The atmosphere inside the house slowly settled after the initial chaos faded, although Ragnar still looked at me like he was debating whether hugging me again or punching me through the wall would better express his feelings, while North stayed close enough that every time I glanced in her direction I could still see the lingering anger beneath the relief in her eyes.
Eventually everyone gathered around what remained of the sitting area after Silver repaired most of the damage caused by Ragnar’s aura, and once things calmed enough for an actual conversation to happen, I finally began recounting everything that had happened inside Oriel.
At first they listened with curiosity, but the deeper I went into the story, the quieter the room became. I explained the reincarnation world, the wars between believers and defiers, the conquest of the empires, the Divinity gathered from the worlds, and finally the Crimson Treasury itself along with the treasures I obtained there.
Steve stopped interrupting halfway through and simply stared at me like he was trying to decide whether I was exaggerating or genuinely insane, while Primus leaned forward more and more as the discussion shifted toward the laws governing reincarnation worlds and the treasury connected to the Crimson Authorities.
"So," Steve finally muttered after I finished, rubbing both hands across his face slowly, "you disappeared for thirty-seven days and somehow ended up conquering an entire world again."
I shrugged slightly.
"When you say it like that it sounds excessive."
"It is excessive," Aurora replied immediately while narrowing her eyes at me, although there was faint amusement hidden beneath her expression now that the earlier panic had faded.
After that the discussion shifted naturally toward everything that had happened within the Blue Spiral during my absence. Aurora and Primus explained the progress regarding the Absolute Academy first, and from the way both of them spoke, it was obvious the project had already grown far beyond the scale we originally imagined.
Construction was nearly complete now, and the news regarding the academy had already spread throughout almost every major world and organization across the Blue Spiral Galaxy.
Young talents from powerful clans, ancient bloodlines, independent worlds, and even hidden races had already begun moving toward Abor hoping to participate.
"We are finalizing the first examination process now," Aurora explained while projecting several structures and formations into the air using light essence. "The goal is not simply to recruit strong fighters. We want the absolute best talents the galaxy can produce."
Primus nodded immediately beside her.
"The number of applicants alone is already absurd. Entire worlds are holding internal competitions just to decide who they want to send here."
The conversation shifted again after that as Ragnar and Ash began discussing the new legion they intended to create beneath the Order of Absolute. Unlike ordinary military organizations, this legion would consist entirely of elite fighters selected from every race and major world willing to cooperate with us.
Ragnar spoke about it with obvious excitement while Ash casually added details regarding ongoing negotiations and combat trials already taking place in several regions of the galaxy.
"We already have most races interested," Ragnar explained while leaning forward heavily against the repaired table. "Some joined because they fear us. Others because they genuinely want to stand under the Order. Either way it works for me."
Ash nodded slightly.
"And once it stabilizes, it will become the strongest combat force in the Blue Spiral."
Silver then updated me regarding the intelligence network I had asked him to establish earlier. The demon I placed in charge of information gathering had apparently exceeded all expectations and already begun building hidden operational bases across multiple worlds, using trade routes, mercenary groups, and smaller organizations as cover.
"Once the network is complete," Silver said calmly, "nothing significant will happen inside the Blue Spiral without us learning about it first."
By the time everyone finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room had shifted completely from tension to momentum. The Order of Absolute was no longer a rising faction struggling for influence. It had already become the dominant force of the galaxy.
And now it was time to secure that position permanently.
I finally summoned the Boundary Token from my soul.
The moment the object appeared above my palm, the room grew quiet again. Crimson-gold light spread softly across the surroundings while ancient runes rotated continuously across the surface of the token, carrying an aura far older and heavier than ordinary treasures.
"This," I said while looking around at everyone, "should stop the Crimson Zone from spreading into the Blue Spiral."
Nobody spoke immediately after hearing that. Then Ragnar stood up so quickly his chair slid backward across the floor.
"Well then," he said, "why are we still sitting here?"
Soon afterward all of us traveled toward the oceanic region surrounding the island where I had previously established the teleportation circle leading to Vaythos. The night sky stretched endlessly above the sea while waves rolled calmly beneath the moonlight, and after arriving there, I turned toward Vivi.
"Can you create another island nearby?"
She smiled faintly before raising one hand.
The ocean beneath us trembled almost instantly.
Then the water split apart violently as enormous amounts of stone and earth rose upward from the depths, the sea folding around itself while Vivi shaped the land effortlessly through her connection with the Blue Spiral. Within minutes an entirely new island stood beside the original one, massive and untouched, its surface still wet from the ocean depths it had risen from.
I stepped toward the center of it slowly while everyone watched in silence behind me.
Then I summoned the Boundary Token fully.
The artifact floated above my hand for a moment before I pressed my palm against it and infused my essence directly into its core.
The reaction was immediate.
The island shook.
A gigantic pillar erupted upward from beneath the ground, ancient stone covered entirely in glowing runes and inscriptions that shifted continuously across its surface. Even after restoring my complete soul and laws, I couldn’t recognize the language carved into the structure.
At the top of the pillar, a small crimson flame flickered into existence.
Then the entire structure pulsed.
A ripple spread outward from it instantly.
The crimson-gold wave crossed the island first before tearing across the entire planet at terrifying speed, moving through oceans, mountains, cities, and skies before continuing into open space itself.
"Track it," I said while looking toward Vivi.
She closed her eyes immediately.
