Blaze looked at the red notification floating before him. He vanished and appeared before the Divine Realm gate, and it had the same requirement.{Didn't know it had something like that.}He went back to Selene and told him about it. She contemplated over it and said, "You need only one more person to access the floor?"He nodded, to which she smiled and said, “I want to be strong enough to protect my loved one.”Her cheeks reddened when she uttered those words, while Blaze's eyes flashed, the rings in them rotating as he asked, "What do you desire, Selene Hawthorne?"Notifications appeared before Selene, but her eyes were on Neo as she said, "To protect my loved one."『 Selene Hawthorne's Desire: Power.』『 -1,000 to all stats. 』{A/N (Not from Luck, Perception, and Willpower)}.『 -30 Chaos Point.』『 Entering Evolution.』Nether Energy started gathering around her, and she was fully covered by it, like a cocoon.

『 Received: Merge.』『 Received: Combine.』『 Received: Blood of Transcendent.』『 Received: Regenerative Genesis.』『KX9C9 have etched.』『 All stats have been promoted.』『 Collector has held his end of the bargain.』The darkness receded and everything cleared up as Selene opened her eyes. Everything about her changed once more.With a flawlessly sculpted face, Selene's cheekbones were high and defined, lending her a regal air. Her skin became smooth and porcelain, glowing with a gentle radiance, akin to moonlight kissing her complexion. Although pale, her skin emanated a warm and inviting aura.Her eyes were truly mesmerizing, shimmering like precious sapphires. A deep shade of blue with red glowing from time to time. It's as if Selene locked her gaze with someone she could see into their very soul, revealing secrets and understanding beyond one’s comprehension.Her hair cascading down in waves. Selene's lustrous locks possess a celestial quality. Touched by the ethereal glow of the star
Philip hadn’t even finished his sentence when everything in the room started trembling, everything was enveloped in a pressure so strong that even taking a breath in there was proving to be difficult, it can squish a person like an ant, but Philip stood there like a rod which wouldn’t bend. He kept his stare on the guy, the senior also stared at him for a while. The stand-off remained for a while before the senior removed that pressure, he leaned against the chair as he sighed. "You are a good guy, Philip. Don't involve yourself in this mess." Philip looked at the senior for a while, standing there for a moment before leaving his office. He was very disappointed by what was happening and even more so that their department, whose sole purpose was to prevent such situations, was allowing it to happen. "What happened, captain?" Diana followed Philip, who was thinking about what to do next. "A hunt" Diana was confused at first about what he meant, but then her expression changed dras

Neo kept his eyes on the host for a while, while the host maintained his smile. He then walked back toward Selene and sat next to her, waiting for the first round to start. The leader of rock folks also came out of his daze and went back to his seat, still trembling by what he experienced. His companions were the same as the Fear Aura enveloped everyone of them. They didn't utter a word, in case it irritated the devil and he would use that skill/ability on them again. Neo looked at the participant and saw the arena trembling. He found the area of the arena increasing as the walls rose and a giant maze formed. 'Space Expansion?' {I would say Space Distortion.} Whatever it was, the arena expanded to a mile long and a mile wide as for the height. It was hundreds of meters high, but the participants and spectators outside could see everything like it was happening before their eyes. It was like they were walking alongside the participant.

