With five deities by her side, Cyra wasn't interested in the Shrines any longer; instead, she commanded them to connect the Death Shrine with the Abyss and Heavenly Abyss while also building the sect the Abyss.
The Abyss was the safest place among the 3. Simultaneously, the Death Shrine could supply them with endless amounts of disciplines and Shadow Essence. For those who joined while still alive, the Heavenly Abyss supported them with the best possible resources.
While everything got in place and the recruitments have begun, Cyra left to visit her cell once more as the 100th anniversary was drawing near.
After waiting for half a year and nothing has happened, Cyra returned to the Abyss. She was looking at them with wide eyes as every single person was so beautiful that she couldn't even describe it.
But looking closer with her senses, they were clearly undead, but then how is this possible, then she remembered that one of the Death hands had a strange hobby.
It seemed that that hobby of his was a rather cruel one as living humans were skinned alive for their skin that would be given to the sect's undead followers.
Walking inside the main sect building, she was immediately welcomed by Death Mages, who were there to serve her needs.
Cyra was unfazed by all this, showed how little did she care about them. Even if she preferred insta killing her opponents, she had no reason to finish of those people.
Each of the Death hands built seven separate palaces that their owners ruled that included Cyra and Azrail. The recruitment to the sect was going well as everyone wished to live in few years. The Ember sect had millions of disciplines.
Cyra was eventually forced to accept Ankuj into the sect. The undead had ways to revive with him if they wished to continue cultivation the traditional way to advance higher in the sect ranks.
As per usual, Cyra didn't bother much to rule the sect as she didn't care at all. She spent almost all of her time with cultivation and fighting with the five hands of death.
This way, her strength grew rapidly within 40 years, she had another breakthrough and became Emperor Hun.
Cyra released her Force control and looked at the palace one by one.
Achlys palace was the first one she checked. Upon looking inside, she saw countless images of her self the weird one claimed in the Ember robes; it has almost given her scary vibes as such, she stopped looking at it.
Nero palace was more of an actual library as he preferred reading in his free time. There was very little enjoyment in his life.
Talking about enjoyment, Ares spent every night with different women. At this point, he even picked up some of the undead girls to warm his bed, well as much as an undead could achieve that.
Balor was skinning Humans and took orders from undead who wished to own more than one kind of look.
Hel was the most devoted among the five as she spent her time fighting and training the Ember sect members.
Other than the palaces, the sect separated the members, and only the strongest were allowed to stay a long time in the Abyss.
Everyone else was training in the Shrine of Death or the Heavenly Abyss, while others were tasked with expanding the sect territories.
When she finally had free time, she decided to walk around the sect and visit her discipline Azrail. Upon entering his palace, she could only see darkness as other than cultivation, Azrail had no use of this place. When he wasn't cultivating, he was roaming the outside world to complete missions and strengthen himself.
"I see you have finally become a Kir, pretty good I'm proud of you!"
"Thank you, master!"
After leaving his palace, Achlys came before Cyra with a begging expression on her face."Master, can we do it now? You promised to show us how you look!"
While all of the members have seen Cyra in her bandages, state none of them knew the full extent of her strength as such, not even just them. The whole sect was eager to see Cyra battle Achlys with her full might because up until now, not to mention full might, whenever they fought, Cyra restricted herself to that of a Hun to damage her body even more.
They wanted to see what Cyra was. It was a burning sensation inside their bodies to see what kind of monster could become the incarnation of death itself without having to suffer at all.
For this occasion alone, Balor constructed a giant colosseum from where everyone could watch the battle.
"Master, I will reduce my strength to the level of Saka so we could enjoy this fight together!" Beamed Achlys as she looked at Cyra.
"Look, High priestess has dropped her strength!" Shouted one of the undead girls.
"It's only natural she is only interested in seeing the sect master looks not killing her."
"Um, sooo nervous what if she is a human?"
"Idiot, she is already a Hun. How could she stay a Hun? In the worst case scenario, she is only a god!"
To that, she didn't say anything, waited as things weren't as simple as they used to be. Since her last full release, her killing intent leveled twice as such. She also possessed the killing intent of those who killed trillions.
Since they were so curious, Cyra her clothes have opened up, revealing her upper body. Her face and hair were witnessed by everyone present.
Yet with the release of her killing intent, she immediately appeared before Achlys and kicked her in the air. Just by releasing her killing intent, she was able to overwhelm her.
"Wow, sect master is mighty, not just beautiful but strong!"
"But, it's weird as if she wasn't using any technique; it seems like random attacks."
