Black Eye sat in his seat in complete silence while all eyes turned toward the lady who stood in the center of the hall with unmatched majesty. She began her speech in a tone filled with pride mixed with danger, saying, **"In just two years, we have managed to strengthen our gear and army in an unprecedented way. Our influence is no longer localized; rather, our relations have expanded, and our prestige precedes us both inside and outside this world."** Then she smiled maliciously and pressed a button on the remote control, turning the screen behind her into an exhibition of wanted posters.
The images of the Sinshu appeared with astronomical numbers that would make any bounty hunter lose their mind. The member who called himself the Fourth laughed with feigned disgust and said, **"What is this? My bounty is only 5 quadrillion coins? This is strange; even though I plunged the affairs of the Ten Worlds into chaos, my worth does not exceed the price of a pathetic solar system!"** The member adjacent to him sharply retorted, **"Be grateful, man! Look at my bounty; it has reached at least 700 quadrillion. You won't have all eyes on you, but as for me, the price on my head has multiplied, and I am in a difficult position."**
The First Member questioned the reason for this sudden increase, and the other replied cryptically, **"Perhaps because of what I did in..."** then suddenly fell silent and said, **"Forget it."** Meanwhile, the masked female member was lamenting her luck because her bounty did not exceed 300 trillion, to which the lady coldly replied, **"At least it won't cause you much trouble."**
Here, **Blue Eye** directed his gaze toward the lady and asked with curiosity, **"Madam, and how much has your bounty reached now?"** The smile vanished from her face, replaced by a look of sharp coldness as she brought down her own poster. A deadly silence fell over the hall when the number **4 septillion** appeared. Everyone was stunned, and Blue Eye screamed, **"This is impossible! Your bounty is truly terrifying; the difference between us is like a potato thrown into a vast river!"**
The poster bore her title, **"The Gray Eye"**, and beneath it her real name that shakes the foundations of the worlds, **"Izola"**. Izola said in a confident tone, **"From now on, I am the fourth most wanted being in the cosmos, after my older brother, the head of the Izuria organization, and the nightmare of the worlds, Baryon the Sweeper."** Then she turned toward Black Eye, who was sitting in absolute silence, and said, **"You are lucky, Black Eye. You are the only one among the six Sinshu whose name has not yet been added to the wanted list."** Black Eye did not utter a single word and contented himself with staring into the void from behind his mask.
Outside the planet and deep in the dark space, **President Dazai** stood before the mysterious client with the amphibious creature's head in his hand. He handed it over to him coldly, saying, **"Just as you wanted."** The client immediately ordered his soldiers to unload the huge chests of money and deliver them to the organization's men. The wealth was so immense that it quickly filled the cargo halls.
The client said with gratitude and appreciation, **"President Dazai, it is always a pleasure to work with you, and we will cooperate a great deal in the future."** Dazai smiled a calm smile and replied, **"And I am pleased with that."** The client and his soldiers departed, heading toward their planet which had been cleansed of the tyrant. Meanwhile, Dazai turned to his army and said sternly, **"Let's go back to our planet immediately."**
Dazai and his soldiers set off, piercing the expanse of space like thousands of falling meteors, leaving behind trails of light tracing their return path to their fortified stronghold. Everyone left the hall, and silence remained the master of the situation until **Black Eye** moved to leave, but **Izola's** decisive voice stopped him, saying, **"Stop for a moment."** He turned to her calmly, and she looked at him intently, saying, **"I have a special mission for you that you will carry out alone."** He nodded in agreement before she uttered the details. She smiled in astonishment and said, **"I haven't said anything yet, and you've already agreed. What if I told you its nature?"**
Black Eye replied in his deep, cold voice from behind the mask, **"Your commands and President Dazai's commands are above everything else, and I am nothing more than a follower to both of you until I meet my end."** Her words touched a chord of satisfaction in Izola, so she said, **"Very well, I will tell you, and I think you will like it in one aspect, though I don't know if it will displease you in another."** He answered with deadpan stiffness, **"I accept anything."**
Izola said as she approached the screen, **"In fact, I don't like that you are still unknown to the world despite your high competence, which I know very well—for it was I who chose you myself. But to ensure your eternal loyalty to my brother Dazai, you must plunge into blood like us. It is time to unleash your potential in the face of whoever thinks themselves unbreakably thorny."**
He asked coldly, **"And what is required?"**
Izola placed four papers before him and said, **"The requirement is two missions: the first is to help spread our name beyond our current scope, and the second is to kill these four people in the pictures. After that, you have absolute freedom to kill anyone who claims strength in any place you see fit; you have the right to rule over them and deal with them."**
Black Eye looked at the four pictures:
1. **The Creature Merchant:** The largest smuggler in the region, with a bounty of **500 quadrillion**.
