The ether orb around myself and Ava locks in place, then bursts forward with a steady and extremely fast pace.

It is multiple times faster than the standard fast travel orbs that transport people within the Ellipsia Citadel, yet the travel time is still set to arrive in over eight hours.

In my fully unsealed form, I’ve already sensed around this Citadel for a few hundred thousand kilometers on every side. Plus, I know it takes less than an hour to travel about a million kilomete...

Down in the Lower Realm, on the human world, in the outer edges of the Crimson City, deep within a canyon filled with the highest quality dungeons in the Dark Continent, a Demon and Dragon stand before a containment case holding enough mana to bring this Labyrinth to a collapsing point.

A ping in the Demon’s ear arrives not long after he sent his request, and it comes from Bri, the woman who gave him this task in the first place.

“The Rising Emperor has granted you permission ...

The auras of the soul weapons my generals pull out from their item storages all give off extremely strong and strange vibrations that I can’t understand. Well, other than Maria’s which I cannot even sense.

The ones that do give off readable energy waves all have a tint of Noble Vibrations laced into them, but at the same time, feel unique and different from my own or any of the noble demons I’ve felt with similar power.

With the seals blocking me from using my own vibrations...

While standing in the center of the tower, using advanced ether commands to stay within the walls, I turn my gaze around in a circle to take in their true appearances.

I put up my purple barrier, and suppress all of my ether and mana control so that I can take a small lap around the center of the room to personally welcome each general eye to eye.

The visualizations from the lower realm were one thing, but opening my eyes and perceiving the real thing is far more awe-inspiring. 2025-02-24 00:00:06 +0000 UTC View Post

As the generals disappear from the Lower Realm, all of Alveron’s orbiting arrays and surveillance systems watch every moment of it.

They track how fast the generals disappear, the density of the mana and divine threads that formed and were used, the process in which the unstable green threads left behind collapsed back to their natural, less dense states, and lastly calculated the direction in which they shifted with as much accuracy as possible.

Of course, using normal means, t...

As I ask if my generals are ready to ascend, a visual of Alveron’s consciousness comes back online, viewing us from Brymia, as all transmission points of the prison are now frozen and cut off from the rest of space.

However, there is far more than one satellite orbiting around the Great Belt of Brymia and its star.

They have their own transmission routers and surveillance arrays that can capture the scene taking place from an outsider's perspective. This is shared through the li...

“What is the meaning of this…? Alveron. You do not get to make fools of us. The 5 Great Families own this Galaxy. Allowing you to maintain control over your sectors out here is a privilege. I demand you turn off these suppression arrays! You and this new client of yours are as good as dead if you do not comply right now!”

Ava and I begin to make our way back to the Central Tower in the Ellipsia Citadel.

While floating through the air, I use a light magic perk mixed with my stealth skill to create a reflective bubble around us, ensuring we remain unseen.

In my Demon Lord Form, floating around using the proper airways and ether commands for travel wouldn’t be out of the ordinary. However, a random Lord seeing a human and a Goblin Queen entering the Central Tower in this manner could spark unwanted ...

While catching up with the Warlords, I can’t help but question one thing about their illegal avatars.

“Why haven’t you just connected these to the Citadel? It wouldn't limit their command freedom at all…”

I think about the fact that there was no way I could have contemplated such a complex craft just a few days ago. However, the inner workings of these avatars look advanced enough to handle settings like this without altering any of their current features.

I float over to the High Orc Tower and open up the ceiling unannounced.

The only head in the room that turns my way while I’m editing the ether commands to make an opening in the tower is Ember, but as I float down on the opposite side of the long dark room and close the ceiling, everyone else in the room turns to notice me as well.

Ava is the next to make eye contact with me, as her instincts pull her gaze my way, along with a much deeper link between us—she is my general, af...

Two full days pass.

—

An unfathomable amount of High Noble Vibrations are distorting the Sea of Corruption.

