Abyssal Sovereign: The Demon's Dominion

---

**At the Abyss**

In the deep layers of the Abyss, multiple figures gathered, each radiating an aura capable of collapsing entire universes. These figures sat upon gigantic thrones inside a vast, foreboding castle.

"Now that we're all here, we need to discuss the war we lost," a Rank 5 demon began, initiating the discussion.

"Well, we had no real advantage. We were fighting ten high-level multiverses simultaneously," a female demon said, crossing her legs in a sultry manner.

"Hmmm, what are high-level multiverses?" another Rank 5 demon asked, his aura still somewhat unstable, indicating he had just broken through.

"Oh, so you've just reached Rank 5. Let me explain. We all know what a universe is, right? After that comes a multiverse. A multiverse is simply a collection of universes grouped together. These can be divided into low, middle, and high multiverses.

A low multiverse contains as few as five universes. Middle multiverses have more, and high multiverses contain significantly more. The rest, you'll have to figure out on your own," an older demon explained. His aura was one of the strongest, and his throne was positioned closer to the center.

"A high-level multiverse has one thing in common—multiple parallel universes. The beings within these universes vary in strength, but when you first enter a multiverse, it might seem like it contains only eight or so universes. Don't be fooled. Use your rule to check, and you'll see layers upon layers of parallel universes. That's what makes it high-level," another elder demon added.

"Back to the discussion—what exactly did you all encounter?" one of the demons sitting in the center asked. Some demons had not participated in the war, as they were busy with other battles, and this particular demon was one of them.

"These ten high-level multiverses were too strong. In the multiverse I was in, a Rank 6 creature, disguised as a cub(a small kid), used a higher form of power. I'm not sure if it was a rule or something beyond that, but it completely erased every demon, except for those of us at Rank 5," a muscular demon said with a serious expression.

"Yours sounds tragic, but in the multiverse I entered, I thought I'd only be facing Rank 5 beings. Then, I encountered a strange creature. I couldn't tell if it was Rank 5 or 6, but none of my attacks worked," a demon with the appearance of a hybrid between a dragon and a tiger said, his eyes twitching.

"Oh, did it have blue skin?" a warlike female demon asked, her demeanor starkly different from the sultry one earlier.

"Yes…" the dragon-tiger demon replied.

"Oh, I see. He's called Dr. Something. You're both lucky and unlucky. That multiverse is dangerous," the warlike demon commented.

"Are there other Rank 6 beings in that multiverse?" the newly ascended Rank 5 demon asked curiously.

"Remember the giant hand?" the warlike demon asked.

"Yes."

"A powerhouse made a move."

"I felt so small in comparison."

"Was that a Rank 6 being?"

Several demons murmured in fear, recalling the memory.

"That was a Rank 6 being from the high-level multiverse I was in. They call him *The Presence*," the warlike demon said, causing all the demons to mark the name down, mentally preparing themselves for the next encounter.

"Is the gap between us and Rank 6 really that vast?" the newly ascended demon asked, puzzled.

"Sigh, you haven't even seen the gap between yourself and a low-level Rank 5 demon," the dragon-tiger demon said, shaking his head.

"Well, let me explain," the sultry female demon finally spoke up. Her body was designed to arouse male creatures, but those at Rank 5 were immune. However, demons below Rank 5 might lose their minds at the sight of her and fall under her control—a power tied to her rule.

"I'll make it simple. At Rank 0, we demons build and refine our bodies to their strongest form. At Rank 1, we awaken our element. For demons, it's fixed from birth, but other creatures have to study theirs. At Rank 2, we learn multiple elements—the more, the better. This is to create a law.

You perfect each element, studying and improving them until they reach the perfection realm. Once you've created a law based on the element you've chosen, the remaining elements strengthen it.

"At Rank 3, depending on the strength of your law, you'll either break through to the early or low level. This is why Rank 3 beings can destroy entire universes—because universes are made up of laws. Rank 4 is where you study even more laws. Demons, in particular, like to create clones that cultivate these laws from scratch. That's why Rank 5 demons tend to have many clones.

For example, all the demons who fought in the war were our clones. At Rank 5, you cultivate a rule. Multiple rules make up a multiverse. Beyond that is Rank 6, but we know little about it since no demon has reached that level. There are also different systems of power too.," the sultry demon explained, stopping at last.

"I see. But if we don't have any Rank 6 beings, and *The Presence* tried to destroy us, who stopped him?" the naive demon asked.

"Our mother," the oldest demon in the room said in a deep voice.

