Arius sat attentively as the system began explaining the details of the tests the first test started with a direct question
System What is the difference between a regular Raizo and a Sovereign Raizo
Arius answered spontaneously Power
The system replied Incorrect the difference is efficiency
The system explained Sovereign Raizo provides a much broader and more efficient experience than regular Raizo regular Raizo is limited to random energy while Sovereign Raizo has two main types Construction and Destruction
During the explanation Arius began to realize something important the reason he could not feel Arlins energy during the fight was because of the nature of Sovereign Raizo which no one except Sovereigns can sense
The system continued Sovereign Raizo grants you several advantages
One No one except Sovereigns can sense the users energy
Two Much greater multipliers than regular Raizo depending on the type
Three It is not limited to a specific type there is Construction Destruction and many other types
Four Better control and less effort when used
And many other things its user can do that a regular Raizo user cannot
Then the system asked Arius Are you ready to learn this Raizo
Arius replied What if I learned both types together Construction and Destruction
The system answered That is possible but only a few creatures are capable of it if it happens the user will be able to do things other Sovereign Raizo users cannot such as destroying or building great concepts like time and space
But for now our goal is just to learn this Raizo and we will discover later what we will do after mastering the skill
Arius sat excitedly realizing that this stage represented the beginning of a new power like never before and that everything before him was now open for learning and discovery
Arius sat listening attentively then said I am ready but how do I do it
The system answered in a calm and confident voice You will build this Raizo yourself because unlike regular Raizo which exists innately in every human this Raizo is produced by being built by the user no mortal can use or build Sovereign Raizo no matter what they do
Arius was surprised Then how can I do it
The system replied It is complicated for you now but all that matters to you is building energy and efficiency
Arius sat and closed his eyes while the system began explaining the method to him step by step
Imagine a point of energy let it expand infinitely then imagine networks and lines distributed around this point each network has a specific function such as increasing energy aura color controlling efficiency and others it requires focus calmness and time
Arius began deep meditation and closed his eyes completely sensing his internal energy and the first points of Raizo began to form in his mind as days weeks and sometimes months passed he began building a complex series of this Raizo inside his mind and energy glowed around his body
Throughout all that period Arius reached the highest stages of focus and mental calmness using all his previous experience in energy control until it seemed as if every part of his body and mind were fused into one integrated process of building Sovereign Raizo
This was the actual beginning of his transformation to a new level of power and control never seen before
After months of intense training Arius was finally able to build an intertwined and complex chain of energy and succeeded in activating Sovereign Raizo after all that massive mental effort he exerted
The system told him proudly You have now obtained the Level A Energy Building skill
Arius felt a massive flood of energy shaking his entire body and a sense of power and control overwhelmed him but he learned from the system that it was not over yet as the latter said to him Now you must train physically with this energy activation alone is not enough you must master its use completely
Arius immediately began training his body rigorously spending several more months in the same room practicing every movement of strength endurance and energy control mastering every detail in it
When he finally emerged from the room his features showed signs of seriousness optimism and satisfaction with the new level of power and control he had reached
He entered his house and found Lina and his mother sitting inside he smiled and said I am sorry for being late
But the surprise was that neither of them seemed worried they knew him well and Arius felt reassured then that everything was fine during his absence from home which increased his sense of peace and relief
Arius sat on the bed in his room lying down and immersed in thoughts about the achievement he had recently made but he soon felt a strange and strong presence he had never felt before his curiosity pushed him to leave the room and as soon as he went out he was surprised to see Wang sitting in the garden with Lina eating food
Arius stepped forward to greet him and greeted him politely then Wang noticed something different in him and said in a calm but confident voice
Lord Arius I see that you are more radiant today
Arius smiled thinking that Wang was praising or thanking him so he replied
Thank you perhaps because it is after a steam bath for a while
But Wang smiled a little and said
I did not mean that what I feel is something else I feel a Sovereign presence from you
Arius stopped talking and a sense of astonishment overcame him wondering within himself how Wang could feel this then he confirmed in his heart that Wang was not an ordinary person at all
Arius asked in a cautious voice
What do you mean
Wang answered confidently
I feel that you are using something that does not befit mortals is my speech not correct
Arius swallowed his saliva and answered in a low voice
Like what
Wang said calmly and confidently
Like Sovereign energy for example
Arius confirmed then that Wang was indeed not an ordinary person and that his abilities far exceeded the normal limit
Wang smiled and said
Do not worry I am impressed by what you have done truly but tell me how were you able to do that
Arius stood for a moment contemplating his new abilities and successes and knew that he was before a new opportunity to reveal his abilities to someone who understands the true power of mortals
Suddenly the system screen appeared before Arius alerting him strictly Disclosing anything related to the system or its energies to anyone is prohibited
