Cosmic Ruler - Chapter 290

Chapter 290: Assimilating III

A year had passed, and in that time, Roselia had hunted down countless bandit dens, rescuing over a thousand women from the clutches of brutality and despair. She had become a force of nature, her power growing exponentially with each battle, and every woman she saved was another brick laid in the foundation of Aiden’s influence. These women were not just victims anymore; they were integral to the world Aiden was shaping.

The village had expanded, transforming from a mere bandit hideout to a flourishing town, its architecture filled with beauty and refinement. The women, once broken and lost, had begun to thrive, their potential unlocked thanks to Aiden’s “Paradoxical Perfection.” They worked together, utilizing their talents to elevate the village into a well-structured and prosperous community, with a mansion at its center where Aiden resided.

Within the confines of that mansion, Aiden’s strength grew day by day. In the span of the year, he had participated in countless dual cultivation sessions with these women, not just for physical pleasure but for mutual growth. The method provided by Nexus allowed Aiden to absorb the laws that each woman had internalized. Through their bonds and sessions, he comprehended all 1,500 laws of the universe. His rate of assimilation had skyrocketed as a result of the perfect dual cultivation method, and with each passing session, his understanding of the universe’s intricacies deepened.

By now, Aiden had achieved something beyond extraordinary. He had fully assimilated every law of the universe, something no mortal or immortal had ever accomplished. His “Universal Origin Body” had progressed further, granting him even more power, making him a true entity of universal origin. His body had transformed—no longer that of a mere child but an ageless figure, infused with the essence of the cosmos.

Roselia, after a year of relentless battles and aiding in Aiden’s growth, stood by his side, stronger and more radiant than ever. Her wings had grown even more brilliant, her aura exuding purity and power. She had fully embraced her role not only as Aiden’s loyal maid but as his closest companion, guiding and supporting him through each step.

The women of the village had followed Roselia’s example, becoming stronger as well. Those who had fully assimilated their laws were now on the verge of ascending to higher realms, their once-limited potential unlocked and flourishing under Aiden’s guidance.

Aiden, sitting in the heart of his grand mansion, reflected on the progress made in just one year. The foundation for his influence in this world had been laid, and his power was unmatched. The bandits had been eradicated, and the women he had rescued were now his followers, each growing stronger as part of his ever-expanding organization. His body, mind, and soul were perfectly in sync with the universe, and now he was ready for the next stage of his journey.

“Nexus,” Aiden called out internally. “I’ve learned all 1,500 laws of this universe. What’s next?”

[You are now beyond any ordinary entity. The Universal Origin Body has progressed, but there are still countless universes out there. To truly ascend, you must now focus on mastering the universes themselves. Each one has its own set of laws, and if you can comprehend them, you will become an unparalleled force.] Nexus responded.

[But, yes of course rose in power in this Universe first, next step is the next rank, which starts when you combine your laws and create path for your self, though I wonder what path you end up with as now you have comprehended and assimilated all the laws of this Universe ]

“I am eager to know about it too” Aiden said , as he looked forward to it.

[yes, then we will leave this galaxy, truly start with the Universe domination] Nexus said as Aiden nodded.

Aiden smirked. “Good. Then it’s time to expand our reach. Roselia, gather the others. We are moving forward.”

Roselia bowed with a bright smile, her wings shimmering with divine energy. “As you command, Master.”

The year of growth had been fruitful, but now, Aiden’s eyes were set on something far larger than just one universe. His journey was just beginning.

As Aiden sat in his mansion, contemplating the next steps in his journey, the door slowly opened, and Roselia entered. Behind her, six new maids followed, each exuding a distinct presence and aura that immediately drew Aiden’s attention. Just like Roselia, who embodied the Light and Fate attributes as a “Magic Maid,” these new maids had their own unique and powerful specialties.

Roselia gracefully stepped forward and introduced them one by one.

