Natsuki Minamiya heard Jibril's words and her face immediately filled with question marks. What did she mean the Dragonia were attacking? Creatures from another world? Thinking of this, she hurriedly said, "Let's go take a look!"
She didn't hesitate at all. If that was the case, she definitely had to go lend a hand. But there shouldn't be any otherworldly creatures invading, right? Their world wasn't exactly a pushover.
The first world that had tried to attack theirs had long since been annihilated. That was back when the spiritual energy revival had just begun and they were caught off guard, but since then, no other world had dared to invade their side.
It had always been them attacking others; she had never heard of anyone managing to strike directly into their territory. Was that kind of situation actually happening now? Without another word, Natsuki Minamiya prepared to call for backup.
"Wait, that doesn't seem right either. There's Master's aura up there? I'm not sure, I'll go check!" Little Jibril stared suspiciously in the direction of Avant Heim. It didn't quite feel like the power of the Dragonia, and the presence of Ren Isana's aura made it incredibly strange.
Hearing Jibril's subsequent words, Natsuki Minamiya suddenly remembered something. She looked toward Avant Heim with a mix of shock and uncertainty. "Could that guy be breaking through to Tier 10?"
She was well aware of Ren Isana's strength. He had long since surpassed her and was already on the verge of Tier 10, but was it really this absurd? The last time she saw him, he hadn't broken through yet, and now he was just doing it out of nowhere.
When Jibril mentioned Ren Isana, she had started to suspect it. After all, the only one who could get up there was that guy, not some Dragonia like Jibril had claimed.
"Master really is up there, but it looks like we can't go up right now. The time and space up there have become incredibly chaotic, completely in a state of disorder. If we just barge in, our time will be disrupted." Jibril's gaze instantly turned incredibly solemn.
She could completely sense Ren Isana's aura now. He was up there, which meant Natsuki Minamiya's guess was correct—Ren Isana was truly breaking through.
"If that's the case, then let's not disturb him!" After saying that, Natsuki Minamiya stepped aside and took out her phone to explain the situation to Director Ken.
The best way to help right now was to lock down that airspace for Ren Isana. Otherwise, any flight paths passing through would suffer interference. Beyond that, it was best to keep anyone else from approaching.
With these thoughts in mind, Natsuki Minamiya quickly sent the message, then turned to Jibril. "Can you call the rest of your people back? I think he needs your help right now. The best thing you can do is help him lock down the sky."
The best method to blockade the airspace was to send the Flügel, and they were also the most suitable for the job. Ren Isana was their current master, so having them stand guard was the optimal choice, wasn't it?
Hearing Natsuki Minamiya's words, Jibril's expression immediately grew serious. "Understood! I'll go call Azriel right now!"
With that, Jibril turned and re-entered the spatial portal. About a minute later, Flügel after Flügel rushed out of the portal and flew straight up into the sky.
In just a few minutes, the sky around Avant Heim was completely locked down. All the Flügel were in position. None of them rashly intruded; instead, they formed a defensive perimeter around the space-time barrier radiating from Ren Isana.
Ren Isana had defeated the God of War, and the God of War had entrusted them to him. Although quite a few Flügel were still a bit disgruntled about it, the majority were willing to obey him.
Disgruntled or not, they had all acknowledged this master. If something really happened to Ren Isana, these Flügel would genuinely go mad. The God of War who created them had already passed away.
If their second successor also had an accident? That would practically be the death of them. The true mindset of most Flügel was: *I might not fully accept him, but there's no way you outsiders are allowed to bully our master!*
Now that Ren Isana was breaking through, the Flügel had rushed back without a second thought the moment they received the news. At this moment, the sky had completely become a restricted zone. Not even a single fly was allowed to approach.
Azriel casually crushed a small sparrow that flew too close with a backhand, then turned her gaze toward Avant Heim. At this very moment, it was as if time had been completely paused across the entirety of Avant Heim. The sight made Azriel click her tongue in amazement.
She had never seen what it looked like when the God of War broke through, but wasn't the commotion from Ren Isana's breakthrough a bit too massive? Especially when she noticed that the power of space-time was continuously spreading outward.
"At this rate, won't it just cover the entire island, nya?" Azriel squawked as she backed away. With this speed of expansion, was something going to go wrong?
"I don't know, it's not like I've ever broken through!" Jibril curled her lips. She had no idea either. Little Jibril was currently waiting for Ren Isana to finish his breakthrough so she could ask him how they should proceed on their own paths.
After they were created by the God of War, their strength had stagnated once it reached a certain level. They hadn't grown any stronger in all these years, and even an exceptional individual like her was no exception.
