The voice says, "I really am serious. Let's discuss this for a little while."
"Later," says Arius, then leaves.
Arius descends and says, "Something bad has happened. The modification I made to the story has returned to its original course. It seems that the things I changed have gone back to the way they were before: I am wanted, those elders hate me, and many other things. Nora, why are you doing this again? Are you bored and want to have some fun with me, or what? Fine, I'll play along with your game, my favorite dear."
Arius walks away, then says to himself, "What is happening to me now? Why do I have such a strong desire to return to my human state?"
Arius returns to his mortal form and says, "I feel strangely accustomed to this. Damn. Fine, no problem. I'll start thinking before I leave tomorrow to pursue Ernas. There is something important that needs to be done."
Arius flies from the place at an incredible speed while saying, "Even though I can reach the destination instantly in my true form, I have a strange desire to fly in this state. I really should abandon this form. It is limited and weak."
After flying for some time, Arius reaches the palace of Nahira, the ruler of the worlds. Some palace soldiers see him, point their weapons at him, and say, "The most dangerous criminal in existence is here! Inform the ruler of everything!"
After some time, the news reaches Nahira, who orders them to let him in with pleasure.
Arius enters and finds her sitting in the back of the palace, surrounded by a servant and the child he had seen before.
Arius says, "I see you have abandoned your brutality, you babysitter."
Nahira looks at him and says, "What is the reason for your visit?"
Arius walks over and sits beside her, shocking her. She says, "How dare you do that?"
He says, "Calm down. Let's stop pretending and tell me now: didn't those wretched elders order you to kill me some time ago? Why didn't you do it?"
Nahira says, "Because I need you for my plans. You are the only one who will get his hands dirty with them. I have no need to dirty my own hands."
Arius smiles and says, "No, that isn't the reason. You don't want to kill me for another reason. And there is something else I want to say, but your confusion is becoming far too obvious."
She says anxiously, "Who do you think I am?"
Then she asks, "Did you use the Knowledge Vault?"
He says, "No. Unfortunately, the vault cannot see what a ruler of everything hides within their intentions, so I gained nothing from it against you. But in another way, I learned things that I had been ignorant of for a very long time, and now I know them."
Nahira asks with obvious concern, "And what did you learn?"
Arius says, "I learned many things. For example, that the little girl over there is my daughter, born from you."
Nahira opens her eyes in shock at what she hears, because no one besides her knew about this.
She begins trembling and says, "No. You are mistaken. That is impossible."
Arius smiles and says, "No. Nothing is impossible. Didn't we have a relationship in the past without anyone knowing about it?"
Nahira freezes in place. Her face turns pale.
"Who told you?" she asks.
Arius smiles and says, "I learned it through my own knowledge, my dear. And I also learned that you were raising the girl so you could use her against me as leverage, either to kill me or control me. Isn't that what you were thinking?"
Nahira freezes and thinks, "Impossible. I am immune to the Knowledge Vault. It could never reveal these details. He knows everything."
Arius says, "Of course I know everything."
Nahira is stunned and asks, "Can you read my thoughts?"
Arius says, "Perhaps. But what matters now is that the girl is mine too. She is of my blood, and I have the right to claim her."
Nahira says, "That will not happen. She is my daughter. I raised her."
Arius says, "She is exactly two years old, just like her brother. She is a beautiful child. Did you give her a name, or were you waiting for me to name her?"
Nahira says, "No. You have nothing to do with naming her."
Arius places his hand over Nahira's hand, but she quickly pulls it away and says, "What are you doing?"
The child looks at her mother, then looks at Arius. Her eyes turn red, and she suddenly flies from the servant's hands toward Arius, causing a massive storm to erupt throughout the area.
When the dust disappears, Arius is holding the child by the head and says in surprise, "Amazing. She is strong, and she flew toward me at a decent speed. She will become an excellent fighter in the future."
With a single movement, he uses his abilities to make her fall asleep and says, "What a beautiful girl you are."
Nahira tells the servant to take the child to her room, and the servant carries her away.
Arius says with a frightening smile, "Take care of her until I finish talking with her mother."
Then he says, "Nahira, leave immediately."
Arius says, "I want to talk with you more."
He sits in a chair and asks her to sit as well, and they begin talking.
