The weeping soul Serpent Emperor howled in despair as it drowned and burned in a pool of molten magma.
But it was all futile.
Aiden saw this tragic sight and smiled as he stretched forth his hand, pressing it against the back of the snake's head.
With that, the deep purple flas began to burn through the snake's scales and flesh, tearing it apart like they were just flimsy pieces of paper before Aiden violently tore its head off its neck and threw it to the side.
The blood didn't even get a chance to splatter before it quickly boiled into a large crimson mist that seed to circle around Aiden like the embrace of the devil.
Crushing and torturing that annoying beast that had humiliated him for so long brought an unmatched sense of satisfaction to Aiden.
But Aiden didn't get the chance to admire this feeling for long before he felt so changes in his body.
The second Aiden took off the monster's head, he felt the divinity inside him begin to bubble.
All of a sudden, deep inside of him, Aiden felt shackles that represented his mortality and human limits begin to shake and weaken.
A familiar screen appeared in front of his eyes as Aiden smiled.
[You have completed an unprecedented feat!]
[You have slain a beast Emperor above your rank.]
[Your divinity is boiling!]
But just as Aiden's divinity was reaching its zenith, the screen in front of Aiden cracked.
[Error… Error… Ember of creation is being corrupted!]
[Resisting corruption… Resistance…]
[Linking your inner fla… link blocked.]
[Seeking Divine Intervention…]
[Do you want to proceed with divine intervention from the gods? The gods will pay attention to your unprecedented achievent!]
The temptation to seek was unimaginable.
The cells throughout Aiden's body seed to be screaming for him to go ahead and break that divine shackle.
But sohow, when Aiden heard this notification, he soon ca to his senses.
He didn't know why, but a sudden thought, sothing akin to a murky whisper, began to grow inside Aiden's heart.
'If I am seen by the gods in this state, I won't have a good end.'
The second this thought grew in his heart, Aiden only seed to beco more and more certain of that fact.
The temptation of increasing in rank was unimaginable, but Aiden still managed to control his greed and mumbled:
'I refuse.'
Aiden's thoughts were simple.
He didn't want to take risks.
Although the flas of chaos were bringing an urge for him to do nothing more than bathe the world in endless fla, it was this sa desire that kept him sober right now.
The gods were so powerful that they could eliminate him with an accidental sneeze if he was unlucky enough.
If he was wiped from the face of the earth…
What would burn?
What would turn to ash?
What would be bathed in flas?
Ironically enough, his endless desire for destruction was the sa thing that triggered his preservation instincts at this mont.
[Ascension Failed. Your glorious feat is dissipating…]
As those words appeared, he could feel the receding divinity inside of his body start to cool down.
And the shackles of divinity began tightening around his being, restricting his rank to the peak of the first rank.
All around him, Aiden felt a strange rumble in the air as so strange, imperceptible rules dissipated from his presence.
Aiden knew instantly that his chance at ranking up had completely slipped from his grasp.
But now that he was down here, he couldn't be bothered crawling through the tunnels and finding a way back up.
He stretched forth his hand towards the roof as purple flas rushed toward him, causing the space to tremble.
Boom!
A terrifying beam of concentrated purple flas shot towards the sky and shook the realm.
All throughout the realm of the world, in regions of the mountain forest, a beacon of horrifying purple flas burst forth into the sky as if it were trying to reach the heavens themselves.
The air around him instantly began to heat up as any plants or wildlife unfortunate enough to be within a kiloter radius of the beam were instantly turned into ash!
With his exit in front of him, Aiden didn't waste another second and made his way out.
Stepping first, a cloud of purple flas gathered beneath Aiden's feet, allowing him to fly out of the underground cavern and see the surface again.
Only a few seconds after Aiden exited the caverns, the hole he made began to crumble in and collapse on itself.
Aiden paid no attention to this and continued forward.
He calmly stepped onto the surface, but the chaotic desire in his eyes was still burning just as brightly. However, as he stepped forward, he suddenly felt a horrible pain jolt through his body.
'No! What is this!'
Looking inward, Aiden was surprised to find that all of his divinity had simply been burned away!

If Aiden had taken the opportunity to advance, things might have been different, but now he was completely dry.
The thing Aiden had been using to fuel these terrifying, chaotic flas was never the puny divinity of a rank 1 being.
How could that support the true fla of such a chaotic being?
No, what Aiden had been running on was re whispers of the chaotic being from his awakening as fuel for his flas.
Now that those whispers had faded, so did the power that ca with it.
Aiden realized what had happened in re monts and cursed his luck.
His body was already falling toward the ground, his mind growing dark.
Aiden's only regret was that he couldn't see more of the world burn in the bright purple glow of his flas.
...
When Aiden woke up, he found himself looking up at a pure, blank, white ceiling.
His mind was a foggy ss.
He rembered leaving behind Oliver and Raelia.
He rembered almost dying to the swarm of snakes.
He even rembered the strange changes to his ember of creation and even the...
