“Wake up now,” Aurianna heard a voice, and as she opened her eyes, she found herself staring at Vivian.

“Good, good,” Vivian began to clap, a satisfied expression on her face. “Not bad at all. It seems both of you have managed to manifest your Chaos Realm. The area range is about 20 kilometers—not bad, but it could be better. Your Realm is highly unstable since you don’t know how to control it yet.”

‘But despite that, it’s insane. How do they have a Chaos Realm without a rank?’ Vivian wondered, her expression betraying a hint of unease.

‘What’s more, I couldn’t create a realm this detailed when I was a youngling,’ Vivian admitted, her voice tinged with slight admiration.

“My body hurts,” Aurianna and Leila groaned in unison.

“Don’t worry; you’ll have to get used to it,” Vivian replied.

“I don’t think they can hear you,” Eva observed, watching as Aurianna and Leila’s pupils disappeared, leaving their eyes pitch black. Despite standing upright, they seemed unconscious.

“Looks like they lost to their Regal sides too soon,” Vivian remarked with a light laugh.

“Well, it shows that they’re weaklings,” Vivian scoffed, her gaze cold as she looked down at them. But before she could react, both girls rushed toward her, aiming to strike. Vivian effortlessly caught Aurianna’s kick and Leila’s punch, the impact destroying the land around them.

“I told you to train them, not mock them,” Eva said coldly.

“Fine, but I need to teach these two a lesson about daring to attack me. So, show me what you’ve got, you little children!”

“But I believe it’s time I got serious now,” Jade declared coldly, his golden eyes glowing.

“Anactia,” Jade commanded, and five of the same plant monsters that had attacked Aurianna earlier appeared all around the room. Aurianna’s eyes widened in shock.

“What the hell? He can make five of those monstrosities?! Shit—Gixo!” Aurianna yelled, and a shield enveloped her just before Jade snapped his fingers. The plants unleashed a massive blast, obliterating everything in the room.

All those within Gixo’s shield were blown away, caught in a whirlwind of explosions.

“Aurianna’s shield—it’s cracking!” Kiana gasped. “This is the first time it’s cracking,” she murmured, her gaze fixed on the devastation.

“Don’t worry, I can make a shield myself. But damn, Jade… that bastard. He could’ve at least tried to hold back. I want to get out of this damn prison,” Avriel grumbled, clasping her hands together to create a new shield over Gixo’s.

“That bastard… He better not kill her. But I really don’t want to fight him,” Jugi muttered, his voice betraying his cowardice.

‘So spineless for a hero,’ Kaina thought, giving him a blank stare.

‘Aurianna, please don’t die,’ Kaina prayed silently.

“Wow, I’m surprised you survived that,” Jade chuckled, staring at Aurianna.

Aurianna huffed heavily, her breath ragged as she glared at Jade. Her body was slowly regenerating, but his previous attack had left her in a horrific state. Most of her body had been obliterated, reducing her healing rate drastically and destroying the majority of her Archeons.

‘He’s strong, incredibly strong. He could wipe out half a continent with just one of those plant monsters, and he summoned five more, destroying this entire place,’ she thought, staring down to see the massive hole below them. ‘Scary, scary, scary... Damn it. My domain can only cover an area of 100 kilometers right now, and even that’s taking all my strength to maintain, even with Vivian’s training,’ Aurianna gritted her teeth, frustration and fear gnawing at her.

“Seems like I should give you more credit,” Jade remarked, watching her struggle.

“Don’t worry, because you’ll see things that will surprise you even more,” Aurianna replied with a dry laugh, forcing a grin.

‘Should I use King and Queen in this situation?’ Aurianna debated internally. ‘But that just makes me a walking target. Damn it, thinking is so complicated,’ she bit her lip, anxiety creeping in.

“I guess it’s time for my last resort before King and Queen… Chi, chi, chi, lalalalalala…”

“What’s so funny?” Jade asked, his curiosity piqued by her sudden shift in demeanor.

“Humph, I may not last the three hours you expect me to since my body is already giving out, but if I surprise you with my next attack, you have to become my subordinate!” Aurianna challenged, her expression lighting up with excitement.

“A childish wish, but I’ll humor you and agree,” Jade replied with a smile.

“Excellent!! Chi, chi, chi, I hope this skill of mine doesn’t let you down because I trained hard with my big sister!” Aurianna yelled, raising her right arm.

“White…!!!” Aurianna shouted, and a sudden pressure caused the entire Ruin to tremble. Even Jade felt uneasy under the weight of it.

“Aurianna, wait… You’re not supposed to use it in that form!” Eva yelled frantically, but Aurianna seemed oblivious to her warning.

“Hole!!” Aurianna cried out, and a massive white hole materialized, expanding rapidly as it swallowed her in before it headed toward Jade, destroying everything in its path.

Jade attempted to stop it with both hands, but as soon as his skin and bones made contact with the white hole, they began to tear apart, forcing him to retreat rapidly. But the white hole only grew larger and more destructive.

“What the hell is this power?” Jade muttered, his voice tinged with nervousness as he summoned monsters from his body to shield himself, watching helplessly as the white hole continued to expand.

“Our ruin… our ruin is being destroyed?!” the Angel of Time panicked, her voice trembling as she witnessed the Ruin disintegrating before her very eyes, consumed by the white hole’s power.

“How… how?” the Angel of the Sea echoed, her face twisted in horror.

“Damn it! The power of her white hole is even affecting her void space. This is dangerous—she can’t control it!” Eva snapped, feeling the entire void space tremble as the white hole’s power threatened to tear everything apart.

“Aurianna, stop it!” Eva shouted, her voice filled with urgency.

“I can’t! It won’t let me out!!” Aurianna yelled back, her voice trembling as she struggled to cancel the skill, but her efforts were in vain.

“What the hell?” Jugi gasped as the Ruin crumbled into nothingness. In response, Avriel quickly raised a shield to lift them above the waters, moving them far from the white hole. All they could see was a massive ball of white light, obliterating everything in its path.

“I got us out just in time,” Avriel sighed in relief, though her eyes remained wide with shock. “But what the hell is that?!”

“Aurianna’s most powerful skill at the moment: White Hole,” Zagan explained calmly.

“Well, it does look like a white hole, but I totally didn’t think it was possible for anyone to summon one,” Avriel said, her nervousness evident.

“White Hole? What does it do?” Kiana asked, confusion clear on her face.

“Oh yeah, you’re from a more medieval time, so you probably wouldn’t know much about it,” Avriel replied, glancing at Kiana.

“Can you just explain?” Kiana asked, with an irritated tone.

“White holes are like massive stars or balls of destructive energy that annihilate everything they touch—or at least, that’s how I understand it. They release unstable energy, which is somehow collected from a black hole. So, whatever a black hole consumes is converted into energy and then explodes out of a white hole. Essentially, a black hole consumes everything and turns it into nothing, while a white hole releases that energy in a destructive burst,” Avriel explained.
