Chapter 1135: Punishment!
"No," Aakesh said, refusing to take help from Katrina.
Even though the quest didn't talk about him seeking the help of others, Aakesh didn't want to. Aakesh didn't enjoy killing, but that didn't mean he wouldn't.
The moment Hartol planned to kill Aakesh, he became Aakesh's enemy, and Aakesh had no mercy for his enemies; only death was their fate.
Lily calmed down after Aakesh promised to tell her what the things were, and things returned to normal.
Time flew by, and it had been two hours since the store opened its doors for the day.
Many store customers couldn't afford an extended stay, so they chose the 1x entry and stayed inside Panagea for six hours, as they did before the update to the product.
More than half of the portals became vacant as customers left the portal room one by one.
Katrina and Autumn were one of the large group of people waiting to enter Panagea, so they proceeded toward the room.
In no time, there were only a few hundred people left in the waiting corner. Since there were no new customers approaching him, Aakesh closed his eyes and began another of his relaxation sessions.
Lily, sitting on Aakesh's hair bun, didn't seem to be excited anymore. She was only thinking about what to do with the being who sent the parcel once she found him.

Somewhere in the Multiverse,
"Was this your plan?" A figure seated on a throne in the dark asked.
"Naah, I have nothing to do with it. It's all his doing," A reply came in response from the empty space. The voice had a hint of a lively tone to it.
"You don't need to lie to me," The figure on the throne commented. The next moment, a screen appeared and played out the scene of a sudden attraction force appearing and melting into the cultivator, increasing his strength by leaps and bounds.
"She warned you last time," The figure further added.
The voice in the dark fell silent as hearing her, he couldn't help but remember the past scenes.
"I have kept my promise," The figure in the dark commented.
The being on the throne only shook his head since his friend was stubborn, and once he had set his eyes upon something, he wouldn't stop till he got it.
The being on the throne could see the future turning grim for his friends, but he could do nothing to stop the man due to her order.
"You are not to step out of the &$(^@)_ for the next three thousand years!"
Suddenly, a female voice filled with chill rang in the area, making the man in the dark shudder.
The man wanted to say something, but suddenly a door opened and sucked him inside, not giving him a chance to fight back.
"My lord!"
The man seated on the throne suddenly stood out and kneeled in the direction of the voice.
There stood a woman with a blurry figure, staring at the screen. She sighed and then disappeared from there, leaving the man and the screen.
"Just what have you put us into?" The man mumbled as he stood up and sat down on his throne.
Soon after, only silence was left in the area as the man closed his eyes, leaving nothing but darkness.

In the deep space of the Sacred Dimension,
An endless creature sleeping in the void suddenly jerked, destroying several galaxies around it instantly.
A pair of eyes larger than the universe opened up, and they were filled with terror as if something unprecedented was going to happen, and it wasn't good for the dimension.
The creature was one of the eleven Void Beasts of the Sacred Dimension and the only creature to receive the title of Dimension Throne. The enormous pair of eyes turned around and looked to the left.
The Void Beasts were omniscient in the Sacred Dimension. There was no restriction, no illusion that could block their eyes.
But the more the beast looked, the greater the terror became in its eyes, as it could see nothing. It could only sense there was something in it that caused it to suddenly awaken, but its omniscient ability failed at this juncture.

Harlot, who was celebrating the taste of Ishtan's soul, suddenly frowned and looked to his right. His heart palpitated as if there was something terrible looking at him.
But he soon calmed down as the feeling slowly diminished. There was still a frown on his face, but for some reason, the terror he felt a moment ago was no longer there.
Hartol believed his sudden gain from three months ago to be the cause of this, so trusting in the power, he stopped thinking about it.
Three months ago, Hartol was busy in a ruin, fighting against a beast. He was on the losing end and was thinking of escaping from the scene.
Right at that time, a miracle had occurred as a red ball of light, the size of a tennis ball, appeared out of nowhere and melted into him.
Hartol felt a warm feeling rush through his body at that moment, making him stronger. When the process ended, his cultivation was the same as before, but his inherent strength had grown by leaps and bounds.
Hartol was losing against the beast, but after the absorption, he killed the creature with a single punch.
Even though Hartol's strength grew, a side effect also increased with it. Since his ascension, Hartol knew that whoever gave him the power wanted him to harm the store owner.
After the absorption, the feeling of harming the store owner grew in intensity like never before. At first, Hartol tried to push it deep down in his heart and try to solve the issue with more kills, but the situation was different, unlike before, when he could calm his heart down with cruel slaughters.
The more Hartol tried to push the feeling back, the more the intensity grew. And the more Hartol tried to think of ways to harm Aakesh, the greater his strength growth rate became.

Unaware of things going on, Aakesh was relaxing in his chair with his eyes closed in the store.
