At long last, we managed to steal the Sun and escape.

However, I never expected that the Sun God would be right there, just waiting for an opportunity to be unsealed!

I could swear I heard he was killed! Or was he not? I guess that Blood God bastard wasn't as strong as I imagined, huh.

But damn, we did screw things up a bit, much more than I imagined.

That Sun God is like, probably really, really angry right now, and he was incredibly strong as well.

So he'll probably start wreaking havoc on Abyss right off the bat, I doubt he has any chill to wait a bit at all.

He was a resentful being, not a God like everyone knew him anymore, I could sense it within him.

He had become but a vessel of his darkest desires and sick mind, and well, it doesn't help that he was betrayed by the only one he loved, I think.

Much like how the Recessed are, he was mutated into a strange entity, some sort of eldritch god at this point, I am fairly sure he didn't look like that thing before.

But well, whatever happened, we did what we could and obtained what we went there for. Albeit it is much larger and powerful than I imagined.

"I-It's gigantic, I am still surprised you have space in your World Realm to fit this thing!"

I heard Mammon's voice right by my left side, as his Axe form took the shape of his demonic body once more, wearing clothes made of gold, he rested his head over my shoulders.

"Yep, it's bigger than I ever expected, and it came with a bunch of parasites as well…"

"Parasites?"

"Yes, like that one over there."

I pointed into the gigantic yellow sun floating in the "outer space" area of my World Realm. There was a weird worm-like monstrosity moving across the plasma, it swirled and overflowed with cosmic power.

"What the hell is that?!" Mammon panicked. "T-There's no way it's a normal monster if its living inside a Star!"

"It's not," I sighed. "I believe it is a Celestial, or well, a Recessed of some sort. There are more like that all around the Star. Once their father's seal was undone, they have begun to wake up. Unlike their siblings though, they mutated into mindless monsters for some reason…"

"Don't tell me those are the former Celestials, those monsters?! Not even the Recessed looked this hideous!" Mammon sighed. "These were once proud warriors, angel-like sons of Father Sun, to think they became these things now… It is very humiliating for them."

"At least they don't seem interested in attacking us. But for now, I'll leave the Sun wrapped on a barrier of Chaos and Void, which I'll turn into an Ego… there," I waved my hand, using the powers of my Class, Subclass, Skill, and Cosmic Magic all together.

Employing my own Authority Aura and Cosmic Domain, I combined them both, solidified them, and Cosmic Enchanted them into a Maxima Summon and a Cosmic Ego.

Ding!

[You successfully used [Absolute Cosmic Enchantment: Lv3] to transform the Veil of Authority and Cosmic Domain into the Cosmic Maxima Ego: [Chaos-Sealing Cosmic Veil: Aether]!]

[As long as you supply Cosmic Power and Essence to Aether, their defenses and sealing powers will remain at 100%!]

"And done… I am exhausted, I don't plan on eating all of that yet. I have some plans for it first," I smiled, rubbing my chin. "Eating it all right now would be foolish, when I could also experiment a few things with it."

"Like what?" wondered Mammon.

"Well, for example, find a way to produce more of it for everyone to absorb. I'll need to absorb almost all of it to Rank Up, but I doubt the conditions will be as harsh for everyone else… If they can at least eat like a third of it, they probably could advance, right?" I wondered. "So I'll work into something similar to what I've done with the Realm Cores."

"Is that even possible?" Mammon wondered.

"It should."

Suddenly, Charlotte appeared, and well, most of my family and allies that had come with us to this entire little raid to retrieve a whole star.

"We would just need to obtain some sort of alloy or material capable of withstanding the heat of this star first…" she said. "But I think that should be possible with Kireina's abilities. That Veil she created can already withstand its powers. If we can somehow transform it into a metal of some sort, a refinement process could be done, and then we could build something around it to rapidly absorb the Sun's power or extract its parts and then let them regenerate."

"It's a bit more complicated than before," I nodded. "But with the powers we have and all those little parasites inside, I think we could have enough compatible energy to work into something."

Unlike the previous Realm Cores, I had already become World Realm, so it wasn't necessary for me to eat them. This time I need to eat the entire star, so its different. We have to figure out a way for the star to produce a large quantity of energy, somehow divide itself, or something so I can still eat the whole star while leaving the rest for everyone else.

But we do have the ideas and resources for that, so we should do this as soon as possible, of course, after a proper celebration and some rest. Everyone is exhausted and I don't want to force them to move anymore.

Tomorrow though, we'll begin with this. After we figure out something, I'll ascend, help everyone ascend too, and then go assist those that have become stranded on Abyss. Whatever happens after that, well, it is beyond my grasp.

"Don't worry, I am already designing several blueprints, I'll run on some simulations and see what a better prototype for it could be," said Charlotte.

Right, she was like a cyborg at this point, a divine cosmic cyborg at that, her computing power was incredible, so she could do a lot just inside her mind.

"Don't push yourself too hard, also ask help to Astraea and Andromeda if you want," I patted her shoulders. "Anyways, everyone, let's go have a feast and celebrate!"
