The Monarch-Chapter 516: Time

Kayden awoke in the void, his entire body reconstructed. An infinite number of battles flooded his mind. Infernal pain should have accompanied the assimilation of so much information, but fortunately, there was none. It was as if Kayden had fought a battle every few minutes for billions of years.

A vast knowledge of his techniques and abilities blossomed in his mind. It felt as though he had spent an immense amount of time training. Moreover, he could now see many flaws in his techniques, as in numerous timeline variants, he had been completely destroyed by lightning.

Neither his body nor his mind had improved, yet something seemed to have changed. Kayden could feel that his potential had increased an infinite number of times. Previously, he felt there was a strength limiter for each realm he entered, and every time he reached it, he was pushed to the next realm. This time, however, there was none. Kayden could no longer sense the ceiling of the seventh realm.

He had gained no direct enhancements. Kayden would literally stick to his life philosophy without compromise: he would never allow any living being to improve his body against his will. He was the master of himself, and only he could make such changes. Without much thought, he realized his sixth sense could now easily reach hundreds of millions of kilometers. His power was truly reaching a terrifying level.

Kayden returned to the real world and unleashed his entire aura upon the universe—not out of free will, but as if the heavens themselves demanded it of him. Furthermore, the boy was curious to extend his aura and see how far it could reach.

In a mere blink of an eye, everything within ten million kilometers of Kayden fell under his control. Moreover, his aura simply destroyed everything. The pressure was so immense that all matter was crushed into heaps of mana. Kayden flattened mountain ranges as if they were nothing but jelly. Entire cities vanished without leaving any trace of their existence, and living beings were reduced directly into clumps of mana.

His aura was so heavy that it could alter the planet’s trajectory if he kept pressing it down for an extended period. When Kayden expanded his reach further, he could simply erase planets from existence as if he were a god. It was utterly insane.

"Congratulations, Master," Atlas appeared near Kayden, emanating the aura of a ten-ray mage. When their eyes met, they both understood they were facing a fellow ten-ray mage. Which of them was stronger was an enigma.

"Thank you, Atlas," Kayden merely replied, looking around. He had finally reached ten rays but found himself completely alone in the universe once again. As complete as he felt at this moment, he had grown used to having Athena by his side.

"I found a time-space specialist mage. He’ll reconstruct Athena’s death, but it will take him several thousand years to gather all the fragments across the timeline. Let’s get the one who did this." Kayden simply smiled and nodded at Atlas.

The fight between the two was only a matter of time, and Kayden knew it. In fact, the entire universe would likely come after him. Atlas had far greater influence than he did, given who his parents were. Furthermore, no one would want to provoke all the false gods. This would render Kayden a pariah across the entire universe.

Kayden also understood that his power would frighten most beings. The strong are only admired when they cannot be touched. At the first sign of weakness, ants would unite to topple an elephant, and that was precisely what would happen throughout the universe. Everyone would seek to destroy what instills fear, and Kayden would undoubtedly be that figure.

"Congratulations, Honor Kayden," said the Honor leader, appearing alongside the vice-leader. As the woman arrived, the stars shone brighter, and the moon glowed with a completely different color, evidencing that the laws of the place had shifted. Kayden did not feel the pressure of a ten-ray mage emanating from these two.

The silver-haired man radiated a strong aura, but it was incapable of exerting any oppression over Kayden. Both used the strongest portable spatial portals they possessed to reach the birthplace of the living legend before them. This was a friendly relationship they couldn’t afford to lose.

"Thank you, Leader Ryan. I appreciate everyone coming, but I’ve just lost my soulmate and don’t wish to have any contact with other beings at this time." Ryan and the vice-leader were unaware that Athena had died.

This new information came as a complete shock to the two. Losing a soulmate was utterly insane, yet Kayden still stood, displaying clear signs of rationality. Any other mage would have been on the brink of madness. The pair merely nodded and left with Atlas, leaving Kayden alone.

Kayden would have a few thousand years before it was discovered that he was Athena’s killer. During this time, he would elevate his power to an entirely superior level. Without hesitation, Kayden sat down and began cultivating. He didn’t want to be disturbed and simply let his oppressive aura ravage the ten million kilometers around him. No one could step near without Kayden noticing.

The space around him was completely sealed this time. Not even Atlas could teleport close without Kayden reacting in time. Kayden was fully dedicated to his objectives.

As time slowly passed, Kayden began to extend his sixth sense without much difficulty, growing several thousand kilometers every few days. His growth speed was far superior to anything he had ever witnessed. His talent had reached an insane level. Kayden could simply sit and breathe, and his sixth sense would naturally grow effortlessly.

It was madness, but Kayden hardly needed to think to solve problems in his cultivation. He simply observed a problem, and the solution appeared in his mind automatically. At this moment, Kayden was undoubtedly the most talented individual in the entire universe.

Perhaps only a mage like Zeus could rival him, though Kayden still doubted it. Zeus might be able to manipulate a law, but he couldn’t easily comprehend others. Kayden was confident he could now learn anything—any technique, any law. Everything was entirely within his reach.
