The Empyreal Gem Master

A Minor Covenant Star!

It was the accumulation of power for all the years a Stellar Ruler had been active!

It could be used to expand the Breadth of a Star as eventually, one could give birth to multiple Stars. To a Stellar Nebula.

Alexander read through the details of such a dazzling item as while holding on to such a star, he decisively brought it close to his chest as it sunk in hungrily as if a terrifying beast of greed lay within.

||A Minor Covenant Star is being absorbed and used as fuel to elevate the Breadth of the Massive Covenant Star.||

||A new feature of the Enneagram conducive to the growth of the Origin Core is being born due to the rise of the Massive Covenant Star.||

||The Core Feature of the Peacemaker has been unlocked and elevated to the Elder level. Under its brilliance, it is deemed that only through extreme and undeniable strength can there be guaranteed peace. Such a type of strength depends on the rate at which you elevate yourself, whether it be through the understanding and assimilation of Covenants or when it comes to elevating the breadth of your Origin, Body, and Soul. The Peacemaker has deemed it so that your rate of elevation for all aspects of your being is increased by 10,000%…||

…!

Alexander was silent as he received this feedback.

He gazed out into the blank space all around him as he was contemplative.

The Enneagram…continued to be profoundly ridiculous.

Why was this the Gem Socket that he awakened? And what other ridiculous surprises did it hold?

He didn't have the answers, so for now…he would enjoy the ridiculous boons it granted!

And the most recent one was the increased rate of progression when he elevated the breadth of his being.

His Massive Covenant Star seemed interlinked with the Enneagram and vice versa, while this was the center of his Origin.

Contained within his body, and his Soul was spread throughout the body and origin as everything was connected!

So long as he continued to elevate his Massive Covenant Star, his aspects of the body, origin, and soul would scale upwards.

And now, this rate of progression has increased by 10,000%.

HUUM!

A droning humming sound boomed out within his chest as the star inside of it spun heavily, the Minor Covenant Star that came from Bartholomew rapidly being devoured and turned into nothingness while his own multicolored star increased in size and pressure!

As this process unfolded…

||The Boons of the Challenger have been automatically obtained and stored. Shall they also be used for the elevation of the Massive Covenant Star?||

The Enneagram released a low hum as it asked.

The Core Feature of the Challenger!

It stated that so long as enemies were taken below 20% of their life force, they would be stripped of their very own being and turned into Ascendant Nine Star Gem Panaceas!

||18 Ascendant Nine Star Gem Panaceas have been obtained through the Challenger so far.||

Alexander didn't have to think too much regarding this as he gave the affirmation right after, and the star on his chest continued to spin and get larger as it seemed like a Super Massive Star may be born soon enough.

Alexander monitored this for a few seconds longer before he turned towards the shocked visage of the Dark Ruler Masako and the allure of Ephesus lying behind her.

Her gaze was currently difficult as she looked at him with hesitation.

"What has just occurred will likely have long-term consequences. I…am personally not sure how everything will unfold, but I can assure you that the Dark Rule will not turn its back on you."

…!

Consequences.

Alexander knew very well as with the assimilated Covenant of Destiny, possible favorable and unfavorable paths continued to show themselves before him.

Many favorable paths lay ahead after he did what he did today.

He nodded towards Masako as he turned to look at the solidified gold vessels and shells of rulers who had their very being stripped away as he thought about what would come next.

Everybody had stated it clearly.

A War!

He would be embroiled in a war as in such a path, there would be many possibilities of advancement if he defeated the enemies that stood against him.

A War also meant that Ephesus could continue to be targeted.

But so long as he was here…

He turned to look at the dazzling Realm in the distance as he thought about many things.

Within the depths of Ephesus, his other Enneagram Clone that stood in front of the Core of Ephesus.

The Wills of this Realm were looking at him with unique expressions as from this moment on, the dynamic between them had changed!

The Will of Ephesus had a difficult expression as this Realm was saved from destruction, and yet the joy felt stifled as at this moment- Alexander held an unfathomably high ground when it came to everything.

The Will of Ephesus looked at the Core of this Realm and its brilliance, and he then turned to see the budding Star on the chest of Alexander as he sighed.

All the things done by Ephesus up to this point, was it all truly the wrong route to take?

The Will of Ephesus could not say for sure as at this time, Alexander rose up and asked while looking towards the dazzling core of Ephesus.

"Are you able to continue doing what you did with Alfana and Dragoisles?"

A simple question.

One that the Wills of the Realm nodded to after looking at each other as a moment later, Alexander continued.

"Focus on that and nothing else. If Gem Masters can continue growing their Stars, we can see to what limit Ephesus will continue to grow- to the point that even my protection will not be needed."

…!

He began to think ahead.

Of what was to come!

"A War is coming. As of this moment, the Dark Rule and the Star Alliance will be embroiled in it. And Ephesus lies at its very center."

It felt foreign to even say these words, but it was exactly what would happen!

"I will continue protecting Ephesus without fail. I need you…to continue providing me with Sacred Gem Engines."

…!

A source of free Covenants of Nature.

It was another pathway he needed to take to increase his power to become a terrifying Gem Master!

At this moment, the advancement to become a Stellar Ruler fully unfolded as unequivocally, he became the strongest being on the Realm of Ephesus.

And…it had only been a few days since he awakened!
