Chapter 258: Recreation of Vahl’Zareth

[: 3rd POV :]

As Daniel looked across the countless races gathered inside the Grand Hall, he could see nothing but unwavering resolve burning within every pair of eyes.

Every race stood shoulder to shoulder without discrimination.

For the first time in history, they were no longer gathered because of alliances.

They were gathered because they had chosen to walk the same path.

Daniel slowly raised his right hand.

A profound silence immediately descended across the enormous hall.

Even the breathing of the crowd became quieter.

His golden eyes slowly swept across every individual before finally stopping at the rulers standing behind everyone else.

His mother smiled gently.

Mika and Erika looked at him with complete trust.

The fifteen rulers stood proudly with unwavering expressions.

Seeing everyone prepared...

Daniel smiled faintly.

"It seems...all of you have already made your decision."

Nobody spoke and hesitate, and the atmosphere itself felt sacred.

Daniel slowly closed his eyes before opening them once more.

The air surrounding him suddenly became incomparably heavier.

His voice echoed throughout every corner of the Grand Hall.

"Then..."

"As the Progenitor of Vahl’Zareth..."

"I welcome every single one of you."

His gaze became firm.

"And from this moment onward..."

"I declare each and every one of you..."

"...a member of Vahl’Zareth."

The instant those words left his mouth...

Daniel extended one finger before lightly slicing across its surface.

A single line of crimson blood slowly emerged.

*Drip*

The blood did not fall toward the ground.

Instead...every droplet floated into the air as though gravity itself had ceased to exist.

The blood began shining brilliantly.

Each droplet radiated an indescribable aura.

It no longer resembled ordinary blood.

Rather...it resembled the very origin of life.

The origin of supremacy and the origin of Vahl’Zareth itself.

One droplet...became two, then ten, anen became hundreds, and eventually hundreds became thousands.

Thousands of crimson droplets filled the atmosphere above the Grand Hall like a galaxy of scarlet stars.

Gasps echoed throughout the crowd.

"So...beautiful..."

"What incredible pressure..."

"I can feel my blood trembling..."

"Is...is this really His Majesty’s blood...?"

Even the fifteen rulers widened their eyes slightly.

Dragon Empress Sylthara unconsciously took one step backward.

"I can actually feel my Dragon Bloodline submitting..."

Demon King Xereth laughed in disbelief.

"Hahaha...unbelievable..."

"It feels as though my entire existence is acknowledging his existence"

Even Mika looked at Daniel with astonishment.

"So this is..."

"...the blood of the Progenitor..."

Daniel slowly lowered his hand.

The countless droplets instantly shot forward.

*Whoosh*

Each person received exactly one crimson drop.

The blood gently landed upon everyone’s forehead.

For a brief moment...nothing happened, but then...

"Ack...!"

"Aaagh!!"

"My body!"

"It hurts!"

"What’s happening?!"

Thousands of screams echoed simultaneously.

Every member collapsed onto one knee.

Some fell completely onto the ground.

Others clutched their chests.

Some desperately grabbed their heads.

Veins expanded throughout their bodies.

Bones continuously cracked before immediately reforming.

Their muscles repeatedly shattered and regenerated.

Every organ inside them was reconstructed.

Every strand of mana was rewritten.

Every fragment of blood inside their bodies was evolving.

This was not merely an enhancement.

It was complete rebirth.

Their previous races...

Their previous bloodlines...

Their previous talents...

Every foundation they had built throughout their lives was being dismantled.

Destroyed.

Then recreated.

Not by replacing them...

But by fusing everything together with the Origin Blood of Vahl’Zareth.

An entirely new power system was being born.

One that belonged solely to Vahl’Zareth.

The transformation showed no signs of ending.

The screams never stopped.

Some had already stopped screaming, falling into deep unconsciousness while their bodies continued evolving on their own.

The atmosphere surrounding the Grand Hall became increasingly unstable as silver light burst endlessly from inside.

Even the sky above Terria turned golden as Mana across the entire planet surged violently.

Creatures throughout the world instinctively knelt.

Even the World Tree continuously released countless leaves as though celebrating.

And eventually, everyone’s life aura expanded explosively.

Their previous limits had disappeared completely with the air itself became heavier.

Reality occasionally distorted around certain individuals.

Some unknowingly released terrifying auras while unconscious.

But at some point, the screams finally disappeared.

Instead...a peaceful silence filled the Grand Hall.

Daniel slowly opened his eyes.

"They’re finally finished..."

One after another...everyone slowly awakened.

"..."

Nobody spoke, not because they were unwilling.

But because none of them could properly understand what had happened.

A young knight slowly clenched his fist.

*Crack*

Space around his hand distorted slightly.

"I..."

"I became this strong...?"

A mage slowly raised one finger.

Without chanting and without concentrating...

Thousands of mana particles naturally gathered around her.

"T-This amount of mana..."

