Arius stood before her and she was directly opposite him She smiled a wicked smile and said
Finally I meet you face to face
Arius looked at her coldly
I was waiting for the right moment for this meeting
She bragged laughing lightly
Really incredible My pet is standing before me now after I thought he was dead And even when I saw you in the first tournament it was a real shock
Arius raised an eyebrow saying with cold calmness
Bad luck for me seeing you was an unexpected surprise I was not careful when I saw you I thought I was in another world
She smiled boastfully
How I missed seeing you
Nahira asked about the reason for her sudden request to meet but he only spoke leaving the matter mysterious
On the other side Arlin was looking for him after the celebration ended Suddenly she spotted Arius coming from afar so she advanced quickly and asked him
Where were you
He answered her coldly
I just went to relieve myself then he walked away
In the arena everyone stood congratulating Karma while the Sixth World was celebrating its victory over the First World Karma looked at Nahira who was sitting with a mysterious smile as if she had lost nothing and as if she were the real winner Karma honored the warriors of the Sixth World despite their reservations about their performance especially Raymos and Mythos
After the honoring everyone returned to their world On the way Nahira assistant looked at her and asked about the reason for her smile despite the loss She answered him with a cold hidden smile
I gained something better
On the other side while they were floating in space Arlin looked at Arius and said with a smile
Thank you as usual you always save us
Arius smiled lightly and answered
This is my duty
Then he put on his headphones raised his hat and Wang brought them to Earth safely leaving everyone in peace after a night full of drama and amazing victories
On Earth everyone was busy celebrating first for the great victory of the Sixth World and second for the return of Arius after a long absence
During the celebration Raymos approached Arlin and apologized for what happened in the previous round as he lost too easily and was angry at himself for that Arlin looked at him calmly and said
No need to worry it is not worth it We won anyway so do not burden yourself
As for Mythos his eyes went directly to Arius who was sitting far away and he walked to him quickly and said
I want to fight you just to try my strength
Arius smiled calmly and took off his headphones saying
I am busy now but if this is just a test then fine
The two went to one of the large gardens and everyone stood to watch the awaited fight
Mythos rushed at an incredible speed toward Arius launching countless blows in all directions Arius evaded them with amazing ease thinking to himself
This person is strong but he is slow
Suddenly Arius jumped and flew behind Mythos who was shocked by the incredible speed Arius whispered in his ear
Never lower your guard
With a single focused blow Arius knocked Mythos to the ground astonishing everyone with the strength and speed of the blow The fight ended with an undisputed victory for Arius
Arius approached Mythos and extended his hand to help him up
You are good but you need to focus on speed more than power
Mythos listened to the advice with fascination realizing that Arius did not even show a small part of his potential and that this lesson would completely change his style in the future
After the party ended Arlin Wang and Mythos returned to Arlin planet while on Earth Arius entered his house accompanied by Raymos Lina and Yuna
Arius said in a low voice feeling the weight of fatigue
I am tired I want to go to sleep
Lina looked at him with curiosity and asked him
Where have you been all this time
Arius looked at her for a moment without answering then he went up quietly to his room leaving everyone in a state of wonder and amazement at his mysterious behavior recently
Upstairs Arius sat on his bed and looked at the palm of his hand contemplating everything that happened He said to himself in a low voice
I cannot believe this everything has become clear now Those events did not happen by chance since the seal was broken from me or maybe even before it I feel that everything is planned in advance but why is this happening to me And why is the system helping me What is the real purpose behind all this And who is responsible for it Is it all random
He placed his head on the pillow and continued in a firmer voice
Whatever this thing is it helps me achieve huge things so I will check every step and ensure safety for my family and myself and I will soon know who this person is who helps me in secret and I will discover the reason for sealing my memories too
Arius sat silently for a moment surrounded by darkness but he was ready for a world of secrets and schemes determined to uncover everything around him no matter what the cost
The next morning Raymos woke up and opened the window to be shocked by the sight of Arius training in a strange and astonishing way in the garden
Raymos went downstairs quickly fascinated by what he saw He had never seen Arius train this way he was meditating deeply as if his body and soul were trying to harmonize with something hidden Suddenly Arius stood over his head trying to catch him but he disappeared in an instant to appear later sitting on one of the garden walls
Raymos was shocked by his tremendous speed and Arius opened his eyes and said calmly
Unfortunate I could not reach that state yet
Raymos approached inquiring
What were you trying
Arius answered without any enthusiasm
I was trying to reach that state I transformed into during the tournament of worlds
Raymos shivered slightly from surprise
You mean that silver form you were in at that time
Yes I have tried since then but I did not succeed and I do not even know the way
Raymos stood stunned and asked about the secret of that power so Arius answered him
I do not know it appeared suddenly without my awareness
Raymos stopped for a second trying to absorb what he heard then he said enthusiastically
Do you want us to train together
Arius shook his head with indifference then used teleportation and disappeared leaving Raymos to sigh with bitterness
He fled as usual
Raymos returned inside to find Lina sitting waiting for him She smiled and said
I need your help The huge shelves in the library fell and I could not find Arius
Raymos moved to her side and lifted the huge shelves with one hand with amazing ease Lina said in amazement
Wow You are very strong I thought you were weaker than my brother Arius
Raymos face turned red with anger and he said
Stop it you fool I am not weak and I am stronger than your stupid brother
Lina laughed innocently and said
I know that I was only joking
For a second the two found themselves in an awkward situation where the atmosphere pulsed with lightheartedness and shyness while the heart of each of them kicked lightly from that unexpected moment
Arius sat on the roof of a building contemplating the city in silence when Dark appeared behind him bowing slightly
