He was going to break some chains!

He said so simply before his body began to pulse with power right away.

Rose's expression shifted, something unreadable flickering behind her emerald eyes as she processed what he was saying.

"The chains binding advancement?" she asked.

"Mmm," Achilles confirmed.

His consciousness expanded outward, and Rose felt the shift in the ambient authority around them.

It was subtle at first…like the distant rumble of an approaching storm heard from miles away, more pressure than sound. But as his perception deepened, as he turned the full weight of his elevated existence toward examining the fundamental structure of her being, the sensation intensified into something that made her genetic flames flicker with involuntary response.

And there, written into the very fabric of her being like equations carved into bedrock, were the chains.

They materialized into visibility as Achilles's perception forced them to manifest…dozens upon dozens of silvery constraints wrapped around aspects of her existence she'd never been able to directly perceive!

Rose stared at these chains with coldness and fascination as Achilles…

"Break."

He uttered simply.

HUUM

The ambient authority that had been subtly present suddenly intensified into something that made reality itself pulse. Rose felt it.. the vast ocean of power that Achilles had become, reserves so deep and boundless that they defied quantification!

The ocean of his existence surged forward.

CRACK-CRACK-CRACK-CRACK!

Not one chain, dozens shattered simultaneously, their silver light fracturing into fragments that exploded outward like shrapnel made of solidified authority. Rose gasped from the sheer intensity of sensation as fundamental limitations that had constrained her entire existence simply ceased to be!

The chains around her advancement potential. The chains limiting her perception of higher-dimensions. The chains restricting how much genetic authority she could manifest simultaneously. The chains preventing her from accessing certain tiers of spatial manipulation.

All of them shattered in a single coordinated assault!

His sea seemed to dim slightly when he broke so many chains forcefully.

But right after.

"Assimilate!"

The chains were absorbed as his sea, his Breadth of Existence, shone even more luminously compared to before.

Rose watched with clinical fascination as Achilles effectively created a perpetual engine…spending power to break constraints, then consuming those constraints to restore the power spent, all while growing marginally stronger with each cycle through some process of refinement she couldn't quite parse.

And he pounded the chains around her relentlessly!

CRACK-CRACK-CRACK-CRACK-CRACK-CRACK!

More chains shattered!

All of them unmade in seconds.

Achilles consumed the fragments, and his reserves surged higher still. The ocean of his power was actively growing as he worked, expanding with each constraint destroyed, becoming more vast and more terrible with every limitation he erased from her Existence.

Rose felt her body beginning to change.

Blue-green light erupted from her form!

Her water-form physiology began restructuring itself. Her genetic flames intensified, their green fire reaching temperatures that made previous peak outputs seem lukewarm by comparison.

More chains shattered. Then more. Then more still as Achilles continued regardless of how hard it was.

Rose kept her gaze locked on him throughout the process.

She watched him.

He had risen to heights that let him do unfathomable things.

And the first thing he did was ensure she could stand beside him.

She felt…

Not gratitude…that was too simple, too shallow for what she felt watching him work. It was something more fundamental, more absolute.

Recognition that this man would spend impossible power without hesitation if it meant she wouldn't be left behind. That he valued her presence beside him more than he valued anything else.

More chains shattered.

Rose felt doors opening inside her consciousness. She could suddenly see aspects of existence that had been completely invisible just minutes before, could comprehend authorities that had been incomprehensible before!

Her body radiated increasing power as she felt herself becoming unfathomaly lighter

The final chains trembled, their authority compromised, their certainty shattered!

Rose gathered her own power.. the blue waters and green flames that were fundamentally hers, now elevated and refined beyond previous limitations. She could feel capabilities awakening that had been dormant her entire existence, feel understanding flooding into spaces that had been kept deliberately empty.

Achilles struck the final cluster.

Rose struck with him!

BOOM!

The sensation was heavy!

Rose felt herself moving through Scales of Existence like climbing steps carved into the fabric of reality itself. Each upward transition revealed new depths of understanding, new layers of perception, new capabilities that had been locked away behind now-broken chains.

Prompts materialized before Achilles's perception.

|Rose Adrian has advanced to the Level Zero Scale of Existence- Pre-Civilizational.|

|Unknown and unfathomable changes are blooming within her unique existence.|

…!

The words pulsed with meaning.

Rose's body radiated terrific power.. the kind of presence that made reality uncertain about how to properly respond to her existence.

Blue-green light surrounded her in patterns that suggested she occupied more space than her physical form indicated, as if her presence extended into dimensions conventional perception couldn't properly track.

She moved.

Not walking or flying but simply ceasing to be in one location and beginning to be beside Achilles.

Rose brought her forehead to rest against his, and power rippled outward from the contact…two entities who had both broken free of their designated constraints.

"You know I love you, right?" she said quietly, and there were tears in her eyes despite the clinical precision with which she'd watched him work.

Achilles smiled. "I know."

Rose nodded, pulling back just enough to meet his gaze fully. Her emerald eyes blazed with determination that matched his own.

"Keep taking me however far you go," she said, her voice steady. "I will always be right beside you."

She paused, and something dangerous flickered in those emerald depths.

"And for now..." Her expression shifted…cold fury replacing softer emotions. "I want to be right beside you where those psychopathic butterflies tried to kill you."

Her gaze sharpened with predatory intensity.

"You haven't killed them yet, have you?"

Achilles's shook his head slowly, purple-gold eyes gleaming with anticipation.

"I've isolated them from each other," he confirmed. "We need to hurry as they may have alerted those even stronger than them..."

Rose's eyes flashed with deadly light that made the space around them ripple with heat.

The Nar'Thyss had tried to hurt him. Had attacked the man she'd given her heart to, had attempted to write tragedy into his story, had dared to think they could feed on his suffering without consequence.

Unacceptable.

"Would you be able to forcefully transfer them to a region of the Void far from Star Sea Beta-13?" she asked, her voice carrying the kind of calm that preceded terrible violence.

...!

Achilles's eyes sharpened. The Void…that space between spaces where conventional rules broke down, where time itself became negotiable, where they could operate without risk of interference.

His eyes pulsed with brilliance as possibilities cascaded through his elevated consciousness.

"I should be able to," he said carefully, working through complex weavings of The Void. He truly did not know his current limits after becoming One With Existence!

"I will try."

Rose nodded, and the smile that crossed her face would have made hardened warriors reconsider their life choices.

Her emerald eyes blazed with coldness.

"Okay. That would give us all the time to become..."

She paused, letting the implication settle.

"...truly good friends with them!"
