Overlord Tamer: All My Pet Monsters Have God Potential
Chapter 150: The Calamity

Chapter 150: The Calamity

’What?!’

[Azelis: Demons?!]

[Jibril: So demons do exist?!]

John, Azelis, and Jibril were shocked at Chuthulos’ reveal.

’Wait, so humans are not the dominating race of this Primostria Cosmoverse? Instead, it’s the demons?’

[Chuthulos: Correct. Humans are weaker than Monsters and Demons. Demons are strongest because the way they use Monsters is more advanced because of their racial talents. Not to mention that the Demon Gods are the ones who created the new law in this Cosmoverse to be able to tame Monsters.]

Outside, the fifteen demons with exotic horns and other physical features different from each other arrived on the floating island, led by three demons at the front who clearly exuded a stronger aura.

This huge commotion of sky tearing apart was bound to attract other forces, so their Sovereign-rank leaders also arrived.

"So, what is your answer?" the leading demon with two curvy horns and a full-body dark red armor with silver and black patterns asked as he stood at the forefront of the group.

"What kind of catastrophe is coming? If you could explain it to us better, we can prepare," the Duraian family head calmly asked.

Internally, the family heads were talking with Magic Whisper in a common soul network to let everyone hear everyone’s thoughts.

Naturally, they also included Mr. Sirius in it.

’Mr. Sirius, we had heard about the demons, and that a third continent existed where they lived, but this is our first time seeing them.’

’Indeed. We only have rough records of them appearing sometimes in our history.’

"The catastrophe is something this world has experienced before. The last time it happened, a bit over a thousand years ago, almost all humans were wiped out. We demons also suffered a major loss, but not as much as you. This time, we must prepare and fight against the catastrophe’s root from the start."

"As for what this catastrophe is...in simple terms, it’s a Monster Tide."

"However, the scale of this tide and how it systematically comes makes it different from regular tides."

As the Demons explained about the catastrophe, everyone was surprised.

It turned out that the monsters of this catastrophe were considered ’Frenzied’, and they were relentless and bloodthirsty for humans and demons.

This monster tide would last for many days, and the ’frenzied monsters’ would actively go to humans and demons to kill them.

[Chuthulos: So it’s like this...I guess this is the way Monster Gods retaliate. It makes sense now.]

’So they want to kill humans and demons?’

[Jibril: But why?]

[Chuthulos: Of course, it’s to get their worlds to their original state. This Cosmoverse favors monsters, not humans or demons. To them, humans and demons are invaders. Demons are stronger invaders since they have already established a law that gave them an advantage, and initial humans were most probably brought over here by the demons as well, since neither humans nor demons originated from this cosmoverse.]

[Azelis: Damn...]

’Damn, indeed.’ John wryly smiled.

"Alright, we understand the calamity and that it’s a pressing matter." Lockham family head said as he narrowed his eyes. "And since you arrived here, you must also have made arrangements on how we could help against this, right?"

"Of course, it’s better to avoid conflict between us in the face of a greater threat, so please don’t make threats about taking over our powers," Skyban sect’s Sovereign-rank cyan-haired female leader calmly stated.

From behind the demon leader, a female demon with long-braided flaming blue hair coldly snorted, "Humans, you should know your place first. In terms of power, we are far stronger than you. To us, the incoming monster tide is just a great threat, but to you, it’s an extinction event. Know the difference."

Another demon added with a sneer. "At least your resources and everything won’t go to complete waste if we take it, because without us, the chance of you all surviving against the calamity is the same as it was over a thousand years ago. Zero."

The faces of Sovereign-rank leaders and other Tamers were not good after hearing that.

"Enough," the leader demon said as he raised his hand. Eyeing the people in front of him, he calmly said, "We have made arrangements to fight against the upcoming calamity. In fact, because of the previous calamity, we demons now live on the same soil from where the calamity originated, so we could face it better next time."

"So the third continent does exist?" Razorshade Syndicate’s middle-aged Sovereign-rank leader said as he caressed his beard.

"It does. It’s the biggest continent out of the three continents we have in this world. There were initially two continents, but due to the previous calamity, one of them was separated, which later turned into your Gratar Continent while the main part of it remained as the Undernight Continent where we live."

Everyone digested the information with surprise.

The leader demon narrowed his eyes as they glinted with red-violet gleams. "We have made a great barrier and border to separate our place from the calamity’s origin point. Due to the recent changes we’ve observed, we have confirmed that the calamity is inbound after twenty-five days."

"Twenty-five days only?!"

"That’s so soon."

