In Area No. 3, at this moment, a blonde man with a handsome face was dressed in an exceptionally high-quality white outfit.
He was seated on the back of a Golem, his eyes filled with excitement as he gazed at the glowing crystal orb before him.
He could sense an immense power within it; his soul and mind told him that this crystal orb would elevate his strength to a new level.
Yes, he was Jankos.
Upon arriving in this new territory, Jankos was almost the strongest person in the area. Combined with his communication and leadership skills, he quickly became the king of this place.
Not long ago, during a hunt to search for more energy crystals, he discovered an ancient tomb.
Although Jankos found nothing useful inside the tomb, he did come across a peculiar crystal orb.
Jankos had no idea what this crystal orb was or what it did, but his instincts told him clearly that it was extremely important to him.
For that reason, he decided to keep the crystal orb with him and slowly uncover its purpose.
Then today, out of nowhere, while he was resting, the crystal orb emitted a dazzling light, accompanied by a massive surge of energy.
His soul and instincts screamed at him, urging him to absorb the energy within the crystal orb.
Overjoyed, Jankos immediately placed his hand on the orb.
At that moment, a tremendous wave of energy surged into his body.
The crystal orb completely disappeared a few minutes later, and Jankos could feel his power increasing.
He exhaled deeply, releasing a stream of white mist from his mouth and nose.
Jankos clenched his fist, the sound of cracking joints ringing sharply.
He approached a large tree over ten meters tall, its trunk more than two meters wide, and then threw a punch at it.
BAM!
Jankos' fist appeared smaller than the massive trunk, but the entire tree trembled slightly upon impact.
Withdrawing his fist, he observed the point of contact—it now bore a small hole, surrounded by spiderweb-like cracks.
Jankos grinned in satisfaction, his smile widening even further when a notification window appeared before him.
[Ding! Congratulations, Lord Jankos, has successfully levelled up to Rank B-Peak.]
"Hahahaha… hahahaha…" Jankos laughed wildly, his laughter echoing throughout his domain.
Fortunately, this was his territory; if anyone else were here, they might have thought he had gone mad.
"B-Peak… Hahahaha… B-Peak." Jankos laughed maniacally.
Previously, he had unified the entire area with just a Rank B.
Now that he had evolved to Rank B-Peak, was anyone left to challenge him?
Jankos knew there were still people behind the scenes who resented seeing him as the ruler of this land.
At that time, he was only a Rank B Lord, his strength limited, unable to face them all head-on.
But now things were different—he had evolved to Rank B-Peak.
In a region filled only with Rank B Lords, he was truly the king, the absolute ruler of this land.
Jankos turned his gaze toward his Stone Golems; their appearances had also changed.
Molten lava now coursed through their joints, radiating an intense heat.
The eyes of the Stone Golems were no longer dull as before; instead, they had transformed into two small, burning lava stones.
Furthermore, Jankos' Golem now wielded a massive stone mace, covered in countless flowing veins of lava.
Jankos' Hero Golem was once a diamond Golem, but now, instead of being massive and cumbersome, it had instantly shrunk to the size of a normal human.
Its legs resembled two sharp spears, both pointed and razor-sharp. Its arms had transformed into two gleaming blades, so sharp that with just a single spin, it sliced through a thick tree easily.

A tree with a diameter of more than two meters was cut cleanly, like a cake, before toppling onto the ground.
"Hahahaha… hahahaha…" Jankos burst into laughter, his expression filled with madness and arrogance. "Let's see who dares to oppose me now."
Suddenly, Jankos thought of Lylia and Noan. Of course, his mind was primarily focused on Lylia.
As for Noan? Hahahaha… A mere Rank F Lord—trash.
Even when Jankos was just Rank B, Noan was already garbage.
Now that he had reached Rank B-Peak, Noan was even more worthless, not even comparable to an insect.
Besides, Jankos could feel that B-Peak was not his limit; the surplus energy within him remained vast, like an immense reservoir.
He speculated that he might be able to evolve once more in the future.
"Hahahaha… Lylia, you once looked down on me, but when we meet again, you will know how much I love you."
As Jankos spoke, his eyes gleamed with greed and desire, like a wolf staring at its prey.
Meanwhile, back to Noan.
At this moment, he could feel his physical strength increasing dramatically.

Additionally, the magical energy within him was growing stronger.
If before it had been a small pond, now it had become a vast lake, growing at least ten times compared to before.
[Ding! Congratulations, you have acquired a new ability - Destiny List.
Description: This list allows you to identify individuals who carry the destiny of the world if they appear within your line of sight.
Each 'Fate Holder' possesses a fragment of Destiny. Only by eliminating them can you seize their Destiny Fragment.
Obtaining a Destiny Fragment will grant you unimaginable rewards.]
Upon reading the notification, Noan immediately felt despair.
A Fate Holder—just hearing the name alone was enough to know that these individuals were far from ordinary.
Each was an incredibly terrifying existence, possessing unparalleled power and talent—true geniuses among geniuses.
And who was he? Just a lucky person with an SSS-rank talent—how could he possibly stand against such monstrous beings?
Noan felt like crying. He wanted to live a peaceful life, hiding away and growing stronger until he became invincible.
However, all of his plans had been ruined by a single foolish decision.
Noan deeply regretted it. He had no idea why he had been so eager to explore this cave. He could have just sent Vylyss and Malrik to investigate at that time instead.
He sighed, feeling utterly hopeless and exhausted.
Well, at least the only fortunate thing was that he possessed an SSS-rank talent. In this region, he probably wouldn't encounter any Fate Holders.
After all, this was an area meant for Rank F and E Lords. Noan doubted that a Fate Holder would appear here.
"At least I'm in this small area," Noan muttered. "Looks like I still have a little more time to grow."
His mind was soon pulled back to reality. At this moment, nestled in his arms was an unbelievably beautiful woman—the one who had been imprisoned in the ice column.
Noan realized his hand was resting on a particularly soft spot. Instinctively, he squeezed it slightly, feeling a surge of excitement.
"So soft…"
Suddenly, the woman in his embrace furrowed her brows, then slowly opened her eyes.
Her blood-red pupils locked onto his as if piercing straight into his soul, making his heart race.
Her gorgeous face was just ten centimeters from his, making his heartbeat even more erratic.
Then, out of nowhere, she tilted her head and gave him a devilish grin.
"Soft, isn't it?"
Noan: "..."
