Vile Rabbit-Chapter 44 - . absolute loyalty

3 months pass.

A humanoid figure sat cross-legged above the clouds. Apexion, his body pulsed with the aura of a higher level of true meaning. He casually swiped with his right hand.

Swish!

A huge claw light 10km long appeared in the sky; it parted the clouds and then smashed into the ground tens of kilometers away from him. Boom! The impact created a huge valley.

"Triple, so this is the power of tier 2 true meaning," he muttered. During the past week, he had done a lot of things, and one was bringing his true meanings to a higher rank.

Having broken pass the supreme rank, he instinctively understood that there were 4 tiers to true meanings, and each tier enhanced the true one time.

After tier four, true meaning would evolve into runes.

Only after realizing the order of true meaning did he understand how insane it was for him to understand and manifest a rune, even if it was a false one, before breaking past the supreme rank.

He can only equate it to his eyes because they were the main reason he was able to accomplish such a feat.

Other than comprehending a higher tier of true meaning, he created three techniques: one to strengthen his will, one to speed up his ascension particle absorption, and one that allowed other creatures to walk on his path...

He gazed down at the grey palace below him, then vanished. A second later, he reappeared in front of two thrones; seated on the thrones were the two Crystalian emperors.

Seeing him appear, they immediately stood up and bowed.

"Lord."

Apexion calmly looked at them and said, "I will show you the path beyond the supreme rank."

"!?"

Hearing him, the two emperors' eyes lit up, and their bodies started shaking with desire and excitement.

And Before they could say anything, Apexion waved his right hand, and two black lights shot out and penetrated the two emperors' head.

After the light penetrated their heads, the two emperors closed their eyes.

They sensed a large amount of information appearing in their minds: 'evolution core creation,' awaken bloodline rune, shatter heart, destroy nexus sphere.

As they digested the information, their excitement turned into doubt and dread. 'Isn't this a suicide method?' they thought.

".."

They wanted to express their doubt to Apexion, but when they saw his ice-cold eyes, they swallowed their words.

"Since you have already understood the method of creating an evolution core, there is no need to delay. Start creating it now," commanded Apexion in a calm tone.

The two emperors' eyes flashed with hesitation, then they grit their teeth, sat down cross-legged, and started operating the technique.

Apexion's starry eyes shone with calculations as he stared at the two. 'Let's see if my first test subjects can succeed.'

A few seconds passed, the ascension particles started to swarm the two emperors. A few minutes later, an explosion rang out from their bodies.

Boom!

And they awakened their first blood rune. The awakened blood rune penetrated their hearts, and...

Blood! Boom! Crack!

"AHH!"

Their nexus sphere and heart exploded, and the explosion caused their bodies to crack. The pain was unlike anything they had ever felt; it was too much. too much. Their minds started to falter. 'I am going to die,' they both thought simultaneously.

But right at that moment, a deep voice echoed within the depths of their minds:

"Endure! Keep operating the technique. No matter what, do not stop. Endure. You are almost there. Do not fail me!"

It echoed over and over again.

'Yes, I must endure, endure for my companion, endure for my empire, endure for my species, ahhhhhh!" they shouted in their minds as they gave their all operating the technique. Soon...

Boom!

Their blood rune became three-dimensional, then a silver crystal formed around it. Then they felt the surroundings shift, and they reappeared somewhere that they could describe as

"Lost!"

they couldn't feel anything nor could they see anything but complete darkness, and their will started fading. 'So this is death,' they thought, but right at that moment, a voice echoed in their minds once again:

"COME! THIS IS THE PATH!"

Immediately after, the darkness was lit up by what seemed to be four humongous glowing paw prints.

The paw prints were so huge that they felt like insects before them, and they also felt an intense calling towards the paws.

'Salvation!'

they thought as they subconsciously reached out their hands towards them as if grasping for their last hope.

Not a second after they reached out their hands, they felt the surroundings shift, and the next thing they knew, they were standing on one of the paw prints. At that moment, they heard the voice echo out once more, this time deeper:

"I HEREBY ENACT MY FIRST OCTROI - ABSOLUTE LOYALTY!"

CLANK! CLANK!

Immediately after, the two felt something akin to chains wrap around them tightly, and a message appeared in their minds:

You are not allowed to carry out any acts of betrayal, whether directly or indirectly, towards the path maker. Penalty: strip of essence, and spirit.

Then their vision shifted again, and they reappeared back in the throne room.

Two glowing purple crystal cocoons enclosed them. They sighed in relief, then fell into slumber.

(Note: this is not the dimension where Apexion created his path, but a mirage, a fake... they are not qualified to enter that dimension and "OCTROI" means toll)

...

Apexion's eyes shone brightly as he stared at the two cocoons.

"Flaw in technique."

There was something he over looked at when he was creating the technique, and that was how creatures were going to locate his path when they entered the ascending realm/false ascending realm.

He closed his eyes for a second, then reopened them. 'I see.' In that second, he did countless calculations and fixed the flaw.

Now creatures that used his technique would automatically arrive directly on his path when they entered the false ascending realm.

Apexion then enveloped the two cocoons with his will, vanished, and reappeared above the clouds in the sky.

He sat cross-legged and closed his eyes as the cocoons floated beside him.

His apex rune started to rotate at maximum speed, and the Ego inside his subconscious shattered and formed into a sphere of mental energy, then reformed back in his rabbit form the next second, then shattered again, then reformed. It kept doing that over and over again....
