The Way of the Future: Age of Machines(Completed)

The Blight

1000 years ago, the world was once called the world of Tilleria.

A world with 5 large main continents with over 700 lands in total.

But the entire world was currently in war, all races all over Tilleria fought for years in blood. It was a beautiful and chaotic world.

One day, a star fell from the sky, and an unfortunate small country was destroyed, burned down completely.

This event shocked the world. Many famous mages and scholars went to investigate it, but besides the ruins of a country, they failed to find anything.

Weeks later, the mages concluded that the 'starfall' was a natural phenomenon and that it was not going to happen again in a while. According to them, it was normal for stars to fall occasionally.

There was nothing to worry, they said.

Until the Blight appeared.

Terrifying manaless beings that devoured everything they touched.

In just one day, they ate a small city. In one week, half a country was devastated, and in one month, the entire continent had been destroyed.

They devoured mana and swallowed souls. Magic was almost useless against them, and only the strongest mages were able to cast spells strong enough to threaten the monsters.

Before the terrifying enemy that threatened to destroy all the life on the planet, the main races formed an Alliance to combat them, a new international organization was formed known as the Council of Royals.

Humans, Beastmen, Elves, Demons, and other demi-humans. The races sent their strongest combatants and their most powerful armies to face the monsters. For the first time in history, the main races had joined hands.

The war was incredibly harsh. The number of deaths could be counted in billions, and the countries destroyed surpassed ten.

Two-thirds of the world powerhouses perished in battle. They sacrificed their lives to stop the Blight from advancing.

And then, the hero, the summoning hero from another world that still lives today ever since the first great war 1000 years ago also faced them.

With his power of an Apotheosis Demigod, he defeated billions but with the Blight's reproduction level, it was endless, sacrificing himself killing more than 80% of the Blight.

But it wasn't enough as the numbers grows every week onto the number that the sacrifing of the summoming hero was in vain.

The gods then sent an oracle.

They have send thousands of their finest warriors of angels facing the dark creatures, which it was still not enough.

Finally, the gods intervened.

The Blight, invaders of another world rejected by the mana. Only by annihilating them completely, turning their bodies into ashes, could peace be returned to the world.

So, the gods made the biggest sacrifice possible.

Few gods in the heavens stepped forward to bring an end to the cursed plague.

Ten gods fell in the day that years later would be known as Godsfall.

Each one of them used a very powerful magic spell in the continents affected by the Blight, burning their molecules in the process and finally erasing every trace of the Blight completely.

But the powerful magic used destroyed the land completely. The mana in a fifth of the world turned chaotic, making the climate harsh and killing the creatures unable to adapt.
