What in the hell even is a Universal Protector?!(EDITED)
Helix: [Path has been opened. Bestowing the God Of Destruction Bloodline to the host! Bestowment complete! 100% of the bloodline has been sealed! Do you wish to try and comprehend a small piece of the bloodline?]
Jay: Yeah! Let's first find a secluded area first though.
Jay went back to Tora and Miku and informed Sven to stay and watch over them.
Sven understood his master was going to 'breakthrough' so he respectfully complied with his request not that he had a choice to decline either way.
After chatting and playing with Miku for a bit he went to the nearest cave not too far yet not too close to them. He then laid down with his giant body resting peacefully and gracefully upon the cave's cold ground.
Jay: Alright bro! Let's begin! Wait, so how do I try to comprehend now..?
Helix: [Just call out the bloodline's name in your head and send your consciousness into it slowly. If it goes in without any problem you have comprehended a small piece. If it gets rebounded you will suffer major pain and also will make no progress, goodluck sir!]
Jay: Breathe…. (sighs) Okay! Let's do this! God Of Destruction Bloodline!
Woooooooom
Swoosh
His consciousness slowly entered the bloodline and was instantly met with a chaotic force of restriction. His brain convulsed in pain as cold sweat covered his entire figure.
Jay: ARGGGGGHHH!! FUCKKKKK!!!
In only a few moments he was rebounded by the force and tortured after retreating. Blood dripped from his eyes and ears yet he still remained in his position as he once again indulged himself in the bloodline.
A few minutes later he was pushed out once again.
Jay: ARGHHHH!!!
[After an entire hour]
Jay: ARRRRRGH!!
Jay: OWWWWWWWW!!
Jay: …
Silence.
Jay was laying on the ground, eyes bloodshot, ears, nose and mouth oozing out blood. He was broken. Mentally broken beyond normal repair.
Helix: [Activating system healing! Healing process has begun]
[Healing has progressed by 25%]
[Healing has progressed by 45%]
[Healing has progressed by 68%]
[Healing has progressed by 79%]
[Healing has progressed by 96%]
[Healing has progressed by by 100%]
Helix: [Healing has been completed! Reforming host's brain cells and brain! Process has been completed! Host is required to rest for a full three days before continuing!]
Jay: (GASP) Hah… hah…. Hah… Wh-what happened?!
Helix: [Host was hanging onto life by only a thin thread so I healed you!]
Jay: Right… (sigh) I'm too arrogant to think that comprehending even a small amount of a god's bloodline is easy, much less a God Of Destruction's own…
Helix: [Cheer up sir! After I healed you, your consciousness has strengthened! Rest for three days and try again, I'm sure you'll achieve it by then!]
Jay: (Sighs) Alright..
[3 days later]
Jay sat in the cave with his eyes closed. He was sweating profusely while trying his hardest to comprehend the god bloodline.
A sharp pain was then felt by him and when he was preparing for the mental torture he felt nothing.
However before he could even open his eyes to inspect the situation a destructive energy belonging to only the gods ripped out of his body.
The trees shook and the earth cracked. Suddenly, the entire world began to tremble. The people all over the world began to panic as buildings crumbled, fissures appeared and ravines tore open.
[In an unknown island]
???: This energy...! Even the reaction is on point with it! Rose, contact the others immediately!!
Rose: Understood, your majesty!
[In a darkened palace]
???: Do you feel it...? The world is kneeling before the source's energy. Another one has risen.
???: Mn. How troublesome.
[Back to Jay's side]
The cave swallowing Jay blew into grounded dust. Tora, Sven and Miku felt the heaven defying natural disasters and couldn't help but shudder.
They gazed frighteningly towards Jay's location. Miku even started to cry thinking something bad was going to happen to her dad.

"WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING-"
WONG~
All of a sudden a starry whirlpool appeared above Jay. An unrestrained suction force ripped out of it and sucked in Jay's entire being into it. The moment Jay disappeared the world was finally returned it's peace.
From the distance Miku, Sven and Tora witnessedwhat happened and instantly, despair overtook their hearts. Tora ran towards the previous location of Jay as fast as she could.
When she got there her body shook. Her eyes were widened in horror as millions of thoughts raced through her head.
Tora: W-where?! Where are you Abaddon!?
She cried out in both despair and grief drawing the attention of the little observant, Miku.
Miku: M-mommy.. where did daddy go?
Miku, seeing her future mother cry and shout for Abaddon, started to tear up as well. Her ruby red irises shone with a light of grief as her tears fell gracefully.
Tora teared up. She looked towards Sven with pleading eyes. Sven immediately understood this and disappeared with a flash.
Tora then cleaned her eyes and put on her warmest smile as she turned around and immediately comforted Miku and reassured her that her dad was safe.