1. Seraphina – The Celestial Guardian Maid

Class: Divine Maid of Stars and Time

Seraphina’s aura was majestic, her silver hair shimmering like starlight. Her outfit was a blend of white and deep blue, decorated with celestial patterns. She held an ornate staff topped with a glowing star, and her eyes, glowing with ethereal blue light, reflected the endless cosmos. Seraphina specialized in manipulating the flow of time and drawing power from the stars, giving her control over fate’s threads just as Roselia did but from a cosmic perspective. Her calm demeanor belied the immense power she possessed, capable of halting time or summoning meteors from the heavens.

2. Valeria – The Dark Abyss Maid

Class: Shadow Maid of Death and Destruction

Draped in dark, elegant robes, Valeria’s presence was commanding yet elusive, as though the shadows themselves bowed to her. Her crimson eyes gleamed with malice, and her dark hair flowed like liquid night. In her hand, she carried a black scythe that shimmered with dark energy. Valeria was a maid of death and destruction, controlling the shadows and the abyss. Her abilities allowed her to manipulate life and death itself, drain the life force of enemies, and open voids into the dark abyss, where no light could reach. Her cold and stoic personality added to her mystique, but her loyalty was unquestionable.

3. Elara – The Nature Whisperer Maid

Class: Elemental Maid of Life and Earth

Elara exuded warmth and life, her hair a vibrant shade of green, and her attire made of living vines and flowers that seemed to pulse with energy. She was the embodiment of nature, with the ability to control plants, the earth, and life itself. Her presence brought calm and healing, and she could make entire forests come alive to protect her master. Elara had a gentle and nurturing personality, but her power over the earth was undeniable. She could summon massive trees or use the very ground as a weapon. Her connection to life allowed her to heal and regenerate wounds, making her a key figure in both offense and defense.

4. Isolde – The Frozen Empress Maid

Class: Frost Maid of Ice and Cold Winds

Isolde’s icy blue hair cascaded down her back, and her icy eyes seemed to pierce through to one’s soul. Her maid outfit was adorned with silver and frost-like decorations, shimmering with cold radiance. She carried a staff that seemed to freeze the air around her, her very presence chilling the room. Isolde had control over ice and the winds of the coldest regions, able to summon blizzards and freeze her enemies solid. Her demeanor was as cold as her element, but her devotion to Aiden was absolute. She could turn entire battlefields into frozen wastelands, and her mastery of ice made her a terrifying opponent.

5. Lunara – The Illusionary Dream Maid

Class: Psychic Maid of Mind and Dreams

Lunara had a soft, ethereal presence, her long lavender hair floating as if she was always in a dream. Her maid outfit was covered in mystic patterns, and her eyes glowed faintly with psychic power. Lunara specialized in controlling the mind and weaving illusions. She could enter the dreams of her enemies, control their thoughts, or even make them believe they were in a different reality entirely. Her power was subtle yet devastating, allowing her to manipulate the battlefield without ever lifting a weapon. Despite her psychic powers, she was kind-hearted and gentle, offering guidance and protection through her mental prowess.

6. Zephyra – The Stormbringer Maid

Class: Elemental Maid of Thunder and Wind

Zephyra was a fierce presence, her short, spiky blonde hair charged with static energy, and her maid outfit crackled with lightning as she moved. Her electric blue eyes gleamed with power, and the air around her seemed to ripple with the force of a coming storm. She was the embodiment of thunder and wind, controlling both to unleash devastating storms. Zephyra could summon tornadoes or lightning storms with ease, using the very forces of nature to destroy her enemies. Her personality was bold and brash, always ready for a fight, but her loyalty to Aiden was unshakable.

“You all are here,” Aiden said, glancing at the six new maids who stood before him in a neat line. Over the past year, he had summoned them, gradually accepting the strange summoning skill he once found peculiar. Initially, the idea of summoning maids felt out of place, but after becoming accustomed to the intricacies of dual cultivation, it no longer seemed strange to him. In fact, it had become another essential part of his power.

Aiden’s gaze shifted from maid to maid, each one embodying unique powers and laws he had not encountered in the women he had previously rescued. This was no accident; he had been selective, summoning only those who possessed abilities and laws that filled the gaps in his current knowledge and power.
