Chapter 235 Calissa
Today, an additional two chapters will be released. Swcowboy sent a donation for this back in December, but due to my busy schedule with work and studies, I had to postpone it.
Swcowboy, I saw your donation five days ago, and I will write additional chapters. The same goes for the user Aveline2002. Thank you for your support.
Michigan97 gifted me the Magic Castle 16 days ago. It was insanely generous, and it greatly helped my book. Thank you, friend. I won't be able to arrange additional chapters for this, as it would be physically challenging for me. I hope for your understanding.
Enjoy your reading!

And then, in the silent night, a bright radiance appeared.
Divine radiance—was it the source? Unknown. But the moon, at that moment, was brighter than usual and larger than ever.
Moonlight radiance covered the bodies of the fallen, healing countless wounds. Even those who had lost their hands had them restored. However, did they come back to life? Of course not.
The village chief opened his eyes, feeling a gentle touch on his cheek. He turned around, seeing that the bodies were clean and as mighty as in their prime. But there was no life in them.
"Thank you, Goddess!" the village chief thanked from the bottom of his heart, followed by others.
"Long live the Moon Goddess!"
"Thank you, Moon Goddess!"
The moon in the sky regained its usual glow and size. The mysterious atmosphere from a few seconds ago was no longer felt.

Adam woke up to the noise outside his cave. Opening his eyes, he exhaled, and steam appeared. Looking around, he noticed that it had become cold in the cave. Frowning, he pushed aside a boulder and began to peer through it, realizing that morning had come, and thousands of warriors were at the place where the battle took place at night.
"So many?! Moreover, all of them are 'S-' rank!" Adam was stunned.
His heartbeat quickened, and a sense of danger arose in the depths of his soul, but he didn't dare to move, fearing they would detect him.
Watching as warriors brought huge carts to transport the wolf carcasses, he frowned.
«Creatures of such level engaging in such trivial tasks? Isn't that abnormal?» he thought, feeling perplexed. In the mortal world, beings of this level are almost rulers of the continent, but here, at this moment, they were nothing more than porters. Adam witnessed them doing ordinary loading tasks with his own eyes, momentarily throwing him off balance. His imagination ran wild, and the man couldn't help but envision the peak strength of this world.
If indeed the 'S-' level here was no more than an average level, then wasn't his former Mortal World considered a village?
"Higher Realm... could it be that this is also the Realm of Gods that was once mentioned?" he pondered, frowning.
"I wouldn't say that," a voice suddenly came from behind him.
"What?"
Turning his head, Adam frowned and was greatly surprised, not to find the one who spoke to him.
"Where are you looking, dude? Lower your head," the voice came again.
Adam was puzzled and followed the voice's instruction, looking down. He was surprised to find the same cat he encountered on the beach at his feet.
It was a creature resembling a caracal, but the main difference was its light blue fur and violet eyes. Most importantly, it could speak.
"You... talk?" Adam exclaimed, squatting down and poking the cat's head, which snorted and stepped back.
"And are you deaf and couldn't hear me? Of course, I talk! I'm surprised that a cat speaks... God, you are a villager!" the cat said with irritation. The emotions in its voice were surprisingly human!
After some time, while Adam settled into a comfortable spot and had a conversation with the cat, he learned her name. More precisely, her name... the cat was called Calissa, and she was something like a magical creature, which was quite common in this world. Needless to say, this cat was extremely cheeky and couldn't refrain from using foul language.
"Forget about me. Tell me, are you really from the Lower Realm?" Calissa asked, licking her paw.
"Lower Realm? Is that what you call the Mortal World?" Adam tilted his head and, seeing Calissa's nod sighed: "Well, it's a justified name."
"What surprises me more is that you managed to pass assimilation," Calissa suddenly said, giggling and swaying her tail. "Usually, your predecessors could stay here for no more than a day, and then they were either annihilated by the Will of the Higher Realm or detected by the Gods, then turned to dust."
«Eh? Tell me more about it.»
Calissa didn't show irritation and explained in detail everything she knew. As it turned out, there were indeed people from the Lower Realm before him who tried to enter the Higher Realm, but under the influence of the Will of the Higher Realm, they were either forcibly expelled or died if they resisted.