2. **The Government Thief:** Owner of the largest banks and warehouses in this universe, accused of bribing private entities for assassination and illegal activities in this universe and across several neighboring universes.
3. **Yusha:** An assassin from the Tenth World within the scope of Karma, who kills purely for fun and amusement.
4. **Arius Myra:** A Celestine warrior from the First World and a relative of the ruler **Nahira, Ruler of the First World**, and not wanted by any specific authority.
He contemplated the pictures and said, **"All of these are villains, aren't they?"** Izola replied maliciously, **"Yes."** He picked up Arius's picture and asked, **"What is this?"** She laughed and said, **"The surprise of the season, and trust me, we will enjoy ourselves greatly after killing them in public. Start by eliminating everyone who claims strength so you can become the top wanted person among that category... a merciless killer will be excellent marketing for your name."**
Black Eye gave her a final look and said, **"Very well."** Then he turned to leave, and she called out, **"Don't forget... enjoy every moment."** He turned his head slightly and then walked out of the hall in absolute silence, preceding a storm that would tear through many events and shake the thrones of its rulers. While **Black Eye** was making his way through the long corridors of the subterranean palace, he ran into President **Dazai**, who had just returned victorious. Dazai called out to him in a tone filled with warmth and pride, saying, **"We finally harvested what we wanted, my friend! It was a very successful trip."** Black Eye replied with his usual coldness, **"Yes."**
Dazai suggested enthusiastically, **"How about we celebrate this success now?"** Black Eye looked at him and said, **"I have a mission I must start."** Dazai frowned slightly and said, **"Why don't you postpone it so we can celebrate together? Parties without your presence are boring and tasteless."** Black Eye answered stiffly, **"I truly wanted to, but the mission comes directly from Lady Izola herself."** At that, Dazai's tone changed, and he said understandingly, **"If that's the case, I won't hold you up. Go and accomplish what you must."**
Black Eye withdrew, heading toward his private quarters where the room inhabited by complete silence. He sat on the edge of his bed and placed the four pictures in front of him. He began contemplating them one by one until his hand settled on the picture of **Arius**. He picked it up, brought it close to his eyes, and kept gazing at the Celestine's features for a long time, as if something in that picture was awakening deep memories or lingering questions within his soul.
