Re-Awakening: I Ascend with a Legendary class

Chapter 494: Ultimate Breakout (9), Saving the Origins

”First, we’ll go for Oblivion, the Maw of Forgetting.” Levi’s eight eyes from her hazy visage locked on Almond. ”We have to attack all five places where they are sealed at once. That way, Grimworld Tree will have to send forces to all places. We will have one team stronger, which will change depending on the Origin we are saving.”

Almond smiled. ”I’ll head there with a team.”

”I’ll make a big enough distraction that Grimworld Tree will think that’s the main force,” Lily said.

”I’ll head the third team to do the same.” Admiral Rudra nodded before he turned to the others. ”The other two teams will be led by Arjun and Silvester. You both know what to play. Arjun, you will pick those that are suitable for your offensive style. Silvester, you will prioritize Off-defense. None of us must die.”

After Almond and Lily, Admiral Rudra, Arjun, Silvester, and Julian were the most powerful because of their higher starting point, as only they had XXX-rank in the evaluation.

Viktor, Hiroshi, Liang, Zauna, and Bianca were XX-rank.

James and Aarav were X-rank.

So, as the most powerful, who could go toe to toe with peak 4-star monsters, the combat formations would revolve around them.

Because enemies were too strong. Grimworld Tree had hundreds of peak 4-star monsters that it created by expending its vital energy. Since there was no future for this Project: Grimworld, it didn’t need to save its vast energy.

It had almost completely devoured an entire cosmoverse with thousands of cosmoses for years and became one with it. It had a vast amount of energy.

But it still could only conjure a total of 894 4-star beings, which indicates the qualitative power difference between Grimverse and a random cosmoverse.

And Regalons were still Regalons.

Their Geneline’s impact on their newly defined power was low, but it was still strong enough to make them leap power-levels when unleashing their superior quality moves.

”But our first assault will be a surprise, so we’ll go all out. Everyone will strike together to free the Maw of Forgotten. This will give Almond a significant boost in power...if he can make the Maw of Forgotten accept him as his master.”

”Master?” Almond raised his eyebrows. ”I take it that I’ll get some kind of power-up if I can do that?”

”Yep. Doing that will have two impacts. First, you’ll naturally attain a power as a Grimverse’s resident. And Oblivion is a type of being that can be recognized as a power seed in the Grimverse. Every cosmoverse’s origin beings are power seeds.”

”Usually, it’s hard to get the origin beings because they usually escape with Grimverse’s aid to become a part of Grimverse. But this cosmoverse, being tier-5, was easy to dominate by a powerful Grimverse’s resident or should I say, a Grand Duke, which is just two positions below Grimlord.”

”Though I think this guy recently made a breakthrough into Emperor, so he is one position below Grimlord now, same as my master, John Wicked. But of course, my master is stronger.”

”Now, let’s get started.”

The void between shattered worlds burned with silent light.

Almond’s team dropped first, tearing through a rift that hissed with silver arcs of annihilation. The ground below wasn’t ground—it was the back of something titanic, a living expanse of armored scales stretching beyond the horizon. Every scale was a battlefield.

The moment their boots touched down, the air turned into razors. A dozen colossal wolves, their fur made of vibrating shards of frozen time, leapt forward. The first impact shook the scale they stood on, sending shockwaves down into the sleeping behemoth beneath.

Almond’s dual blades moved once. Not a slash—just an opening gesture. The space in front of him folded like paper, and a ripple of thin black lines carved through the pack. Bodies fell apart before the blood could exist.

Behind him, Viktor’s fists struck the empty air. That emptiness cracked, then shattered, sending fragments of null-void spinning outward. Every fragment passed through flesh and bone like they were thoughts instead of matter, freezing everything into absolute frost.

From the far right, Zauna spun into the air, twisting with a flicker of golden-red. Her movement dragged the wind into chains—solid, roaring, living chains—that lashed around three monsters and ripped them into the sky before exploding in blinding brilliance.

