Damian stared at the list of newly acquired abilities for a long ti without saying a word. His expression remained unreadable, yet his thoughts were anything but calm. After climbing three hundred levels, he had only gained six abilities.
Under normal circumstances he would have complained, cursed the system, and probably accused Rin of robbery. Yet this ti he couldn’t. Every single ability was useful. Worse, they were useful in ways that directly affected the future he had been trying to avoid thinking about.
That realization irritated him.
"You can always get new abilities from upgrading your talent tree. Don’t be bothered by little things like that." Rin casually slapped the side of his head.
Damian rolled his eyes but did not argue.
His gaze lingered on [mory Reaper].
Then on [Mother Stream].
Then finally on [Door].
A bitter smile slowly appeared on his face. The ssage hidden behind those abilities was obvious. He finally possessed the ans to leave Earth.
The universe had finally opened itself to him.
And worse still, he now possessed the ans to erase himself from Clara’s mories if he truly decided that was best for her.
The thought left an unpleasant feeling in his chest.
For the first ti in a long while, the endless possibilities before him felt heavier than exciting. Truly, the Chapter of his life on Earth was nearing its conclusion.
"You seem worried."
Rin’s voice shattered his thoughts.
"Shut up."
Damian leaned further into the couch and closed his eyes. Darkness swallowed him imdiately.
The walls of his room vanished. Monts later he found himself seated cross-legged upon an endless black ocean that reflected neither stars nor sky. The surface remained perfectly still beneath him despite having no visible source of support.
Silence stretched endlessly.
Three pairs of colossal eyes stared at him from beyond the distant gates. Dark purple flas burned within them.
The gates surrounding Asmodeus remained chained shut, but their presence alone caused the entire realm to tremble subtly.
"I’ll be damned..." Asmodeus snarled. "To think that bastard’s efforts really paid off."
The surrounding world shook violently. The water beneath Damian rippled outward endlessly.
Yet Damian remained seated. His gaze t those eyes without fear, hesitation or respect. The sa indifference he displayed toward Rah and her assassins now faced one of the greatest monsters in existence.
"It did."
Damian’s voice was quiet.
"All that’s left is to kill you."
The dark realm erupted with laughter. Massive waves ford across the endless sea.
The gates rattled violently.
"Foolish human. Do you think you are the first?"
This ti Damian laughed. Unlike Asmodeus, there was no madness behind it. The confidence of a man who genuinely believed what he was saying.
"I’ll be the last."
The words left his mouth like a declaration and the laughter beyond the gates abruptly ceased.
For a brief mont neither side spoke. Then Damian casually waved his hand.
The world shifted imdiately as the chained gates began retreating rapidly into the distance until the enormous structure beca little more than a dot upon the horizon.
Asmodeus’s voice beca nothing more than a distant whisper carried across an endless sea.
Damian ignored it completely. His attention shifted toward the floating talent tree hovering nearby.
A sigh escaped him.
[Lust Talent Tree Rejuvenation Process: 31%]
[Living Arts: 30%]
[Primal Soul: 30%]
[Elder Arts: 30%]
"So how’s it gonna be?"
A puff of violet wind appeared above his head. Rin materialized and imdiately dropped onto his hair.
The fox curled its tails around itself while peering down at the percentages and Damian remained silent for several monts.
"We need to reach seventy percent to reach the Demigod Realm, right?"
Rin nodded.
"And ninety should be my limit."
"Technically ninety-one." Rin corrected.
Rin’s expression beca serious.
"Ninety-one percent is where the final seals break."
The fox pointed toward the distant gates.
"And then you deal with Asmodeus."
Damian slowly nodded. He already knew this, yet hearing it spoken aloud felt strange. Only recently he had been a suicidal attorney staring at a revolver. Now he stood at the threshold of Demigodhood.
The speed of his growth was absurd. The speed of his life changing was even worse.
For a while neither spoke.
Then Damian asked the question that had been bothering him for months.
"And how do I reach the God Realm?"
Rin answered imdiately.
"Level 999."
The response ca so quickly it almost sounded rehearsed.
"The sa peak your siblings stand upon."
Damian nodded slowly.
Level 999.
Such a simple number.
Yet it represented the distance between his current self and beings capable of shaking universes.
For the first ti in a long while, he felt small. Just aware of how much farther he still had to climb.
The realization did not discourage him. If anything, it excited him. There were still questions left unanswered. This was the perfect ti to have it all answered.
This was the best ti to learn everything he needs to know about this world and how it works.
