Anark's massive form distorted space as Noah underwent the intense Inheritance of the Flesh, resonating with Primordial Forces in extraordinary fashion. Far away, the damaged Worlds of the Root struggled to stabilize amid repair efforts by its High Lords. Robuke and Mikela confronted the arriving Nito over his forces' late and failed support, only to be overpowered by his mysterious rotating wheel and forced into submission under his king's decree.

"THUMP!"

"THUMP!"

A powerful heartbeat resounded through the emptiness, with each throb intensifying, booming louder and more dominantly. It expanded like a stellar tempest, every pulsation packing the might to shake entire planets and split heavens apart. The fabric of existence itself appeared to shrink back from every echo.

In the midst of this spectacle loomed the enormous form of the True Primordial of the Void.

A vast event horizon, spanning thousands of kilometers, had materialized around him from the surging World Strength. It twisted both light and space, rendering his silhouette like a breathing black hole-a fusion of utter destruction and boundless eternity. Nevertheless, amid such vast power, Anark's complexion remained ghostly white.

The crown of Stars of Origin hovering over his head had also lost its luster, their glow waning as though deprived of sustenance. The colossal energy he released wasn't bolstering him. All the force he produced was pulled inward-sucked ceaselessly into his heart.

Or to be exact... into the entity inside it.

The Master of Order.

Two full weeks dragged on like this.

The emptiness stayed motionless, except for the perpetual roar of that heartbeat. Time stretched taut beneath the pressure of the event, incapable of progressing normally amid such titanic powers.

Suddenly-

Anark's eyes flew wide open.

The instant after, his heart unleashed one last thump.

"BOOM!"

It detonated like a stellar explosion.

A torrent of energy blasted in every direction, inundating the void with a surge of blazing might. Space cracked, principles warped, and being itself wavered from that one tremendous surge.

And out of that eruption of force...

A silhouette appeared.

The Crimson Exarch.

His gaze shone with insight and deep wisdom. Encircling his soul, the Flow's power merged flawlessly with the Primordial Forces, operating in flawless unity. His bond to the cosmos-and the infinite ocean of cause and effect-reached a wholly unprecedented depth.

Next, one after another...

Six Stars of Origin appeared above his brow.

They created a glowing circlet, signifying his cultivation at the ultimate pinnacle of the Archdeity Rank on the Primordial Path.

Anark's breaths grew labored.

Then they ceased completely.

The sight before him challenged all logic.

Cain's gift as a Primordial surpassed anything Anark had encountered across his whole life. It was like the Scarlet King was innately infused with Primordial Forces right into his core essence.

Despite gaining the Inheritances of Flesh and Spirit, it had required Cain decades to attain that stage.

But the Crimson Exarch vaulted there in a flash-right at the start of his ascension.

Naturally, certain elements played a role.

The Crimson Exarch's soul and Primordial Essence had already hit Late Alpha Omega Overgod Rank. The Flow's power also sharply boosted harmony with the cosmos.

Still, even accounting for that...

It fell short of justifying this miracle.

And the astonishment was set to escalate further.

Excitement pounded in the Crimson Exarch's heart, his eyes flaring with resolve and intent as he bellowed. His Neo-Angel bloodline's power burst forth, his determination stamping itself onto the universe's weave.

Shards of reality reacted.

Principles twisted.

Power converged.

And trailing him, brilliant plasma wings burst into being.

But the real marvel followed immediately.

Those fractured, remolded principles started weaving with the Stars of Origin crowning his head.

They melded.

Linked together.

And shaped something resembling a coronet.

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!"

The following moment unleashed a colossal blast of energy-so overwhelming

that it almost flung Anark's massive frame tumbling back across

the void.

Neo-Angels and Primordials shared core likenesses.

Primordials drew universal power via balance

and resonance.

Neo-Angels commanded that power via dominance

and total command.

Divergent routes.

Matching results.

Typically, merging both at once proved unfeasible.

Yet the Crimson Exarch...

He wasn't aiming to use them side by side.

He sought to unite the two lineages into one.

It was a daring pursuit-teetering on insanity.

After all, only beings like the Samara Lord had ever pulled it off. But the Crimson Exarch had mirrored it earlier, inside the Crimson World, by blending Neo-Demon and Neo-Angel within his brother's form.

And this time-

It fell to him.

Anark observed wide-eyed as Neo-Angel

and Primordial powers commenced merging.

Only then did comprehension dawn.

The Crimson Exarch hadn't pursued Primordial Inheritances

just to bolster his abilities.

No.

This formed a piece of a grander scheme.

A scheme to shatter the universe's own boundaries.

To evolve past every known order.

To craft a lineage not just ruling the pyramid's peak

But transcending it altogether.

An Apex Race.

The Crimson Exarch's grin broadened steadily as the

merger advanced, the dual racial legacies fusing into a single

cohesive whole.

Suddenly-

His eyes quivered.

And the next moment...

All collapsed.

The blend of golden plasma and Stars of Origin

shattered explosively, hurling the amassed energy outward. The void splintered from the recoil, fissures racing like shattered panes over reality.

A ruinous impact struck the Crimson Exarch.

He staggered back, spewing gouts of blood while his form

drained to pallor.

The repercussion proved ruinous.

However-

Rather than rage...

Rather than despair...

A grin stained with blood lit his features.

"Good," he rasped, voice rough yet firm. "Nothing worth fighting for comes easy. I've already taken the first step. I've begun the fusion... now it's just a matter of time and effort." Noah made no attempt to hide his words from Anark.

He merely pivoted his gaze, eyeing the True Primordial's shocked

face, a brilliant smile blooming across his own.

"I suppose," he went on, "it's time to march into the Primordial Sanctuary."

Those words jolted Anark from his stupor.

The disbelief in his gaze evaporated, supplanted by keen alertness and determination.

Despite lingering unease from the display, he refused to let it derail his goal.

The Primordial Sanctuary stood apart from all other realms-a stronghold capable of clinching the war decisively.

And with Noah now assuming leadership of the

alliance...

Anark pressed forward with total certainty.

With ironclad resolve.

He nodded once.

"Let's go."
