The top five Absolute Beings were the most preeminent existences among the Controllers.

One by one, they entered the gigantic light gate. Merlin trailed behind them. He had experienced many worlds but after entering this light gate, he lost his sense of direction.

​​

It seemed that there was no direction behind this light gate at all. He could not even sense the world's barrier as if this was not even a world.

Nonetheless, Merlin soon noticed what was special about this place.

"Hoo…"

It was a gale. This gale contained terrifying energy that could easily annihilate a Latitude Region. Even the most preeminent Major Cosmos Absolute Beings felt fearful.

However, this gale was swiftly fading away. As it was fading, it was constantly being derived as well.

"Destruction and rebirth…"

Merlin blurted this out. Naturally, he thought of this point. Destruction and rebirth – this was the Origin's unique power.

When he saw this gale, there was no doubt that this was the Origin!

"Look quickly – the Void Beasts in front, have they gone mad?"

The Eastern Region Absolute Being looked toward the Void Beasts in the distance, feeling incredulous. 

Merlin followed his gaze and saw that there was a large number of Void Beasts in front, formed into groups. They were the ones who had passed through the light gate from the outside. Now, they could no longer locate the light gate.

Currently, these Void Beasts seemed to have spotted something "delicious". They were frantically throwing themselves at a black cloud that had appeared before them but this cloud was filled with eerie power. Strangely, each Void Beast that plunged into it was instantly turned into smithereens.

"Poof poof."

Nonetheless, these Void Beasts were not afraid at all. Wave after wave, they frenziedly lunged toward that black cloud.

"Destruction, destruction – this black cloud contains the Power of Destruction!"

At last, Tyron spoke gradually. Everyone noticed as well that the black cloud was filled with the Power of Destruction. Moreover, the Void Beasts themselves represented destruction.

Perhaps by entering the black cloud, the Void Beasts would obtain momentous benefits. However, the Power of Destruction in the black cloud was even able to easily annihilate the Void Beasts who were creatures of destruction. It was enough to show how scary it was.

If this left the Origin, no matter how many Latitude Regions there were, all would be swept clean and wiped out.

Although the black cloud was formidable, annihilating one Void Beast after another, the number of Void Beasts was far too many. One died after another without any signs of stopping.

"That's not right. These Void Beasts are simply rushing to their deaths. They want to move one step further. Evolution?"

They watched the Void Beasts heading into the black cloud one after another, easily destroyed. Therefore, they were not just seeking their deaths. Rather, this was a filtering process. 

"Buzz."

Finally, a Void Beast of tremendous proportions and monstrous force dashed into the black cloud in one move. Instantly, the entire black cloud started to tremble violently.

Moreover, the other Void Beasts finally stopped as well. Their eyes glinted with apprehension as they stared at the black cloud which was stirring ceaselessly. Wisps of a colossal force slowly seeped out from it.

Now, the other Void Beasts seemed frightened as well. They began to hunt everywhere for other black clouds, plunging into these in unending waves.

"Roar…"

After a few days, an earth-shattering roar erupted from the black cloud. Soon, a pitch-black Void Beast whose size was ten times larger than an average Void Beast emerged. It was a leviathan. Even its body and build were an endless deterrent force.

This enormous Void Beast was that previous Void Beast who had successfully entered the black cloud after much difficulty. Now, this Void Beast had undergone a complete transformation. Its strength was more than ten times its previous self.

A Void Beast's strength was terrifying in the first place. Now that it was enhanced ten times over, it was difficult to fathom how formidable it was. Furthermore, when this colossal and special Void Beast unleashed its furious roar, the surrounding Void Beasts appeared to weaken as they approached this Void Beast like it was their king.

Of course, there was still a large number of Void Beasts who were looking for other black clouds even more frantically. It was as if they wished to undergo the same transformation as this Void Beast.

"As I thought, they were filtering out the stronger Void Beasts. These are still not real kings. I've heard that there can only be one true king. Still, the king's subordinates will include a few formidable Void Beasts as commanders. I'm guessing that this black cloud allows these ordinary Void Beasts to evolve into commanders. Thereafter, from this group of commanders, the true king will be born!"

Tyron's face was gloomy as he glared unwaveringly at these Void Beasts.

Things were getting troublesome now. It turned out that these Void Beasts were able to utilize the Power of Destruction in the Origin to evolve. Although the king was not yet born, there was no doubt that as the number of commanders increased, the king would finally be born. It was just a matter of time.

"We can't go on waiting like this like sitting ducks. If the Void Beasts produce their king, we'll be powerless and can only wait for devastation. Since the Power of Destruction can transform the Void Beasts, the Origin's Power of Rebirth can make us stronger too or even transform us, boosting us to the level we've always yearned!"

The Eastern Absolute Being's eyes flashed with a hopeful look. The others thought of this as well. They had gone through so many trials and tribulations and braved such dangers to follow the Void Beasts into the Origin. They did not do all this just to wait around for their deaths. They were looking for their chance as well.

Of course, the Power of Destruction was not of much help to them but in the Origin, there was not just the Power of Destruction but also the corresponding Power of Rebirth.

Perhaps this was the opportunity for the Controllers!

Therefore, a new motivation emerged in this small party. Although they were unfamiliar with the Origin, they knew that since this place was filled with the Power of Destruction where the Void Beasts were assembled, they had to go in the opposite direction. By taking a path that ran counter to the Void Beasts', they would surely encounter the Power of Rebirth.

Naturally, Merlin wanted to follow them as well but unlike the rest, he was interested in the Power of Destruction. Therefore, after a moment of deliberation, Merlin came up with his plan. His surroundings were filled with the omnipresent Power of Destruction. He purposefully used the Illusory World to draw in a bit of the Power of Destruction.

This Power of Destruction was only a tiny amount which Merlin could still suppress. Thus, it did not affect him much.

With that, after Merlin had suppressed this strand of the Power of Destruction in the Illusory World, he followed Tyron and the rest. They flew in the opposite direction of the Void Beasts, looking for the Power of Rebirth in the Origin.

Perhaps this was the Controllers' only chance!
