Chapter 426: A second death
PS: Priam Character SheetPSS: Discordto say hello and discuss the chappies!*Leaving the smoking half-corpse behind him, Priam used his kinetic skill to surge toward Log-a-rhythm. On the way, he took in the rest of the battlefield. The Aelbe delegation had taken aboard a large number of the clan’s Tier 3s, and the skeleton crew left behind was being ganged up on by the Gaeserts’. It was encoura...

Chapter 425: The First One to FallLvl Up: [Radiation Resistance] lvl 11CONST +3VIT +3Meta(Authority) +3The Juggernaut wiped a trail of blood from the corner of his lips. Ignoring his pain receptors thanks to Micro, he smiled faintly. He loved magic, but being a tank had its perks. Still… how the hell did they manage to poison me?When the dimensional barrier started to ripple like boiling water, ...
Chapter 424: A Bite of the Juggernaut
PS: Priam Character SheetPSS: Discordto say hello and discuss the chappies!Eleha gripped the balcony railing so tightly her knuckles whitened. Without it, her hands would have shaken. Shameful for a Tier 3, though not as shameful as waking every night screaming from nightmares where she faced Dishnu again. In those dreams, the Champion always won, buried her alive, and used her body as an aether b...
Chapter 423: Fount of Ichor
PS: Priam Character SheetPSS: Discordto say hello and discuss the chappies!After stepping over the outer wall of the tribal camp, Log-a-rhythm only needed to take three steps before rooting himself. A perk of having long legs.Through the dimensional barrier separating the Aelbe manor from the rest of Elysium, Priam saw the clansmen blanch. A fifty-meter-tall vegetal titan—no matter its Tier—ha...
Chapter 422: Tal Quercus
PS: Priam Character Sheet(you can thanks the Discordguys!)*Chapter 422: Tal Quercus“Which Title did you pick?”“[Four-Headed Hydra].”“…May the Primogenitor grant me the strength to keep conversing with this fool,” his mentor swore. “Throw that thing away. Now.”Drama queen, Priam thought. Then corrected himself: Drama prince.“That core cost me six hundred thousand Sun points.”...
Chapter 421: Preparations
First chap of the week. Second one in 2 min! PS: Priam Character Sheet(you can thanks the Discordguys!)*After their parents’ divorce, Priam’s little sister loved wrestling with him. A clumsy attempt to draw her brother’s attention, as he would only realize years later.She was six years younger, forty centimeters shorter, and barely half his weight. For his part, Priam had all the maturity of...
Chapter 420: To have the home-field advantage

Next one: Thursday 9/10PS: Priam Character Sheet(you can thanks the Discordguys!)*“My brother was right, you’re trying to use me,” Osiris muttered as he manhandled Priam’s stump.“Hey, easy!

Chapter 419: Overachiever
Chapter 419: OverachieverPriam screamed as he yanked what was left of his hand back. Despite what some might think, his relationship with pain was perfectly ordinary: he derived no joy from it. Even with the near-instantaneous destruction of his nerves, blocking the beam of a gigajoule laser was like plunging a finger into fire, or gripping the glowing coil inside an oven. The agony was absolute, ...
Chapter 418: Preparations
First chap of the week. Another one in a minute!*POT -4 985Downgrade of [Virus Resistance - Legendary].CON -18VIT -45PERC -9MEM -9A legendary skill… but far from ideal. Practically a stain on Priam’s otherwise dazzling status sheet. If he had hesitated to downgrade it for more than a month, it was mostly out of fear of turning himself into a glorified human nugget.During his quintuple Tribulat...
Chapter 417: Royal Path
Third chapter of the week. Read the 416 before this one!Enjoy!*Title won![Witness to the End - Bronze] - You have glimpsed an apocryphal being. A possible ending for any universe.META (Perception) +10%It was the fourth time Priam reread the text. It had taken him some time to steady his emotions. Not fear, but anger. Or was it greed?The apocryphal Kazuki had been a monster whose mere presence unra...
Chapter 416: Collector
Announcement to Sector Hope:Priam Azura has become a Collector.The conversations in the hall faltered. Every guest turned toward the king, waiting to see how he would react.Unlike the fools wearing constipated expressions, Esméralda nearly burst out laughing. Micro managed to twist her features into a thin smile, which she quickly hid behind her napkin.“Impossible,” Rohan muttered. “Not thi...
Chapter 415: Girls’ Talk
I’m more or less healed now, and finally in shape to write again. Joy!Next one: in 36h*“You’re really going to change outfits for the fourth time since we got here?”As a shadow, Jasmine arched a brow. Too bad that black on black, no one could see it.“As expected of an Empyrean princess,” Esmée replied, peeling off her skirt. Underneath, she wore the kind of granny panties Jasmine woul...
Chapter 414: Apocryphal
First chap of the week. Read the 413 before!Enjoy!PS: Priam Character SheetPSS: Discordto say hello and discuss the chappies!*Reality fractured. Like a glitch in the Matrix, Knightmare’s presence threatened to collapse the simulation itself.Fuck.Priam’s instincts howled as his Concepts turned distant, muted. His own aether froze, refusing his command. Only his Supremacies still obeyed.Fuck. Fu...
Chapter 413: A Step Too Far
This one is for last week. Next one in 1 minute.Enjoy!PS: Priam Character SheetPSS: Discordto say hello and discuss the chappies!*Holding his breath, Priam watched Knightmare rise once more. The skeleton was nothing but a vessel, animated by undying obsession and anchored to a single Concept: Duty. That alone was enough to tether its soul for a few minutes more.“That’s… for real?!” His eye...
Chapter 412: Neither Hypocrite, Nor Hero
PS: Priam Character SheetPSS: Discordto say hello and discuss the chappies!At a few clipped orders from Kazuki, the hoplites filed out, leaving the two Champions alone.“I thought I’d find you on the front lines,” Priam said, glancing around. Even months after integration, the wonders of this new life hadn’t dulled for him. Standing on a hoplite war platform fell into that category.“My so...
Chapter 411: Karma Gate
PS: Priam Character SheetPSS: Discordto say hello and discuss the chappies!PSSS: The chapters once again end with a status. Thanks to Derze for having double-checked the numbers!*Following the instructions of the Heavenly Dragon method, Priam mapped his meridians. The spiritual network distributed the aether throughout his body, and by feeding only certain pathways he watched what looked like a th...

