2026-07-05 20:00:07Ughhhhh—!
The heavy, low hum of a high-caste mana-powered magnetic generator resonated, triggering the opening of the five-meter-high iron bar gates that enclosed the Grand Arena of the Vanguard. The night wind of the Capital, carrying a chilly draft of steam and steel, blew inward, sweeping across the arena floor constructed from anti-magic black granite blocks. Around the steep, circular stands, dozens of veteran generals, military officers, and high noble council members of the V

Chapter 51: The One-Year Countdown
"Three hundred and sixty-five days... This is insane! The Central Tower intends to annihilate all of us!" BANG! The Vanguard Captain General slammed his fist against the white granite relic wall of Floor 5's Western Sector, which had just been cleared of monsters. The veteran man was trembling violently, no longer out of residual fear toward The Underworld God, but because of the glowing red digital numbers continuously ticking down in the air overhead, severing the destiny of all mankind on Earth and within the Tower. [Tower Apocalypse Countdown: 364 Days, 23 Hours, 54 Minutes, 12 Seconds...] In the midst of the open hall that was now doused in the mass panic of soldiers and academy students, Austin Carter instead let out a thoroughly long, deep sigh. The youth in the grey uniform rolled over lazily atop his newly and neatly minted God-Tier Legendary Mattress. The lavender aromatherapy scent drifting from the mattress's fabric fibers should h
Chapter 50: Volume 1 Conclusion: The World Tree Trembles
TIC... TOC... Pure time inside the shattered primary control room of Floor 5’s Western Sector stopped ticking completely. The silence that fell was no longer just an ordinary vocal vacuum, but an absolute-tier freezing of spatial causality forced by the supreme authority of the Central Tower. The attack of The Underworld God's sharp black talons, which had been surging at the speed of light, froze stiff, halted exactly one millimeter in front of the fabric threads of Austin Carter's grey uniform. The expression of fanatical madness and ferocity on the alabaster face of the God of Death locked instantly, replaced by a thoroughly massive cosmic panic as his divine instincts detected the energy fluctuations that had just exploded from within Austin’s pocket. [System: 'The Cosmic Overlord' (Temporary Trial) authority successfully activated.] [Remaining Duration: 10 Seconds.] [Notification: All physical laws,
Chapter 49: The God vs. The Sleeper
CRACK... KRAAAAK! The sound of spatial tearing creaked loudly inside the completely obliterated primary control room. The God-Tier Aura Pressure unleashed by the partial incarnation of The Underworld God continued to surge boundlessly, condensing into dark gravitational waves that physically crushed the surrounding structures. The anti-magic metal floor beneath the creature's feet had completely melted, turning into a wildly boiling pool of pitch-black, ink-like lava that released sulfurous vapor capable of burning human lungs in a single breath. Atop the ruined floor, Selena Vance remained rigidly on her knees. Both her palms pressed against the scorching marble to support her violently trembling body. Her mana was completely, deathly pale; every time she attempted to circulate her ice magic energy, the blood-red aura from the Underworld God instantly severed and brutally purified her energy circulation, leaving behind an extraordinarily burning pain along the pathways of her sou
Chapter 48: The Vessel Activates
"Stop him! Don't let him finish his boasting!" Selena Vance exploded all the remaining ice mana inside her body. Her silver rapier gleamed with a thoroughly sharp, crystalline blue light as she lunged forward through the residual smoke of the control room. Behind her, the Vanguard Captain General and ten high-caste heavy infantry soldiers leaped simultaneously, unsheathing their magical weapons at maximum speed. Their slicing wind cuts sheared through the air, targeting Duke Valerian Cross's neck from multiple directions. However, Duke Valerian didn't shift a single millimeter. The maddened smirk on his middle-aged face widened, radiating an utterly terrifying, absolute satisfaction. BZZZZZZZZZT! Right before the tip of Selena’s ice rapier could touch the skin of Valerian's neck, a transparent protective wall the color of dense blood suddenly exploded outward from the surface of the obsidian coffin behind him. The impact of that primordial mag
Chapter 47: Face-to-Face with the Corrupted
Hoammmm... Austin Carter stretched both his arms exceptionally slowly. His drowsy eyes opened halfway, blinking a few times to dismiss the remaining fog of sleep that still hung heavily over his consciousness. His left hand moved reflexively, patting the surface of his beloved grey sleeping pillow, which fortunately was completely untouched by any splashes of toxic fluid or stone dust. The moment Austin fully opened his eyes, the view inside the titanic square hall had already transformed into a deathly silent mass grave. More than four thousand flying creatures of the Elite B-Rank Blood Gargoyles caste that had filled the cave ceiling minutes ago had completely vanished without leaving behind even a single shard of flesh. Sreeek... As Austin's full consciousness returned, his colossal shadow army lines—the eight-meter-tall Zombie King, the five giant heads of the Mirror Swamp Hydra, as well as hundreds of phantom soldiers clad in ancient zira
Chapter 46: The Shadow Counter-Attack
[System: Locking all targets within the sealed room.] [Target Category: 4,200 Blood Gargoyle Entities (Elite B-Rank).] [Initiating automated execution of the 'Giga AFK Auto-Farming Mode' area clearance protocol...] [Highest Priority: Absolutely maintaining the stability of the Host's sleep duration.] SHIIING! The pair of neon purple vertical slit-eyes belonging to the Mirror Swamp Hydra flashed sharply in the darkness of the hall. The next second, the suffocating silence within the sealed room was shattered into pieces by the fierce roar of the phantom army exploding simultaneously. The five massive serpent heads of the Swamp Hydra cut through the air at supersonic speeds. Their movements were so rapid they created tight spatial distortions around them. SNAP! CRUNCH! CRUNCH! In a single snap, three of the giant snake heads clamped their jaws shut, chewing through dozens of Blood Gargoyles at once until t
