âOh, a good seed,â A voice echoed in the Void as the scene of Carlos kneeling and crying played in the creatureâs head.
An aura invisible to everyone present there could be seen materializing around Carlos.
***
Aakesh was conversing with Lily, forgetting about the ruler as Lily excitedly told him her experiences over those past decades.
While Aakesh was conversing, he wasnât aware that he had made an enemy only by clearing the world.
When Carlos found out that Aakesh was the reason behind him getting forced out of the world, failing to kill the stall owner, and making his vow null, Carlos would transfer his resentment toward Aakesh.
What would happen to the enmity was up to the future.

The individuals had confused expressions as they looked toward each other when countless columns of lights started appearing.
When the light disappeared, in place of it, creatures presented themselves.
âWhat happened?â Katrina muttered as she was forcefully awakened from her sleep and transferred here.
Katrina then looked around her, and a shocked expression appeared on her face as it was a familiar sight. It was the rulerâs continent.
Katrina suddenly sensed something a few million miles away from her. She looked in that direction and found Aakesh and Lily.
Aakesh, at the same time, also sensed the arrival of a few familiar figures.
After looking around, Aakesh found Katrina and Autumn quite a distance away from him.
âEh!â Aakesh couldnât help but exclaim in surprise after seeing the duo here. He had requested the system for the communication talisman, giving up his commission, only to find out that he didnât need it, and Autumn and Katrina arrived at the rulerâs territory even without him calling them.
***
The individuals were getting over the shock of suddenly appearing here when a consciousness that sent chills down everyoneâs spine passed through the territory.
Feeling the consciousness, the central rulers knelt one after another to greet their ruler, while the individuals who had just appeared here were pushed down by their knees to welcome it.
While everyone knelt, only a single being stood straight, becoming a particular for everyone.
âWhat creature is this blue-skinned being? Why I havenât seen it?â An individual, kneeling on the ground, couldnât help but think after seeing that the being was the only one standing straight in the sides he and the other familiar figures were.
***
When the consciousness had suddenly appeared and swept across the area, even Aakesh had felt his heart beat skipping for a moment. But he soon calmed down as he recognized the identity of the owner. Who could it be if not the ruler of this territory and the daughter of the being supposed to be the creator of the Conspiracy continent?
There was no pressure that could make Aakesh kneel, so he stood straight, and in his influence, Lily, who also felt the pressure to kneel, negated it and comfortably sat on Aakeshâs head.

âRUMBLE!â
âRUMBLE!â
âRUMBLE!â
The land started shaking again while the air flew at an unimaginable rate, turning into an extinction-level storm.
Soon, the air turned into blades as from wherever it passed, and blood would flow with it. No central ruler attempted to defend or even groan in pain despite that.
On the other hand, the individuals attempted to defend themselves, only to feel horrified the next moment. When they tried to use defensive skills, they found that their energy was restricted, and no matter what, they couldnât influence it to activate the skills/spells.
Even though Aakeshâs physique had crossed an overpowered stage, even it failed to defend itself from the air, and wherever it would touch, blue blood would spill. But for some reason, the blood wouldnât fall down or flow with the air, as if the air had no strength to move the weight of the blood.
The blue blood would vaporize, and its vapor would then assimilate to Aakesh, while his injuries would restore themselves in no time.
Aakesh didnât attempt to defend himself as he could sense that there was a restriction on his energy, and if he forcefully tried to fight back, the air and pressure would grow at a horrendous rate.
Even though Aakesh wouldnât die as he had the system with him to defend and rescue him if the situation turned too ugly for him to solve, Aakesh still had no interest in using that option for something like this.
Time flew by.
The air suddenly went still as if the storm was an illusion, but the cuts spread across every being present there, was proof that it was real.
âI knew you wouldnât fail my expectations.â
Aakesh suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from behind. He turned around, only to find Lilith smilingly looking at him.
âWhat are you doing here?â Aakesh expressionlessly asked, not caring for the reason for how she had suddenly appeared behind him.
When Lilith had entered the store, Aakesh had asked the system for his chance of defeating her, and the system had told him that it was zero, so for someone of her strength to appear behind him without Aakesh even finding out was nothing but a child play.
âI came here to fulfill a mission,â Lilith smilingly responded.
Aakesh couldnât help but get surprised as he hadnât expected Lilith to respond to her question.
âHow did you find out my strength and race?â Lilith suddenly asked Aakesh. No one would stay calm if someone suddenly appeared behind them, but Aakesh stayed expressionless as if he already knew her strength.
âWhat do you mean by your expectations?â Aakesh ignored Lilithâs question and instead asked one of his. It was the system that had told him, and Aakesh would never tell her about the system.
Even though the system was a member of the Yantra race and was spread across the three dimensions, the system with Aakesh was different from them. No Yantra race member would be able to show that scene to Aakesh.
(A/N: Itâs the scene of the creation of the Multiverse Aakesh had seen during the language quest.)
Lilith only smiled, seeing Aakesh ignoring her question.
âSomeone wants to meet you,â Like Aakesh, Lilith ignored his question, and told him.
âWh-â
Aakesh wanted to ask who the person was, but before he could complete his question, the view in front of him suddenly changed.
