God Simulator: The Goddesses In The Simulation Are All Real

With the goal of subduing all Level 9.8 Overlords in the Diviner World, Linsley focused on the monster continents as his next target.

The Diviner World was known to have a total of thirteen Level 9.8 Overlords—six from the human race and seven from the monster race, confirmed by longstanding records and sightings.

In terms of raw power, the monster race held a significant advantage over humans and could likely obliterate humanity if they united under a single cause. Yet this was highly unlikely, as the monster race was far from unified.

While many monster clans were aggressive, not all of them had any interest in conflict with humans; some, particularly the herbivorous clans, preferred a peaceful existence.

The monster race's strength came from its inherently longer lifespan, allowing monsters to gain power gradually and often surpass human Overlords purely through longevity.

Unlike humans, who needed constant breakthroughs to achieve high ranks before their limited lifespan ended, monsters had a natural advantage, which allowed their strongest to remain relevant across centuries.

Monsters reaching Level 8 and beyond could take human form, making it nearly impossible for humans to detect their true identity unless the observer had a specialized perception-based gift.

Consequently, Level 9.8 Overlords from the monster race could hide within human territories if they wished, blending in among humans seamlessly.

Linsley was aware that some of the Level 9.8 monster Overlords might already be disguised as humans on the human continents. However, he resolved to address any such threats after first conquering the four monster continents.

Furthermore, although there were thirteen Level 9.8 Overlords on the surface, those were only the ones confirmed to have reached that level.

For example, the Devouring Whale Overlord was believed to have only reached the power of a Level 9.7 Overlord, yet when Linsley encountered him, he had already become one of the Level 9.8 powerhouses in the monster race.

In other words, it was possible that there were other Level 9.8 Overlord powerhouses hidden within both the human race and monster race, likely those who concealed their power or lived in seclusion.

'Although there are nine continents in the Diviner World, those are just the ones discovered by the human race. It's possible there are even more continents, especially monster continents, since some monsters could hide an entire landmass with their power.'

'Anyway, no matter how powerful they are, reaching Level 9.9 is impossible. That level of power is basically illusory and unattainable, as if the world's laws are incomplete and won't allow it.'

'Otherwise, if Level 9.9 could exist, it wouldn't just be me; other Level 9.8 Overlords would have already reached it due to their talent and centuries of accumulation, especially those long-lived monsters.'

'But from the countless plots I've read in novels and fiction, it doesn't make sense for Level 9.9 not to exist. It could mean that, in some ancient era, someone destroyed the world's laws, leaving them incomplete and unable to allow Level 9.9 Overlords.'

'Of course, it's also possible that Level 9.9 Overlords existed but that the requirements to reach it are absurdly difficult, almost impossible. Maybe someone reached it in a past era, but so far, no one has in the current era—unless they're one of those Overlords hiding their true power.'

Even with the possibility of a Level 9.9 Overlord existing in the Diviner World, Linsley wasn't too concerned.

His Faith Diviner Power (Purple) talent was the key to defeating those stronger than him. It would likely even be the very thing that allowed him to break through the bottleneck and become a Level 9.9 Overlord.

As long as the Sinclair Order could spread throughout the Diviner World, Linsley was confident that the accumulated faith power would be enough to make him a Level 9.9 Overlord.

"With my current power, defeating Level 9.8 Overlords is easy. So rather than sitting around in the Sinclair Order doing nothing, I might as well subdue the Level 9.8 Overlords in the four monster continents."

After deciding this, Linsley immediately created a Locator Compass 2.0 using his Real Fantasy gift.

The Locator Compass 2.0 could point to anything he wanted to find. If he wanted treasure, it would lead him to it. The same went for locating the Level 9.8 Overlords of the four monster continents.

Linsley had already dealt with the Devouring Whale Clan in the Devouring Whale Ocean, and he figured the rest of the four monster continents wouldn't be much different, aside from having more cannon fodder.

The four monster continents were similar to the five human continents in that each was dominated by a Level 9.8 Overlord.

The Gale Continent had formerly been dominated by the Gale Overlord, and likewise, each of the four monster continents had its own Level 9.8 Overlord.

Of course, some of the monster continents might have more than one Level 9.8 Overlord, but Linsley didn't care; whether one or many, it wouldn't change anything since he was virtually invincible at his level.

A prolonged battle against him was also impossible since he had back-up flux storages on Sinclair Order Island that he could draw from whenever his flux ran low in the middle of a fight.

With the Locator Compass 2.0 ready, navigation was no longer an issue. Now, the only decision left was which of the four monster continents to conquer first.

Recalling the world's history, Linsley muttered, "There are four monster continents in the Diviner World: the Dragon Continent, Bear Continent, Fierce Monster Continent, and Bird Continent."

The names of the four monster continents were given by humans, not by the monsters themselves.

For instance, the Dragon Continent was populated by powerful dragons. The Bear Continent was ruled by the Space Bear Clan, while the Bird Continent was dominated by airborne creatures like the Phoenix Clan.

On the other hand, the Fierce Monster Continent was somewhat similar to the Bear Continent in that it hosted a variety of monster clans. However, unlike the Bear Continent, the Fierce Monster Continent wasn't ruled by just one clan but rather by several, such as the White Tiger Clan and the Golden Lion Clan.

Additionally, many monsters lived in the oceans and weren't counted among the four monster continents, like the Devouring Whale Clan.

Recalling the types of monsters that populated those four continents, Linsley pondered, 'Now that I think about it, there are too many monsters. It seems humanity has only survived because the monster race isn't as united as humans are.'

'And I wonder why monsters exist in the first place, given that only humans can awaken gifts. Although monsters themselves are awakened by flux, their origin might not be as straightforward as that.'
