I arose, clenching my fist, shattering the shard of Eldritch into dust, allowing its knowledge to invade my mind. And like a wild rush, understanding spilled through my soul, allowing me to grasp the terror of the library.

It was unknown who created the Libary of Silence, but its power was absolute. It was capable of crippling a Hell Monarch. For such a thing to be possible was, without a doubt, terrifying. Within the Libary, one was expected to follow the path of Silence. Be it mind or body. One needs to be at peace.

Something… I was not. Personally, I thrive on Chaos. That harmony of mind and body bullshit wasn’t for me. It’s boring. Who doesn’t want to fuck bitches on the battlefield, to do whatever you want when you want. Chaos is the truest sense of freedom.

“My Lord.” Killian began.

“Yeah. Yeah. Anyway. Call Ezra forth and ready a couple of legions. We are going to destroy the Library of Silence.”

“The One-Eye Owl will not be please.”

“Who?” My eyes narrowed as not even all of the Eldritch slabs I absorbed had any clues on this Owl.

Killian gave me a grim eye.” He is the ruler of the Dead Sea, where the Libary of Silence is located and is possibly one of the founders of the Libary of Silence. And I’m sure you know that currently, Tamiel is acting as curator.”

If I recall correctly, the Dead Sea was a domain of Dead Laws. It was a zone that prohibited all forms of Magic, Qi, and Cultivation. It was a dead zone that not even time could exist. A domain of nothingness. But it was also home to many top-tier Paragons.

But…

“The One Eye Owl is one of Chaos’s many Children: One can say he is a monster that existed besides the birth of the First Devil and Demons. Not to mention, he’s part of the Omnis Ranking.”

A/N: Omnis means Everyone and Everything,

“… You’re making shit up.”

Killian narrowed his eyes.” Please stop insulting me, My Lord. The Omnis Ranking comes directly from the Council of Omnis. And on it holds your brother and many of the Hell Monarchs alongside the Archangels.”

My heart quivered: “And the Abyssals?”

“Need you ask? They were added a few cycles ago with the death of the Mother of Demons. Their very existence threatens the Council even now.”

Hehe. And I’m married to the best one… the craziest one too.

Killian shook his head as I spoke out: “Are Enoch and Tamiel on said ranking?”

“No. To be on that list, one needs power beyond imagination. For example… your brother. The Lord of Absolution, Zariel Snow. He ranks Sixteenth and is said to be able to challenge the Top Ten. Although he would surely lose, he would forever cripple his opponent. ”

“Get me that list,” I told him, nearly grinning as a new goal awakened within me. It was a little strange. I was never really a competitive person in this life, that is. But merely hearing about this ranking that holds some of the greatest monsters really makes me excited.

Killian grinned. “As you say, my Lord. But as I was saying, the Owl’s rank is thirty. A force not to be—”

“Fuck his ranking. I’m Arsene Snow, bitch! I fucks with everyone.” Shrugging my shoulders with arrogance, if not pride in my eyes, I Shadow Stepped into the abyss to where my kids resided. And as if sensing my presence, they popped off their mother’s tit with stars in their eyes.

“Those jugs are mine, you little bastards.” I angrily said, glaring at the twins, who merely giggled, reaching up for me. Lilith grinned and handed me off to the kids. who squeezed and prodded at my face with childlike innocence.

Unable to help myself from nibbling on their chubby cheeks for a bit, I heard Lilith’s words: ‘ You got that look in your eye. Your about to do something incredibly stupid, aren’t you.”

“You mean genius.” I corrected as the chibi cooed away. Talking to me as if they could speak my language, but all that echoed was gibberish. “That said, lend me… Vita for a bit.”

” You have the Order of Chaos. Why are you asking me?”

My eyes just lit up at that… FOOOL!!!! YOU’VE FALLEN FOR MY TRAP CARD!!!

“Bet. I’ve not fucked with Vancurro since I fully awakened my memories. Shit, I haven’t even seen the boys in a while. It’s about time we get the boys back together.” I handed the kids back to Lilith, enjoying the look in her eye.

I’m sure Lilith heard how much of a manwhore me and Vancurro was. That bastard was the only one to make me feel I had to compete. My god, we each had an entire world of just bitches. It was a harem of paradise. I still can’t figure out how none of them got pregnant.

Kissing my darling wife over her pale cheeks, I readied myself to Shadow Step when an arm pressed against my shoulder.

” I’ll go, my lady.” Said Vita calmly, yet her chilling eyes betrayed her tone.

Arsene for the win.

“Vita…” Whispered Lilith.

“If it isn’t my Vita. How kind of you.” I mused, dipping under her arm to escape her hold, somewhat uncomfortable beneath her palm that could turn me into a paste in a blink of an eye. “You seem even prettier. Has caring for the little ones awakened your Motherly instincts?”

I was talking out of my ass. But Vita did look alive. More so than usual. It was as if she had a new goal in life, a new… dream.

The Abyssal snorted: ” When are we leaving.”

Grinning, I glanced at Lilith: ” You want to come? I could actually use you.” I told her, somewhat hesitant to say anything with Vita present. “I know we should be going to Eden right now… but I have this distinctive feeling that I’ve touched onto something that’ll change everything.”

“The Path… You… You completed it.”

I shook my head.” That’s just it… It doesn’t need to be completed. It’s a journey. Paragon is the peak of all things. But my path… the path Zariel skipped with his great intelligence is one that will change you forever.” 𝑜𝘷𝑙.𝘰𝑟𝑔

I could see why Zariel thought the Path of Archeon was separate from Paragon, but he was very much wrong. It’s a path that is necessary. Paragon amplifies body and mind. And with each level of Paragon, one passes, they’ll grow stronger, but that’s wrong. Paragon isn’t meant to grow. It’s meant to exist at the peak. Archeon is different. It’s the path that cultivates the power of GOD within everyone.
