After a a few moments, the red glow of his Universes died down.

Now finished with his urgent task, he was back to square one of entertainment. And so, he vanished.

Reappearing far below, to the Lower Realms, Alexander watched two different worlds with great assiduity.

'Tier-1 and Tier-2 Worlds... How has Mana even made it here... Whatever... let's not think too much about it. Mana is still considered a primary energy. It is dogshit, yes, but still there.'

Now a much more powerful being, Alexander soon grasped Mana's foundations.

'Qi? Mana is an even lower, failed form of Qi?'

Technically speaking, Qi was also a primary energy and the most basic one of all. With Qi, one could have it evolve into anything. But this process should also go both ways.

If Qi's evolution turned out worse than Qi itself, Alexander now understood this scenario to form Mana.

'Then what about... never mind, Tier-1 Worlds are just a mess of Mana, Qi, and other types of energies. Just a bundle of random messes.'

It was time for Alexander to relax and enjoy his world, influencing its direction from time to time, wanting to observe what would happen.

'First of, Tier-2 Worlds!'

His figure fading in, Alexander stood above some peaceful clouds, under a blue sky. It was the most generic Tier-2 World he could find. And after waving his arm, he disappeared once more.

"Huh!" A piece of wood being chopped down upon like a fish on the chopping board, a young man looked exhausted. His body was covered in sweat and his eyes were heavy. The lowly axe in his hand was old and decrepit, while he stood next to a wooden shack in a random forest.

"That's it for the day! I'm so hungry-"

"..."

Staring blankly at screen of light in front of his face, the youth scratched his short brown hair with confusion.

'Am I seeing things already?'

The screen of light did not respond to his inner thoughts, and still showed the same words.

'Hum... it shouldn't hurt to try, right?' Poking at the screen of light, said entity buzzed before dispersing into the air.

After some even more confusion, the youth heard a small sound at the back of his head. After which, the screen of light faded back in.

You have accepted the quest!

"Huh..? Wait, what quest?! I just touched the-"

Initialization of your status...

"Hey now!! Stop this!! I said stop it-"

Name : Alba Level : 0 Title : Imminent Shard of Evil Goal : Defeat and assimilate the Shard of the Virtuous

Somewhere in this same world, in the middle of a flourishing capital hosting many lives. A young man with short blonde hair, his eyes lacking all visible components, be it the pupil or iris, was currently training his swordsmanship.

Curiously looking over, a screen of golden light popped into existence. After playing around with it, something happened.

You have accepted the quest!

"Hmm~?"

Initialization of your status... Name : Dimitry Level : 0 Title : Imminent Shard of the Virtuous Goal : Defeat and assimilate the Shard of Evil

"What is this? It sounds quite fun!"

'Yes... yes it is!' Laughing, Alexander watched the two pawns receive his 'blessings'. Wanting to test how fast his internal world was going, Alexander let it go free for a single moment.

Yet this single moment was enough to end it all.

'?!' His eyes opened wide, Alexander was truly dumbstruck. The two should have needed from thirty to a hundred years, yet, in a single moment, the entire world changed. Clearly, one had won, but how long ago was it?

'The entire world has turned upside down. Cities built where there was nothing and nothing filling where there were cities.'

'Maybe I shouldn't let it go so fast when experimenting... But just to be sure...'

Doing it one more time for good measure, Alexander saw the entire world disappear!

Since it was his own internal world, Alexander could know everything, well almost.

After reviewing what happened using his Dao of Time, Alexander watched in incredulity as the entire world was brutally destroyed by a wandering cultivator. Not only so, it happened so long ago, Alexander could not even fathom it! Two mere instants made the world go so fast, he himself lost track of the sheer size of the number it was estimated at.

'Are all internal worlds so broken?!'

Teleporting, Alexander wanted to start from the very beginning and inspect all world tiers.

This task only took a few minutes to complete, and now, Alexander floated inside of the Primordial Main Worlds' red space.

'Let me see...'

One with the Multiverse, Alexander knew of every being's past and present. Not only so, but controlling their future was also a possibility.

'Around a hundred and thirty at the Ascension Realm in this Universe alone... The Multiverse really is a league of its own. And back then I thought I was strong...'

Carefully watching over the Universe he was in, Alexander reappeared in a giant house.

The house was made out of water and floated in the void. Not only was this house truly enormous, it was not even in the Primordial Main Worlds. It was situated within the Main Realms instead.

Inside this house, sitting on a chair made out of a metallic liquid, a young woman. She had blue hair and transparent features. This woman sipped on a beverage while looking around, admiring the colorful Main Realms.

'She's not human..? But...' Without courtesy, Alexander entered her own house and examined her in person. Of course, a being as tall as her inside of her own home was beyond obvious.

"Who are you?!" Frowning, the woman kept a stern yet elegant disposition. Her attitude fearless, which did not even faze Alexander. He acted as if she was not even alive.

"Are you blind?! Get away at once!" Waving her left arm in displeasure, the woman intended to sweep Alexander away. Of course, a lowly Overlord could never make Alexander even blink by now.

Ignoring her, Alexander parted his lips with a blank face.

"You're not human, are you?"

"Wha... Of course not! Are you really that blind!!?" Curiously peeking at the woman's forehead, now bulging with small rivers instead of veins, Alexander was amused, but also conflicted.

Frowning himself this time, he asked something different.

"How many humans are stronger than you?"

