At the training ground, Yoriichi was present at 8:37 PM.
Yoriichi was still lying unconscious on the ground, exhausted from the rigorous training he had undergone. He was in poor physical condition due to the war against the Scorpion Organization on Jeju Island.
A wave of multicolored energy emanated from his body, forming a layer that covered him like a shield for several seconds before completely dissipating, leaving behind a golden mist.
"What's happening? Why can't I speak or open my eyes? This is extremely frustrating," Yoriichi muttered to himself as he struggled to open his eyes and mouth to speak. Naturally
But his attempts were futile. He tried to get up from his place, but the same thing happened; he couldn't move an inch.
"I'm in real trouble right now. It seems my body's energy is completely depleted. I'm weak and can't do anything."
"Is anyone somewhere? Someone here will die if no one helps him."
Yurichi's energy was extremely low. He didn't have much left to rely on to stay alive. Even ordinary humans possess energy within them.
If we take Go users as an example, ordinary humans who cannot refine and evolve have a small amount of Chi in the Primal Sea, estimated at 0.01%, which allows them to live.
But if energy is depleted to the last drop, a living being dies immediately because it is devoid of life force. Ultimately, mental, physical, and spiritual power share one thing: they are life-or-death forces residing within an entity, whatever its type.
And they need them to stay alive. Even those who have reached For the rank of Master Ruler, if their energy is completely depleted, they will die. There is no such thing as infinite power.
Ultimately, if two entities with infinite power fight, they will exhaust their strength over time, and even infinite power loses its meaning.
However, let's return to the important point. Since Yoreichi is a Saint, he doesn't possess infinite power and needs energy to activate his dimensional space and spiritual realm to give himself a regenerative potion or something similar.
Yoreichi exhaled through his nose, trying to clear his mind so he could solve the problem he had gotten himself into. His life was on the line, and there was no one nearby to help him.
"Request... I am Yoreichi de Molière, heir to the Duchy of de Molière. I request assistance from the nearest person bearing the blood or crest of the de Molière family. I repeat, I need help."
"My current location is Training Hall No. 5 in the western part of Euspecrus City. Hurry, I have no time to waste."
In Euspecrus City, Yoreichi's message arrived. There were 25 people present, including Gray, his cousin, Seok, who carried the family crest, and Reinhardt, the head of the Duchy of de Molière and Yoreichi's father.
"Yoriichi is in real trouble. I have to help him," Gray said anxiously, looking in the direction Yoreichi was located.
Elsewhere, Seok gazed at the family crest, which glowed with a cold crimson light, creating a dome of containment that enveloped the entire city of Euspecies.
"Someone wants to kill Yoreichi while he's draining humanity. They're scum. If they find a weakness, they'll exploit it and eat you alive."
Seok vanished, heading towards those who wanted to kill Yoreichi.
"That filthy Yoreichi de Molière! If you kill him, I'll be able to join the Masters class, hahaha!" someone said happily and excitedly, imagining his status as a Masters student.
However, reality had other plans. Seok suddenly reappeared without warning, leaving him stunned. For a moment before he turned away from him.
He stood atop one of the buildings, a smug smile on his face. "Ah, Seok, Sunday. Masters Class students, welcome. By the way, why don't you give me your place in the Masters Class? My year is..."
Before the person could finish, his head had been reduced to a mass of flesh and bone, a skull with brain matter flying out, and his eyes on a rooftop. A student's body fell to the ground, warm crimson blood gushing out.
"I have no time to listen to your nonsense and your pointless arrogance," Seok spoke coldly, looking towards the next target.
"The De Molière family is truly impressive. Although they were the ones who proposed a contract on the condition of helping them in a war, they still set a condition. I will fulfill the agreement: kill 12 traitors within two hours. It will be an enjoyable challenge. I haven't killed anyone willingly in all my years."
"Hahaha, hahaha, hahaha. It will be very enjoyable. You see?" Their bodies being torn apart will be a delightful spectacle. The Ruler of Curses has returned, and beautiful crimson blood will adorn the entire city of Euspecers. Seventeen people will be my first creation! Hahahaha! Hahahaha!
Seok spoke with a mixture of excessive enthusiasm and a bloodlust that was enough to instill terror in everyone's hearts. He was half cursed, commanding murder, his hybrid nature between curse and human.
This instilled in him a stronger murderous instinct and desire, but at the same time, he was completely in control of them.
Seok vanished from the scene, an overwhelming, dark, reddish aura surrounding his body.
