The Supreme Wills of the Nightmare World have fallen, and the Abyss Will has retreated after failing to secure key artifacts. Levi secures the Blood and Flesh Palace for Nora, establishing their dominance with new allies and a powerful united force comprising hundreds of level-10 powerhouses. Meanwhile, Kars flees the pursuing Abyss Will and Chaotic Servant, seeking refuge in the astral world, which alerts the Star Ancestor to an impending invasion.
Billions. This is a realm constructed from books. Beyond books, nothing exists but books. A veritable mountain of tomes and an ocean of knowledge. Only at the absolute center rests an ancient desk. A golden-haired figure is seated there, casually perusing the newly acquired books, completely absorbed; it is the long-vanished Hera. Her condition appears to be quite stable. The last instance of her disappearance at dusk, she was on the brink of being lost, but ultimately, she managed to pull through, as if some external influence intervened. Upon awakening, she discovered herself in this location. An extradimensional space brought into being by Supreme Power. From the sheer volume of books, it is quite apparent. The owner could only be one individual. Sauron! Which signifies her father. This is likely the place where Sauron conducts his daily research and scholarly pursuits. Presently, the individual is absent, leaving behind only the immense collection of books. Having remained here for centuries. Hera's wounds healed, and her Supreme Realm stabilized. Yet, she felt no haste to depart. Initially, when she vanished in combat, the world presumed her to be lost forever. Presumably, Levi, Emmon, and the others held the same belief. Perhaps, with the exception of Sauron, no one is aware of Hera's presence here. However, within this sanctuary. Hera can still perceive the external world through the crystal orb situated on the desk, Sauron's 'monitoring' apparatus. Given this, she resolved to linger a while longer. To cultivate a deceptive impression among the other Giant Worlds, permitting them a sense of ease and anticipation for the opportune moment to strike, thereby achieving unforeseen results. If she were to emerge now. Nora ostensibly commands five Supreme Combat Powers, envision that? The other giants would undoubtedly hasten to overcome their obstacles, uniting their forces to eliminate Nora. That would prove detrimental to Nora; with her current might, she is sufficient to establish a tripartite balance with the two other major civilizations, allowing for further development and growth. Throughout these years. Hera immersed herself in reading, cultivated her power, abstained from conflict, and found tranquility. It transpires that beyond the pursuit of fame and fortune, she had an alternate existence. The path she traversed, striving to establish the Void Holy Temple, perhaps was undertaken to earn her parents' admiration. Not because of any particular fondness for it. Suddenly, the study began to shake. An endless torrent of demonic aura surged inward, coalescing into a silhouette. Its body shimmered like the stars; its eyes blazed with the brilliance of wisdom. "Welcome to Sauron's study." Hera offered a smile, her expression unwavering. The Fallen Star Lord surveyed its surroundings, its demeanor shifting upon discovering Hera. Demonic energy erupted, stars rained down, unleashing a Supreme strike directed at Hera. With her longsword raised, Hera deflected the assault. She began chanting incantations, calmly uttering: "Truth Chains!" The crystal sphere on the table started to revolve. From every direction, walls and bookshelves, billions of books spun in unison; each tome exuded an intangible chain, ultimately forming a translucent prison. It descended, ensnaring the Fallen Star Lord within. The entity struggled ferociously, the prison reverberated but remained unyielding. Hera declared: "Awaken!" She observed the Fallen Star Lord's form glimmer with starlight, becoming semi-transparent, revealing internal light-blue crystals, indicative of its Supreme crystals, akin to a Disaster Stone. Within the crystal, however, lay a fragment of slate. "My Star Fragment!" This was an artifact it had acquired long ago. Utilizing this, it guided the Ancient Star Demons to become a formidable faction within the Abyss, earning the favor of the Abyss Will and achieving War Merit on multiple occasions. It employed this item as its core to attain supremacy. This was its very foundation! Its secret! Unexpectedly, Hera was privy to this. "This woman claims this is Sauron's study. Could it be that she is Sauron reincarnated?" The Fallen Star Lord continued to ponder. In the subsequent moment, the slate fragment pulsed with light, an overpowering and irresistible intention surged directly into the Fallen Star Lord's spiritual sea, eventually materializing a phantom clad in White Robes. He possessed a handsome visage, brimming with vitality. His eyes resembled stars, his imposing presence seemed to reach the heavens! Sauron! The Fallen Star Lord finally comprehended. The reason it surpassed other Ancient Star Demons. It wasn't due to its own prowess, but rather because it had been utilized. The trophy it fortuitously obtained during a Blood Battle [Star Fragment] turned out to be Sauron's contingency plan; he might be attempting to possess it and achieve rebirth! "I am Supreme as well! Sauron, you have been deceased for a considerable time; you are no match for me!" The Fallen Star Lord naturally offered resistance. The White Robe phantom remained impassive. It was devoid of emotion, appearing as a projection from a pre-programmed sequence. Disappointment flickered within Hera's heart. She too had believed her father intended to leverage this opportunity for reincarnation. Now, it seemed, her father had indeed perished. This White Robe phantom was merely a method he had left within the study. Before she lost herself, it might have been what preserved her. Now, it was still safeguarding the impending doom of the Fallen Star Lord. Or perhaps, this hidden study had perpetually existed within that lost dimension.However, Sauron had already prepared the method to enter and exit this place beforehand. In any case, Hera was certain to assist the White Robe phantom. No matter how powerful Sauron was, he couldn't possibly know everything. His father was merely a little smarter than the average person. He could scheme across the world and plan for eternity, yet he was still prone to occasional mistakes. The Fallen Star Lord was meant to be his contingency plan, something Sauron intended to control seamlessly. It seems, however, that a minor error has occurred at this moment. Hera's supreme aura erupted, and her longsword slashed out! "Dawn and dusk, in an instant!" With a single strike, time and space compressed. The Fallen Star Lord felt itself instantly grow old, its lifespan draining away at an inconceivable rate. The White Robe phantom began chanting incantations. Meanwhile, the Wisdom Tablet fragment acted like a parasite, wriggling within the Demon Body.
