Aiden nodded, deep in thought. "I need to prioritize the worlds that are closest to each other. Ti is of the essence."
The Ascender understood the urgency in Aiden's voice. "I suggest starting with these worlds," he said, highlighting the closest ones. "Once you've gathered what you need there, you can plan your next move accordingly."
"Thank you," Aiden said, rising from his seat. "Here is the pay"
Aiden paid him the amount of immortal stones they have agreed earlier, The Ascender employ accepted the paynt as he smiled back.
The Ascender nodded, a slight smile on his face. "If you need any further assistance, the Ascender Association is here to help. Good luck on your journey."
Aiden nodded as he left the Ascender Association and made his way back to the apartnt. Upon entering, he found Nexus gazing out the window, her celestial presence adding a serene glow to the room. Myne, on the other hand, was casually flipping through an ancient scroll, seemingly absorbed in its contents.
"I got the information we needed," Aiden announced, his voice steady. "So, would you like to leave now, or do you want to explore and enjoy this city a bit more?"
Nexus turned from the window, her eyes reflecting a soft curiosity. [If you can, I'd like to see more of this city,] she responded, her voice carrying a hint of anticipation.
Myne, without looking up from her scroll, added with a smile, " too. I'd also like to explore a bit more. I even have yet to go out of this small place."
Aiden nodded in agreent, seeing no harm in indulging their requests. "Alright then," he said with a slight smile. "We can take our ti. There's no rush."
For the next few months, the trio thoroughly explored the city. They wandered through bustling markets filled with exotic goods and rare treasures, visited towering monunts and ancient temples that held the echoes of forgotten eras, and even dined at the finest establishnts, sampling delicacies from across the realms.
Nexus seed particularly interested in the celestial observatory, where they watched the stars and constellations align in patterns unique to this world. Myne, anwhile, found herself drawn to the ancient libraries and art galleries, imrsing herself in the rich culture and history that the city had to offer.
Aiden, although focused on his mission, allowed himself to relax and enjoy these monts with them.
Soon the day co for the destined departure from hi city.
Sitting in the carriage, they glanced back at the city gate, watching it fade into the distance as they left the city behind. The mories of their ti spent there lingered in the air, a mix of adventure and calm monts that now felt like a distant dream.
"I'm going to miss it," Myne said softly, her eyes still fixed on the gate.
[We literally explored the whole city. What else is there to miss?] Nexus rolled her eyes, her tone a mix of exasperation and amusent.
Myne shrugged, a small smile playing on her lips. "Maybe it's the vibe, the atmosphere... or just the fact that we had a break from all the chaos."
Nexus crossed her arms, trying to maintain her usual serious deanor but finding it hard to disagree. [Fine, maybe it was nice to have so downti. But now, we have more important things to focus on.]
Aiden, sitting between them, chuckled lightly at their exchange. "We'll carry those mories with us. But you're right, Nexus. It's ti to move forward."
The carriage rumbled along the road, taking them further away from the city and deeper into the unknown.
whiny whiny
Suddenly a white Fox ca out and sat at the lap of Aiden, she looked around curiously seeing them moving she went and sat with Nexus who was sitting near the Wndow.
nexus welcod her as she pats her head and rubbed it.
Selene enjoyed it as she purred.
"She is as abnormal as one can be" Myne looked at the white fox and said.
Aiden nodded as no one can ca out of the Celestial Beast Paradise without Aiden approval , yet here Selene coming out of her own as if she owns the world.
"Well, her birth itself was not possible, But here she is" Aiden shrugged already knowing her prowess.
he looked back at the day when he got to know how over powered Selene is.
A few months ago, the atmosphere in the city had taken a tense turn after Aiden and Nexus had nearly beaten a young master senseless. The young master, arrogant and vengeful, returned one day, this ti with his father—a formidable Immortal Ancestor level powerhouse, whose presence alone made the air around them feel heavy and oppressive.
"So, it's you who dared to lay a hand on my son?" the father sneered, his eyes cold as they bore into Aiden, Nexus, and Myne. With a simple gesture, he unleashed his Immortal pressure upon them, the sheer weight of his power crashing down like a tidal wave.
Aiden gritted his teeth, muscles tensing as he struggled to withstand the imnse pressure. Sweat beaded on his forehead, but he refused to back down. Nexus and Myne, on the other hand, despite their strength, found themselves overwheld. They collapsed to the ground, unable to bear the crushing force of the Immortal Ancestor's aura.
Liam, the young master, stood off to the side, a smug grin plastered across his face as he watched the scene unfold. "Now, bitches," he taunted, his voice dripping with arrogance, "still dare to ignore ? Let's see you act tough now."
The Immortal Ancestor's eyes narrowed as he observed the struggle. "You think you can challenge ? You're not even worth my ti." His voice was filled with disdain, as if swatting away a fly. He took a step forward, and the pressure intensified, causing the ground beneath them to crack.
Aiden's vision blurred, but he refused to bow. His mind raced as he considered his options, knowing that any direct confrontation would be futile against such overwhelming power. He needed to think of a way out—fast.
Just as the situation seed hopeless, a soft, yet powerful sound echoed through the air, cutting through the Immortal Ancestor's pressure as if it were nothing.
Whinny... whinny...
Suddenly, Selene, the Celestial Spirit Beast, materialized out of thin air from the Celestial Spirit Beast's Paradise. Her majestic form shimred with divine energy, her very presence radiating an otherworldly grace. She trotted over gracefully to Nexus and Myne, who were both injured from the pressure.
Selene gently licked their wounds, and a calming energy flowed from her, healing their injuries with surprising ease. Nexus and Myne both felt an instant wave of relief wash over them.
Selene then turned her attention to Aiden. Noticing his slight injuries and fatigue from holding off the Immortal Ancestor's oppressive force, she nuzzled him affectionately. Aiden, though stunned by her sudden appearance, felt her warm and soothing aura nd his strength almost instantly.
After tending to Aiden, Selene's eyes shifted, her gaze turning icy cold as she fixed it on the Immortal Ancestor. The pressure in the air shifted dramatically, but this ti it wasn't the Immortal Ancestor who was exerting his will—it was Selene.
The Immortal Ancestor, who monts ago had dominated the room with his presence, was now on the ground, trembling uncontrollably. His eyes were wide with shock and terror. His Immortal might ant nothing against the overwhelming Divine pressure that Selene emitted.
"What... what is this...?" he cried inwardly, panic filling every corner of his mind. His body felt as though it was being crushed under a mountain. No matter how hard he tried to move, his limbs refused to respond. His power, which once dwarfed everything around him, was completely insignificant in the face of the Celestial Spirit Beast's divine aura.
Liam, still standing beside his father monts ago, was now frozen in fear, the smugness draining from his face. He watched as his invincible father lay helpless before Selene's might, and it shook him to his core.
Selene snorted softly, her divine energy suffocating the Immortal Ancestor, making it clear that she was the dominant force here. The room filled with silence as the realization settled over them—there was no escape from her judgnt.
"Stand down," Aiden's calm voice echoed through the air, breaking the tense silence.
The Immortal Ancestor, gasping for air, stared at Aiden in disbelief. How could this boy command such a being? His pride had been shattered, and he could no longer muster any resistance.
"now , tell what should I do with you?" Aiden asked as he ca near Selene and picked her up gently as he put her on his shoulder,
Selene on the other hand didn't left her gaze from the Immortal Ancestor, she kept pressuring him with the power of laws.
Aiden on the other hand kept looking at him coldly, Immortal Ancestor seeing this understood there is no chance of leaving here alive.
