Chapter 1953: Evolution! Becoming A Cosmic Monarch!

-----

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

Camael’s blazing hands and swords shattered into pieces as Maria drove her titanic sword deeper into his body and soul.

The Archangel desperately tried to scatter into a different form of energy or teleport away, but he quickly realized that access to most of his abilities had been sealed.

"T-This diabolic sword!"

Inside the sword piercing his body—a blade the size of a small planet, he witnessed visions of ninety different worlds and billions upon billions of lives. All of them, good and evil alike, shared one desperate hope: that their worlds would be saved from being devoured, and that their lives would not end prematurely at the hands of a mad creator god. They no longer wanted the tower to decide their fate.

"Nnngh...! No...! I can’t die here...! Brothers...! Father! Save me! Save meeeee!"

Camael screamed as thousands of starlight swords pierced his entire body, leaving him utterly immobilized.

Then Maria expanded her starlight void across every inch of his form.

"FATHEEEEERR!"

Screaming and sobbing in horror and agony, Camael was consumed by the black void and starlight, vanishing completely.

"Let’s do this."

Maria used Camael’s body and soul as the Celestial Grade Material she needed for her next evolution.

Floor 90 trembled violently.

As she revived all those who had died in the aftermath and teleported them into her Soul Realm, Maria fully assimilated the Tenfold Realm. She appeared inside it with her entire family, who gazed in awe at the Great Beyond—her ever-expanding Soul Realm.

Within her, her entire being began to blossom. She transformed into a gigantic, planet-sized lotus, its black and white petals spreading endlessly, constantly unfolding and growing larger.

From the center of the lotus, a brilliant black-and-white light surged forth—a sphere brimming with Aether, Nether, Divinity, Cosmic Power, Nightmare, Dream, Sorrow, Joy, Hope, Anger, Suffering, and countless other concepts. The combined power of ninety worlds fueled her evolution into something far beyond even the Outer Gods.

BA DUM!

BA DUM!

BA DUM!

Maria and Michael fused even deeper. The System that had sealed him rapidly disintegrated into its primary elements and was rebuilt from the ground up. Michael’s soul was freed and willingly merged with hers as he entrusted her with the power his siblings had once sealed away—to help her end this nightmare once and for all.

The System did not disappear. Instead, it was reborn as Maria’s Natal Immortal Treasure. No, it could no longer even be called Immortal.

This power...

It surpassed divinity, immortality, and celestial might entirely.

It was the unique power of entities that existed beyond the dimensional boundaries of the universe.

Cosmic Monarchs.

The same species as the Heavenly Father.

Primordial Entities that created instead of destroyed.

While Outer Gods devoured and consumed, Cosmic Monarchs brought forth new life. Both forces existed in eternal balance—creation and destruction intertwined.

Yet at some point, the Heavenly Father had been afflicted by an illness... or perhaps something far worse had been done to him. He had begun to go mad, mutating into something resembling an Outer God, consumed by the desire to devour everything he had ever created.

Now, it fell to Maria and Michael to stop him before he came to regret it all.

FLAAASH!

The sphere of Yin and Yang, of Life and Death, of Darkness and Light, and of countless millions of elements, exploded with radiant force.

Cracks spread across its surface. This beautiful cosmic egg, born from a gigantic lotus blossoming within the emptiness of the void and chaos, began to split open.

Crack... crack...!

The shell shattered completely, and all its pieces exploded into cosmic energy.

CRACK!

From within emerged an immensely bright entity.

As the blinding light slowly absorbed back into her body and soul...

She emerged.

The entire evolution had taken barely a minute. With the essence of ninety worlds and even Hell itself supporting her, there was no need for it to last any longer. Camael’s existence quickly scattered into pure energy, fueling her rebirth.

Maria’s true body manifested in the brilliant light. It was now as large as Earth’s sun. Her very existence shone like a beautiful star across the skies of ninety different worlds and Hell itself.

The demons of Hell immediately knelt and worshipped her. She was the one who had freed them from their eternal prison.

Satan, Leviathan, Beelzebub, and Lilith used their influence to force the other three Archdemons to cooperate. Since it also benefited them, they did so gladly. Together, they helped Maria’s Soul Fragments unify into the Seven Layers of Hell and placed a fragment of her body in each layer.

Ultimately, a dimension as vast as Hell itself became part of her Soul Realm, which had now grown to an almost ridiculous scale.

With Maria’s ascension, her entire Soul Realm continued to expand. All ninety worlds and Hell within it were fueled by her new essence, becoming far greater than before.

Her eyes opened, bathing the ninety worlds in celestial light.

Her body, forged from nebulas, stars, dark matter, and cosmic energy, radiated majestic beauty—unparalleled and awe-inspiring. Her long hair flowed like an endless ocean of cosmos, with new stars constantly being born across its depths.

A crown of white and black flames manifested above her head, while her six eyes glowed with different colors: red, green, yellow, blue, white, and purple. At the center of these six eyes rested a vertical rainbow eye, emanating a beautiful technicolor ray of light in every direction.

Maria’s form had become surprisingly streamlined, yet with a single thought, tentacles sprouted from her back and her hair transformed into a vast sea of long cosmic tentacles made of stars and nebulas. At the same time, her eyes turned red as her aura overflowed with immense power, warping reality itself.

Her rebuilt System, now a Primordial Cosmic Relic tied directly to her soul and Soul Realm, overflowed with new light and began rebuilding everything around her.

A bright message formed from celestial and star essence:

[Congratulations, oh Great Cosmic Seat.]

[The {Will of the Multiverse} has recognized your Ascension into a {Cosmic Monarch}.]

[The {Will of the Multiverse} has granted you the True Cosmic Name: [Primordial Mother Of Genesis And Oblivion, Great Celestial Void Cosmos-Born Star Venerable, Shub-Nyxaloth-Ultima, Architect of Starless Eternity]]

[All your Skills have been merged through your Cosmic Authority, becoming four new Ascendant Cosmic Roots]

{Eternal Mourning Spiral (High Galaxy Tier)}: A time-looping curse that traps enemies in recursive grief.

{Genesis of the Last Light (Low Universal Tier)}: Creates a divine entity from the last photon of a dying universe.

{Oblivion Choir (High Galaxy Tier)}: Summons a chorus of void angels that sing reality into collapse.

{Womb of the Architect (Low Universal Tier)}: Constructs divine realms from fragments of forgotten dreams.

"Huh, this is new."

Maria looked at the messages with quiet amusement, realizing she had reached an entirely new level of power—far beyond anything she had ever known. Not even Michael had been certain such things existed. Most of the information had come directly from the Multiverse itself, which apparently possessed a Will that connected effortlessly to her System.
