321: Universal Orbs, Talking with Kaelios about the Chosen Games","awakening-reincarnating-with-the-sss-level-extra-chapter-321",321,"\u003Cp>Now that he had used the [Skill Creator Scroll] to craft a new Forbidden Skill, [Universal Orbs], Alex had significantly reduced the number of skills in his arsenal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quick glance at his updated skill list confirmed it:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Skills: Poison Resistance (Passive), Aura of Death (Undead Skill), Aura (Passive), All Elements Fox Summons (Max-Tier), Bleeding Dragon Claws (Max-Tier), Hatred's Fury, Celestial Judgment (Max-Tier), Flames of Oblivion (Max-Tier), Universal Orbs (Max-Tier)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That left him with just five skills he could actively use in combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good enough,\" Alex nodded to himself, \"This should be enough to handle most beings... even gods.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite losing many of his previous skills, he didn't feel weaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anything, this refinement made him more focused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already reached a point where sheer quantity wasn't what determined strength, mastery was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he was confident that the skills he had kept were more than enough to deal with anything thrown his way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that settled, it was finally time to meet Kaelios.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God of Destiny had requested his presence, and Alex had no reason to delay it any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening his [World Map], he navigated to the Domain section.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two locations were listed there:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Garden of Destiny] and [Abyss].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex's eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The Abyss?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was still there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That made no sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had personally destroyed it, watched the very surface it had once been connected to collapse in on itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There shouldn't be anything left of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Weird...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His curiosity flared for a moment, but he quickly dismissed the thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teleporting to a place that no longer existed sounded like the fastest way to get himself killed, or worse, trapped in some void where no one could reach him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had the [Crown of Calamity], but even then, taking risks like these was idiotic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking his head, Alex tapped on [Garden of Destiny], initiating the teleportation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment his surroundings shifted, he felt his feet touch the soft, grassy ground of Kaelios' domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm back~\" he grinned, scanning his surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The familiar sight of the Garden of Destiny stretched out before him, a large expanse of vibrant greenery, with a single stone pathway leading to the towering structure in the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air carried the faint scent of flowers, and the atmosphere was as serene as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex followed the path, his footsteps light against the polished stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had walked this path before, and as expected, the moment he neared the structure, he spotted Kaelios resting on his usual hammock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time… something was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaelios wasn't simply lounging around like he usually did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Alex got within twenty meters...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally,\" Kaelios grinned, snapping his fingers as he floated up from the hammock thanks to his four wings, \"I was waiting for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My bad, I had things to do,\" Alex shrugged. \"You said you wanted to talk—\" Experience exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was as far as he got.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because as soon as he laid eyes on Alex, Kaelios' grin vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes widened in shock, his body stiffening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, in an instant—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Destiny Swords!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky above them flared with golden light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two massive swords, each nearly two meters in length, descended from the heavens with terrifying speed, crashing through the structure's ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They landed directly in Kaelios' hands, causing a shockwave of divine energy to ripple outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The swords gleamed brilliantly, their golden edges shifting like liquid metal, moving in hypnotic waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their hilts pulsed with an aura so dense that the very air trembled under its weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Alex could react, one of the swords was pointed directly at his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Are you okay?\" Alex took a cautious step back, his expression unreadable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaelios didn't respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His grip on the swords tightened, his gaze locked onto Alex like he was looking at a complete stranger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, the tension shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaelios' aura rapidly calmed, the overwhelming divine pressure dissipating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed, lowering his arms as the golden swords dropped, their impact sending another small shockwave through the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shit, human…\" Kaelios muttered, shaking his head, \"Something weird just happened. The second I looked at you, it was like… a demonic aura completely engulfed you. I didn't even recognize you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not only that,\" Kaelios exhaled sharply, rubbing his temple, \"but for some reason… I didn't get the notification that you entered my domain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex frowned, \"Isn't your domain supposed to be impossible to enter without your permission?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is,\" Kaelios gave him a long, unreadable stare before shaking his head, \"Never mind. Let's talk about what I actually called you here for.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a snap of his fingers, reality itself shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two chairs appeared in the air, facing each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex sat in one, and Kaelios took the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll get straight to the point,\" Kaelios said, his voice turning serious, \"It's about the [Chosen Games].\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex expected as much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already heard from Varyn in the Abyss that now that every god had chosen their champion, the Chosen Games were about to begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A battle where only one would remain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You talked about a previous life,\" Kaelios continued, summoning a series of floating golden panels in the air to illustrate his words, \"So I assume the Chosen Games didn't happen before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wouldn't know,\" Alex admitted. \"I never even heard of them back then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaelios nodded, \"No, they didn't. And I can tell you why.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A new golden panel appeared, displaying an image of Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The view zoomed in, revealing a world ravaged by destruction, burned-out cities, crumbling nations, entire landscapes reduced to wastelands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Chosen Games are a world-scale event.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The moment they begin, the information will be broadcast across every single world we've conquered… including Earth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaelios smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An event with over 50 billion spectators.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex's expression darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Twenty-five worlds,\" Kaelios continued, \"and in each one, the gods selected the strongest among them. That's how they chose their Chosen Ones. Of course, as you already know, I simply… didn't choose anyone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, his smirk fading slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And that is why the Games never started before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The rules state that the Games cannot begin until all gods have a champion, but now that I've chosen you…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaelios snapped his fingers again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A timer appeared before Alex's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Time until Chosen Games:]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[1 Month, 24 Days, 2 Hours, 38 Minutes...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex's fists clenched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They're imminent,\" Kaelios confirmed. \"And as you can see, they begin at the exact moment when the gods and monsters of Universal Descent are supposed to descend upon your world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...This is insane.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's one way to put it,\" Kaelios chuckled, \"But it might not be entirely bad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How so?\" Alex asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, instead of pure chaos breaking out the moment they arrive, the Chosen Games will provide structure as no monsters nor gods will be able to enter… for a while, at least.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another panel appeared beneath the timer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It displayed twenty shadowed figures, the gods themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only two of them were fully revealed: Varyn, the God of the Abyss, his portrait crossed out, since he was dead, and Kaelios himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest were nothing but ominous silhouettes, their eyes glowing faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These are our enemies,\" Kaelios muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For once, he had dropped his usual carefree demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression was cold, calculating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's time I explained the rules of the Chosen Games.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex felt the air shift around them. The weight of what was coming pressed down on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real battle was about to begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this time, there was no running from it.\u003C\u002Fp>",1256,"2026-06-03T12:12:47.112Z","2026-06-03T12:12:55.153Z",1,"novelbin.me","9e6d289affeedab917af343f9b9cc054eb764c591412b7694e544a34a9c28b16","awakening-reincarnating-with-the-sss-level-extra-chapter-322","awakening-reincarnating-with-the-sss-level-extra-chapter-501",516,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fawakening-reincarnating-with-the-sss-level-extra-cover.jpg"]
