Won't it be interesting? Those words were like a light source, shining on the dark path, they made the four gods change their expressions, they; who in their stuporous moment; could finally remember why they were drawn to this young man.
No one in their right mind would stir such an extremely explosive pot, the delicate balance between the powers and loyalties was the best possible outcome for the universe, but not for Yunan, for him, the only chance to escape the dangerous situation was to poke the hornet's nest, then let the chaos unravel itself while he got stronger as the world forgot about him.
Apophis was the first to get the idea and start smiling, then chuckled and finally laughed hard as he understood the layers of the plan, this was not just breaking the board. He was also setting up a new one, as well as fill the board with anything but his own pieces, it was like taking himself out of play entirely.
Soon everyone got the idea and their eyes brightened up, this kind of critical thinking was really refreshing, it would be unthinkable for any of the other involved parties to do the same, this balance is exactly what they need, to them, it is impossible for anyone to even think about breaking it, they would fight and die to achieve the balance.
To Yunan this balance was a threatening existence, it was not an opportunity to grow, it was a trap where no matter how much stronger he got, he would be balanced out by the other parties holding the fragile scale, in order to make any kind of move, tipping the scale would bring the world toppling on his head, but if he broke it before he became part of it, he could grow and move freely, while the other parties, namely the avatars, the council and the creator would have to restrain themselves, while he freely acted in any way he desired knowing full well that unless he drew the ire of all three forces, even if two moved their forces to strike him down, the third force would move against the last two.
"There is only one thing that I have to put forward" Yunan said to the four as they contemplated the plan "no matter what happens to me, I trust you will care for my family, in return, I will make this universe into the best entertainment for your primordials".
"We're not included in your plans?" asked Death, he was baffled, these four were clearly siding with him, him choosing to sideline them wasn't something any sane man would do.
"That is the point, there is no plan, just disruption, including you into this may make your primordials act against me, so the best thing you can do without any consequences, is to sit and watch, keeping my family safe wouldn't be going against any primordial, besides, if i do not have to look back, i can make the world shiver at the mention of my name".
"My primordial agreed to the proposal, your family is under his protection as long as you can stir the pot" Apophis didn't sound like he was saying much, but to Yunan, it was like removing mountain from his shoulders, the other three nodded as well, it seems being outside of the scope of Fate itself made him an enigma even for the primordials.
Since things have changed, Yunan gathered his wives and told them the gist of it, he would return to the one night rest per week schedule, he told his teachers to get to the 89th floor as fast as possible, because he was going to get their post haste. He left the matter of contacting the creator god to Fortuna and Death, since those two would have a better relationship with him, and they could make sure he understood the heart of the message.
Yunan returned to the 70th floor and with Drogon swept through the place like a hurricane, killing everything in sight and taking away all elemental cores. Adventurers were not supposed to find or extract the cores, at least no one had tried it before, Black Fate told Yunan that the cores would regenerate eventually, so there was little harm in taking them. It took less than a year for Yunan and Drogon to assemble all the cores in the floor, and find themselves standing before a gigantic mountain with its summit beyond the clouds.
The boss of this floor was the sole inhabitant of the mountain, it was different and the core was also different, it had all the elemental affinities radiating from it, all 12 of them. Earth, air, water, fire, lightning, metal, light, dark, poison, psychic life and finally decay. This was the first boss that required a party to be able to counter all affinities, if the party wasn't completely able to deal with all of its attacks, it wouldn't have a chance to surpass it and go up.
Seeing this was the case, Yunan took out the elemental cores he had collected and consumed them, Drogon declined because his body would not be able to support so many affinities, especially when he was innately biased towards fire, Yunan had no such bias, even if he did, his consuming ability made it sure that his body would not reject the powers.
After consuming and getting used to all those affinities, Yunan challenged the boss, it was a simple game of rock, paper, scissors, knowing which affinities to counter which and which to use as follow up. By relying on his buffs he could contend with the Wyrm boss, barely, that is why he took almost three weeks of battle to kill it, then immediately stepping up to the 71st floor.
