Chapter 189: Emperor Of Skadi Empire
As the days stretched on, a strange ripple began to echo across the cosmos.
Powerful seers and long-hidden diviners—beings who hadn’t opened their eyes in centuries—suddenly awoke in alarm. Monks in celestial monasteries broke their meditation, their chants faltering as a blinding vision overtook them. Forbidden tomes in arcane towers flipped open of their own accord, pages whispering prophecies not seen since the Old Cycle.
A great ascension just occurred.
But the identity of the one ascending was veiled. No matter how deeply they peered into fate or forced open the seams of time, his name remained cloaked in shadow.
"Impossible..." muttered a cloaked oracle from the Moon Citadel, his voice trembling. "This... presence—it’s beyond Ascendants. Yet, the stars do not reveal him."
"Because he walks outside the Wheel," a divine priestess whispered, her golden pupils trembling. "He... defies causality itself."
A few grew fearful. Others grew eager.
And a few, the ones who truly understood the signs, began to move.

On the tenth day after his near-complete breakthrough, Igaris stepped out of the chamber, his body radiating quiet might. His aura was still sealed—he had no need to flaunt it—but even the air around him felt heavier. More reverent.
Not long after, he sensed five mysterious Aircraft landed in the ancient wilderness beyond Earth’s reborn capital. They came without banners, without noise. No one but Igaris knew of their presence.
"So they have come.." he muttered with faint smile.
