My Dad's power increase isn't that much, but the change in my Mom is quite noticeable.
Her skin has rejuvenated, making her look more beautiful and now more energetic.
And thanks to Body Purification, her physical strength has developed quite nicely.
If she hadn't done Body Purification, her Physical Stats would have been between 2,000 and 5,000.
But right now, her Power and Agility are at 17K while her Vitality is at 27K.
And because of this, even if my Mom isn't advanced in Physical Combat, she will be at a sufficient level.
...
"Mom, Dad, I will find Syr and give her a key, then I will bring her here."
"Okay, son, we will be waiting for you here."
...
*After appearing in our home*, I started walking towards the orphanage, and within 10 minutes, I arrived there.
*Knock knock knock*
When the mother of the orphanage heard the door being knocked, she immediately came. "Kael, is that you? Why did you come here? Is it for Syr?" asked Olivia.
"Hello, Ms. Olivia, I am indeed here for Syr; I have a gift for her," I said, looking at Ms. Olivia.
Olivia replied, "Wait here a bit; I will bring Syr right away."
"Please," I said, and waited.
...
About a minute later, Olivia and Syr appeared.
As soon as Syr stepped out the door, she jumped into my arms.
"Kael, I haven't seen you for 5 days; I'm so glad we can finally meet," she said excitedly.
"I have a gift for you, Syr, but first, let's go to Fate Lake," I said.
"Okay, Kael, see you later, Olivia; I will be back in a few hours!" Syr said.
Olivia replied, "Of course, dear, you go have fun; I will wait for you, Syr."
...
After leaving the town, I picked Syr up and started running towards Fate Lake.
And we arrived in 3 minutes; after all, my top speed is about 100 km/h.
Of course, I only ran at 60 km/h.
...
I gently set Syr down on the bank and sat her down, then I moved in front of her, and a key glowing with golden light appeared in my hand.
"Syr, this is my gift to you. Recently, I created a dimension that is solely mine, and if I place this key in your heart, you can enter that dimension whenever you want, and with my permission, you can control that dimension like a Goddess." I said and waited for Syr's reaction.
After all, even though I knew how much she would accept, I had to touch her body, so I waited.
"This would be AMAZING, Kael! Of course, I want it; now I can meet you whenever I want." she said, and an excited expression formed on her face.
I pressed the key I held against her chest and then integrated it with her heart in a way that only I could decipher.
"..How do you feel, Syr?" I asked her.
"Hmm.. I don't know, it feels like there's no difference? Can I really enter another dimension right now?"
"Just wish for it, and then you will enter." I said.
...
After 5 seconds, Syr managed to be pulled into the dimension, and then I entered my dimension as well.
*Opening eyes
When Syr opened her eyes, she couldn't believe what she saw; she was truly – really in a completely different place!
Then Kael created a soil platform beneath both of them and made the platform float.
"Kyah." Syr flinched slightly when she suddenly started to rise and immediately hugged Kael.
"..Open your eyes, Syr," Kael said in a beautiful tone right next to her ear, "I'm sure you'll want to see this~."
With Kael's suggestion, Syr opened her eyes and couldn't believe it; she couldn't believe how such a beautiful environment could exist.
With her eyes slightly opened in Kael's embrace, she looked around.
It was such a beautiful and comfortable environment that for a moment she thought, "Could there be such a beautiful place between planets, even Universes.. with my Kael, everything is truly possible~."
And she began to look at Kael.
"Ahh.." she let out a sound while looking at Kael, seeing those facial features, those eyes, and that face that was smiling gently at her.
She couldn't believe it; did she really deserve this?
Did she really deserve this man? Did she deserve these beauties, these values?
..But those weren't the important things.
What mattered was Kael and herself; when she looked at Kael, she felt her heart racing and her body's warmth increasing.
She thought, "..This, this – is a perfect moment for this," and she couldn't stop herself.
Even though she was only 9 years old, she was more mature than girls aged 16-17; she understood love and emotions quite well.
But what was important was that she could understand herself beautifully.
Syr was a smart girl, and she would always be that way.
...
Syr took a deep breath.
The surroundings were silent, only the faint scent of earth carried by the wind and echoes coming from afar could be heard.
She couldn't take her eyes off Kael; in those gazes, there was peace, strength, and a somehow familiar warmth.
For a moment, everything slowed down.
The rhythm of her heart was so pronounced that even time couldn't bear to disturb this silence that fell between them.
Syr stepped beyond Kael.
As the wind swept his jet-black hair like space across the earthen platform, he pushed a few strands away from his face with the back of his hand.
He lifted his eyes and responded to Kael's smile—slowly, sincerely, as if he were finally expressing a feeling he had hidden for years.
He might have said something, but the words were lost in the wind.
The distance between them shrank, their breaths mingling.
Syr let himself be guided by his heart.
He gently rose onto his toes, closed his eyes...
And in that moment, the world stopped.
The hum of the wind fell silent, the sky held its breath.
Only an infinite moment remained, where two souls merged—a symbol of a warm, quiet, perfect bond.
