Late at night.
Aengus found himself in a dilemma about whom should he accompany tonight?
On one hand, bonding between Aria and Aron was important, but on the other hand, Bella was in a sensitive period of pregnancy. She was equally needed attention.
As a solution, Aengus first accompanied Aria and Aron until their son fell asleep. Then, he went to the room next door to spend the rest of the night with Bella.

"So, hubby, you're going to the Realm of the Dead? Can you tell what that realm is like? Does reincarnation truly exist for other souls?"
Aengus caressed her hair gently.
"There's nothing special, actually. You would be absolutely bored to death. But of course, reincarnation exists for others as well. However, finding a specific soul amidst infinity is difficult—though not for your husband," he replied with a chuckle.
"Bella, do you have soone you want to bring back to life?"
Bella answered,
"No, I have no one. I'm just curious about how the Underworld works. Don't brush off with a casual answer. Tell in detail. You wouldn't take there anyway, so I deserve at least this much, for now," she demanded, her curiosity burning inside her.
Aengus sighed with a soft chuckle.
"Alright, alright, since my wife insists, I'll tell you," he said indulgently.
"The Realm of the Dead, or as so call it, the Underworld, is a vast, endless domain filled with different layers and sections. It's not just one place. It's a system, an entire plane of existence where the souls of the deceased gather from not just out primal realm, but others as well."
Bella's eyes sparkled with curiosity. "Ohh, Its hard to imagine, but go on, husband."
Aengus continued with a voice that carried ancient wisdom.
"At the lowest level, there are the Lost Souls; those who wander aimlessly, unable to reincarnate due to unresolved karma or being trapped by powerful beings. Then, there are the Judicators, who assess the worth of a soul, deciding its next fate—whether to be reborn, sent to paradise, or cast into eternal suffering."
Bella shivered ever so slightly. "Ohh..That sounds really terrifying. And what about reincarnation? Is it occurs randomly?"
In reponse, Aengus shook his head.
"Not entirely. Reincarnation follows a balance. Strong souls have a higher chance of returning with their past talents and mories, while weaker ones dissolve and start anew. But powerful figures like the Adjudicator can manipulate this process, choosing where and how a soul is reborn."
Bella frowned. "That ans… so people could be prevented from ever returning? That's unexpected."
Aengus nodded solemnly. "Exactly. That's how it works, My wife. So souls are sealed away, never to return to the cycle of life. And so... well, they're erased entirely."
"Gulp!"
"And you're going there to et the Adjudicator? Are you sure it's not a trap? You said your strength had not returned yet."
Aengus smirked. "Even if it is, who else but could confront him? Besides, he wouldn't dare. We have past history after all."
Bella just sighed in praying motion. "I hope everything goes fine, husband. You and Aria had suffered too much already.
Aengus just chuckled as pulled her into his warm embrace.

The next morning, Aron joined his newly appointed teachers in an open field to begin his Law practice.
He started from the most fundantal basics, yet even those teachings felt profound, far beyond the grasp of ordinary people.
anwhile, the Kievan Imperial Army was making preparations for the grand rger with the Celestial Empire. This union would give birth to a new, unified empire: The Pri Empire, with Aengus as its sole sovereign at the helm.
Amid these historic changes, Aengus busied himself with various trivial tasks, tying up loose ends before his imminent departure to the Underworld.
Back in the Underground Crafting City, Aengus synthesized two more Divine-Class Battleships for his army.
Not only that, but he secretly created two additional battleships using his Creation Power, expending billions of mana in the process.
The existence of these two hidden battleships was known only to the highest-ranking officials. They were ant to be deployed only in dire circumstances—a final trump card.
In total, the empire now possessed five Divine-Class Battleships, enough to sweep through entire galaxies one after another. Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire
And this was just one part of their strength.
The Celestial Empire had Divine-Class ships of their own. Once their forces were combined, the Temporals and Dark Ferals Empire wouldn't stand a chance.
Yet, despite his power, Aengus knew he couldn't give his subjects too much of an advantage.
All creations were equal in his eyes, much like his own children. They should not be treated unfairly.
He wasn't empowering them for his conquest, not anymore.
Because very soon, he would transcend this universe and beyond.
At that point, the ga of conquering would hold no aning to him; unless there was sothing beyond the Omniverse left to explore.
In his infinite years of existence, he wasn't sure if such a place even existed.
But if it did…He would like to explore it.
However before that, he would kill that entity. It wasn't just a matter of resolve, it was an absolute fact.
.....
Hours passed under the watchful eyes of many, filled with anticipation.
Finally, the mont had arrived.
As Aron practiced with his sword after drilling through the basics of Laws, suddenly, his gaze was drawn to the sky.
Beside him, Black and White also looked up, their expressions filled with a deep longing as if they truly missed the world of the living for long.
Above the Kievan continent, multiple planets appeared—almost five dozen—living, breathing planets in their visage.
They stationed in orbit, anchored through invisible chains amidst empty space.
They were filled with lifeforms, and they were extrely strong.
"They are here!" Aria muttered, with the bearing of a ruler.
Aengus, Aria, and Bella stood on the ground as they were waiting for their descent alongside his subordinates.
