Parand is undoubtedly one of the strongest tribe leaders in the Chaos Chasm. Her tribe ranks second and is perhaps the most dangerous when certain factors are taken into consideration.
They specialize in speed, and their Storm Wings allow them to harness the power of Storm Chaos.
She is an Eternal King, unlike the rest, who are all True Eternals. Her arrival alone caused everyone to behave themselves.
Zdzislav, who had initially wanted to pester Jyoti Lata, immediately backed off, knowing he couldn’t act recklessly in front of Parand.
"Thanks for the assist, Parand," Jyoti Lata said, sounding relieved that she wouldn’t have to deal with Zdzislav anymore.
"Just get stronger, and you’ll be able to shoo him away anytime. He used to bother me the same way until I became an Eternal King. After that, he backed off like the little coward he is."
Zdzislav, who had just taken a jab, simply smiled and replied, "Eternal King for now. Just give me a few million years, and I’ll be standing right beside you."
Parand smirked but said nothing, as her attention had already shifted to Kent, who was much closer to attaining a second demon body.
"Well, there’s always someone with untamed potential hiding somewhere."
She turned to Jyoti Lata and asked, "Where did you find this monster?"
Jyoti Lata smiled and replied, "He came from the Infinity Universe."
"Well, that’s unexpected, but I suppose that also explains everything about him."
She had already seen through Kent and knew he possessed more than one core, something that made her wonder just what kind of monster he truly was.
"I suppose you called us here because of him."
Jyoti Lata nodded, unsurprised that Parand had seen through her intentions.
"I am impressed already, but we’ll have to wait for Namarie and Tumenk."
A few hours into their wait, the tribe leader of the Eternal Root Chaos Tribe arrived in all her glory. She possessed emerald skin that shimmered beneath the twin suns in the sky and hair resembling glowing vines.
As a member of a race that specialized in manipulating plants, she bore a striking resemblance to the Plantkins.
She had emerald-green eyes, long verdant hair, and wooden antlers growing from her forehead.
Crystal flowers bloomed across parts of her skin, making her appear even more elegant. She was Namarie, the most harmless-looking yet most dangerous tribe leader.
Her tribe specialized in healing, but just as they could give life, they could also take it away. They were ranked seventh in the Chaos Chasm, yet everyone knew that if they ever went berserk, the consequences would be catastrophic.
After she arrived, the last tribe leader followed.
He was Tumenk, the tribe leader of the Celestial Abyss Chaos Tribe, the strongest tribe in the entire Chaos Chasm, and the most powerful tribe leader, having reached the peak of the Eternal Emperor stage.
Just like Veylan Seren, he possessed midnight-black skin covered in ever-shifting galaxy tattoos. Four enormous spiral horns rose from his forehead, looking both imposing and surprisingly elegant.
He had glowing white eyes, while floating Chaos runes orbited his massive body. Standing well over nine feet tall, his mere presence radiated overwhelming pressure.
"Jyoti Lata, it seems you’ve been hiding quite the gem within your tribe," Tumenk said as he calmly walked toward the tribe leader of the Red Bone Chaos Tribe.
"Hiding him is such a strong word, don’t you think, Tumenk?"
Tumenk smiled and shook his head. "Whatever. Now, what I’m interested in is why you called for us, Jyoti Lata. I was in the middle of something extremely important, so this had better be worth it."
Jyoti Lata nodded and was about to speak when another figure appeared.
She was an elf, judging by her pointed ears and extraordinary beauty. Unlike the others, she stood only 6’2" tall, making it obvious she wasn’t native to this world.
Everyone turned to look at her.
Thirteen billion years ago, she had fallen out of a Chaos Portal similar to the one Kent entered after shattering his Chaos Heart. However, whether it had been an accident or not, she arrived in this world.
She had arrived with the same story as many others before her. Before the portal appeared, she was in the middle of a terrifying battle, moments away from death, when a portal suddenly opened and pulled her into this place.
She was accepted in the hope that she would pass the Chaos Ascension King Trial, but she failed, just like many others.
Even so, her talent was so extraordinary that in just thirteen billion years, she had advanced from the Celestial Stage to the Real Eternal Stage, proving just how exceptional she was in this new world.
"Fiannarel, it’s good to see you again," Jyoti Lata said, greeting the elven lady.
Fiannarel smiled and was about to respond when a wave of power burst forth from the direction where Kent was cultivating.
Turning slightly, her eyes narrowed before suddenly widening.
"No way," she muttered, immediately drawing the attention of everyone gathered.
"B-Brother..."
She stared intently at Kent.
"Fiannarel, do you recognize this kid?" Veylan Seren asked, bringing her attention back to the group.
"I’m not sure, but I think he might be the person I told you about," Fiannarel replied, turning her gaze back to Kent, who was on the verge of pleting his second demon body.
"Right, the archer who could supposedly see the past and the future," Zdzislav said sarcastically.
Fiannarel simply smiled and nodded.
"He was the greatest warrior I had ever known from the day I first picked up a bow."
Her smile softened as she continued to gaze at Kent, still uncertain whether he truly was the person she had missed for so long.
"We called him the Omniscience Dao Archer... but he was also my brother. My little brother, to be precise."
The seven tribe leaders widened their eyes.
Jyoti Lata asked, "So, if what you’re saying is true, then this kid might be the reincarnation of your brother, since I doubt he was a dragon back when you were both still in the Infinity Universe."
Fiannarel, who had been so focused on the familiar aura surrounding Kent that she had ignored his draconic features, finally noticed the horns protruding from his head. Her eyes narrowed once more.
"I’m not sure, but I feel a connection with him. Until he awakens, all I can do is hope."
"Then tell us," Jyoti Lata continued, "if this kid really is your brother, what are his chances of passing the Chaos Ascension King Trial?"
At Jyoti Lata’s question, Fiannarel smiled.
"When I said the Omniscience Dao Archer was the greatest warrior I had ever known, I meant among everyone—including all seven of you."
Her smile widened.
"So you can only imagine why I still hold on to that belief even after witnessing an entirely different world here."
Fiannarel’s words drew the seven tribe leaders’ attention to Kent with renewed interest.
As though he had sensed their attention, Kent chose that exact moment to make his breakthrough.
BOOM!
A terrifying wave of power erupted from his body, blending the auras of Chaos, Blood, Evil, Ice, Fire, and Lightning into a single overwhelming force.
All seven tribe leaders felt the hairs on the backs of their necks stand on end.
Their eyes widened in disbelief.
Fiannarel clenched her fists, desperately hoping the connection she felt was real—not simply because she and Kent came from the same universe, but because she wanted her little brother to have truly returned.