What used to be a dark, silent, and motionless cold ocean has turned into one full of raging waves and a unique Radiation that will make any 1st Class or below Lord that comes within one million kilometers feel as though their grasp on the system is being suppressed.

These waves bursting out from the sea peak when two incredible lifeforms overcome their limits....

The bright flash of light fades on the other side of the solar system where Kelfar once was.

Maria’s enormous Angelic Form cycles Soul Energy and True Core threads through the Destroyer Class Soul Weapon that houses the child-like soul of a planet.

At the peak of the blast, when both halves of Kelfar were obliterated in a shockwave, a connection was formed between Maria and the blade. She accepted it and fueled this lost energy with enough pure power, giving it a vessel in her s...

Lucian Morvale, a meticulous Family Head in the Cyan Zone of the Upper Realm, sends a simple remark down to the Green Zone.

It is truly meant as a technical precaution with no ulterior motives. The Morvale family head has been wondering about this new arrival to the path of Nobility in the Upper Realm for over three and a half years now. It’s not often a new candidate for a new family head comes along—less than one every ten thousand years on average—and, of course, the chances of...

While the first known Noble Grade Destroyer Class Soul Weapon of this era is being born, the Upper Realm remains calm and still.

The Lower Class Lords in the Ellipsia Citadel are living better lives than they have ever known before.

Under the rule of this New Drako Vermillion Demon Lord, the servants who would normally strip them of every ether they could in taxes and fees are now shoveling millions of ether into their economy in exchange for trash worlds.

One million ether ...

All transmission devices and technology left on the moon bases have been completely destroyed.

Alveron’s consciousness is split between thousands of worlds, so when the humans are teleported to a small base on a cold world named ‘Kelfar Solar System Data Backup and Bounce Point M-0917’ in its system logs, another identical silver suit of armor boots up to greet them, in a smaller yet nearly identical dome protecting them from the vacuum of space outside.

A dark blue wave of mana and qi-infused ice magic just obliterated four moons, and in less than a tenth of a second, it will collide with the final moon.

Abby has grasped her staff, while Raven and Arie begin powering up, reaching into their item storages to pull out teleportation crystals that lead back to the human world.

Bri and the commanders have barely conceptualized what is going on; their reaction times are slightly slower.

At this rate, the generals will survive, th...

The instant this message comes through, flashes of white light appear in the teleportation hub on the main moon base.

The first to arrive are Raven, Arie, and Abby.

All three of them have fully saturated True Cores and stare up through the clear dome down at the Demonic World below.

To their left, four large moons can be seen in orbit.

Three of these they have been cultivating on over the past few months, while one—the furthest away—is where Maria sent out a messag...

“I’ll be back in a few days. I must leave now to continue my training.”

This is all I message through a quick telepathy channel to the two 1st Class Lords who have just helped me tremendously.

The majority of my mind and body is concentrated on maintaining my Noble Vibration suppression, while the rest alters the Ether Commands around me to ensure that, while flying away from the Citadel at extremely fast speeds, I remain invisible like a ghost.

I take deep breaths whi...

I float back to the High Orc Tower, and unlike before, once I get close enough, the intricate ether commands and structural patterns that made it impossible to see through before are easy for me to crack now.

While leagues above the rest of the Citadel, by simply touching the wall with an open palm, I’m able to take control of the entire building and send a simple message to the High Orc and Blue Ogre inside. They are resting, admiring their newly crafted Soul Weapons and Avatar shell...

With my Noble Vibrations completely suppressed, I just appear as a 20-meter-tall demon floating through the sky back toward the Ellipsia Citadel.

By the end of my week getting used to the sludge of corruption, I was able to push past its suppressive properties.

What felt like a tight, heavy lead blanket over my eyes and entire body at first, became much easier to sense through overtime, like a sea of clear gel.

While my self-regeneration and absorption true core ab...

