Chapter 278 278: Part 1: Gold Rank II

The system seemed to chose that very moment, when Cole was about to go after his hunch to see just what exactly they were dealing with. A powerful presence seemed to descend upon the world as a massive notification seemed to etch itself into the sky, and Cole was looking right in front of it. Cole had never been able to fully appreciate the scope and power of the system, no one truly knew what it was, but it seems to be something that has existed for more time than entire universes has been alive….. but then again there was Bob.

That was a being that Cole could not really fathom, there was a depth to him that frankly speaking Cole could not reach. What he was, where he came from were questions that Cole has been. Was Bob really God? Or rather the legend for God was gotten from him? It's sounds blasphemous giving that Cole's family was brought up on a dual religion ethic of Christianity and Shintoism. But still things were strange, and Bob was fathomless. But never the less Cole still laid attention to the announcement in front of him.

Cole took a deep breath as he let himself fall right back to the earth. The wind rushing past his body as the scales on his body seemed to raise up. Cole shifted in the air, making it seem like his body was blurring through the motions as he changed levels of flexibility and fitness that most would never be able to achieve if they were flying. He fell into his territory proper, his body weaving in between the trees in his wood node area.

There was almost complete control of his body and the way he moved, it was not just gravity that Cole had control over, he also had mastery over a little bit of the wind element. He came to a halt in front of his manor where quite a few people had been gathered. There was about a thousand Raen here, give or take, more than enough for Cole to have completed his racial mission and unlock another.

I would have to check my stats to see to their growth but this was a welcome surprise. But beyond all of that was the announcement the system and just given, it seems we've run out of time. I would have to rush through the leveling up and upgrade of my territory. It needs to be as secure as possible as once I'm on the city floor I would not be able to return until the path to the sixth had been discovered….. I don't know what to expect but it would be best to cover our bases.

I turned to look at the crowd that had gathered. Since I was now the leader and there has been a major change in events, everyone was waiting for me to give them directions about what we would be doing next. I nodded my head to no one in particular as I took a deep breath and looked at them.

"Seems like there has been a change of plans, but it will not stop us all from growing as we ought to. The denizens under the command of the Phonenixborn clan will focus on defense and development, any aspirant not ready for the fifth floor would pitch in. The military guys, I can see you guys are rearing for a fight so we will make sure we conquer the whole of the valley before we figure out how to tackle the problem of the fifth floor. The rest of us, are free to pitch in anyway they want to, but ultimately I believe it would be wise for all of us to prepare for whatever rigors the fifth floor would have in store for us. So…..are you with me!" there was a smattering of agreement before someone screamed out loud.

"To The Breaking Of Worlds!" and then that became a chant as everyone else picked it up too.

"TO THE BREAKING OF WORLDS!"

Cole chuckled as he nodded his head. Raens….still humans in soul, but demons in body. They weren't really builders, if they built it was still to feed their penchant for destruction. To The Breaking Of Worlds! An apt description for exactly what they were, and who they were He broke the status quo, the broke the foundations, they overturned the heavens…..they will break worlds, and they will do it with a bloody smile on their face…..so Cole responded as he too agreed…..

"To The Breaking Of Worlds!"
