King of succubus

A week ago, the current empress of the phoenixes, Saria, who has the competence of a prophet linked to her divine affinity, the affinity of destiny, had had a strange dream.

Why strange? Because of unlike her other prophetic dreams that are blurred and difficult to understand the meaning of, the dream of this time was as clear and precise as if she were attending the scene.

The content of her strange dream in question was none other than Alvine, who helped Assiaphir to assimilate his bloodlines properly. But after seeing the results, for the first time, she herself doubted the veracity of what she had just seen.

In addition, even if it was a trap, the information was too enticing and heavy to be forgotten. She then reported the details of her dream to Lith to better broaden her horizons before disturbing the elders who lived only for meditation.

In addition, even if her powers of destiny are nothing compared to Serena's, it does not mean she cannot correctly use the few transcendent powers that this affinity gives her.

"It's...hey, are you sure it wasn't rather your ardent desire that made you hallucinate?" That was Lith's question after hearing his partner's words.

Help a divine mage to reach the primordial rank instantly. What did the word 'primordial' mean to begin with? The beginning, the origin, the oldest and most primitive.

Speaking of a living being, it will mean the oldest. When it comes to power, it will mean power in the pure state and the perfect state. In other words, a primordial being transcends all others, whether their powers or intelligence or even speaking of cruelty or other insignificant factors such as wealth, etc.

This tiny yet unfathomable difference between them and the primordials forced them to lower their head and hide their tails between their legs to avoid being treated like the others in front of such beings. A humiliation they had suffered for millennia is not ready to change despite the joint efforts of their ancestors. In the end, it was hopeless.

Thus, after a long debate between these two sovereign friends, they decided to keep the information for themselves... at least until it was certified.

​ At this conclusion, the two decided to use all means to get in touch with Alvine. And with the time difference between the meteorite where Alvine resides and the rank one planet where Lith and Seria reside, it took only a few weeks for them to locate Alvine, who came by himself into the wolf's mouth.

...

Now, Saria's explanation was like a celestial melody that helped Lith relax.

"Contrary to what you think, my dear Lith, this mission is more successful than we hoped. Not only did my prophetic dream turn out to be true, but even better, I discovered the identity of the person who became the first primordial mage in history. And you will never guess the identity of this person. But I still give you a chance to try to guess her race." She said with a slight smile as if it amused her to perpetuate the mystery.

"...Sigh, since you said it, so what's the point of making me wait? In short, I would say that she is an elf."

"Hehe~, that's the answer I was waiting for from you. Technically, elves and fairies are the most sensitive to the different types of energy in the universe. But unfortunately, you are wrong; The only guardian of the planet Frayja but also the only daughter of the lord of lust, Assiaphir, I think it's his name." She said, shaking her finger.

Lith frowned after hearing the identity of the new primordial mage. "Sigh, I think I'm starting to understand what happened." She says in a monotonous tone with a depressive air.

By simply hearing the title of Galiel, she instinctively guessed that Asiaphir was a succubus. Apart from that, she also knew the identity of the planet's guardian, coveted by all because of the legends that the Fraydja planet would be formed from the original planet. But it was not the reason that made this planet covetous in the eyes of all; since all the planets of rank one are fragments of the first original planet that the goddess had created.

But the most important thing was the information that stated that this planet had formed with the debris from where the supreme tree was planted.

But the reason that changed Lith's mood after hearing about the Assaphir breed was that she had concluded that the latter had reached this rank only by using Alvine to practice dual cultivation. Superior races like them did not have the right to link to other races, regardless of motivations or benefits. Their bloodlines must remain pure to prevent losing their ancestral legacies; it was an absolute taboo that deserved the death sentence if a third dared to cross this limit.

Saria, who seemed to understand this rule they have in common, slightly pinched Lith's cheek to wake her up in her depressive state. "You don't have to worry about this detail. Everything is under control. I can't tell you how I got this information that is linked to the confidentiality terms of my people, but I know everything that is to know. You are surely one of the people who know me the most, so trust me, we don't have much time to hesitate. That is our only chance to stand up to these arrogant beings. Now that we have located that the trigger our ancestors are desperately looking for, it is only a matter of time before we are transcendent beings."

-Knock, knock, knock

At the other end of the universe, Linnaella, who had just returned to her mansion, knocked on Alvine’s bedroom door, who had been meditating since Linn's departure.

After lending Galiel's life book, she had no choice but to stay on the planet of the Punishers to read it. Unlike other books, books of lives cannot leave the planet; to prevent any information leakage.

But even if Linn had only taken three days on the planet of the Punishers to read Galiel's life book, about four months had already passed on the small meteorite that was considered a rank-four planet.

The flow of time was too slow on a rank one planet (of which thirty minutes is the equivalent of a day on a rank four planet).

But during these four months, Alvine had not set foot outside. Not to mention setting foot outside, it was the first time he had taken so long to cultivate diligently without reaching his goal.

'One year! I cultivated it for a long year diligently. But I still can't reach this fucking divine rank. Is the divine rank more complicated to reach than I thought? Have I forgotten an important detail? But the strangest thing is that my mana has become 80% light golden, but I can't trigger this damn divine tribulation!' He said to himself while completely ignoring Linn, who knocked on his door, even if it was she who originally woke him up out of his cultivation.

