Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

Corey remembered vividly how stunned and baffled he was when he heard those words from Nina.

Why was a Supreme in the Shattered Dimension?

Why was a Supreme sealed in the Shattered Dimension?

Why was a black pot a key artefact in the sealing of a Supreme?

And most importantly, why did Nina not tell him about the presence of the Supreme ever since he appeared in the Shattered Dimension?

Corey made sure to ask all these questions, especially the last question.

Nina told him that she had no idea why a Supreme was in the Shattered Dimension, but from her current observations and calculations, the main body of the Supreme was sealed underneath Gravenstone City.

Gravenstone City was the first city he entered in the Shattered Dimension, and he remembered Pamela telling him about the history of Gravenstone.

"A long time ago, Gravenstone City was a fortress founded by a legendary order known as The Chainbearers. They were a group of seven Ascendants, and they were devoted to sealing an ancient entity known as the Starfallen."

"It was said that the Starfallen was a being from outside the Shattered DImension who had been summoned during a cataclysmic ritual that destroyed the original fortress and a fourth of the Shattered DImension."

Corey could recall Pamela's exact words easily, and Nina told him that if she was right, the Starfallen was actually a Supreme, and the Supreme was sealed beneath Gravenstone City.

Corey asked her what the probability of her being right was, and Nina's exact answer was, "99.9999%"

Recalling Nina's answer made Corey want to curse her out loud in frustration, but knowing that it would serve no purpose, he calmed himself down and continued placing the books on the shelves.

According to Nina, the Earth Infinity Crystal, the Water Infinity Crystal, the Lightning Infinity Crystal, and the last elemental Infinity Crystal, the Fire Infinity Crystal that was located in the Shattered Dimension belonged to the sealed Supreme.

Also, the eyes, hands, and several body parts of the Supreme were sealed in different locations around the Shattered Dimension.

Corey had no idea in the past, but the Mountain of Metals and the Ancient Black Pot were used to seal some of the body parts of the Supreme, and his act of taking the Mountain of Metals and the Ancient Black Pot had weakened the seal on the Supreme at several places, especially at Gravenstone City.

When Pamela was telling him about the history of Gravenstone City, she mentioned that there have been tremors that shook the cliff the city was built on. This was a sign of the weakened seal on the Supreme, and during his time in the City of Drennath, he realized that the reason why there were tremors in Gravenstone City was because he had taken the Mountain of Metals.

It was surprising to Corey that his act of seizing the entire Mountain of Metals and the Ancient Black Pot for himself was most likely going to lead to a disaster in the Shattered Dimension.

Most would have felt bad or guilty if they were in Corey's shoes, however, Corey felt absolutely no remorse for what he did. The only thing he was worried about was his safety.

He was certain if the Supreme regained its freedom, it would notice his aura of a Paragon, and despite the grievances it might have towards the Tainteds who sealed it or the Tainteds of the Shattered Dimension, it would undoubtedly choose to approach him first.

Despite his prowess and abilities, Corey knew that if the Supreme regained its freedom while he was still in the Shattered Dimension, the first thing he would do was to kill himself so as to escape the Shattered Dimension.

He would rather kill himself and appear back in the Underworld, than face a Supreme who would definitely sense the Infinity Crystals in him, take it, then kill him.

Although a part of him knew that his actions would most likely put the Shattered Dimension in danger, he had his priorities. If he went back in time with the knowledge he had, he would still do the same thing, though he might try to change a few things.

After knowing that there was a Supreme in the Shattered Sea, he heard about the changes to the Shattered Sea, and he could not help but wonder if there were any changes to the Morphing Expanse or the Raging Sky because of the disappearance of the Infinity Crystals.

He decided to join one of the exploration teams in the disguise of a middle-aged adventurer with a greatsword on his back. Knowing that the current Vaerina would most likely be able to recognize him despite the disguise and illusion he placed on himself, he chose to stay at the rear of one of the weakest exploration teams.

Unlike the other Tainteds, Ascendants, and Tier 5s who noticed nothing amiss when they were in the Shattered Sea, he could see the true reality of the Shattered Sea. His heart was shaken but he said nothing and continued moving with the exploration team.

Just like he expected, there was an ambush, and the battle that ensued was gruesome, horrifying, and completely out of his expectations.

He made sure not to expose even a single bit of his prowess, and he killed only the weak abominations. However, he made sure to still keep an eye on the fight between the Ascendants, Dreadkeepers, Tier 5 Outsiders, Vaerina, and the Principalities.

When he saw an opportunity, he took it, and unknown to no one, he was the culprit behind the disappearance of the corpses of the Frost Warden and the Abyssal Leviathan.

From the moment he entered the Shattered Dimension, he had been able to obtain the corpses of the Temple Guardian, the Capra King, Aethara, the Frost Warden, the Abyssal Leviathan, and the corpses of the hundreds of weaker abominations he killed in the Shattered Sea.

So many corpses were in the storage space of his Tri-Pupil Eyes, and with these corpses were the four Nightmare Fingers he had been able to obtain in the Shattered Dimension.

'If I'm able to fuse with the fuse Nightmare Fingers, I'll have five Nightmare Fingers on my right hand… I wonder what would happen or what abilities I'll get if all the fingers on my right hand become Nightmare Fingers.'

Corey looked around, and when he saw that all the books had been placed on the shelves, he walked out of the library and decided to head back to the inn he had booked with his Master and Melissa.

Just as he was about to approach the inn, he felt an extremely slight disturbance in space, and then he heard the sound of a bell chime.
