The next day, Arius woke up from bed after spending a wonderful night with his wife, finding her asleep and extremely exhausted. He said with a light smile, "You were so tired yesterday. I told you once is enough." Then he touched her soft black hair and said, "Rest well now."
Arius left the room, went downstairs, and began preparing breakfast. After a while, she went back upstairs and wanted to wake her up, so she said to him, "I'll wake up, Mom, in five minutes." Arius said, "I used to say that in the past to escape waking up, but that trick won't work with me now." So, he grabbed a cup of water, put a little on his hand, and threw it on Isola's face so she would wake up startled. She looked at him and started hitting him, and he apologized to her while they laughed with all love and harmony. She fell on top of him, and he said to her, "Good morning, you lazy girl." She said to him, "I was the one who used to wake you up in the past." Arius said, "No, rather I was the one who did it, and I used to do it secretly so you wouldn't notice me, but now I do it and strive to win your attention in every moment." She told him, "You have to try harder to win my attention." He said, "I am trying and I will never give up."
Then he flew from his spot, and she said to him, "Wait, don't fly like that, I'll fall, my dear." He said, "Don't worry," then he floated with her from the room down towards the kitchen and said to her, "I prepared a breakfast for you that you will like." She told him, "Wait, I'll fall, Ariuus!"
After that, Isola washed her face and prepared to eat breakfast. Arius said, "Come on now, open your plate." Indeed, she opened the plate and found two eggs and a smile made of ketchup, and written at the top was, "I always love you." Then there was an arrow pointing to another plate for her to open, and she found a dish called "eggs in dough." She said, "Arius, how did you prepare this dish? I myself don't know how to prepare it correctly." Arius said to her with a smile, "Secret of the trade. And also, if you wake me up every morning, I will teach you how to make it." She said, "Deal."
After eating breakfast, Arius said to her, "Well, my dear, today I will be busy outside, and I know very well that you don't like me being away, but I promise you this is the last time I will go out. I will bring something here and return. It might take several days, but it is an important matter to me, and I must bring it here." Isola says, "And what is this thing?" Arius says, "You'll know when I return."
Then he got ready, put on his black coat, white shirt, black pants, and white shoes, and left. Then he teleported away. As for her, she watched from the window, wondering what he would bring from outside. Isola saw some soldiers building a small barn, so she went outside and said, "What are you doing?" One of the soldiers said, "We are building a barn so we can plant some things here, my lady." Isola says, "Well, tell me how big this place is, because I see nothing but the distant horizon." One of the soldiers said, "This place is very vast, my lady, and it is the base of a place outside the scope of all worlds. This place is a planet larger than the size of a planet like Earth or Zowisha by about 17,000 times. Lord Arius chose it for its unique properties, as it is a living, grassy planet where life can exist for thousands of years without problems. It also contains no living creatures on it, and it is a planet completely isolated from the 10 or 0 worlds orbit, very far away to the extent that if we wanted to go to one of those worlds from here by flying, it would take us about 500 billion light-years just to reach the nearest world, which is World 8."
Isola says, "Wow, we are very far and isolated, huh?" She said this with a sort of vague astonishment and worry, then she moved from her place and saw the vast green space, and said with a long sigh, "Ah, so a new, quiet life above the ten worlds."
All the rulers' assistants were gathered in one place, headed by Nahira and Raimus. There were also, after a while, the arrival of the three elders, who were like three invisible shadows. Raimus whispered, "Who are these, Wang?" Wang replied, "They are the elders, they are responsible for the powers of the ruler of everything in existence." Raimus said, "I see, but why can't I see them?" Wang replied, "Their true forms are like this, it's not that they are hiding anything."
The three elders sat on luxurious chairs, and Pablo stood in the middle. All the assistants bowed to him, and Pablo said, "Today I gathered you here to repeat what we did more than 290 million years ago, which is that we will appoint a new ruler, a ruler who deserves their position and not a ruler who was just a burden. Today, despite the bad circumstances, unfortunately, the rulers of our honorable worlds have been captured and imprisoned by our worst enemies. Therefore, today we will need a new, composed, confident, strong ruler who bears full responsibility in everything. Today we will announce that Lady Nahira Ishtar will be the new ruler of all ten worlds from now on."