Chapter 409: Serendipity or Destiny
A thousand iron-shod heels striking the cobblestones could rouse only two emotions: excitement or fear.“What’s that noise?” asked one of the Aelbes, his voice pitched just a shade too high.“A hoplite company,” Kazuki answered. “You planning to invade Proxima? Well, we’ll invade you first.”Sometimes, the General could sound epic. As though waiting for their Champion to finish his li...
Chapter 407+408: Showdown
You know the drill: a day late, so a double to catch up. Next one in 48h (to be sure to his the deadline this time).Enjoy!*A few seconds earlier.Seeing his opponent flee, Arnold analyzed the situation. Letting an enemy escape was against his nature. Besides, his recent studies on captured locals had revealed an unreasonable tendency toward vengeance. Better to tear the weed up by the roots—as hi...
Chapter 406: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic
Sorry guys, hard week. Anyway, next chapter in 24 hours. Enjoy!*After Hekthorn resurrected Gaillard, he ignored Priam’s wounds. Restraining the urge to flip him off, the Champion made his way toward the section of the arena beneath his private box. Halfway there, he crossed paths with Arnold.The Var Elegis had once again changed bodies. This time, he shared little more than a silhouette and a fe...

A double today! Read the 404 before this one!PS: Priam Character SheetPSS: Discordto say hello and discuss the chappies!*The Gaesert laughed before dashing forward, leaving an afterimage in his wake.

PS: Priam Character SheetPSS: Discordto say hello and discuss the chappies!*“Ladies, gentlemen, and honored guests, welcome to the penultimate day of this grand tournament!” Zulkar threw up his arms, drinking in the roar of the crowd. “Today begins the Tier 3 duels… but first, the Tier 2 final: Death’s Obsession versus Thick Skin!” Priam tilted his head back to meet the eyes of his opp...

Chapter 402: Mind Ennoblement - Part II
Enjoy!PS: Priam Character SheetPSS: Discordto say hello and discuss the chappies!Chapter 402: Mind Ennoblement - Part IIThe Seven Concepts were gatekeeping the Zenith. Priam had no other proof than an educated guess, but he was sure he was right. It fit perfectly with the mindset of the powerful: never let anyone surpass you.“That’s very interesting,” he said at last, “but it’s still a l...

Chapter 398: The Difference Between Surviving and Living
If his hypothesis proved true, then the next question presented itself quite naturally: who was the third Champion without a sponsor?Sorting his rivals by order of arrival on Elysium gave the following list: Esmée, Arnold, Dishnu, Kaya, Ève, Tyr, Seth, Jasmine, and Kazuki. The last two were known to be sponsorless, and if a pattern were to be inferred, Seth might be the third. It was plausible, ...
Chapter 397: Yet Another Sponsor
Next one in 36 hours :DEnjoy!PS: Priam Character SheetPSS: Discordto say hello and discuss the chappies!*Three minutes later, Priam rose to his feet. He was far from fully healed, but his body could stand.

Next one in 24 hours :DEnjoy!PS: Priam Character SheetPSS: Discordto say hello and discuss the chappies!*Dishnu’s directions were far from GPS-accurate, but Priam still found the artificial clearing in under ten minutes.
