BOOOOM!!

​The very fabric of the sky tore open, peeling back like fragile parchment to reveal the boundless, starry void beyond. From the celestial rift, Sunny, Josephine, and Star descended. The auras of Realm Rulers burst out from the three, a suffocating, majestic pressure that easily covered the whole realm, suppressing the raging storms and boiling seas instantly.

​"Huh? Mom is also here?" Destiny muttered in surprise, looking up at the sky. The tactical genius of the family hadn’t accounted for the matriarch leaving the empire.

​"I think I finally discovered Dad’s goal, he plans to take this realm under his control." Lucian said, slowly nodding his head as the grand, terrifying scale of his father’s ambition finally clicked into place. The Yggdrasil, the arrays, the invasion—it was a hostile realm takeover.

​"I don’t understand! If you already have such a goal! Why send us to Capture this creature?" Jinx yelled, pointing an accusatory finger at Nammu, who was still shivering from the divine pressure.

​Sunny landed effortlessly before the three, his dark coat billowing, while Josephine rushed past him straight to her kids, tightly hugging the three in a fierce, protective embrace.

​"Of course, I need her. That’s why I sent you here, but there is another reason why I did that." Sunny said, a confident, knowing smile on his face as he looked at his elite subordinate.

​Jinx pouted, crossing her arms in sheer frustration at being used as bait. "And what reason is that?" She asked.

​"To distract him." Sunny gestured casually to Togas, his words stunning the Fourth Realm Ruler to his core.

​"Really?" Jinx was also shocked, her anger instantly replaced by awe at the King’s tactical foresight.

​"I wasn’t sure about the plan, it was all a gamble, but this guy is a bit slow, and love entertainment. Watching you guys is the best entertainment to him." Sunny explained, openly mocking the dark god’s hubris right to his face.

​"Hahaha!!! Realm Ruler Sunny!! You are so great!! Even predicting my actions! Great indeed!!" Togas laughed loudly, his pride wounded but his arrogance intact. As he roared, his dark Primordial energy spread all over the place, violently clashing with Sunny’s golden aura in a visual spectacle of warring gods.

​"This?" The Blood Moon Goddess quickly flew back, desperately creating distance from Togas, her survival instincts screaming that staying near the center of this clash meant total annihilation.

​"Hahahaha! I will show you my--"

​Togas froze mid-sentence. He raised his hand, staring at his palm in absolute disbelief. The conceptual threads of reality he normally wove together with ease were completely severed. "What is this? Why can’t I use my laws?" He asked himself in shock, his voice laced with sudden panic.

​Sunny ascended smoothly into the air, stopping directly before the towering sovereign. "When the statutes and Yggdrasil fully activated, it blocked all the laws of every single realm ruler... At this moment, you can’t use any law." Sunny said, casually crossing his arms behind him. The golden formation above them was acting as a supreme jammer, imposing a universal lockdown on divine authority.

​"This? Laws of every realm ruler, does that mean you also can’t use yours?" He asked in disbelief, clinging to the hope that this was a double-edged sword.

​In response, Sunny simply opened his palm. Instantly, the space above it shattered, and cracked open, reality bending seamlessly at his will without the slightest resistance.

​"Impossible!! You said all Realm Ruler’s laws will be ineffective! How can you still use yours?!!" Togas asked in horror, taking a subconscious step backward.

​"I wasn’t lying, all Realm Ruler’s laws are sealed. But too bad, I am no longer a realm ruler." Sunny said, his words stunning everyone present, echoing like thunder across the silent wasteland. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

​’After gaining powers from that old man, and absorbing the system. I am one with heaven and earth... I am now above everything in this universe.’ Sunny thought, his golden eyes staring piercingly at Togas, evaluating him not as a rival, but as prey.

​’Once I gain his Laws, I will become much powerful.’ He smirked, his ambition knowing no bounds.

​"I don’t fucking care!!!" Togas yelled, his terror twisting into pure, unadulterated rage. Thick, corrosive dark Primordial energy burst out from him, creaking the ground below him and threatening to rot the earth to its core.

​"Watch out."

​Josephine muttered, as she snapped her fingers, and a brilliant, indestructible green light barrier enveloped everyone—her children, the elites, and the mortals—rising them all gently above the crumbling, decaying ground.

​"This?" Marriott was stunned speechless, staring wide-eyed at the apocalyptic destruction of the ground below them, entirely shielded by a bubble of pure life energy. Mortal minds were simply not built to comprehend such casual displays of omnipotence.

​"What do I have to do to get to this rank?!" Jinx asked, turning to Josephine with burning determination, practically holding her arms in desperation. She was the Elder Sister, yet she felt hopelessly outpaced.

​"Tell me, please... Even Ellen’s rank is higher than mine." She said, her competitive spirit aching.

​Josephine blinked in surprise, a sudden, awkward flush coloring her cheeks. ’Um... What should I say? I get to this rank by having continuous sex with my husband... I am now a half Realm Ruler, but I can’t just tell her this?’ Josephine thought, panicking internally at the impossibility of explaining her "dual cultivation" bypass to Jinx.

​Regaining her regal composure, she firmly nodded:

​"You should stop being lazy and cultivate more." She said, delivering the most generic, maternal advice possible.

​Jinx thought about her words deeply, taking the matriarch’s profound "wisdom" to heart, and slowly nodded her head: "Okay, I think I can do that." She said.

​"Yes." Josephine smiled, relieved that the lie had worked.

​However, beneath her smile, a heavy burden weighed on her heart. ’I can’t upgrade after reaching this level, even sex won’t help... Sunny told me I have to create my own realm, if I achieve this, I will also become a Genuine Realm Ruler... But it’s so difficult.’ Josephine exhaled softly, turning her loving gaze back to her kids, watching them marvel at the battle.

​’I will get stronger to protect all of you... Your father shouldn’t be the only one to protect us.’ She thought, resolving to step out of Sunny’s shadow and forge her own sovereign dimension.

​High above, the clash of titans was reaching its climax.

​"Is that all?" Sunny asked with a slight, disappointed frown, staring critically at Togas, who was now clad head-to-toe in a grotesque, spiked black armor forged from pure malice.

​"Come on, bring out your ultimate transformation, entertain me." Sunny said with a taunting smile, gesturing for the dark god to bring his full might to bear.

​"You!! Alright then!!" Togas nodded, his eyes burning with infernal light.

​But beneath his wrathful exterior, the Fourth Realm Ruler’s mind was racing with absolute cowardice. ’This bastard can use his laws, after I activated my ultimate form, I should tear the void and escape! Yes, that’s the plan.’ Togas thought, realizing that fighting a transcendent being in a locked-down realm was a death sentence.

​Channeling every ounce of his remaining lifeforce, blinding red Primordial energy burst out from him, creaking the sky and earth as the sheer density of his power threatened to collapse the physical world.

​"AHHHHHHHH!!!"