Pablo stepped down holding the coronation crown and walked towards Nahira, who was standing with an unbelievable smile, then placed the crown on her head and said, "From today, welcome your new ruler." All the assistants bowed, Raimus bowed despite his anger at the matter, and numbers of armies outside the palace also bowed. The ceremony was also broadcasted across all worlds so everyone could see it. Nahira made promises that she would wipe criminals out of existence, that she would rule with justice, that she would not lean towards any world at the expense of another, and that she would be the hand that protects and the hand that holds all worlds correctly.
Arius was sitting watching the broadcast, sitting on one of the rooftops. After the ceremony ended, the three elders met, and Nando said, "We expect a lot from you, Nahira." Nahira said, "I will do so of course." Darl said, "We want you to immediately remove all obstacles from our path." Pablo said, "Now, since Karma is not here, your place as one of the Five Powerhouses is ready to welcome its owner." Nahira said, "But I know that to be one of the Five Powerhouses, you must defeat one of them." Pablo said, "Yes, that's true, but this condition is independent of others because since you took the place of the person who basically held this position, automatically you will be his place in that record, meaning that alongside Dazai and Seles, you will be there of course."
Nahira smiles and says, "And what about the Black Eye?" The elders get scared and say, "That's right, since he defeated both Karma and Baryon, that mortal has become part of the Five Powerhouses. But Nahira, you are rulers, so Dazai, Seles, and you have ruler origins and possess ruler energy. That person, despite his strength, is a mortal."
Nahira laughs and says, "No, he also uses ruler energy like us." The others are surprised and say, "If so, then there is no choice, he is one of you then." Nahira says, "I don't like this new classification. I mean the presence of Dazai and Seles among the Five. I would like to remove them someday because I will add two other people instead of them. And also regarding the Master, his death has been confirmed; he was eliminated by a mysterious entity, so I will appoint a new assistant for myself, and basically he was just scum of no value anyway." Pablo says, "As you wish. And also if you eliminate or capture the Black Eye, or as he is known, Arius, we promise you many things." Nahira says with a terrifying look, "None of your business with that person, I will take care of everything, do you understand?" They feel terrified by her look and say, "Fine, do whatever you want," and leave the place.
After that, Nahira decides to move from her palace to Karma's palace and says, "Finally, this place has become mine at last." After a while, while she is wandering around the palace, she stops in her tracks and says, "You've arrived then." She turns around and sees Arius, who says, "Here I am, come to get what I want." She smiles and says, "You're really impatient."
She and he head to a strange room, and she opens it to reveal a dark black space with many glowing white lines. Nahira grabs one of them and cuts it. Then suddenly, Arius's Isola poster disappears, and Nahira says, "Now don't worry, your wife is no longer on the wanted list, you don't need to worry because she is now like any normal person who will live her life." He says to her, "What about Dazai and the rest? Remove their bounties." Nahira says, "No."
Arius feels annoyed by her words and says, "Why?" Nahira says, "We agreed on one person, but I can remove the rest like your friends with the colored eyes." He says, "If you do that again," and smiles maliciously. Arius says, "I only did that to get the vault, and I haven't gotten it yet. You're just playing with me." Arius grabbed the threads and wanted to cut them, but it didn't work, so she told him, "Only the ruler of everything alone can control the destiny of existence, so don't try, Arius. I am the only one whose hands hold the decision to determine your fate in this world. I can make you just a runaway or a small puppet to play with, or..."
Arius says, "Or what?" She says, "Never mind now, what do you think? Do you like me to cut more of them or do you prefer to settle for your wife?" Arius says, "What about me? Won't you remove my poster?" Nahira says, "No, if I do that now, the elders will know that I am helping you, and this is not good for us because we want to get rid of them." Arius says, "Fine then, once again, but you will cancel the bounties of the Red Eye, the Blue Eye, the Purple Eye, and Dazai." Nahira says, "I will do it for the rest, but Dazai... forget about it. Think with me, if Dazai stays away, Isola will remain yours alone. But now, if I remove his poster and he becomes completely free, he will meet with his sister and make her stay away from you forever. Didn't he have intentions to do that anyway? Think a little."
Arius says, "You're right, if I leave Dazai, he will try in various ways to keep Isola away from me, and this is the only thing I don't want at all, so keep him." Nahira says, "Good then, we agree once again." After that, she says, "Go now, I have no time outside."
Clarice arrives at the palace and asks Smith about the location, to which he says, "This is the new lady's palace, given that she became the ruler of all worlds." Clarice says with a smile, "Nahira the bug has come to live in a palace considered millions of times larger than the one she used to brag about. What is the size of this palace?" Smith says, "My lady, the area of this palace alone, without the land surrounding it, is estimated to be the size of an entire universe from the inside." Clarice is shocked by what she heard and says, "An entire universe? What is this? How do they live in it and what's inside?"
