As I absorbed the energy from the desolate land of the Shadowlands the essence of every magical creature living across this land I drew them into myself, adding their power to mine. I could feel my power increase as my divine connection extended to this part of the world.
The same way I had just absorbed the Lion of the Night after slaying it, I was currently absorbing the rest of the lands of this world, furthering my continual ascension.
The Lion of the Night had been the last true god of this world the final obstacle between me and absolute dominion. The others had submitted already, bending the knee to a power greater than their own.
Every other god had either submitted to me or been crushed and absorbed into me to continue my ascension.
As I finished the cleansing of these lands, my body melted into red energy as I manifested myself somewhere else.
Entering my own personal realm I was graded by a group of women before me, kneeling in a perfect circle, as all of them have been my concubines in there mortal lives ascending to serve me eternally each one possessing a shard of my divinity.
Albedo was at the center of them, her golden eyes shining with devotion, her body radiant with the power I had gifted her. She had been the first, of my women and for that I had given her a shard of the Moon Mother's power, blended with the essence of Mother Rhoyne, and watched as she ascended to godhood beside me.
"My Emperor the last god of Planetos has fallen this world is now truly under your domain" albedo say make me smile.
I ascended my throne a seat of obsidian and starlight, carved from the heart of a dying star. The throne room stretched infinitely in all directions, a space that existed outside of time and space, a realm of my own creation.
From this throne, I could see everything every corner of the entire planet, from the frozen wastes of the North to the burning sands of Dorne. From the Shadowlands beyond Asshai to the Sunset Sea. Every living creature, every dead soul, every spark of consciousness that had ever existed on this world.
And now all of it was mine every living thing in this world under my dominion. But it was not enough as the urge of conquest has not left me only leaving me with a further urge for conquest.
"I think it's time to return to the Great Tomb of Nazarick. What do you think, Albedo?" I told her.
Albedo's eyes widened in surprise.
"I will make the preparations, my Emperor," Albedo said with pure worship in her tone, leaving the throne room and my divine halls.
The moment she left, I left the world. My home world's time stopped in place as I traveled through different world lines.
I knew Albedo had an interest in going back to whatever her home world's remains were, but for me, I had no interest in it. But I would have to deal with it eventually. So for now, I would enjoy traveling the Multiverse by myself as my home was frozen in time until I returned.
Before I could continue traveling between the worlds, in a blink of an eye, I disappeared and appeared in a different place.
As I looked around this place as I was in a beach that I was currently standing on however I immediately move my head as I heard a voice behind me as I noticed a similar aura to my a powerful draconic aura coming from whoever this guy was.
"Nice you already reaching the power of a Eldridge God after completing your very first world is impressive if I do say so myself me personally it took me a couple worlds before even I ascended to Godhood good for you" the purple eye brunette, said as he threw a confidence smirk at me.
"Who are you and why did you bring me here" I asked carefully as I release some of my aura as I prepare myself if I need to attack and go on the offensive.
"The name is Lucas Black. Or you can also call me the Alchemist, or whatever you like. Regardless, I didn't come to take your time, but to get back something that's mine."
Before I could do anything, Lucas held up his arm. From my chest, golden blocks came out and immediately went to him. These golden blocks turned into a small orb.
After a moment, I recovered, but I could feel that I had gotten slightly stronger from whatever he had done.
"I just came for the system I granted you so many centuries ago. Besides, it's not like it was not a liability at this point. The system has done its intended purpose."
"You were the one who created my system?" I asked, recovering from losing the system as I looked at this man who nodded happily.
"Yes, it was a fun project. The rewards you received were copies of items from my own collection, or abilities, or skills gathered throughout the centuries I have been alive. I'll be honest it was fun seeing you play around for a few hundred years."
As I heard this, I felt slightly uncomfortable. I doubted I could face this person and survive. He was essentially putting me at his mercy.
"Don't look at me like that. It's not like I'm going to kill you after bringing me this much enjoyment. I just wanted to inform you to be careful out there. As obvious as it sounds, the infinite Multiverse is infinite with infinite people. You will never be the strongest, no matter how much you try. But you don't have to be alone."
"Similar-minded gentlemen tend to meet up in that bar. We have a little club. The function of it is very simple: if some outsider fucks with us, the rest will join and help each other out. We are always looking for new members and new stories to learn. Maybe after some centuries, you would understand why. But for now, I am going to leave. If you ever wish to meet me again, just go to the bar and hope that I'm there. Take care of yourself."
And like that, he left, leaving me alone in this world.
"Maybe I'll go after some decades" I said out loud to myself after a moment. But for now I would explore the Multiverse and what it had to offer me and perhaps that I would bother going to that bar.
Because I had now a new world to explore and many much others in the future.

The true epilogue of the legacy: the way of old Valyria. Honestly this character despite all his obvious flaws was fun in concept? I thought about a potential spinoff of one of Aurion son traveling the multiverse but ultimately scratch it.
