All around the Universe
The moment the Primordial System Notification is sent out to every user within the System, it’s as if time has completely stopped for that brief moment. Then all hell breaks loose as everything happens all at once.
Those who had no hope in the two Successors to actually achieve victory in this Unique Domain immediately begin following both of the Successors while discussing what will happen on Val. Meanwhile those from Val who had written them off already quickly begin to change their plans after an even longer period of shock. Readying everything for their return to Val.
The allies that were made by the Successor of Chaos begin their preparations to meet Ashley when she leaves the Unique Domain that is starting to crumble, and the enemies grow cold in their fear of the new Unique Being that they have already declared as their enemy.
But unlike the majority of the populace, the Primordials all let out a collective sigh of relief when Chaos immediately stops showing Erebos any attention and focuses everything on the livestream. Calming down the very instant the notifications were sent out and finally letting Erebos leave, even if it is now as an enemy.
On Val itself, every single person living inside of the domain covered by Ashley’s spire let out cries of relief as the guillotine hanging over their heads in the form of the Unique Monster is finally removed. And many of them even begin cheering out Ashley’s name as their savior.
But no matter where they are, everyone thinks the same thing as they look at Ashley sitting on the volcanic ground while panting in exhaustion and with her clothes looking disheveled.
As they look into her new eyes.
Eyes that used to be pure orbs of crimson light mixed with magma but are now slits of the same. Except with a single point of white in the center that flashes with a faint black shimmer whenever her eyes meet something. Making whatever she looks at begin to glow with even more crimson cracks than before.
Everyone realizes full well that she now has a True Damage dealing skill.
Despite only being Class E.
The very first Class E in existence to have a True Damage skill.

A Tower on Val
The Black Enforcer finds himself staring blankly at the livestream with relief as he sits behind his office desk, unable to move a muscle. Just feeling too relieved to move. And he sees his wife in a similar position on the guest seats further away from his desk.
Neither of them can say a word for several minutes.
Sebastian was even sure at multiple points throughout Ashley’s battle with the King of Destruction that he was going to have a heart attack. Just out of worry.
But he didn’t. And his twin daughter and son are both still alive and well.
He smiles as he looks between the two livestreams in front of him. One showing his daughter and one his son.
Neither of whom seem too injured to move.
After a few more minutes of silence, he finally opens the System Forums to see how the universe is responding. At a very popular forum meant for national discussions where only high ranking members of society can even look at it. And where all members are required to hold anonymous usernames to keep anonymity.
Even Sebastian is only able to look at it thanks to his position on Val and his alliance with the guilds.
And the very first thing he sees is the forums blowing up with messages of all kinds as everyone in the universe goes wild.

Sebastian blinks before frowning in confusion.
What’s a Lucy? And I understand that there are a lot of young successors in this forum thread, but where are the adults? Or does everyone outside of our planet just talk like that nowadays?
His frown grows for a second, only for him to shake his head and ring the bell on his desk. Calling for his assistant to enter the room.
For now I need to get things ready for her return.

Within the Successor of Sin’s System Hub
“Is that true?” Vlarch de Vera asks as the woman lounges around on a large chair amidst the dozens of other Successors of Sin. Each of whom are currently expressing different Sins in their eyes, just like how their Primordial’s eyes who his Sins.
“Yes, Vlarch,” the highest level Successor of Sin amongst them, Artemir VerMere, states, his voice echoing around the hub. “We are now at war with the Successor of Chaos and the Successors of Magic.” The man with stark white skin and several tattoos moving across his skin floats up into the air and sweeps his arm out as he declares, “All Successors of Sin who are in Class E and Class D, prepare for combat with the Successors of Chaos and Magic! Everyone else, prepare to combat the Successors of Magic in the higher Classes!”
Reactions of all kinds ring out from the many Successors of Sin gathered in the hub.
Some let out cat calls at the thought of meeting the beautiful Successor of Chaos. Others of whom have no humanoid form growl out their pleasure at being able to fight with the latest Successor of Magic.
Some shout out their joy at the chance to fight a Unique Being, and others begin crying at the harsh job they find ahead of them.
But no matter who they are or which nation they’re from, each of the Successors of Sin submit to the order given to them by their Primordial.
Because that’s how the Primordial System works.
And what it means to be a Successor.
Except for the one exception that is the Successor of Chaos.
Now known as the Queen of Destruction.
