Chapter 48 - New Arius

Arius leaned in space his eyes contemplating everything that had happened as he whispered to himself

Is this truly my power in my base state 800 Quintillion incredible

He began to recall the details of the last battle every moment every strike and every transformation he went through especially the Silver Transformation and the strange aura that swept over him and every detail of the Rui state he experienced which made him feel a power he had never known before Suddenly the system screen popped up in front of him to explain to him

Arius the reason you reached this level now is because this is your true level When your power was previously 100 Trillion it was because of the forced seal that was restricting your ability to develop Whenever you trained your power level increased by only 1% of your true capacity

The system added

Now after breaking the seal your true power has appeared and you will be able to develop much faster than before

Arius wondered in a low voice

But what is the reason for the seal

The system refused to answer remaining silent

Then he asked about the Silver Transformation and the Rui state

What is their story

The system replied

The Silver Transformation is called Ultra Mayura and it is different from all your previous transformations Upon entering it another consciousness takes over that brings you to perfect completion in everything attack defense intelligence strength durability everything There are countless features I cannot fully explain

Arius remembered his feeling when he was in that transformation submerged but increasing in strength without stopping and his consciousness was integrated

He also inquired about the aura called Rui and its random behavior and the system clarified

That state was not supposed to appear now and I cannot give more details

Arius smiled a little absorbing all that then took a deep breath feeling a massive energy flowing through him without limits In an instant he launched himself toward the Sixth World at an unimaginable speed uniting with his true power and ready for any new challenge he would face

Arius stood before the borders of the Sixth World his eyes contemplating the horizon without any feeling of exhaustion and said in silence

I wonder how much distance I have covered

The system replied immediately

You have covered a distance estimated at about 10^24 light years which is equivalent to only 5 hours according to the time you spent here

Arius was shocked by the massive number as all he did was fly at his normal speed yet he managed to cross this cosmic distance in record time But he did not comment for long and continued his way at an unimaginable speed and within a few minutes he reached planet Earth where he landed in front of his house

He entered the house with complete coldness without uttering a single word finding his mother Yuna and his sister Lina sitting watching television Lina turned to him and said in surprise

Brother when did you return

Arius did not reply and without any word he went up to his room leaving his mother and sister in a state of confusion and questioning about his strange behavior

In his room Arius sat silently thinking about the best way to reach the dimension where Yukari is to return and eliminate the threat as he promised her from his evil version and also for the sake of Iyanna While thinking he suddenly felt very hungry so he decided to go downstairs

He found his mother preparing dinner and sat at the table in silence she turned to him saying

What is wrong my son Are you okay

Arius answered her with unusual calmness

Everything is fine

Lina sat next to him and said jokingly

It seems someone is in a bad mood today too and where is Raymos Werent you together

Arius looked at her coldly and said

Shut up I feel exhausted now

Lina calmed down a bit surprised by this strange behavior from her brother while his mother placed the food in front of him Arius began eating greedily so Linas eyes fixed on him and she said jokingly

Look at this monster how he swallows everything

Arius smiled slightly and said to her

How about I swallow you too

He finished his food stood up quietly and returned to his room to rest a little after all those violent cosmic events he went through

The next morning Arius woke up early his eyes deeply contemplating the clear sky before remembering something important He went downstairs quickly and stood in the huge garden in front of the house where the sunlight filtered through the trees shining on their green leaves while Lina watched him from the window and pleaded with him

Brother what are you going to do

He looked at her with calm coldness and said

I am going to save Yukari

Lina smiled faintly and said

Do what you want Then she walked in the hallway and at a moment of realization she rushed back to the window

Wait what do you mean you are going to save her

Downstairs Arius opened the system window and went to a specific option called Save Point He looked at his last use which was the same place from which he and Raymos had previously transported when Iyanna tried to kill him He pressed the screen and suddenly transported to the same old location

In the other dimension Lina went out looking for him but did not find him anywhere The surrounding buildings were completely destroyed and the city had become just a barren land and scattered debris Arius stood contemplating the scene saying in a faint voice

What is this ruin Is this truly Earth Something regrettable If there were a strong person here they would have eliminated the cause of this destruction long ago but unfortunately there is no one

In another place the evil Arius and Iyanna were sitting on a mountaintop drinking juice in total silence Suddenly they felt a massive energy coming from the city they did not know its source The evil Arius whispered

Have they returned

Iyanna answered him sharply

I dont think so This energy belongs to only one person as for those fools their power was much less

The evil Arius laughed mockingly

Whoever this person is I will finish him with my own hands

The two flew around the place and when they approached the source of the energy their eyes caught a person standing in the middle of the destruction And when they got closer suddenly a massive energy strike shocked them piercing through Iyanna erasing half of her body But she regenerated quickly showing her massive power

