[Ding!]
[Your Ender of Origin Power is acting irregularly.]
The moment Caelus read the words, his surroundings distorted violently. Colors bled into each other, shapes twisted beyond recognition, and his consciousness was ripped away from his body.
When his vision cleared, Caelus found himself standing somewhere completely different.
A paradise stretched endlessly before him. The sky was impossibly clear, filled with golden light that spread across the horizon like a warm blanket, while the land beneath his feet was covered in vibrant greenery, with flowers of every color blooming across rolling hills.
Seeing this, Caelus looked around in confusion. This place felt completely disconnected from the violent world he had just been fighting through, and the atmosphere was so peaceful that it almost felt unreal.
Then he heard laughter.
Looking ahead, Caelus saw six children running through the grass, playing together without a single care in the world. One of them sprinted across the field while another chased close behind, both of them laughing loudly, while the others playfully argued and teased each other before eventually collapsing together in a pile of giggles.
Seeing the scene, Caelus felt that there was an innocence to them that seemed almost sacred.
He stood frozen as he watched the scene unfold, unable to understand why he was being shown this.
Who were these children?
Why did his Ender of Origin Power bring him here?
However, before he could find any answers, the vision vanished.
Immediately after, reality snapped back into place, and Caelus found himself standing exactly where he had been before. He looked around the Origin Expanse in confusion, his mind still processing what he had just witnessed.
"What was that?"
Hearing his own words, a bad feeling immediately settled over him.
The paradise reminded him of something, something connected to the Supreme Being who once controlled the power of Axiom Origin.
As this thought crossed his mind, Caelus couldn’t help but wonder.
Could those six children be connected to the Six Enders?
The possibility left him genuinely speechless. Even so, he had no idea why he would be shown such a vision or what it meant.
After thinking about it for a moment, Caelus shook his head and pushed the questions aside. There was no time to dwell on mysteries he couldn’t solve.
With that, he looked down at himself and felt the power coursing through his body. It had reached another terrifying level during his advancement, strong enough to destroy an entire world if he wanted.
But it still wasn’t enough.
He needed to reach Overlord Rank.
Without hesitation, Caelus activated his Ender of Origin Power. Immediately, the rule-breaking ability surged through him, forcing his body past the natural limitations that restricted ordinary players.
As the power continued surging through his body, energy exploded outward from his core.
BOOM!
The breakthrough succeeded in an instant.
Soon after, Caelus’s senses expanded to an entirely new degree as Overlord-Rank power flooded every cell of his body. His perception of the surrounding world became vastly clearer, and he could feel the fundamental difference between his previous state and his current existence.
He had finally reached Overlord Rank.
However, instead of celebrating, his thoughts immediately returned to Sylvia.
With that thought in mind, Caelus turned toward Gorn, Valerica, Lucian, and the others who had been fighting alongside him.
"We’re going back. We need to find Sylvia."
Hearing this, no one argued.
Before departing, Caelus calibrated his Half-Dragon Transformation to match his new rank.
[Half-Dragon Transformation Calibrated.]
[Combat Score: 75 (Overlord 1)]
With his new strength settled, Caelus made his decision. There was no reason to waste any more time.
"I’m going to pay Glaciana a visit."
Immediately after saying this, he activated the teleportation device she had given him, and his body vanished in a flash of cold blue light.
Moments later, Caelus arrived at Glaciana’s kingdom.
The familiar frozen landscape stretched before him, with massive icicles surrounding the territory and Ice Elves moving through the streets.
Soon, the same white-haired child from before approached him almost immediately.
"Have you come to visit Her Majesty?"
Hearing this, Caelus nodded.
"Take me to her."
With that, the child led him through the icy streets toward the palace.
As they walked, Caelus noticed someone familiar standing near the entrance.
It was the human who had appeared alongside Glaciana during the hunt for the Hollow Beasts in the Tier 1 World.
Just then, the man turned and recognized Caelus immediately.
"We meet again."
Hearing this, Caelus simply nodded in response.
The man smiled slightly before continuing.
"I never expected you to reach the Tier 2 World in such a short period of time. You’ve exceeded my expectations."
After saying this, he extended his hand.
"I’m Aldric."
Caelus shook it briefly.
"Caelus Kross."
With the introduction complete, Caelus turned toward the palace.
"I need to speak with Glaciana."
Hearing this, Aldric gestured for him to follow, and the two entered together.
Inside the throne room, Glaciana sat upon her frozen throne with the same bored expression Caelus remembered. As he approached, her icy eyes shifted toward him.
"You’ve returned sooner than I anticipated."
Hearing this, Caelus didn’t waste time with pleasantries.
"I need your help."
Glaciana raised an eyebrow.
"What kind of help?"
Hearing her question, Caelus immediately answered.
"My girlfriend has been kidnapped."
The words hung in the air for a moment.
Soon after, Glaciana’s expression changed to genuine surprise.
"How did that happen?"
"She was taken by the Ender of Death."
Immediately after hearing this, both Glaciana and Aldric froze completely.
Their expressions shifted from surprise to outright disbelief.
"The Ender of Death?" Aldric repeated slowly.
Caelus nodded.
"She’s somewhere in the Star King World. I’m certain of it."
Hearing this, Aldric’s brow furrowed deeply.
"Do you even know what the Ender of Death looks like?"
"She looks exactly like my girlfriend."
After hearing this, the confusion on their faces only deepened.
Just then, Aldric suddenly seemed to remember something.
"Show me what your girlfriend looks like."
Hearing this, Caelus reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. He opened a picture of Sylvia and turned the screen toward them.
The moment Aldric saw it, his eyes widened.
"That’s her. That’s exactly like the girl who killed someone from the Norse Faction."
"Are you saying this the other person who looks like your girlfriend is the Ender Of Death?"
After saying this, his voice dropped slightly.
"The reports said she was Level 8 Emperor Rank."
Meanwhile, Glaciana studied the image carefully before speaking.
"I cannot promise you anything, but you are far too weak to search for an Ender of Death by yourself."
Hearing this, Caelus looked directly at her.
"Who decided that?"
Without warning, he released his power.
Immediately, Overlord-Rank energy exploded outward from his body, filling the throne room with overwhelming pressure. His Combat Score of 75 became visible to both Glaciana and Aldric.
Seeing this, they both went completely still.
Glaciana’s eyes widened as she stared at him.
"You... you’ve reached Overlord Rank?"
As she spoke, she stood from her throne, clearly struggling to process what she was sensing.
"You only entered the Tier 2 World three days ago. How is this possible?"
Her voice carried genuine disbelief.
"The fastest Overlord I know of took an entire year to reach this rank. You’ve accomplished it in three days."
After saying this, she shook her head slowly.
"This violates the normal rules of progression."
"Wait. Are you the same person who was conquering the Tier 1 expansions at an absurd rate?"
