Rebirth: Tyrant's New Reality

Arkhen also used reality motes to forcefully teleport at the plaza and saw that bitch hanging at the rope while tons of people gathered below.

'Now, let's wait for her father to arrive so I can give a new city lord to this city,' Arkhen thought as he was preparing a power and fast attack to one-shot a powerhouse at the 5th ring power base.

A minute later, a powerful and furious aura could be seen zooming toward the plaza.

"My daughter! W-Who? Who did this?!"

Everyone heard the wrathful voice even before seeing the person.

*swoosh!*

The city lord arrived with red eyes as he shouted and quickly covered his daughter with an energy veil before arriving there.

"Who did this?! Show yourself!"

'Velshi, activate the bomb.'

The city had just freed her daughter when her head burst like a watermelon.

*WAAA!*

The public at the plaza was shocked as a huge uproar started.

On the other hand, the city lord's gaze blanked. 'My daughter…'

'Is this retribution for what we have done?'

Until now, the city lord didn't believe in god. He was the strongest in this city and could do whatever he wanted. He taught his daughter the same thing, and even though he knew the secret of his daughter's beauty, he didn't care.

But he liked to keep his image and always erased every trace of his and his daughter's evil.

Alas…

*Swoosh!*

A dreadful palm-sized knife filled with utterly destructive power shot toward the city lord!

It was a dark red knight with black motes inside and a white flame border outside with red sparks.

Arkhen had used enough of his energy and skills in that knife to kill that 5th ring city lord, who was distracted and devastated by the loss of his daughter.

Before he registered the threat, the knife was already just 0.01 seconds away from him.

He couldn't dodge, and his mind quickly accepted the despair.

*Booom!*

His head also burst, followed by his body.

"W-What is going on?!"

"City lord and his daughter are dead…."

One of the 5th ring powerhouses with a black beard floating there shook his head and sighed, "Daughter and father are gone, leaving the mother behind."

"Huh?"

The partner of that black beard powerhouse was confused at the sudden thing his partner said.

"What, huh? I am going to comfort that mother now. Goodbye."

…

Arkhen saw the misty window with words and left the city according to it.

After leaving the city, he saw a door there and entered inside as he arrived at the 3rd trial.

This trial's location was strange.

It was like hell!

The ground was cracked with lava flowing below it. Huge lavatic mountains are far away and dark clouds permeate the sky.

A second later, a misty window appeared with words.

[ Survive for one hour. If you get killed, you will be disqualified. ]

"Nice."

Arkhen grinned after reading as trials like these were easy and exciting for him.

Short afterward, demonic creatures started spewing with red eyes and bloodthirst overflowing from them.

'Wow… All of them are 5th ring equivalent.'

All fifteen demonic creatures were as powerful as 5th-ring powerhouses!

Arkhen cracked his knuckles with a devilish grin as he decided to go all out for the first time after his recent big powerup.

First, he created nine clones, and then… Arkhen and his clones used the skill Demonic Overlord's Descent!

[ Demonic Overlord's Descent ]

[ -Rank: Ex+ ]

[ -Affinity: Demonic ]

[ -Cost: 10% of your Primal Energy]

[ -Effect: Conjures a demonic avatar for you to command and unleash devastating demonic attacks. ]

[ -Demonic Overlord Avatar's abilities: Impurity Barrage, Demonic Prison, Baal's Gaze. ]

[ -Note: Demonic Avatar's stats are 100% of your stats, including EP]

Arkhen got this skill from Doom Tower, and it would automatically upgrade to the same class as the realm he ascended and his current power base.

As such, ten Arkhens and ten Demonic Overlords with the same stats as Arkhen appeared!

There was no force stronger than that!

*Booom!*

In just one second in which all Arkhen's hurled Piercing Rain Blades of Nightmare Blood Flame and all Demonic Overlords unleashed Impurity Barrage, all demonic creatures died!

But a second later, twenty more demonic foes spawned!

…

Arkhen was pushed to the limit in this one hour of constant battle, and got many ideas and enlightenment regarding skills and how to use his other powers like affinity and superpowers.

After passing the 3rd trial, Arkhen went to the 4th and final trial.

[ This is the last trial before the final selection stage. ]

[ In this trial, you will have to comprehend a scroll. You have five days to do it. Good luck. ]

Arkhen walked into the ancient hall and saw a scroll on a pedestal at the center.

After arriving there, he picked up the scroll and opened it.

When he saw the words inside, something mysterious happened.

He didn't know the language and couldn't read the symbols or whatever it was on the scroll's headline.

But, despite not understanding it before it, he actually knew what those words and symbols meant!

Nightfall Divine Art!

'Interesting…'

…

While Arkhen sat down and started comprehending the scroll, trouble was approaching those apex beings of Nine Realms world who had gone to Battle Spirit world!

Since all of them separated and went to different places, they couldn't contact each other as they could before.

Five of them were already killed, but others didn't know about that.

They didn't know that they were being hunted!

Old man Shiron also didn't know that the enemy knew about how he sent those beings to Battle Spirit world!

He was investigating the 1st realm at the moment because he knew it would be destroyed soon.

'I can't prevent its destruction, but I have to prevent them from getting the realm core…' Shiron thought as he spread his soul sense.

However, he soon felt a familiar presence and turned somber.

"Old fart Shiron… hahaha, so you are still alive?"

General Kunik!

On top of a white cloud where Shiron hid there while hiding his presence and becoming invisible, Kunik appeared and called out.

Shiron deactivated his power and became visible as he narrowed his eyes at Kunik, "Kunik…."