"Agreed, I wonder why."
Achlys didn't leave her self at all. She quickly raised her strength to that of a Nogais to stand up against Cyra attacks.
The disciplines were right Cyra never used techniques, which made fighting her a headache even for her.
While Cyra learned how to counter her, she still couldn't see through her master at all.
Cyra wasn't resting either and quickly followed after her, raising her strength to that of a Nogais. With it, her blood began to boil, and a blue mist has surrounded her.
At the sight of the mist, the Death hands had a rather ominous feeling. They have fought against those things before.
This blood color marked the Awakening of a Frost Demon, but this much puzzled them as by the other of the last incarnation of death they exterminated that race, so how?
While Achlys was distracted, Cyra has further raised her strength, she activated all of her abilities, her clothes have spread through their surroundings, her wings have risen, and all of her arms were visible.
With her pure body strength, Cyra became a First Beat Crawling Deity. Knowing full well that her weapons wouldn't survive their fight, Cyra took out the 4 Axes and attacked with the might of a First Beat Levitating Deity. This outcome has shocked everyone to their core. Not even in their wildest dreams would they have expected Cyra to be able to raise her battle strength by 19 whole realm thanks to her weapons, but even then, 15 realm is overkill at best.
Cyra was an existence standing on the apex of the food chain. As long as she reached the Deity realm, she would be unbeatable as long as she stayed unnoticed for a long time.
Achlys was eventually forced to use her full strength if she didn't want to die here, as she was incapable of sensing Cyra waves until the very last moment.
No matter what she did, out of the 3-4 waves that Cyra sent out, one kept passing through her defense.
Eventually, she managed to destroy Cyra's weapons, but this bought her another issue. She began channeling the vibration force that could easily rip her to shreds if she wasn't careful.
In a sense, Cyra's real strength was somewhere around Nogais, but she looks much weaker than her actual strength because of her restrictions.
But in the end, everything comes down to the fact that she prefers seeing and knowing about things over being healthier, as with lower strength, the further she could see.
As for keeping her secret, she wasn't worried one bit as everyone in the sect was bound to her, even Ankuj.
It was evident that that with so many people, the worst of worst would eventually rise to power inside the sect, those who could use the opportunities given to them, those who wished to rise above the masses, and those who had enough of serving others.
The Ember sect was a separate existence with an even more specific and unique rank that wasn't directly under the justification of anyone from the sect.
Eventually, Cyra was named the founder since she could bring out a deity level power house's strength.
The Death hand was directly under her. They were even above Azrail for some extent as they couldn't hurt him but could decide to go against his requests
Finally, Azrail the Death Lord didn't interact much with the sect other than training and doing missions.
Below him, Death Master ruled over the newly captured territories. After receiving Cyra blood, most of them received Crystal related abilities from the high concentration of Tylium in the founder blood.
Among the Death Masters, the Crystal Queen of the second level was the strongest. The place without air became an undead paradise as her castles and buildings floated around in the second level.
The Crystal Queen was initially known as Ana, one of the nine venerable of the Heavenly Sect. Still, after years of hard work, she no longer could progress further in power. As such, Ana left her sect, searching for a way to stand above others without the need to being ordered around. When Ana found the Death Shrine with millions upon millions of skeletons, she died at the doorstep. She was repurchased to life as an undead.
Soon afterward, she met Ankuj, who repurchased her to life and managed to further rise in ranks to become an overlord of a level.
She was always wearing Purple dresses, and Crystals were growing on her delicate body. Inside the sect, robes weren't necessary. They were able to be whatever they wanted.
Cyra blood was something that could rival deities' blood as a being of utmost purity and opportunities. Those who received it also experienced some fundamental changes inside their bodies.
This ability was mostly related to Cyrus part as they gained significant control over Crystallization.
This was how each region developed different cultures and dress codes. Cyra spent three years observing the creation of the 2nd level.
There were another 2 Death masters who took over the Death shrine and the Heavenly Abyss to overlook new sect members' recruitment.
Cyra also spent an awful lot of time meditating and thinking. Even if the 1000 years were over, it was still not the time clamming her military ranks, as she wanted to upgrade her avatar to the principal of its Existence.
The invaders weren't much of a problem because they retreated here, not to mention she had no idea how time worked in this place.
The other main issue is that if she leads her sect against the invaders' forces, the anchor's church will attack her. No doubt, as such, she decided to stay put until she was strong enough.
As for the things she planned to do at the collider sect, she would take credit for it as the weird one.
