King level mecha was simply too great, and the materials required were astronomical. So far, only a handful of finished units have been produced.

Being able to wear that thing is a symbol of status and power! "Destruction, you'll be the captain."

Xuanming directly appointed him, saying, "Your Law of Destruction has the strongest attack power. When you encounter tough opponents, you will be responsible for the main attack and command."

"Hmm!" The God of Destruction straightened his spine, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

"Qianrenxue, Xiaowu".

"Here!" The two women stepped forward at the same time, their eyes sparkling with excitement.

"You two will be the assault team. Qian Renxue's Angel Mech excels in aerial combat and area-of-effect attacks, while Xiao Wu's End Angel excels in melee combat and burst damage. The two of you working together are enough to tear apart any defense line."

"Di Tian, ​​you're in charge of keeping watch."

Xuanming looked at the Black Dragon King and said, "Your Dragon God Claw combined with the Black Dragon Emperor Mech makes your defense virtually invincible. Protect your teammates and don't let them charge too far and not be able to get back."

"Your subordinate obeys!" Di Tian replied in a deep voice.

"Huo Yuhao".

"exist!"

"Your mental strength is the strongest, and the Spirit Eye Mech is a specially designed reconnaissance type. You are responsible for intelligence gathering and battlefield awareness. Remember, don't act impulsively. Your task is to be the eyes, not a meat shield."

Huo Yuhao gave a wry smile: "Understood, boss."

"Poseidon, the Ice Dragon King."

Xuanming looked at the two water-elemental experts and said, "You two are in charge of controlling the situation. Whether it's the deep sea or the extreme cold, you can effectively restrict the enemy's movements. If you can't defeat them, freeze them and then call for reinforcements."

"No problem." The two women smiled at each other.

"Finally, life."

Xuanming looked at the Goddess of Life, "You'll be in charge of logistics and recovery. With you here, it'll be hard for this team to die."

The goddess of life nodded gently: "Don't worry, I will keep an eye on them."

After arranging the lineup, Xuanming clapped his hands in satisfaction.

"This lineup has tanks, healers, damage dealers, crowd control, and the strongest scouting. Plus the boost from the God-King level mech..."

"Tsk tsk."

Xuanming shook his head, his tone carrying a hint of Versailles-like regret.

"Even if we encounter an enemy at the level of a supreme god and can't defeat them, we can still retreat unscathed."

"Not to mention, where in this universe are there so many supreme gods?"

"If you really run into them..."

Xuanming stood up, and the terrifying aura that could crush eternity flashed by on his body.

"Then send me your location."

“I went there myself… to teach him to be a god.”

……

After the meeting, at the starport on the edge of the divine realm.

Seven giant mechs, each a hundred meters tall and uniquely designed, exuding terrifying power, stood silently in the void.

The God of Destruction's "Annihilation Thunder" is entirely purple-gold, with raging destructive lightning snakes coiling around its body;
Qian Renxue's "Seraph" is dazzling with golden light, and the twelve-winged halo behind her shines as brightly as the sun;
Xiao Wu's "Angel of the End" is black and red, wielding a giant sword, exuding an aura of dominance;

Di Tian's "Black Dragon Emperor" is as heavy as a mountain, resembling a coiled black steel dragon;

Huo Yuhao's "Omniscient Eye" is entirely silver-white, with a sophisticated mental energy sensing array covering its body;

Poseidon's "Wrath of the Sea God" and the Ice Dragon King's "Absolute Zero," one blue and one white, exude the ultimate laws of water and ice.

These seven mechs represent the highest achievement of the fusion of technology and laws in the divine realm today.

"set off!"

At the God of Destruction's command, he was the first to climb into the cockpit.

"Buzz—!!!"

Seven mechs started up simultaneously, the roar of their engines shaking the void.

"Target: Direction to the Phantasm Galaxy, coordinates unknown!"

Full speed ahead!

Seven streaks of light pierced the sky like sharp swords, instantly disappearing at the edge of the divine realm and heading towards the vast and boundless deep space.