Arius smiled to himself then looked at Wang and said
In fact I learned this by chance and I did not know how I did it exactly but you are very smart and you can understand people quickly
Wang smiled and said
I see you indeed built the Sovereign Raizo is my speech not correct
Arius answered confidently
Yes correct
Wang continued
Then you were able to do something that takes Sovereigns millions of years to achieve and you did it in a short period only well Lord Arius I am here today to offer you a request from Lady Arlin herself
Arius wondered cautiously
And what is this request
Wang answered
She wants you to go to her planet to train there but I was surprised seeing that you have already built Sovereign Raizo nevertheless what do you think of this offer
Arius thought for a moment then looked at his sister Lina who was encouraging him with a smile full of pride she knew well his passion for development and power
Arius smiled confidently and said
Fine I agree to this offer immediately
With that a new journey of training and development began under the supervision of Lady Arlin and Wang towards horizons of power no one had reached before
After Arius bid farewell to his mother and sister and made sure that everything was under the protection of his companions Condy and Rubina he set off with Wang across space heading towards the planet of Arlin
During the journey Arius asked with a semi sarcastic smile
Why does Arlin want me specifically
Wang answered calmly
In fact she is looking for the strongest fighters of her world to ensure the safety of her world from any potential danger she builds these fighters and prepares them to be protectors of her world during her absence
Arius stopped for a moment then said in wonder
But why me even though I lost to her immediately
Wang smiled and said
In fact she was impressed by you by your insistence on achieving victory despite the clarity of the result at that time and for your information your friend Raymos has been with us since that day training every day and he is now very strong
Arius got a little angry while laughing
That rascal ran away behind me to become stronger
Wang looked at him and said with a slight smile
And I see that you also have become a little stronger since the last time
Arius laughed and said
Haha in fact I was not satisfied with just building a new power but development itself is the essence of my identity I do not like to possess power without developing it
Then Wang looked forward and said
Get ready we have only 20 minutes left to reach Lady Arlins planet
Arius spent the few remaining moments focusing contemplating the size of the coming challenge his eyes shining with seriousness and enthusiasm for what awaited him
After a short time Arius and Wang arrived at Arlins planet and from the first moment Arius was dazzled by its magnitude and beauty as he said to himself in a low voice
What an amazing planet I have never seen anything like this in my life
Wang smiled and said
It is one of the most prosperous planets in all the universes belonging to our world equipped with everything for Lady Arlins comfort
Arius continued looking around in amazement until they reached Arlins flying palace in the sky and Wang said calmly
Here we have arrived
While they were approaching the palace Arius glimpsed someone training from afar they got closer and Arius noticed that the person was Raymos training alone in a wide arena
Arius called him
Raymos
Raymos raised his head and looked at him coldly saying
What brought this fool here
Wang and Arius stepped towards him and Wang said
Lord Raymos Lady Arlin requested him to bring Arius from Earth to train with you
Despite his reservations Raymos was forced to be convinced by the idea and began to accept the matter despite his lack of desire at first
Arius looked at Raymos in amazement and said
Amazing you traitor you have developed significantly without my knowledge
Raymos replied with a slightly defiant smile
I do not need your permission to increase my strength and I see that you also have increased in strength but this is nothing before me
Arius laughed and said with all challenge
Yes I am now weaker than you so be happy with that
That moment was the beginning of a new stage full of intense training and challenges between the two on Arlins planet
After that Raymos took Arius on a tour to get to know the place while Wang went to Lady Arlin to inform her of Arius arrival
During their walk Arius asked Raymos about the nature of his training in the past period so Raymos answered
I used to wake up every day early and Wang was training me strictly on using something called Sovereign Raizo and I have finally managed to open and use it
Arius laughed and said sarcastically
Oh you mean Sovereign Raizo I opened it easily and without much effort
Raymos was shocked and said angrily
Liar
Arius answered calmly
And have I lied to you before
Raymos exploded in anger
Nonsense how could someone like you learn something like this without a teacher from the Sovereigns
Arius answered him smiling
It is easy and not that difficult but tell me what is the story of this Wang I feel something strange towards him
Raymos answered with a slight smile
It is natural for you to feel that for he is essentially the teacher of Lady Arlin and he is the one who granted her that massive power
Arius understood then the true magnitude of Wang and realized that he had been underestimating him all the time without realizing his true strength and size
After some time passed Lady Arlin arrived accompanied by Wang so Arius and Raymos turned towards them Raymos immediately bowed in respect to her and tried to ask Arius to bow too but he refused
Arlin stepped towards them and said with a friendly smile
Welcome O Godfather of Equality Arius welcome to my planet
Arius greeted her and said while smiling
I am truly happy to be accepted for training on your planet
Arlin smiled and said
Not only is this what I wanted to happen but I also want to challenge you now
Arius and Raymos were shocked by this sudden request and Arius said in astonishment
Lady Arlin did I not lose before you previously what is the point of doing this now
Arlin answered him with confidence and calmness
