The shining green emerald is filled with natural earth energy which is something that would be treasured of not only mages but royalty as well. Peridot rose to the sky and gathered all the earth elemental energy in the surrounding. Levin Cloud told her to only provide support, but she could destroy the land by herself.
In many legends in the world, dragons are also beings of destruction especially when they are angry. They are powerful beings that could either bring prosperity or destruction depending on their demeanor. Peridot filled the gem with not only earth elemental magic but also the magic of the dragons that are their raw power.
Dragons are being that forcefully control magic which is why they can use mana in any way they want. Peridot just uses a catalyst as it makes the spell faster in casting and also less burden to her body instead of just relying on her dragon tongue. The mythical tier emerald could be seen cracklings with intense energy that it manifested into sparks of power.
"Great Fissure!" Peridot stated as she slammed the emerald into the ground.
As if lightning struck the ground, the emerald smashed into the sands and released a thundering roar that shook the surroundings. Levin Cloud gave a thumbs up to Peridot as he could feel the ground split open. One would think that a being of Peridot's level would only be able to split the ground in a small hole but that is not true.
Peridot is still a Ryujin when all is said, and they are famed dragons that control the elements. She is also one of the only ones that has affinity towards all the elements. She did not exaggerate when she shouted Great Fissure because she created a large crevice.
The crevice actually stretched to at least a hundred meters which made all the creatures hiding in the sands rose up. The erratic monsters aimed their hostility towards the beings that are present when they became unearthed. All of them started to fight against the monsters but most of them were scared when the hidden presence below the bedrock emerged.

"What is happening?" The God Loki asked as he cannot see beyond the sands of the western continent.
"It seems that a dragon is destroying the earth above us. Your pursuers are not ordinary people as you have told. I will make sure that they do not interrupt our process because this would be an important situation for us." The Shadow of Apophis stated as he peered onto the small crack that first appeared.
The Shadow of Apophis immediately rose up when the crevice created by Peridot was big enough. The sudden appearance of the Shadow of Apophis shocked the Levin Cloud and the others, but they immediately knew what to do. They immediately prepared for battle as Soleil immediately created a flaming tornado to give them enough time.
[The Shadow of Apophis has surfaced and have been detected by the Gods of the Western Continent.]
[All beings that were summoned by the Western Gods will be transported to the location of the Shadow of Apophis in ten seconds.]
[The energy of the Distorted God Apophis is also in the area where the Shadow of Apophis has been sensed.]
A notification popped up to all the players that accepted the quest to defeat the Distorted God Apophis. All of the players did not even have enough time to prepare as they were all transported to the location all of a sudden. Not all players that accepted the quest was teleported as some of them were not logged in.
Those that were not logged in were given notifications in their devices that the Distorted God Apophis has appeared. The players were greeted by the Shadow of Apophis coming out of a huge fissure that suddenly appeared in the western continent. The fissure was big, but the size of the Shadow of Apophis was quite large as well.
"Followers! Kill the ones that have become pawns of the weak gods!" The Shadow of Apophis stated as numerous Followers of Apophis came out of the fissure as well to support the black serpent.
"Everyone, get ready to fight!" One of the players shouted as he seems to be one of the rankers that was present.
All of the players charged towards the enemies as they were given the opportunity to kill the Shadow of Apophis now. It might be powerful, but it has been weakened significantly by the previous fight. They believed that they would be enough to kill the Shadow of Apophis and end this world quest in one go.
The players are right because the Shadow of Apophis has not returned to its peak power unlike before when it took years to become that powerful. The Shadow of Apophis has the strength of a demigod at this point which means it is weaker compared to before. Although, the Shadow of Apophis is not alone because there are other allies or rather beings that it has already corrupted along with the God Shesmu.
Three golden pillars that is infected with sinister energy suddenly appeared near the Shadow of Apophis. This came from the three avatars that have already signed a contract of subservience to the Distorted God Apophis. The three avatas are none other than the Avatar of Babi, Avatar of Ahti, and the Avatar of Menhit.
The players that were charging recklessly and that did not have enough power to counter avatars died with just a few swings of the weapons from the three corrupted avatars. All of this was happening without the others knowing that the real danger was still being hidden beneath the fissure.
"We should go beneath the fissure now that they are being our distraction." Levin Cloud stated as he could see that they were no longer the center of attention when the other players arrived.
"How? The body of that huge serpent is basically filling up the hole while most of it is being protected by the enemy." Creepysoo asked.
The entire fissure had enemies coming out of it as the full force of the enemy seems to be hiding in the tunnels below. If they were to try and dive into the hole, then they would surely be noticed by the enemies. They would not be able to go without getting attention of the players or the enemy.
"Do you guys want to experience the flower express?" Levin Cloud stated with a smile.
Even though Levin Cloud asked, he actually already used the skill as a large flower suddenly appeared next to each of his allies. The large flower swallowed his team members and vanished into the ground. Levin Cloud did not use the skill on himself as he just transformed himself into roots that seeped into the ground.

"Is it not yet finished?" The Distorted God Apophis asked as it seems that patience is no longer its virtue.
The Distorted God Apophis might have waited long years for this to happen, but it suddenly became impatient now that its plan has been set in motion. It could not believe a mere puppet would actually delay its plans. The Distorted God Apophis does not know that humans are beings with great wills because it only views those lower than it as ants that should serve it.
"Your vessel is tougher than I thought. Still, she would break down eventually. The signal would be when she releases tears. That is the time that you can truly devour her." The God Loki stated.
Just as the two godlike beings were observing the vessel on her hardships, large flowers suddenly bloomed on top of the cave ceiling. Frey, Solstice, Soleil, Peridot and Creepysoo emerged from the flowers and saw the vessel of Apophis. Levin Cloud did not show up immediately as he was taking his time to see if he could interrupt whatever is happening to the vessel.
"We have guests. I have already interfered enough, and I can no longer help you at this point. Should I do more then I would be hit by the world providence." The God Loki stated as he stepped behind the Distorted God Apophis.
"A bit useless but I do appreciate what you have done." The Distorted God Apophis muttered which slightly angered the God Loki, but the latter must keep his cool as the former is as powerful as Odin in its full strength.
"You think that you are powerful when you have played right into my schemes." The God Loki stated as he fully vanished as he left the area since he might get caught up in the fight. If that happens then all the things that he has done would be for nothing.
The Distorted God Apophis knew that most of the followers left here would not be able to perfectly defend against the beings that appeared before it. As soon as the Distorted God Apophis saw a slight tear falling down on Thueban's face, it immediately went for the vessel and devoured her.
