Chapter 505: Successfull Completion of the Fifth Knull Invasion
Silence reigned for a couple of seconds, but it didn’t last, as Aster pressed down a button. One part of the floor opened up, and coming out were white-colored, comfy-looking sofas.
“Have a seat, Ryuk,” she said, and Ryuk nodded.
But he had yet to sit down when, suddenly, something appeared on the seat, making Ryuk pause his motion to look at the figure.
It was a small kitten, dark-colored and eyeing the environment before it turned its gaze up to look at Ryuk’s butt.
“Move it, Void,” Ryuk said, as Void scurried off.
Ryuk finally took his seat, turning to Void, who rolled his eyes at him.
“You still have your Void Cat pet with you?” Asteralaxia’s eyes gleamed as she looked at Void, who turned to look at her, raising an eyebrow as Aster noticed a bit of light flash in its eyes.
“Well, hello beauty. Seems like you know me, though I don’t know you. Beauty of fame, wouldn’t you say?” Void said, as everyone in the room turned their gaze to him.
“A talking cat!?” John said, as Void disappeared only to reappear on Aster’s table, turning a side glance to John.
“Never seen one before, green-haired?” he asked John, who confidently shook his head.
“I’m pretty sure cats don’t talk.”
“And I’m pretty sure it’s just because they’re all defective,” Void replied snickeringly, and even Ryuk chuckled a bit at the humorous words.
It was the first time he was seeing Void talk clearly, and it definitely had that sweet mouth.
“So, what’s up, beauty? Mind if I know the name?” Void asked, arriving before Aster while stretching out its thumb for a shake.
But then Aster’s eyes narrowed as she looked into Void’s eyes, and the image she could see was the image of her chest.
“That’s weird. I didn’t know Ryuk is the lecherous type,” Aster said, turning to Ryuk, who shook his head.
“No, I’m not. He’s not my kid. Must have gotten lecherous on his own…” Ryuk replied, as Void scoffed, looking at Ryuk, who looked elsewhere before he turned to look at Aster.
“Ahhh, lecherous. I feel deeply offended by such words, beauty. Wouldn’t you say my feelings are right though? Hmm?”
“Pfft. I’m not interested, little thing…”
“Oh, don’t say that. I’m anything but little, that I can reassure you…” Void said, smiling sheepishly.
Aster rolled her eyes but then turned to find Ryuk’s eyes focused on the blank air before him, most likely deep in thought.
“Who is he, Peak Wave Aster? You seem to know him very well…” John whispered to Asteralaxia, who refocused her attention on the flashing footage.
“He’s Ryuk. The Supreme Wave.”
“The… The Supreme Wave!? But… that position has been vacant for so long now, I thought it was just a joke,” John said as he turned back to look at Ryuk, exhaling a bit.
The StarWeave Organization was a powerful organization, almost as powerful as the Ascended Alliance itself, and they had five hierarchies amongst them.
Aster was a Peak Wave, the highest in position, and giving orders for the entire building. After her, there were about five more people, including him.
They are referred to as Top Waves.
But then, at the highest ranking was a mythic grade known as Supreme Wave. It was a vacant grade that was almost useless because Aster was the one who gave orders and she was the peak wave, just below the Supreme Wave.
Everyone new to the organization would always find themselves wondering why there was a vacant highest grade, especially since the one who built the organization was Asteralaxia, who was the Peak Wave. But eventually, they forget it.
But now hearing this—that this horned individual, who seemed more like a really young human, was the Supreme Wave—was something that shocked him speechless.
But then, when the memories of the footage from before replayed in his head and he remembered how he had taken an entire army of Knulls on his own, he wasn’t that much surprised anymore.
A being of that caliber of strength is more than worthy of being the Supreme Wave of the organization.
“But what’s he doing, though? He seems as if he’s in a little world of his own…”
And truly, to John, Ryuk was in a little world of his own.

‘A Pseudo-Knull King?’ Ryuk thought in his head as he looked again and again at the panel and saw the words “Pseudo-Knull King.”
‘So those things are not true Knull Kings like everyone refers to them as. They are Pseudo-Knull Kings.’
‘I can guess that if they are pseudo-kings, then the one who controls them must be the real Knull King.’
“And I think I already know who he is…” Ryuk thought silently to himself as he remembered those dreams he used to have.
The dream of that hooded Knull that sent fear down his spine. A nightmare that has haunted him ever since he could remember.
‘He must be the True Knull King. And the one who possesses one of my body parts.’
Ryuk silently thought to himself, but then—
“BEEEP”
“BEEEP”
“BEEEP”
The sound of beeping rang out through the place as Ryuk’s attention was brought back, and he turned to look at the footages hanging before Aster.
“The war has been won. They’ve successfully defeated the Knull King,” Aster said, barely able to contain the relief in her voice.
“And there were no casualties to the Eternity Stage Expert too…” John added, heaving in his heart.
“Endearth has finally been able to complete its sixth Knull Invasion,” he ended, as Ryuk’s eyes flashed.
“Sixth Knull Invasion!!?” he asked loudly in shock.
“I… I thought this should be the third?” he asked, as Aster turned to look at John before ordering:
“Tell them that the organizations will be giving a week of holiday for the success. All of them are free to go back home and resume next week Monday,” she said, as John’s eyes flashed before he nodded.
“You Top Waves too can take your holidays too. If I need any of you, I’ll call you up.”
“Very well, Peak Wave Aster. I’ll be reporting to them all now…” he said, bowing slightly before walking towards the elevator and leaving the room.