Smith says, "Well, this palace contains everything the ruler of everything needs to manage the rest of the worlds. As for the vast expanse of land that you see in front of us outside the palace, it covers all ten worlds from beginning to end." Clarice is shocked and says, "Do you really get all that as the ruler of everything?" Smith says, "Yes, and on top of that, the special power of creation so she can create worlds in unlimited numbers or anything that comes to mind, but the official number relied upon for millions of years is 10 to keep things more orderly, because an abundance of worlds would cause a lot of work for the ruler, and that's why they stick to very small numbers."
Clarice says, "It's truly amazing, but is my sister inside now?" Smith says, "Yes, but she asked that no one enter until she finishes something." Clarice says, "She must be choosing the best room in the palace as usual. I'll go in and see where she is." Smith says, "Wait, my lady!"
After half an hour, Clarice felt lost because she had been running for a long time and didn't find her sister, and on top of that, the place never ended no matter how much she ran in it. She looked around and saw that all that existed was a blue void, huge marble pillars, and golden doors everywhere in a row stretching to the horizon. Clarice opened one of the doors and found a strange room containing paintings of Karma, and when she touched one of them, it suddenly turned into pictures of Nahira. The world was imposing a new reality. Clarice says, "Yuck, my sister's pictures are ugly wherever I see them."
Clarice continues to go deeper and enters strange and complex places, and an hour passes as she walks, feeling tired, so she decides to sit down. But she hears a voice from one of the rooms and decides to enter. After entering, she finds Nahira sitting on a couch looking at her and saying, "When did you get here?" Clarice says, "Just now, but I heard as if someone was here with you." Clarice said, "My follower was here, and I told him to bring me a map because the palace is vast and I started getting lost in it."
Meanwhile, Arius was hiding on the ceiling of the pillar from above, clinging to it, turning to look at Clarice and breathing with difficulty. Nahira says to Arius via telepathy, "Go to the room numbered 99, you will enter it and find that room, you can transport it because it's easy to change its nature." Arius says, "Fine, make sure she doesn't discover anything," then leaves via instant transmission.
Nahira says, "Well, now sit down and tell me how you are today. Yesterday you were in a bad mood." Clarice says, "Yes, that's right, now I feel somewhat better, but I've appointed trackers to look for that scoundrel, and when they find him, I will punish him myself for what he did." Nahira says with a malicious smile, "Yes, you will find that trickster and he will get what he deserves." Clarice says, "Yesterday you were defending him." Nahira says, "Yesterday I realized that my sister is right, and that scum is just a cursed scoundrel. How could I stand by his side? I truly apologize to you for what happened yesterday." Clarice says, "Well, but today you're acting strangely, are you really okay?" Nahira says, "Because of the position, I'm just excited, that's all."
On the other side, Arius reaches room number 99 and actually enters. As soon as he enters, he feels that reality has changed to feel a little heavy, then he reaches a closed golden door like a square vault. Arius says, "Well, I'll see how that happens," then presses a strange button, and the room shrinks to the size of a small cube. Arius says, "That was very easy, no traps, no crazy ghosts attacking me, what is this?" Then he realized that Nahira had removed the protection systems when he wanted to get out.
Nahira entered and said, "Stop, you're not done yet." He said, "Where did Clarice go?" Nahira said, "She left, follow me, I'm not done yet." Arius clenched his teeth and said, "It's fine, I basically got what I wanted."
After that, twenty-four hours pass. Arius returns to that special planet of his to land there and finds that the soldiers have finished the work. Arius says, "This is great, now I can rest for long periods without disturbance." Then he entered the house to find Isola sitting watching TV. As soon as he entered, she stood up from her place, ran towards him, and hugged him. Arius says, "Darling, I have a surprise for you." She says, "And what is it?"
He carries her and walks with her towards the couch, then says, "Look, I have very good news that will please you. Now you can be free without worry, because now you are no longer among the wanted. I have removed your record from the world." Isola rejoices at the news and starts jumping with joy, prompting Arius to say, "I'm going to break, stop!" Then he says, "And I was also able to remove the records of both the Blue and the Red as well." Isola says, "This is great news, let's go tell them." Arius says, "No, we aren't going anywhere ever." Isola says, "What do you mean?" Arius says, "Just like you heard, it's over, they will know about it themselves. Now all we have to do is keep our affairs quiet."
