Ten Lucky Draws: I Became OP

Chapter 226: The Grand Cosmic Convergence

Ash had no plans to announce his arrival, merely smirking at Aurelia when she glanced his way.

“Hm, so you’re connected to those old bastards after a—” she began, but her words were cut short as Ash grabbed her hand and instantly teleported them into Archie and Layla’s private realm.

He had intended to visit Elara first, but upon extending his Mana Sense, he sensed the three of them gathered there, waiting with clear impatience.

When they reappeared, Aurelia quickly pulled her hand back, narrowing her eyes before breaking into a playful giggle.

“Hehe, are you sure you want to play the teasing game?”

Ash didn’t answer—just gave her a wink, right before someone collided with him.

BANG!

“ASH!” It was, of course, Elara.

She looked just as she had five years ago, her long silver hair seeming even longer in his presence. Her curvy figure was one Ash adored, and he pulled her into a tight hug, gently caressing her.

“I… missed you,” she murmured into his chest.

“Haha, I missed you too, love~” Ash replied with a smile, sealing his words with a kiss.

’I will bond with her next…’

Back then, he hadn’t bonded with her—not because he didn’t want to, but because of the complications it could cause. His life was too full, too chaotic, and he was far too weak. Now, though, he couldn’t care less about any problems that might come.

“The Scion of Seraphiel?” Archie asked, glancing at Aurelia, who was still watching Ash.

“What a surprise… are you joining too?” Layla added, stepping up beside Archie, looking as stunning as ever.

Aurelia’s eyes shifted toward the two monsters.

“Of course. I can’t let the other scions outshine me,” she replied with a playful smile before adding,

“So, when are you old-timers hosting the next Multiversal Auction? It’s been ages.”

Ash was caught off guard.

He knew they were Cosmic Overlords in disguise, but he’d figured they were just withdrawn from worldly affairs, dabbling in this only out of boredom.

“Well,” Archie said with a smile toward Ash, “we’ll talk about that after the event… because we’re already running late.”

“The trip alone will take at least five years, and the main event is just over four years away.”

Ash’s face tightened; he’d completely forgotten about the travel time. When Layla mentioned it before, he thought that was already included.

“Hehe, don’t worry,” Aurelia chimed in, catching his reaction. “Four years is just for the fighting portion. The whole thing usually lasts half a decade, with plenty of activities.”

Hearing this, Ash felt a bit better, though honestly… if he’d known, he would have shown up much later. Still, there was no way he planned to spend five years on the road.

So, he activated a new function of Elysia.

|Map of Existence|

In an instant, a massive illusory map unfolded above him.

The others stared in confusion as he gazed upward. Through Ash’s eyes, every universe within the lower dimension came into view, and the deeper he searched, the fewer things could escape his sight.

He could either look for something specific or wander endlessly. With a thought, he filtered for the Grand Cosmic Convergence, and in an instant, every universe vanished until only one remained.

Smiling, he clicked on it, and a portal opened to the exact location he sought—the Grand Cosmic Convergence.

“Alright, no need for all that traveling. Let’s just enjoy our time here… hopefully I’ll find some fun along the way,” he said, taking Elara’s and Aurelia’s hands again.

With a playful wink at Archie and Layla, he stepped into the portal.

“Are you sure about letting him join in?” Archie asked, a wary feeling about Ash creeping in.

“Well, we’ll see soon enough,” Layla replied with a small smile as they followed him through.

The Grand Cosmic Convergence wasn’t just one world or galaxy—it was an entire universe turned into a vibrant, living festival of power and possibility.

Vast cosmic roads swept visitors along through glittering nebulae that acted as majestic entryways, where auroras of law and pure concept swirled and shimmered like celebratory banners in the sky.

Thousands of galaxies swirled in harmonious orbits, each a unique realm of experience.

One was an endless arena of illusory battles where prodigies tested ideas without danger, another a marketplace of forbidden artifacts drifting in zero-gravity bazaars, and yet another a garden of evolving worlds where races gathered in diplomatic celebration beneath artificial stars that sang ancient hymns.

Worlds drifted by each a vision of wonders… like one resembling a massive forge where blacksmiths from all around challenged each other. It was a lot to take in, as this place was home to some of the strongest beings the Lower Dimension had to offer.

From the Eternal Clans to the Arch Eternal Clans, and even some Progenitors with their clans were present.

This wasn’t a place for anyone lacking talent or power to step into.

It was a place where the most gifted could grow even stronger, while seizing the chance to make their names known across countless universes.

At the farthest edge of the universe lay the final platform—a massive disk of indestructible primordial stone, larger than galaxies, hanging in the absolute void and encircled by viewing realms where trillions could watch undisturbed.

This was the ultimate stage, where prodigies from countless universes came together not just for glory, but to pave the way toward even greater power.

The air thrummed with anticipation—laws bending in greeting, energies mingling in harmonious chaos—as factions, races, and champions assembled for the grandest event the Lower Dimension had ever witnessed.
