Draco stood above the ruined city below, a light flashing in his eyes. He increased the output of this Destruction Energy barrier and created a large space of about 30 meters around him that was devoid of the grey rot.
He then landed at the entrance of the city and glanced at the name. It was called "Omnipotent City", which should have been the name of the pantheon that formerly ruled this place. Draco scoffed and walked in while assessing the place.
In terms of size, it was smaller than Supreme City by many tiers and its development was also lacking. After all Supreme City was the most resplendent city in the Divine Realm, whether it was now or in the old era.
Still, there was much value to this ruined city that Draco found interesting. For one, the grey rot only corroded living beings and things with lifeforce like plants, grass, animals. Non-living things could perfectly withstand its effect, or were even immune to it.
As such, Draco opened up many buildings and surveyed through them , finding many things. Divine items and equipment that were left behind by True Gods who were too slow to move them away, a huge amount of Aether coins, and crystals, as well as many interesting little trinkets with all sorts of functions.
Draco naturally took them all, because even if he couldn't use them, someone in his family could. If not his family, then his guild. If not his guild, then his kingdom or future pantheon.
Speaking of future pantheon…
Draco rubbed his chin. He had another goal for coming out here, and that was to find a relatively far place from Supreme City to clear with Sheerpressure and then claim it as his own. Since the Supreme Pantheon complained about costs and whatnot, they couldn't be mad if he repaired the land himself after clearing it right?
Then he would build his pantheon on that land and establish his own city to be a frontier. It was necessary because just a few minutes ago, he had received a message from Eva that his three beauties were at Rank 7 and would likely become True Gods soon.
However, that was not as pressing as the fact that his core members had already conquered 75% of the former main plane boundaries - which was halved due to the expansion after update 3, meaning it was 37.5% overall - and had reached Rank 6 each.
By the time they completed the entire main plane, they would likely have reached the peak of Rank 7 and would be ready to become True Gods. When his 50 or so core members came up here, their power alone would be enough to turn this entire place upside down, and Draco was definitely looking forward to it.
They even sent him details of their Rank Ups through the guild system as a form of boasting, which left him amused. If he showed then his Eternal class details, would they shit their pants or would they pee the bed?
He decided to check it later. Right now, it was time to 'drop the bomb'.
This city was not his target, so he finished looting it and then rose into the air once more. Using his bloodline now, he opened a space portal and walked though, intending to go as far as he could in the opposite direction.
Due to the sealing of his bloodline, its potency wasn't as great as when they were in the real world nor when they were in the Eternal World, so when Draco came out, he only felt like his previous location was extremely distant.
However, despite his expectations, he did not cross over to the literal other side of the world. Draco looked around and calculated his spatial coordinates. He ascertained that he was very far north, the opposite direction of the Supreme City which was established near the southernmost end of the Divine Realm.
The concentration of grey rot in this area was slightly higher than around Supreme city, but not by much. This was because the origin of the grey rot was far to the west, so it spread to the north and south at an equal speed.
So the west was choked with the most potent grey rot while the east had the thinnest concentration. Draco guessed that this was likely where the AI dumped those True Gods from the main plane and also where the other pantheons that weren't destroyed - like Sigurd's pantheon - were hiding.
He shook his head and glanced around. It was a typical wasteland like area and he could not see any nearby cities or signs of ruined civilization in the four cardinal directions. This satisfied him greatly as Draco pointed upwards with a smile.
Immediately, the sky cracked the the moon came down while infused with the Law of Malevolent Darkness. Draco was scared to use the Law of True Destruction because he wasn't sure any conventional methods could repair the land after that.
BANG!
The area was finally cleared for takeover. Dante received another huge amount of Divine Essence as well as Aether Coin and items drops. He greedily took everything and kept it in his inventory while taking out his Pantheon Establishment Token.

Draco's expression changed. He was suddenly filled with endless hatred towards Kilobar and that fucking Supreme Pantheon because it was clear from this that they had throughly fleeced him!
Look at how much was being charged here and how much was charged there for the same thing! This one even included restoring the land and then building the actual pantheon itself!
Draco watched as the pantheon slowly rose from the ground with cold eyes but he decided to clam himself by checking the stuff his core members sent earlier to distract himself.