Isola says spontaneously, "And what about my brother? Were you able to remove his name?" Arius looks at her sharply and says, "No, I couldn't." She says to him in surprise, "Why? Did something happen?" Arius said, "His case is difficult, even I myself failed to remove my own bounty because its numbers are huge, so it's difficult for me." Isola said, "But my dear, my bounty is considered somewhat large, it might not be as big as your bounties, but it's big and you removed it easily." Arius shouts, saying, "Don't you understand?! I said the matter is very difficult!"
Isola feels shocked by his sudden shout, and Arius realizes what he did and apologizes immediately, saying, "Sorry, I didn't mean to shout, but the matter is really very difficult, my dear, it cost me a lot of things to remove the rest." Isola says, "No, I'm the one who is sorry for pestering you with questions. I should trust everything you do, but I keep annoying you." Arius holds her face with his hands, kisses her head, and says, "Don't say that, I was just upset because of my inability to do that, but I promise you that everything will be fine, trust me." Then he hugs her and says, "It's okay, I just want you to forgive me and to know that I do everything for your best interest."
While Arius was saying that, his eyes were glowing black with a malicious smile. Isola says, "Darling, promise me you won't leave or take me with you next time, I don't want to stay alone here." Arius says, "Don't worry, I will never leave you, I will stay and I will take you wherever you want, just agree to everything I say."
Isola falls asleep in Arius's embrace, and he says, "She must be tired." The system screen appears, and Arius sees that the honor attribute has decreased more than before, reaching 40% on the low honor side. Arius says in a surprised, quiet voice that could barely be heard, "It was 50%, now 40%, what is this thing really?"
After that, Arius carried Isola to the room, placed her on the bed, and said, "It's clear she hasn't slept since my absence, she must have been scared being alone here, but never mind, this is for her own good anyway."
After that, Arius went out, took out the room cube, went outside the house, and threw the cube so it would transform into a slightly large vault-shaped cube, and said, "Good, I'll go in now." Indeed, after Arius entered, he was shocked by what he saw, because he saw in front of him a vast white void, countless shelves filled with books, and he saw energy crystals scattered everywhere. He grabbed one and saw a scene of dinosaurs going extinct. Arius says, "Well, what is this thing?"
The system begins analyzing to tell him that this knowledge vault is a separate world with no time at all, meaning no matter how much time he spends here, nothing will change outside. If he spends months here, it will only be hours or minutes outside. Arius said, "It's similar to the system dungeons and the white room I sometimes train in in terms of function, but this room is better because it contains amazing things."
The system says, "Important alert: This place contains every piece of information, every record, and every moment recorded in the lower worlds entirely." Arius said, "Everything?! This is great, this means I hold a weapon that cannot be squandered." The system said, "It contains other information about unknown things, and they are very many." Arius said, "Great, I love these things. But hey system, I'd like to know what's the story with this honor and why it decreased?"
The system shows him things he did previously, explaining that the honor gauge affects several things: the character's actions, reactions, personality, and destiny. Therefore, one must pay attention to every action taken; if it is good, the gauge rises, and if it is bad, it decreases until the appropriate time comes to determine destiny. Arius says, "Is the matter dangerous or mandatory?" The system says, "In terms of danger, practically the matter is linked to your ultimate destiny. But regarding whether it is mandatory, no, you are not forced to do anything, you choose the results of your own actions whatever they may be, and it doesn't matter which path you take, the result is the same, the difference is just the destiny." Arius says, "And what is my destiny?" The system refuses to answer.
Arius says, "Well, does the vault know that?" The system says, "Anything related to the system and its derivatives is basically outside the capability of this vault's power, so don't try because you won't find anything about the system." Arius says, "Fine, don't you intend to tell me who you are?" The system answers, "I am just your personal assistant, nothing more. I guide you and help you survive, nothing more." Arius says, "You're very boring despite your countless benefits to me." Arius says, "What if I reach the final level?" The system says, "You'll discover that for yourself when you reach it." Arius says, "I'd like to know." The system says, "Nothing will happen after reaching level 100, you will finally end your virtual journey only, and you will become an expert system user instead of a persevering user."
Arius laughs mockingly and says, "Damn, this is a really failed thing, unlike the systems I see in manhwa and cartoons. Well, let's leave the system now and focus on our goals."
