The Rise Of Calamity

Immediately, a purple light that was gradually turning golden again enveloped the white egg before distorting the space around it and making it stretch out, spin, and disappear as if a black hole had formed in the middle of it.

It did not even take another second for it to completely disappear into thin air, making all the beasts that had looked at me and the egg in worry finally let out a sigh of relief that they did not even know they were holding.

"Y-Your highness?" Asked the horse with wariness and terror lacing its voice.

"Yeah?" I looked towards the warhorse with a raised brow

"Was the purple power your unrestrained power?" The horse retreated a few more steps on instinct the moment I narrowed my eyes after hearing what he had said.

"Purple? Oh wait-... Yeah." I waved my hand nonchalantly and slopped my way to the warhorse.

"Your majesty, you should probably avoid using that much power when we are here. It might alert people" The horse lowered its head. I could still see that its entire body was still shaking, but it still chose to kneel.

"What do you mean? There aren't any human settlements in miles" I looked at the horse weirdly.

"Your highness... With all due respect, I don't think you understand how truly powerful you are. The moment you released your power I felt as if every cell in my body had reacted to your presence." The horse shuddered as the very recent memory of an insurmountable amount of pressure that felt as if a god the size of a titan had descended up her and everything within 20 miles.

After listening to what he had to say, a strike of realization finally hit me.

'The same thing happened when the word crystal fragment tried to swallow me... A huge amount of pressure that made even yuri faint immediately. Could it have been my soul flame? Is my soul flame the golden finger I had been waiting for this entire time!' A flash of excitement appeared in my eyes.

[Yes, of course, it is. But we have to ignore the fact that you had multiple GODDAMN TITLES YOU HAVE! YOU'RE A WALKING CHEAT CODE!]

Ignoring the party pooper's remark, I skipped towards the war horse and spoke.

"So, where is this treasury you were talking about earlier?" My face was beaming with joy and renewed vigor.

"Over this way" The warhorse nodded in a particular direction with tense posture. I could tell that she was extremely tense after feeling the amount of power that I must have released from my purple soul flame on accident, and since she was so close, it would have only made sense that she would be more affected than everyone else.

Lagua city

Countless powerful men and women found themselves drenched in a cold sweat as a terrifying wave of pressure fluctuated in the distance. Even though they were not even within the range of the aura, they could still feel how lethal and powerful it was, even for them, but other than that, nothing really happened.

It did not seem that anyone under the liquidus stage could feel the terrifying pressure, probably because it was so far away, however, there were two people who did wake up in a cold sweat that had not even reached the high tier of the gaseous stage, and that was none other than both Yuri and Olivia.

The moment Olivia had woken up, she had shot out of her bed and looked around the apartment with panic before seeing that everything was fine and going back to bed again. It was only when her face had hit the soft and bouncy pillow that she finally realized that something was missing from the room.

'I can't feel our connection... Oh, no Pan! What have you done this time."

In another room, Yuri had also shot up from her bed while looking around warily. After finally linking her sudden awakening and scare to a possible nightmare she had while sleeping that she does do not remember at all. She quickly went back to sleep, unaware of the blood within her system that had started to glow with a golden radiance.

Outside of that same room stood a girl with red hair and a voluptuous body that would make any man in this world fawn over her beauty. She had already left her bed and had gotten outside the room the moment she felt like the energy was half-familiar. After retracing her memories, she finally realized that even though both energies were different, they were inherently the same.

This was of course similar to the energy she felt from the residual mana that had been created and festered within the area after I had let off a huge explosion that vaporized everything within 1km and destroyed everything within 2.5 km other than some of the sturdier trees.

Remembering this, she quickly decided to fly towards the area where she felt the energy come from before a few more flashes of lights followed behind her in the same direction.

"Here we are. The treasury" The horse looked around and was not every impressed initially. While most beasts, depending on their breed and race, were as intelligent as a human by the advanced tier, they still did not have a functioning society running therefore they also did not have any use for money.

Literal mountains of gold could be seen towering high in the enormous treasure hall, making me almost salivate while watching the glimmers of lights reflect off the golden coins.

In the middle of the room stood a single mannequin that was clad in black armor that seemed to have been made for someone 30 times the size of me and countless unactivated runes along with it that seemed to need the mana of a person to activate. This probably meant that the moment I put mana in, the armor would automatically become mine, probably shrinking to my size and activating all the runes the moment I put the armor on.