Kael placed his hand on Syr's waist to keep him from falling; but in that moment, they were already soaring in the sky—neither the platform, nor gravity, nor dimensions, nor infinities of Realities...
Only the existence of that moment remained.
Normally, Kael would not have accepted this situation; he would have stopped Syr, but he knew this moment—this was the moment that would never be forgotten between them.
Syr silently accepted—he held Syr's beautiful, delicate waist, as lovely as jade, and responded in kind.
While kissing, he thought, "This was the best kiss I have ever had in my two lives"—he could feel it, he could understand—the emotions, desires, and longings behind this kiss.
He felt something valuable, something that made his heart race, but on the other hand, he couldn't understand—a slight regret?
Why should I feel regret? Seconds had passed since he began to accept Syr, and it was still ongoing, yet a small piece of regret or guilt continued to linger.
The right kind of regret—and he finally understood why: Syr was only 9 years old... and he was an adult at 20 in his previous life.
Even though he had changed due to being reborn as a child, he was still the same person, neither someone else nor a different person—he was that 20-year-old man.
But, no matter what, he vowed to seal this moment into Eternity—this was a physical manifestation of the Feelings, emotions, desires, and words between them.
"I love him." Yes, Kael loved Syr, and that was the most important thing—neither age nor differing existences mattered.
They were not others, nor was he—They were *Syr and Kael*, two lovers, and the age difference between them was not what mattered; what mattered were the desires, what mattered were the feelings.
WHAT MATTERED WAS THEM!
THEIR DESIRES, THEIR FEELINGS, THEIR WISHES.
That is why I will embrace this moment towards Eternity, that is why I will not regret, that is why I will accept Syr, THAT IS WHY I WILL LOVE SYR.
For my love for Syr, the age difference or physical differences do not matter.
He made me feel warm emotions, taught me the value of being loved, taught me how to love.
...My love for Syr is a love that cannot end even among the Infinite Primitive Realities, and nothing can change that!
Syr is my precious one, my love, my life partner, and my Eternity.

...
At the end of my close encounter with Syr, which lasted about 30 seconds but felt like an eternity, I receive a system notification.
.. Superior Infinity? And if it really existed, couldn't the system only see up to the ^Mysterious^ Tier?
Syr must have noticed the expression on my face because she asked me, "..Kael, are you okay .. or did I cause this?" with a sad and worried tone.
"Is the rapid progression of our relationship bothering Kael?" thought this innocent soul.
I explained, "NO, no, it's not because of you, it's just that.. just at the end of our kiss, I received a system notification indicating that a new ability of mine has been unlocked.
The ability is called 『Infinity and Love』 and the tier of this Ability is... at a tier called Superior Infinity."
Syr was stunned; after all, thanks to kissing her, I had gained an Ability named 『Infinity and Love』.
But on the other hand, she was worried – Superior Infinity? "Superior Infinity? But you said there was only a tier up to Infinity." she said to me.
I replied, "Yes, *This* Nihility reality has a tier limit of ^Infinity^ or ^Infinity^, but in front of Nihility, there is the Void or, by another name, Primitive Realities, where the Nihility reality exists infinitely.
In some Nihility realities, some powerful forces can only reach the ^Silver^ Tier, while others can possess ^Diamond^ Tier power even at birth.
So our power system is only universally valid throughout *our* Nihility Reality.
In some Nihility Realities, the power ranking can go in a way like ^F,E,D,C,B,A,S,SS,SSS,Z,ZZ,ZZZ,X,XX,XXX,XYZ,Ruler of Chaos^, while in others it can go as ^1st Stage Being, 2nd Stage Being ... 99th Stage Being^.
Or there could even be a Nihility where everyone has a System; generally, in such power systems, they grow stronger by killing enemies and reaching a certain experience, and these are usually limited to Level 100 or can continue infinitely."
I explained to Syr.
Syr was stunned. Reality?, Nihility? The Void or Primitive Reality?
"..This – This is so vast, Kael, so you mean our reality or our existence could be like ants somewhere in infinity, and our end is just a click away from their attention..."
"That's right, Syr, that's why I will continue to grow stronger infinitely, and no matter what, I will protect my loved ones."
...
"And Syr, I told you I had unlocked a new Ability..."
"I'm listening, Kael?"
"I need to tell you the description of this Ability.
I, Kael, as the Master of the Chaos Reality, refuse!
I refuse to be separated from myself and those who belong to me!
As long as I exist, my love will exist too.
As long as my love exists, I will exist!
Not even death can separate us; if I am dead, I will defy death!"
"Hmm how beautiful, so this means we will be together forever!"
"But there are some abilities tied to this, one of which is 『Immortal Bond』, and its description is as follows.
You, who understand the value of love – can never be separated from your loved ones; no matter what, you will reunite.
>The women bound to you can feel you no matter what, and as long as they wish, you can feel them too.
Bound Individuals:
>Syr
>???
...
>???"
"So no matter where you are, I can feel you! What a magnificent ability." Syr said excitedly.
"Syr.. there are 13 other people written with question marks besides you..."
When Syr heard this, she was stunned for a moment but then looked at me with a slight smile.
