Supreme Couple In Apocalypse: Undead King & Demonic Queen

After entering through the portal crack that Zil created, Aria found herself in a cavern illuminated by white-yellow crystals.

There was a pond ten meters away from them, right at the center of the cavern. It was a mysterious pond with faint blue sparkling water, edged by clear and beautiful stones.

"What game you got?" Nira asked as she followed Zil toward the pond.

Aria followed both of them while looking around curiously. "It's a closed cavern."

"Only Pandas of Shadow Bamboo Sanctuary can access these caves," Nira said, her gaze on the pond.

"The game is Egg Hunt," Zil grinned. "The spots are filled up to 78. It will reach 100 after several minutes."

"Thanks, Zil," Nira said with a big smile. "We'll rank high and get you your favorite dish with bonus points."

"Yosii," Zil cheered with a grin. "That's why I gave you my quota. Now go and play with eggs, hahaha."

The panda grabbed its shortened bamboo stick and touched the surface of the pond, causing it to shine as a mysterious cloudy whirlpool formed in it.

"Let's go, Aria."

"Mhm," Aria said with curiosity and anticipation as she jumped right after Nira.

Aria saw the scenery changing before her eyes and found herself facing a massive forest with huge trees that were several hundred meters tall with huge branches.

These trees had straight and massive trunks going straight up to a few thousand kilometers, with branches also growing straight from their trunks up to a few hundred meters long and several meters thick.

Aria and Nira arrived at one such branch on a giant tree in this massive world.

Right as they arrived, Aria's and Nira's badges slightly glowed before both of them saw a mystical green-blue panel appearing before them.

"What's this?"

Aria raised her eyebrows.

[Wish Box]

-Put your Reward Wish.

"Yep. It's as the panel says. You can put whatever you want there," Nira grinned. "But it's only limited to your own attributes."

"Means?" Aria blinked.

"Watch."

Nira touched the window before her with her index finger and released a wood elemental energy by consuming some Prana.

An eccentric symbol of wood appeared in the window before it changed as some words appeared.

[Easy Task: Collect 20 eggs — Wood Enlightenment for 1 hour.]

[Medium Task: Collect 30 eggs + Kill a Celestial Fiend — Wood Enlightenment for 2 hours.]

[Difficult Task: Collect 50 eggs + Kill 2 Celestial Fiends — Wood Enlightenment for 5 hours.]

"If you put one of your Concepts as a reward, then it will transport you to a makeshift dimension filled with your concept power manifest in myriad ways. You can train and practice there to make progress."

"This is amazing!" Aria's eyes shone. "So we can really progress fast here."

"Yep. As long as you complete tasks. This is one of the main specialties of the top 10 Super-tier dimension worlds."

Nira clenched her fists and her eyes showed clear resolve. "We have to get stronger and more capable so we can participate in the Axis Realm. It is the most important place in this layer of cosmos."

"I see," Aria wrote her wish reward in the window as well. 'Concept it is! I have to increase my Dream Concept's realm first.'

"Also, what do you mean by cosmos layer?" Aria asked. "You also mentioned this before."

Nira chuckled and said, "You can say that there's a certain ceiling in this universe and if you want to get more powerful, you have to ascend from this universe eventually. Peak Reverend-order is limit here, along with many other limits you will feel when you get stronger."

"If you want to ascend to the Wilerend Cosmos Layer, the one above this one, you have to go to the Axis realm and fight against others with similar goals to occupy an ascension site."

Nira's eyes lit up with fire as she continued, "But Reverend-order powerhouses can bring Empyrean-order people with them because they are essential to occupy an ascension site. If we win there, then we can ascend along with the Reverend-order we chose to follow."

"Do you know why this is so important?" Nira grabbed Aria's hands and looked at her with intense expression.

Aria was amazed and also taken aback at Nira's sudden question, but quickly shook her head with a curious expression, "Why it's so important?"

"First, only a limited amount of Reveren-order can ascend each year because Axis Realm only opens for one month every year with limited ascension sites in it. There are many Reverend-order failing every year, trying again, failing, so imagine…when your turn will come?" Nira spoke somberly.

"No idea, but I think it's very long," Aria nodded.

"Believe me when I say that it's too long!" Nira gritted her teeth. "We are still at Empyrean-order, but once we reach Reverend-order, we have to still get stronger, and reach a peak in that, which will take loooong time and finally after reaching the peak, we now have to fight for the spots for ourselves!"

"This is going to take a few hundred or more even for the most geniuses because Reverend-order's journey to peak is a time-consuming journey unless you are a reincarnation of some higher cosmic layer being, but even then, over a hundred years is a must even for them due to resource limitations for Reveren-order in this cosmos layer."

Aria was shocked as she realized the importance. "So if we win in Axis Realm with a Reverend-order lead while being Empyrean-order, we can go there suuuuper early?! I understand it now.

Aria nodded with a serious expression, but her eyes betrayed the thrill she was feeling. "Let's do this. Erix, Rin, and everyone will get stronger and we will win this!

Aria's face couldn't help but part into a grin, "It's going to be so much fun."

*Screee!*

"Shit! Fun is here, but it's dangerous," Nira was shocked as she heard the screeching and soon saw a two-hundred-tall strange dragon with volcanic crystal small wings, a copper-cracked giant belly with strange red and black patterns, and small limbs with sharp long dark silver claws flying towards them.

'Aria, be careful! This thing is dangerous and fast! Try to escape, but remain within 50 kilometers of each other. We will talk in this spirit channel and work together to kill it!'

'Okie! Let's do it!'
