[ You're really this grateful?]

Zar dramatically held his hands to his chest. "Of course! If you had unsealed my realm from the start—I would've died from social death!"

[ If you are really thankful then kneel in front of me and say loudly~ I am A big Smart A** ]

Zar ignored the jab, wiping away his nonexistent tears before shifting his focus. "Anyway, show me how my realm has updated. I need to know what changed."

A moment later, a purple interface appeared in front of him. Zar blinked in surprise, crossing his arms as he turned his gaze toward the System.

"System… why do you keep changing the color of these interfaces?" he asked in a deadpan tone.

There was silence. Then, out of nowhere, Zar felt a sudden, phantom-like smack on the back of his head.

["Mind your own business."]

"..."

Zar twitched. He decided to let it go for now and turned back to the interface displayed before him.

[Status Interface]

Title: Master of Multiverse 9008

Realm: Multiversal God [97% Sealed (1% Lost)]

Authority: Presence of Supreme (98%)

Innate Talent: Awakening (Estimated: 2 months)

True Form: ?? (Processing…)

---

Zar's eyes twitched as he absorbed the information. "...What the hell is this?"

After a few seconds of processing, he took a deep breath and politely asked, "System, would you care to explain?"

There was a beat of silence. Then—

["Huh?! You're talking politely to me? SUS."]

Zar's eyebrow twitched violently. Just ignore it, just ignore it…

Letting out a sigh, he refrained from responding and simply waited for the explanation. The System, adopting a somewhat teacher-like tone, finally began.

["First of all, congratulations on unsealing 3% of your realm! It's not much, but at least you haven't obliterated the your image by sneezing yet in front of others."]

Zar deadpanned. "...Not funny."

["Secondly, the 1% loss—yeah, that was me. I took it as payment for reviving Nyxara. But don't worry! You'll recover that before you leave this multiverse."]

Zar blinked. "Wait, so my power literally acts as a currency?"

["For certain things, yes. You're lucky I didn't charge you extra. Good deals are rare these days."]

Zar rolled his eyes but remained silent.

["Now, onto your authority—98% of the 'Presence of Supreme' has been unlocked. That's your own progress, nothing to do with me."]

Zar raised an eyebrow. "Wait… I thought that was your doing?"

["Bruh. Do you really think I'd waste my energy helping you flex? That's your effort, not mine."]

"...Fair."

Zar then focused on the 'Innate Talent – Awakening' part. "Two months… Why not now?"

["Because it's directly linked to your realm's unsealing. The moment it's fully unsealed, your true form will also be unlocked."]

Zar shivered for some reason at the way the System said that last part. "...Why did you say that in such a creepy way?"

["No reason."]

"...Right."

Letting out another deep sigh, Zar finally set these thoughts aside. "Alright, I should check on Eterna and Nyxara. I'm sure things have settled down by now."

Meanwhile, back in the Infernal Realm

Nyxara fortress…

Silence. An awkward, suffocating silence lingered between the two sisters as they stood face to face.

After a long moment, Nyxara's voice broke the quiet.

"...I'm sorry, Sis."

Her tone was barely above a whisper, carrying the weight of guilt that had been festering for far too long.

Eterna, without hesitation, suddenly hugged her. "It's not your fault…"

Nyxara's body stiffened at first, but then, slowly, she hugged her sister back. In the next moment, she pulled Eterna into her consciousness.

---

A vast, incomplete world stretched before her, its foundations unstable, its skies fragmented. The colors of reality bled into each other—hues of deep purple and void-like black twisting into swirls, creating an eerie landscape that defied logic.

Nyxara stood at the heart of this realm, observing the chaotic scenery with curiosity and confusion. She had never seen a place like this before—a realm in the process of being born yet strangely intertwined with something… foreign.

A thick, mist-like energy loomed in the distance, pulsing erratically like a wound that refused to heal. The ground beneath her feet cracked and shifted, sometimes solid, sometimes turning into liquid for mere moments before stabilizing again.

She didn't know why, but something about this place called to her.

It wasn't supposed to exist.

Nyxara extended her senses and felt the unmistakable presence of the multiverse itself—not as a sentient being but as a vast cosmic force attempting to correct an error.

Her eyes widened slightly.

"The multiverse… is trying to erase this realm?"

She turned her gaze towards the flickering distortion in the distance. A narrow pathway, almost like a tear in space, connected this forming world to somewhere else—somewhere beyond the reach of this multiverse.

Nyxara had encountered countless unstable realms before, but never one like this. The structure was incomplete, yet an outside force had influenced its formation.

Cautiously, she moved forward. The realm seemed to react to her presence, trembling slightly with each step she took.

"Strange…"

For some reason, she felt that she shouldn't be here.

But before she could turn back—

A voice, faint yet chilling, whispered from the distorted pathway.

"You… have come…"

Nyxara's body tensed immediately, instincts screaming at her.

Something wrong was here.

She turned swiftly to leave.

But the moment she took a step back—

Her vision blurred. The world twisted.

And then—darkness.