Of course, they were all peak masters ranging from the 'SS-
level to the 'SSS+' level. In her story, Calissa also mentioned outstanding individuals, among them Queen of Demons Veronica, who almost managed to break through the Will of the World.
"She was the strongest of them all. When she appeared, the entire space around her distorted, and spatial cracks appeared. Even the most outstanding practitioners at that time couldn't do anything with her, and only when the Will of the Higher Realm intervened, she had no choice but to retreat," Calissa narrated, then added, "However, now it would be even harder for her. The Will of the Higher Realm overcame several mergers Directly support the authors on WebNovel!
with powerful beings, and such absorption caused a significant improvement. So, if the Queen of Demons of the Lower Realm invaded here, she would be quickly suppressed and killed."
...
Adam was shocked. In his eyes, he always considered Veronica the most powerful being in the entire world, but now this cat was telling him that she would die as soon as she stepped into the Higher Realm. It was too shocking.
And it seemed his disbelief was noticed by Calissa, who snorted and waved her tail, hitting the floor and causing dust to rise in the air.
"What do you think the Will of an entire world is? These are absolute laws, reinforced by billions of years of existence! In terms of strength, a hundred thousand such Queens of Demons wouldn't be able to harm the Will of the Higher Realm!" Calissa explained irritably, to clarify, she added, "Besides, you should know about the existence of gods. Even they can't harm the Will of the Higher Realm, moreover... ahem, I think you get the idea."
Halfway through her explanation about the gods, Calissa suddenly fell silent and changed the topic. This raised suspicion from Adam, but he decided not to get involved prematurely, especially considering that it involved gods, who are considered mysterious beings, and who knows how one can interact with them, or if it's even possible.
Next, Calissa decided to explain the structure of this world. As it turned out, the Higher Realm was an even larger world than Adam's Lower Realm. There were over a thousand countries and thousands of different races. The levels of development and their methodology were also significantly different from what was in the Lower Realm.
"There are three main kingdoms of development here – the Mortality Realm, the Semi-Immortality Realm, and the Immortality Realm. Of course, the Mortality Realm is not worth mentioning," Calissa began to explain.
"Just, for example, Calissa... Ascendant: demigod (5 worlds) is the highest level in the Lower Realm. With what level is it roughly comparable here?" Adam asked, having a bad feeling about it.
"Hm? Oh, that... I think it's comparable to the Semi-Immortality Realm, at the first stage. Too weak, if you're interested," Calissa replied, disdainfully snorting. She added, "By the way, the Mortality Realm, or rather its first stage, is comparable to your Supreme path (1 law), in short, it's crap."
Adam opened his eyes in shock, feeling how his world changed before his eyes. All those creatures that were once distant from him now seemed like ants in the eyes of the cat!
Moreover, if her words were to be believed, the peak of cultivation in the Lower Realm here was comparable to the first stage of the Semi-Immortality Realm. And if one were to imagine that the Immortality Realm followed, it was impossible not to be horrified!
"By the way, after your, let's say, rebirth, your body has become better, and now you are kind of like a devil, right?" Calissa suddenly asked.
"I don't understand what happened because I entered here quite accidentally," Adam replied, scratching his head and sighing. He didn't want to reveal the details about the Sea Queen.
"Accidentally? Kid, if all those idiots who tried to break in here heard you, they would have strangled you. Hahaha!" Calissa said with cheerful laughter, hitting the floor several times with her tail, raising dust.
Thus, they continued their conversation, learning more and more from each other. Although, Calissa was the one who spoke the most.
***
Two days had passed since Adam met Calissa. Today, Adam looked inspired and joyful.
"You look silly with that expression. Although your face is cute, you are too unserious..." Calissa sighed, standing behind him.
"I only get serious when necessary," Adam replied without turning around.
In one of their conversations, he learned more about his lineage and found out that he was now a devil. Although Calissa didn't have much information about this race, she said that few could recognize a devil in him, even if it was a powerful being.
To his question, "Why?" the cat answered, "Because devils disappeared a million years ago. They were simply exterminated by the Gods."
At first, he was overwhelmed because if he was a devil, a bad fate awaited him if the gods found out about him. But at least, until he gained strength, no one would pay attention to him.
So, for a start, he decided to head to the city he saw in the distance!
