Vilanica fell silent for a moment before looking at him with a complex expression. "Indeed, your gifts far surpass mine, and the blessings of the Source Star are abundant for you. It seems that the fortune of the entire world has coalesced around you; be grateful for this planet."
Tearing through space, this was the signature ability of a Transcendent Being. A General Rank could master the power of laws, allowing them to rip apart space at will, and with enough time, they could completely destroy a planet.
If one had enough patience, they could even take an extended period to utterly annihilate a Star!
"Perhaps," Xiar replied noncommittally. It seemed that all his gifts and luck could be attributed to the favor of the Source Star, but his origins were clearly not something the Source Star could control.
"Alright, Vilanica, I will be returning to the Source Star."
"Why?" The other looked at him in confusion, a hint of fear suddenly appearing in her eyes. "Xiar, please don't do anything foolish. Your current strength is completely insufficient to confront that ultimate weapon; it would be tantamount to suicide!"
"Don't worry. I just need to go back for a bit to complete my soul and life restoration plan. I'm not blindly arrogant enough to think I can take on that ultimate weapon," Xiar said with a shake of his head and a smile.
Peerless Royal Weapons were extremely rare; even a king could only forge one or two at most. Even the prince of the Stellar Dragon Clan did not carry one, and within the entire Phoenix Clan, only Vanny possessed such an item.
Thus, that terrifying existence that overshadowed the entire Source Star could actually only be considered a Preparatory Royal Weapon. It could deal with Transcendent Beings but posed no threat whatsoever to kings.
"That's good to hear," Vilanica sighed in relief.
Xiar had become her only hope; she could no longer enhance her own strength and had no choice but to place all her hopes on him. Naturally, she couldn't bear to watch him do something reckless.
Moreover, having accepted the world's power bestowed by the Source Star meant he could never betray it; otherwise, he would simply become the best experimental material for greedy Stellar Hunters, who might even use him to forge Peerless Royal Weapons. There was no way they would allow him to survive.
"Oh right, please return Cecilia and Moko to me; I want to take them back with me this time," Xiar said with a smile.
Cecilia and Moko had been imprisoned in a special Spatial Equipment used by Stellar Hunters to capture rare prey. He had left them there when he departed earlier.
"I've already charged them up; you don't need to worry about their safety," Vilanica said as she handed him a sphere. She then added seriously, "We World Children can freely enter the Surface World without any hindrance. You possess far too much power now; you must keep your wits about you and must not let that ultimate weapon discover you. Otherwise, you'll be in danger!"
"Yes, I understand. Then goodbye for now. Don't worry too much; by the next time we meet, I might have already advanced," Xiar said with a smile as he waved goodbye.
Without any hesitation, he arrived at the Transmission Fortress and directly used spatial teleportation to reach the inner world of the Source Star.
Here, he finally released Cecilia and his Main Totem, smiling as he said, "Sister Cecilia, you must be alright?"
"I'm fine! That woman actually helped me enhance my abilities, and now I'm already a Third-Level Spirit Master!" Cecilia said proudly.
Next to her, the round creature, being her Main Totem, had fully regained its strength and transformed into a standard Ultimate Form existence.
For the Spirit Masters of the Starry World, the First Level to Third Rank on Source Star were merely apprentices. Only Super Evolution was a crucial mark of Evolution, as it represented the fundamental Evolution of life itself.
"Oh, congratulations! But aren't you going to explain why you deceived me?" Xiar said with a hint of a smile.
Cecilia awkwardly chuckled and immediately threw her Main Totem under the bus: "It's really not my fault; it was this guy's idea to make you do free labor!"
Woo!
Moko immediately protested, not expecting to be thrown under the bus by its own master.
However, Xiar didn't really want to pursue responsibility; instead, he wrapped them in his own energy. "Alright, we'll discuss this later. Right now, we need to return."
In the next moment, the space silently cracked open and swallowed them whole.
...
In the capital of Source Nation.
A ferocious giant beast descended, its terrifying size of a thousand meters made all humans tremble before it.
The creature resembled a spider with eight legs, but each leg was over a hundred meters tall, appearing extremely slender compared to its massive body, creating an eerie sight.
However, this was a Disaster Beast, Fell, the Main Totem of the Harrison Empire Guardian!
Fell wore a magnificent outfit that looked more like that of a noble going out for leisure rather than a warrior. It floated quietly in mid-air, its voice echoing across the entire planet: "Submit or die. Your ruler is dead; do not harbor any illusions."
Beneath the monster's feet lay countless corpses of Insect Beasts, densely covering the ground and numbering in the hundreds of thousands!
Previously, countless Insect Beasts had attempted to surround it but were all slaughtered by a wave of toxic gas unleashed by Fell.
If it weren't for Fell controlling the range of the poison gas, Source City would have likely turned into a dead city by now!
"You are dreaming!"
Marcus's body suddenly expanded, transforming into a five-meter-tall giant, covered in a layer of light purple armor, his fierce face roaring in anger.
Without hesitation, he launched an attack, like an ant trying to kill a dragon.
This Empire would not allow anyone to destroy it, not even the Disaster Beast, unless they stepped over my corpse!
Boom!
A terrifying wave erupted as the massive Disaster Monster was sent flying by his punch, crashing into the distance and exploding into countless fragments!
All the soldiers and Spirit Masters watching from the city walls were stunned, completely unable to believe that his punch possessed such terrifying power, killing the Disaster Beast in one blow. It felt unreal, like a dream.
Marcus was equally dazed; even he did not expect to unleash such a horrifying attack. Then, tentatively, he threw another punch at the Empire Guardian, whose face had turned pale in an instant.
Just like the Disaster Beast, the opponent also exploded into nothingness.
His mind went blank as he stood frozen in place, utterly unable to comprehend what had just happened.
Then, a familiar figure descended from the sky and smiled, saying, "I’m back."
