Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 636

Chapter 636: Tenth Expansion, And The Infinite Branches

Nameless Death looked at him carefully.

"...You’re insane. If you wanted to teach me that technique, you could’ve taught it to me with a more normal method."

"Probably."

Cole laughed.

He had no intention of ever harming Nameless Death.

Why would he do that to a person who liked games enough to combine them into his Path?

All he wanted was to help Nameless Death learn Resonance properly.

The Resonance he had used against Barbatos was half-baked.

However, the one he used right now was good enough.

Cole sipped his coffee again and leaned against the balcony railing like nothing had happened.

"I’ll give you the freebie when I feel like it, and now you can go."

He snapped his fingers.

Nameless Death’s consciousness blanked out instantly.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in his forge.

He slowly looked down at his hands.

Power pulsed through them.

He felt far stronger than before.

Resonance had taken root within him.

His grip tightened.

He could feel it clearly now.

’My strength... it’s several folds higher than before.’

And the most shocking part?

’I should be able to fight a Stage-5 now.’

The idea alone was absurd.

The leap from peak Stage-4 to Stage-5 was an infinitely wide chasm.

Nameless Death doubted anyone in the history had ever been able to cross that chasm.

But now, he could do it.

He was still processing the weight of that realization when he heard Leonora’s voice behind him.

"Nameless Death?" she called out. "Did something... happen?"

"...?"

"You feel different," she said, stepping closer. "Your presence... it’s changed."

She narrowed her eyes, scanning him.

As someone who had housed a Supreme in her body multiple times, Leonora had a sensitivity to strength that few others could match.

Even subtle changes didn’t escape her notice.

"It’s nothing much," Nameless Death replied. "How much time has passed since I started meditating?"

"An hour," she said after a short pause.

That lined up with how long he had spent speaking with Cole. He nodded.

Without explaining further, he sat back down and resumed his meditation.

There were no more distractions now.

It was time.

’It’s time I devour the Path of Achievement.’

He cracked open his Seed of Existence again and reached inward, targeting a very specific part of himself—his Intent of Existence.

Within that Intent, the connection to the Universal Codex System resided.

He aimed for it and began devouring the thread connecting to his Intent of Existence.

The moment he touched it, something hit him.

An overwhelming flood of information slammed into his mind like a tidal wave.

The thread contained knowledge about himself.

This was the information being sent by Universal Codex System to update his status in real-time.

Each moment of his existence, each shift in power, each passing second was being recorded.

He clenched his jaw.

The flood of information was too overwhelming. Even for someone like him, the intensity was staggering.

But he didn’t stop.

He forced himself to endure it and kept devouring the connection.

His Darkness wrapped around the thread of information like a hand gripping a rope.

With his Consciousness, he followed the path of the thread to its source.

It led him into a strange series of subdimensions.

Shadowy spaces filled with distorted time and fragmented matter.

He moved through them blindly, like a man in a dark tunnel holding onto a single rope, hoping it would lead somewhere.

Soon, he noticed something.

The thread he was following wasn’t alone.

Dozens of others floated nearby. Then hundreds. Thousands. Millions. They kept increasing until their numbers became uncountable.

He didn’t touch them.

Not yet.

He wanted to see where they were all heading before doing anything that might affect others.

Devouring one was one thing.

Accidentally severing another being’s connection to their System? That was something else.

That’s when he noticed it.

Pop.

Nameless Death crossed some sort of boundary.

He looked up... and froze.

A chill ran through his entire body.

He didn’t know who that was.
