Daniel paused for a moment to think.
With so many powerful beings witnessing this, hiding it was pointless.
Better to declare it openly to the world:
I, Faustus, have surpassed the prodigies of all worlds and ascended Cloudcrest Peak!
Even the Endless Worlds will have to swallow their pride!
"Yes!"
…
Aetheria.
[World Announcement: Player "Faustus" has reached the summit of "Cloudcrest Peak"—becoming the contemporary "Astral Morning Star"!]
Boom—!
The world announcement blared abruptly.
All players froze in astonishment.
"Faustus is invincible! Wait, what great feat has he pulled off this time?"
"No idea, but it sounds impressive—Astral Morning Star, tsk tsk!"
"Astral Morning Star? So majestic!"
"Honestly, if I could be even half as strong as him, I'd be satisfied."
…
God Realm.
In the towering God Realm, the gods sat upon their cloud-throne, solemn and immovable.
Countless deities simultaneously heard a single name ringing in their ears:
"Human, Faustus!"
