Supreme Couple In Apocalypse: Undead King & Demonic Queen

"Let's hear it," Erix said with a grin. "It's not new for us to break unspoken rules."

"Haha, it's nothing much. My proposal is that instead of staying here for two days to farm for maximum benefits, how about we just extract the core and complete the mission?"

Hallar's eyes glinted, "Usually, we could make formations around here to prevent people from discovering this, and if they come, we can kill them. However, we've already gained pretty good resources, so let's spend today's day gathering resources, and then extract core after fifteen hours."

"Everyone will be forced to return once we extract the core since the planet will be destroyed after that."

"We don't mind that," Rin said with a chuckle.

"Yep," Erix nodded before he laughed and added, "You can even extract the core now, and we can return."

"We won't find loot as good as we got from that Golem anymore, but let's still spend 15 hours for resources," Shifa said thoughtfully as she crossed her arms before adding.

"Millia, Dinda, Erix, and Rin can go gather resources while the six of us will stay and secure this core here."

Hearing Shifa, Hallar and others nodded.

"Alright, then let's go," Erix got up and stretched his arms. "We've recovered to full, so we can't sit still anymore. I am raring to fight more and gather resources."

Erix gave his hand to Rin as she also got up and smiled at the group, "We'll be going ahead."

Erix waved his hand to create a big wormhole portal in the cave. "I'll connect this portal to the surface, so you can instantly reach the surface."

Everyone's eyes shone.

"That's wonderful!"

"Hahaha, so we also got a quick escape route."

"Let's fucking go!"

Hallar nodded smilingly and said, "Alright, go and farm resources for us. This time, we'll take a cut from you."

…

The following fifteen hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Rin and Erix encountered more powerful people as well, but they were not helpless against them.

No one could stop them from escaping, so their lives were not in threat as long as they remained cautious, which they remained fully throughout their adventure and hunting for resources.

After four of them returned successfully on time, Hallar took out the device given with the Emergency Mission's acceptance.

Since he was the leader, only he got it and he used it to begin extracting the planet's core…into a palm-sized crystal-metallic sphere.

He went into that mysterious space bent and created by the core's activity and used the extracting sphere, targetting the core, and it began the process.

Afterward, Erix brought him back to the cave easily with teleport where Hallar activated another device that came with the mission.

It was the same item that opened the portal to this planet.

"Alright, done," Hallar said as he dusted his hands with a big smile. "Let's distribute the resources while the core is being extracted. If people are near, then this activity might attract some attention, so let's finish it fast."

As usual, Erix scanned all the Metals and only kept the items he couldn't create, which were all made of crystals hybrid materials.

This planet had nothing else of value except for those since the general destruction had destroyed the ecology, allowing only the primary resources produced by the planet to remain intact.

After distribution was completed, everyone stayed on high alert and waited for an hour.

"Move," Hallar said, a hint of excitement in his voice. "It's done!"

The core was completely extracted, causing the core support of the planet to break down.

Everyone already stood near the portal leading to the Hell's Garden, and the moment Hallar grabbed the extraction sphere, everyone entered inside and successfully returned from the emergency mission.

The members of other cosmic factions on that planet suddenly felt waves of earthquakes and natural disasters sprouting up all over, knocking the socks out of them as they were flabbergasted.

The atmosphere turned disastrous.

They knew what this destruction entailed! Someone fucking extracted the core already even though were two more days left before the planet's true destruction!

Tons of resources were still yet to get extracted! Stay informed at m-vl-em,pyr

There were also some teams who didn't bother finding the core and only wanted to collect resources, but breaking the unspoken rule, Hallar doused their plans.

Everyone had no choice but to quickly leave the planet unless they wanted to be suspended in space and die.

The space was dangerous and ominous. People couldn't travel in outer space without support.

The space beasts and other phenomena in outer space required power and a higher lifeform rank—Reverend-order— if one wanted to travel and survive.

…

[Emergency Mission completed]

At the desk in the Unbound Star cosmic faction's hub, Erix, Rin, and the whole group stood before the desk.

Hallar submitted the core and completed the mission as everyone's wrist mark lit up.

Everyone got faction credit as well, which was based on the mission's type. Since this was an Emergency Mission of C-rank, everyone got 5000 faction credits on top of the mission rewards.