-Konck!! Konck!! Konck!!

While standing among the grayish pebbles and looking at his silhouette in the mirror with a frown;

'What exactly is the problem? I feel like I forgot a crucial detail, but I can't know what exactly happened.' He then continued in his thoughts while exposing his aura, which was a mixture of golden color and some imprints of redness.

"!"

But the second after, a long sword aura formed on his right hand and directly attacked Linn, who had just teleported inside his room.

"What the hell exactly are you doing?!" He asked her while stopping his golden aura blade just a few centimeters from Linn's throat, which had an indifferent expression.

"Hm? Have you really reached the divine rank?" She asked with a frown when she saw the golden aura that emanated from Alvine.

"Sigh, for God's sake, stop entering my bedroom like that; if you injure yourself unconsciously, I hope you won't take me responsible," Alvine replied while retracting his aura blade.

"Huh? What audacity on your part to think that your attacks can make me bleed just because you have just reached the divine rank." She replied sarcastically after hearing Alvine's words.

"..." Alvine remained silent for a while after hearing Linn's words, but a thought emerged in his subconscious at that moment, making him smile mysteriously.

"In short, what do you want?" He decided to let off his curiosity for now and asked for the reason for Linn's visit.

"Did you know how dangerous it was to go out alone in my absence?"

"You don't have to worry about this insignificant detail; I didn't leave this room; since I was meditating day and night."

"Didn't you get out of here? Tsk, I'm surprised that you can lie so well. In short, if you want to lie, try to make your lie a little more credible, taking into account some important details." She slams her tongue with a ridiculous smile.

"Pfff~, I don't care if you believe me or not. But I'm still curious about two details. Why are you so convinced that I went outside? And why don't you keep saying I have reached the divine rank?" He asked her with a frown.

"Hm? Isn't that the case? Even if your mana is not completely golden, it is only a matter of time before you stabilize your divine realm. An important piece of information you need to know is never to let your magical energy decrease in this state. Because currently, your energy will represent your power and your divine domain in the future. And...do not fight; focus on your cultivation to stabilize your divine powers as much as possible. Because the more time you take to stabilize your divine powers, the weaker your powers, laws, and the divine domain will become!"

Instead of understanding the cause of Alvine's question (who was convinced he himself was always an emperor mage), She preferred to give him this advice before it was too late.

On the other hand, the more Alvine listened to him, the more confused he became. It was stupid of him to believe that Linn had misanalyzed his rank, which made him even more confused; since he had not yet suffered divine tribulations.

"Euh-Um... Miss Linn, is it possible to reach divine rank without triggering tribulations?" He asked with difficulty.

"Haha~, I've never heard anything so ridiculous. You asked me why I was sure that you came out of here in my absence. It's because we are on a meteorite that has no core."

"And what does it have to do with my question?"

"Sigh, you sometimes make me feel like I'm talking with a retard."

"...How long do you intend to ridicule me before answering my question?" Alvine asked calmly without feeling offended by Linn's sarcasm.

"I don't ridicule you; I'm talking about the facts. In short, to reach the divine rank, you must go through tribulations, and for this, you must be at least on a planet of rank two to trigger an acceptable divine tribulation. But we are on a meteorite that is considered a rank-four planet. Worse still, this meteorite is not alive for the simple reason that it has no core. Taking into account these details, not to mention reaching the divine rank...this meteorite offers the worst conditions to meditate." She reveals, looking at Alvine in the mirror opposite.

But seeing Alvine's ridiculous expression, she raised her eyebrows.

"Hm? Why are you so surprised? Don't tell me that you didn't even know this information?! Pfff, I now understand why your breakthrough is not extraordinary. I planned to take you to a planet of rank two, at least, to be in the best conditions before your breakthrough. All you had to do only was be patient. But you ruined everything by going to a planet of insignificant rank to start the weakest tribulations. Sigh, you're lucky that your aura is golden by about 80%." She gave these additional details.

After a long silence on the part of Alvine to understand how stupid he had been to the point of thinking that he could trigger tribulations on a place worse than a planet of rank four, he sighed with relief with a smile that went from ear to ear.

"Do you think it's funny?" Linn asked with a dark expression.

"Funny? Hahah~, Yes, I was so stupid that I couldn't help but find my actions funny. (Sigh, all this was due to the thoughts that worried me). But if you knew my current situation, I don't know what kind of expression you would have. But before that, reassure me about one thing, my beloved Linn, is it true that no one will be able to escape tribulations? No matter the quality of its aura?"

Even if Linn didn't understand where Alvine wanted to go, she still nodded with absent air. "Yes, in general, divine tribulations are usually triggered when the aura of an emperor mage shows traces of divine auras. If you want precise numbers, I would say that about 5~10% of golden auras are among its emperor aura. But the more traces of golden auras in the aura of an emperor mage, the stronger his divine power will be. But taking these details into account, when he faces divine tribulations, his divine tribulations will be proportionally dangerous compared to the percentage of golden auras he had accumulated."

Hearing Linn's explanations, Alvine's smile widens with traces of follies in his eyes.

'Very well~; I wonder what will happen when I trigger my divine tribulations with a 100% golden aura!' He murmured with a thin but erratic smile.
