Riona's return
Important information, reader.
The continent known as the "Draeevil continent" is the fourth continent that has yet to be found. It is also the location where the sun created the dragevil species.
The Creator realm is located on the tenth floor of a tower that the Sun created in the center of the Draeervil continent. This is situated at the top of the tower and is entirely a separate realm where the sun alone controls things like time, death, who can enter or exit, etc.
Due to the small fraction of the inner universal core in the sun's body, the sun's body naturally possesses universal energy.
Many thanks. Enjoy the story, reader, now.

Rufus, at present, was experiencing a mystical phenomenon as he heard the voice of the sun echoing throughout the room, almost as if the air itself were speaking the words of the sun.
The voice emanating from the sun is majestic in its own right, but hearing it can provide a sense of calm to the listener.
Rufus, who had witnessed such numerous paranormal occurrences that could never have been caused by humans, finally spoke out with a look of disbelief on his face.
"O great divine being, you were so close, yet I did not recognize you," said Rufus, and he lowered his gaze.
Rufus again starts to speak with an embarrassed tone of voice.
"I am so foolish. Please forgive my ignorance, Lord.
But before the sun could give his reply to Rufus, abruptly, two huge portals showed up on either side of the sun, impeding the daylight from the window from going into the house.
From the first entrance, which is on the right half of the sun, enters a tremendously massive man with a hatchet in one hand, wearing fully-covered dark red armor, and having the aura that can rule any battle field.
From the second entrance, which is on the left half of the sun, another man shows up, who is of similar height to the other man but has a more stately aura around him.
Behind this man, a lady who is wearing a completely dark Victorian-style maid uniform without frills likewise goes into the house.
The lady that entered the house was the most gorgeous lady that Rufus had seen during all his years; it was to the point that he momentarily failed to remember what was happening before him, only to come to sense when the woman coldly gazed at him.
All the individuals are situated behind the sun and kneel down on their spots to greet the sun in unison.
"We greet the absolute ruler and the founder of the Dragevils."
Hearing this, the sun, without turning his head, spoke with a commanding tone that had a certain amount of pressure behind it.
"AT EASE."
Hearing the command, the trio immediately stood up.
"So, what do you all think about this kid?" asked the sun with the same authoritative tone in his voice, pointing towards Rufus, who was in the same kneeling-down position but surely not in good condition due to the pressure emitted by those people before him.
"God, what an idiot he is!" This is the first thing the enormous man has said.
"Lord, this child was so near you, yet he can't grasp the greatness of you. He is not worthy of your attention." The warrior spoke, making a clicking sound with his tongue.
"Indeed, you are correct, Parayx! These regressive species are arranged in the lower part of the established pecking order of this universe, yet they can't perceive the top presence of this order.
I figure not every person can be like you in your species. Right, Riona?" said the other man,with a plain face, just as he essentially adjusted his glasses with his hand.
"Much thanks to you for your commendation, sir IIspir; it was my karma to meet my lord and be acknowledged by him." said the woman with a plain face; however, in the event that one notices her face intently, there is a slight stirred demeanor all over, and she is quickly looking at the sun every once in a while from the edge of her eyes.
"Haaa!! Try not to lower yourself, Riona. After all, you are chosen by our ruler," said the iipsir with a touch of happy full articulation.
Hearing this, Sun turns his head slightly and notices the riona.
"You have become stronger." Sun said this joyfully before turning back to meet IIspir and Parayx.
"I know you're disappointed in him, Parayx and IIspir, but I want to think well of him, so help him get ready and grow stronger, just like our Riana here." He took a moment to look at her before.
"To help you both with this assignment, the pace of time that will be elapsing in my domain will again go back to multiple times faster, like when you both trained Riona.
You will both be given one month, in terms of the outside world's time period, and 10 years of time in my domain.
Thus, bring him back before then, since there is some place where he must be present soon.
Understand?" Sun inquired.
Parayx and IIspir promptly bowed their bodies to extend their regard to the sun's words, said "Yes, ruler," and strolled towards Rufus.
"Be thankful that the ruler has taken an interest in you, who are such a quitter. Dedicate yourself to becoming stronger, to be used by the ruler." Said Parayx.