A brief history of the Vermillion and Morevale families is taught by Seraphel as we make our way further and further from any signs of life.

I learn of a few very interesting facts that widen my perspective on the hierarchy of Demons all the way up the many Zones of the Upper Realm. One fact in particular being that the Vermillion Family head used to be a strong general in the Morevale family army, and that he has a much longer history with the Green Zone of the Upper Realm than just th...

Seraphel replies to my question about his Mysterious connection to this Demonic World.

“Kelfar? How do you know the name of my homeworld?”

My eyebrows raise as the Ellipsia Citadel completely disappears behind us, and we leave the ether surveillance system’s bubble, heading off deep into the seemingly endless, dense green clouds of divine threads.

“It seems to have been chosen as a training ground for my generals who will be ascending soon. I only mention it because ...

Abby floats forward through the departing demonic clouds.

Her aura is strange.

It bursts outward with a strong green light, but to the three commanders that float behind her, they cannot sense it at all.

Behind her, at the edges of her aura, it shimmers and dazzles with yellow light. It even phases through the demonic clouds without directly interacting with them.

Fisher and Lydia’s bright blue and white auras are a far more destructive force on the environment, desp...

The three commanders have left the moon base with additional teleport crystals and unique containment cases, leaving Bri and Alveron as the only ones standing in the surveillance room to watch the inheritance Abby just claimed.

The silver knight's armor has completely stopped moving, as the yellow slug's true body analyzes all the data its systems managed to gather before the whiteout in the blast.

The complex runes and symbols all over the staff match some of the texts it’s see...

I touch down in front of the High Orc tower, and the black doors open slowly, just as they did days ago when I walked in for the first time. Large blue eyes gaze down on me with indifference as I walk inside.

Now that I am capable of using this suppression technique at its most basic state, I’m also able to instinctively understand that Seraphel is using this technique right now, despite the waves of Noble Vibrations coming off of him.

Even when he showed off the intensity of wh...

I trigger the entire surveillance system in the Citadel to shut down after releasing my Noble Vibrations that have been refined and amplified these past few days.

While they still feel quite raw and unfiltered in my eyes, at least I have a small amount of control over their strength and the speed of their flow.

Just four days ago, I couldn’t even sense the fluctuations—every Noble’s waves felt the same, including my own.

To amplify things even further, I reactivate my ...

After just under four days, my first stage of training within the first floor of the High Orc tower is complete.

I stand before Seraphel, still glowing with an ethereal pristine light in my Noble Human Form. As his deep blue eyes stare down at me with the same jaded gaze, his words seep into my mind.

“You’re a quick learner… I’m still surprised a human without a special physique could bring their true body to the Upper Realm. Even in your Noble Form, your adaptability is i...

“I sense a Celestial Grade Physique… Seraphel… is that you…?”

The voice is low and slow, echoing in the back of Abby’s mind.

It feels distant, as if it is speaking into a void, unable to see or feel anything, but sensing a disturbance, so it reaches out.

The entire black skeleton is flowing with the green soul energy that Abby sends through it, and a pillar of light the width of her restoration circle erupts into the sky, parting the demonic clouds.

While a yellow and white shockwave from the Lich’s phylactery being destroyed ripples through a large portion of the world, even the Demonic Berserker turns its attention to it over ten thousand kilometers away.

Raven takes advantage of this lapse in its attention and dives down straight toward the crimson monster’s back.

Her breathing stays consistent, and her mind stays solely on her Divine Core and Soul Energy.

That is because, in such a high-stakes scenario, her inst...

Arie touches down on top of a massive demonic lizardman’s corpse, and the clouds of dark energy all around him begin swirling like a whirlpool toward him.

The concentrated essence still stagnant in the lizard creature’s body flows up into his, and the two dozen subordinates filled with puncture holes from his arrows leak out refined Qi that swirls in this whirlpool, flowing into his palms.

The purple aura around Arie grows even brighter, tinting closer to white, and his senses...
