The protagonist learns of a mysterious palace connected to the Generator emblem and embarks on a journey to find it, summoning a powerful phoenix to traverse the void. Lyrate reveals her deep desire to live a life of her own choosing, independent of being a summon, motivating the protagonist further.

While I was rushing toward the ruins, Aurora, along with my other summons Ash and Silver, had already arrived outside one of the Eternal’s vassal universes, accompanied by three Demi-Gods from the Prime Universe, the Dragon Sovereign, the Feran Sovereign, and the Essari Sovereign.

The universe before them was called Oserem, a vast universe that had once been home to countless civilizations before falling under the control of the Eternals. From the outside, it looked almost peaceful, its enormous cosmic barrier shimmering faintly against the darkness of the void, but Aurora knew better than to trust appearances.

Beneath that barrier existed an entire population that had been absorbed into the Eternal order, and somewhere within it were the Demi-Gods they had come to hunt.

The six figures remained suspended in the void, staring at the distant universe. Aurora stood at the front of the group, her hair flowing freely around her as countless strands of lightning flickered across her body. Behind her, Ash remained unusually quiet, his aura spreading through the surrounding void, while Silver’s wings reflected the distant light of Oserem’s protective barrier.

The Essari Sovereign finally broke the silence.

"Are we really doing this?"

Aurora glanced over her shoulder.

The Sovereign’s expression remained serious as he stared at the enormous universe before them.

"I’m not questioning the order. I’m questioning whether this is really the right time. We are six Demi-Gods entering an Eternal-controlled universe without knowing how many of them are waiting inside. If they discover us before we find them, this could easily turn into a suicide mission."

A faint smile appeared on Aurora’s lips.

"Sovereign, are you insulting me?"

The Essari Sovereign immediately looked toward her.

"I wouldn’t dare."

The Essari Sovereign said nothing, but her expression softened as she recalled what had happened before they came here. When Aurora had first approached Amun with the order of the Sovereign Origin, she had expected the matter to be handled differently.

Instead, Amun had assigned the mission to Aurora and sent the Dragon and Feran Sovereigns along with her. At the time, none of them had been particularly convinced that Aurora should be leading the operation. She was powerful, certainly, but taking command of three Sovereigns and venturing into an Eternal vassal universe was no small responsibility.

That doubt had lasted exactly until their first test.

The three of them had joined forces against Aurora, intending to determine whether she truly possessed the strength to command the mission. The Essari Sovereign still remembered the battle clearly. Aurora had fought them three against one and defeated all three of them within seven moves.

What had frightened her most was not the overwhelming lightning that filled the battlefield, nor the sheer destructive force behind Aurora’s attacks, but the precision with which she controlled it. Every bolt moved exactly where Aurora wanted, changing direction in the middle of an attack and weaving between their defenses as though the lightning itself possessed eyes.

The Essari Sovereign had faced countless powerful beings throughout her life, but she had rarely encountered someone whose control over an Origin was so complete.

Now, as she looked at Aurora standing calmly before the sealed Eternal universe, she found herself wondering why she had ever doubted the decision.

Perhaps Amun had known exactly what he was doing when he placed Aurora in command.

Aurora turned her attention back toward Oserem, and the playful edge disappeared from her expression.

"Sovereign Origin entrusted me with this responsibility, and I intend to fulfill it properly. I didn’t bring you here so that you could throw your lives away." Her eyes swept across the group. "Every one of you is coming back alive."

The Dragon Sovereign gave a low chuckle. "That’s reassuring."

"It should be," Aurora replied. "Because I mean it."

The Feran Sovereign looked toward the barrier surrounding Oserem. "Then what is our first move?"

Aurora raised one hand, and a miniature projection of the universe appeared before them, formed from condensed lightning. Several layers of energy immediately became visible around the projection, revealing the enormous defensive structure surrounding the universe.

"There are two things we need to accomplish before we enter. First, we seal this universe from the outside. No message leaves Oserem, no distress signal reaches the other vassal universes, and nothing inside should be able to communicate with the Eternal forces beyond this barrier."

Her fingers moved across the projection, and several points around the universe began glowing.

"Ash, that will be yours."

Ash’s crimson eyes narrowed as he studied the locations she had marked.

"You want a complete isolation formation?"

"Exactly. Make it strong enough that even a High Demi-God cannot casually break through it. If they realize what is happening, we lose the advantage of surprise."

Ash nodded once. "I’ll handle it."

Aurora then looked toward Silver and the Dragon Sovereign.

"Once the universe is sealed, you two will open our passage through its defensive wall."

Silver spread his wings slightly, producing a deep metallic hum that travelled through the void.

"Direct breach?"

"Not exactly." Aurora shook her head. "I don’t want the entire universe knowing we’ve arrived before we even enter. Find the weakest point in their protection and create a controlled passage. Keep the disturbance as small as possible."

The Dragon Sovereign smiled, revealing sharp teeth.

"And after we get inside?"

Aurora’s smile returned.

"Then we hunt."

The Essari Sovereign’s expression hardened as he looked at the projection.

"Do we know how many Demi-Gods are inside?"

"No."

"And their locations?"

"Nope."

"Then we’re searching blind."

Aurora’s lightning intensified around her body.

"Not completely."

She closed her hand, causing the projection to disappear.

"We know they are here. That’s enough."

For a moment, nobody spoke. Then Ash stepped forward.

Gold soul force spilled from beneath his feet and spread outward, slowly swallowing the surrounding void. It continued expanding until it formed an enormous wall around the outer boundary of the universe.

The Dragon Sovereign watched the phenomenon with interest.

"Sealing Authority?"

Silver glanced toward him.

"You’re only noticing now?"

A faint laugh escaped the Dragon Sovereign as Ash continued strengthening the seal.

Within moments, the surrounding void had become unnaturally quiet. Even the faint fluctuations produced by the distant universe seemed to disappear as the isolation field settled into place.

Aurora watched Ash work before turning toward Silver and the Dragon Sovereign.

"Your turn."

Silver’s enormous wings opened completely.

A surge of spatial force erupted from his body as countless golden runes appeared across his metallic feathers. At the same time, the Dragon Sovereign released his own Origin, and the surrounding void began trembling beneath the weight of his power.

The two Demi-Gods moved toward the enormous barrier.

Aurora remained behind them with the Feran and Essari Sovereigns, watching as the first cracks began forming across the universe’s protective wall.
