The moment Izumi got his hands on the items, he vanished on the spot.
Leaving behind a completely dumbfounded Nyarko.
Watching his disappearing figure, she snapped back to her senses and shouted—
"Wait!!"
"Damn it, I got ripped off!!"
She had never said he could take everything!
Those were all part of her precious collection!
And yet, Izumi had just swept them all away in one go.
This is outrageous!!
Only now did she realize—
he had set this trap from the very beginning.
For a moment, Nyarko felt like crying but had no tears left.
...
Meanwhile, Izumi couldn't care less.
With the goods in hand, he returned straight home.
Once there, he pulled out all the collectibles he had gathered recently—
and tossed everything, along with Nyarko's stash, into the system.
"Alright… time for a few draws."
As the items were fed in, the system began to operate, compressing everything.
Soon, one item after another was ejected.
Izumi quickly opened his inventory and checked the results.

Seeing this lineup, even Izumi was stunned.
"This is… insane."
"…Feels amazing."
Without hesitation, he waved his hand and summoned Avrora.
Avrora, suddenly brought over, blinked in confusion.
Noticing the empty surroundings, she quickly understood.
Her eyes sparkled as she asked eagerly—
"Are you making my beasts stronger again?"
As she spoke, she leapt into Izumi's arms.
Every time he called her like this, it meant power.
Just like before.
Izumi nodded.
"That's right."
"This time, I want Al Meissa Mercury… and Yama's Black Sword."
Hearing this, Avrora nodded obediently.
Opening her mouth slightly, revealing her sharp fangs, she bit into him.
Izumi dropped his defenses, allowing her familiars to merge into his body.
At the same time—
he activated the two Solar Authorities.
And then, the Avatāra star diagram.
The moment everything fused—
Izumi's aura skyrocketed.
Avrora, still in his arms, widened her eyes in shock.
At the same time, his entire world underwent a dramatic transformation.
The very fabric of existence grew stronger.
New constellations appeared within the cosmos.
Even the gods bearing Izumi's mark experienced a sudden evolution.
...
Nyarko, who had been happily playing with her transformation belt, suddenly froze.
She looked toward Izumi's direction.
"…Oh?"
"That was fast."
"Not bad."
She grinned, clearly pleased.
But soon, her expression settled.
"Still… not enough."
"Keep getting stronger."
"At least surpass me first."
"You've only just taken the first step."
With that, she shrugged it off and returned her attention to the belt.
Adding rare materials, tinkering endlessly—
she intended to make it her ultimate equipment.
After all—
her belt had to be the strongest.
...
Back with Izumi—
having fused everything, his strength had reached a new level.
He had broken through—
into the realm of the Two-Digit.
At the same time, he gained true omnipotence.
His perception expanded infinitely.
There was nothing in his world he didn't know.
The power of omniscience and omnipotence fully manifested.
He opened his status panel.

Looking at this, Izumi couldn't suppress his smile.
Currently, his Solar Authorities included:
Taurus, Leo, Pisces, Gemini, Libra—
and Avrora's Ophiuchus.
As for the star diagrams:
Unknown, Taisei, Avesta, and the newly obtained Avatāra.
Combined with his vast Authorities—
his strength had reached terrifying heights.
Across the entire dimensional multiverse, he now stood among the strong.
But—
it still wasn't enough.
Only by reaching the Single-Digit level—
or beyond—
could he truly be called a top-tier existence.
...
Closing the panel, Izumi turned his gaze to the final two items.
After a moment of thought, he chose not to use them yet.
There was no rush.
He needed time to adapt to his current power.
With his recent breakthrough, he had gained a deeper understanding.
If he fused those last two items—
his strength would rise again.
He might even ascend into an entirely new tier.
But right now, he hadn't fully mastered what he already had.
So he held off.
...
Avrora gazed at him, her eyes sparkling.
"You're amazing…"
"You're so strong now."
Leaning closer, she took a deep breath against him.
Then swallowed.
Her blood stirred violently.
She wanted to drink his blood.
Seeing this, Izumi shook his head.
"My blood now… you can't handle it."
"The difference between Two-Digit and Three-Digit is absolute."
"So… have something else instead."
A faint smile formed on his lips.
Avrora instantly understood.
Her cheeks flushed bright red.