"Parayx, let go. We should not sit around idly talking here. Get him, and we should get back to the creator domain." I expressed my interest in Parayx while strolling towards the transportation portal.
And after that, they both left the gate with Rufus, leaving Riona behind, as they knew that Sun might have another task for her, as he didn't order her to return with them.
Sun, seeing the statue of Parayx leave the portal, turned around, sat down on the nearby chair, and gestured for Riona to come forward.
In response to that, Riona immediately moved in front of the sun and kneeled down before him.
Now in the room, only the sun and Riona were present.

Some moments before.
"Sir, who are you? Is what I think correct? Heal me, Lord. Show me the truth, Lord."
(Here is the question to which I want to listen.) I said it to myself.
I immediately asked Alen to create a new skill.
(Alen, create a barrier skill and caste over the area around the house so that not a single speck of aura can be leaked outside.) Speak to her internally.
After a brief period of time, Alen replied
[Sir, done.] [You may start.]
I nodded and used my level 4 charismatic skill to solidify my aura of being a superior being in Rufus's heart and make him accept my words without question.
"Do you think you can handle the truth?" I asked Rufus in an authoritative tone of voice.
"Yes, Savior." Replied him.
I shut my eyes and inhaled deeply after that. Subsequently, I started to sense my connection with the scattered universal energy inside me that I had previously ignored.
[You are aware that the internal universal energy you are attempting to channel is unstable, correct?] asked Alen, via mental transmission, in a little bit of a worried tone.
(True, Alen I am aware of that, but as long as I use it sparingly right now, there will be no issues. Additionally, after the war with the Berus Duchy is over, I intend to stabilize it and start cultivating close doors. Thus, Alen, don't worry.) is as I internally responded to Alen.
That's what I told her, and then I released a tiny bit of this universal energy outside.
Even though I express such confidence in myself, channeling the universal energy puts a great deal of pressure on my body.
I had a feeling that I might have coughed up some blood if I had directed a bit more of this chaotic energy.
Thus, after the war, I made the decision to first stabilize this energy and then fully claim it for myself.
With that, I open my eyes. A yellow aura flashes within my pupils, and my entire body, which had been emitting a purple aura until then, begins to emit a golden aura at the same time. which, surprising enough, has both the properties of creation and destruction.
After some time had passed, Rufus said
"O great divine being, you were so close, yet I did not recognize you. I am so foolish. Please forgive my ignorance, Lord."
After hearing those words, I think he truly does view me as a god, and my plan for North has been partially realized as a result.
I therefore send a mental message to Parayx and Iipsir, telling them to come here by feeling my aura. Since they were the first to be created directly from my powers, they will be able to sense my aura if I wish for them to, even though there is a barrier erected around this area.
I sent them a message, and a few moments later, two enormous portals opened, bringing them both to my location. But along with them was someone else, and that someone was none other than Riona, the maid I had promised to take care of. Alen immediately spoke up upon seeing Riona.
[That girl now seems a bit older and stronger. Seeing her appearance, she must have broken through the rank of SS class at 30-31 years of age.
Through Ynder's memories and experiences, I was able to learn that, although one ceases aging after breaking SS rank, they will still have the appearance of the age at which they achieved that rank.
At present, she is already in the initial stage of the SSS class realm, and the quality of her cultivation core is also way better than that of Ynder.]
Listening to Alen's remark, I turn my head slightly to notice the riona.
"You have become stronger." I said this joyfully before turning towards IIspir and Parayx to meet them.
After talking with them and assigning them their task, they immediately bowed and left with Rufus through the portal they came through.
Seeing them leave, I turned back and sat on the nearby chair. I saw the Riona, who came here after completing her training in the creator realm's accelerate time flow.
One day, while I was still in Ballad, Iipsir asked me via mind transmission if I could make the creator realm's time flow faster than the original world's so that he and Parayx could train Riona there.
Giving further details of his explanation, he said that under normal circumstances, it would take her fifty years to become useful to me, but under an accelerated time flow, it could be completed in a few months.
He also told me that due to the special properties of mana, it can further shorten the time period, even in an accelerated timeline, for her to become stronger.
So, at that time, I just simply complied with his request without thinking much, but at present, I can clearly see the results before me, which he brought in just 2 months of time.
