Chương 36: B1 | Intermission 3

All Around the Aqua Galaxy"Damnit," a man mutters as he stares at the Galaxy-Wide Achievement message in front of him. And despite the sweat covering him from head to toe, his arm currently lying several feet away and slowly crawling back to him to reattach itself, and a large hole where his eye socket was gradually regrowing, he doesn't show any signs of pain. Just mild irritation at the message. ◊ The Thunder Dragon, Revald ◊ - [Do not pay any mind to losing to an impossible opponent.] The man, a young storm dragon in humanoid form known as Drake Stormblight, narrows his remaining eye at the message before a call screen appears in his vision without his permission. Completely disregarding the battle Drake is currently in facing the boss of the hard difficulty Tutorial of his separate cluster. One without the Void Crowne.

"Why is there a second Void Crowne? You said there was only one of each Unique," Drake asks while glancing at the large wingless dinosaur that is the boss and is currently covered in half as many wounds as Drake himself as it stares at him.

"The System has its ways to circumvent universal truths," Revald, the Ruler of the Storm Dragon Clan, declares.

"All that matters is you avoid declaring war on his cluster at all costs. For no one but a Unique can slay a Unique." Drake doesn't have to ask if that belief is from past experience or not. He's already heard about the powerful Dragon Ruler's embarrassing defeat by the Void Crowne and her voidling swarm as a way to humble Drake into not doing the same thing due to dragon pride.

"Understood," Drake answers before the call cuts off without another word. Leaving him once again facing the wingless dragon in silence. A silence immediately broken by the boss' roar.

"You must kill the Void Crowne as soon as possible," a hissing voice echoes through the call the moment it forcibly connects, irritating Xch'tlia'rial more than she can say. Because she wouldn't enjoy the consequences of saying it.

"Do not let their swarm double. The zelbar hive will not allow it." Xch'tlia'rial, the queen of the zelbar on the former Rellan planet, feels immense misgivings towards the ancient zelbar Prime ordering her around. A mere manager for the main hive queen meant to manage the cattle that are the two-legged skin-sacs. Yet he dares to order around a queen? And she feels humiliation at the fact that she can't go against him. But, for the first time, she actually agrees with him.

She cannot allow another swarm to form and contest them in the Aqua Galaxy.

"Find what cluster they are on, and declare war," the Prime orders before cutting the call. Xch'tlia'rial lets out a loud screech as the zelbar queen turns her attention to the large double doors deep down in the cave system that marks the boss room for her hard difficulty Tutorial's final floor. First the Void Crowne, then the ancient Prime will feed the hive after. The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.

With that thought, she walks towards the doors before opening them and stepping into the boss room. All Around the Universe One group after another react in various different ways to the news of a new Void Crowne being born. Both in the newly initiated galaxy and outside of it thanks to mentors learning about the message from their mentees. Amongst the users in the new galaxy, many simply continue trying to clear their Tutorials.

Just with a shadow in their hearts over the distance growing between them and the new Void Crowne. But amongst the groups outside of the galaxy, everyone begins to contact their mentees within the galaxy to gather as much information as possible. And to inform their mentees about the traits of the Void Crowne that they know of. Some to prepare them for a potential clash against the new Void Crowne, others to warn them to avoid conflict with him as much as possible.

The latter of which drastically outnumber the former. Especially when the Void Throne itself declares the new Void Crowne to be of equal standing to the original Void Crowne, Seraphyne Voidstar, amongst the void creatures' hierarchy. Because the Void Crowne and her nation, the Void Throne, are the most absolutely neutral force in the universe. Yet also one of the most powerful forces. And the Unique Lifeforms are undisputable rulers within the universe and System.

Born to be at the top, and the only ones capable of keeping each other in check. Meanwhile Aidan's own sister just smiles at the confirmation of her brother being safe. But one place alone is particularly loud as Seraphyne Voidstar, the Ruler of the Void Throne and only other Void Crowne, finds the intruders in her throne room more than a little irritating. And she barely manages to hold herself back from kicking all four of the Unique Lifeforms in her throne room within the void out of the void at once.

Even then, the only reason she manages to hold back is because she knows that they will bother her kin if they can't get the answer for her. The child is too busy to deal with nuisances like these. He will be learning about the multiversal wars soon.

"How is this possible?! Did you find a way to have a child somehow?! Why didn't you say anything?! I've wanted to have hundreds of little kids for millions of years now!" Valthraxus Blood Imperium, the Demon King of the Nine Hells, asks while bouncing on the soles of his feet in front of Seraphyne like a child. Despite looking like a large, buff man in full crimson plate armor who is now showing a completely different attitude from what he shows the public.

Which is a completely cold, detached, and ruthless attitude. The way he treats all those who aren't unique lifeforms. Seraphyne especially wants to kick him out of her throne room even more than the others as he grabs her shoulder and starts to shake her like a child throwing a tantrum.

"Valthraxus Blood Imperium, stop behaving like a child and let go of the Void Crowne," Arciel, the Heavenly God of the Great Heavens, declares, his voice echoing through Seraphyne's throne room.

"This is not the time for your games." The Demon King turns around without letting go of Seraphyne's shoulder, making her eye twitch in irritation as he says with more than a little snark towards the Heavenly God, "What about you, Arcy? Shouldn't you stop calling Seraphyne Void Crowne now that there's more than one Void Crowne?" Arciel opens his mouth as rage burns on his face, but Alaric, the Ruler of the Dead, shouts, "Enough! Take your bickering elsewhere! I'm here for answers, not to hear you fight!"

The Heavenly God closes his mouth without another word before everyone in the room, including the World Tree's avatar, turn to focus on Seraphyne. Meanwhile the World Tree's avatar begins to speak, with the World Tree's voice coming from her mouth, "Please, Seraphyne. Tell us what you know." Seraphyne stares for a moment, then she begins to explain the events that led to the birth of the newest Void Crowne. Which she got directly from her kin during her teaching session.

And the moment she finishes her explanation, the other unique lifeforms begin to discuss potential ways to make a being evolve into one of their own. Because all five of the unique lifeforms have lived lonely lives for trillions of years without anyone to call kin. So, even if the other four all feel jealous of Seraphyne for finally having kin of her own, none of them feel any negative thoughts towards her.

If anything, they feel gratitude towards her and her new kin for discovering the possible path to obtaining their own kin. Of course, Seraphyne just kicks them all out of the void now that they've got their answers. Finally leaving her in her beloved peace and quiet once again.