Arius says, "So, did you really have a name for the child?"
Nahira says, "I never named her."
Arius says, "You really are ungrateful. I have an appropriate name."
Nahira says, "No. She is my daughter, and I will be the one to name her."
Arius says, "But she is also my daughter, so I have just as much right to name her as you do."
Nahira asks, "And what do you want to name her?"
Arius says, "I will give her a beautiful name, one that I love. Nora."
Nahira looks at him and says, "Nora? What kind of name is that?"
Arius says, "It is a beautiful name, a name unlike any other in existence. It means a great deal to me."
Nahira says, "It follows the same pattern as my name."
Arius says, "Do not compare your name to that heavenly name ever again."
Nahira says, "Never tell anyone about this. I have hidden this secret from everyone. I do not want anyone to look at me as a harlot or something similar. I am the ruler of everything. If everyone learns that I gave birth to a daughter in that way, I will feel ashamed."
Arius says, "The best solution is to give her to me. No one will care about what is said about me anyway."
Arius takes Nahira's hand again, moves closer to her, and says, "I suddenly missed you. Did you know that?"
Nahira, who would normally react aggressively, asks, "You missed me?"
Arius says, "Yes. I have been thinking about you for a long time, but I could never confess it to anyone. You look beautiful today."
For the first time, Nahira experiences a strange feeling, and her face begins to blush.
"What are you saying, you deceiver? I will not fall for your tricks," she says.
Arius asks her, "Have I ever deceived you? I truly feel strangely drawn to you. Whenever my eyes see your face…"
Arius begins moving closer to her little by little, and she does not move away.
Arius says slyly, "Would you like us to repeat what we did in the past?"
Nahira, flustered, thinks to herself, "What is this feeling? What is happening to me? Why do I want to listen to what he is saying? What is going on?"
Then she says aloud, "Yes. Why not? No one will know anyway."
Arius smiles and says, "Yes. We did it several times before, and no one knew. Now let us do it here and now and create a memory between us."
The two move closer to each other, and unfortunately, Nahira falls completely into Arius's trap.
The two begin kissing passionately in an intimate moment unfamiliar to them.
Afterward, Nahira lies back on the chair with Arius above her and he says, "Finally, the tyrannical queen has fallen."
Nahira's face turns completely red and she says, "Hurry, before someone sees us. There is no time for sweet talk."
Arius smiles and begins kissing her neck while she cries out intimately and touches his solid body.
She says, "Amazing. You have become stronger."
After that, they consummate their relationship, and they both appear to enjoy being together greatly. They spend a long time together without noticing the passage of time.
When they finish, Arius gets up, puts his clothes back on, and says, "I truly enjoyed that."
Nahira gets up, puts her clothes back on, and says with obvious embarrassment, "It was unexpected. I did not plan for it, but you pleased me, you former servant."
Arius says, "You still see me as a servant? Isn't it time for your view of me to change?"
Nahira says, "I cannot forget that you were the little boy I once carried in my arms, and then the man I shaped and molded with these two hands. Things are different from what you see and what I see."
Arius says, "Fine. As you wish."
Nahira asks a question: "Tell me, who do you prefer doing it with, me or that wife of yours?"
Arius is surprised by the question and says, "Both of you."
She looks at him and says, "Answer honestly. Was I better?"
Arius laughs and says, "To some extent."
He sits in a chair, then she gets up and sits beside him.
Arius says to her, "I will be absent from the events for some time. So, after I finish this task and return, I will give you three gifts."
Nahira says, "Gifts?"
Arius says, "Yes. The first gift: I will kill all the elders for you. The second gift: I will marry you. And the third gift…"
"That one will remain a secret until the time comes."
Nahira says, "You will marry me?"
Arius says, "Yes. Is there a problem, especially since we have a daughter together and have known each other for a long time? And besides, I have loved you for a long time."
Nahira laughs and says, "You love me? Didn't you swear revenge against me long ago?"
Arius says, "I was ignorant. I was following foolish human beliefs. I did not realize how important you were in my life."
Nahira smiles with pride and arrogance.
"Finally, you have admitted that you are nothing without me. But tell me, what about your wife and child?"
Arius looks at her and says, "Do not worry. Izola will accept reality whether she likes it or not."
