As the fight between the worlds occurred, Axel observed each of the events that happened inside Emma's world.

Even though he was surprised by her world and couldn't help but wonder how the hell a kid could have created something like that, he was confident that he had options for victory at first.

His confidence only grew as he saw how his troops easily slaughtered anything that crossed their path. For a few minutes, he began to dream about how he would be able to participate in any rift that he wanted thanks to Mark's promise. But, sadly, they remained as they were, just dreams.

As soon as the three pentagrams were destroyed and the mist began to disappear, he felt that something was wrong, a feeling that was confirmed when he saw the abomination that stood floating above Emma's world. As soon as he saw it, he remembered his friend's words: beware of the eyes.

"Why the hell didn't I tell my cultivators anything about that even though I had information? I'm stupid? " Axel thought to himself as he saw how his cultivators began to fall.

Soon after, his remaining cultivators returned to his world, and with them, Emma's counterattack. He ordered Heaven to try to take down with lightning bolts the monsters that Emma had sent, but they weren't able to take down all of them, resulting in his defeat in the battle and the loss of all the energy that he managed to accumulate from the creation of the energy add-on. Even though it wasn't much, it still hurt.

But things didn't end there.

"Master, there is some kind of energy corrupting the creatures around the area where we killed the intruders. As far as I can understand, it can become a great danger to humanity, with the possibility of even reaching extinction. " Heaven mentally explained it to Axel.

"Send a message to every inhabitant in the world. Let them know about the existence of the new continent and tell them to move there so they can escape the corruption. With a little bit of luck, we may be able to save most of them." Axel replied.

After that, Axel stayed to watch his world for a while. He wanted to make sure that everything went well, but just after Heaven warned the cultivators, and when he was about to leave, he saw how Raziel crossed the tunnel that connected both worlds.

"Oh, shit. Don't tell me that she has become insane like her father. Heaven, prepare a few lightning bolts. We may need to carbonize her before she does anything dangerous. " Axel quickly ordered Heaven.

"As you order, Master. But I don't feel the same kind of corruption inside her as the one from those monsters. It seems like she had partially processed her father's corruption and managed to seal it using her tattoos, with which she managed to greatly reduce the possible damage. Even though it doesn't look like a perfect version, it may lead to the development of a much more effective way to use that corruption and resist it safely. But if you still wish that I kill her, I have already generated the clouds to do so." Heaven said

"What? Really? Then let her be. By the way, what the hell are those tattoos, and why are they so amazing? I saw that some people in the Guburg Village had tattoos, but I had never seen them use them to gain powerups. "

"It seems like the Guburg cultivators have been using the blood of various beasts to cultivate since they discovered cultivation. At first, it was because of how rich it was in energy, but little by little, they began to acquire some of the characteristics of those beasts over their bodies. Over time, they discovered a new way to achieve similar results in a much more efficient manner, which eventually became tattoos." Heaven explained.

"Oh, so it is something like bloodlines?" Axel asked.

"Not right now, but it may lead to them in the future. For now, it only makes them capable of coping with the skills or characteristics of the beasts from which their tattoos come. "

"I see. It is pretty interesting, so maybe we should work to help them improve it in some way or another. " Axel said before staying quiet for a few seconds." Well, I'm leaving already. If anything important happens, pause the world and let me know immediately. "

"As you wish, Master," Heaven replied.

After that, Axel broke his concentration and returned to the comic store.

Meanwhile, at the core of his world, something was changing. To be more precise, there were two changes.

One of them was that the cultivation add-on, which was already partially split in two, began to separate its parts even more while new lines appeared in both of them. As more time passed, it became more clear that in the future, the rune would become two different ones.

The other change in Axel's core was much more insignificant, but much more important at the same time. While a new line appeared in the middle of the energy add-on, which connected perfectly with the other ones, becoming one of the centerpieces of the rune, another line, this time black, appeared on one of the corners of the rune, connecting only with the body of it with a single line.
