Chapter Eighty-Four
Without wasting a second, Crow summoned his Eclipse Dragon of the Endless Skies.
In a single flap of its enormous wings, they soared toward the ancient ruins where the next Divine hidden quest awaited.
Lilith floated behind him with a smile that promised destruction.
Sasha, Aeris, Elizabeth, Briony, Ignara, Vaeril, Seraphis, Lyra, Daphne, Selene, Amara, Celeste, Fiona, Mira, Luma, Saphira, Kira, and Elowyn — all of Crow's Divine-ranked forces — followed like an unstoppable fleet of beauty and death.
Below them, armies of players watched in confusion and terror.
None dared to approach.
Arriving at the crumbling ruins, Crow used Eye of Insight once more.
A hidden mechanism triggered.
The ground shook.
An enormous stone door cracked open, revealing a staircase spiraling deep underground.
He calmly descended alone.
The air grew thick with mana.
At the bottom, a massive throne made of intertwined vines and crystals waited.
Sitting atop it was a sleeping woman — her skin blue as the sea, her hair flowing like waves.
Above her floated shimmering text:
[Divine Rank Unit - Nerina, Empress of Tides]
Status: Dormant - Requires Ocean's Tear to awaken.
Crow smirked.
He already had what was needed.
From his Pocket Dimension, he summoned a shining sapphire droplet: the Ocean's Tear, a treasure he had bought for cheap days ago when no one understood its value.
He dropped it onto the woman's forehead.
Immediately, a tidal wave of energy erupted.
The woman's eyes opened — pure aquamarine, ancient and wise.
She knelt instantly before Crow without hesitation.
"Command me, my King of Endless Skies."
System Notifications exploded in his mind:
[You have acquired Divine Rank Unit: Nerina, Empress of Tides!]
[Water Attribute Units gain +30% Attack and Speed permanently.]
Back on the surface, Crow emerged casually, Nerina floating gracefully behind him, water swirling around her ankles.
Lilith instantly narrowed her eyes at Nerina.
Nerina simply smiled sweetly, but her aura flexed subtly, declaring war.
Crow ignored the tension.
Divine Units competing for his attention was normal now.
He gave them each a brief head pat.
Peace was restored — temporarily.
Rising into the skies once more, Crow thought coldly:
"Two Divine Units in one day. Soon, I'll rule this entire world."
