Boom!

A corpse fell from the sky and smashed heavily into the ruins below.

As far as the eye could see, both the streets and the towering skyscrapers had already been reduced to rubble.

Corpses and shattered remains of Sorcerers covered the battlefield.

At this point, there were probably fewer than five people left breathing.

Grade One Sorcerers.

Special Grade Sorcerers.

To Caelum, there was no difference.

They all died in one hit anyway.

None of them were worth noticing.

And yet.

Less than five seconds had passed since the battle began.

After a single unrestricted Cursed Energy shockwave from Caelum, almost nobody remained standing.

Knox and Uliya had barely finished their limited time comeback before immediately getting sent back to the respawn screen again.

Truly a glorious return.

Their role had basically been participation points.

Only a few individuals with unusually powerful techniques managed to survive.

Crash.

One of the most famous Special Grade Sorcerers in the history of the Sorcerer World crawled out from beneath the ruins.

He looked utterly disheveled.

Staring at Caelum’s back, disbelief filled his eyes.

"How can someone this powerful even exist?!"

One man standing against every powerful Sorcerer across a thousand years of history was already absurd enough.

But nearly wiping them all out in a single attack?

That level of power was terrifying beyond comprehension.

If he had not witnessed it himself, he never would have believed such a monster could exist.

From beginning to end.

Caelum had not even moved his feet.

Faced with this overwhelming and hopeless disparity in power, Risei still refused to give up.

Her hands formed signs again as she attempted to activate another technique.

Caelum opened his palm.

An irresistible force erupted instantly, dragging Risei directly in front of him before he seized her pale throat in one hand.

"I don’t have any interest in playing games with you. Let’s end this."

As he spoke.

Origin Reversion Technique activated.

Wheel of Reversal was stripped away from Risei completely.

A sound like shattering glass echoed out.

Then Wheel of Reversal collapsed instantly, breaking apart into streams of dispersing Cursed Energy.

From that moment onward, Wheel of Reversal ceased to exist.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The three flesh masses hanging from the pale tree exploded into bloody mist one after another.

Wraith Remnant.

Deep Abyss.

Fool’s Desolation.

The three strongest half Cursed Spirits all perished.

The source powering Wheel of Reversal had been erased by Caelum.

Meaning the technique could never again be reconstructed.

Risei’s thousand years of effort vanished completely.

She stared blankly at the scene before her.

Her eyes lost all focus.

As Wheel of Reversal disappeared, Caelum’s Interference Value began calculating once more.

[Interference Value Gained: 1,500,000]

[Total Interference Value: 3,000,000]

Three million in total.

The dust settled. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Everything was decided.

Risei finally abandoned all resistance.

Her violet hair gradually returned to black.

The tear mole beneath her eye disappeared.

That ancient and overwhelming aura faded away.

The battle forged from a thousand years of preparation had ultimately been dismissed by Caelum as nothing more than a childish game.

At this point, Risei understood there was no point struggling any longer.

She could only accept the ending calmly.

Without the support of the three half Cursed Spirits, the soul she had maintained for a thousand years finally began fading away.

Seratra’s consciousness returned.

Immediately, she felt herself suffocating.

"Master?"

Caelum released his grip.

Then.

A white vortex appeared and swallowed Caelum whole.

Flash!

A burst of white light.

Caelum returned to the real world.

A tremendous force surged from within him.

Inside the Sorcerer World, he had obtained three million Interference Value.

Which meant his power would now increase three millionfold.

He did not remain on Earth.

Instead, Caelum immediately stepped into the Endless Sea of Universes.

Dark and boundless cosmic energy swirled around his body as his power and aura rose continuously.

At an absolutely horrifying rate.

100 times.

1,000 times.

10,000 times.

100,000 times.

1,000,000 times.

3,000,000 times.

Only after reaching three millionfold enhancement did his power finally stop climbing.

At that moment.

Caelum’s very existence underwent layer after layer of transformation.

His life form ascended into a realm ordinary beings could never comprehend.

The phantom image of the Star of the Infinite emerged behind him.

Instantly, Caelum’s existence rose endlessly higher, like a god overlooking mortal existence.

The Endless Sea of Universes itself had become something he could grasp within his palm.

From this point onward.

Caelum stood above the Endless Sea of Universes itself.

With a single thought.

He could erase it entirely.

Likewise.

Recreating it would be effortless.

In an instant, Caelum’s awareness reached the edge of the cosmic sea.

Beyond it stretched only endless emptiness.

No universes.

No matter.

Nothing existed there at all.

Within his perception, the cosmic sea continued expanding endlessly.

The void itself was continuously being absorbed into the Sea of Universes.

And with every expansion, new universes were born.

Infinite cosmic energy drifted around Caelum.

Countless universes floated beside him.

Within his eyes seemed to exist the ultimate truths of all things.

He now stood above everything.

Then suddenly.

Caelum sensed something.

He reached out and drew a universe toward himself.

This universe was far larger than ordinary ones.

It was the new universe born from the fusion of several universes during his previous intervention.

Thanks to his forced ascension and fusion, the energy within this universe had become extraordinarily dense.

Its flow of time also differed greatly from Earth’s universe.

Caelum had only just finished one game.

Yet within the fused universe, ages had already passed.

Stars had shifted.

Civilizations had risen and fallen.

Even the swordsman and the old mage from before had long since died.

No matter how powerful they once were, they still could not escape death.

With a single thought, Caelum immediately understood the full story.

And his interest was piqued.

"Interesting."

Neither the swordsman nor the old mage had died in battles against external cosmic powers.

Instead, they had died in the internal wars of the fused universe itself.

Killed by a rising genius.

That man’s name was Azur.

Azur originated from the Sword Realm Universe.

Gifted from birth, he entered a prestigious sword sect while still young and displayed extraordinary talent from the very beginning.

His rise was unbelievably fast.

After only ten thousand years, he had already become one of the Sword Realm Universe’s top experts.

Like his name suggested, Azur possessed an unyielding pride.

His sword was drawn only against stronger opponents.

Unfortunately.

The swordsman had already ascended to the position of strongest in the Sword Realm Universe millions of years before Azur was even born.

He occupied the destiny of the universe itself.

No matter how hard Azur cultivated, he could only remain beneath the swordsman.

The turning point came when the universes merged.

Caelum’s casual fusion of several universes had elevated the entire fused cosmos to a higher level of existence.

With higher realms now available, countless supreme experts fought desperately for supremacy.

Azur seized that opportunity.

Freed from the suppression of his original universe, his cultivation exploded forward.

One top expert after another fell beneath his blade as he climbed toward the summit.

In the final battle.

He slew both the swordsman and the old mage in succession.

Then he stepped into the highest realm of the fused universe and became its strongest existence.

And afterward.

Azur spoke the words that finally caught Caelum’s attention.

"I, Azur, will one day cut down the Supreme Sovereign himself and ascend as the strongest being in the Endless Sea of Universes!"