In the heart of the Ten Worlds, specifically in the luxurious **Karma Palace**, the king was relaxing in his hot springs from which the energy of healing and comfort flowed. He asked suddenly in a composed voice, **"Is there anything new?"** The High Master appeared suddenly amidst the thick fog and said, **"No, my master. We have not detected any movement by the Gustoria organization in our world for years. It seems they have become self-sufficient and realized that confronting us will bring them nothing but losses."**
Karma commented while closing his eyes, **"Do not forget that their members are still at the top of the list of the most dangerous criminals in existence."** The Master replied, **"Of course, my master. Over the past years, the bounties of the five Sinshus have skyrocketed crazily."** Karma asked with interest, **"And what about Dazai?"** The Master answered, **"His bounty has been fixed at 100 septillion coins, just as it has been for seven years; it hasn't changed."**
Karma sighed irritably and said, **"Pay attention... that scoundrel is a real danger to the stability of our worlds, and if he sets foot here, he will cause countless disasters. I might be forced to intervene myself to stop him. The good thing is that he still refuses to cooperate with the head of the Izuria organization; if those two poles united, I would indeed face some trouble, but the competition between them serves us."**
The Master continued with an additional report, **"Master, regarding that, I heard that a new Sinshu has been appointed in Gustoria."** Karma asked with clear indifference, **"And what is his rank?"** The Master said, **"The Sixth, my master."** Karma laughed mockingly and said, **"Forget about him. If the Second Sinshu is merely an insect in our eyes, what about the Sixth? The important thing now is to focus on closing the loopholes in our world's security systems; I don't want any disturbance cutting short my long periods of rest."**
The Master said, **"As you command, my master,"** and vanished from the spot just as he had appeared. Karma muttered to himself as he submerged into the warm water, **"What an annoying nuisance... as if I needed to worry about the news of the filth of the accursed World Zero. All I want is rest and quiet. If that world were under my authority, I would erase it like forgotten dust, but it is full of complicated matters and stupidity that cause a headache. I will stay here and relax; I might retire from the world for a billion years without boredom."**
Days passed, and with them, skills matured and bodies were completed. We now see **Raimus**, having completed his nineteenth year, standing inside a closed arena wiping the sweat from his forehead after defeating several strong fighters in a grueling workout. He breathed deeply and said, **"This fight was a lot of fun; I felt the flow of power in my veins."** He stepped out of the arena to find **Wang**, as usual, waiting for him, offering him a white towel and saying respectfully, **"Here is the towel, my lord."**
Raimus stepped toward him humbly and said, **"Wang... it is truly embarrassing for you to call me 'my lord' while you are my teacher who polished my skill."** Wang smiled and replied calmly, **"Despite that, I must do so. You are now the new Ruler of the Sixth World, and protocol demands itself."** Raimus sighed and said, **"Not yet... I haven't been officially crowned, Wang."** Wang clarified seriously, **"Regarding that, the coronation ceremony will take place tomorrow in the palace of the Supreme Ruler, Karma."** Raimus looked toward the distant horizon and said, **"Very well... I will be ready for that big day."**
Hours later, Raimus landed on planet Earth, where calm and serenity prevailed. As soon as he entered the house, he called out with a voice full of longing, **"Dearest Lina... I'm back!"** **Lina** rushed out from inside with joy filling her face. She welcomed him at the door and kissed him warmly to express her happiness at his return, saying, **"Welcome home, my dear husband. You stayed away for a long time this time."** Raimus smiled as he hugged her and said, **"You know I was immersed in evolution training and didn't think about anything else."**
Lina pouted playfully and said, **"You didn't think about anything else? Not even me?"** Raimus laughed, picked her up in his arms, and said, **"I was thinking about you more than anything else in this existence."** Then he carried her inside as they laughed into the depths of the house.
As they sat at the dining table, Raimus began explaining to her seriously, **"Well, my dear, regarding my work... tomorrow I will be crowned Ruler of the Sixth World, as you know."** Lina laughed with pride and said, **"That's wonderful! You totally deserve it; your chance to become ruler of your people was lost in the past, and this coronation is fair compensation for what you lost."**
Raimus held her hands and said in a calm tone, **"I want to clarify to you that I never want to be away from you. So, what do you think, Lina? Will you accept to come with me and settle on a private planet of our own in the Sixth World? I understand that your life and beautiful memories are here, but I cannot be preoccupied away from you."** Lina thought for a few moments, then smiled and said, **"I agree."**
Raimus's face lit up with relief, and he eagerly kissed her hands. He asked, **"Are you serious?"** Lina laughed and said, **"I am with you until the end, and I also have news that might make you even happier."** Raimus focused his gaze on her with curiosity, and her face flushed slightly before she said shyly, **"I... I am carrying your child, my dear."**
Silence hung for a few seconds before Raimus's thunderous laughter burst out. He screamed with sheer joy, picked her up high, and flew around the house, shouting, **"Am I really going to have a child? This is the happiest news I've ever heard in my entire life! This coronation and this child are better than any battle I've fought or any position I've attained!"** Happiness filled the corners of the humble home at that moment.
