Infinite Evolution: My Idle Evolution System-Chapter 384: Tying Up Loose Ends

"Sire…" The Demon Ancestor knelt lower, breathing with great difficulty. "The Time Dilation difference between Dimensions and Floors has led to numerous years passing for the Prodigal Conqueror. He's no longer the kid he once was; his power has grown far beyond expectations. It's highly likely only the strongest among us are now capable of dealing with him, and even then… We hear he now has the support of the Heavenly Father. Our moles in the Heavenly Court told us as much."

RUMBLE—!!!

That was the last straw; Lucifer's fury blasted out, erasing half his galaxy-sized palace in an instant.

"This little bastard actually colluded with my Father!?" Lucifer roared, forcing the kneeling Demon Ancestor to circulate all his defenses just to stay conscious. "Even if he's not officially one of us, to think that he has dragged the True Demon King Lineage and Cultivation Path through the mud in such a way!! COURTING DEATH!!!"

"I-I agree, Sire…" the Demon Ancestor struggled to say, his bloodshot eyes leaking blood. "Sh-Should I gather the others and make sure the Prodigal Conqueror meets his demise…?"

Lucifer replied angrily, "Yes, take everyone if need be. Intercept that little bastard before he can enter the Holy Sanctuary of Yggdrasil! For disgracing the True Demon King Lineage, enslaving our kind, and seducing my daughter as he has, death will be a luxury for him!!"

Was the third matter the true reason for your hatred of this rising Demon King…?

As much as the Demon Ancestor wanted to speak his mind, he knew better than to beg for his own death. Instead, he carried out the Great Demon King's orders, leaving the destroyed palace and gathering up everyone subordinate to the Original Fallen Angel.

After the Demon Ancestor took his leave, Lucifer looked toward the two other massive plots of hellish land on the 7th Floor of HELL. One had huge floating citadels of carnage and death. The other was an underground world that had no observable limits, with trillions of powerful demons living and sowing chaos beneath the volcanic surface.

"It's high time I get into contact with those two," said Lucifer, still seething. "Astaroth and Beelzebub. If Father is interested in that little traitorous bastard, then he's mine. I won't allow them to interfere."

His slitted demonic gaze grew more frigid than the coldest of blizzard abysses. And with an instantaneous movement, he disappeared from his spot, traversing billions upon billions of miles in mere moments.

— Meanwhile, some distance outside the Aluria Succubus Family's Royal Palace —

Cassius, holding several greenish-golden tickets in his hands, stared into the hazy purple horizon. After a couple of seconds, he handed out the tickets to Yimin and the others.

They looked at him in confusion, prompting him to explain, "Those are Guest Tickets to the Holy Sanctuary of Yggdrasil. They're temporary and are far easier to come by, much unlike the genuine tickets. Like this one here." novelbuddy.cσ๓

Pulling out a brighter and more brilliant greenish-golden ticket with a large tree imprinted on it, Cassius showed the girls. They immediately got lost in thought while staring at it, with something seemingly pulling them in.

Even Lilith and Mora, who stuck by his side or on his back most of the time, felt a tug. The allure of the Yggdrasil Ticket was something irresistible, yet it didn't have the effect of making one hungry or addicted. It was more like it represented the very fundamentals of existence, and as such, the core beings of every living thing in the universe were unable to completely resist what it offered.

Cassius, however, remained unaffected…

His Origin Progenitor Bloodline represented the Origin of all things. As such, it would never bend to the will of another omnipotent force like the essence of Yggdrasil.

"Keep those tickets close, for it was not easy to snatch them from the Succubus Queen and other such prominent figures while they weren't looking," said Cassius as he leapt atop Angel Raijin's head. "Come now, the main event of the century is about to begin, and I want front-row seats to the show."

"Yesh, Master!"

With that, he and his abnormal gang of misfits flickered into the horizon, leaving the 6th Sinity-Realm as well as the Dimension of Pleasure itself. Out in the dimensional tunnel between time and space, they traveled for who knew how long.

Until ultimately coming across premonitions of a magnificent tree so large that its size couldn't even begin to be measured by mortal standards…

Taking out the tickets, Cassius and the girls ripped them up and watched as the World Tree premonitions gradually melded with reality. A portal then opened up, one that had their exact existential codes attached to it, giving them exclusive access to the most mysterious world in the Ascension Tower—

Yggdrasil.

Time to go in!

Or not…

"We're reaching the endgame now, yet there are still so many things I've yet to do," Cassius quietly murmured to himself. "The Originverse, the Infinite Character Development Dimension, and the Nightmarescape. There are so many things I've been putting back for who knows how many years now… Haiz…"

Deciding he had some Side Quests to complete before tackling the next Main Quest, Cassius mentally paused his game, watching as everyone and everything froze in time. He too froze, with his consciousness drifting to the Originverse.

FWIP!

[Time Ratio: 1:1 → 0:0 (equivalent, so possible)(But is limited…)]

"This comes first," said Cassius as he was instantly prompted with a level-up screen for the evolution of his Origin Village. "Unity is essential moving forward, same as with my Godforce and Character Development Units, which have been constantly increasing alongside my Trainer Rank as it inches closer to the God-rank. So many things are at their precipice points, throwing so much on my platter."

He had a shit-ton to do before becoming confident enough to face ancient, time-long entities that exceeded his comprehension. It was without a doubt that such beings would be within Yggdrasil, and unless he wanted to be under the will of another powerful force like the Dissonants, he had to prepare himself.

Even if the Tournament was his to win, he had to be ready for what came after.