Hallar patted Erix's shoulder and grinned, "Add us as friends in your Faction Profile. We'll send you a message when we have a next good mission for you two. You can't accept a higher-ranked mission, but we can invite you, just like in this mission."

"That's right," Millia smiled. "You two are still at Newbie member rank, but with this 5000 Faction Credits, you only need 5000 more to upgrade your member rank and unlock access to the faction's facilities."

Rin and Erix nodded as they looked at the hologram from the magical wrist mark of their cosmic faction.

[Erix]

_Faction Credits: 5100

_Member Rank: Newbie.

—> Newbie: Access to D-rank field missions.

_Leaderboard(s) rank: Royal-order.

—> Faction rank: 3rd

—> Cosmos rank: 4728th

"Wait, what's this?" Erix raised his eyebrows as he looked at the Leaderboard rank. "We have rankings in Leaderboards. Faction rank 3rd?"

"Eh, mine is 4th and 7488th Cosmos rank," Rin said in surprise.

"Yea. Since you just completed your first activity in the cosmos and displayed your powers, you got rank based on that," Leirat said with a nod with a grin. "Not a bad rank, but you can go higher."

"By the way, Cosmos rank doesn't show your rank among all Royal-order powerhouses in existence in this cosmos," Dinda said with a cheeky smile. "It's your rank only among Royal-order powerhouses of the one-hundred cosmic faction."

"There are other forces aside from Cosmic Faction. Galactic kingdoms, empires, big organizations…It's a big stage, and there are definitely crazy people out there, from various races."

However, Rin and Erix only felt a thrill as their faces clearly showed it.

"All of them will know us," Erix clenched his fist as his eyes wreathed in ambition and desire as he looked at Rin and grinned, who also had the same expression as his.

"Everyone in the cosmos will know us and witness the grandest rise," Erix's palm locked Rin's as they gripped tightly, indicating the resolve and daunting will that rippled out of them.

Hallar and others were influenced, causing them to feel moved in their hearts. All of them also had their own ambitions and desires, but Erix and Rin had one simple and very straightforward, but utterly ridiculous.

Other people may say that in high spirits, jokingly, and ignorantly, but it didn't feel like that with this duo.

Hallar, Shifa, and others felt utterly committed and serious when they heard Erix's words and the duo's aura that supported their intent.

The hunger that burst forth from them was not something they'd ever seen when someone made a similar statement.

"Hahahaha! Alright, we shall witness your rise first," Meiker burst out laughing while feeling goosebumps.

Everyone else also felt on a similar wavelength.

After talking a bit more with the group about some general information about the faction, the duo returned.

Arriving back in the tower from the cosmic faction's door, Erix and Rin went back to their Sakura palace in the Blessed Island.

It was built based on the structure model they got from Structure-type dungeons in Guild.

They didn't contact Aria, Isabella, and others but directly went to their bedroom.

They've had an intense day that also mentally drained them.

After having a passionate battle for an hour, the duo went into a slumber like logs.

…

After sleeping for twelve hours, the duo woke up at night, with Aria snuggling Erix from behind and also sleeping as she was tired of constantly fighting in dungeons for the past day.

She got too excited seeing various structures and dungeons, while also showing other guild members of her powers.

She also joined random parties and had lots of fun that she had never experienced before in her previous trapped life in the palace.

Erix and Rin woke, but seeing the cute smiling sleeping face of Aria, the duo couldn't help but chuckle.

"It looks like she had a lot of fun on her 2nd day here," Rin smiled and gently poked the soft cheeks of Aria.

Erix lightly laughed and kissed her gently.

Rin and Erix left Aria sleeping peacefully on the bed and had a shower before leaving.

Since it was night, many people were sleeping while many were doing night dungeons and other stuff.

Erix and Rin first went to their Limitless Plane session.

They felt as if they might progress significantly in regards to the Chaos concept in this session, so the duo went full throttle to comprehend and produce insights for it.

Erix's chaos concept manifested in chaotic swirls around him, while Rin's chaos concept manifested in streaming chaotic flows around her.

In their pursuit of forging the next path of their different Chaos, the duo began in full focus and confidence that they would forge it in this session.