The leader demon ignored the mumbles of humans and continued speaking, "The monster tide will come from our continent in massive numbers if we fail to stop them there. The monsters of this tide will also turn other monsters into frenzied monsters once they leave our continent and when that happens, consider yourselves destroyed. So to prevent the catastrophic consequences, everyone has to unite and come to the Undernight continent to fight at the border."

"Alongside the calamity, there will also be spirit phenomena in abundance."

"You risk your life at the border, and you can keep whatever you find in the 350-kilometer diameter area at the corner of our continent, from where the frenzied monster will come. We have termed this area as the Calamity Region, and if you don’t want to come there, kindly contact your superiors to hand over your stuff and resources."

"Our superiors? Do you know about them?" Dreamforged Guild’s leader asked, his eyebrows raised.

"We don’t know, and we are not interested in knowing your superiors," the leader demon flatly said, his expression as deadpan as it had been since the start. "We also have big organizations in higher-ranked worlds. Just know that if you do not cooperate, we will only protect ourselves and let the frenzied monsters out, who then will turn all other monsters in the wild into bloodthirsty monsters with the goal of eradicating you."

"These islands will be the first ones to get destroyed when the aquatic monsters turn frenzied and invade the islands where humans live."

Everyone’s expression changed.

’Welp, the demons have us by the balls,’ John internally said with a chuckle.

[Chuthulos: Yes. And it’s also true that they will survive. They use monsters in a more brutal way, as well as a new method of using them that humans can’t, which makes them stronger than humans in combat.]

’I see.’

Stepping forward, Mr. Sirius spoke up first, "I can’t tell about the other people here, but I will cooperate and help you."

’Now I am interested in the demons.’

The other leaders were slightly taken aback at Mr. Sirius’s response, but then it made sense. Mr. Sirius had no problem helping them out as he would also gain more in exchange, considering his profession and also his prowess that gave him confidence of escaping from anywhere.

"Good. As for the rest of you, contact your superiors to send help as much as possible if they don’t want to get all humans eradicated in this world. We have also created a whole military system for better and organized war against the calamity, as well as to reward individuals for their performance."

Waving his hand, the leader demon took out a palm-sized silver square device and threw it in the training ground beside the second residential pavilion.

A second later, the square device opened up in a strange way with lighting patterns on it and a 10-radius giant portal formed above it.

"This portal will lead you directly to our continent’s recipient zone, which is behind our military zone. I want your support and reinforcement to be there in twenty days."

After saying that, the leader demon paused briefly before saying, "The rest is up to you all."

Waving his hand, all the demons turned into lights that shot into the spatial tear in the sky and vanished.

The spatial tear also disappeared.

Everyone digested the information as they looked at the portal in the training ground.

’Welp, if I escape now and never appear again, then all people of this continent are doomed.’

[Chuthulos: If those demons don’t come back here, then yeah...]

[Azelis:...]

[Jibril:...]

’Haha, I am joking, of course.’

Outside, the Sovereign-rank leaders only briefly talked and then left, going straight up in the sky to cross the doom veil and relay the information about the demons and calamity to their superior.

Emperor-rank representatives of their forces remained on the island to talk with Mr. Sirius.

"Mr. Sirius, in light of the upcoming calamity, I wonder if you have some things to sell us?" Dazmira asked with a smile. "We would be grateful if you decided to do some business with us."

"Indeed. Given this situation, I am sure the high-ups will send more reinforcements. A lot more Sovereign-rank Tamers will be alive, and this world will become more lively." Zevak of Magnus Coin Consortium said as he brightly smiled and added. "Surely, you can do some business, right?"

"I would, but the policy is policy," Mr. Sirius said with a rather cheeky smile. "I will only sell products to my customers. I have taken their precious gift and established a partnership, so I can only sell them. If they want to sell it to you, it’s their and your business."

"However, I can arrange for my personal auction later when we have more audience, as you said."

Hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up.

Mr. Sirius’s personal auction?!

"So you will hold an auction when our reinforcements arrive here?"

"Indeed." Mr. Sirius smiled and nodded. "But before that, I would like to conduct business with the Duraian family, so I hope we can get some privacy."

And so, everyone except for the Duraians left.

John sold three items to Duraians: two artifacts and a special-rank card that appeared in the shop for the first time. The card could instantly evolve a monster into another form in the same rank. It was a great item, but John had better ways to evolve Monsters, so he sold the card.

After gaining a fortune, John spent Sovereign-rank coins to speed up the growth of the Trees.

Initially, he could wait for two days for 100 random Sovereign-rank trees to bear fruit, but with this news, he decided to speed up things.

Spending 220,000 Sovereign Essence Coins, John reduced 2 days from 100 trees as they bore the fruits instantly.

This time, the haul was 892 Sovereign-rank fruits, slightly more than the previous haul.
