"Huh, those are some interesting Ultimate Titles... I remember Valkarrie muttering the Apostle of Unknown towards me, I also didn't expect for the Draconic Disastrous Hero to be an Ultimate Title... But what the heck is that third one?"
「 Ultimate Title: Draconic Disastrous Hero is a special title that you earned by being acknowledged by a True World Goddess and a multiversal aged Divine Dragon. This title will be imprinted in the universe and your presence will being disaster to those who witness it, when you are in that form. This means that a mortal such as yourself is recognized by both overwhelming beings will have a drastic influence over the Divine Realm and the other Realms of Deities, except for the realm of True Gods 」
"Then, what does the title do for me?"
「 Among the existing heroes across the universe, you are one of the only heroes that defeated a Demon Lord that has the ability to conquer a galaxy 」
"Huh? But I'm not the one who defeated that Demon Lord?"
「 Due to Polem not having the Hero title, which she only is a Legendary Warrior, you took the credit 」
"Wow... I feel bad all of a sudden... Makes me want to do something more for Polem's Heroic Spirit"
'Hehe~'
Tenshi giggle in her mind after hearing Philip's kind words
「 Nevertheless, because of that, the title will increase your power several folds when you are doing heroic things 」
"Heroic things... What defines heroic?"
「 When you do something that risks your life for other people unconditionally, no matter who they are. It is also vanquishing evil to protect all lives. Sometimes, being heroic is also doing good or evil, depending on the purpose of your actions 」
"Huh... Then, that title is worthless to me... My purpose is selfish and it will hurt a lot of innocent people when I achieve it"
「 Small and short term heroic deeds can count, even if the process involves your ultimate goal. Remember, heroic deeds can also equate to good deeds and this will increase the power of the Love Shard 」
"Hm, I guess you're right..."
「 Also, there's a reason that the Ultimate Title generated the same Draconic Disastrous Hero. The title Disastrous Hero is bad enough, isn't it? 」
"If you put it that way... All disastrous situations come to me. The concept of disastrous and hero contradicts each other that it almost cancels each other. This means that no matter what I do, either heroic or disastrous, it counts?"
「 Yes. Bringing disaster to something van count and it will passively increase your power 」
"I see!"
"..."
Tenshi has her eyebrows furrowed from that Ultimate Title. It was like it's urging Philip to do disastrous things
"Hm? Don't worry Tenshi, I won't bring any disasters to anything... Unless I have to do so that is"
Philip smirked and Tenshi just looked at him with warm eyes and sweet smile. She knows that the only way for Philip to relieve himself is by destruction, so if he's angry about something, he would bring disaster to everything
She would let Philip do what he wants and needs, then she would stop him if he went too overboard
"How about the Apostle of Unknown? I was curious about it back then, but I never got the chance to ask about it"
「 To be honest, I don't know 」
"Huh? What do you mean?"
「 The title is Apostle of Unknown, with Four Absolute Rules applied, it is unknown 」
"Uh... Is it really unknown or you personally don't know because the system restricted that information?"
「 It is unknown, you can ask the system itself 」
『 ... 』
"System, what is the Apostle of Unknown mean?"
『 Undefined. Unidentifiable. Undetermined. Unknown 』
"Huh?"
「 That's it, we don't know what that Ultimate Title do, but the system managed to at least name it 」
"I see... Then according to its name... I'm the apostle of Unknown. An apostle means an advocate or supporter. I'm an advocate of Unknown???"
「 Could be? But I don't know what that means... 」
"Me too... The question is, what is the unknown? Is it an unknown that can be known later on? Is it an unknown that van never be known? Or is it the Concept of Unknown that can be represented by a concept or an existence?"
「 Yeah... We have no way to know 」
"True... Then let's move on... The Fated Omega One???"
Philip moved on to the next Ultimate Skill. Little did he know, the invisible Imagination Shard is spinning and rotating rapidly in front of his forehead
「 ... 」
"Let me guess... Because I can control fate, I am fated... Since I possess the Omega System, I am the or an Omega One?
