Omnipotent Overlord

The night found Dorado and Galt sitting close while fiddling with the bluish Life Pearl. 

“Brother, is this pearl’s recovery speed that much better than Nine-headed race’s Grand Light Sutra?”

“Of course.” Dorado nodded, “Endless Night has been a dark planet since the beginning, so how could life appear here without a star to shine on it?

“I heard from a Drow ancestor that their race had lasted so long in this dark place because of this Life Pearl.

“Life Pearl is an ancient sacred item. Legend has it that the Life Pearl is capable of creating life out of thin air.

“If it can do that, what’s there to say about simple recovery?”

“Makes total sense.” Galt bobbed his head.

Dorado grabbed a Hexamand soldier and pulled two arms off.

The soldier cried in shock and pain. Dorado then touched the broken arms with the Life Pearl and in five seconds, the stumps regrew into arms. 

Just as new!

“That is Life Pearl’s power!”

“A godly item!” Galt cried out.

“Not yet. Across the vast universe, there are only three godly items, those that surpass imperial items, Staff of Origin, Origin Heart and Pearl of Creation.”

Galt said, “What are they? Is the Life Pearl no match for them?”

Galt was stronger than Dorado, but his wisdom, knowledge and experience were outstripped by Dorado.

“None whatsoever. In this world, no magic weapon, sacred item or imperial item can hold a candle to those three godly items!

“Staff of Origin is known as the time sacred item. With it, one can change fate, change time! But splintered as it is in countless shards, it has less than a thousandth of its real power.

“Origin Heart is a live and beating heart that existed since the dawn of time. As far as I know, the Origin Heart can live inside any being’s chest, except snow people.

“Regardless of who, be it a common person, all would find their lives extended by ten thousand years upon having it.

“The Origin Heart also provides incredible cultivation speed regardless of their talent. They would become overlords in the universe.

“Any Origin Heart user, almost any, had lived no less than a few hundred thousand years.”

Galt said, “For us, even ten thousand is already a miracle!”

There were thousands upon thousands of races in the universe, but only an infinitesimal fraction could enjoy living for ten thousand years. The rest could only go for five thousand at most. 

The ten strong races were no different.

“Pearl of Creation can create a world out of nothing. Anything you imagine will come to pass. Be it swimming birds, flying fish, all you think of will happen in that world.”

Galt exclaimed, “Awesome…”

“Yeah, awesome.”

“Then where are they?”

“No one knows. But I reckon the higher ups have us destroy Earth in relation to these three godly items.”

Galt’s eyes shined, “You mean Earth has a godly item?”

Dorado nodded.

“Dorado, do you know why I enjoy being your partner? Because you’re just too damn smart.”

“Galt, you aren’t bad yourself, just that you don’t want to use your head.”

“Why would I do that when I have you around?”

Dorado laughed, “This is an easy guess. Why else would a coalition of thousands of aliens form to destroy Earth who has no higher life forms?

“Why else would those geezers join up if not for the godly items?”

“Who cares? Once I get my hands on them none of those guys will get them!”

Whoosh~

From the black earth, countless black roots burst, tying up everyone, strangling them, then piercing them…

“What’s going on?”

Someone cried.

The black roots were swift, attacking every soldier camp and running through the unfortunate ones.

“To the skies!”

Dorado ordered.

Whoosh~

The black roots kept extending, covering the entire ground.

The Elven Queen held her staff as she flew over in rage.

Galt cried, “What’s the Elven Queen doing out?”

“She’s scary…”

Dorado glanced at the ground littered with pierced corpses and frowned.

More than a hundred thousand died at the Elven Queen’s magic.

“She killed so many of us.”

“You may be strong, but I’m not weak either!”

Galt snorted, glowing golden and shot for her.

Whoosh~

The Elven Queen pointed her staff and ten thousand roots shot from the ground. Yet Galt didn’t even try to dodge since the roots couldn’t pierce his armor. 

“Oh, queen, who knew you to be in the ninth level. But even at a level above me, I win in terms of traits!“

“In the name of the elves, grow!”

He was about to strike her when countless roots started growing on him and had him sealed in a cocoon.

Since piercing was out, the seeds left behind by the attack were enough to trap him through Elven Queen’s magic. 

Galt struggled, but found unable to break through the tough roots.

“Curses…”

“Reverse growth!”

At her urging, the roots began growing inside the seal, through the nose, mouth, and pores… 

“Ugh…”

Galt groaned in fright. He was invincible in body, but it didn’t apply to his organs. 

“Your Grace!" Dorado cried out.

Dorado stood at a cage, his hand holding a Drow and then popping his head.

“Let my people go!” Elven Queen was enraged, giving up on Galt and shooting for Dorado.

“Stop!”

Dorado grabbed another Drow, and the queen froze.

“Stop, Elven Queen!”
