"..." Azmond glared down at the two worms wiggling around in his hands as he asked, "Who here wants to figure out what it's like to fly through space like a rocket?"
"You bastard-!" They both exclaimed, but we're swiftly interrupted by Azmond, saying:
"That's good. I'm so very glad that both of you are so willing. And in response to this enthusiasm of yours, I will show you around the great void of space in person..."
Following his words, he darted straight through the barrier that separated Asterion from the Starry Expanse!
"What are you doing, you damn bastard!? Are you trying to kill us all!?" Broccoli shouted, frost forming on his face as the Void of Space was clearly taking its toll on his Tribulation Transcendance Realm body.
On the other hand, Pervasshat was faring a bit better, but not by much.
"Don't you folks worry, for I will give you the best experience possible in the Starry Expanse!" Azmond responded with a malicious grin, his figure blasting through every known speed barrier as he traversed dozens of light years in a split second!
Normally, both of the two scumbags would be dead after being dragged along at this speed, but he made sure to keep them on the edge of death and life.
After all, they didn't deserve to die so easily...
"Have either of you ever wondered what it would be like to be seared alive on top of a red giant?"
Azmond's playful voice echoed out in the vacuum of space using some magical means as he looked down at the two gurgling meat bags in his hands.
"Oh... I forgot that you guys can't talk, can you?" He asked with a forgetful look on his face.
"Silly me! Oh well, time to see what it's like to have you both burned alive for all eternity!"
He threw both of the meat bags into the nearest red giant, a few light years away.
And it didn't take long before both Broccoli and Pervasshat found themselves on the surface of a sun that burned at insane degrees.
...
A few million miles away from that statue, Azmond was flying through the skies, watching all of the various depictions of himself pass him by.
"How could so much change within such a short period of time?? And what is that symbol that is embroidered on everyone's clothes?? It looks like the Cthulhu symbol from my past life... The one that embodies absolute pandemonium..."
He saw this small badge with a terrifying creature on the front of it on the bodies of everyone around him, and there was only one explanation for this...
"My Faction token... This is what we were going to use to determine which of us was associated with the Heaven Exploding Faction... But how can this be...? We weren't going to put this part of the organization into play until the two-year mark... That is unless..."
A sudden realization overcame him as a seemingly unlimited number of system notifications consumed his vision!
"Oh shit... My clones... A temporal anomaly... T-This is... Was it a black hole??? But how...?"
Everything was being pieced together inside Azmond's head as he felt his power spike up like a rocket with an endless amount of rocket fuel!
The Late Meteor Shower Realm, the Peak Meteor Shower Realm, the Half-Step Moonlit Path Realm, the Initial Moonlit Path Realm...
The Early Moonlit Path Realm, the Middle Moonlit Path Realm...
And it wasn't until his power reached the absolute peak of the Half-Step Planet Forger Realm that the power boosts stopped coming in.
However, despite the insane increase in his strength, there were no changes to his Cultivation Base as it was still sitting at the Absolute Peak Stages of the Half-Step Tribulation Transcendance Realm.
"My Quantum Conquer Rank... Rank 16... T-This is..."
Azmond had never been so baffled in his entire life as he felt the power he now wielded while watching all the system notifications swarm his vision.
And it wasn't just his overall combat power and Quantum Conqueror Rank that had increased, as his Astral Augmenter Class and Mental Capacity shot straight up!
