10 years later.

Having successfully advanced Immortal's Resilience to the Yellow Rank, it was finally time for Azmodeus to open up his system interface and glance over the fruits of his efforts.

BLING!

How could one learn of loss if they hadn't first experienced it?

From the functionality of his five senses to the allure of women — Azmodeus first needed to have it all in order to understand true loss.

He never wanted a harem, and he never wanted romance or to feel the touch of a woman. He didn't particularly care about his ability to properly hear either. After all, when does one simply ponder a potential loss of hearing?

However, now that he lost the first few things, even though he never wanted them, he still felt the feeling of loss associated with that particular theft.

The Infinite Evolution System and the Path of Infinity were designed to help a traverser of Infinity imagine, visualize, and experience what could occur in any infinite number of timelines.

In the end, Azmodeus's torture in the underground dungeon of the Everveil Royal Castle was just another form of loss. It was just one of countless experiences that would truly engrain the essence of suffering into his very core...

But, with suffering, a true infinity Traverser would resist; they would actively attempt to defy their fate. And just as he refused to fall into depression after being forced to recall his memories of 'them', this time around, he would not give up just because he was trapped in a cell!

With an unmatched mindset, tempered through the loss he'd experienced thus far, he ceaselessly chipped away at his cell bars!

He was no bird in a cage! He was no prisoner of fate! He refused!

He refused to allow himself to give up and stay content!

HE REFUSED!!!

Crack—!

Then, as if the mechanisms of destiny acknowledged his will, the cell window bars cracked!

Before the bars could fall and potentially attract the attention of any onlookers or guards, Azmodeus swiftly shot his hands toward them all. Making use of his lightning quick reflexes and rough hand calluses, he gathered up the window bars and set them down on the ground right beside him. He then promptly leaped through the hole that was just big enough to allow him to squeeze in.

Thud!

In the dead of night, with the luminescent moon looming over the Eternal Jade Heavens Immortal Realm, the only prisoner of the secret castle dungeons slipped out of his cell.

Azmodeus stood in the middle of an open field under a sky bathed in soft, silvery luminescence. The grass shimmered like velvet beneath the night's quiet glow. Looking up at the low-hung moon, he watched as it spilled its pale moonlight across the earth, turning each blade of grass into a delicate filament.

Bathing in this resplendent moonlight, he felt like the ten years he spent in that prison cell were suddenly all worth it.
