Re-Awakened :I Ascend as an SSS-Ranked Dragon Summoner Chapter 880

Noah encounters One, who has dramatically aged and matured since their last meeting. One reveals he can manipulate time and chose to grow after no longer needing to hide. They discuss their differing philosophies on power and suffering, with Noah asserting that his hardships have given him a greater understanding of value, while One claims they are fundamentally similar despite their different paths. Storm appears, reacting aggressively to One, but Noah calms him. One claims the planet they are on is his and that Noah intruded upon his domain. He then reveals that Arthur, the "manufacturer" of beings like him, was defeated and humiliated by Noah and a lightning-wielding boy, a pivotal event that shaped One's understanding of power and 'gods.' Noah counters that One is merely repeating Arthur's words and is a 'recording' rather than a true successor.