"Well, some of you have shared your experiences in these high-level multiverses. I'd like to hear from the rest," one of the elder demons said sternly.

Slowly, every demon who participated in the war described their battles and the enemies they had faced.

### The Mortal Realm

Void looked up at the bright sun shining over the devastated city, now devoid of life, and smiled lightly.

"Finally, I have enough souls to upgrade to high-level Rank 1," Void said with a slight smile. Now that he had achieved one of his goals, he knew that in the upcoming war, he wouldn't be so weak.

"I have to keep a low profile now. Let's go," Void murmured, picking up Linkir and disappearing with her. For the past hour, he had sensed a powerful presence scanning the destruction of the city. Now, he could feel a middle-level Rank 1 aura approaching. He guessed this being was sent by a powerhouse to investigate what had happened.

Killing this being would be useless since that large perception would likely track it back to Void, marking him. This could lead to his death. The best option was to leave and lie low until the war began.

Millions of kilometers away, Void appeared atop a mountain. Changing into his human form, he gazed at the bustling city below.

"Wait here for a few days, and when I return, we will leave," Void instructed Linkir before vanishing. Now that he had stocked up on clothes in the system's storage, he quickly donned one in his human form.

Linkir bowed, sat down obediently, and closed her eyes, waiting for Void's return.

Deep within an underground cave, Void materialized. "System, stat."

**(Ding!)**

**Host:** Void

**Race:** Primordial Demon

**Rank:** 1-Quasi High Level

**Strength:** High

**Speed:** High

**Stamina:** Middle

**Soul:** 520,000

**Blessing:** Son of the Abyss

**Element:** Fire

"Nice. System, break through," Void said with a grin, cracking his knuckles. He could hardly wait.

A surge of immense energy coursed through Void's body. The overwhelming power forced him to one knee.

"Damn," Void muttered through gritted teeth. His body wasn't just filling with power; his mind was also becoming flooded with knowledge of his element.

Hurriedly, Void sat by the cave wall to digest the knowledge and adapt to the energy surge.

---

Days later, Void reappeared in front of Linkir.

"Alright, we can move now," Void said, stretching his body. He hadn't moved in days, and his bones felt stiff.

"Yes, Master," Linkir said, flustered. She couldn't help but notice how much more handsome he had become, and the powerful charm he now exuded made her want to be near him even more.

Void and Linkir teleported to the city gate. The gate was massive, made of a special material. To Void, it was weak, but for Linkir, even given a whole day, she wouldn't have been able to make a dent in it.

"Sir, what brings you here?" a guard asked, stopping Void and Linkir. Void smiled lightly at the human guard.

"A temporary place to stay," Void replied with a natural smile. The guard looked him up and down, frowning.

Linkir tiptoed to whisper in Void's ear. "He needs money," she said quietly.

"Oh," Void muttered in surprise, his gaze sharpening. "All for keeping a low profile," he murmured, pulling out a white ore from his system's storage. The ore was waste left over from crafting his great sword.

"What's this? A golden coin?" the guard said, hitting Void's hand, expecting the ore to fly out. But Void's hand didn't budge.

Void released a sliver of his aura, and the guard was immediately pressed to the ground. Void, even in his human form, was at early-level Rank 1, a semi-legendary existence.

"Honorable sir, please," a young man appeared, shielding the guard from Void's aura with his own. Void frowned. The young man had the appearance of a second-generation rich kid, radiating a charm, and his aura wasn't weak either—it matched Void's level.

"Hmph," Void snorted, retracting his aura. The young man smiled slightly, then turned to the guard.

"Apologize," the young man ordered with a cold expression.

"Yes, sir! I... I am sorry, sir," the guard stammered, bowing low, his head hitting the ground. Void ignored him, keeping his eyes on the young man, whose expression had now softened into a smile.

"Follow me," the young man said, walking forward, paying no attention to Linkir. Void stepped over the groveling guard and followed in silence.

---

"Master... aren't you going to do something?" Linkir whispered, walking behind Void.

"Relax. This city will be the first to go when the war starts," Void replied.

Linkir smiled warmly, already imagining how she would torture the guard who had dared to speak to her master like that.

---

The city was vast and far more refined than the villages Void had seen. Beyond the gate lay a long passage leading to the city's heart, lined with teleportation circles that transported people to various zones. The city was divided into multiple sectors. Near the gate was the public zone, home to refugees and the impoverished.

Void, with his semi-legendary power, could see beyond the houses where ragged humans lived, but most would overlook the area.

Further ahead was a large market—the slave market—where defeated races were sold as sex toys, laborers, and more.