Tora threw Miku onto her back and started her own search as well.
[Meanwhile in a mysterious space]
???: Urgh..! W-where am I?
???: You're here? Good! It seems I was on time!
???: W-who said that? Wait… why does that voice sound so familiar..?
???: I didn't expect us to meet so soon Jay or should I call you Abaddon Kaos?
Jay: It's you!
The space suddenly lit up and what was revealed was a milky white room with a short table and two cushions on each side.
On one side an old man white hair, silver irises and pale skin sat while sipping a cup of tea. He was looking at Jay with a serious expression.
???: Yes, it is me. The one that granted your final wish!
Jay: I-I can't believe.. Why am I here? Did I die again? A-and are you the 'Hidden Guardian'?
???: To your first question I answer no. To your second question I answer yes. Take a seat. I need to have a chat with you.
Jay: Okay!
Jay immediately sat down and gave the old man his undivided attention.
HG: "Good. Now can you tell me how in the hell you were able to even comprehend 2% of that godly bloodline?"
(AN: HG= Hidden Guardian)
Jay: W-what? But Helix said that-
HG: I know what Helix said! I was the one who gave him the order to give you confidence with that little talk!
Jay: Y-you were the one?! So that means you also gave me the system! But why?!
HG: Because you had the best potential out of all your friends! But that's beside the point! When I told Helix to say that I didn't expect you to actually comprehend even a tiny decimal of it!
HG: Just 2% of that should have taken 300 years!
HG: (sighs) Honestly…. here you are comprehending the bloodline earlier than expected bringing me so much stress... Do you even know what you've done, brat?!
HG: You have alerted the Universal Protectors and they are now searching for you!
Jay: What?! First of all don't blame me because I'm so damn talented and second what the hell even is a Universal Protector?!
HG: A Universal Protector is a god that has the ability to create, destroy and travel to other universes.
HG: They govern all the Universes in our Cluster. The world I sent you and your brothers to is a world of universe Astra which is one of the weakest universes of our Cluster.
HG: After you had comprehended that wisp of godly bloodline, you, at the same moment alerted the Universal Protectors of our Cluster which is called the Inver Cluster.
Jay: My god…. I'm bouta die.. These motherfuckers are basically stronger Xenos! My family, what's going to happen to them?!
HG: Don't worry brat. I pulled you out the moment your energy was felt by all those Universal Protectors.
HG: When I sealed it off they couldn't locate your exact location as of yet so they won't be able to find out your family's whereabouts as well.
Jay: Thank god..! But wait, what am I going to do now?!
HG: Well, I can't send you to a universe within our Cluster since the Universal Protectors of our Cluster will soon find you. I have only one option remaining.
HG: I must send you to another Cluster!
Jay: A-another Cluster?!
HG: Yep! Another Cluster indeed brat! Well, the universe of another Cluster to be precise.
HG: Since my powers are now limited I can only send you to a certain universe within that Cluster. But you needn't worry! The Cluster I'll send you to is one Cluster out of our Cluster's Universal Protectors' senses!
HG: Now the name of the Cluster you'll be sent to is called the Divine Cluster and as for the universe's name itself... well, it's called the Dragon's Sanctuary. And in order to enter this Cluster's universe you must fulfil a certain condition.
Jay: W-what condition? Ermm..! I don't care what it is, I'll do it! I can't risk dying by staying in these worlds with some god tier bosses on my ass. Tell me!
HG: You must abandon your race as a Zeriphe…
Jay: Wait what?! Why?!
HG: Well as you can probably guess just by hearing the universe's name, they only allow members of the dragon race to enter. And what I've learnt from my research is that your race is one of their many enemies...
HG: I don't know how, but somehow that universe managed to request and even convince their Cluster's Universal Protectors to alter their universe's laws to suit their likings.
HG: This change in universal laws allows the dragons of that universe to accurately discern the type of entity which chooses to enter it.
HG: To put simply, if you enter as a dragon you'll obviously be bypassed however if you enter as a foreign beast much less their enemy you'll for sure be killed. Do you understand what I mean?
Jay: So what you're saying is that… I must become a dragon otherwise I die..?
HG: (sighs) Yes.. Look I know it may be-
Jay: I accept!
HG: I know It'll be ha- say what now?
Jay: I accept. Do you not understand my words?!
HG: D-damn! Aren't you going to ask me why we don't merge your race with the dragon one?
Jay: Oh yeah.. why don't you do that?
HG: It won't work.
Jay: Then why'd you make me ask!
Jay: (sighs) Forget it. Now that we know that merging isn't an option let's have me reborn as a dragon!
HG: (sighs) You're hopeless you know that?
Jay: Shaddup! Let's begin!
HG: Now, Now! Calm down. Since you haven't become a God Of Destruction as of yet your race is still that of a normal Zeriphe.
