For a being of absolute boundless eternity, five years was less than the blink of an eye.
But for Arthur Sterling, things were different. He was a man who had spent his entire mortal and immortal life moving at breakneck speed.
Five years of uninterrupted peace felt like an eternity of agonizing boredom!
The Ebon Empire was a flawless perfectly oiled machine.
The Mortal Domain, the Apex Realm, and the Celestial Court had been stitched together into a singular massive super-dimension.
The crushing classist hierarchies of the old Gods had been violently liquidated.
Under Arthur's absolute rule, the universe operated on a strict ruthless meritocracy.
If you worked hard, you got paid.
If you tried to start a rebellion, your entire bloodline was erased from existence before breakfast.
It was an incredibly efficient business model.