「 ... 」
"Am I right? Well, I kinda guessed it based on literallity..."
Philip still has the [Shades of Logicity] on and tried to guess it with logic
「 Uhhh... 」
『 Omega System will take over... 』
「 ... 」
"..."
"..."
『 What could Fated mean? 』
"Uh... Destined to happen? A chosen one? Wait..."
『 What is Omega? 』
"Peak of all powers"
『 Fated Omega One? 』
"A chosen one for the peak of powers....."
『 ... 』
"I was chosen to possess Omega???"
『 By who or what? 』
"That's..."
『 ... 』
"Should I know or learn?"
『 The time will come... 』
"..."
『 ... 』
「 So, that's how it is... 」
"The Fated Omega One..."
「 That Ultimate Title made you what you are now 」
"Sounds like a very important title and I'm missing crucial information"
「 It couldn't be helped... It is what it is 」
"I understand... I will take a mental note of it in case I encounter something about it"
「 Yes, that would be good 」
"Well then, what's that last Ultimate Title?"
「 You can't know that yet... 」
"I figured..."
「 Though, it's about your life and death situation, accompanied by your Resurrection ability 」
"Oh? You're giving me clues now?"
「 Yes, that higher intervention reprimanded the system to allow is to help and support you in every way, unlike before 」
"Oh, okay... That's noted..."
Philip was dumbfounded. He was happy, but he's relieved that the system and Emily won't hide anything from him now
"How about my other titles? Such as Embodiment of Neutrality... None of a Kind... What else..."
「 Those can't be considered as Ultimate Titles... They can be Legendary or Mythical Titles though 」
"Ooooh! Are they worth diving into?"
「 Not necessarily... Unlike Ultimate Titles where it can have influence in the universe itself, Legendary or Mythical Titles can only be imprinted within the minds of the wise ones or within worlds 」
"Oooh okay... Then, that's it then?"
「 Yes indeed 」
"Tenshi, are you ready to go back?"
"Yes!"
Tenshi smiled brightly. She just remembered that she was married to Philip in this beautiful place. It all happened so fast and all Tenshi could feel was happiness
It was the same for Philip as he could feel fluttering around his chest
"But wait, you'll be in your Timeline Angel form when we go back, right?"
"I think so? We came here because of that revelation of the Alternate Golden Timeline and Amatsuka told me to establish Soul Link to you when you were analyzing that Zombie Virus Vials. Because of that, I absorbed the Timeline Catalyst and then Amatsuka unlocked a core part of her memory. From that point onward, it all went downhill or uphill, as I can see from your memories"
"Hm... Emily, is somethint bad going to happen when we return?"
「 None that's noteworthy... When both of you return back, both of your powers will be increased. The Ultimate Titles has been imprinted in the universe. Ordinary people won't notice the change, but capable and powerful beings will be influenced. The Variable Artifacts can be materialized by your will, but the Rings of Bounded Fate will always be seen as a declaration of both of you becoming one and the presence of the Messenger of Fate. This will apply on future Messengers of Fate. The Angelic Shotgun of Totality also can't become invisible because it's now Tenshi's Soul Artifact also. The Shards of the Five will always be invisible to every being unless they decided to reveal themselves 」
"So, people will be able to see the rings that Tenshi and I are wearing and her shotgun?"
「 Yes 」
"I see... I don't think there's any problem with that"
"Me too"
Both Philip and Tenshi smiled while blushing. The [Love Shard] slowly hovered in between them and began to shake and spin because of the love they're emitting
「 ... 」
Emily was silent and didn't dare speak and interrupt their moment
At this point, Philip took off the [Shades of Logicity] and the grown [Regenerative Ivory] started to contract and seep back into his skin as white lines crawled away. He then pushed the shades upwards with his left finger and the shades vanished like pixels in a game
"Well then, we're ready to come back"
「 Okay, prepare yourselves 」
"Prepare? What for? Won't I just close my eyes since we're just in the World of Imagination?"
