Chapter 423: Another Hero!?
Margarete observed her silly reaction before she replied, "I don\'t know how it happened, but that aura jumped from the Initial Stages of the Half-Step Lunar Ascendancy Realm to the Peak Stages and beyond. I know this through my eye."
Her slender hand extended out before she pointed to the glossy blue eye that had a snake-like slit in the middle.
"The eye of the Azure Lord told you this!?"
Crias was in doubt before, but after hearing that the eye of a past Lunar Ascendancy Realm hero had informed Margarete of this information, she no longer doubted her friend.
"B-But, I don\'t understand how this could be possible" Crias mumbled with a perplexed look on her face.
She had never heard of such absurdities being possible! And she had even witnessed the Great Leviathan consume a stray Low-Level Cosmic Asteroid outside of Asterion\'s innermost air space!
But now she was being told that someone was capable of advancing from the Peak Mahayana Realm to the Half-Step Lunar Ascendancy Realm, and then the Lunar Ascendancy Realm!?
"..." Margarete looked at her shocked, short, and voluptuous witch friend before she said, "This is likely to be the coming of another hero. Maybe even one who could thwart the approach of those world-eating worms."
Her voice sounded out in a dry tone; however, the one she was speaking to reacted quite eccentrically
"Another hero!? Are you sure, Margarete!? Maybe all that cow fat has been getting to your head-"
*Whack!*
Crias was about to touch upon an extremely sensitive subject, but before she could even open her mouth and say the words, Margarete had already slapped her across the head!
"Oww What was that for, Sister Margarete?" Crias asked with tears in her eyes that were produced by the pain.
Margarete stared at her friend with a cold gaze before she responded, "I did it out of habit."
"Out of habit?" Crias questioned.
"Precisely. Now stop acting like a fool, we must head back to our nations and prepare for the worst. I\'ll also try to find the source of that aura signature," Margarete said with a serious look on her face.
Following her proclamation, she told Crias to prepare all her daughter\'s for transport off the planet within the next few years.
Crias was surprised by Margarete\'s sudden decision to speed up the transportation process, but in the end, her elder sister always knew best, so she hurried back to the Azure God Empire.
On the other hand, Margarete followed behind the hundreds of Mahayana Realm figures speeding toward her kingdom.
She had to find a way to steer their attention away from the AquaRing Kingdom, but she didn\'t know exactly how she would do that just yet
*****
Meanwhile, at the Mariase Hotel in the Royal Capital of AquaRing, a wolf-masked man was floating above a wooden floor with a grimace shining through his mask.
And around this man, there were hundreds of gorgeous women staring at him with trepidation evident in their expressions.
\'I finally broke through, but the aftereffects are hitting me hard\' Azmond thought.
He was going to try alleviating some of the detrimental aftereffects of breaking through; however, just as he was about to start working on it, a few system notifications rang out inside his head.
A few bright lights flashed.
BLING!
*Ding!* *You have broken through from the \'Absolute Peak Stages of the Half-Step Quantum Void Refining Realm\' to the \'Initial Stages of the Early Quantum Void Refining Realm\'*
*Ding!* *You have acquired the \'Void Strength\' boon!*

*Ding!* *Your overall combat power has increased from the \'Middle Stages of the 1st Star Lunar Ascendancy Realm\' to the \'Peak Stages of the 1st Star Lunar Ascendancy Realm\'*
*Ding!* *Your Quantum Law comprehension rate has tremendously improved!*
WAAAA!
An immense level of energy was unleashed from Azmond\'s battered figure after he had successfully broken through!
"Th-This is" Clawdia mumbled with a frazzled appearance.
She never felt such a powerful aura in her entire life!
If a few weeks ago, she felt like she could take Azmond on in a fight and win, then now she felt like an insurmountable chasm had been placed between the two of them!
"..." "..." "..."
The rest of the girls felt the exact same way, except the gap between them was even wider than with Clawdia.
For some reason, they had a feeling that Azmond could wipe out Asterion with a single flick of his finger now that he possessed such power
And what surprised them the most was that he was millions of times weaker just a few seconds ago! Millions of times stronger within a few days!
Azmond had already surpassed the label of \'Aberration\'. He had become something else entirely
However, regardless of the girl\'s astoundment, they still looked on lovingly at the man they deemed theirs.
Not many women could say that they had a relationship so close with someone who possessed strength in the Lunar Ascendancy Realm!
And although the majority of them didn\'t have official \'lover\' relationships with Azmond, they still thought of themselves as more than friends.
Meanwhile, on Azmond\'s side, inside the Qi enclosed iridescent barrier that he set up,.
*Drip Drip*
Red and purple blood was drizzling down his lips, as his face had turned a few shades grayer
It was obvious that he had gone through quite a lot of torture to break through to the Quantum Void Refining Realm. However, it looked like his \'trial\' wasn\'t yet done
