​[Supreme World. First and Strongest Domain.]

​Within a colossal, perfectly white castle, the air crackled with quiescent power. A woman, the very embodiment of transcendental beauty, with long, flowing white hair, wearing a white dress embroidered with silver gemstones, slowly opened her eyes. They glowed like flawless, crystalline gemstones under the diffused light.

​An unknown, immeasurable amount of spiritual energy, infinitely denser than any known Order, radiated gently from her. Instantly, three figures—a male and two females—all emanating the terrifying aura of Tenth Order powerhouses, materialized and dropped to their knees with reverent speed.

​"Greetings to the Mother of all Gods!" they greeted in perfect unison, their heads bowed so low their robes pooled on the polished floor.

​She moved her gaze over them, then closed her eyes again, a sigh as smooth as silk passing her lips.

​"Finally, she has awoken."

​The pronouncement carried the weight of universal law.

​"When she enters the Great World, bring her to me, no matter the cost," she instructed, her voice calm but absolute. "If anyone tries to stop or harm her—kill them. You may wipe out a nation if they impede you." She paused.

"As of now... she is in the Upper World. We will patiently wait for her inevitable ascension."

​The three Tenth Order powerhouses nodded immediately, their obedience total.

​"As the Mother of Gods ordered."

​She smiled faintly, a brief, luminous flash, and then closed her eyes, receding back into slumber.

​[Second Domain, Aurelia's Castle.]

​"This?!" Aurelia, the Queen of Light, froze mid-thought, her senses reeling from the sudden, brief surge of power that saturated the entirety of the Supreme World.

​"The Supreme Ruler actually woke up? But only for a minute?" She muttered, her face a mask of profound surprise and disbelief.

​"My Queen," Raphael asked, startled by the disruption. "Do you think something is about to happen?"

​"She went back to sleep," Aurelia noted, rising from her throne with wary grace. "But if she gave a command to her followers... perhaps an order for our destruction, we wouldn't be able to fight back."

​"Those three Tenth Order figures are at the same rank as me, not to mention the tens of thousands of Ninth, Eighth, and Seventh Order powerhouses under her direct command," Aurelia confided, her tone unusually humble. She closed her eyes, sensing nothing but the remnants of the energy surge, and sighed in relief.

​"Perhaps it's something else... The Supreme Ruler wouldn't attack us unless we transgressed against her highest law." She sat back down. "All is well. For now, we are safe."

​[Third Domain: Lilith's Castle.]

​Lilith froze, her favorite cookie stopping an inch from her lips.

​"She... Why is she awake? And why did she go back to sleep so quickly?" She muttered to herself, placing the cookie in her mouth, chewing, and swallowing it thoughtfully.

​"I think I should thank Aurelia for stopping me," Lilith mused, licking her lips.

"Because if I had successfully destroyed the Lower World, and she detected it... I don't think I would even survive long enough to see God Wolf again."

​"The Supreme Ruler is someone who has broken the chains of the Tenth Order and entered a rank no one knows of. Although she can be addressed as a Tenth Order, her strength is far beyond that." Lilith chuckled lightly, the sound dry:

"Even at my highest level of power, I wouldn't be able to scratch her clothes... But why did she wake up for only a minute? Did something specific happen?" The enigma deeply confused the cunning Queen of the Underworld.

___

​At the moment, the Great World was in silent chaos. The sudden awakening of the Supreme Ruler, even for a minute, caused immense commotion across the three factions. They were all scrambling to remain at their absolute best behavior, knowing that a single word from her could instantly erase any of their factions from existence.

​[Lester's Faction, The Bloody Dominion.]

​"Husband, what should we do now?" Madeline asked, her usual icy composure slightly rattled. She stared at Lester, who stood before his massive, obsidian throne, his back to her and his first bride, Nymeria.

​"We didn't get any specific command or warning from your mother," Lester, the Blood King, stated, his tone serious and controlled. "Which means, the event does not directly concern us, yet. For now, just focus entirely on your task, Madeline. You must locate God Wolf. I am certain he has ascended and is currently in the Upper World."

​"Yes!" Madeline nodded, her voice tight, determined to execute the command flawlessly.

[Upper World. Plains near the Red Dungeon.]

​Sunny, having just stabilized his Fourth Order power, was resting when a monumental wave of energy erupted from Josephine's direction.

​BOOOOOOM!!!!

​A dazzling, pure white pillar of light shot into the sky, the sheer density of the energy momentarily freezing Sunny's thoughts.

​"This? What in the nine hells is happening here?"

​{It seems Master's mate is unlocking another bloodline,}

The system responded, its tone surprisingly neutral.

​Sunny's eyes widened in profound shock. "Another Bloodline?!"

​A moment later, the white light was violently overlaid by an equally intense red light. The combined force of the surging energy wave was so powerful and erratic that it threw Sunny, a newly ascended Fourth Order powerhouse, backward, sliding against the earth for several feet.

​"What the hell?!" Sunny roared, scrambling back to his feet, activating all his defensive skills in a rush. "I am a Fourth Order powerhouse with a fully unlocked elemental defense, and that energy just threw me to the ground, even from a hundred miles away!"

​"How violent is the energy surging around her right now?" he asked himself, his face grim.

​He recalled Josephine's innate abilities, a terrifying realization dawning on him. "She already had a bloodline skill that converts anyone weaker than her into mindless puppets who follow her every order. And now this breakthrough... Wait."

​Sunny's eyes widened further, piecing together the true implications.

​"If she breaks through now and enters the First Order, won't that mean she can take control of countless God Rank warriors who are below her in power, and turn them all into... Puppets?"

The sheer potential for instant dominion was terrifying.
