When Phoenix checked Clara’s status, he became extremely shocked at what he saw.

  [Clara - deity of humanity]

  [All stats are ]

  [Note: Clara is the sister of the deity of psionic power, Josh.]

  [You don’t have access to any other related data.]

  “Why didn’t they ever tell me the truth?” Phoenix asked.

  “Because we weren’t allowed to. Cosmic laws restricted that data,” the now fully awake Clara answered. Phoenix asked, “Not even when I was a monarch? I know bits and pieces about how temporal regression works, including that deities remember the previous timeline.” Clara replied, “We could, but we were unable to since fate was defied. We will assist you in the protection of Shade.”

  14 years and 365.2498 days later

  “Are you Shade?” Phoenix asked someone. “Yes, I am Shade.” they replied. Looking Shade in their eyes, Phoenix told him, “You are in extreme danger. I am here to protect you from one who has defied fate. Shade turned around, revealing that the black haired man had their mouth covered by a black scarf, and replied, “Who even are you?” Phoenix then unleashed his cosmic authority along with enormous amounts of mana. Shade then asked Phoenix, “Are you a grand ruler or an elder monarch?” Phoenix replied, “I am Phoenix, the Elder Monarch of Magic and Mage King, transcendent, and finally Regressor.” Shade sighed and responded, “I see.” He then decided to attempt to lower Phoenix’s probability of being a mage, but nothing happened. Phoenix explained, “I also have unlimited control over probability.” [ALERT: The True Demon Lord, Destructus, is emerging. Emergence has ended due to a monarch’s presence.] [The Overgod Queen of Demons, Inera, has requested that both the fate Shade and Elder Monarch Phoenix come before her at once.] “Interesting,” Phoenix thought to himself.

  The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

  After travelling to the 1st layer of the Abyss, which is Inera’s divine domain, received a system notification.

  [ALERT: There will soon be a All monarchs, rulers, admins, architects, and other higher beings are requested to choose from either the Destroyer faction, or the Astral Union]

  “I think I’m going to side with the Astral Union.”

  [Astral Union selected]

  [You have received an S-rank quest: Work with the Astral Union and the other allies they have to defeat the Destroyer Faction. Reward for Completion: 100,000,000,000,000 Astralite to each Higher Being Allied with this Organization. Time until the War’s Start: 1 hour; you will be automatically teleported 10 minutes before war start]

  50 minutes later - The City of Arcanum’s central building 1:00 PM

  “... Who are you again?” Phoenix asks another higher being. They replied, “My name is Arcturus, and I am a transcendent creation mage.” “Alright,” Phoenix replied, “do you know who the woman who is currently standing right behind me is, Arcturus?” Arcturus answered, “I am not sure what her name is, but as far as I know, she is one of the most powerful administrators alive. I have also heard she is very temperamental, so be careful around her!” Phoenix, a little curious about the woman, replied, “... Okay…” He then turned around and carefully analyzed her. While he was doing that, she asked, “Why are you so curious about me, Phoenix?” Surprised, he told her, “Why wouldn’t I? I just met an admin in person for the first time, Arcturus told me, the elder monarch of freaking magic, to be careful around, so again, why wouldn’t I?” The administrator replied, “Well, my name is Crystal. You have a fair point. Would you like to duel me after the mage war is over?” “Sure!” Phoenix replied, then placed a nigh indestructible ward around the city, created an indestructible suit of animated armor, then teleported just past the ward. To his surprise, Crystal kept up with him. Then, he had the suit of animated armor destroy 1000 opposing soldiers, causing a huge amount of blood to spray everywhere. Crystal created a ton of indestructible wires so thin that even diamond would get cut by it and used it to cut 1,094 soldiers into 1,000 pieces each. The Destroyer faction then managed to shock everybody by surrendering to the Astral Union.
