Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!

In recent days, Xu Shan discreetly observed the ongoing battles. As he had anticipated, the conflicts seemed to be heavily lopsided. The local inhabitants put up only a minor opposition, which proved to be insufficient.

With each passing day, more and more kingdoms succumbed to the invaders' control. It seemed as though there was a silent rivalry among different clans from another realm who were treating this conquest like a game.

If those clans wanted, they could've directly attacked the main city and ended the war in a single day, but instead, they were taking their time, starting from the farthest point like it was a face between them to see which clan was better.

Xu Shan learned that there were four clans involved in the war, all originating from the same world. These four clans had many minor clans under them which worked like pawns for them in these battles. 𝒇𝓻𝙚𝙚𝙬𝙚𝙗𝒏𝒐𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎

In fact, the four major Clans didn't even send their real forces. They only sent the minor clans under them, which were pawns for them while the four clans remained in their own world.

It was done as they didn't think this world was worth sending their true forces. Instead, they used it for another reason.

This war was akin to a game of chess being played between the four clans to see who could win at the end. And to lead the minor clans, the Major Clans sent their heirs. As for those heirs, they rarely took part in the battles.

They were only here to command their Clans under them and to have fun. A matter that involved the life and death of millions of people was just a training exercise for the juniors for the Clans of the other world to see which Clan's heir was better.

This war, the Clans could not only train their heir but also show their future generation's might to the other three clans. Moreover, the winning clan of the trial was going to receive the first right to choose from the Alchemists that were imprisoned at the main city.

Xu Shan was also able to understand the rules of the game as he devoured the life and memories of one of the Warriors.

According to the rules, no one could directly attack the Main City. Each of the Four Clans had started with one side on the farthest corner from the main city b

The Xi Clan invaded from the Southern Side. The Yu Clan from the Northern Side, the Li Clan from the East and the Wei Clan from the West. With every passing day, all four of these clans were trying to reach the Main City while trying to secure as many cities as possible.

The winning criteria wasn't just taking over the main city. It was also about how many Alchemists they could capture and how many cities they could control. This was the only reason the clans were moving slower. They didn't want to miss any Prisoners.

At this moment, Alchemists were the most sought after people. In fact, the Four Clans also provided rewards if any citizen of the captured City was to give up any information about the alchemists hiding in the city.

Many citizens hated the intruders, but there were a lot more who were willing to expose the identity of all the Alchemists simply for rewards.

Some people saw it as an opportunity to get into the good books of the intruders as it was clear that they were going to be the new rulers of this world. If they could get in the good grace of the foreign clans, they could have more benefits than just a few rewards.

In the bar where Xu Shan was seated, an incident unfolded as an alchemist was apprehended mere moments ago. It was none other than the best friend of that Alchemist who brought the guards from the foreign clans to this bar and exposed the identity of that Alchemist.

Xu Shan observed as the alchemist was apprehended, showing no signs of resistance. The Alchemist understood that it was futile to resist, considering the overwhelming power of the Guard.

He simply looked at his friend with disbelief. He never expected that even his childhood friend would hand him over to the people who might kill him, all because of some greed.

"You can't blame me. You would've done the same if you were in my place." The man followed the Alchemist and the Guard, not a shred of regret on his face.

This was not just a singular occurrence, but rather a recurring theme observed across various cities. The pattern continued to unfold, with instances where friends, neighbors, and workers were the ones exposing the Alchemists. Occasionally, people were not exempt from this betrayal by their lovers.

Just like that, two more days passed. And the conquest continued. Each of the four clans had caught tens of thousands of Alchemists and all were sent back to their world where their scores were being kept.

Xu Shan simply observed and didn't interfere. He was curious to see what the people from this world were going to do. Were they just going to accept their fate? Were they going to fight to death? Or were they going to find something that could even shock him.

He was hoping for it to be the last option as until now, he hadn't seen any person worth paying attention to. So far, no heroes had risen in the face of this adversity, which was completely against his expectations.

A few more days passed. And just like that, one week was over and the enemy forces were almost at the Main City. There were only a few cities left between the conquering forces and the Main Fortress City where the strongest clan of this world was established.

Xu Shan found this entire battle to be getting boring as this world wasn't offering much resistance at all. Fortunately, on the eighth day it all changed... Something extraordinary happened that brought a smile to Xu Shan's face.
