The System Awakens: Rise of the Champion - Chapter 249

Capítulo 249: Chapter 249: Reunion

“Damn all this thinking, I forgot I need equipment… looks like I need to go to the library, huh?” Damian sighed.

“You don’t need equipment. You have the capability to establish the field yourself,” the primordial being said.

“I know I can, but I have to be here at all times. And as powerful as my mind is, I don’t want to constantly keep my attention on the field. I want to make it self-operating, and I’m even thinking of leaving some of the Seraphim, maybe even the Seven Angels of Virtue, to oversee it in my absence,” Damian said, rubbing his chin.

Damian looked at his subordinates. “It looks like we need to go to the Upper Plane to get the keys from the twins.”

“The twins? Library? Upper Plane? You have to explain, my king,” Maria asked with a frustrated expression.

“The library I referred to is a place I created in one of my previous lives, the place where I stored all my inventions, discoveries, and creations. Millions of them, created over thousands upon thousands of years,” Damian continued, looking at Elfie. “The [Law Forger], which the Norse gods used to extract the life force of mortals and transform it into power to increase the advancement of their divine concepts, was also made by me. It came from my library.”

“My king, do you mean there are more things like that in this secret library you created?” Elfie asked with a curious expression.

“Worse. The Law Forger is something I created on a free day. I don’t even remember why I made it, to be honest. There are far worse things than the [Law Forger] inside, equipment, resources, pills, weapons, everything you can imagine. Everything dangerous, even for gods to use. But I believe I have things good enough to be used by you,” Damian continued.

“Anyway, the library exists in another dimension, separate from the Lower, Upper, and Supreme Planes, a dimension where neither the living nor the dead have any place to venture into. That’s the reason I placed my library there in the first place.”

“Right now, even I cannot enter that dimension,” Damian sighed. “At least not until I evolve into a True Primordial Progenitor. Only then will I achieve the status of a complete and true primordial.”

“I can get you there,” the Primordial Beginning offered.

“No. I’ll get the keys. Besides, the time has come for me to reveal my existence to the Upper Plane pantheons,” Damian said with a smile, then looked at Maria, Elfie, and the others. “I guess it’s time for you all to meet my family.”

“Your family?” Maria asked.

“Yes. I have a family in the Upper Plane, quite a big one, too,” Damian said. Then he sensed several presences entering the layers of heaven. “What timing. Everyone’s here.”

One after another, presences descended and landed in front of Damian.

Amelia, Lenora, Avaline the Vampire Countess, the six werewolf generals, and all the women in his harem appeared.

“I was just talking about the Upper Plane… how are things going up there?” Damian asked with a small smile.

“Everything has been prepared just as you asked. We sent letters to each of the leaders and lords of the pantheons of both the Upper and Lower Planes,” Lenora said, nodding.

“It was pretty annoying. We had already sent an invitation to them, then invited them to the kingdom, and then had to send another letter apologizing and telling them the event was canceled and that they could disregard the previous invitation,” Amelia said with a grunted expression.

“How did the family head handle it?” Damian asked.

He knew the person with the most chaotic personality wasn’t Amelia or Avaline, but the family head.

Given her nature, she wouldn’t have been happy about writing letters to leaders she mostly hated.

“Surprisingly, she didn’t destroy anything. She was too happy knowing you’re going back to her,” Avaline added.

Damian looked at everyone with a small smile. “Let’s head to the Upper Plane, then. It’s time to meet everyone.”

“Who are the twins you were talking about? You still haven’t told us who they are,” Maria asked.

“The twins? They’re my sisters, in a way, my elder sisters,” Damian said with a faint smile.

“YOU HAVE SISTERS?!”

Everyone exclaimed in shock.

“Yeah, and not just those two. Why is that really so shocking?” Damian asked with a chuckle.

“Are all your sisters like you?” Elfie asked.

“No one can be like me. I’m an anomaly, remember?” Damian said.

It may have sounded narcissistic, but it was simply the truth.

There could be no one like him.

He was the definition of uniqueness, an anomaly among anomalies.

…

Nevalia

A world that belonged solely to the Kingdom of Ignatius, a beautiful realm filled with countless spirits, evolved monsters, and majestic beasts.

Unlike other worlds, this one had no supernatural races inhabiting it.

Instead, it was home only to beings such as spirits, fairies, and monsters, entities that would never think of destroying nature, for they were, after all, beings born from it.

It was a world Damian had gifted to his family with the help of the World Tree, Yggdrasil.

As this world fell under her domain, Nevalia was designated as a sanctuary, a place where only his family and those closest to him could live without disturbance from the rest of the universe.

At the heart of a vast forest stretching thousands of miles in every direction stood a single castle.

It was a place where the Ignatius family and their inner circle could rest, retreat, or simply be alone.

Usually, the castle was nearly empty, occupied only by Lenora, Amelia, Avaline, and, for most of the time, the family head herself.

But today was different. The castle was more crowded than it had been at any other point in its existence.

“How long are you guys going to glare at me like that?” the family head asked, glancing at the three women seated across from her at the dining table.

If looks could kill, she would have died, reincarnated, and been killed again in an endless cycle.

The three women did not respond.

They simply sat there in silence, as though they no longer wished to hear another word from her mouth.

It felt as if, should they give in, someone might die from their anger.

All three women possessed emerald green eyes and heads of fiery red hair.

Two of them were identical in every way, face, height, and presence, clearly twins.

The third was visibly older.

Like the family head, all three were goddesses.

The family head raised an eyebrow before turning her attention to another woman sitting nearby, one who, unlike the three sisters, had white hair like her own and deep blue eyes.

“What’s up with you, Victoria?” she asked.

“Oh, I knew he was back for quite some time now. It’s pretty obvious,” Victoria replied expressionlessly. “Your daughter might not have noticed, but I did.”

“Then why are you so grumpy?”

“Oh, that,” Victoria said with a faint smile, though the veins on her forehead were clearly visible. “I just hate the way your face looks when you’re that happy. It makes me want to squash it into something unrecognizable, but I won’t.”

“Glad to see you’re back to your usual personality,” the family head muttered.

“Fufu, it’s been a while since we all gathered like this,” said a woman with long golden hair and blue eyes similar to Avaline’s, one of Damian’s first wives.

“Avanora, you do know my son has evolved into a Primordial Progenitor, right?” the family head asked.

“Of course I do, Valentina.” Avanora, the mother of Avaline and the reigning Queen of the Kingdom of Flanora, presided over a pantheon as powerful as any other.

“You know I’m also part of the Celestial Races. I felt it the moment the Primordial Progenitor was born. I’m sure the others did as well. Honestly, the fact that everything has been so quiet is quite surprising,” Avanora said.

“Well, what can they do?” she continued calmly. “A Primordial Progenitor stands on the same level as the other Primordials. As the master, creator, and father of all intelligences that exist and will exist, he terrifies them. They will have no choice but to obey.”

“Aren’t you worried about that?” Victoria asked.

“What is there to worry about?” Avanora replied with a shrug. “The Primordial Progenitor is my son in law. With the power he’s gained, I would have made him King of Flanora myself. My only daughter would be queen, and I could finally take my eternal vacation.”

She paused. “Well, a vacation aside from dealing with raiders.”

Suddenly, everyone fell silent.

They sensed a presence, then several more, appearing one after another.

In the next instant, everyone inside the castle found themselves outside, standing before a group of figures.

Their gazes were drawn to the man at the front.

“It’s been a while, everyone.”

He smiled softly.

“I’m back… again.”
