SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE

The hyperbeings that Edgar saved reached the place where he was standing.

"W-where is he?" asked the woman in Susan's group.

"Susaaan!" Merryl and the others are also approaching.

"I was very worried when I saw the ogre attacking in your direction! I'm so glad that you are okay! Where is the red-haired man?" Merryl keeps moving her head and looks for Edgar.

"He might be gone," said Susan with a helpless expression.

"What?! How can he just disappear without letting us thank him?" asked Merryl with an astonished face.

"I don't know, but I know that he is not a selfish bastard like a poison guild," said Susan.

"Well said." 

A man's voice suddenly startled everyone. He is a man in his thirties. He has neatly combed hair. He is wearing a black jacket, blue jeans, and black shoes. He took out his wallet and showed his ID.

"I'm Rico. I am a secret member of PHA. I am the closest here, so I am sent by the vice president to talk to you all," said Rico.

The hyperbeings are surprised that a secret member is even mobilized.

Rico looks at them, then keeps talking.

"The information of the red-haired man must not be spread. You all should have a speculation about why he is so strong. If his information reached the ears of Poison Lord, he would be in danger. We will create a rumor, and you should follow our narrative."

"Of course! How can we let our savior be in danger?" said Merryl.

"Right! Right!" The other hyperbeings also agreed.

"Whoever spreads the information of the red-haired will be the enemy of our Evenheart Guild!" said Merryl.

"Whoever leaks will be our enemy forever!" said the hyperbeings.

Another thought is running through Merryl's mind.

"It was just my speculation, but PHA has just confirmed it: that red-haired man passed the gate of inheritance! My sister will definitely accept him! He will be a big boon to our guild! I should secretly look for him, then invite him! How should I tempt him to join our guild? He will not be lacking with cultivation techniques and resources. Should I use a beauty strategy?"Merryl grins as she thinks of a strategy.

Susan has a helpless look as she sees her friend grinning. She knows what is running through her friend's mind.

Rico asked them what happened inside the dimensional lock. They all told me what they saw. Rico is shocked that Edgar fought and killed the ogre alone, an ogre that can even transform. Edgar is much stronger than their estimate. Rico also talked with Robert and the other hyperbeing. They also agreed to keep their mouths shut about Edgar. PHA informed Tivac of the unfortunate news that the branch guild members were killed, which further made his bad mood worse.

The helicopters carrying high-level hyperbeings arrive one after another. They are very surprised that the fight is already over. They asked what happened. The hyperbeings saved by Edgar explained what happened. PHA deliberately spread the rumor that a descendant of the Sun family, which specializes in fire magic, saved them. The media also arrived one after another, and the rumor that a descendant of the Sun family solved the crisis reached their ears. Many ordinary humans witness the rushing motorbike and fire magic used by Edgar. The media is excited. It's an exciting story. They flock one another toward the residence of the Sun family.

The breaking news of the immediate world's burst has spread around the world through social media. The whole world is shocked, but some hyperbeings already expected it. They are the 8th circle magicians and demigods on Earth.

Inside a broken world, David, an 8th circle lightning magician of the Knight Guild of the UK, is standing on top of a black crystal eight kilometers long. The crystal stands in a diagonal line. Everything around him is a crystal of huge size. There are crystals with different colors, but the longest are black and are always hit by lightning. David has purple hair and armor. He is holding a silver lance. Purple energy surrounds David's whole body. It is like a flame. Some parts of the flame are separating and flowing to his back. Behind David, a faint, big purple fog has gathered.

The sky is very dark. There is a sound of thunder and lightning in the sky. Lighting keeps flashing in the dark clouds.

Boom! Boom! Purple lightning, many kilometers long, hit the top of black crystals. Lightning travels from the top to the bottom of the crystals. 

Boom! Lightning hit a black crytal near David, but he seems unfazed.

As lightning keeps falling and hitting the crystals, a knight guild member flies and lands near David.

"Leader, an immediate world's burst happened in the Philippines. It wasn't magic beasts that came out, but intelligent beings: orcs, and an ogre. They are already eliminated," said the guild member.

