Aegon was puzzled by the words which Reynold had spoken, and couldn’t make sense of it, aligning Reynold as a mad man so he dismissed the thought.

"That’s not what I am asking you to tell me. I said, tell me where she is!" he shouted.

Reynold stopped talking, looking around, his gaze landing on where the administrator was lying down, his face flat on the ground.

"There... he’s the one who knows where she is kept." Reynold said, pointing at the administrator while looking at Aegon.

At this moment, the administrator had already gone back to his normal form. He was somewhat still alive, the only part of him that was sliced was the creature form that he turned so.

His main body was still intact.

"You can question him later, but for now I should tell you where your faith lies. Join me and we shall conquer the entire realms together, or not, and be consumed by the wrath that you would bring forth."

Reynold had his right hand stretched out, expecting Aegon to take hold of it. In his black cloak, he was like a witch trying to bewitch a child into taking candy.

Aegon saw Reynold’s hand and didn’t even know what the man was talking about, other than he was the one who orchestrated the entire thing.

He had used the administrator, taking advantage of his research and deceiving him through the king.

Reynold had promised to fix the king’s condition if the administrator did exactly as he told him to.

As knowledgeable as the administrator was, there were two things in his life he didn’t have answers to.

The first was, who Aegon was, and how he had so much magic power, the other was why he couldn’t heal the king, remove him from his current situation.

All these were the tasks that made the administrator feel powerless even after attaining so much knowledge of the universe.

In this world, or any other world; one cannot have it all. If you want to have it all, there is always a price attached to it.

Aegon was staring at the hand of Reynold, thinking. His anger had already reduced to a certain level since he felt that his sister was somewhat safe.

Although he wasn’t certain, he had hoped she was. But, he still wanted to kill Reynold. That was the second thing on his bucket list.

The first, to rescue his sister, the second to kill that man who took her away from him.

The other awakeners saw him as he was looking at Reynold’s hand, most of them were thinking he would take the offer.

Who wouldn’t want to rule the world? Who wouldn’t want to be part of the strongest? Respected as a king.

Natsu had his eyes on Reynold, he knew exactly who he was but didn’t say anything. In his mind, he ran the odds of meeting the awakener he had admired the most.

The person who he had aspired to be like from the time he became an awakener. And yet, that person was a villain who is trying to destroy the world.

Natsu had a sad expression on his face. He didn’t know if he was to continue admiring him or should stop, the answer was obvious.

He turned his head away, shifting his gaze, a tear dropping from his eye. Nyra noticed this, her eyes were on Aegon before, but when he moved his head away she noticed.

He was at her right hand side, one of the four who was supporting her the most on the ground where she was lying.

She wanted to speak, ask him what was wrong. Yet, she couldn’t. Not at this current moment, that is.

Her head was turned back, her gaze landing on Aegon’s back. She knew she was powerless and wouldn’t even last a second if she was to go into the same battles that he goes into.

Yet, she wanted to feel useful. Useful to him, and useful to her party members. Right now, all she wanted was the peace of those she cares about, to last.

And if there was a way she would want to stand up, go to Aegon and tell him not to take the hand of the man offering it.

Yet, how could she? She had only gotten a bit of her strength back, and could barely move. Plus even if she wanted to still try in this state none of the awakeners around her would let her go.

These awakeners with her, were the ones who had been kidnapped together. The were the remaining of the awakeners who had left the spiral trial and got caught before they could leave the Abyss.

So all of them knew who she was and would definitely not allow her to go and risk life when she had just gotten spared from dying.

Even if all these didn’t apply and she was actually able to go there without anyone stopping her, she still couldn’t go.

Who was she to make the decision for him? Who was she, a weak awakener to put her mouth in the business of the strong.

In this world, the strong grow and move to the highest point, while the weak fall, and are stepped on.

They were two worlds apart, like from the center of a single galaxy to the center of another galaxy, light years away.

Nyra could only look at his back. Right now she wasn’t able to see his face. ’What expression are you making now?’ she wondered.

It was still clear that he was in a rage, his mana still pouring out like a flowing stream of water.

Yet, on top of it all, she felt it to be calm and warm, like he wasn’t consumed by the emotions they universe had given to him.

"No. Go fuck yourself!"

The words left Aegon’s mouth and everyone that heard it were baffled by it.

"Is that so? Such a disappointment. I did expect that you’d say such. It’s such a shame, I had high hopes for you."

At this moment, the center, in-between where both Nyra and the others were staying, also Aegon and Reynold, a bright red light appeared, swirling in a spiral form, drawing the attention of everyone.

It was a gate.

The gate was glowing, illuminating the entire room, even surpassing that of the moon which was shining from the broken wall of the castle.

"Oh? It seems that they are here." Reynold uttered, "Don’t want the wrong people seeing me like this, am I right?"

Aegon turned his head, his gaze at Reynold hologram which had already begun to dissipate away, the mana used to create away losing its form.

"Hold on, you can’t leave, I will kill you!" Aegon shouted, looking as he was fading away.

"Don’t worry Aegon, we’ll meet again, then I hope by then you would have reconsidered my offer to join me." Reynold uttered, the hologram, from his feet to his upper body already disappeared, and now at his neck.

"Oh right! You thought you could plant a spy in my own league? How pathetic, I catch those who betray me and dispose of them." He was talking about test subject 067

His mouth had disappeared, his right eyes, his left, then all of his body, gone.

While this was happening, the gate opened and a lot of awakeners came out of it.

