The Glorious Evolution Chapter 451: Universal Impossibility.

Levi's demeanor turned frosty as he advanced, his grip tightening on the chained bracelets and collar, yanking them away from the swirling mist. The golden accouterments blazed with the ferocity of the sun, intent on incinerating him – another formidable defense. Yet, Levi merely scoffed, absorbing the unleashed solar flares through his palms as if they were inconsequential. In truth, the more flames he absorbed, the more his visage began to mirror that of a true Radian.

Sensing its protection, the Omnithar was instantly relieved, its resolve to abandon ship hardening. It solidified the luminous symbols, swiftly impelling them into the Lantern, which had, by then, fractured into an intricate lattice of interconnected, ethereal green inscriptions. This structure resembled a five-dimensional cubic formation, with lines of inscriptions flowing ceaselessly. However, the moment the Omnithar's inscriptional essence breached the structure, it was embraced with open arms, creating distinct spatial domains for its fusion.

“The Genie’s wish aligns with the Universe’s Will… its authority is unchallenged,” Ash’Kral mused internally, observing the final symbol vanish. Levi remained, clutching the golden bracelets and collar firmly in both hands, so radiant he appeared as a genuine, blinding star, illuminating thousands of kilometers around his domain.

Without pause, Levi de-summoned the Lantern before it could fully reform. Subsequently, he deposited the bracelets into his dimensional wallet, sealing them within the deepest recesses of Alzhukar’s dimensional storage to evade any detection. Only then did he elevate his gaze and await the repercussions in stoic silence. He anticipated the fallout from his unholy transgression against the universe's most potent system—an act that would make even Tier 9 powerhouses falter for their own safety.

Yet, Levi waited, and waited… but nothing transpired. Not even a single notification confirmed the successful granting of his wish. This prompted Levi to access his dimensional profile and scrutinize the details of his titles. To his astonishment, he discovered that the title, 'The Chosen One,' still glowed, implying an unfulfilled wish accompanying it.

“Is this the glitch?” The Titan raised an eyebrow. “After the Genie is released, the system restarts the wish because it lacks the subsequent steps after the event occurred?”

“I never imagined the system would self-correct in this manner, but yes,” Ash’Kral affirmed with a nod.

“Does this imply I can still initiate my wish as if nothing transpired?” Levi questioned, a sense of unease settling upon him. He was not mistaken.

“Not a chance… You must await the wish’s natural expiration,” Ash’Kral cautioned. “The instant you attempt a second wish, the system will dispatch another Omnithar Genie, triggering an alert within the Administration. It will notify them of its intention to dispatch the Genie.”

Upon hearing this, Levi grasped the implications. He realized that pursuing a second wish would effectively broadcast his transgression to the Administration, who, by examining the records, would immediately discover his possession of a different Omnithar Genie.

Conversely, if he allowed the system to adhere to its established protocol, even at the cost of a wish, his predicament would remain concealed in plain sight. The system would continue functioning normally, and the Administration would remain oblivious, as they were not informed of the glitch. The only way to uncover it would be through active investigation.

Even the Genie’s disappearance would go unnoticed, as the entirety of the Genie Wish System was managed autonomously by Nocturn’s System. The System only communicated its intended actions to the Administration for record-keeping purposes.

“So, as long as he refrains from using the wish… he will be in the clear within three days?” The Titan narrowed his eyes, a flicker of doubt crossing his features. “I’m uncertain… something feels amiss. I comprehend that everything proceeded according to plan, yet we are still contending with Nocturn’s Administration…”

“You are overthinking it, Old Bark,” Ash’Kral countered, shaking his head. “If Nocturn’s Administration had discovered this, Levi would have found himself imprisoned before he even knew it, awaiting his judgment. Despite its omnipotence, it remains heavily reliant on Nocturn and the System. If the system faltered, its omnipotence was compromised.”

“As for Nocturn? Well…”

Ash’Kral manifested and settled himself on Levi’s shoulder. His fox-like visage remained largely unchanged by Levi’s recent advancements, with the sole additions being an increased size and an ethereal green halo connecting his shoulders. The remaining transformations were internal, mirroring Levi’s own. He then grinned broadly, playfully waving a paw in front of the vibrant void. “Just smile and wave.”

Levi’s overwhelming pride rebelled against participating in such a ludicrous charade. However, his heart suddenly tightened for no discernible reason, as if ensnared in an unseen grip.

Before he could even react, the world of frequencies he knew shattered, replaced by an abyss of darkness, a familiar void.

Yet, within the Sun Form, Levi felt no hint of dread or unease, as if such emotions were beyond him. He faced the encroaching darkness with his usual indifference. "If you wish for my demise, then execute it swiftly. Cease this spectacle; it is beneath both of us... Nocturn."

Abruptly, the vibrant mists of the Boundless Expanse began to writhe and transform. Hues of vivid purple, deep azure, and electric green swirled in unison, coalescing against the inky blackness stretching to the horizon.

Gradually, these ethereal gases sculpted themselves into two immense, arching lines, spanning the distance like a celestial formation, only to resolve into a colossal, almost amused mouth. Its grin was so vast it seemed capable of engulfing an entire solar system.

The expression wasn't one of threat, but rather of silent, cosmic irony. The misty smile lingered in the void, etched into the very fabric of nothingness, suggesting the entity overseeing this realm acknowledged Levi’s defiance with an unseen, knowing gaze.

Levi's own stoic composure faltered the moment his pitch-black world was fractured by colors alien to his Harmonic Spine, sight, or any of his senses. These colors mirrored the immense smirk adorning the horizon, miraculously granting Levi vision amidst the darkness.

Alas, before he could fully absorb the stunning panorama, the darkness reclaimed its dominion, devouring the colors and yanking him back to his reality. The misty smirk then vanished as if it had never materialized, consigning the void to its profound silence.

As Levi grappled with the fleeting return of his sight, a peculiar, mirthful voice echoed within Ash’Kral’s consciousness. "Ash... While I respect your determination, we both know your endeavors with the Equilibrium of Chaos are futile. Even a pet Omnithar Genie won't alter the inevitable outcome."

Ash’Kral responded with a mere scoff, his gaze unwavering from the void. "Nocturn... I am aware you've persistently observed my past failures, but this instance is fundamentally different. Levi possesses a unique quality, and you are privy to that truth."

Ash’Kral harbored no apprehension regarding Nocturn, as this was not their initial discourse concerning the Equilibrium of Chaos. Indeed, how could Levi or Ash’Kral’s prior associates evade Nocturn’s all-seeing detection?

They might circumvent the system by utilizing a singular Seed ID for contract signing, but Nocturn perceived and comprehended everything, perpetually. Ash’Kral remained uncertain why Nocturn never intervened, though he surmised it was for entertainment. The very quest to solve the Three-Body Problem was classified as a Universal Impossibility, a designation bestowed by beings like Nocturn himself.

It became apparent that Ash'Kral's suspicion was accurate. "Perhaps... the young one is exceptional, demonstrating impressive progress in managing the Three Origin Seeds. However," Nocturn's tone shifted to one of calm finality, "you understand the persistent crux of the issue has always been the merger..."

He paused, then delivered a lingering, ominous pronouncement. "No entity has yet emerged, nor will one, capable of defying the Universe's Will. This is a truth you comprehend more profoundly than any other... Ash."