"Let's add some fire into the mix." Blaze walked toward the hurricane, carefully to not get swept by it, but still got swept by, so he activated [Technomantic Shield.] It swung him around more and more up. The crowd was stunned by this act of recklessness. He voluntarily entered the hurricane, which was strong enough to shred everything in that arena to pieces. Just then, they saw the wind hurricane slowly turning bright as it got caught on fire and the next instant, the wind hurricane turned into a fire tornado as everything in the arena got incinerated. Not even leaving the stones, as they also had become so hot that it felt like lava was flowing. The tornado stayed there for a while, but the host couldn't take it anymore and just harrumphed. The tornado went out like a candle as everything became clear to the spectators, and they saw the culprit standing in the "eye of the storm," his clothes regenerating, making females blush and males envious as they saw his physique. But Bl
But Neo didn't give it a chance to take a breather, as he arrived next to it, putting his head on the back of his head and smashing it into the ground. The host felt its vision blurring, and everything dizzy as it tried to make sense of things and tried to retaliate. It stood back up with a roar and attacked but only got gifted with a punch to the face, which should've broken the bones, but then even if it was weakened; it was a high rank evolver, so it could take some beating and Neo was counting on that as he kicked the guy away. The host finally got some time and roared once more before it attacked Neo. It punched, the target being his face, but alas, its whole life was built around magic skills and tricks, so it had little experience when it came to close quarter combat. Neo dodged and grabbed its arm in a lock and punched it from under the arm, an uppercut. The contact made its teeth clung together, because its tongue in between those teeth; it got cut as blood started coming o
{Might be!} 'How so?' {My knowledge of people's thought process is as good as taking a bucket of water out of the ocean to reduce its water level} Neo sat down as others were still going through their turns. He could feel the ground tremble as people unleashed their most powerful attacks to finish the other person. They were finally done as the wall covering him from all sides vanished, and he could see four more other than him, but their condition was not that good except a cloaked figure who was just standing there like this was nothing new to it.

He strolled with Selene, empty streets, crickets chirping, a peaceful wind blowing and the stars and moon in the sky gave the whole stroll a romantic feeling. Neo and Selene kept walking as he held her hand, a sweet smile on Selene's smile, which could melt even the Nether Iceberg. Neo felt a strange peace and said to her, "Thank you." They arrived at a small hill, waves crashing against its foot. Selene used her hand and slowly put the waving hair behind her ear, asking, "What for?" "Everything." "Didn't you already thank me?" "But it's still not enough." Neo sat down. Selene followed as she grasped his shoulder and put his head over her lap. A smile followed as she used her hand to massage her head. "You charmed me with this." A small chuckle left her mouth as she laughed lightly. Selene was a person who was conservative and that followed with her emotions as well, as she showed too little of them to anyone unless she was alone with Neo, as a smile could always be observed wh
"Kyrie, we need some information." (A/N Kyrie [Κύριε] means sir in ancient Greek.)"What would you like to know about?" Nikolaos asked as he took them to his house. His wife was preparing a meal for them as they sat down.Selene offered to help with preparing the meal, but Nikolas’s wife refused to let her do by telling them that making the guests work was frowned upon in their custom, which let her stop insisting."Is there any ship that sails to the depths?"Nikolaos smile vanished when he heard that and looked at Neo with a creased forehead, lines forming over it. He wanted to ask if Neo was joking, but seeing his calm face, which showed no lack of confidence; it showed no sign of any joke; he was serious."I don't think any ship here would even think about going to the outer circle, let alone the deep.""Why?”Neo asked; he became curious now. There were a lot of anomalies here, like everyone he met or saw till now were non-evolvers. Even the guards patrolling the area were only o
"Man, it's been over a year now." "Well, that's to be expected from that kind of difficulty." "Still, to challenge 10 Fables and still survive till now is unbelievable." "We are talking about the White Devil. He's bound to be that powerful." The blond guy with a giant sword on his back took a drag as he puffed the smoke out and said, "He wiped an entire household in one night. Staying alive should be easy-peasy for him." "I don't understand. From what the reports and news says, he is only a first rank evolver." "And?" "How can someone who just started learning the ropes could kill people from the family that have evolvers of stage 3 and 4 protecting them?" The other guy, who was wearing a hood and a pair of daggers on waist, said as he took a sip from the bottle. He still felt that the story was full of holes. "I don't know, man, but I heard he had an item that could change the shape of his weapon on his command plus the skill that caused white and red smoke coming out of his