Several blocks away, a woman who appeared to be in her twenties was leaping from buildings at high speed, a malicious smile plastered on her face.
"My mission is nearing its end. Five years of patience, and now it's time to reap the rewards! Hahahaha! I'm so happy!"
"And I'm even happier than you, whatever your name is." "
"
A woman was startled by a tone of voice filled with mockery and a terrifying murderous intent that caused her face to completely darken.
"Who the hell are you?" the woman's voice was filled with fear and dread.
Yet, Seok remained silent for a split second before splitting her in two, his face filled with ecstasy.
The woman's face was filled with shock as crimson blood and the food she had eaten gushed from her body, and her entrails slammed to the ground, scattering food remnants everywhere.
Seok then threw the woman's body to the ground and continued on his way. Thanks to his dome, he was almost invincible, but he had to hurry because he could only use his power for a limited time of fifteen minutes.
Elsewhere, in the training arena where Yoruichi was standing before him, Reinhardt looked at Yoruichi's body, which was completely helpless.
Reinhardt healed Yoruichi's body with his ability to He manipulated the concept of life andWho will restore Yoreichi's body to its normal state?
A look of astonishment crossed Yoreichi's face as he opened his eyes. "Thank you. I won't forget..."
A look of shock crossed Yoreichi's face as he looked at Reinhardt. He immediately stood up, his face etched with fear.
Reinhardt continued to stare at Yoreichi, who was looking at the ground, a scent of fear emanating from his body. "Why did you do something so stupid? Do you want Yoreichi to die or what? Your actions are foolish. They will only bring shame upon you and your family." A look of shock crossed Yoreichi's face as he clenched his fist tightly. "I'm sorry. I won't do it again."
Reinhardt didn't say a word, and this only made Yoreichi's psychological state more disturbed than it already was.
"What is this thing?" Reinhardt asked in surprise as he looked at a system screen floating in his field of vision.

] Mission: Improve your relationship with your son, Yorechi de Molière, and help him overcome his complex.
Deadline: Dawn of May 29th
Reward: The Essence of the Fantasy World Demon
Punishment: Death
Important Conditions
1. Improve Yorechi's mental state
2. No mental manipulation techniques are allowed
3. Act spontaneously
Reinhardt looked at the system screen in surprise. He didn't have a system at all, and he'd never heard of such a mission for a ruler. But why did he want him to improve his relationship with his son, Yorechi de Molière, and help him overcome his complex? These were the thoughts swirling in his mind.
After seeing the reward of the Fantasy World Demon Essence, about which he'd found information on Sunday, Alessandra and Zhao Li wrote, and because of his meetings with rulers from other regions,
he knew he had to obtain it at any cost. Developing to a rank above ORR-5 by one or even three ranks was entirely up to luck.
He returned Reinhardt's attention shifted back to Yorichi, scrutinizing every inch of his body before he placed a hand on Yorichi's shoulder.
A look of confusion crossed Yorichi's face, and a slight tremor ran through his body. Yorichi had always been very afraid of his father, Reinhardt, because of how he had treated him as a child.
"Fighting Scorpion Light and Darkness Sunday, the leaders of the Scorpion Organization's Special Council, was something you could be proud of."
Yorichi looked at his father in disbelief and involuntarily took a step back. After all, years of estrangement couldn't be undone with a single word.
"Hey, how about we take a little walk around?" Reinhardt left, leaving Yorichi standing there, trying to process what was happening.
"Should I follow him? What should I do? If I don't go, he'll punish me as usual."
Yorichi headed towards his father, Reinhardt, who was waiting for him at the exit of the training ground.
After passing A few seconds passed before Yoreichi stood before Reinhardt, his voice barely audible. "Where do you want us to go?"
Reinhardt looked around, trying to find a solution. He had to resolve a complex issue and repair a relationship in a very short time.
Moreover, their feelings were something impossible to fix or easily understand. He remained silent for several minutes before finally breaking the silence. "We'll just wander around. I don't have a specific place to go."
Yorichi looked at his father with a mixture of confusion and suspicion, then nodded in agreement.
"Okay, let's go."
Yoriichi and Reinhardt wandered around the city of Euspecers for several hours, but their relationship only slightly improved. Their partner remained silent.
Reinhardt didn't know what to say, and Yoreichi wasn't comfortable with the way things were changing.
Reinhardt sighed in frustration, but he didn't give up. After all, the very essence of the Demon World was at stake, and that was something that couldn't be ignored. His loss was due to his problem expressing his feelings.
"Listen to me, Yorichi. I know I was incredibly harsh with you over the years, but..."
