Draconius watches as the human's head falls with a smile on his face, the corpse begins to glow and disintegrate like shattering glass.
Maintaining a serious gaze, Draconius looks around with his guard up, raising his hands and saying:
"Eternal Mode: Reverse!" A gigantic golden clock appears behind Draconius, its hands spinning counterclockwise.
The environment begins to mend as if time were reversing, returning to the moment when the mental landscape was untouched.
Space starts to fix itself, filling the void with white, and the cracks and craters seem to never have existed.
*SIGH*
Seeing that everything is back in order, he sighs in relief. With a flap of his wings, he lands on the ground.
Suddenly, tears start to flow from his dragon eyes.
*Boom*
"THAT WAS CLOSE!!! I ALMOST DIED. MOM WAS RIGHT, THE OUTSIDE IS TOO SCARY! Luckily, this technique of breaking the limits for a period of time is good and has no side effects, except for the fatigue." He begins to roll on the ground, shouting and whining. His 20-meter size gradually decreases to 5 meters, and his body becomes so tired that he almost falls asleep.
Unfortunately, the poor Immortal Sword died without knowing that not only was his opponent infinitely superior to him in genius, but also that he was a wealthy adversary with numerous divine and supreme techniques.
"I want to go home... it's so comfortable and safe..." With his chin on the ground, he mumbles, closing his eyes to check his soul, spirit, and body state.
After a few seconds, he opens his eyes angrily and stands on his hind legs.
"ROAAAR! NOW, THANKS TO THIS DESPICABLE HUMAN, I HAD TO BE BORN BILLIONS OF YEARS EARLIER THAN PLANNED. I'M PRACTICALLY STILL AT THE MORTAL LEVEL! THIS BASTARD GUY EVEN AFFECTED THE HARMONIES OF THE ELEMENTS IN MY BODY. FORTUNATELY MY FOUNDATION IS SOLID, OR I WOULD HAVE ALREADY EXPLODED!!!" Draconius roars while shouting to the white sky, venting with his front paws raised.
Lowering his arms in defeat, he turns to a hologram in the distance. "Complaining won't help, let's at least see what this strange presence is."
Walking on two legs, he approaches a large hologram floating in the air.
[IT WAS DETECTED ONE OF THE ENTITIES PREVAILED]
[STARTING SYSTEM INTEGRATION AND ACTIVATION: 1%... 3%... 7%...]
Seeing this, a light bulb seems to light up in Draconius's mind.
"I remember!!! Mom and Dad like to collect these systems, they even created a system for themselvess." He recalls the hundreds of thousands of stories he read about a protagonist ascending to the top with one of these systems.
"But why would this help me become a great anomaly? Should I just stop this? Ah, Mom told me that I have an opportunity, it must be this." He speaks with a bored look at the increasing percentage while picking his nose with his claws.
As someone born into an obscenely rich family, Draco really doesn't see the value in a system. However, as his mother said that this was a golden opportunity, he decided to wait without interrupting the bonding.
"Well... maybe this is a legendary system or something worthwhile. For now, I think I'll sleep while fixing my condition." Finished talking to himself, he lies on the ground and closes his eyes, curling up until his head touches his tail.
The screen silently changes without Draco noticing.
[10%... *sigh of relief*... 11%...]
...
Meanwhile...
In a gigantic hall with two giant thrones, a man and a woman were seated with hundreds of beings kneeling below the steps covered by a red carpet that led to the couple.
Golden engravings on the walls decorated the place with a mysterious glow, and pillars of a mysterious purple stone shone, supporting the ceiling that was not visible to the naked eye, thanks to a massive white star used as a chandelier.
"I APOLOGIZE, YOUR EXCELLENCIES! WE HAVE ALREADY ORDERED TO TORTURE THE NOBLES AND LEADERS GUILTY OF OUR ORGANIZATIONS. WE CAN DELIVER THEM AT ANY TIME ALONG WITH THEIR FAMILIES. I BEG YOU TO STOP THE DESTRUCTION, MORE THAN 10% OF THE UNIVERSES HAVE ALREADY BEEN DESTROYED IN THE REGION. PLEASE SPARE OUR LIVES AND COUNTLESS INNOCENTS!" A man who looked like an elf with a star drawn on his forehead speaks, kneeling and repeatedly banging his head on the ground.
All beings did the same, pleading and bowing their heads to humble themselves before the couple, including humans, dwarves, elves, spirits, fairies, druids, demons, vampires, various other races, and even undead.
Suddenly, the woman looks irritated, frightening everyone, who dared not move a muscle to avoid disturbing the couple.
"What's wrong, dear?" The man is well-built, standing at 2 meters, so beautiful that he seemed unreal. His short, shiny black hair is spiked, and his face exhibits incredible beauty with sword-like eyebrows, aquiline nose, and a square face with gentle curves, giving him the appearance of an experienced warrior.
"Shut up!" The woman says irritably and starts biting her thumbnail while looking ahead with a worried look. The man gives his wife a concerned look and straightens up in his chair, afraid to upset her.
The woman, 1.9 meters tall with a sculpted body, ample bosom, long legs, and long arms, also possesses unreal beauty. Her skin is as white as snow, immaculate, with silver straight hair that goes down to her waist. Her face could hypnotize anyone with its curved eyebrows, slightly drooping eyes, full lips, and an oval face, making her look saintly and inviolable.
Despite appearing human, the eyes of both betrayed them with draconic pupils that gave a hunter's gaze.
Time passed, and when everyone could no longer bear the pressure that the woman unconsciously emitted, she finally shouted, jumping off the throne and hugging her husband, "He did it, dear!"
"What?!" The man is confused by his wife's actions.
"Our son!" She says with a shining smile.
"So, that's what it was, Celestia! You worried me for nothing, I never doubted our son!" The man speaks with a relieved sigh and shakes his head in disappointment.
"Of course, I will worry, Zephyrion. He is our only son!" Celestia pouts in irritation.
"He is a man, can fend for himself. He may still be an egg, but he's already in late adolescence!" The man speaks, seeming not to care, but inside he thinks, 'Whew... Thank goodness that kid didn't disappoint me.'
Celestia gets up from his lap and turns to the crowd.
"As I'm in a good mood, I'll stop destroying universes. Hand over all the culprits, but you still have to pay 70% taxes on all the wealth and treasures found during... um... when I'm in a good mood, and I remember the tax, I'll remove it." Celestia waves her hand for everyone to leave.
Those were the highest echelons of these hundreds of races in the small region of the multiverse that Draconius's family inhabited.
They sighed in relief to know that they would not be annihilated.
"THANK YOU VERY MUCH, YOUR EXCELLENCIES!!!" All these beings wanted to personally tear apart the souls of those involved and vowed to discipline their races when they returned.
If the news spread that a group of supreme deities knelt, begging for forgiveness, it would shake to the ends of the multiverse.
...
Meanwhile, inside a cracked egg traveling faster and faster through the multiverse...
In a dormant state, Draco's mind could still find a solution to his situation.
'As I can't naturally be born with elevated power now, I have to do something with the absurd amount of energy still inside the egg... come on, Draco, think of a solution... Ah! My next maturing stage can solve the problem, but to do that, I'll need to look for...'
Suddenly, his sleep is interrupted by a loud notification sound.
*DING*
