Endless Extraction in a Game-Like World

BOOM!

A terrifying amount of power suddenly erupted from Caelus, surging outward uncontrollably with such intensity that the entire Star King World seemed to tremble beneath it.

As the power spread, factions scattered across different regions immediately sensed the overwhelming power and turned their attention toward its source. Even those who did not know what was happening could tell that something extraordinary had occurred.

Meanwhile, Glaciana and Aldric, who were still relatively close to Caelus, were among the first to react. The moment they felt the enormous pressure coming from him, both of their expressions changed drastically.

"What is this power?"

Hearing this, neither of them could believe what they were sensing. The Ender of Origin Power within Caelus had become completely unstable, surging through his body at full force.

At the same time, the ground beneath the forest began trembling. Soon, shadows started crawling out from beneath the trees, gradually taking physical form. One after another, enormous shadowy creatures emerged from the darkness until the entire forest was surrounded by them. Within moments, thousands of Level 8 Emperor-ranked shadow creatures had appeared.

Seeing this, Glaciana’s eyes widened as she looked across the forest.

"Such an intense aura..."

Immediately after, Aldric used his perception to determine their numbers, and his expression became even more serious.

"There are at least ten thousand of them."

Yet despite the overwhelming number of Level 8 Emperors surrounding the area, the center of everything remained Caelus. He stood motionless as his Ender of Origin Power continued erupting from his body.

Meanwhile, his mind was still being flooded with visions of the strange paradise he had seen before, the same image of the six children playing together. For a brief moment, the vision became clearer before suddenly fading away.

Then, Caelus’s eyes opened.

Just then, a system notification immediately appeared before him.

[Ding!]

[You’ve regained your power: Origin Lock (Secret)]

BOOM!

The moment the notification appeared, another wave of power erupted from Caelus. By this point, his eyes had already transformed into dragon-like pupils, and a card representing his newly recovered power manifested before him.

As the disturbance continued, it attracted even more powerful individuals. Soon, the Ender of Fate, along with Jeffrey, who normally operated from the shadows of Earth, arrived in the vicinity. The moment they saw Caelus, both of them became stunned.

The Ender of Fate stared at the figure standing in the center of the forest.

"Is that Caelus Kross?"

Hearing this, Jeffrey looked toward him and slowly nodded.

"I’m afraid so."

After hearing his answer, the Ender of Fate’s expression became complicated.

"How is he already at the Overlord Rank?"

Before either of them could figure out what was happening, another group arrived.

Just then, the Star King Administration, the organization responsible for overseeing the Star King World and acting as its judges, was also drawn to the disturbance.

Their leader immediately stepped forward and raised his voice.

"Stop this attack! In the name of the Star King, we will strike you down!"

As he gave the command, the members of the Star King Administration began releasing their Star Power. Immediately afterward, a tremendous amount of star-related energy surged through the surroundings as they prepared to suppress Caelus.

Seeing this, Caelus simply looked toward them.

He did not answer.

Instead, he activated Star Magic.

[Star Compression.]

In an instant, the Star Power surrounding the members of the Star King Administration began behaving strangely. The energy that they had released suddenly slipped beyond their control and began gathering toward a single point. Soon, the massive amount of Star Power compressed violently before collapsing inward.

Seeing this, the members of the Star King Administration stared in disbelief.

"Did he just control our Star-related skills?"

Their eyes widened as they realized what Caelus had done. At the same time, Glaciana and Aldric were equally stunned.

Their leader immediately recognized the technique.

"No way..."

After saying this, he stared at Caelus before continuing in disbelief.

"I recognize that power. That’s Star Compression. It’s one of the Star King’s Magic techniques."

"That ability existed within the Star King."

After hearing this, the members of the Star King Administration began looking at Caelus differently. Their hostility was replaced by confusion and suspicion. They had just witnessed someone directly manipulate a technique associated with the Star King himself.

However, Caelus ignored all of them.

Instead, his attention remained fixed on the shadow creatures surrounding the forest. With that, he activated his newly recovered Origin Lock.

Instantly, the space around the ten thousand shadow creatures became completely locked down. Every creature within Caelus’s field of influence was frozen within the range of his ability, unable to escape or resist the effect.

Then, Caelus raised his hand.

Supernova.

Immediately after, an enormous amount of Star Power erupted from him and swept across the locked battlefield. The attack engulfed all of the shadow creatures simultaneously. Ten thousand Level 8 Emperor-ranked beings were instantly consumed by the overwhelming energy, their bodies vaporizing almost simultaneously.

Soon, the entire forest fell silent.

Without even looking at the aftermath, Caelus descended toward the small house where Sylvia and the Ender of Death were located. As he entered the area, his expression remained cold, and he looked toward the Ender of Death, who was still clutching her head and appeared extremely vulnerable.

Seeing her, Caelus’s voice was cold.

"Die."

Immediately afterward, he gathered Star Power and prepared to unleash Supernova again.

However, before he could release the attack, Sylvia suddenly moved between him and the Ender of Death.

She raised both hands, directly blocking his path.

Seeing this, Caelus’s pupils constricted, and his expression became even colder.

"Have you been mind-controlled by the Ender of Death, Sylvia?"

Hearing this, Sylvia immediately shook her head.

"No."

She looked directly at Caelus and spoke calmly despite the enormous power surrounding him.

"Hubby, I know you’re mad. But don’t kill her. I don’t blame her for what she did."

Hearing this, Caelus’s expression became strange. He could not understand why Sylvia, the person who was kidnapped, would willingly stand in front of the person responsible for it.

Before he could respond, the Ender of Death slowly rose.

As she stood, her expression was exhausted and empty. Rather than attempting to escape, she looked directly at Caelus.

"Kill me, Caelus Kross."

Her voice contained no anger or defiance. There was simply exhaustion.

"I don’t want to live anymore."

Hearing this, Caelus looked at her for a moment before answering bluntly.

"I was waiting for you to ask that."

Immediately after, Sylvia turned toward him.

"Caelus, listen to me!"

With that, she walked directly toward him despite the Star Power still circulating around his body and she wrapped her arms tightly around him.

Caelus froze seeing this.

Then, Sylvia pressed her face against him and said.

"Read my mind."