They were wearing flashy clothes made of expensive materials, making them look fresh and clean as if they were arriving at a party.

However, after they had all come out, over a hundred, the gate closed and disappeared, and to their surprise the mood in the room was not given.

Someone from the crowd of awakeners said, "Did we arrive late?"

"Oh my," Cassie whispered in the midst of their own crew, "It is the B-rank middle stage awakener Mickey and B-rank top stage Crimson Lion."

All of their own crew were looking at the awakeners while Sheila asked, "What are they doing here?"

At this moment, the Crimson Lion and Mickey were at the foremost of the awakeners but could still be seen by Cassie and the others, who were far at the back.

"Who is that?" Mickey asked, looking at Aegon who was currently walking towards where the administrator was lying down.

"I... don’t kno- I think... he’s is-?" The Crimson Lion couldn’t find the right words, because the energy that was coming from Aegon didn’t let him concentrate.

"T-That’s the F-rank Awakeners is it n-?" A random awakener spoke out, but suddenly kept his mouth shut after meeting the gaze of the Crimson Lion.

"That’s not any F-rank awakener, that is a very stupid assumption and you know that." Crimson Lion uttered.

’But this guy... he’s that same person they called F-rank. After he disappeared from the association building there were speculations that he wasn’t actually F-rank because no one moves like that, and if it is true, even now that aura he’s emitting, is way beyond anything that I have ever seen. That isn’t a F-rank aura, hell it isn’t even an S-rank aura, an Archon?’

The Crimson Lion couldn’t take off his eyes from Aegon, his handsome face already squeezing into a frown.

Seeing this, Mickey asked "Are you alright?"

The Crimson Lion snapped out of his thoughts and said to Micky, "That guy isn’t a F-rank awakener."

"My thoughts exactly." Mickey replied.

"Look, his sword. What kind of awakener wields a sword like that? You can’t find that anywhere and buy in shops, even the association doesn’t have any relic like that, it’s like it was forged from the heart of a dying star."

The awakeners who were closer to him heard all he had said, and thought deeply into their heart where they actually stand in the true rankings of strength in the entire universe.

At this point, Aegon reached the administrator, knelt down with one leg, placed the sword on the ground and tapped him.

"Hey wake up, wake up old man." He called out.

All the awakeners here, both new and old, stared, wondering what he was doing.

"What is that, it has pointy ears, is it human?"

The Crimson Lion heard this question asked by a random awakener, straining his eyes, he looked at the administrator carefully.

"No, I don’t think this is," he replied. "As a matter of fact I don’t think it’s alive."

Aegon was shaking the administrator and seeing no response, turned his body over, his face facing upwards.

Seeing that administrator there without any form of movement or response, Aegon knew that he was dead.

"That bastard! He played me for a fool, Reynold!!!"

He shouted extremely, everyone hearing his voice, Crimson Lion and Mickey turned to each other after hearing him call Reynold.

At this critical moment, Aegon stood to his feet, his mana erupted, engulfing him, the force so strong it created shockwaves that spread at every corner from him.

Even the ground which his feet were on, cracked from the intense pressure on it.

Wind blowing like a tornado inside the room but was actually the extreme force of his mana flowing out of him, which was more than when he was raging at Reynold.

"What is going on?" The awakeners protected their faces with their hands, as they were being moved backwards by the extreme force of the wind waves of mana.

Aegon turned to the awakeners, his piercing eyes gazing with purple light, which looked like lightning. He faced them like he was about to attack, and they all felt it in their hearts to flee.

But how could they? None of them could move themselves away from the wave that was pushing them backwards.

The power was too intense that it started shaking the entire castle, threatening to bring it down, just then.

]Ding! You have Met the required ondition!]

[You have Unlock the Unique Ability!]

[You have triggered the God-Level Unique Ability: Infinite Dimension Sovereignty!]

[Description: Shatter the local fabric of reality into any known Realm or Dimension. This doesn’t affect outside the area of the host.]

[Do you want to use this ability?]

[Yes or No]

There was no response from Aegon but his gazes landed on ’Yes’ and the system knew.

[Accepted!]

In that moment, the very fabric of space ripped warping and folding like liquid silk into a shimmering, heavy vortex.

As the local coordinates of reality were rewritten, the darkness of the abyss was forced aside, pulled apart by an invincible force that dragged a distant realm into the present.

Through the distorted center of the warp, a world of overwhelming brilliance appeared, bleeding a pure, blinding white light into the shadows.

The atmosphere thrummed with a deep, gravitational vibration as the two dimensions overlapped, exposing the radiant heart of a sanctuary hidden behind the warped shell of space.

The awakeners gaze at the scene before them, only one thing repeated endless in their minds, and Crimson Lion spoke it out.

"Unbelievable, this is... this is... this is the Absolute Rise of the F-rank Awakener!"

================

[A/N: Hey there, this this end of volume one and I want to thank you for your support while reading the story. The story has not ended this is just the beginning, there are more op villains coming, more leading characters time and peak MC moments. The first volume focused solely on Aegon’s rise, and now that has been set, it is time to face the wrath that will befall the human world. The story only gets better from here. I know I am a newbie author and my writing is a bit rough with some mistakes here and there, I will try my best to fix that. I have learned so much from writing this story, and I will only continue to grow. Chapters update would resume back to the standard two Chapters per week, and sometimes three Chapters. But if the mass release goals are met the bonus Chapters would be delivered without fail. Volume 2 starts immediately.

Thank you for your continuous support and see you in the next volume.