『 Initializing return procedure... 』
『 Transfer to the World of Absolute Nothingness and World of Imagination was executed in the Field of Multiverse in the distant past from a memory 』
『 Intense concentration and resistance is recommended 』
"..."
Philip widened his eyes after the system showed several displays that alarmed Philip. He felt a pit in his stomach
Tenshi just looked at the displays with confused eyes. She never experienced coming with Philip in other timelines or somewhere else, so she doesn't know the procedure
『 Initialization complete! 』
『 Executing... 』
"Fuck!!!"
Philip screamed and he immediately reached for Tenshi and embraced her tightly, as if to protect her body with all of his power
『 Return! 』
*Pow*
[Bullet Time] suddenly activated and Philip's perception of time drastically slowed down as a low bass and pitch was generated and slowed down. His speed and overall strength and power increased by several folds
It was then that he felt extremely intense vertigo as his body was suddenly pulled and pushed into oblivion. His body shifted through the entire ⟨⟨ World of Imagination ⟩⟩ until the white world became a black world. The ⟨⟨ World of Absolute Nothingness ⟩⟩ then squeezed and stretched against Philip that he could almost feel claustrophobic and his skin began to get rough
Philip held the back of Tenshi's head with his right hand and tightly wrapped his left arm around her back on her waist. Since Tenshi isn't influenced by [Bullet Time], she can't react instantly and could only feel the sudden drsstic change around her
She didn't dare open her eyes and just burrowed her face into Philip's chest and clutched his shoulders tightly
Even though Philip is holding Tenshi very tightly, she wasn't getting hurt at all and she feels soft as her surroundings were very chaotic and violent
Meanwhile, Philip gritted his teeth and he slowly opened his eyes. His pupild were golden and it shines through the black world
He's entering light speed and terminal velocity as the ⟨⟨ World of Absolute Nothingness ⟩⟩ squished against him
He tried to lift his left hand while still holding Tenshi with his left arm. He opened his hand and clenched it as a ball of golden light formed on his palm
The [Disaster Crest] started to light up on his forehead and release violet light. The [Blood Horn] then grew directly above the [Disaster Crest] on his scalp and went through his hair. The [Blood Horn] cracked and glowing blood flowed through the cracks. Violet light also flowed through the cracks that was coming from the [Disaster Crest]
The [Regenerative Ivory] also reacted and white lines and roots began to crawl throughout his body. White plates and spikes formed across all his joints; jaw, shoulders, elbows, wrists, fingers, waist, knees, ankles, and spine. White energy also began to get released around him and wrap him and Tenshi with a film of white light and matter
Just then, Philip felt that he was being pulled to his right side and he instantly rotated himself to the left so that his back is facing the trajectory to where he is going. This is also to protect Tenshi with his body
A moment later, he felt a net touch his back and he penetrated through an unknown black layer. He flew towards space and he found himself in the Field of Multiverse. He slowed down drastically but [Bullet Time] is still activated
He looked around and he could see all the spheres of universes across the Field of Multiverse
All of a sudden, he was pulled on his left and he nose dive towards the darknrss. His neck almost broke from the sudden change in velocity but the white plates helped his neck become sturdy
"Fakk..."
A solid concept then smashed into him, even though there's nothing. Then an unknown layer passed through him and a net went through him. Several levels of dimensions kept bombarding him left and right until a wave kept rushing him in every directions
He doesn't know if Tenshi was getting hurt and he started to become angry
『 4th Gate of Wrath: Anger opened 』
『 Nine Gates of Wrath is still not consolidated, improved, reformed, and enhanced 』
『 Minimum effects are being applied 』
Philip just closed his eyes and waited for his return to be over. He figured that he's travelling through time with all the dimensions smashing through him
Tenshi then disappeared in his arms and he tucked himself into his body to protect himself now. He figured that Tenshi has returned first after confirming it with [Soul Link]