Nahira says, "I cannot believe it. I, Nahira, the Queen of Everything, am going to marry Arius, the most dangerous criminal in existence. How strange the world is. The boy who once lay in my hands, whose bones I used to break with my own hands, will become my husband."
Arius says, "Your arrogance comes from your father. I read your life."
Nahira asks in surprise, "What?"
Arius says, "Your father treated you terribly. He never appreciated your efforts or gave you any value. That is why you show a harsh and selfish personality toward everyone. But I am the only one who knows your true nature, Nahira. I know there is a noble and honest person inside you, but your circumstances turned you into what you are."
He continues, "I promise you that together we can change all of that. Circumstances also made me reckless and selfish at times, and someone who is always seeking revenge against everyone. Everyone grew to hate me. But together, we will become something no one can stop. And the greatest bond between us is our little daughter."
"Think about it with me. If she grows up and cannot find her father, or cannot find her mother, what will we tell her? That each of us was destroyed while opposing the other?"
Nahira looks at the ground, and for the first time she truly realizes that everything she had been doing had no purpose.
Nahira thinks to herself, "What is the meaning of everything I achieved if the person I wanted to see this success is not here?"
She looks at Arius and says, "You know, this is the first time I have agreed with you."
Arius smiles and says, "I knew you were capable of understanding yourself better. I am certain that as the days pass, you will understand what I am telling you. Trust me."
Nahira says, "I want to give you something before you leave."
Arius thinks to himself, "I am not using knowledge, but I am certain she is about to stab me in the chest. It seems my plan to lure her in will not work, so I will face whatever she does."
Suddenly, Nahira grabs his face and kisses him, shocking him.
He closes his eyes, accepts it, and kisses her back.
Suddenly, they are both shocked when Clarisse enters the place and sees them in that position. The basket she was carrying falls from her hands.
Both of them are shocked by her arrival.
Nahira pulls away and looks at her sister.
"It is not what you think," she says.
Clarisse says in a trembling, sharp voice, "You two are scum! Both of you… I-I-I will kill you both!"
Arius opens a dimensional rift and tells Nahira to distract her because he is leaving.
Nahira grabs him and says, "You put me in this situation!"
Clarisse flies toward them and tries to strike her sister, so Nahira pushes Arius in front of her. He takes the blow, which shakes the entire palace.
Arius feels the immense force of the strike and falls to the ground unconscious.
Nahira is shocked. Arius does not move at all.
She grabs his nose and realizes that he is no longer breathing.
"Damn it. He really is dead."
Clarisse's eyes glow a fierce purple, and her expression promises nothing good.
She tries to grab Nahira, forcing Nahira to fly away from the place. Clarisse follows her in madness.
The two fly chaotically through the palace world.
Nahira screams, "I am your sister, you idiot! Are you really going to kill me over something this ridiculous?"
Clarisse looks at her with murderous thirst.
"I knew for a long time that you had your eyes on him. I knew you were always trying to keep me away from him so you could have him for yourself. But if he cannot be mine, he will belong to no one."
Nahira says, "You know he is married."
Clarisse becomes even more furious, because when Arius previously told her about it, that had merely been a dream, while this Clarisse does not know that.
She unleashes destructive waves of energy at her sister, tearing reality apart. Her attacks create cracks across the outer shell of the place.
Nahira says, "Damn it. She will kill me if I do not act."
Nahira stops and says, "Listen. You killed that man. What do you want from me?"
Clarisse looks toward Arius, who is truly dead.
But instead of lowering her defenses, she says with absolute coldness, "I will kill you, then kill myself and punish him in the afterlife. Simple."
Nahira is shocked by what she hears and thinks to herself, "I think the time has come to kill her. I will not allow some failure to toy with me. I gave her countless opportunities to change, but she rejected every one of them. Now I will make her pay."
Nahira begins glowing purple, and her aura rises.
The entire place begins shaking under the pressure of her energy.
Nahira flies at tremendous speed and punches her sister, completely breaking her arm.
Clarisse screams violently, but she counters with her foot and kicks Nahira in the face.
Nahira does not move.
She says, "Did you think that you, you piece of trash, could humiliate me?"
She opens her eyes coldly and says, "No one dares attempt to kill me."
