Kallus moved with precision and resoluteness.
His golden draconic aura, interwoven with shimmering white celestial particles, surged across his body, distorting the very air around him.
Raising his katana with his right hand, its blade gleamed with an ethereal white glow, illuminating the battlefield with divine radiance. As the blade reached just above his head, his left hand joined the hilt, gripping firmly just beneath the right.
His stance adjusted. His center of gravity aligned.
The primordial mana in the air intensified, crackling around him like a raging storm. The force of his power shook the earth, sending dust swirling and debris floating, only to be obliterated by the sheer magnitude of his energy.
His unreadable violet gaze locked onto Solunara one final time.
Cold. Resolute. Absolute.
With a voice like a whisper carried by the winds of destiny, he uttered:
[Endless Technique: Katana Series—Heaven-Splitting Slash.]
The celestial energy around his katana exploded in intensity, completely engulfing the blade in a blinding white radiance. The very heavens dimmed as if recoiling from the power being summoned. Space trembled, time wavered, and reality itself began to crack.
Then, in one fluid, unstoppable motion, he brought the katana down.
The moment the blade descended—the world split apart.
A monolithic white energy slash surged forward, cutting through everything in its path—earth, space, and time itself were torn asunder. Instead of fading, the celestial energy only grew stronger, expanding in scale, its intensity magnifying with every passing moment.
It reached Solunara in less than a millisecond.
Even as death loomed, she refused to retreat.
With her last remaining strength, she let out a defiant roar, summoning every ounce of mana left in her tattered form. She would not fall in disgrace. She would meet her fate with pride—with fire and fury.
But it was futile.
The celestial energy engulfed her completely.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
A cataclysmic detonation erupted across the battlefield.
Solunara’s form shattered, her fusion undone, revealing Solaris and Lunara in their original states. But even they could not escape—the Heaven-Splitting Slash consumed them as well.
There was no scream.
No sound.
Only blinding white light… and then, silence.
The energy slash did not stop. It carved through the battlefield, extending for miles, splitting the very earth itself, forming a fissure so deep that its bottom was unseen. The impact sent shockwaves rippling across the entire central continent of Origin Prime, making the world itself tremble. Even space above them had been torn apart, the very fabric of reality struggling to mend itself.
As the dust settled, Kallus exhaled.
Kallus stood there for a while, his gaze locked onto the slowly healing rift in space, watching as the fabric of reality attempted to mend itself. The battlefield was eerily silent now—only the distant howling of the wind and the faint crackling of residual energy remained.
Then—
BOOM!
A thunderous explosion erupted from within his body, as if something had shattered inside him.
Kallus’ eyes widened in shock. He knew what had broken.
His very foundation had shifted. The barrier of his cultivation had crumbled.
He had broken through—Level 2 of the Grandmaster Rank.
For a brief moment, he stood frozen, dazed by the sudden surge of power coursing through his veins. His body trembled as the immense energy within him restructured itself, adapting to his newfound strength. The very air around him vibrated, and golden-white energy spiraled around his form in radiant arcs.
But he did not lose himself in it.
With a slow, steady breath, he stabilized his rank, forcing the raging power to settle within him.
Only then did he shift his focus back to the battlefield.
His gaze fell upon the spot where Solunara had once stood. His emotions were complex, yet unshaken. He had done what needed to be done.
Yet, in his heart, he had come to respect them—Solunara, Solaris, and Lunara.
Without a word, he bowed his head.
A silent acknowledgment. A warrior’s respect.
He gave one last glance toward where Solunara and Lunara had stood, their presence now reduced to mere memory and scorched earth. Then, without hesitation, he turned around.
At that moment, a series of golden notifications flashed before his Primordial Eyes.
[System Notification]
[Congratulations, Host!]You have completed your Trial of Evolution and successfully defeated your opponent: Solaris, the Flame Empress, and Lunara, the Queen of Frost.]

[Rewards]

Kallus’ eyes flickered as he went through his rewards, absorbing their details.
His eyebrows slightly raised when he saw the first reward—
Solaris and Lunara… reborn.
His emotions churned for a brief moment.
While he wasn’t close to them, and he knew that after some time, he might not even care, he still respected both of them. And that respect was something he would not forget.
Now, they had been given to him—reborn into their most vulnerable and initial forms, with no memory of their past battles.
Still, he was grateful to the Supreme Being.
And he already knew who he would give them to.
Two figures appeared in his mind—two of the most important women in his life.
One had the gentlest eyes—his mother, whom he had lost in his previous life.
The other was his newfound sister, whose presence was awakening within him through the past memories of the Kallus that once existed in this universe, the one whose soul had merged with his.
Kallus let out a deep sigh.
He had no intention of forming a contract with Solaris and Lunara himself.
To him, the Wolf of Destruction was enough.
Thinking about it, his lips twitched.
"This thing has already given me enough headaches over the years... I don’t need more," he muttered.
His gaze then shifted to the last reward—
[Unique Skill – GOD OF MACHINERY]
The moment his eyes landed on it, information and knowledge about the skill flooded into his mind.
His breath hitched.
"This… this ability…" he whispered.
It changes everything.
The countless possibilities flashed through his mind.
Though it was limited by his rank, it was still an incredibly powerful skill.
He shook his head.
"They’ll all find out soon enough."
A smirk tugged at his lips.
Finally, his attention landed on the note left by the System.
As he read over it, his mouth violently twitched.
His entire body stiffened as he struggled not to react.
He knew all too well…
Thinking too much about the Supreme Being’s words might invite punishment.
Hmph.
He let out a sharp breath and stomped his foot.
.....
[A/N: Endless Technique is a collection of Kallus’s most powerful and ultimate attacks, primarily created by himself after absorbing, studying, and training with all the knowledge provided by his physique, bloodline, and soul as his life rank increases. These techniques are evolving in nature—skills that grow alongside him and never stagnate.
As for other techniques like Primordial Destruction Technique and Chaos Technique:
The primordial Destruction Technique is centered entirely on wide-range attacks and destruction as its core essence. When Kallus employs this technique, his goal is to overwhelm his opponents within a limited time, as he did against the Flaming Bear.
Chaos Technique, while its destructive capabilities and wide-area attacks are unquestionable, is best suited for prolonged battles. In such encounters, Kallus aims to overpower his opponents through sheer energy and his vast stamina.
