Sako guided Team E-D-W to the Library of Hidden World in Lovaria, a site of mystery and ancient knowledge. The air was thick with anticipation as they approached. To mark the occasion, Sako presented the kids with a collection of comics that were over a thousand years old, artifacts filled with stories of heroes and adventures from long ago.
As the group gathered around the comics, Saki emerged from the shadows of the dark voids. She activated her Status and transformed into Royal Lady Flora, her disguise shimmering in the soft light. With an air of authority, she entered the library, leaving the rest of the team outside.
Teri, equipped with her Bluemoon mask, took her position, carefully aiming at the library's entrance. She activated her sniper gear and prepared for action, ensuring every detail was in place. The words "Status Sniper Items load" echoed in her mind, followed by "Status updated. Load complete." Focused and ready, she awaited the signal, her eyes locked on the surroundings, alert for any signs of disturbance.
Saki, now fully embodying Flora, made her way up to the 23rd floor of the library. She carefully opened an ancient book, its pages whispering secrets from ages past. Meanwhile, Edward activated his
Status: Hidden Omnipotence and wishes to make Dimension
Suddenly, a trap triggered, and Flora found herself pulled into a different dimension. In this strange place, a younger version of Edward appeared, holding a gleaming sword. He stepped forward and spoke, "We're here as protectors, not killers." Flora knelt, her eyes softening. "We came to defeat the kids, not to kill them. Our Dark Void history is clear—we've never taken a life."
Edward then commanded his Status to reveal the Dark Void History. The screen displayed: Dark Void Team—Ranked No. 1 in Questria Primary, quests with excellent performance, kills: zero. "We've never killed anyone," Edward said, "but someone framed us."
His gaze hardened. "I know who killed my family. I saw it myself—a Skull Mask wearing one of the Dark Void." Shadows of betrayal flickered in his eyes as the memory settled, fueling his resolve.
Saki turned to Edward and said, "Lord, I was Sako's twin. But one day, I lost the quest. I joined Dark Void just to survive. But I'm not evil."
Edward nodded. "Okay, Saki. Take the skill." He activated Status: Hidden Omnipotent and gave her the
Protector Blessing—Angel Soul. Darkness faded from her as she purified into an angel, fused with a dark angel soul, evolving into the Archangel race. She obtained her quest reward with the message:
Quest Complete.
Name: Defend Yourself

Outside, Teri activated Status: Sniper Fury, continuing her relentless strike to kill all intruders. She attacked from outside with legendary power.
Lizo, in his old man form,
activated Status: Triangular Sword Strike Form 1. He hit all bullets, then burst his OP item. From behind Teri, he shifted to
Form 2: Blitz Shock—dealing heavy thunder damage to targets. Teri killed the enemies swiftly.
The quest updated:

"Go to floor 25," the quest instructed. "Receive your reward."
Saki looked at the team seriously. "We're not evil. We were framed."
Edward frowned. "What do you mean, Saki? How?"
Saki took a deep breath. "Lord, after that incident, Dark Void got twisted. We were made out to be villains. Our boss was just a slave to the Golden Mask. He faked his death and everything that followed was just his plan to frame us."
Edward activated his Omnipotence Status again, scanning. Teri launched an attack, then reported, "Where's the body?"
"It doesn't exist," came the reply. "Teri's adventure died at age 12 in a dungeon accident. Status confirms it."
Edward's eyes narrowed. "So it's not the Skull Mask who killed my parents... it's the Golden Skull Mask. My old boss, the Skull Mask, only ordered me to beat you kids. But the Golden Mask's presence made the world see us as the real evil."
He clenched his fists. "My boss Regas tolerated the Golden Mask's chaos and planned to escape through the dungeon. But it turned into an accident. The Golden Mask faked his death, and Regas believed it. He built Dark Void under that illusion. Everything was framed on us."
Edward's voice lowered. "He's always tense, fearing that if the real owner returns, he'll kill us all—if he's even alive."
Lizo arrived with a calm but proud smile. "My kid, you've become a hero, Edward."
Edward's eyes lit up. "Master Lizo, you came to me?"
Lizo nodded. "Then you must be Saki's Dark Void Angel."
Edward asked, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to bestow your quest reward," Edward said, activating Status: Omnipotence. Three new skills flashed before him.
Lizato Viaterino's status updated:

He joined the Protector side and unlocked the Wishpool option, allowing him to see and grant rewards based on people's wishes.
The world announced: First Ascended Sword God, Lizato Viaterino, all skills ascended and evolved into the job skill Sword God.
Lizo looked at Edward in shock. "Edward, I'm your protector now. You made me ascend with this quest. From now on, I will be your shadow."