She stabs Clarisse in the stomach.
Clarisse begins feeling exhausted because Nahira is not merely injuring her—she is absorbing her energy and draining it from her.
Clarisse begins weakening, but then she remembers the kiss between Arius and Nahira.
Her aura explodes, growing larger and larger until she kicks her sister and sends her flying a great distance.
Clarisse places a small amount of energy over the wound and heals herself completely.
Her appearance then changes. Her entire body becomes covered in glowing purple tattoos, and her expression becomes even more evil.
Suddenly, she flies behind Nahira, who is still being thrown through the air, and strikes her, sending her crashing downward.
Nahira falls onto a metallic surface.
She struggles to stand, only to find Clarisse above her, kicking her in the face and sending her crashing into an enormous rocky wall.
Nahira emerges with her face covered in blood. She looks at the ground, which reflects her face, and is shocked by what she sees.
"Blood… I am bleeding."
Her veins begin bulging as she says with complete brutality, "I will make you wish you had never been born, you little harlot."
The entire ground begins glowing.
Nahira screams fiercely, and her energy spreads everywhere. Rocks saturated with energy begin flying throughout that world.
Clarisse avoids all the rocks.
Suddenly, she sees her sister emerge from the chaos with murderous eyes and a demonic aura unlike anything anyone had ever seen before.
Nahira appears directly in front of Clarisse and delivers a single slap.
Clarisse feels as though she is about to lose consciousness from its force.
The power of the slap is so immense that the planets decorating the world begin disintegrating as if they were nothing.
The colors of the world begin changing randomly.
Clarisse crashes onto distant ground and can barely stand.
Nahira descends above her, steps on her leg, and severs it.
Clarisse screams violently.
Nahira says coldly, "No one dares insult me, and no one has ever dared to do so."
She grabs her sister by the hair and drags her face across the ground.
Then she forms a glowing sphere of energy and places it inside her sister's mouth.
It explodes from within, sending Clarisse flying away, unable to move.
Nahira waves her hands, and energy blades appear, cutting through everything.
Clarisse is violently sliced apart, yet she remains barely standing.
Nahira says with a superior expression, "If you want Arius, go after him. He is in Hell now. But do not complain if you are the reason he was sent there. Be grateful instead."
Clarisse becomes enraged and screams.
A massive explosion occurs, causing enormous destruction throughout the area and shaking all ten worlds to their foundations.
When the explosion disappears, leaving the place horribly scarred, a glowing black crater remains.
Nahira, who had moved away before the explosion reached her, says, "Damn it. She did it."
Nahira looks at her hand, which has been burned.
Then Clarisse appears in a terrifying form. It is the true form of their bloodline.
Her limbs regenerate, her face restores itself, and every wound heals.
The color of her aura changes into a pitch-black darkness.
Ramen descends beside his mistress and says, "My lady, are you all right?"
Nahira looks at him and says, "Do not approach her. She is no longer as she was. We must retreat for now."
Ramen says, "My lady, you go. I will hold her off."
Nahira says, "Fine. Try to distract her until I can get away and figure out what to do. She is now like a devil who has lost all meaning in what she does."
Nahira flies away.
Clarisse tries to pursue her, but Ramen flies toward her to stop her.
Suddenly, spikes emerge from nowhere, piercing Ramen's chest, hands, and legs and dragging him directly in front of Clarisse.
Ramen, who falls before he can even begin to fight, looks at Clarisse's cold, expressionless face and says with difficulty, "Lady Clarisse, please return to your senses. You do not understand what you are doing. Lady Nahira is your sister. Will you really do this to her? And for what? For a piece of trash like Arius?"
The moment he finishes speaking, Clarisse grabs his head and, with a single movement, completely destroys it, throwing his body away like meaningless garbage.
She looks toward the direction Nahira flew.
Clarisse summons a single spike and throws it at an unimaginable speed.
The spike reaches Nahira and pierces her chest, pinning her to the wall of her palace.
Clarisse flies toward her and appears directly behind her.
Nahira is pinned and unable to move because the spikes are draining her power faster than she had been draining Clarisse's.
Nahira looks backward with difficulty and sees her sister summoning more spikes and driving them into her back and legs.
Nahira begins screaming violently.
