So much has happened—But like all things, this story, too, must co to an end.
From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank every single one of you who stuck with until now. I'm genuinely humbled and deeply grateful for the journey we shared together.

Roy didn't waste words. He pulled Lumine close, wrapping an arm around her waist, and casually flicked Paimon away, sending her back to wherever she ca from.
"Let's go—Lumine. I'll tell you about your brother..."
"Mmm..." Lumine's face flushed. It was the first ti soone other than her brother had touched her so intimately.
She tried to pull away, rembering her promise to be his girlfriend and her desire to learn about her brother. So—she reluctantly allowed him to hold her.
Roy smirked, his hand wandering a bit too—freely.
Lumine stopped his hand, her cheeks flushed. "Can you tell now?"
"Of course. But...we need a more—private setting. This isn't the place for such a conversation." Roy led her towards the room the Knights had provided for him.
Lisa, watching them leave, sighed.
"Lisa, perhaps you should tell about him now." Jean had approached Lisa unnoticed, having witnessed Roy's actions. While she had initially been swayed by Lisa's words, considering giving Roy a chance—
His behavior had changed her mind.
But she wasn't going to interfere. Lumine had made her own choice.
She simply wanted to know more about Roy from Lisa.
Lisa sighed. There was no point in hiding it any longer. Jean clearly disapproved of Roy.
Convincing her to beco his...wife willingly was now impossible.
She had to tell Jean everything.
She just hoped Jean wouldn't do anything rash.
———
A mont later—
"A Demon Lord from another world? He wants to rule Teyvat?" Jean's brow furrowed as she listened to Lisa's explanation.
"That's right. He initially—wanted you to be his wife. If you refused..." Lisa had almost ntioned the Charm, but she decided against it.
"What would happen?" Jean asked.
"He would destroy Mondstadt," Lisa sighed.
"I see. That's why you've been defending him." Jean finally understood. That was why Lisa had been praising Roy so much.
This was a matter of Mondstadt's survival. She had to take it seriously.
And based on how easily he had frozen and then healed Stormterror—even turning the dragon into a miniature pet—the title "Demon Lord" was likely accurate.
He truly possessed the power to control Teyvat.
Perhaps even the Seven Archons were no match for him.
What should she do?
Lisa, seeing her lost in thought, didn't interrupt. This was a disaster for Mondstadt.
Unfortunately, Barbatos was nowhere to be found. And even if she appeared, would she be able to defeat this Demon Lord?
Furthermore...Lisa didn't want Roy to lose. She was already his woman.
She sighed.
She didn't know that their Archon had already been—conquered.

anwhile—
Roy, as promised, was telling Lumine about her brother, Aether.
But halfway through the story, Lumine was already unresponsive.
Roy, seeing this, decided to continue tomorrow.
———
The next morning—
Roy smirked, looking at Lumine sleeping peacefully in his arms.
She was delightful.
Now that he had claid Lumine, he couldn't neglect her brother, Aether.
Of course, he wouldn't find Aether imdiately. Traveling through the seven nations with Lumine, flirting with the local beauties, and then looking for Aether sounded much more appealing.
And he wasn't leaving Mondstadt just yet. There were still a few unconquered territories.
As he was planning his journey through Teyvat, his conquest of Keqing, Raiden Shogun, and Yae Miko—
He felt a surge of power.
Is that Shiroyasha?
He had instructed her to reclaim her Divinity and return to Solaric-tier. It seed she had finally succeeded.
It looks like my Teyvat journey will have to wait. Roy looked at Lumine, a thoughtful expression on his face.
———
Little Garden, Outer Gates—
Arcadia Headquarters—
Roy, having just returned, felt his power surging at an incredible rate, the imnse energy affecting all of Little Garden.
Rumble!
Shiroyasha—having reclaid her Divinity and returned to Solaric-tier, caused Roy's power to surge as well, thanks to their Devil contract. He was about to beco a Solaric-tier being himself.
"What's happening?" Black Rabbit, Rias, Tohru, Saeko, and the others looked up at the sky, shocked by the imnse power emanating from Roy.
A tall figure appeared beside him.
"Who's that?" Black Rabbit gasped, her eyes wide with disbelief.
"Is she an enemy? Should we attack?" Saeko asked, her hand instinctively reaching for her sword.
"No! That's Shiroyasha!"
The tall, elegant, and imposing figure beside Roy was indeed Shiroyasha, transford back into her true, adult form after reclaiming her Divinity. She looked at Roy with interest.
"I see. So, by returning to Solaric-tier, I've inadvertently boosted his power as well? How...interesting..." Shiroyasha was intrigued. What secret was Roy hiding?
He had bypassed Little Garden's rules and reached Solaric-tier.
She suspected his power was at least on par with—if not greater than—Little Garden's.
Then, sothing even more shocking happened.
The Simulated Star Creation Map in Roy's hand unfolded.
"Is that—a Simulated Star Creation Map?"
Shiroyasha, of course, recognized the artifact. Possessing it ant unlimited possibilities. This partially explained Roy's rapid power growth.
But it also raised even more questions.
The imnse power radiating from Roy attracted the attention of all of Little Garden.
Even powerful Stellar-level beings—Zeus from Greek mythology, Odin from Norse mythology, Indra, and the Halloween Queen—gathered to witness the event.
A Solaric-level Ascension in Little Garden was a rare and significant event. Normally, they would have intervened, preventing such a disruption to the established order.
But seeing Shiroyasha standing beside Roy, they hesitated.
Within monts, Roy's transformation was complete. He had reached Solaric-level—the realm of Semi-Omniscience and Omnipotence.
He was now one of the strongest beings in Little Garden.
With Aži Dahāka still slumbering, he could practically do as he pleased.
Roy looked at the Halloween Queen, a predatory glint in his eyes. His next goal was to gather more servants and prepare for his ascension to Cosmic-tier—
And his journey through Teyvat had only just begun.
...
The End.