And she said, "Haa.. I knew that I would have love rivals in the future, but I never imagined I would have a love rival from the past, but there's nothing I can do, Kael; I have no right to try to separate them from you.
After all, who knows how many years they have been waiting for you; as long as *My Sisters* accept me, that's enough~"
I was really surprised; I didn't expect Syr to accept this situation so quickly.
"Well, it's time, system. I have a question for you... are you my wife?" I asked suddenly.
Syr was taken aback; after all, I had told her that this system was an Artificial Intelligence, and then I had explained what artificial intelligence was.
Now, seeing that I was asking an Artificial Intelligence, "Are you my wife?" she was a bit surprised.
[... It's been a long time, Kael – And yes, you're right, I am one of your women, and my name is Catherine Limitless.]
"What—" Kael was genuinely surprised; even if he had asked this, he wasn't 100% sure while asking the question.
"So, I really was the master of this Chaos Reality... and I died, then I was reborn."
[Yes, you're right, darling. A few trillion years ago, the ^Supreme Chaos Alliance^ – 18,688 Chaos Reality held us hostage because of your sudden power increase, along with your family and our families.
As for how they learned, every trillion years, you easily won a tournament in this Nihility, which is held for geniuses under 50 years old, in a superior Chaos Reality, and it turned out that the 3rd Stage of Cultivation was Celestial—
Anyway, you'll understand this later with your memories. Let's get to the main event: while we, along with your family and our families, were held hostage, they wanted to learn how you gained power so quickly. Was it perhaps a better ^Infinite^ Stage cultivation technique than the normal ones?
But the answer was no; no matter how strong you were, that was just your potential, and even if you proved that you had no technique, the ^Supreme Chaos Alliance^ didn't like this situation, but they knew they couldn't easily kill you since you were in the 3rd stage of Celestial, and back then, you could easily destroy 1 or 2 Chaos Realities.
They tried to use us; they told you to talk to us with your ability, 『Infinity and Love』, and not to care about us, but still, you chose to burn yourself temporarily to reach the 6th Stage of Celestial.
Normally, with this power, you could have easily taken us and escaped, but the technique you used was irreversible; instead, you saved us and sent us to a desolate Chaos plane, then you transferred all your memories and skills to us.
...And you—left. That month, you destroyed the 9,872nd Chaos Reality of the ^Supreme Chaos Alliance^.
Of course, you didn't completely destroy it; no matter how close you were to the end of your life, you were too pure to ever kill the innocent.
And at the end of that month, you perished along with your soul, and the 『Immortal Bond』 became completely invalid.
But the 『Immortal Love』 will be effective no matter what, because the reason your ability is ^Supreme Infinity^ Stage is this skill.
Since your soul was completely shattered, the rebirth period extended from a few million to a few trillion.
...After that, we, those who wanted to be with you, fell into a long sleep, becoming at least 1st Stage Gods with what you gave us.
The reason for this wasn't that we didn't want to die, but gods can only live for a maximum of about 1 trillion years, depending on skills and abilities.
However, thanks to one of your abilities, our lifespan was extended to 1 million times longer than our current lifespan, which means it could last between 5 billion years and 5 sextillion years, but still, there was no point in getting stronger without seeing you, so we used one of your skills to reduce the rate of lifespan increase by 1 million times and fell asleep.
And I must tell you that what I just explained is *only* from your previous life.
In this life, you were with a total of 4 people, including me; their names were my biological sister *Rosalyne Limitless*, then *Anna Hunter*, and *Elizabeth Quenn*, and to meet the other 9 sisters, you needed to reach at least the ^Infinite^ Stage.]
But I won't tell their story or their names; it's not my place to do so, and I don't know their story.
And my other 9 sisters, as you might guess, are at the ^Infinite^ Level, but that's their limit. According to what they said, thanks to you, they all became ^Infinite^, and like them, low-level beings can only be ^Infinity^ at most.]
That's what the system or Catherine explained to me.
"..I –I apologize, Catherine. No matter how much I can't remember, no matter how much I can't recall what happened, this sadness in my heart tells me that it's all true.
Please apologize to the others for me as well.. and –and don't forget that I will become Infinite and remember everything, and then I will return to you!" I said.
Catherine smiled and said to me, reaching into my mind.
[You still remember me as I remember you –My dear~~]
...
After talking about this with Catherine, I told Syr everything that was said.
Then she said to me, "If.. if we somehow end up in the same situation, please don't care about me, run away, Kael, they –they are waiting for you for trillions of years. If my presence delays your meeting with them even more.. I would only feel guilty."
..I got angry; I was really angry when I heard this. "..Syr, do you think there could be anyone in this universe who can defeat me? And more importantly, how can you tell me to leave the woman I love in such a difficult situation?" I said in a serious tone.
And I continued, "Don't worry, I will never die while protecting you; after all, I know that my death would be unbearable for you."
Syr just stayed silent there.
[Ding... As usual, you are very good at flirting.]
...
My face darkened.. –whatever.
"Syr, we need to meet my family now; let's go." I said to Syr.
...