On the quiet planet of Arlin, Arlin stood inhaling the final night breeze as ruler, contemplating the stars she had always ruled under their light. Wang approached with his sober steps and said, **"Everything is ready, my lady."** She turned to him with gratitude and said, **"Good, Wang. I have truly been honored to serve with you all these years."**
Wang smiled respectfully and replied, **"The honor is mine, my lady, and I hope you find success in your new life and with the upcoming ruler."** Arlin affirmed her trust in him, saying, **"I always trust you. Anyway, have you prepared my things for departure?"** Wang asked her if she had decided to live on Earth, but she answered with a tone seeking salvation, **"No, I decided to live on an isolated planet at the edges of the cosmos, far from the noise of power for millions of years. I was charged with destruction and anger, and now I want to be what my grandmother wanted me to be."** She then remembered her grandmother's old advice: **"Be your true self, and never let anyone judge you by your appearance or your actions, my child."**
The next day, in the heart of the royal **Karma Palace**, the scene was breathtakingly majestic. The grand hall overflowed with rulers from every direction, and Karma sat on his great throne, watching his subjects. The delegation consisting of **Raimus, Lina, Wang, Mythos, and Arlin** entered amidst Lina's astonishment, as she had never seen such grandeur in her life. Wang whispered to her, **"This is the center of existence, and from here the laws that govern us all are administered."**
Nahira did not miss the opportunity to approach Arlin, saying mockingly, **"I see you surrendered to the instincts of weakness and decided to step down."** Arlin replied coldly, **"This is my personal desire, and you have no business with my decisions."** Nahira flared up in anger and said, **"It doesn't matter; the Sixth World will always remain the lowest no matter how its administration changes."**
Then Nahira headed toward Lina, who looked nervous, and said maliciously, **"Strange, O human, I don't see your brother beside you. He is supposed to be the first supporter of you and your husband, the new ruler."** Lina's features grew pale, and she felt a sudden dizziness. Raimus held her anxiously while Lina asked him in a trembling voice never to mention that name again. Nahira smiled triumphantly and said to herself, **"As expected, the brother causes her pain, and this reminds me of my situation with my eccentric sister."**
Karma announced the start of the coronation ceremony. Arlin and Raimus stepped forward before the king. Karma extended his hand and pulled the "Essence of the Ruler" from Arlin's body. Upon the departure of the power, Arlin collapsed and fell to the ground, and her youthful features began to fade, turning her into an old, frail woman—for power was what maintained her youth. Raimus tried to help her, but Karma rebuked him coldly, **"Stop now. I will plant this power in you so that the authority of the Sixth World becomes entirely yours."**
Karma pushed the energy into Raimus's body, and Raimus screamed with pain that tore through the silence of the hall. He felt his heart exploding and his mind shattering before a terrifying purple aura burst from him, shaking the foundations of the palace. Raimus stood up feeling an invincible power coursing through his veins, but something had changed in his gaze. He moved coldly, passing by Arlin who lay collapsed on the ground without extending a hand to help her, as if the new power had erased his emotions in a single moment.
Lina was shocked by her husband's sudden aloofness, while the rulers smiled as if welcoming a new member to the club of the arrogant. **Mythos** rushed alone to help Arlin up and asked her anxiously if she was alright. She nodded with difficulty and headed with her toward the seat next to Lina.
**At this moment, the entire world was watching through screens: Claris in the First World, Dazai and Izola in World Zero, and all the Sinshu watching the birth of a new ruler. But in a dark corner, "Black Eye" was staring at his small screen, his eyes never leaving Raimus... So will the coronation be the curtain that closes, or the fuse that ignites the first winds of coming change?.