An elderly dwarf stared blankly at his own hands.

"My body..."

"It feels younger..."

"My injuries..."

"They’re all gone..."

Dragon Empress Sylthara slowly spread her wings.

The dragon scales covering them had transformed into beautiful silver scales engraved with crimson runes.

"My Dragon...has evolved...no...it had been rewritten..."

Spirit Empress Sylvene widened her eyes.

"The spirits...they’re no longer following me...they’ve become part of me..."

Demon King Xereth burst into loud laughter.

"Hahahaha!"

"This is wonderful!"

"I feel like I could crush my previous self with one finger!"

Meanwhile...

Melira slowly opened her eyes.

Her silver white hair gently flowed behind her.

Her once gentle violer eyes had transformed into beautiful golden pupils containing countless faint stars.

She instinctively touched her own chest.

"My heartbeat..."

"It feels..."

"...different."

She could feel it.

Every heartbeat carried an indescribable authority.

It was calm, silent, yet overwhelming.

Whatever abilities she once possessed had disappeared.

No.

They had not disappeared.

They had fused together.

Merged with the Origin Blood of Vahl’Zareth.

Creating something entirely unique.

A power that belonged only to her.

Something that not even Daniel possessed.

Slowly...a translucent screen appeared before her.

[: Status :]

- Name: Melira Valenhardt Vahl’Zareth

- Age: 27

- Rank: Divine Tier One

- Genesis Manifestation: Nexus of End

HP: 1,000

PMP: 1,000

Worldmight: 10

Primordial Mana: 100

Melira blinked several times.

"...Genesis Manifestation?"

Daniel smiled.

"It seems every member of Vahl’Zareth awakens their own unique Genesis Manifestation."

"It is the result of your previous powers fusing with the Blood of Vahl’Zareth."

"It belongs only to you."

Melira slowly looked toward the description.

[: Genesis Manifestation: Nexus of End :]

- A Genesis Manifestation born from the Origin Blood of the Progenitor and Melira’s own existence.

- The Nexus of End is not the authority of destruction.

- It is the embodiment of every ending.

Whether it is life, death, curses, suffering, calamity, war, despair, hatred, immortality, fate, concepts, or even endless cycles...

Everything possesses an ending. The Nexus of End governs that final point. Nothing is truly eternal before its authority.

- Passive Ability: Nexus Protection

All authorities up until embodiment shall no longer be affected. As long as Nexus Protection exists, no damage shall affect Melira. Able to resist authorities and laws up until embodiment and would not be restricted by it. Limits no longer shall defined and works against Nexus Protection.

- Passive Ability: Incarnation of Nexus

Stats will multiply by 100K times and Regeneration will recover 10% each second. Upon killing enemies, recover 50% of Health and PMP.

- Passive Ability: Gentle Conclusion

Anything acknowledged by Melira gradually reaches its destined conclusion and the stronger Melira becomes, the greater the scale affected by this passive authority.

- Passive Ability: Beginning of an End

Every declaration of an end created by Melira shall none denial. Upon being declared, there’s no resistance to it and if being affected by the consequence, it shall be avoided as no ending brought by Melira is meaningless.

- Active Ability: Nexus Manipulation

An ultimate manipulation where it embodies the embodiment of an end where anything that Melira desires or attacks shall be consumed and overwritten as End

- Active Ability: Absolute Finality

Melira may designate a single target, phenomenon, or concept and declare its conclusion.The chosen target immediately begins approaching its absolute end. Even phenomena without physical form may be concluded if they remain within Melira’s authority.

- Active Ability: Sanctuary of Last Nexus

A domain expands around Melira. All allies inside the sanctuary become protected from forced death. No matter how grievous their injuries become, they will remain standing until the sanctuary disappears.

Enemies, meanwhile, experience the opposite. Every wound they receive becomes impossible to restore until the battle concludes.

- Ultimate Embodiment: The Final Nexus

Melira becomes the embodiment of every peaceful ending. Any ally she willingly embraces becomes absolutely protected from annihilation. Their soul, existence, destiny, and origin cannot be erased while her embodiment remains active. Should an ally inevitably perish, Melira may instead conclude death itself once, allowing that individual to return at the peak of their condition. This embodiment may only be invoked upon those whom Melira truly accepts as family.

Even Daniel looked genuinely surprised.

"...Mom..."

Melira slowly lowered the screen before looking at Daniel with moist eyes.

"So..."

"I’ve finally become someone..."

"...who can protect you too."

Daniel smiled warmly.

"You always have."

For the first time since becoming the Progenitor of Vahl’Zareth...

Daniel truly understood something.

Every member of Vahl’Zareth would never simply inherit his power.

Instead...each of them would awaken a unique Genesis Manifestation that reflected their own existence, making every member of Vahl’Zareth an irreplaceable pillar of the faction rather than a mere copy of its Progenitor.
