Chapter Two Hundred and Fifty-Seven – "Grinding Godhood"
Crow stood at the edge of the newly opened Abyssal Rift, a dungeon known for high monster density and extreme experience yield. Its blackened sky pulsed with unstable mana, and the ground cracked with each beat of corrupted energy.
"This place is dangerous," Lyravex said, clinging to his side with her staff glowing. "But perfect for you, Master."
Rose, already summoning her blade, smiled. "I'll protect you. No matter what."
Crow ignored their affection and stepped into the rift. His title, Reincarnated Monarch, glowed faintly—activating his passive: Infinite Growth.
Waves of monsters poured from the shadows—twisted beasts, corrupted dragons, even mutated angels.
Crow's eyes flashed. "Perfect."
He raised his hand, activating his new SSSSS-Rank Elemental Control skill.
In an instant, fire, lightning, earth, ice, and wind converged into a roaring vortex. The ground split, lightning rained, and the monsters screamed as they were annihilated in seconds.

Behind him, Lyravex and Rose stared in stunned silence, then nearly tackled him with praise.
"You're amazing, Master!" Lyravex squealed.
Rose leaned in closer. "Call me your good girl now… please?"
Crow just sighed and continued deeper into the rift, where a hidden boss stirred.
He wasn't finished yet.
