"Don't you dare." Uttered a powerful feminine voice.
"Why not? Dad helped me back then, why can't I help him?" He asked with a frown.
"Do you not see the crimson glow within his eyes? He is not challenging the Heavens brother, he is challenging it all."
"All of it in its totality." Though the voice stayed serious, the golden eyed man could feel the smile creeping up on her face as she spoke.
"No…it's even better!" She abruptly uttered, her serious tone vanishing, replaced by excitement.
"Its himself." Calmly added the golden eyed man.
"Gramps is really gonna like him."
***
"Tsk."
Time retook its course as the skies cleared and the pressure lessened.
Flowing back down, Orion sat down, ignoring the fact that his cave was once again destroyed.
Taking a deep breath in, he exhaled as the edge within his gaze vanished and his usual demeanour returned.
"I'm sorry."
"You're sorry? You are?" Roared Vulkron, his anger threatening to spill over.
"You know me better than I do myself. You know I'm sorry. I didn't mean to worry you nor was my goal to die."
"You know how hard headed I am. Though I'm sorry, I can't promise that I won't risk my life again like I just did." Said Orion, taking full responsibility for his actions.
Heavily sighing, Vulkron calmed down.
"I just don't understand…why the rush? Why the risk?"
"You never stop, you never slow down, constantly accelerating toward tragedy."
"It may not seem like it but all my actions are measured and calculated. I do what I want when I want but I do it in the most efficient and calculated way possible."
"I know, your brain moves faster than even I can fathom but one day, it won't be enough."
Swaying his head in disapproval, Orion spoke.
"This is why you're stuck in the Mystic God realm, you still have a mortal's perspective. Whether I die or not does not matter, like I said before, death is not an end, just a deviation."
"Fear is the mind killer Vulkron. To reach the peak, every single one of my steps must be as fearless and honest to myself as possible."
"What does that have to do with anything Orion? You're just reckless!" He said, irritated by Orion's remark.
"You wouldn't get it. Perhaps I need to die for you to understand." Said Orion with a sigh.
Hearing this, Vulkron froze in shock and contemplation as he became silent.

"Wow… that's more than I expected."
'Hm, that's good. I'll be able to nurture my heaven sealing lightning- wait!'
Before he could finish his train it thought, a gentle yet supremely powerful arc of lightning coiled around him as he felt in complete control of it.
As it danced through the air, the laws cried out in pain as space shattered.
Curious, Orion extended a finger as he concentrated as much lightning as he could onto.
Instantly, the temperature spiked, in fact, it spiked so fast and intensely even his Origin Chaos Titan Emperor body felt threatened by the heat.
Though he knew this was a mere illusion since his own power would never harm him, he stood dazed.
'I'll need an internal elemental circulation technique. The speed boost I could get from this is astonishing!'

•Abilities~

As he read more and more about his elemental shield ability, Orion couldn't help but chuckle.
Considering his bloodlines would eventually fuse then grow alongside his cultivation, he could only wonder at how powerful this ability would become in the future.
Currently, Orion stood at the peak of the middle stages of the realm of Blood.
Closing his eyes, crimson runes appeared on his skin as he chanted the {Chaos Finality} mantra.
The might of his physique violently shot up as more and more of his blood force was refined.
After cultivating for a few days and stabilising his body, Orion stood up, lightly stretching as he felt at his peak.
Multiple plans constantly swirled around his mind and it was time for the first one to be enacted.
Exiting his training realm, Orion went back to their family residence as he took a shower.
Scrubbing off all the excess blood and filth that had oozed out of his body, he felt a strange sense of peace and comfort invade him as he mysteriously smiled.
'Ahh! Self care…' he happily sighed.
After brushing his teeth, he promptly formed a blade using his newly acquired wind element then cut his hair so it fell to his shoulders and not feet.
Looking at his handsome face within his bathroom's mirror, he couldn't help but arrogantly smirk.
'Ugly if you ask me. I don't see the appeal with humanoids when you could get a beautiful, magnificent-'
Phasing Vulkron out of his mind, Orion put on a loose dark golden changpao embroidered in white designs of dragons and phoenixes.
As soon as he finished, Cecilia appeared behind him.
"I looked at all our available mortal survival training realms and according to the requirements you gave me, four fit your needs." She humbly said as she internally raised a brow at the incredible amount of blood force contained within him.
"Read them out to me with a brief description."
"Demon Scouring Sealed Realm; a realm created by ancestor Demonic eye as it is filled with the descendants of the royal demons we killed during the silver purge. The atmosphere is filled with demonic essence, meaning you'll be slightly suppressed until you adapt and your blood force may become corrupted if you expose it too much to the world. The strongest of their ranks have reached the Saint realm with Heaven innate grade prowess."