I want that and also Wang explained to me what you did and I am very impressed by a mortal being able to master Sovereign Raizo on his own without the supervision of Sovereigns to teach you so I would like to test your new strength
Arius sighed a little then said
Fine I will accept your request but I must admit that I have not mastered my power completely yet nevertheless I will exert all my effort to satisfy you as much as possible
After Arlin closed her eyes for a moment she raised her hand and pointed to Wang saying in a decisive tone
Not here this place will not endure the fight Wang do it
Wang nodded calmly then raised his hand slightly and suddenly everything around them disappeared in a flash of light to find Arius standing in a place that looks exactly identical to the real world he opened his eyes surprised and said
What did we not move
Wang smiled while standing behind him and said
We have moved to a special dimension an identical copy of our real world but without any beings just places without life
Arius looked around stunned touching the ground and confirming the complete similarity then murmured
An amazing ability this is madness
Arlin stepped forward with steady steps and said with a smile full of confidence
Come on then boy let us start the fight now
The two stood in a ready position while Wang and Raymos sat on a high rock to watch the fight Raymos said while laughing sarcastically
Heh Arius will lose quickly as usual
But Wang smiled and said calmly
Do not judge before the fight starts
Arius rushed towards Arlin with massive speed but the scene repeated as before Arlin avoids his attacks with amazing ease she barely even moved then she said in a calm voice dripping with sarcasm
Are you mocking me is this all your strength
Arius stopped suddenly catching his breath then said with low confidence
I have not started yet I was only protecting myself
A small smile formed on Arlins face then she said in a strict tone
Then stop joking show me your Sovereign Raizo
Arius lowered his head a little then said with a sharp calmness
Fine I will show you
He closed his eyes slowly and lowered his arms beside him and began to focus all his internal energy as time passed the place began to shake the breeze of air turning into strong winds circling around him even small stones began to fly
Arlin stared with intense focus and Raymos raised his eyebrows in amazement while Wang was watching in complete silence
And suddenly Arius opened his eyes in that moment a glowing crimson light exploded covering the horizon and the entire dimension trembled until it seemed like an earthquake of energy the light was so strong that if it were in the real world it would have covered the entire continent
And from the midst of that flash Arius emerged with slow steps his gaze sharp as a sword his hair became glowing with a light crimson color surrounded by an intense crimson aura rising like tongues of flame and his body emitted an energy pressure that almost crushed the air itself
Raymos trembled and stepped back a step then shouted stunned
What is this is this the Sovereign Raizo of that fool
Wang smiled calmly and said while placing his arm on his knee
Amazing not only opening it but mastering it in an amazing way this is very beautiful
Arlins eyes widened for a moment then she laughed a faint laugh saying
Finally this is what I wanted to see Arius
After Arius released his new transformation Arlin looked at him closely her eyes glowing with hidden wonder before saying in a deep voice
I have not seen a form like this in a long time
Arius smiled with confidence mixed with effort and answered
Believe me I exerted a great effort to make this and although it is the first time I am using it I will show you what it can do
Arlins eyes shone more and the smile of challenge forming on her face
Wonderful then O Celestine let us start the fight of Sovereigns now
Arius narrowed his eyes and said
But all the time you did not attack me I cannot determine the extent of your strength if you are satisfied with just avoiding my attacks
Arlin laughed lightly as she stepped forward
You are right then let us make it a real confrontation
In the next moment the two set off together at a speed exceeding sight until their bodies disappeared from view for a moment suddenly a violent sound of impact echoed shaking the entire dimension for Arlin to appear receiving a direct punch to her face but she did not get angry rather she drew a wide smile while returning with a stronger punch that sent Arius flying in the air for tens of meters
Arius stood up quickly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth then smiled as well
This is what I was looking for
The two rushed again and their punches began to intersect with rapid flash every strike producing a boom echoing in the horizon and every collision shaking the ground from under them and with every exchange of strikes the enthusiasm was increasing in their eyes as if the whole world shrank to become one arena for their legendary fight
Wang looks closely at the battlefield and comments in a low voice Amazing it seems the two are very excited for this battle
Raymos smiles slightly while watching Arius and Arlin and asks him with curiosity What do you mean by that
Wang replies his eyes following every movement of each of them In fact I have not seen Lady Arlin enjoying herself like this for millions of years during all that period she was isolating herself from the rest of the Sovereigns and barely doing anything except sleeping or executing orders to destroy planets and universes entrusted to her by the Great Sovereigns she never once undertook a legendary fight like this because of her massive power which all creatures and Sovereigns alike fear
Then Wang adds in a tone carrying respect and caution Unlike everyone Arius is the only one who accepted her request in the fight without hesitation or fear and this is what makes him special to her she sees in him someone who does not treat her as a monster but treats her as a complete person who understands and respects her and this is exactly what Lady Arlin has needed for a long time
Raymos immediately understands the reason for her intense interest in Arius and notices in his depths that even a powerful and majestic ruler like Arlin whom everyone fears sometimes wants others to treat her as they treat each other without majesty or fear but with respect and honest confrontation .