If Alexander wanted to know, it would not be hard. But other than crucial and even vital matters, Alexander would not use his omniscience wantonly.

Why? Because it was not fun.

"Stronger than me? Two, but so what? Humans are a minority in here, so what if I am weaker than a couple of them? Are you looking down on our Myriad Race Alliance?"

Stroking his chin, Alexander narrowed his eyes.

"Is that so... I don't know... I really don't know what I should do..."

"You see young lady, I have already removed my Instinct Core. Therefore, I have no more malicious intentions without reasons. Well I still do, but not as much. Some might even say I have retained habits of sorts, but others would claim that my personality is the cause here..."

"Do you understand where I'm going?"

Blinking a few times, the liquid woman was at a complete and utter loss.

"...hum... no? What are you even talki-"

"Ah! How stupid of me, I should've expected that! Valtos must have done something to his internal world! Yes, that must be it!"

"Anyways, what should I do with you and your little friends now?"

Tilting her head, the lady had already given up on even comprehending his words.

"You don't know? Should I flip a coin perhaps?"

"Flip a coin... for what?"

This time, it was Alexander's turn to blink incessantly in confusion.

"Well to know whether I should kill all of you or not!"

Blankly staring at him, the lady opened her mouth a few times, but only puzzlement remained.

"I guess I'll have to flip a coin then..."

Taking out not a coin, but an Immortal Gem instead, Alexander engraved two symbols on each side before tossing the gem into the air spinning wildly.

Her eyes wide open, the woman was thoroughly shocked. As for her greed, it had been impaled deeply already.

"Wha-wha-what is that? Give it to me!" Jumping from her metallic seat of liquid, the woman clawed at Alexander's hands, now occupied with the result.

"Cross, you all die." His left arm as if a snake, it whipped in the woman's direction, dissipating her head in a mere moment.

Recovering, the woman trembled.

"Mmh? Oh! My bad." Snapping his fingers, it made the woman suddenly feel even more terror as she could feel her Heavens' Death contract vanish in a heartbeat. Not only so, but the Heavens clearly severed their ties with her as well!

"So, like I said, you die." Alexander's punch this time around was not any easier to dodge than the last.

Her head exploding in a puddle of water, her life was still there.

"What now... Ah! I see!"

The woman's race clearly helped her survive from a blown apart head. Obviously, the lady lived like water itself.

Recovering once again, the lady regained some confidence.

"Ha...haha... Hahaha!! You can't kill me! I am... what are you doing?"

Turning a bit more serious, Alexander's unchanging playful smile looked much more hideous than ever before.

Controlling some Origin Energy from all around, Alexander sent a gust of this bundled up Origin Energy to the woman, dissipating her Divine Root and Instinct Core on the spot.

'At least they all have both the Instinct Core and either a Life or Divine Root.'

Turning around, Alexander did not need to verify if she died or not. A destroyed Life or Divine Root was instantaneous death!

'Though... I am too lazy to follow through... I'm not going to waste my stay here with useless trash. Once I know more about Valtos' methods, I'll be able to accomplish the most suitable path.'

'As for now...' Gazing at the empty space, Alexander contemplated his next course of actions. Back during his prime as an Overlord of Valtos' Universe, Alexander had accomplished all that he wanted.

Be it having beauties, lazing around, having friends, acting as a angel and a demon. Anything he could imagine, he already completed. Of course some things could be done multiple times, but even so...

'I'll go take a look at the Celestial Realm.'

Under a clear blue sky, Alexander floated mid-air. Beneath him, a young man and a young woman were standing, peering at him with cautiousness.

Both had white hair but young appearances. They looked like twins almost.

"Two small ones at the Instinct Liberating Realm already..."

Flinching, the two nervously looked at him. Even though they were the two strongest beings in Alexander's internal world, as not only the creator himself, but someone pioneering into the Nihility Realm as well, his aura was quite obvious to stronger experts.

"Now... you two..."

"Y... Yes..?" The first to ask, the young man was just about to request some clarifications when Alexander's words made the both of them erupt in cold sweats.

"What is this blue thing inside of you?"

"We... what?" The woman breaking the standstill, her answer made Alexander visibly narrow his eyes.

"Ascension perhaps?" After inspecting the past, Alexander realized when this energy was created. His vision enclosing the Multiverse, he barely spotted a missing piece. Far into the horizon of Universes, something else was present.

'A Universe got destroyed... or more precisely...' Glancing at them, Alexander's mind surged in curiosity.

'But... instead of nothing, the Universe got replaced with... a blue star?'

The sea of Universes not only lacked one, but this same one had been replaced by a blue and white four sided star of light the exact same size.

This four sided star was white inside and emanated an esoteric and truly wonderous blue light with the same shape.

'This star... has kind of the same feeling as Limbo's Heavens. Something related to the Heavenly Venerable Realm perhaps? No... I don't feel any contract with this...'

Only one word came to his mind from feeling its influence.

Belief!

'And from the belief of something, can be birthed faith...'

'Is this... faith related? But... I feel like this isn't the answer. Not even close.'

'I suppose I'll know later. As of now, it doesn't seem dangerous, but more so natural. A natural and completely normal phenomenon from a Universe' collapse... I hope at least.'

Coming back to his avatar's senses, Alexander noticed the two below heavily panting.

Reviewing the past again, Alexander menacingly narrowed his eyes, frowning deeply.

"Did the two of you..."

"...just tried to kill me?"