HG: But now that you've comprehended 2% of the godly bloodline your cells began to change and mutate.
HG: So in order to change your main race to a dragon's we'll have to seperate your cells. It's going to be extremely painful. It may take a couple thousand years… are you ready?
Jay: Pause! Run it back old man! You said a couple thousand?! Motherfucker my woman and the rest of my family would definitely be turned to bones by then!
Jay: So what the hell do you mean by a couple thousand?!
HG: Brat relax! Time flows differently within this hidden space. An entire year in your world is a thousand years here!
Jay: Woah..... this is too damn overpowered! It's basically a god tier Hyperbolic time Chamber! Too cool!
HG: Enough of the chitchat! Let's begin.
Fwoosh
Jay who was still in his beast form was suddenly thrown into the air by a mysterious force.
Then a black web like substance appeared from the ground and walls and instantly wrapped around his body in a black cocoon.
Jay didn't struggle, he only held a determined gaze.
HG: Goodluck!"
The Hidden Guardian shouted before waving his hands through the air.
Jay: ARRGHHH!!!!!!
A bloodcurdling scream bellowed out as a bright light cascaded the entire cocoon. Soon, black colored specs of light started coming out from the cocoon, stacking up ever so slowly.
After 1000 years the specs of light stacked up to over seven million and continued its insane reproduction. Three thousand years later the specs of light now had a total amount of four billion!
[2000 more years later]
Trillions of dark and blackish colored lights filled the atmosphere as the cocoon that held Jay crumbled.
It then revealed Jay still in his monster form floating about simply devoid of any sanity.
He laughed foolishly like a new born child but before he could even finish his silly act his body was blown to pieces. Chunks of meat and flesh painted the walls as they made a 'splat' sound with every passing second.
A giant black colored soul was then revealed. It radiated a beastly aura that tried its absolute hardest to supress the heavens.
The Hidden Guardian breathed out a breath in relief seeing his soul still as strong as ever and began the process of changing races.
The Hidden Guardian clenched his airborne hands and almost immediately a purple energy beamed out and invaded the afloat soul beginning its process of corrosion.
The soul then expanded to over 50m wide in diameter before exploding into fine cosmic dust.
A white mist then gathered at the palms of his hands. He then sighed happily and said, "So far so good. Now that I have removed your consciousness It's time to reincarnate your soul into that of a dragon's.. I hope all goes well."
The Hidden Guardian took the white mist and placed it into a special kind of ring. After having done that he shook his hands as golden rings appeared all over his arms.
His silver eyes glowed with a brilliant light as he began chanting incantations.
HG: Heed my call universe for I am the God Of Reincarnation! I hereby grant this young and pitiful soul a new life. A life of glory and kingliness. I who bend the laws of the universe declares that this soul is to be reincarnated as a dragon!
DOOM DOOM DOOM
Druming boomed out within the room and grew louder as they threatened to ring throughout the universe.
The Hidden Guardian immediately set up twenty barriers to trap the sound within. A dark purplish light swam across the air as fine particles of the same color merged together with the trillions of blackish colored specs of light.
Within only a few moments a humongous purple colored soul bigger than even the previous one appeared.
The cocoon once again returned and swallowed the soul. The Hidden Guardian was way beyond tired but he still pushed through.
[5 thousand years later]
Within the milky white room a black cocoon rotated while giving off a tyrannical aura belonging to those of the dragon race.
In front of it was a man wearing a white robe with milky white hair tied up into a bun followed by his long beard and silver irises which evidently complemented his style.
The cocoon spun for about five minutes before it started to quake with a tyrannical force!
BOOM BOOM BOOM
Explosions rippled out as cracks formed on the surface of the cocoon. With a sonic boom the cocoon finally crumbled as a purple light overtook it's place. The light began to expand and soon it's height reached over 100m.
HG: Damn! Expand!
As the Hidden Guardian shouted that, the room churned and stretched before it expanded into a 600m tall and wide one that perfectly trapped the light inside. The light continued to grow and finally its size stopped at 300m tall.
The purple light rapidly diminished and what was revealed was bone chilling to the max. A 300m tall blackish purplish western dragon stood there with a vicious snarl. It had 4 wings with a span of over 300m and 8 horns on its head. Two being on top and three each being on both sides of it's massive head. Each of its wings held dark purple swirling tribal marks that glowed with a beautiful luminance seemingly unmatched.
Helix: [Congratulations sir, your cultivation has increased to the 1st rank of the Mythical Realm! You have unlocked a forbidden element after reaching the Mythical Realm-]
Jay: ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR
HG: HAHAHA! Look at you getting fierce little boy! Time for you to regain your reason!
VWOOM
BOOOOOOOOOOOOM
TO BE CONTINUED!!