Liang landed on one knee, touching the scale beneath. In an instant, the living armor of the titan shuddered and shifted, bending upward into spires of jagged earth that impaled a dozen charging beasts in one breath. Each spike throbbed with searing heat, turning the bodies to molten ash.

And still, more came.

One beast, vast enough to eclipse the stars above, slammed down its paw—a claw like an obsidian mountain.

Hiroshi stepped forward, drawing his katana. The paw froze mid-fall. No light, no sound—just a sudden stop, as if reality had decided to reconsider. Then, with the sound of the sky tearing, the frozen limb disintegrated into an expanding ring of black snow, each flake slicing through other creatures that had dared to come too close.

Bianca was not visible as she had disappeared into a unique space encompassing her that made her invisible to all senses and planes.

As she travelled from one spot to another, shooting down monsters with her exotic rifles, bodies fell apart and simply dissolved—skin, muscle, and soul—falling away in silence, their remains folding into nothing as if they had never been there.

Overhead, Lily’s distraction force clashed with a formation of thirty peak 4-stars. The sky was a kaleidoscope of collapsing suns and unraveling constellations, a duel fought not just in space but in the laws that held space together. Her every strike pulled the enemy into brighter, louder destruction, forcing Grimworld Tree to pour resources into keeping the battlefield intact.𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Below, Admiral Rudra’s advance was like a hurricane turned into a man. Every sweep of his fist carved valleys into the titan’s scales, valleys that ran with molten light and swallowed hundreds of enemies whole.

Grimworld Tree could use its energy to create monsters below 4-star, so they were pouring out.

Arjun’s team flanked left, their combined pressure warping the horizon. The monsters there were pinned under invisible weight, crushed before they could even roar. Silvester’s squad moved in perfect unison, their defenses forming shifting walls that rebounded enemy strikes into the pack, turning their own ferocity against them.

The titan beneath them stirred. The whole battlefield tilted, gravity twisting sideways. Some enemies were hurled screaming into the endless sky—others simply slid into Almond’s range.

His blades opened again. This time, the effect wasn’t visible.

But where the monsters had been, there was nothing. No corpses. No dust. No echo.

Only the sound of Levi’s voice, cold and sharp in every mind.

”Three seals broken. One remains. The Maw is stirring. Do not give the Tree time to breathe. Almond only needs 10 seconds now.”

And the battle raged higher than ever.

Ten seconds felt like a thousand because those who had not become Grimverse’s residents were pouring their all. The other Regalons who were here to aid, numbering two hundred, were feeling death all around them, but they never backed once, and remained in the formations created by those Regalons who had become Grimverse’s residents, unlocking a higher realm of power.

Lily and others had complete influence over their mental sphere, which they had learned autometically.

The mental sphere’s range depends on the Trinity Power stat, but in this range, they could connect to everyone and everything and put their influence over them.

It felt like they had total control over others, with all details available to them.

Naturally, for this mental network to work, the people in the range must agree willing, be it a stronger or weaker being.

But its effects were fantastic because Lily and others were channeling other people’s power in the most suitable way that enhanced their moves, giving them far more energy and creativity to efficiently kill the monsters.

And seeing all that, Grimworld Tree was panicking hard.

They were unstoppable!

”I need to increase the ceiling...no, but those two will still be stronger. Those two...”

XXX-rank had a maximum of 500,000 stat points, which was the total stat points that a peak 4-star Resident had.

Almond and Lily had 1,000,000, and that was what a peak 9-star resident would have.

Suddenly, Grimworld Tree remembered the rules. ”No, I can’t. I can’t break more rules, or I’ll invite the doom faster. I have to wait until the master is ready with his seal to keep those alive.”

”But these fuckers...” Grimworld Tree watched with great fraustration and terror as Almond succeeded in saving Oblivion.

”Fuck!”

”Master! Things are getting out of hand here again!”
