Chapter 18 - Chapter 18

The Awakening of the Black Heart

It happened at dawn.

Avalon Island was quiet—until the sky split into colors no one had ever seen.The oceans stilled. The winds froze. The stars above the Earth flickered like candles before bowing.

A pulse burst from Alex's body.

BOOM—

A wave of shadow and light swept across star systems—gentle, yet undeniable.

Every living being in the universe felt it.

A new god had been born.

Planets trembled, galaxies paused, and higher-dimensional beings turned their heads in shock.

Alex's Final Upgrade

Inside the training hall of Avalon Island, Alex stood bathed in a spiraling storm of shadow and divine aura.His system window flickered like a living being:

As the final percentage hit 100%, a burning sensation ignited in Alex's chest.

A new organ formed—black, pulsing, infinitely dense.

The Black Heart.

Every beat radiated enough power to bend reality.

Alex inhaled…and the universe inhaled with him.

The Wives Feel It

In different parts of the island:

Velgrynd and Velzard froze mid-flight as divine pressure shook the sky.

Grayfia dropped her tea, trembling from the overwhelming aura.

Albedo felt her wings flare uncontrollably.

Venelana's devil senses sharpened—fear and awe mixing.

Lucy nearly collapsed, feeling her soulmate's energy multiply.

Charmcaster clutched her grimoire as shadows answered Alex's call.

Looma sensed a new alpha-level power—greater than any she'd ever felt.

All at once, they whispered the same name:

"…Alex."

In an instant, every one of them teleported to the training hall.

The Confrontation

They found Alex standing at the center of a glowing sigil, eyes black and gold, aura stretching across galaxies.

Velgrynd stepped forward first.

Velgrynd:"Alex… what happened to you?"

Alex opened his hand, and shadows swirled lovingly around her.

Alex:"I finally completed my inheritance.I've become… something beyond multi-universal.A god."

Gasps erupted.

Velzard blinked.

Grayfia covered her mouth.

Albedo looked ready to faint in happiness.

Venelana's eyes softened in disbelief.

Lucy whispered, "A god… my Alex…"

Charmcaster stepped closer, touching his new aura.

Looma's warrior instincts made her kneel.

Alex's Eternal Request

Alex stepped toward them, expression gentle and warm despite the cosmic power radiating from him.

Alex:"I am immortal now…My age is fixed. My life is endless.But I don't want to walk eternity alone."

He materialized a glowing sphere—the item he took from the System Store.

It pulsed with red-gold light.

Alex:"This soul-link can connect your lifespan to mine.You will never grow old.You will never decay.You will live… with me.Forever."

The hall turned silent.

Shadows curled around each wife gently, like a lover's embrace.

Tears formed.

the Wives' Answer Velgrynd

stepped forward, placing her hand on his cheek."What is eternity worth if I'm not by your side? I accept."

Velzard

smiled proudly."You are my equal now. My eternity belongs to you."

Venelana

touched her heart."My love, I would cross ages for you. Of course I accept."

Grayfia

bowed with tears glistening."To serve you, to love you—forever is not long enough."

Albedo

burst into uncontrollable joy."ETERNITY WITH ALEX?! YES!"

Lucy Mann

hugged him tightly."If you want forever… then forever is what you'll have."

Charmcaster

smirked."Immortality with my husband? Sign me up."

Looma Red Wind

placed her fist over her heart."An eternal mate… is an honor."

The Eternal Bonding

Alex raised the shining sphere.

It dissolved into nine streams of light, each entering his wives' chests and merging into their souls.

Their auras flared:

Dragonfire

Devil energy

Divine light

Shadow mana

Magic

Warrior instinct

Each intertwined with Alex's shadow aura.

A cosmic bond formed—not chains, not domination—but pure connection.

A new message appeared:

[SOUL-BOND ESTABLISHED]

Alex + 8 WivesLifespan: ConnectedAging: StoppedImmortality: GrantedFate: Shared

The Universe Reacts

A shockwave rippled outward.

Gods across dimensions felt it.

Ancient entities paused.

The Primordials turned their attention toward Earth.

The universe whispered:

"Eight queens have joined the new Shadow God."

 Aftermath — The Family Moment

Once the light faded, the wives surrounded Alex in a warm embrace.

Velgrynd rested her head on his chest.Grayfia hugged him from behind.Lucy intertwined her fingers with his.Venelana kissed his cheek.Charmcaster clung to his cloak.Albedo nearly fainted from bliss.Looma held his arm proudly.Velzard smiled with serene affection.

Alex:"You're all stuck with me now."

Velgrynd smirked."Good. We were never letting you go anyway."

All eight kissed him at once, laughing as the shadows danced around them like petals.

 The New Eternal Family

From that day onward:

Alex = The Immortal Shadow GodHis wives = Eternal Queens of AvalonTheir children = Half-gods, heirs to shadow and dragon

Avalon Island became a divine sanctuary—a place where gods, dragons, devils, warriors, and shadows lived as one family.

And together…

They would watch the universe change,grow,and evolve—

forever.
