The raging Hellfire nearly set the entire Void ablaze.

Even with [Water Shield] defending her from the front, Evelyn could still feel the scorching waves of heat crashing against her.

She could clearly sense that the energy inside her body was being rapidly consumed. It was only because she was currently still in her rules state that she could endure it. Otherwise, she would not have lasted long at all.

"Caelan, what kind of abilities do you think Kate still possesses?"

The Supreme Staff asked its question. At this moment, even it had lost its usual composure.

"I think... Kate might be the most perfect existence."

Caelan opened his mouth and gave his answer.

At the same time, he truly felt Kate’s power.

Such overwhelming strength did indeed seem more suitable than his own for becoming the Chosen One.

On the other side, the Supreme Staff simply could not accept Caelan saying something like that.

"Little Caelan, don’t give up on yourself! Although I also don’t understand why something so close to impossible would actually happen to you, as long as you don’t give up, we may still have a chance."

Most of what the Supreme Staff said was, in truth, meant to comfort him.

At this very moment, even it could not see any method Caelan could use to break the deadlock.

But precisely because of that, the Supreme Staff became even more confused.

It was clearly certain that Caelan was the Chosen One, so why did things that broke common sense keep happening to him?

Although the Supreme Staff had already sensed the relationship between Caelan and Kate before this, the problem was—

Could the Chosen One be replaced?

Moreover, Kate’s existence itself was dependent on Caelan. Back when they were still embryos, they had already merged together.

If viewed from that angle, then it was indeed possible for Kate to become the Chosen One as well.

But the Supreme Staff still felt that something about this was not quite reasonable.

Even with its experience and insight, however, it still could not pinpoint exactly where the unreasonable part lay.

Just what kind of secret was this kid Caelan hiding?

At that moment, a bold thought suddenly emerged in the Supreme Staff’s mind.

According to the strength of Chosen Ones from different eras, the Chosen One of every era would grow stronger than the last, but never to an excessively overpowered degree.

This situation had continued for many eras.

But Caelan’s strength, in this current era, was already far beyond the norm.

And the strength Kate displayed was even more absurdly beyond the norm!

So, could something special be destined to happen in this era?

A vague guess formed in the Supreme Staff’s heart.

But soon after, it realized something even more important.

Wait.

If Caelan truly merged with Kate’s strength in the end, wouldn’t he become far too overpowered?

Thinking of this, the Supreme Staff immediately grew deeply worried.

The rules state of a Chosen One was often linked to the strength of their Mirror Image.

The stronger the Mirror Image, the stronger the power displayed by the rules state.

If Caelan truly subdued Kate, then his strength would probably not increase by something as simple as twofold!

The Supreme Staff restrained its thoughts, but deep inside, it was extremely delighted.

The reason it had chosen to fall into slumber, besides ensuring the inheritance of [Dark Titan], was because it had an even more important goal.

It wanted to witness the end of everything.

Originally, it thought this era was merely another cycle among countless reincarnations.

But the convention-breaking experiences Caelan had displayed gave the Supreme Staff a faint premonition.

Could the fate of countless cycles truly be broken by this boy?

On the other side, Caelan had no idea what the Supreme Staff was thinking or judging.

Facing Kate’s fierce assault, all he could do now was grit his teeth and hold on.

"Damn it. Why is my Mirror Image so hard to deal with?"

"It’s clearly just a [class star-up mutation quest]. Does it really need to go this far?"

...

Through [Legendary Adventure], Caelan had actually already learned of his own origins.

More accurately, he had been summoned into the World of Myriad Races by the "him" from the World of Myriad Races.

It was precisely because of this that Caelan’s experiences in the World of Myriad Races had broken the usual conventions of a Chosen One.

From a certain perspective, the "him" of this world had already planned out a route for him.

And that "him" had a very simple goal.

In this era, he intended to completely end the cycle of fate.

Caelan rubbed his brow, and his own judgment formed in his mind.

If all of this had been planned by the other "him," then the Kate before his eyes was very clearly that person’s masterpiece.

Thinking of this, Caelan’s gaze began to search Kate continuously.

Caelan admitted that his strength was inferior to Kate’s. Therefore, he hoped he could use Kate to make up for his own flaws and shortcomings.

If all of this had truly been designed by the other "him," then merging with Kate was his only option.

Thinking of this, Caelan subconsciously rubbed his brow again.

He raised his head, looked toward the endless Void above, and said,

"So... all of this was arranged by you, wasn’t it?"

Caelan’s words made both Evelyn and the Supreme Staff freeze.

The Supreme Staff, in particular, flew in front of Caelan almost instantly.

"Kid, what exactly do you know?"

Caelan smiled faintly and did not answer.

Of course, he had no chance to respond anyway.

Because Kate’s attacks were already sweeping over like a violent storm, blotting out the sky and covering the earth!

Black flames carrying a dense dark aura were constantly corroding [Water Shield].

Seeing that [Water Shield] was already on the verge of collapse, Caelan did not hesitate. He placed one hand on Evelyn’s shoulder.

"Come with me!"

The next moment, [Flashstep] activated.

Caelan’s figure disappeared directly from where he stood.

Although they had temporarily escaped danger, there was not the slightest hint of relief on either of their faces.

"Caelan, we have to be careful. My premonition about this doesn’t feel good."

After Evelyn finished speaking, she temporarily released her rules state.

The rules state had a limited duration. She had to ensure she possessed sufficient power to face the battle that would come next.

Caelan could tell that Evelyn had truly become serious this time.

After thinking about it, he still took the initiative to comfort her.

"Evelyn, you actually don’t need to worry too much. Although Kate is indeed very powerful, she still can’t kill us. After all, no matter how strong she is, she is only at the peak of 5-star."

"And besides... I’m not as weak as you think!"

"Don’t forget, I am the true Chosen One. She is only my Mirror Image!"

The next moment, Caelan gripped his longsword horizontally with both hands and swung it forcefully in Kate’s direction.

"[Final Burst]!!!"