They got closer only to be shocked by Arius standing there smiling with a cold and terrifying smile He said to himself

I have been waiting for you

The air around him shook from his power and the surrounding destruction became clearer while Arius watched every movement of Iyanna and his evil version carefully ready for any attack yet his smile indicated that he was completely in control of the situation

The evil Arius and Iyanna landed on the ground amidst the scene of massive destruction their eyes contemplating the scene around them wondering about the incredible daring with which Arius came back here with this speed and power

Iyanna laughed maliciously and said

Oh what is this Where is your friend Raymos Is he hiding somewhere here Let him come out so we can play again

Arius smiled a calm and terrifying smile at the same time and said coldly

Do you think I alone am enough to play with you or would you prefer I bring you some animals to take care of

Iyanna felt provoked and her anger rose slightly so she stood up immediately and ordered the evil Arius to attack him and hold him accountable

The evil Arius launched himself with incredible speed toward Arius to seize him but he was surprised by a powerful strike to his face from Ariuss foot which sent him flying away like a small insect causing Iyanna to be confused She whispered to herself

What is happening here What is this confidence

The evil Arius returned to his feet filled with anger and summoned his special form as the Ruler and his power rose amazingly to reach 90 Quintillion He headed toward Arius trying to push him back but he collided with Ariuss block of all his punches using only his feet without Arius transforming or showing any clear combat seriousness and that was like a thunderbolt for his enemies

The evil Arius became very angry and Iyanna joined the attack against him but they soon discovered they were completely unable to touch Arius for his power and way of blocking attacks surpassed all their expectations

Then Arius began grabbing each one of them and throwing them far away completely crushing their morale while his cold smile did not leave his face as if everything was a small game for him and every move from his opponents was just an opportunity to show his complete superiority

The pace of events rose to its maximum and Iyanna stood before Arius with a look mixed between astonishment and provocation saying to him

What has happened to you Arius

Arius looked at her for a while his voice calm with a strange coldness

Nothing I am just happy because I will get rid of you and him and I will save Iyanna and restore justice to humans

Iyanna laughed mockingly

Justice What justice will you achieve you fool No justice will be achieved for you are very late

His cold look did not budge but she added cruelly

Every creature on this earth has perished There is no longer anything called Yukari and nothing called humans

Ariuss anger ignited suddenly and he directed his punch which he launched with devastating power sending her outside the planet at a massive speed Then he turned to the evil Arius who was shocked by Ariuss new speed and grabbed him to throw him toward the sun causing the entire planet to disintegrate under the shock of the impact and the rest of the planets in the solar system to shake while Arius went out into space determined to crush any resistance

Iyanna became steadfast thanks to her absolute immortality while the evil Arius began to lose his ability to endure so Ariuss booming strike was launched which distorted the entire solar system and both of them were struck with terror and fled at their maximum speed but Arius pursued them across the galaxies and his power squeezed them to the point that the galaxies themselves collided with each other

When Arius cornered the two in a massive stellar region Iyanna trembled and said terrified

You scum what have you become like this while I possess junk that looks like you

The evil Arius smiled annoyed and tried to attack Arius with all his power but he collided with the massive power gap and fell far away to be met by Ariuss sharp voice

You are just a fool a tool in the hands of this scum

The evil Arius shouted while angry

Shut up because she is the only one who cared about me The whole world abandoned me I did not feel appreciated except from her

Arius looked at him with a deadly calm

In my world she is a kind girl who does not carry those twisted thoughts but I will ask you a question What benefit did you two gain from everything you did

The evil Arius contemplated for a while then remembered the truth but did not find a clear answer and said only

I

Suddenly he received a fatal stab in his chest from behind and Arius was shocked by that and discovered that the stab came from Iyanna The evil Arius looked at her in amazement

Why my lady

Iyanna whispered in his ear

I planted within you the source of my full power and it is time to reclaim it Sorry for exploiting you but fools deserve that

A glowing energy beam came out from within him which Iyanna swallowed then she threw the evil Arius away as if he were just trash and he fell onto one of the planets Arius rushed after him caught him and threw him with determination

Do you see I told you you fool

The evil Arius looked before passing away with tears filling his eyes

All I wanted was to live a normal life

Then he died

Arius shook his head with intense anger his voice full of resentment

Is it written for every version of me that its fate must be tragic like this Damn everything

This scene shows the escalation of Ariuss unlimited power his intense anger and the justice he imposes cruelly while highlighting Iyannas resilience and shrewdness in the end .
