Chapter 230: End of the First Story
Left behind, the universal master looked at the space where the galaxy cluster once was and heaved a sigh.
|All this and he wasn’t even trying. |
Shaking his head, he moved back into the spatial crack he came out of before it closed behind him, alongside the space destroyed by Lucifer’s destruction aura.

After seeing the scenes that were being displayed on the giant film strip around them, Arthur held his head and heaved a sigh before laying down on the floor and staring at the ceiling.
’A ’Grand Supreme’, huh? From what he said, they seem to be capable of ending universes on their own.
Such power...’
The young progenitor was thinking about the new realm of existence he just discovered, the realm of the ’Supreme’.
Much like the ’Deity’ realm, it was split into three sub-realms with each having three stages.
’If a ’candidate’ can destroy a universe, then what can the actual ’Eternals’ do?’
That was another thing that plagued Arthur’s mind, the thought that beings with such a level of power even existed was something that he could not fully comprehend.
’And even with beings on that level, ’that’ would still happen.
If so, I have to make an attempt to stop it, even if it is futile in the end, at least I tried.’
Arthur’s eyes flashed with renewed determination. He sat up and gazed at Lucifer in silence for a few moments before asking a question.
"Hey, do you happen to know about the term ’Balance’?"
Balance!
The same word that the First Progenitor always spoke of. Arthur asked Lucifer if he knew of this thing, unfortunately, the former devil king’s vestige shook his head much to Arthur’s disappointment.
"No problem, carry on with your narration."
Lucifer stared at Arthur with an inquisitive gaze, but seeing as the young progenitor chose to stay silent, he sighed before continuing with his narration.

After Lucifer left the universal master behind, he moved to the location where Alexia was, a different galaxy he had told her to go to in case things went south.
Upon appearing before her, he took a seat on the ground and stared at her in silence. This silence continued for a few minutes before she finally asked.
"Is he dead?"
"Roseborn Vladi XIII, is no more."
Alexia rose an eyebrow at his reply, the next moment, the realization dawned upon her and she stood up, grabbing Lucifer’s shoulders as she asked impatiently.
"Did he escape?!!"
Lucifer nodded with a sigh before answering.
"It was not the complete him in the first place, only about 80%. Even after that, another 10% managed to escape while I was distracted by the universe’s master."
Alexia dropped down to her seat and let out a wry laugh.
"I would say you should give chase but if you do, you’d have the entire Vladi Supercluster and its allies against you.
Even if you could win individually, your power isn’t infinite. They’d just wear you down until you’re too exhausted to deal with them.
There’s also no point in destroying any of their universes too."
She facepalmed and heaved a sigh of relief before continuing.
"If he could escape from even you, then there’s no one I know who can get him."
"He only has less than 30% of his full power, killing him now would be like squashing a bug."
"And he knows that, his hundred million years were not for nothing. He’s wise, he would not show himself much until he has recovered his power."
Alexia replied to Lucifer as she thought about the existence that she called ’Father’.
Roseborn Vladi XIV
With the death of Roseborn Vladi XIII, he would now be the new ruler of the Vladi Universal Supercluster.
That was what the outside world would think.
They would never know, that the authority of the ruler of the Vladi Supercluster actually didn’t change hands.
In fact, it never did.
From the very beginning, the Vladi Supercluster has only had one supreme ruler.
In other words, Roseborn Vladi I, down to Roseborn Vladi XIV, were all the same person.
Alexia’s father might be called Roseborn Vladi XIV, but Alexia knew fully well that the one whose soul resided in that body, was Roseborn Vladi I.
Ever since his first death, he had been continuously reincarnating into the bodies of his most talented children.
The process of being selected as the successor to the Supreme ruler, was simply just Roseborn designating his successor’s body as his next main vessel.
The real owner of Roseborn Vladi XIV’s body had long been devoured by him and replaced with more than half of his soul.
As for what was left, it remained in the body of Roseborn Vladi XIII and acted as the Supreme Ruler of the Vladi Supercluster.

Arthur had to take a step back to digest the greater information that Lucifer had just graced him with. The young progenitor was beginning to get a headache from all these mind-blowing facts entering his head at once.
"At this rate, you might as well just tell me how all of existence came to be..."
He spoke out sarcastically while shaking his head, however, the devil king’s vestige only raised an eyebrow at him before bursting out in laughter.
The words he spoke next, however, were not funny in any way or form.
"If I did, your brain would liquefy and flow out through your ears. Your soul would also collapse in on itself due to the influx of information."
"Huh?"
Lucifer’s vestige just laughed even more as he ignored Arthur’s dumbfounded face and walked away. He took advantage of Arthur’s stunned state to look at his arm as his lips curled into a wry smile.
’Seems I don’t have much time left. About a month or two. If I force it, then maybe three.
I should pour as much knowledge I can into his head before I disappear.’
He then used an illusion to hide his fading existence as he turned back to Arthur and beckoned him to come over.

While Arthur’s mind was being blown in the unknown area of the Varona realm, Layla’s mind was being blown for a totally different reason.
"I knew that you and Arthur were weird as fuck, but WHAT THE HELL??!!"
