Ascension of Chaos

The Class S System Hub

King Arnos frowns as he stands near the back of the Class S System Hub, simply watching the large screens near the center showing the two twins as they charge through the center of the Unique Domain. And the longer he watches, the more he gets irritated by the comments from the other Class S users in the hub. Because they're all chattering away making bets on how long they'll survive from here and how they'll die.

It's par for the course with them, but still…

The king has already made more than a few agreements behind closed doors to prepare for the Princess of Chaos's miraculous rise out of this Unique Domain.

Personally, he doesn't believe she or her brother can kill the Unique Monster. But he is close to certain by now from what he's seen that they should at least be able to survive.

His current plan with the Tower of Chaos and the Mage's Tower is to evacuate the twins as far away from the planet as possible and let them grow in the home worlds of the two towers. Getting them far away from the King of Destruction the moment they make it out of the Unique Domain.

Regardless of whether they kill the Unique Monster or not, both siblings have already surpassed every single person on their planet in level by now. And the Princess of Chaos has managed to claim dozens of powerful skills from Unique Domain monsters as well, making her a powerhouse amongst her own level at this point.

A real contender amongst the Successors, even if she's still not at the top.

King Arnos narrows his eyes a little at the screen as both twins run for their lives from waves of monsters chasing after them, occasionally getting hit by destruction magic and other sorts of attacks along the way. Only to regenerate from most of the attacks.

Not all of them regenerate though, since they're being hit too frequently for them all to have the chance to heal.

But they just keep running, occasionally tossing a ring into a corner after infusing some mana into them.

And even without knowing their exact plans, the king can pretty much guess what they're doing. Since he remembers seeing the twins putting the gunpowder into those rings.

They're planning on blowing up the entire volcano along with all of the monsters within.

The king rubs his chin in thought as the other Class S users discuss their current actions, but most of them don't seem to believe that the twins can pull it off before they die. Or they're assuming they'll also be killed in the blast when the explosion is finally set off.

Some of them are even rooting for that to happen, because they know the Unique Monster will also be weakened from the blast. And if they can get rid of two birds with one stone, the ruthless Class S users are perfectly happy with the outcome.

King Arnos turns to look in the direction of a few outliers amongst the crowd. One of which is the Queen of Purgatory. A Successor of Death and another potential ally for the pro-Ashley side.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

Then there are the Successors of Life who are all grouped together in another corner, clearly looking worried about the twins. Which is normal for the caregivers of the universe.

After them are the other nation leaders. The King of the Winter Fae Court, King Oberon, who is strongly supporting the Princess of Chaos. Although King Arnos hasn't seen any interest in the Successor of Magic from the calculative Winter King.

The Emperor of the Phoenix Dynasty, who seems to be interested in the Successor of Chaos in a different way than most others. As a potential candidate for empress or concubine to be exact, in a clear attempt to get her skill stealing skill added to their imperial bloodline. With, once again, no interest shown towards the Successor of Magic. Beyond his use for getting closer to his sister.

King Arnos turns to look at the three Sages of the Holy Mountain, who haven't said anything outright but have shown clear interest in the Successor of Magic. With no interest shown towards the Princess of Chaos.

Then he focuses on The Order, and the Justices currently stationed inside of the hub.

His brows furrow a little at the sight of them. None of the Justices have shown any inclinations of swaying to either side. The side supporting Ashley or the side against her.

Par for the course for Justicar's subordinates. Neutral on all topics and only caring about keeping order in the universe.

Right now the only thing he's seen The Order focusing on is the aftermath of when the King of Destruction breaks out of the Unique Domain. On controlling and trying to organize a force to wipe it out and hopefully save the world from destruction.

A pointless fight in many of the other Class S users' opinions, King Arnos's included.

The king finally turns his gaze towards those on the other side. The anti-Ashley forces.

The Queen of the Summer Fae Court, King of the Fallen Kingdom, Chairman of the Renerian Republic, and the Chief of the Wandering Tribe. All of whom have strong ties to other Primordials even if the Primordials don't support their decisions. Making it so that Chaos himself can't attack them directly and shielding them in the process.

Amongst the anti-Ashley faction, King Arnos is pretty sure the Summer Fae Court is only siding with their faction to oppose the Winter Fae Court. Since they are always in conflict no matter what they do, and no matter what ruler they have.

It's just set in stone in the universe that they will always be on opposing sides of a conflict.

The same goes for the Spring and Fall courts.

But the King of the Fallen Kingdom… he is someone King Arnos despises with all of his heart. And some part of him is happy that he has an excuse to collide with them.

If his spies are correct, the king is only participating because he wishes to see what sort of undead the Princess of Chaos would make and nothing more. But his public reason is for the safety of the universe and revenge for those whose skills were copied.

As for the Republic and the Wandering Tribe? King Arnos has no idea why they're participating. Since both of them tend to be neutral on most matters.

His gaze returns to the screens at the center of the chamber.

It's been nearly an entire week since the twins entered the inner region of the Unique Domain, and they're starting to get tired. That much is obvious. Especially since they're not being given any time to rest.

They've been trying to use as little mana and energy as possible, with both of them chugging potions throughout the entire time there.

The fact that they're both able to make potions and made a rather large stock before starting their bomb planting mission is amazing enough, but the king is more amazed by how persistent both of them are in surviving.

Now, though, things are starting to come to a climax.

The king's eyes narrow a little at the screens as the two begin to run low on rings.

If they plant too many more then they won't have any for the King of Destruction, so…

Just like he expects, both of them soon stop planting the rings and begin flying away from the inner region with trails of monsters following behind them.

Let's see how this plan of theirs finally plays out.
