Chapter 480: GOING ALL IN
Mephistopheles remained at Baal’s side, the only two left standing amid the wreckage of cosmic slaughter.
Everyone else had been taken care of, permanently.
Neither dared speak.
A death sentence hung over them like a guillotine blade, and they both understood silence was their only shield.
Mephistopheles clung desperately to life, every shallow breath a quiet plea to keep existing.
Baal, however, hid something far darker beneath his composed mask.
He was growing stronger.
With every sovereign and god who fell, Baal quietly siphoned fragments of their essence.
Power trickled into him like stolen wine, subtle and steady.
He thought himself clever, profiting in the shadows while Aaron remained distracted.
He had no idea Aaron already knew.
Aaron had noticed the faint parasitic threads Baal wove with each death.
But he chose to ignore them, for now.
The petty theft paled in comparison to what he was building.
Baal believed he was the one playing the long game, biding his time and growing fat on the carnage.
In truth, Aaron was the architect of the entire charade.
His true priority lay elsewhere: solidifying his rank as a full sovereign before the temporary title expired and left him vulnerable.
It took time, long, deliberate minutes stretched across the folding void.
X watched with patient curiosity, his mechanical gaze fixed on Aaron like a scientist studying an unexpected specimen.
Baal continued consolidating his stolen strength, oblivious to how thoroughly he had been outmaneuvered.
Finally, the last threads of space locked into place.
With a silent, universe-shaking pulse, Aaron evicted every remaining being into the cold emptiness beyond.
The fractured cosmos folded inward like burning paper, collapsing into a single, devouring point.
Then Aaron consumed it.
He devoured the entire universe whole.every star, every memory, every dying scream,.absorbing it into his core until nothing remained but himself and the endless black.
[Congratulations! You have reached the Sovereign rank!]
[You have gained a Lucky Draw]
[Spin the wheel to receive a reward]
"Perfect," Aaron murmured, a wide, genuine grin splitting his face. "Exactly what I was waiting for."
"To think you devoured an entire universe," X said, amusement threading through his flat, robotic voice.
"Quite the greedy man, aren’t you?"
He remained seated on his towering throne, the mechanical fortress humming softly in the void.
The original purpose of his invasion, the debt, the collateral, had already faded into irrelevance. X no longer cared about conquest.
All he wanted now was Aaron.
He stared at the newly ascended sovereign the way a vivisectionist gazes at a perfect specimen: eager, clinical, hungry to peel back layers and study every cell, every secret.
Aaron was no longer an opponent, he was a puzzle begging to be taken apart.
"Don’t give me that stupid look," Aaron said sharply. "There’s no way you can beat me."
He turned his attention away from X and focused on the spinning wheel that had materialized before him, its edges glowing with promise.
Something about the naked greed in X’s stare grated against him, fueling a deeper resolve.
He decided to go all in.
As for Baal and Mephistopheles, both had already been quietly blacklisted in Aaron’s mind.
Their fates were sealed the moment they chose to linger.
"Hey," Aaron asked X casually, almost conversationally.
"What’s your honest reaction to people who kill two birds with one stone?"
X tilted his head slightly, playing along. "I love smart people like that. Doing so is the smartest way to go."
His tone carried the patient indulgence of someone fattening a lamb before the slaughter.
"Right?" Aaron continued, his smile sharpening.
"You all know my soul was severed long ago. I grew weakened. Lost most of my abilities. But one talent, one single talent, wasn’t affected in the slightest."
"What are you talking about?" Baal asked, a frown creasing his face. Unease flickered behind his eyes for the first time.
Aaron ignored the question.
"You all return to the sanctuary," he sent telepathically to every being still tethered to him. "Except if you want to suffer a fate worse than death."
"What are you up to?" Dracula asked, voice edged with suspicion.
Aaron didn’t answer.
He simply shook his head and tore open a rift.
Dracula hesitated only a heartbeat before stepping through.
He had seen enough of Aaron’s madness to know staying would be suicide.
One by one, the others followed.
Under Alice’s swift instructions, as many lives as possible were pulled to safety.
Nick was saved.
His brother, however, had already disintegrated in the wake of Zeus’s death.
"What are you up to that so many people are retreating?" X asked, his relaxed posture finally stiffening. Curiosity had given way to wariness.
"Relax," Aaron replied, his grin widening into something almost feral.
"This is where the fun part begins."
With every non-essential life evacuated, Aaron turned inward.
He reached for the very first and most fundamental talent he possessed, the one that had labored quietly in the background all this time, overshadowed by flashier abilities, yet never diminished.
It had waited patiently.
Now, it was ready to be unleashed.
The talent was none other than his minuscule God-rank ability: Crown of Luck.
Talent: God Rank – Crown of Luck
You don’t ride luck’s wave, you are its source. Chance, fate, and fortune bend to your will.
Reality’s threads quiver at your step, bowing in silent submission to your mere presence.
Abilities:
1. Omni-Fortune (Absolute Passive)
No probability exists for you. Every outcome automatically selects what is best for you. No chance. Only your will, absolute and final.
2. Fortune’s Spoils (Passive)
Loot jumps tiers. Chests, drops, rewards, every single one arrives two to three levels higher than it should. Rare finds and hidden treasures seek you out like moths drawn helplessly to flame.
3. Destiny Rewrite (Active – 7-day cooldown)
Change any event, past or future. The new outcome becomes reality’s unshakeable truth. Gods, primordials, even the oldest watchers remain blind to your alteration.
4. Luck Harvest (Active)
Steal fortune from everyone nearby, dooming them to cascading ruin. Armies crumble beneath chain disasters while your own luck surges to impossible heights. Lasts twenty-four hours. Relentless. Unforgiving.
5. Cosmic Jackpot (Passive / Yearly Trigger)
Once per year, the cosmos itself hands you a miracle. A talent ascending to primordial rank, a god-tier mount, a perfect bloodline, rewards so absurd they lie far beyond mortal comprehension.
6. Fate Overwrite (Passive)
Death, doom, and predetermined fate cannot claim you. Reality itself twists and bends to keep you breathing.
Unlimited uses, but each rewrite grows stranger, the fabric of existence warping in increasingly bizarre ways.
7. Singularity of Fortune (Passive Aura)
You are luck’s living core. Allies bask in insane fortune: sudden breakthroughs, secret discoveries, impossible strokes of grace. Enemies drown in unrelenting calamity with no path of escape. The aura cannot be turned off. Ever.
8. Paradox Immunity (Passive)
Contradictions born from your luck? Reality quietly corrects them. Time loops, clashing fates, divine conflicts, all adjust seamlessly to favor you. No questions. No consequences.
9. Domain of Inevitability (Active Ultimate)
Unleash absolute control over chance itself. Within the sealed domain, every action unfolds exactly as you desire. Enemies are forced to choose the worst possible path every single time. Duration: ten minutes. Cooldown: one full month.
