When Raya's familiar name, along with her appearance, which was strikingly similar to his memories, and her unique hunchback, all came together, they already proved that she was the Omen Child born from the fusion of the Blasphemous Serpent and Rykard.
Of course, while they looked similar, they were not entirely identical; they were merely two leaves from the same tree.
Between the two, not only did their origins differ, but they also possessed completely different destinies and powers.
In the original work, the Omen Child Raya was merely a low-level serpent person, inheriting none of the power of the Blasphemous Serpent or Rykard.
So, she was mercilessly abandoned by the Lord of Blasphemy. Fortunately, Rykard's consort, Tanith, was a loving woman.
She adopted Raya, giving her a perfect home with her maternal love, allowing her to grow up happily.
However, at this moment, Raya's destiny was vastly different from that of the original work.
She was no longer that abandoned, weak, low-level serpent person, but had become the first-generation serpent princess, perfectly fused with the powers of the Gloam-Eyed Queen and the Blasphemous Serpent.
She was a born Godskin Demigod, wielding the law of Destined Death.
This made her power and status far surpass those of Raya in the original work.
The two were not on the same level, whether in terms of power or bloodline.
His daughter, Raya, had already reached a higher level.

"Dang~~~~"
After decades, the pleasant chime rang in Xiao's ears, and the Great Firmament Arena finally opened once again.
Xiao quickly ended the discussion, handed over the hundreds-of-millions-worth project entirely to Maya, and entered the Great Firmament Arena in Sage Mode.
Ten Great Luo Dao Fruit fragments and five Great Luo Dao Fruit fragments rose together, transforming into two golden suns. The two Xiaos arrived simultaneously at the Great Firmament Arena.
"(⊙o⊙)..."
As soon as the other party entered, he looked at the Great Luo Dao Fruit fragments in the sky and fell into astonishment.
"Ten?? Your speed at collecting Dao Fruit fragments is that fast?"
Although the number of Great Luo Dao Fruit fragments did not represent strength, Xiao, who commanded the resources of nine worlds, could not possibly be weak.
This opponent was clearly a bit out of his league.
"It's alright. I just became stronger a little faster. Sometimes, I even scare myself—I might become a Great Luo before I even finish collecting all the Dao Fruit fragments!"
Xiao spread his hands helplessly, speaking with a touch of Versailles.
"You're really pretending to be humble in front of me. You're truly despicable. Do you know how much hardship I've endured to reach this point?"
The other Xiao immediately spoke, his face flushed with anger.
Xiao's lips curled into a faint smile as he shrugged slightly.
"Hmm, luck is also part of strength!"
This sentence seemed to carry a hint of playfulness, yet also a mockery of fate.
He recalled the first Xiao who had once uttered this famous quote. Although he ultimately couldn't escape the tricks of fate, making the words somewhat ominous, Xiao didn't care about such things.
Now, with the foundation of ten worlds in his hands, facing an enemy with only five worlds, his heart was filled with confidence.
What's more, he also held six powerful Great Runes.
Under his command were dozens of Titans and Leviathan legions, as well as hundreds of millions of powerful subordinates.
With this overwhelming force, he truly didn't know how he could lose this battle.
Even if the opponent had extremely good luck and randomly transmigrated into a super-high-magic world like the Primordial World, Xiao remained fearless.
Because in higher-level worlds, time becomes cheaper, and people need far more time to improve their strength.
Whether it's a cultivation world, a world of gods, or a wizard world,
these powerful high-magic worlds often require centuries just to lay a foundation, and countless people are unable to cross even that first threshold.
Yet, Xiao had experienced only about a hundred years in total since his transmigration.
The strength of a world truly has little correlation with the strength of an individual.
Take a world like the Primordial World—who would say it isn't powerful? But for those Great Divine Powers, a casual nap might mean tens of thousands of years have passed.
Even to reach the most basic Immortal Realm, who doesn't cultivate for thousands or even tens of thousands of years?
So, ten against five, Xiao had nothing to fear anymore.
"Hmph~ Then let's fight!"
The other Xiao let out a cold snort, no longer bothering with further conversation, and chose to begin the battle, because he felt that if they kept talking, he might truly be angered to death by the other party.
"Then let's begin!!"
Xiao also had no intention of chatting further and directly chose to start the battle.
"Dang~~~"
With another tolling of the bell, the relatives and friends of both sides entered the arena, and the final countdown to the battle began.
The arena also changed accordingly; this time, the battlefield directly transformed into a desolate planet.
With a thought, countless Dimension Doors opened, releasing an overwhelming amount of Cyber Aura that quickly spread across the entire battlefield.
Immediately afterward, a map appeared in Xiao's mind, and the golden finger from the Knight World activated its effect.
Everything was laid out before Xiao.
This time, Xiao did not intend to overwhelm the opponent with sheer numbers.
Instead, he was preparing to let the other party experience the power of technology.
He wanted to see whether the other party could create a miracle and reach him alive before being completely played to death.
The moment the countdown ended, the barrier instantly disappeared, and the Stay-at-Home Circuit spread toward the opponent's territory at an astonishing speed.
Xiao watched the opponent's every move closely and soon discovered many familiar faces.
The most recognizable were ninja forehead protectors and Fairy Tail guild marks.
"The Naruto world and the Fairy Tail world—those two worlds have quite good starting points.
According to the divine status granted to me by the Great Luo Dao Fruit, if nothing unexpected happens, I'll most likely become a member of the Senju Clan or the Uchiha Clan, or at the very least, a member of the Hyuga Clan or the Uzumaki Clan!"
Xiao pondered to himself.
As for the other three worlds, two groups of people were clearly from modern settings.
One group wore uniforms and carried firearms, looking like soldiers.
The other group consisted entirely of weak-looking otaku and fujoshi, most likely from an ordinary urban world, completely unrelated to supernatural power.
From this, it could be inferred that these two worlds were most likely modern societies without supernatural abilities.
As for the last world, it contained races such as elves, dwarves, halflings, and mages, which made Xiao frown.
"This world is very likely one of those chaotic RPG-style isekai series. That's a bit troublesome."
In reality, ever since the popularity of Overlord, so-called "otherworld" series had gradually evolved into a realm of brainless power fantasies and harem stories.
And the protagonists' cheats in those works were almost always unreasonable system-type abilities.
If The other Xiao happened to befriend one of those system-bearing protagonists and brought him here, he might even be able to capture a system and play with it.