David is silent, but his grip on the spear has become stronger.

ROOOOAR! A loud roar appeared.

A huge purple lion came out of the dark clouds. It's one hundred meters long. It has a silver horn on its forehead, its hair is white, and it has two huge white wings.

DIVINE PROJECTION

The purple fog behind David moves and forms an almost transparent, one hundred-meter-tall figure. The figure's whole armor is purple.

Outside of the broken world, in a particular area in China.

A man with a red stick is walking on a large open field tinged with red while spreading his senses. His hair is brown, and he is wearing red armor and a yellow cape.

Around the open ground, there are tall barren mountains that are also tinged with red, not too far from each other. Red and brown dust is flowing around. The color of the ground and mountains is a result of mutation.

The man suddenly sneers. He sensed the giant worm, which is 35 meters long and lives underground. The worm is pink with many sharp teeth and two black horns on both sides of its mouth. He is hunting it because it wreaked havoc on a human settlement.

He is turning into a giant as he walks. His red stick is also getting bigger.

He stopped getting taller when he became fifty meters tall. Everything he wears grows at the same time that his height is getting bigger.

The giant being is Yuxin, a demigod that specializes in body cultivation with aura. His power to turn into a giant is a power he inherited from a god. He is the guild leader of the Ruyi Guild.

"Hmm?" He noticed a guild member flying toward him.

"Leader, there is urgent news from the Philippines."

In Italy, inside a guild headquarters that looks like a cathedral, a beautiful lady with golden hair is sitting cross-legged while meditating in a hall. The hall is white with silver patterns.

The lady is wearing a white robe with a hood. Threads of golden light are rotating and gathering toward her.

She is St. Analyn of the Light Guild, an 8th circle light magician.

She opened her blue eyes as she hears footsteps. No one would disturb her unless something urgent happened.

A girl who is also wearing a white robe with a hood entered the hall and reported what happened in the Philippines.

St. Analyn grips her fists. She, Yuxin, and David have the same thought. The other demigods and 8th circle magicians are not on Earth, but they will probably have the same thought.

"Invasion has already begun. More will come."

In the Philippines, the authorities sigh as they look at the damage caused by the battle. There is so much damage on the roads. Many buildings are also damaged to various degrees. They are very grateful to the red-haired man. They heard the devastating attacks of the ogre, and the consequences are severe if the buildings around them are hit by the ogre's attacks. No one died from the orcs, but some unfortunately died due to accidents caused by panic.

In a private residence, within a courtyard, the Head of the Sun Family is moving his whole body in a rhythmic pattern. His body is clad with a compact aura, and a fire dragon is moving along with his movements. He is wearing an orange robe with fire patterns, black pants, and black shoes. His hair is red and quite long. He heard frantic steps. A woman is running toward the courtyard. He dispersed the fire dragon, took a deep breath, and stopped releasing his aura.

The woman stopped at quite a distance from the man.

"What is it?" Calmly asked Seo, the Head of the Sun Family.

"Father, many media are here. They are asking who is the descendant that helped solve the crisis in Quezon City before the high-level hyperbeings arrived," answered the woman.

"How can they say that it was our descendant?" Seo's face looks confused. No one informed him that another family member was going to Quezon City. He only knew that a PHA member of their family was going there.

"They said he is red-haired, and he specializes in fire magic."

"Do we have family members near that place?" asked Seo with a frown.

"We don't know, but some of them are currently outside. There is a chance that it really is a member of our family. Father, what should I tell the media?" asked the woman.

Seo thinks for a while, then he smiles.

"We won't directly acknowledge it. Someone might want to use us as a shield, but it doesn't matter as long as it doesn't damage our reputation," said Seo.

"I understand, father," said the woman.

Seo looks in the direction of Quezon City.

"I hope it really is our descendant. If it isn't, only one organization could work this hard to cover that hyperbeing. There is only one reason for them to go that far, and I am looking forward to seeing how strong he becomes when he is ready to surface and be seen by the world."

Seo has bigger smiles as he thinks of this.
