Rebirth: Tyrant's New Reality

"So that\'s how you want to do it, huh?" Meya muttered after he heard ARkhen\'s plan. A second later, she grinned and nodded, "Alright, I\'ll prepare for it. Hehe, let\'s hope the game plays out as you want."

First, she had to return to the Duchy in the west and meet her parents for the plan.

"Yep. Let\'s hope it plays out as I want," Arkhen said with a nod.

"That aside~~," Meya said as she stood up and licked her lips, "Brother Arkhen, get ready tonight. I will come to your room and become your woman, hehe. After that, you can ask for my hand from my parents."

Meya left after saying that, leaving Arkhen and Azela smiling wryly.

"What do I say to her parents? I want your daughter into my harem?" Arkhen said with a rueful smile.

Azela chuckled with an amused expression. "You have to impress them enough and make them speechless, which I am sure you can do. Though, Unlike many others, her parents only had a single marriage, which might bring some difficulty."

"Yeah, that\'s why I don\'t know if they would accept their daughter becoming my wife," Arkhen said with a wry smile. "Oh well, I\'ll do it somehow, hahaha. Now that I have decided she is mine, nothing is changing that."

Alas… Only if everything went according to one\'s wishes…

…

After leaving the capital, Arkhen and Azela sat on Ruan the wolf and went towards the Southern Snowy region for training as Arkhen wanted to check out his newfound powers and…

Open the Book of Exotic Demons!

Meya told him that the matter regarding Raoth, the son of dead Grand Duke Melioth, who was attempting to kill Arkhen was solved as Raoth was killed today morning. That\'s why Arkhen went out without worry.

"Roarr~"

Lucius and Blancia were also moving alongside while playing. Blancia was more playful as she would jump over Lucius and sometimes even ride on Lucius\'s back.

"It\'s good that you got Lucius, causing Blancia to get a playmate of her kin right after being born," Azela said with a smile.

"Rawr~" Blancia roared cutely and looked at Azela and Arkhen before jumping over them and riding on Lucius\'s back.

"Roar!!"

Suddenly, Lucious loudly roared and used its power. A burst of icy motes suddenly appeared before a big path of snow started forming in front of Lucius as he ran on it. Lucius\'s paws also glowed with wind and ice power after it moved on the path, and its speed drastically increased.

*Swooosh…*

Both Lucius and Blancia sitting on Lucius\'s back moved on the icy path in the air at super fast speed, leaving Ruan behind.

As they moved, the path started stretching while the path behind started disappearing.

"Roarr!!"

Lucius looked back and roared at Ruan as if challenging it.

"Awoooo~!!" Ruan howled before snorting and used its skill, Wind Runner!

"Hahaha," Arkhen laughed as he saw his pets competing.

Ruan\'s speed increased by 200% and also increased its size to gigantic thirty meters long and twenty-eight meters tall, making its strides bigger and speed even faster!

It quickly caught up to Lucius and Blancia before overtaking both of them.

"Awooo!!"

…

All of them quickly entered the snowy region and started killing dire beasts.

Arkhen stood at the cliff with Azela. This cliff was not the one that had the ascension spot. On the other hand, Ruan, Lucius, and Blancia were nowhere to be found since they went to hunt other beasts and eat.

From the cliff, Arkhen could see a small forest and was looking at the live map created by Ruan.

"Will I be able to kill 4th-grade beasts with my full-powered attack?" Arkhen muttered as he saw six red dots on the map, and many other green and white dots. Out of those six red dots, two of them were dark red, indicating that they were 4th-grade or higher-grade beasts.

"Just try. I want to see your new skills," Azela said with anticipation bubbling in her eyes.

"Mhm," Akrhen nodded as he first used the <Melferious Shrine Tree: Jiragen> by consuming 20% of his soul energy as a small tree conjured and appeared beside Arkhen.

A second later, Arkhen triggered its Overlord Shrine activation as the tree glowed and summoned a small shrine with a statue similar looking to Arkhen\'s own physique body appeared.

In the next second, Arkhen raised his hand and muttered, "Infernal Star-Fall…"

*Dhrrrrrrmmm…*

The atmosphere suddenly rumbled as a burst of energy influx appeared around Arkhen. In the sky, above the forest, thirty meters away from Arkhen, an infernal star conjured, pulsing with dreadful power.

This Ex rank skill\'s preparation time was 3 seconds, but fortunately, the Overlord Shrine would boost the skill right after Arkhen executed it, even if the skill was not prepared in time.

The forest started rumbling because all the dire beasts there sensed danger. Alas, the Infernal Star suspended in the sky dropped like a meteor at Arkhen\'s control!

Boosts!:-

-> Fire affinity, which would cause the skill\'s power to increase by 50%

-> The Overlord Shrine, which would cause the skill\'s power to increase by another 250%!

-> Small boost of EP from activating his Exo-Blood Gear Combat Art.

,m *BOOOM!!*

Extreme heat permitted the atmosphere because of the skill before large destruction ensued in the forest!

[789 reality motes gained]

Arkhen saw in the map of the forest in front of him that only 1 beast remained alive. Its dot was also blinking, indicating that it was also on the verge of death!

"Yes! I can indeed kill 4th-grade beasts," Arkhen said as he grinned from ear to ear.

"But, it will be hard to kill 4th class powerhouses and beasts who are speedy unless…" Azela said as she trailed off with a wry smile.

"Yep. Unless I trap them," Arkhen said with a nod. This skill was indeed very destructive, but it was not that fast, and anyone could see a big infernal star falling on them since the skill\'s prep time was 3 seconds.

"Welp, I will need another EX rank skill. A fast and precise one," Arkhen said with a grin.

"Young man, that was indeed a powerful attack."

Arkhen and Azela were startled as they suddenly heard a sound from behind them.

[I am sorry, my lord. I couldn\'t detect this person. I can only detect by using the power of your senses and this person…is too powerful].

...

"What?! No, I don\'t want to go there!" Meya said with wide eyes as she repeatedly shook her head. "Please, mother. Don\'t!"

"I will help Arkhen as you said, according to his plan. But you must listen to me and complete this journey," Duchess Liani said, her face showing that she wouldn\'t take no for an answer.

\'It is for your own sake, honey. The force of ascension approached sooner than expected, sigh... Although we said we would leave you and ascend, we still wish to prepare a bit for you two before leaving,\' thought Duchess Liani as she saw her daughter\'s sad and angry expression.

"Meya, sit first. I also didn\'t want to force this upon you and Gereld, but we have no choice," said Duchess Liani with a sigh. "Because of yesterday\'s battle, I couldn\'t hold back and caused the force of ascension to approach even more. Your father and I need to ascend in a month now."

"What?!"
