Chapter 2: Informations

As the screens continued to hover in the air, new information appeared before everyone's eyes, causing discomfort. This information aimed to clarify the situation for the masses.

"The Awakening is the process through which a world and its inhabitants must evolve to acquire various powers.

These powers vary among individuals.

For instance, some may gain control over fire, while others might experience muscle growth or enhanced cognitive abilities.

There are instances of different individuals sharing the same power, but what distinguishes them is their Bloodline.

At the onset of the [Awakening], an individual will awaken their bloodline to a certain extent.

To illustrate, considering your human history, some may awaken a Sword Bloodline, enhancing their proficiency with swords.

Alternatively, a Weapon Control Bloodline might make one proficient not only with a sword but with various weapons. However, it won't confer an advantage in a fight against someone wielding a sword with the Sword Bloodline.

Bloodlines aren't exclusively associated with Weapon Bloodlines or Elemental Bloodlines; it could be a Rock Bloodline, which enhances one's durability and defensive capabilities.

Of course, a direct Elemental Bloodline and the like are superior to a SoftBody Bloodline or a Rat Bloodline, as they are tied to the Laws of the Universe. However, this remains far beyond the current state of our planet.

Furthermore, the Awakening process will extend not only to humans but also to all lifeforms on your planet." The light on the screen paused briefly, allowing everyone to digest the information.

As Nova reached this point, he realized the potential consequences for Earth's inhabitants if all the animals suddenly went on a rampage or became powerful enough to threaten them.

Just as he was about to ask Juan for his thoughts on the matter, some startling information caught him off guard, sending a chill down his spine.

------

"As a final reminder, enjoy your last moments of peace before the natural [Awakening] takes place. Be aware that there is a one-in-ten-million chance of awakening an Elemental Bloodline, Sword, and so forth."

Concluding with a warning, the screens began to dissipate into nothingness.

For those who cannot withstand their [Awakening], the outcome will be death!

Everyone was left stunned by this revelation, terrified by the implications of those words.

All those who had reached this part of the information were gripped by fear, pondering what the future held and what fate awaited Earth.

Nova and those close to him continued to peruse the information, which included the lower realms from 1st Stage Rank 1 to 9th Stage Rank 9, with higher realms beyond their comprehension.

This information was brief, as it was not yet necessary for them to understand the other Realms. They would likely gain knowledge of these Realms as they progressed.

-----

In a remote and forgotten corner of the universe, a man opened his eyes, eyes that seemed to contain the endless expanse of the cosmos.

"So, the new generation is beginning to awaken once more. This time, I hope all the grievances from the past will be fully rectified. No, he must endure tenfold for the catastrophic event that unfolded," the man's eyes emitted a terrifying light, capable of reducing entire planets to ashes.

A throne began to materialize behind the man, and after a few seconds of surveying the surrounding darkness, the man and the throne began to vanish from existence.

-----

On Earth,

As though everything that had transpired were an illusion, the entire Earth fell deathly silent. The wind ceased, and the birds' chirping ceased as all lifeforms on Earth began to [Awaken].

Nova fought off exhaustion as long as he could. He observed as a radiant aura enveloped the others, and they gradually closed their eyes before drifting into slumber.

-----

Somewhere in the deep and vast universe, a man in a gray robe, with a glowing crystal before him, sensed the changes brought about by the Awakening.

"The Awakening, once again, attempts to resist by weakening itself and bestowing its immense powers upon insignificant creatures," the man scowled, his expression one of displeasure.

Emerging into the void of space, a beautiful young woman drew near to him. She had long, flowing purple hair, purple eyes adorned with stars, and a captivating figure that could mesmerize anyone. She epitomized beauty in the entirety of the multiverse. Her voice was sweet, akin to a potent drug for those who listened.

"Grey, you are becoming obsessed. Please cease fixating on the World Crystal," the young woman urged.

Grey's face curled into a sneer as he looked back at the woman before delivering a warning.

"Don't think you can command me, Purple. Even if you've been appointed as the Seed of Destruction, my position isn't one you can casually order around.

Anyway, that's beside the point. Look at the World Crystal for yourself. I've stumbled upon something significant this time," Grey stated before passing the World Crystal to Purple.

Purple remained skeptical of Grey's claim until she attempted to perceive what the World Crystal conveyed. Her expression changed instantaneously to one of shock.

"This! It's found one of the Origin Stars! How is that possible? All the Origin Stars were thought to have been discovered. How can a new one suddenly emerge?" Purple was genuinely stunned.

Grey derived a sense of satisfaction from her reaction, but he hid it well, aware that she was usually a cold and aloof individual who disliked embarking on missions.

After contemplating for a moment, Grey nodded.

"Go ahead, but be cautious, as typically, the possessor of an Origin Star may be progressing at a rapid pace. By the time you reach Earth, you might not find them anymore."

Purple nodded in response to Grey's words before setting foot on the starry expanse. Her expression grew grave.

'Why did the Awakening choose Earth of all places?! My home...'

Purple accelerated through numerous universes, with Earth as her destination.