My lord I came to tell you that we have a problem
Arius looked at him coldly
And what is it
The soldiers are in total chaos my lord
Arius smiled calmly then used teleportation to the void world to stand beside Dark contemplating his army that he spent the past weeks building He could see Rhinos trying to organize the soldiers but they were distracted and unorganized
Arius descended toward them and a single look from him was enough they all bowed in respect to him With a simple click of his fingers he made every soldier line up according to his strength
The warriors on one side
The monsters on another side
The regular soldiers on a separate side
The rows were perfectly organized as if moving with the precision of a fine machine Then Arius looked at Dark and Rhinos
This is how the organization must always be
The soldiers bowed in respect and the system window lit up in front of Arius to discover the superior capabilities of his soldiers
Dark and Rhinos have an excellent strength level but Arius did not allow them to reach the higher ranks yet to keep the progression controlled
The title of leaders is given to whoever proves his strength meaning that a regular soldier if he becomes strong enough can easily be classified among the big leaders
The soldiers strength develops in an unstandard way just as he does they get his own characteristics after they become part of his private property
Arius looked at the counter window to see 10000 soldiers now in an incredible record time Then he discovered that the classification of the allies origin became S which means he can now
Create soldiers from nothing according to the specifications he wants
Determine the number he wishes without any limit
Automatically obtain the capabilities of the creatures that become his including their memories and characteristics eternally
Arius smiled silently amazed at the power he possesses and the possibilities that became available to him without limits Everything became his and all his soldiers became an extension of him as if the whole world was under his control
Arius was walking between the rows of his soldiers contemplating the strength on which he built his numerical network as they lined up accurately as if they were an extension of his soul He said to himself in a quiet voice full of confidence
I was not what I was during the past weeks rather I built this numerical network of strong soldiers and developed all my capabilities above that
He opened a new window for the system and began to monitor the progress of his abilities
The void domain is now classified A
He reached rank B in the ability to build abilities enabling him to invent the portal domain technique currently classified A as well
Arius smiled as he imagined the massive possibilities Millions of portals he can create within any domain through which he can send any attack or transfer himself or send any soldier to any place He said to himself
An excellent technique it will enhance our attack and defense with unprecedented flexibility
Then he looked at his personal status
The system level rose to 55 making it easier for him to get soldiers from dungeons with incredible speed
His stats rose and his strength is now 900 Quintillion in his normal state
The classification of the Eye of Arousa reached S which means an effectiveness that can never be stopped
Arius felt achievement filling his chest and his goal was close to being realized But despite all this progress he knew deep inside that the path was not yet complete and that there was more power and more secrets that he must explore before reaching the peak of his capabilities
Days pass and the visits of Arlin and Wang to Earth increase significantly One day while Lina was helping to arrange some things she turned to Arlin and asked her quietly
Why have you been visiting Earth so much these days
Arlin smiled and whispered to her in a low voice
We want to watch Arius so that he stays under our eyes and does not go anywhere at the time we need him
Lina laughed and said jokingly
In fact my brother is always like this he disappears suddenly and returns suddenly We got used to his behavior
Arlin looked at her seriously and said
Since the first tournament of worlds Arius has changed a lot There is something different about him
Lina wondered and said
In what way
Arlin sighed and said
I do not know exactly but he became much calmer than before and stays away from events and no longer asks me to train as in the past His behavior is very strange as if he is a completely different person
Lina smiled and said
I felt that too my brother became a bit colder but whatever the reason I excuse him
Wang intervened saying quietly
Maybe he is going through some stages of adolescence
Arlin looked at him with surprise
What is this
Wang explained
It is a state that humans or creatures go through when reaching a certain stage of growth present in all creatures
Arlin sighed and said
Ah maybe this is the reason then
Lina laughed and said
I am eighteen years old and I used to act strangely sometimes like not wanting to mix with others maybe my brother is going through this stage and everyone will calm down with time
Arlin smiled and felt a little relieved while everyone felt that things began to become clearer even though the mystery around Arius was still present
Arius came down from the house and went out to find Arlin Wang and everyone sitting in the garden He approached them quietly and sat with them
Arlin was sitting talking to Wang in a whisper
Arius seems to be going through adolescence he must be doing perverted things in secret and that is why he always disappears
Arius smiled then said to her quietly
And what are you doing Arlin
Arlin exploded from her place terrified
Arius Since when have you been behind me
Arius looked at her with a slight smile
Since you said about me that I am perverted
He held his heart calmly then stood up and held her hair gently to spare her any surprise laughing a little at her behavior
He sat with them and the atmosphere became calmer than before After a moment Arius asked Arlin about Mythos
Especially that person where is he now
Arlin looked at him
On my planet currently training
Arlin asked again
And why
Arius answered
In fact I found in him a treasure that must be exploited for the benefit of the Sixth World He has a distinct talent from what I saw in him
Wang smiled and said
Oh Arius did you notice something special about him
Arius looked at him with focused eyes
Yes he has a hidden power but he does not know how to exploit it
Arius completed seriously
If you allow me Arlin I want to test him myself again
Arlin looked at him and said with a smile
In fact I have been training him since his childhood but he showed nothing except endurance and high solidity
Arius smiled and said with confidence
Trust him let us go to your planet now
They arrived at Arlin planet and there Arius watched Mythos training with severity and strong determination Arius looked at them and said
Let him show all he has .