Selene looked at Michael's frenzied look and then toward Neo, who was also looking at him with furrowed eyebrows, and said, “This would’ve been me if you weren’t there.” Selene remembered Neo’s anger when he grabbed a person by the jaws and tore his lower jaw before grabbing his spine and tore it out of his body. She shuddered when she remembered the bloodbath that took place at the Oswald household. A hand grasped hers, and she felt a warmth spreading through her body and came out of her thoughts. "Thank you." A smile appeared on her face when she heard that. Bang* Michael was finally sent back as Gresda took hold of his fading consciousness and used everything to get him off of his chest and panted, his head regenerating back. Even if he was immortal, he still felt pain. "You bastard! How are you still alive?" He looked at Michael. That bullet could've easily killed him in a matter of seconds, but just like Neo, he was also alive, which was impossible as the bullet was infuse
“Papa!” A little girl with twin-tail hair, big doll-like eyes, adorable dimples, and a beaming smile rushed to her father, Michael. He, too, smiled warmly, reaching out to lift her off the ground and twirl her around, making the little one laugh out loud. Her infectious laughter filled the cozy little house as they shared this joyful moment together. They kept on going until he heard a rebuke from Emma, making him stop. A warm smile was present on Emma's face when she saw the father-daughter duo playing and laughing. She walked slowly toward them as she saw the little girl getting down from Michael's embrace, still dizzy, but then ran around with Michael running after her as her giggles echoed in the house. She then hid behind her as she laughed and looked at Michael sneakily, who also stopped before Emma and gave her a warm smile, Emma picked the little girl and brought her in front of Michael as she asked, "So how should we punish her? Should we summon the tickle monster?" "Noooo
Seated upon the broken throne was a man with golden hair and eyes that seemed to glimmer with an otherworldly light. He gazed around, his expression unreadable, as if contemplating the echoes of an era. "Ugh, why did I have to agree to such a long period? I was already done in the first ten." He sat there, looking at the monster moving around mindlessly. "I wonder how high my view count is?" After entering this world, not only was his level suppressed to Level 99, he also lost contact with the other side. He knew it would happen, but he was bored now because his competitor died the moment he entered this continent, while the other one could not wake up unless someone opened the box. He had put a formation in that box, so if anyone opened it, he'd know. "This is boring." He said, slumping down on the throne with a lazy expression on his face. "Oh really? Let's make it fun then." A voice came next from the throne. Before he could do anything, a foot landed on him and he felt som
Everyone was looking at the beauty that just killed the "immortal" like it was an everyday walk for her, along with the words that she uttered while doing so cemented this thought in their mind."Where is he?"Selene asked Kenneth, who was also looking at her, taking some time to close his mouth, that was opened wide, and this was the first for him. He reeled in his astonishment and knew what the lady was asking about. He pointed toward a carriage, and the next instant that carriage blew into pieces and a body appeared before everyone. It was Neo's body that was suspended in the air with an old man sitting next to him, who was just as confused and was about to take action, but stopped when he heard the beautiful lady’s voice."Thank you."Selene said as she put her hand on Neo’s body and could feel a pulse so weak that it felt like it would go out in the next instant.She smiled ruefully. One can see her hands twitching when she put them over his heart and could feel a bullet penetrat
A warm light embraced their lost companions as they started disintegrating, and the golden motes of light started moving up, dispersing into the air.Kenneth looked at the dispersion motes of light before moving away toward the gate. He put his hand over it, trembling a little. Even a sturdy tree would shake when the strong winds blowing.He took a deep breath and focused. He could feel a dense amount of death energy in the room.Likewise, he started mumbling as he chanted in a low voice, and after its completion, he could see what was inside the room.What he saw made him raise his eyebrow in surprise as the room was fully covered in ice, like they entered an ice palace and in the center of the room was an ice coffin. He tried looking into the coffin, but his spell couldn't penetrate it, but he found the thing that they were looking for."How is it?"Emma arrived next to him, followed by Maria, Seth, Michael, and others."The Lich is not inside."This made them heave a relieved sigh,
