"Who placed this restriction?" Sunny muttered, his voice tight with frustration as the sheer magnitude of his swift power-up met an impossible barrier.

​{"...?!"}

​"You know something, say it!" Sunny demanded, already anticipating the usual obfuscation.

​{Master's rank and System's level is too low.}

​"Even at the peak of the God rank I can't upgrade the system... What requirement do I need?" He was beyond annoyance; he needed a solution.

​{Master must enter the first order and also need One Omni soul stone from any Hell rank difficulty secret realm.}

​"Secret realm? thanks to Zohar's memories, I know what I can expect from these secret realms?" Sunny nodded.

​The system took on its familiar, ethereal human appearance before Sunny.

​{Master... This is the Omni soul stone.}

​A vibrant blue glowing ruby, pulsating with immense, ancient energy, materialized before them.

​"Okay... Where is this secret realm?" Sunny asked, getting quickly to his feet. He was already planning his next move.

​{Secret realm can be located in the higher worlds.}

​"Hmm." Sunny rubbed his jaw, processing the implications. "It means, I will have to visit the higher worlds. With Zohar's memories I know how to get there... But..."

​He turned his head toward Josephine's distant location, his expression hardening:

"I can't leave without setting things right here... I must take over the whole lower world, with my trusted people as leaders. That way, I won't worry about things here."

​"Can I use the unsealing card?" he asked, hoping for a shortcut.

​{At the moment, No... If used, Master's energy will be too wide for him to control alone. The System will have to subside the energy for master, but my Level is too low.}

​"When you upgraded for the first time, I should have known this will be a problem," Sunny muttered, kicking himself for the foresight he lacked.

​BOOOOOOOM!!!

​A terrifying crash interrupted his thoughts. Sunny and the system spun to face Josephine, where a red lightning bolt was descending.

​"What the hell?!! Is she also having a tribulation?!!" Sunny yelled in shock, the implications hitting him instantly.

​{Master, only those with Ancient Bloodlines can trigger a tribulation.}

​"Wait... You are saying, Josephine's true Bloodline is an ancient Bloodline?!" Sunny exclaimed, his shock rapidly shifting to a profound sense of awe and danger.

​{Correct!!}

​BOOOM!!

​The lightning smashed into Josephine's location, sending a powerful, volatile wave of energy ripping in all directions.

​Sunny watched, mesmerized, as Josephine was lifted into the air. Her eyes were a blinding, pure white. Her silver hair glowed intensely, growing impossibly long, reaching her lower thigh—a visible manifestation of an awakened, ancient power.

​{Master, Mate have advanced into the Divine rank, stage one.}

​Sunny exhaled in relief, but the next warning froze him completely.

​{Warning!!!}

{Warning!!!}

{Mate have unlocked her true Bloodline.}

​"Isn't that a good thing?!" Sunny roared at the system.

​{Mate's energy is unstable!}

​"Damn it! Explain!" Sunny snapped, his hands clenched. Josephine was in danger, and this system was speaking in cryptic warnings.

​{Mate needs to be cool down.}

​Hearing the simple, unhelpful phrase, Sunny let out a frustrated growl. Four majestic, dark wings burst from his back, and without hesitation, he shot toward her. He wouldn't stand by and watch.

​The system's human appearance dissolved into light particles.

{Master, you can't interrupt her cultivation process!!}

​Sunny slammed to a stop, hovering in the air. He was a beacon of power, yet utterly helpless:

"I can't do anything, the second lightning will strike any time from now, and I also can't stop it," he muttered, his fists clenched in agonizing helplessness.

​BOOOOOOOM!!!

​The second red lightning tore through the sky and violently collided with Josephine, sending her plummeting toward the ground.

​"System! Has she taken the fruit and evolution stones?!"

​{Yes, Master.}

​Sunny nodded, relief washing over him that at least the preparation was done. He flew toward the falling figure, catching her gently in his arms before slowing landing on the scorched earth.

​"Fifth stage of the Divine rank," Sunny muttered, staring at Josephine's flawless face, her eyes closed. He was in awe of her increase in power, but worried by the silence.

​"Love... Are you okay?" he whispered, brushing a lock of her impossibly long, glowing hair.

​{Bloodline successful unlocked.}

​Sunny nodded. "She mentioned something about being the reincarnation of the moon goddess... Are the rumors true?"

​Josephine's eyes snapped open. They were still pure white, but the look she gave him was utterly alien—staring at him like he was prey. The recognition and warmth in her gaze were completely replaced by something else, something he easily recognised.

​"...?!"

Sunny was stunned, jolted by the primal, unsettling look.

​'System... What is happening?' he demanded, a genuine wave of fear and disbelief washing over him.

​{Mate needs to be cool down.}

​'Are you mad!! She isn't hot! How can I cool her down!!!?'

​{"....?!"}

​'Say It!!'

​{Master's need to cool her down by having sex with her!}

​"....?!"

Sunny was completely dumbfounded, his mind short-circuiting at the absurd, desperate instruction.

​{If not, the energy in her will explode, killing her on spot.}

The final, dire warning snapped him out of his shock, replacing embarrassment with terrifying urgency.

​[Supreme World.]

​In the highest and biggest silver castle of the Supreme World, a beautiful woman with long white hair and mesmerizing eyes slowly opened them, a small, knowing smile gracing her lips.

​She cast her gaze upon the cluster of winged people before her, who instantly dropped to their knees, bowing in profound respect.

​"She is awakened... But..." She muttered.

​The Queen rose from her throne and took a purposeful step forward. The silver floor beneath her foot instantly flashed and turned into a layer of glittering ice. She took more steps, descending the stairs, her long white fur coat trailing behind her.

​"He survived too." she stated, her voice crystalline.

​The angels' faces were filled with shock and confusion at the reference.

​"My Queen, he isn't really yours. He belongs to the one he chooses," an old man with a glowing staff—a high-ranking elder—interjected from the side.

​"I built him with 80% of my powers, although he will have a new mother, he will still follow me." She came to a stop.

"He will be the one to rule the Supreme world." She smiled lightly, a flicker of fierce possessiveness in her eyes.

​"He can only do that if he marries you," the old man challenged.

​The woman whirled on him, and an aura of a Tenth Order powerhouse burst forth, a tidal wave of pure, crushing pressure that forced the old man completely to the ground, adding immense weight to those already kneeling.

​"I don't have much time... But that doesn't mean my powers have declined. The stage of his birth is already set, I just need to wait for some years." She stood at a panoramic window, staring out at the floating clouds.

​"That kid, Lester; is keeping causing troubles in the whole lower worlds, shouldn't we stop him?" the old man asked, desperately trying to change the subject.

​"Why should we? Let him have his fun, and create the path for my future husband," she said with a bright, terrifying smile on her face.

​"I Am waiting, Infinite."
