Chapter 131 – The Journey Across Worlds Begins Again...?
The moment Akira's Inheritance Sync reached 100%, his template finally completed.
In an instant, a torrent of overwhelming magic erupted from his body—like a volcanic eruption shaking the very fabric of space.
The sheer intensity of his destructive aura sent tremors rippling through the dimension. Venelana, standing nearby, was stunned speechless by the storm of power swirling around him.
"…A Transcendent?"
Her voice trembled as she stared at Akira in disbelief, her eyes wide as saucers.
Wasn't this boy just at the Devil King (Maou) level moments ago?
How had he surpassed that boundary so suddenly?
Was this… a dream?
Venelana couldn't even form proper words. In this world, becoming a Transcendent wasn't just rare—it was nearly impossible.
That title was reserved for those who had shattered the limits of existence itself, turning the impossible into reality.
In the grand scale of power, a Maou-class being could already rule over nations.
But a Transcendent?
They were beyond rulers. They were anomalies—lifeforms who had outgrown the very definitions of their species.
For Devils, the Maou-class was considered the uppermost limit. To exceed that, one had to overturn their own existence from its very foundation.
And yet… Akira had done it.
And he wasn't even a Devil. He was a human.
Throughout history, only a handful of humans had ever crossed that boundary—and all of them were spoken of in legend.
But now, a fifteen-year-old human—who had only recently reached Maou-class—was standing before her, radiating power that dwarfed even the strongest elites.
Monster.
That was the only word that came to mind.
Caught in the eye of his own magical storm, even Akira could hardly believe what he was feeling. Was this... the true power of Enkidu?
Forged by the gods, the Chains of Heaven had always been a divine weapon created in perfection.
Unlike other beings who had to train and grow, Enkidu was born in a completed form—his original strength was already his peak.
And now, having fully inherited that template, Akira possessed it all.
Suddenly, the overflowing magic around him began tearing apart the dimensional arena Venelana had created, forcing them both to return to the real world—specifically, the backyard of the Gremory estate.
The detonation of magical energy that marked his breakthrough from Maou to Transcendent enveloped the entire Gremory mansion.
— — —
Elsewhere in the mansion...
"What in the world!?"
Grayfia, who had been handling some household affairs, froze as the oppressive force washed over her.
All the maids and guards throughout the estate collapsed to their knees, unable to stand against the suffocating pressure.
Back in the garden, Akira took a slow breath and began reeling in his aura, stabilizing the swirling chaos around him.
Silence returned, but Venelana remained frozen in place—still processing what had just happened.
Her future son-in-law had just… evolved into something beyond logic.
— — —
But it wasn't over yet.
As the power within Akira's body settled into a new equilibrium, his physical form began to change.
His long emerald hair began to shrink, shifting to a short, neatly layered black.
His vibrant green eyes darkened into a deep, intense black.
The soft, almost feminine beauty of his face sharpened into more distinctly masculine features—stronger jawline, more confident gaze.
His slender frame now looked more athletic, toned, and proportioned. The gentle, ethereal presence from before had been replaced by the aura of a true warrior.
This transformation marked the final adjustment—the complete fusion of Enkidu's template into his being. Akira had now fully returned to his true form.

[Ding!]
[Congratulations, Host. You have acquired the Skill: Limit Break]
— — —
[Limit Break]— Ultimate Skill
Burns the user's existence to temporarily surpass all known limits.
Side effect: 99% power reduction for 10 full days.
— — —
A top-tier skill born from 100% Inheritance Sync, Limit Break was a double-edged sword. While insanely powerful, the consequences were just as extreme—leaving the user almost powerless for ten days afterward.
Still… Akira couldn't help but remember one of the most iconic moments from Absolute Demonic Beast Front: Babylonia—when Enkidu bound Gugalanna, the Bull of Heaven, using a True Name Release.
Was this skill inspired by that event?
He didn't know. But having a trump card like this for emergencies was undoubtedly a huge advantage.

[Ding!]
[Congratulations, Host. First template Inheritance has been completed successfully. Would you like to activate the second template now?]
— — —
Akira blinked.
Wait, that's it? Already...?
He had assumed there would be some ridiculous challenge or condition before he could move on to the next template.
But the system just… offered it.
"...If I activate the second template, will my current power be reset?" he asked cautiously, recalling earlier system prompts.
[Ding!]
[Correct. Upon activating the second template, all powers will be sealed. However, the host can unseal them at any time. Note: Progress on the second template will be halted while the seal is lifted.]
"So… I can choose when to access my old powers, but they won't contribute to the next template's inheritance?"
[Correct.]
Akira fell silent for a moment.
"Will activating the second template move me to another world?"
[Ding!]
[Yes. Each world supports only one template. To begin the next inheritance, you must enter a new trial world.]
"So… in order to start the next template… I'll have to leave this world behind?"
[Correct.]
— — —
That gave Akira pause.
He'd come a long way here—built his strength, his identity, and his bonds.
He had formed connections with the Gremory family, earned their trust, and stood at the pinnacle of Maou-class power.
And now… he'd have to leave it all behind?
It wasn't the strength or reputation he was worried about.
It was the people.
He had a girlfriend.
A fiancée.
And a few other girls who—if he were being honest—he was this close to winning over.
Could he really leave them behind?
Yet, the second template... was not something he could ignore either. A new path. A new power.
"…System. If I travel to the next world, will I be able to return here?"
The system replied in its usual flat, mechanical tone:
[Ding!]
[Yes.]
That one word erased all his hesitation.
If I can come back… then it's fine.
"One more thing… If I travel between worlds, will time flow the same?"
[Ding!]
[No. In all worlds other than the one the host currently inhabits, time will flow at a 1:100 ratio.]
One to one hundred.
That meant if Akira spent a hundred days in the new world… only one day would pass here.
Then there was no issue.
Even if he stayed in that world for years to finish the next template, only weeks—or days—would pass in this one.
In other words… he could return without losing anything.
Akira closed his eyes.
He gathered his thoughts, sorted his emotions, and took one long breath.
His path forward was clear now.
He was ready.
The journey between worlds… would begin again.
