"But why? Why can't I do what I want? And why give me time to prepare? Why don't we fight right here and right now?" Axel asked his father, trying to solve his doubts.

"Do you prefer that we do it right now?" His father asked while arching an eyebrow.

"No, no, no, no, no. That's not what I meant. It is not that I disagree with that decision. I only want to know the reasons behind it." Axel rectified his words when he saw how things could turn to the worst.

"Then let it be like that. In a week, at this hour, in this room." His father said before standing up from the sofa. "Now, it's already late, so I'm going to bed because I have to work early in the morning, so whatever you decide to do around the house, do it in silence. I don't want you to wake me up."

"Good night then," Axel replied to his father.

"You too."

After his father left, Axel stood alone in the living room for a few minutes.

Things have changed a lot in less than an hour, so he would need to rearrange his priorities to prepare for the battle in a week.

It had been little since he had advanced his world to rank one, so getting to rank two in just a week was probably unrealistic. Even so, there were still many things he could do to increase his world's strength in the meanwhile.

But if he wanted to advance the most possible during this time, he would need to plan and prepare the best he could.

With that in mind, Axel left the living room and went to his bedroom, where he turned on his PC so he could search for information on the internet and write down the ideas he got.

Since he didn't have any empty slot on his world core, he would have to work with the add-ons he already had installed.

The cultivation add-on was on the verge of dividing, so adding anything to it was out of the question unless he wanted to increase the energy consumption of maintaining it together.

The energy add-on was probably the easiest to modify. Since Axel could easily add new types of energy, he could create some new ones with different characteristics compared with those he already has. That way, his cultivators would learn to use them and obtain more variety of skills and techniques.

Even so, he didn't want to add new types of energy to make that add-on advance. He also wanted to add new functionalities so it could grow in different directions, only that he still had to think about which would be those new functionalities.

The situation with the rune's add-on was complicated, as the cultivators still needed to grasp their full potential fully.

When he created the add-on, he had given them the power of drawing runes inside their seas of consciousness to create more powerful spells, but they had yet to discover that possibility. That would be enough to increase the power of his casters significantly, so for now, he decided to leave it alone until they used its total capacity.

As for the Heaven add-on, there were a few ways he could improve it.

One of them was the idea of giving more power to the cults through it. While Sacro and the three tribes had their chosen ones, the cults could have a way to gain the favor of the superior entity behind them so they would benefit from it.

With a list of a few ideas about how to tune up his add-ons, Axel left the PC and lay on his bed before concentrating on seeing his inner world.

Axel began to talk once the landscape of his world was in front of him.

"Heaven, stop every defensive preparation. We still have a week until the fight, so we will need to work to get the world in shape for it." Axel said.

"I will notify the various groups that they can return to their usual activities then," Heaven replied.

"Perfect. Now, please show me the data of the top one hundred creatures inside the world. If there is any specie of magical beast that appears multiple times on the list, show me only the strongest and let me know that there are others with similar power." Axel explained.

"As you wish," Heaven replied.

"Now, it's time to work," Axel said as he read the thousand light screens that appeared before him.