"I'll be honest, I was arrogant and selfish, only concerned with my own interests. I'm not forcing you to forgive me, but I was a bad father who treated his son tyrannically."
"However, a blacksmith forges steel into a weapon; you can't get a weapon from kindness with metal."
"You became strong at such a young age, 15. You're a saint. I'm proud of you, Yorichi, even if I didn't reach your level when I was your age."
"Really?"
Reinhardt looked at Yorichi for a few seconds before speaking. "Of course not. I was stronger than that. Don't believe all the rumors about me. Hahahaha!"
A look of annoyance crossed Yorichi's face as he looked at Reinhardt. "Well, you'll definitely have a terrifying talent."
Yorichi stopped talking as he looked Reinhardt's hand rested on his shoulder. "Listen, son. Don't compare yourself to others. Do you understand? You're Yorichi, and I'm Reinhardt. Or better yet, you're still trash." His tone was laced with mockery and derision.
Yorichi's gaze was unreadable. He couldn't utter a word. It was something he hadn't expected to hear from the person who had been comparing him to others.
Reinhardt clenched his fist in resignation as he looked at his son, Yorichi, before speaking as calmly as possible. "Listen carefully. There's something you need to know. Okay, I know it sounds strange and hard to believe."
"You know about the deaths of your mother, Lucy Beatrice's mother, and Grey, don't you?"
Yorichi nodded in agreement, and Reinhardt continued, "Your mother, my brother's wife, and others died because they couldn't bear your power. After you were born, your powers were automatically sealed."
"And even I, when I tried to stop you when you were in a state of..." "I was in a frenzy back then. I would have died if it weren't for the seal. You are incredibly strong, beyond imagination."
"That's why I was always harsh with you, to bring out the best in you. I didn't hate you. I tried to make you the person I wasn't—a dependable family man and father. I'm truly sorry, Yorichi."
"I know you won't forgive me for being someone who doesn't deserve to be proud of his accomplishments." Reinhardt's voice was filled with sadness and regret, surprising Yorichi.
He turned to Reinhardt, whose gaze was unreadable, yet tinged with sorrow. "I forgive you, Father. Thank you for telling me the truth. I think I need to rest; I'm still mentally exhausted."
A warm smile spread across Reinhardt's face as he gently stroked Yorichi's hair. "Goodnight."
"And"You too."
Yurichi left immediately without saying anything more, leaving Reinhardt staring after him with a cold, emotionless gaze.
Another screen on the Marta system appeared before him.

[Loading reward... Please wait]
[Reward: Fantasy World Demon Essence]
Reinhardt looked at a black gem, the size of a baby's palm, with a smile. Satisfaction
Another system window appeared, making him curious.
[Do you want information about the essence of the Fantasy World Demon?] [Yes] or [No]
Reinhart clicked yes, smiling slightly. Information about the essence of the Fantasy World Demon was extremely superficial, even in the books by Zhao Li and Alessandra.
[Essence of the Fantasy World Demon]
[Information: The essence of the Fantasy World Demon is made from the annihilation of the Fantasy World. As the basic material, the Fantasy World undergoes several transformations to become the Fantasy World Demon, which consumes other Fantasy Worlds. However, if the essence of the Fantasy World Demon is refined before it transforms into the Fantasy World Demon, the refiner gains the power of all the entities that lived within it, from the first to the last.
Rank: Beyond-Existence
Rareness: One of the rarest treasures in the story "I'm Inside My Novel"]
A look of surprise crossed Reinhart's face as he looked at the rarity tag "One of the rarest treasures in the story 'I'm Inside My Novel'." It was something he didn't understand, but he realized one thing. This was a priceless treasure, and whoever possessed it was a force to be reckoned with.
Moreover, it made him suspect that something was happening behind the scenes, something he knew nothing about. Therefore, he decided to accuse the essence of the Fantasy World Demon. As an ORR-05-level entity and a Level 2 Wing Master, he was able to withstand the power emanating from the Fantasy World Demon Essence.
Reinhardt remained lost in thought for several hours, until 2:56, if that was accurate, when he opened his eyes, gazing at his body with a smile full of elation.
He spoke with overwhelming joy as he assessed his current strength. "I've reached the Trans-Omnipotent rank. However, I need a great deal of rest. I think five months will be enough, as my body hasn't yet adapted to this power."
"That's alright. Nothing in this world is free. Although I've gained terrifying power, I won't be able to use anything other than the power of an ORR-05-rank fighter during this time."
