But that wasn't the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan Lorian was a Singularity of Chaos who should never have existed in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was never meant to inherit that power, because it was never his to begin with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nine years ago, when he was ten, he met a mysterious old man who seemed both strange and unfamiliar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man claimed to be the Singularity of Chaos. His name was Zephyr—\"Prince of the White Dragon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Nolan didn't understand why the man had sought him out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after inheriting the power and absorbing the man's will, he finally understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man had come to pass on his power, his title, and the immense responsibility of being the Singularity of Chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, Nolan accepted without hesitation. After all, he had no talent for magic and possessed no special power of his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So when such overwhelming power was placed before him, it felt like fortune had fallen straight into his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as time passed, Nolan realized that the power of the Singularity of Chaos was far more than he could bear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were times when he was tempted to pass this power on to someone more deserving, but he knew it would be reckless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At their core, humans were cruel. Without the restraint of law and morality, chaos could erupt at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So if he handed this power to someone else, it wasn't impossible that they would abuse it—and that it would ultimately backfire on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the day the old man, Zephyr, passed the power and title of the Singularity of Chaos to him, he had never been seen again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan searched for him to the very ends of the continent but found nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, the figure of old man Zephyr appeared before him, making his body tremble unconsciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't understand why the Sun God was showing him all this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one thing was certain—his doubts would soon be answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan focused his gaze on the scene before him, hoping to find the answer to the question that had troubled him for so long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the scene, old man Zephyr was gasping for breath as he dragged his frail body forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I must find a successor soon. Otherwise, this power will perish with me,\" he whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lowered his hood further and continued walking unsteadily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, are you hurt?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A child's voice called out from ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zephyr flinched and looked up, only to see a ten-year-old boy staring at him warily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You… What are you doing in this forest?\" Zephyr asked in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy—none other than Nolan—stepped closer, slipping his right hand into his pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't need to know who I am. What matters right now is that you're hurt. How about I help you?\" Nolan offered, stopping in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zephyr did not accept the offer immediately. He studied the boy in silence, then smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see potential in you, kid. Hahaha! The gods have truly been kind to me!\" He burst into laughter, relief written across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uwaa…\" Nolan stepped back in fear, his eyes scanning the old man from head to toe, as if looking at a lunatic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old man, you're not mentally ill, are you? If you are, then I'm sorry—I can't help you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, he turned to leave, but the man grabbed his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, don't go. I have a gift for you,\" Zephyr said eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That only made Nolan even more uneasy. Even so, he forced himself to stay calm and avoid doing anything rash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-What do you want? Remember—don't try anything stupid, understand? Otherwise, I'll scream as loud as I can. My mother is right over there,\" he threatened, pointing into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zephyr chuckled softly and reassured him, \"Don't worry, I won't harm you. On the contrary, I'll give you power. Do you want it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Power?\" Nolan frowned. \"What kind of power?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zephyr raised his right hand and drove it straight into his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Srck!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His chest was pierced, and without hesitation, he pulled out his heart. It was jet black, with silver patterns swirling across its surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You… What are you doing!? You're crazy! You're insane!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan cried out in fear, stumbling two steps back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stabbing through his own chest and tearing out his heart?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In both his lifetimes, this was the first time he had witnessed something so horrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zephyr ignored his shock and fear. Cold sweat soaked his neck, forehead, and back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His breathing grew heavy and labored as he raised the heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This heart contains all my power and legacy. Will you accept it?\" he asked in a strained voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan hesitated, but Zephyr gave him no time to think.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurry and say it! I don't have any time left.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan gritted his teeth. \"All right. I accept it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know whether the man was lying or not. But if it were true, he would gain immense benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zephyr smiled broadly. Still struggling to breathe, he shouted, \"I, Zephyr Cornala, hereby transfer all my power to the child before me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he pressed the heart against Nolan's right chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, streams of black and silver energy burst forth, enveloping Nolan's body and forming a pulsating black cocoon shaped like a heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Puuft!\" Zephyr coughed up blood and staggered backward, his pale face concealed beneath his hood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally… the power of the Singularity of Chaos has been passed on. Even if I die now, it doesn't matter. My task is complete,\" he whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze lifted to the evening sky, and with a voice seething with vengeance, he roared, \"Seven Orders, I swear… you will perish at the hands of my successor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky shook violently. Black clouds swirled, and lightning tore across the heavens with deafening roars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene dissolved into smoke, and Nolan was drawn back into the silent darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He floated in silence, his expression calm but tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that's how it is. I understand now,\" he whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After inheriting the power of the Singularity of Chaos, his memories had been fragmented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But little by little, they returned to him. Now, his final doubt had finally been answered—the true enemy of the previous Singularity of Chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Seven Orders, huh?\" His eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A terrifying killing intent burst from his body. If his power had not been sealed, this space might have shattered into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recalled Yllia's earlier explanation about the threat lurking in the shadows—those who possessed powers similar to the Seven Singularities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've already encountered two of them—one wielding the power of the Singularity of Flame and another with the power of the Singularity of Chaos,\" he murmured. \"This is a truly troublesome situation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Zephyr, the former Singularity of Chaos, had been pushed to the brink of death. That alone proved just how powerful they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he needed to discuss this matter with the other Singularities, especially Seria and the Singularity of Flame, who held the greatest authority among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After calming himself, he looked around in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So… how do I get out of here?\" he muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As uncertainty enveloped him, his floating body suddenly plummeted at tremendous speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, he stopped abruptly and hit the ground. Strangely, everything was pitch black. He could see nothing but endless darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan slowly rose to his feet and whispered, \"What else does the Sun God want from me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a whisper brushed against his right ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nolan Lorian, have you come to understand yourself yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1265,"2026-05-30T06:57:31.147Z","2026-06-01T04:30:35.482Z",1,"novelbin.me","d7ca6f8184582b14b50e523ff4b77e3d647c212e69f43c642f6d0ae46fc666c6","the-hidden-extra-the-lazy-prince-refuses-to-asce-chapter-582","the-hidden-extra-the-lazy-prince-refuses-to-asce-chapter-580",748,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-hidden-extra-the-lazy-prince-refuses-to-asce-cover.jpg"]
