Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100-Chapter 292: Branch of the Black Lotus Guild

"You're here. Good." Klaus was the first to speak, his voice carrying a hint of urgency. His arms were crossed, his usual smirk absent.

Max frowned, sensing something off. "What's going on?"

"Pack your things." Klaus gestured toward him, a small grin creeping onto his lips. "We're leaving."

Max's brows furrowed. "Leaving? 'Where to?'"

Klaus let out a short chuckle. "Anywhere we won't be hunted down."

Max stared at him for a second before his expression relaxed. 'So, they've finally caught wind of something.'

It wasn't a surprising development.

The Black Lotus Guild was always a step ahead when it came to intelligence gathering. If Klaus was saying they needed to leave, then something was definitely coming their way.

"Alright." Max nodded, accepting the decision. He had questions—many questions—but first, they needed to move. "Then let's go. I have a lot I need to ask you all."

Klaus's grin widened, but his eyes remained sharp. "I figured as much. But first, we need to leave the Sun Palace before certain… 'individuals' come knocking at our door."

With that, he turned, leading the group toward the exit of the mansion.

Max wasted no time. He swiftly entered his room, grabbing only the essentials.

With practiced ease, he donned his black hoodie and pulled over his featureless white mask—a simple but effective disguise that would allow him to blend into the shadows.

As he adjusted his mask, he took a final glance around the dimly lit room before leaving and following others.

***

Beneath the surface of the West Region, in a place concealed from the eyes of the world, a small city thrived in the shadows.

This city, while not as vast as the Sun Palace, possessed a mysterious aura that far exceeded its grandeur. The air was thick with secrecy, and every corner seemed to whisper the weight of unseen power.

It was the Hidden City—the concealed stronghold of the Black Lotus Guild's branch in the West Region.

Unlike its Main Branch in the East, which was a true fortress of unparalleled strength, this city was more compact, more discreet, yet it still held enough influence to shake the balance of power in the West.

The major difference between the Main Branch and its Western counterpart was not only size but also the absence of the Inheritance Tower—the sacred structure that contained the bloodline inheritance of the Black Dragon Chaotic Bloodline.

The Main Branch's Hidden City had access to this ancient structure, a legacy that had shaped countless generations of the guild's strongest warriors.

Yet despite this, the branch members had still undergone the same bloodline evolution that had shaken the Black Lotus Guild to its very core.

It had happened on the same day as in the Main Branch—when Max had stepped into the Inheritance Tower, unleashing an event that no one had foreseen.

The moment his bloodline was recognized by the Inheritance Tower, a transformation had swept through every member of the Black Lotus Guild, regardless of location.

Those in the Main Branch had first felt it—a surge of unstoppable power, a strengthening of their bloodline, an undeniable connection to the very source of their lineage. Their bodies had glowed with a gentle white light, marking their ascent to a higher level of existence.

But the shock came when the same thing happened across all branches.

The members of the Hidden City in the West Region also experienced the same evolution.

Their bloodlines surged, their power increased, and their connection to the source deepened. It was as if Max's bloodline had sent out a command to the entire network of Black Dragon Chaotic Bloodlines, forcing them to evolve, whether they were worthy or not.

For the first time in history, a single individual had caused a guild-wide evolution—an event so impossible that even the Old Saintess and the Progenitor of the Black Lotus Guild had been left speechless.

It was no longer a coincidence.

It was destiny.

The branch members of the West Region now stood on equal ground with their Main Branch counterparts, at least in terms of bloodline purity and potential.

How did it happen?

How did a single event in the Inheritance Tower cause the entire Black Lotus Guild, across every region, every branch, every hidden city, to experience a simultaneous bloodline evolution?

The answer lay in the foundation of the Black Lotus Guild itself—in the way its members awakened their bloodline.

Unlike other factions that inherited their lineages through birth alone, the Black Lotus Guild's bloodline was different.

It was something that needed to be awakened, something that required a connection to one singular entity—the Inheritance Tower.

For centuries, every member of the Black Lotus Guild, regardless of their birthplace, had undergone the same sacred rite of passage. They had to journey to the Main Branch—to the Hidden City in the East Region, where the only Inheritance Tower stood.

It was within this tower that their dormant bloodlines were activated, that the power of the Black Dragon Chaotic Bloodline surged through them for the first time.

It was a tradition, but more than that, it was a necessity.

Without the Inheritance Tower, no one could awaken the bloodline.

But there was a side effect to this process, something that no one had ever considered before.

When the bloodline of a member was awakened, it didn't just exist within them.

It remained linked—forever bound—to the very source of its awakening.

The Inheritance Tower wasn't just an ancient relic or a sacred monument.

It was the center of a vast, invisible web.

Every person who underwent bloodline awakening through the tower was not just given power, but also unknowingly connected to it.

Like an intricate network of threads, every member—whether from the Main Branch or one of the many branches scattered across Valora Continent—had their bloodline tethered to the tower.

It had always been this way.

Yet, no one had ever thought about what would happen if something unprecedented occurred within the tower.

And then, Max appeared.

The moment Max stepped into the Inheritance Tower, something changed.

His bloodline was authenticated—not just recognized, but acknowledged by the very foundation of the tower.

It reacted.

The tower, which had stood silent for eons, suddenly awakened, as if responding to something far beyond its own understanding. It wasn't just the power of a Saintess Bloodline, nor was it the might of a Progenitor Bloodline.

It was something greater.

Something the Inheritance Tower had never seen before.

Something that shouldn't even exist.

And yet, it did.

The Source Bloodline.

The moment Max's bloodline came into contact with the Inheritance Tower, the very foundation of the Black Lotus Guild shook.

It didn't just affect him.

It didn't just affect those present in the Main Branch.

Because the Inheritance Tower was connected to every single bloodline that had ever been awakened through it, the evolution Max triggered didn't stay confined to one place.

Like a chain reaction, it spread.

It traveled through the invisible web of connections, reaching every single member of the Black Lotus Guild, no matter where they were in the world.

At least in the Lower Domain.

In the Hidden City of the Main Branch, in the small outposts scattered across the continent, in the Western Hidden City, and even in distant regions where the Black Lotus had long-established footholds—every single person linked to the Inheritance Tower found their bloodline evolving.

It was impossible.

It was unprecedented.

But it happened.
