A sudden emergence of a ck liquid substance surprised everyone in the Genesis City Remedium.


    Ninth and the rest of her team stepped backward as they saw the ck liquid form in front of them into what seemed like pirs.


    Even the Enchanted Queen didn''t know what was happening. She eyed the ck liquid with suspicion. She was ready to act whenever this ck liquid did something with malice towards them.


    What was most unsettling about the ck liquid was the strange skulls forming around the surface of the ck liquid. It looked like they were humans, who were trying to break through the ck liquid to gasp for air. But unfortunately, they would be forever trapped in the ck liquid with no way out.


    This led them to believe that the ck Dragon Malificient hade crawling back from the dead.


    But the only one who didn''t feel afraid was Tulip. Somehow, the power and aura emanating from the ck liquid was something familiar to her. It was as if she could feel An''s presence within it.


    Knowing An''s power to absorb the deaths of all those he had witnessed, everything made sense for Tulip.


    She watched with bated breaths as the ck liquid continued to form into a ck door, with deathly symbols and creatures embedded deep into the very door itself.


    It looked like the doorway to hell itself.


    A few secondster, the double door that led to the infernalnds of the dead suddenly creaked open, showing a glimpse of the void and nothingness beyond.


    TAP TAP TAP


    The sounds of delicate footsteps rang out into the Remedium, surprising Ninth and the rest of them. Just the fact that those footsteps sounded human led them to believe that this was someone they knew! This was An.


    And just as they guessed, the one that came walking out of the depths of hell was none other than An himself.


    Somehow, he only had a ck robe donned upon himself and nothing else. The battle suit that he once wore was gone, destroyed from the very explosion that should have killed him from the very beginning.


    Tulip immediately ran towards An and embraced him. She was worried for a second there that he truly died, but she was d that she was wrong. An would never die!


    The Enchanted Queen chuckled to herself.


    She knew just how low the chances of An surviving that explosion were. After all, it was thebination of the holy explosion and his own explosion that would have certainly doomed his entire being before he could even try to do something about it.


    But somehow, he was able to do it. Not only that, the power and aura he was emitting now was unlike anything she had ever seen before.


    If An was a simple worm back then, then now he had grown into his own dragon of death, who emanated a subtle but terrifying aura of nonchnce. It was as if he didn''t care if people died or not, because it all benefited him in the end.


    "I see you''ve consolidated your new strength," said the Enchanted Queen.


    Somehow, the chaos and destruction caused by the holy explosion allowed An to forcibly consolidate all the power and strength he gained from the hundreds of thousands of Specialist-level Canzers.


    That would have been impossible through any other circumstance. But through a stroke of luck, the holy explosion urred just in time as his own explosion, allowing a very rare moment in time where An and the power he gained were all destroyed into mere atoms.


    The power he gained turned from a hostile entity into a collection of pure energy.


    So, when he rebuilt his body, it was easy to incorporate the new energy into his own power, increasing it tremendously without any of the downsides.


    This was a once-in-a-lifetime moment, and somehow, An was able to achieve it.


    She didn''t know if this was luck or fate at this point.


    But there was one thing for sure. The Enchanted Queen was d that she allied herself with An. Now that he had consolidated into a near demi-god being of death, she was sure that all the other gods of the humans were starting to get afraid.


    "I still don''t know the full extent of my powers," said An.


    Right now, he felt both human and godlike at the same time.


    He felt full of power, yet unable to assess how much.


    He was still getting used to his new body. Even the Soul System that he was so familiar with back then was gone, and reced by that dimensionless point in the middle of his body.


    "An, is…is that you?" Ninth and the other Saviors slowly approached the Star Porter.


    Even though he looked the same, his presence waspletely different from the porter that they knew at the beginning. It was as if they were looking at a more mature, scarred An who was ready to do anything to achieve his goals.


    "Yes, it''s me," An replied. "But I''ve changed. I needed to. We need to. After all, our way of life has beenpletely overturned. Chaos and destruction are happening in our City at this very moment."


    Ninth and the others couldn''t understand the further meaning inside his words.


    "What do you mean?" Ninth asked.


    An pointed at the remnants of the church beneath their feet. There was nothing but ashes and coal in this ce.


    "The Church is destroyed. The whole City is panicking at this moment," An replied, looking out into the distance.


    This led Ninth and the others to panic as well.


    "That''s not possible."


    "You stopped the explosion, right?"


    "This is the Remedium. Anything that happens here stays in the Remedium."


    With regard to their confusion, the Enchanted Queen had to give them the true spiel.


    "The Church is a critical point in your territory. Once it is destroyed here, then it is destroyed in the real world as well."@@novelbin@@
