The Final Allocation: Shattering the Human Ceiling
The atmosphere within the Sanctuary fractured with a rhythmic, metallic thrum as the Legendary General brought his Abyssal Halberd down for the final execution. Death was inches away. But in that heartbeat of a second, Rudra's mind locked onto the system interface. He slammed the mental trigger on his command.
"[100 RESERVED POINTS ALLOCATED]"
A violent, pressurized blast of violet energy erupted from Rudra's body, throwing back the shadows. His attributes did not merely rise; they skyrocketed with the velocity of a solar flare. While his mana reserves remained dwarfed by the General's 45 Million MP, his Physical Power, Agility, and Perception surged to match the base-level foundations of a Rank-A Dunger.
His shattered ribs and ruined suit were forgotten as his body began to move at a "God-like" frequency—a speed that defied the optical processing of even a Legendary-tier monster.
The Slaughter: Eclipse of the Legend
The General's halberd struck the obsidian floor, but Rudra was no longer there. He had dissolved into a phantom of obsidian smoke, reappearing in the General's blind spot. Gripping his Void Edge with both hands, he channeled the entirety of his SSS+ Aura into the microscopic edge of the blade.
"This is for Chirag!" Rudra's voice was a low, lethal growl.
The General attempted to pivot, his massive armor groaning under the strain, but Rudra's newly ascended attributes allowed him to perceive the "Flow of Existence" itself. He spotted a microscopic fissure in the General's neon-blue chest plate—a flaw born from the General's own arrogance. Rudra drove the dagger home.
"VOID ERASURE!"
A silent, violet explosion followed. The General's 45 Million MP could not safeguard him; Rudra's strike was not an attack on mana, but an erasure of "Existence." A harrowing, guttural scream echoed through the Sanctuary as the titanic warlord began to disintegrate into glowing blue ash.
The Spoils: The Heart of the Abyss
As the General faded into nothingness, a pulsating blue crystal remained suspended in the air where his heart had once been. This was the [Primeval Ether Element].
Rudra reached out to claim it, but his hand recoiled as the element's raw purity began to sear his skin.
"Master! Do not attempt to integrate it!" the Ruin Soul warned instantly. "This element is antithetical to your Void existence. It would erase you. But for Kavir, it is a holy grail. If delivered to him, it will catalyze his B-Rank Magitech capabilities, evolving him into an S-Rank Engineer. Only an S-Rank Kavir can use this element to reconstruct Chirag's collapsing reservoir."
Rudra quickly secured the element in a localized void-container. He had no time left to marvel at the prize.
The Collapse and the Ghost's Escape
With the General's death, the entire Hell Gate began to groan and buckle. Outside, on the surface of the Indian Ocean, the thousands of monsters suddenly shrieked and dissolved into gray mist. The S-Rankers stood in stunned silence as the sea began to close the abyssal gap.
"The gate is closing... how?" Mason Steele shouted, his voice echoing over the crashing waves.
Utilizing the massive mana-fog created by the gate's collapse, Rudra slipped through the closing portal. He moved like a ghost through the deep ocean currents, bypassing the S-Rankers' sensors and vanishing into the coastline. The Master Squad remained on the surface, bewildered, attributing the victory to a delayed reaction of Chirag's synchronization.
The Ascension: B-Rank Platinum Sovereign
Reaching a desolate rocky outcrop kilometers away from the HQ, Rudra collapsed. The system notifications began to rain down across his vision.

Rudra felt the new power hum through his veins. His 5.0\times Platinum Tier multiplier had elevated his lethality to a terrifying new echelon. But his triumph was bitter.
"Kavir... I have to get to Kavir," Rudra panted, his eyes fixed on the distant lights of Mumbai. Chirag's MP was below 5 Million. Death was knocking at the Sovereign's door.
