Arius sat on his skull throne with an emotionless face and dead eyes as he viewed the death king who was absorbing any life force he could grasp.
In a couple of mile radius, every life was dried to the brink leaving nothing but darkness and depression.
Seeing every soldier and mage killed Arius couldn't help but sigh in relief.
Knowing the people who wanted to harm him and his loved ones were dismissed from this world made him relax a little.
He knew though he had to revert back to his past self to make sure everything that was precious to him would be safe.
He knew what he had to do to make sure he would be able to protect them.
"Supreme system," Arius spoke inside his head.
[Yes host?]
"I want to remove the system's powers and train with the little divine energy I will be allowed to possess. I want to become strong off my own powers instead of having an overpowered system." Arius's words were like a metal hammer crushing the logic of the world.
[...]
"Will I be allowed to possess divine energy?" Arius asked.
[Host no human has ever been granted divine energy...]
"I don't care, I want to become strong off my own self-sacrifice instead of relying on a system." Arius talked with a dead smile.
[Why? You are the most powerful human in this world?]
"That's exactly the reason 'in this world' not other worlds will I be overpowered and able to protect myself or anyone I love. I know you have a cap on my power of growth. When you said I had unlimited growth I know that it only applied to this world am I correct?" Arius rubbed his head while he spoke his mind.
[That is correct, your unlimited growth can't reach other worlds, for example cultivation universes you would be looked down on like a piece of trash if you were to be sent over or end up there..]
"Exactly they can ascend to become gods and other deities but I can't. I will have a cap on my power where I will not be able to grow more than a demi-human am I correct?"
[You are correct...]
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Let me talk to Violet." Arius talked calmly.
With these words, the Supreme system began to make a small buzzing sound.
[Yes?]
Violet's voice could be heard on the other side.
"I think you know why I requested you?" Arius asked.
[…]
Silence...
"Violet, I need an answer," Arius spoke with a hint of coldness.
[I will allow it...]
After some time Violet responded giving the OK to grant him divine energy.
[You do know once I get rid of your system you will never be allowed to have it back?]
Violent warned with a serious tone.
"I know I'm doing this to become stronger, I don't want to be capped," Arius responded with a monotone voice.
With Arius agreeing Violet began to open her left hand causing a tiny light to shine which looked like a tiny golden human.
She gently grabbed onto the head of the tiny golden human and pulled a rainbow-colored board.
After removing the Supreme system she put out her right hand and summoned a drop of golden blood which was as bright as the sun and much more golden than gold.
She inserted divine energy into his blood system.
[I removed the Supreme system from you and inserted divine energy any second now you should feel the changes form in your body one last thing before I leave. I hope I get to see you in the future as a fellow god...]
With Violet's final words her voice disappeared from Arius's head.
The divine energy began to course through Arius's body causing him to stumble backward in pain.
"What the fuck is this pain?" Arius asked himself, feeling his body heat up rapidly.
Golden lines began to outline all over his small body.
His left eye turned golden.
The next second later a sharp pain pierced his brain and heart.
Clenching his chest for the first time Arius felt like he was dying.
His vision became blurry and he started to lose consciousness.
His body that was sitting on the skull throne fell to the ground lifelessly.
His entire world went dark.
"Wake up boy."
A mysterious voice that was filled with calmness echoed throughout Arius's ears.
Arius's eyes began to slowly open to see where the voice was coming from.
Having opened his eyes he found himself on a floating mountain that oversaw thousands of planets.
Standing up slowly Arius looked around in confusion. "Where am I?" He asked himself.
"Boy, you are in my world." The same mysterious voice from earlier resonated throughout the floating mountain.
Arius looked around but couldn't find where the voice was coming from.
"Who are you?" Arius mumbled.
"Who am I? I am the creator of the order of worlds, the ruler of gods and goddesses, the inventor of human galaxy systems. I oversee every planet, world, space, and many more. My name is Blank." His voice held a spiritual aura that could make anyone bow at his voice alone.
Arius was taken back with disbelief.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe was in contact with the creator of everything.
The deity or not even a deity, a thing above even the gods that oversaw everything was talking to him for some reason.
"May I know why you have summoned me here?" Arius asked genuinely, wondering if he was in hot water or if he was gonna be fine.
"Why? Well, you are the first human to take upon my mark..." The mysterious voice answered.
"Huh..." Arius felt like his head was gonna explode.

The Lagoon Empire crystal room.
Inside a room that was painted white and had no furniture in sight only having a giant green crystal in the middle of the room that showed 15 males and 7 females all sitting silently.
The mermaid queen looked upon the other 21 rulers of their respective nations and began to speak. "My husband and I have called upon this international meeting to discuss what occurred on the blue screen in the sky."
Every ruler nodded their head indicating they were listening.
"What we saw was a display of power, not even the Han Dynasty could even touch. Whoever this little boy is will one hundred percent be a threat if allowed to roam the world any thoughts?" The mermaid queen asked.
Beep.
A beeping sound resounded throughout the call.
A woman in her late 30s who had long red hair and a voluptuous body began to speak "Instead of assuming this person is a threat, what about talking with him first?" She spoke her thoughts.
Beep.
A man who had long blond hair and a slim body began to speak. "I agree with the queen of the Solar Dynasty. We should try and make contact first before making a decision to act hostile." He agreed with the woman.
Listening to these two rulers from powerful nations the mermaid queen nodded her head in agreement. "I agree we should not act hostile and approach in a civil manner. Does anyone have any thoughts?" The mermaid queen looked around the call.
No ruler spoke up instead all nodded their heads in agreement with being civil before becoming hostile to this unknown being.
Seeing everyone in agreement the mermaid queen sighed. "That will be all I look forward to seeing each and every one of you at the divine festival." She spoke ending the call.
The mermaid queen swam backward a little before rubbing her head. "I hope to god this unknown being is friendly and not hostile."