The Flügel muttered and chatted idly high up in the sky, while simultaneously spreading out slowly into the surroundings, terrified of being touched by the domain Ren Isana was releasing.
At this time, Director Ken of Dimensional Nexus University also appeared on the roof of a building on Nexus Island, looking in their direction. Feeling the continuously spreading power, he couldn't help but marvel.
"Truly incredible. That kid's breakthrough speed is so fast. It's only been a little over a year so far, right?" Thinking of Ren Isana's current age, Director Ken couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder.
This kid was destined to be a legend. Reaching Tier 10 in just a year—who would dare believe such a thing if it were spoken aloud?
"How should we arrange things?" As Director Ken's voice fell, several figures silently appeared beside him. The newcomers were several teachers from Dimensional Nexus University, and the one speaking was Luo Hao, who had crossed paths with Ren Isana once before.
"There's no need for arrangements. Those girls will be guarding the sky above. His power shouldn't spread down here, and it will probably be over by tomorrow." As Director Ken spoke, a flash of blue light flickered in his pupils.
Luo Hao nodded upon hearing this. She looked up in Ren Isana's direction with an incredibly complex expression. If she hadn't become a God Slayer, perhaps she would also be pursuing a higher realm?
It was a pity that her path forward had been severed. She only hoped that Ren Isana would eventually find a way for them to continue advancing. As a perfect God Slayer, perhaps Ren Isana possessed such a method?
"Let's go. There's no need for us to worry too much. Everyone, get back to what you were doing." After retracting his gaze, Director Ken said this in an excellent mood. It was truly wonderful that Ren Isana had taken this step.
After Director Ken finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot. Seeing this, the others also slowly dispersed and stopped spectating. They still had things to do.
The people on Nexus Island had also noticed the anomaly in the sky by now. Seeing the movements of the Flügel, they couldn't help but be curious. Had something happened? Many people couldn't suppress their curiosity.
However, Nexus Island quickly issued an announcement forbidding anyone from approaching, stating that they would bear the consequences if attacked. The notice didn't explain what was happening over there, leaving many people scratching their heads.
The space-time barrier over Avant Heim expanded little by little. It wasn't until midnight that the expansion finally stopped and began to retract. Seeing this, the Flügel instantly perked up.
Was it about to end? The Flügel hurriedly shrank their defensive perimeter. By daybreak, the space-time barrier had completely retracted back onto Avant Heim, and the massive Avant Heim itself gradually recovered.
However, the entity seemed completely unaware of what had happened. Seeing that the Flügel had all returned, it quite happily greeted everyone. The Flügel ignored it, instead following the barrier into the God of War's palace.
Soon, they also saw Think Nilvalen there. By now, Think had returned to normal and was standing there waiting. Seeing the Elf, the Flügel crowded around her.
"You were inside this whole time?" Jibril hurriedly asked. This girl had experienced everything firsthand; she definitely knew Ren Isana's condition.
Facing Jibril's inquiry, Think didn't hide anything and explained how she had been affected by time. Then, she looked outside and asked, "How much time passed for you out there?"
Facing Think's question, Jibril didn't hide anything either and explained the situation. "Only one night has passed. What about on your end?"
Knowing that it was an issue related to time, she was immediately puzzled. Could it be that Think had experienced a very long period of time?
"I spent seven days on Avant Heim!" After saying that, she turned to look at Jibril. Seven days had just slipped by like that, yet only a single day had passed in the outside world.
The many Flügel were utterly amazed upon hearing this answer. That much time had actually passed? Could even more time have passed for Ren Isana? Time was completely chaotic, wasn't it?
Jibril and the other Flügel couldn't help but discuss it among themselves, while simultaneously keeping their eyes on the interior of the God of War's palace. That power was continuously retracting. It probably wouldn't be long before Ren Isana came out.
They didn't go inside, instead waiting quietly right there. They just didn't know if Ren Isana had truly managed to break through this time. At this moment, the Flügel couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.
Inside the palace, Ren Isana slowly opened his eyes. The aura around his body was completely retracted, making it seem as if he didn't exist at all. He had perfectly blended into his surroundings. If Jibril and the others were here, they would definitely realize that the current Ren Isana was existing in a completely different space-time from everyone else.
"This is truly fantastic. I've finally broken through!" Feeling the laws that had condensed within his body, a wave of ecstasy instantly washed over Ren Isana's face. Moreover, because of space-time, the current Ren Isana now knew exactly how to proceed in the future.
Space-time, karma, fate... ultimately transforming into chaos. This was the most suitable path for him. Master space-time to converge the self, cycle through karma, dictate fate, and finally, let everything he had mastered transform into chaos to achieve transcendence!