Then, despite her condition, she begins laughing and says, "Come on. Take your revenge on me for what I did to you. I know you have hated me for a long time. But I have a secret to tell you before I leave."
Clarisse looks at her, confused despite her coldness.
Nahira says, "Our mother did not die from a strange illness like I told you. The truth is…"
Nahira begins breathing with difficulty, then says, "I sacrificed her to summon Arius so that he would serve me in the past."
Clarisse's eyes open with terrifying intensity.
Her energy begins exploding everywhere from the shock.
She flies at tremendous speed out of Nahira's supreme world.
Then she looks toward the ten worlds and begins launching simple energy attacks at them.
She fires the first.
Then the second.
Then the third.
After the attacks collide with the worlds, they begin cracking.
The worlds begin exploding and collapsing.
The first world collapses.
The fourth world collapses.
The second world collapses.
Trillions of universes within those worlds begin disappearing as if they were nothing.
The creatures see a light, and then they disappear.
Everything becomes chaotic.
Nahira looks at the scene and smiles with difficulty as blood runs from her body.
"At least I cleared my conscience before dying and brought out that monster I had feared would appear."
Clarisse begins destroying the worlds as if they were nothing, taking revenge against her sister.
She releases spikes from her body, surrounds the eighth and tenth worlds, and begins absorbing the life energy of those worlds.
Smith, who is watching from his palace within worlds containing trillions of universes and creatures, sees them being absorbed as though they were merely a light meal.
He says, "Lady Nahira was right. Her sister is a monster that cannot be stopped. She is the true definition of cold evil."
In the sixth world, Raimus notices what is happening.
He, along with Wang, leaves the sixth world and goes outside to see what is happening.
The remaining rulers of the worlds also emerge.
But Clarisse absorbs and destroys the remaining worlds before them.
Raimus is stunned and says in a broken voice, "My wife and my daughter!"
Wang grabs him and says, "Calm down, my lord, please."
Raimus looks at him with tears in his eyes and screams, "Let me go! I will destroy that thing right now!"
Indeed, Clarisse succeeds in erasing all ten worlds.
Only Nahira's world remains, positioned directly above the other worlds.
Clarisse drives her spikes into the edges of the world and begins absorbing the life energy of the entire world.
Overcome with rage, Raimus flies toward her at an incredible speed, and all the rulers fly after him to stop her.
Unfortunately, she is extremely powerful.
Despite already being stronger than all of them, her power continues increasing more and more.
She crushes them all with a single wave of her hand and sends them flying away.
One of the rulers, the ruler of the second world, says, "Listen to me, everyone. Since we are all gathered here, let us carry out the fusion plan."
Raimus asks, "The fusion?"
The ruler says, "Yes. We can become a single ruler with power greater than our separate powers. Together, we will become the ancient ruler, Azlol, the Lord of War."
Raimus asks, "Will this work?"
The ruler of the fifth world says, "Yes, it will. All the rulers are gathered here, and although we do not have the ruler of the first world, our combined power is enough to manifest that ruler."
Indeed, they all take each other's hands and form a circle of nine rulers.
Their assistants stand above them and lend their energy to them as well.
The energy begins glowing with a fierce purple light, rising from all of them.
After some time, the rulers draw closer and merge together.
A single glowing entity appears.
Its appearance is astonishing: a sacred purple dragon with a muscular body and scars that demonstrate its immense power. It wears a white robe and has sharp yellow eyes.
The assistants stop and welcome the rebirth of this ruler.
Wang says, "Welcome back, Lord of War Azlol."
Azlol looks at them and says, "Who dared awaken me from my sleep?"
They explain the situation to him.
He looks toward the horizon and sees Clarisse absorbing the sacred world belonging to the Ruler of Everything.
He says, "It seems that entity possesses abilities that cannot be underestimated. Absorbing this much energy is something we cannot approach recklessly. Her power is terrifying."
Wang asks, "Can you deal with her?"
Azlol says, "I do not know yet. We will have to find out. Trust me, I will defeat her. But the problem is that one of my sources of power has been destroyed: the ten worlds. This may cause a problem for me."
Azlol flies toward Clarisse and stops directly in front of her.
He folds his arms and says, "You seem desperate, girl. Do not worry. This will be over once you lose your life."
