"Everyone, the show has begun. Time to take the stage!"
The Gods, who had just been startled by the upheaval in the Main Plane and were investigating in confusion, heard the Fate Overlord's declaration of war.
Every Deity was dumbfounded. They knew the Fate Overlord was full of schemes, but surely not to this extent?
Was he really starting a war this casually?
Without even giving his allies a heads-up?
Well, he had certainly kept this tightly under wraps.
Their opponents had indeed been caught completely off guard, but so had his allies!
Still, this was not entirely the Fate Overlord's fault. Using the Mother of Sea Monsters as the opening move had only been one of his options.
The risks involved were enormous.
If even one Heaven's Mandate or Ancient God had reacted in advance, they could easily have interrupted the Mother of Sea Monsters' advancement!
And brought the Fate Overlord's plans to nothing!
Hadn't the Wizard Speaker only been a single step too late?
The Fate Overlord had not been particularly optimistic about this operation's chances of success to begin with.
Naturally, he was even less likely to tell others and increase the risk.
Originally, the Fate Overlord had merely wanted to try letting the Mother of Sea Monsters roam freely to throw the world into disorder. He had never expected the Wizard Speaker's coincidental arrival to make this move so astonishingly effective!
It was only because this move had proved far too effective that the Fate Overlord had hastily declared war just now.
Watching the direction of the Mother of Sea Monsters' pursuit, the Fate Overlord's gaze flickered. In the end, he used his lingering influence over the Mother of Sea Monsters to make her skirt around the Atlantis Empire's heartland!
In the Astral Plane.
