Cosmic Ruler - Chapter 536

Chapter 536: Omniversal Realm
Aiden inhaled.

This was a true world.

Not a mere planet. Not a single universe. Not even a vast cosmic expanse governed by ancient gods.

It was a world where power dynamics no longer stopped at galactic or universal levels—this place was a beyond-realm, a foundation for something greater. Here, universal-level beings were merely the new mortals, their once-absolute dominion reduced to but the first step.

And Aiden?

He had only just stepped into Stage One of this new reality.

He clenched his fist, feeling his power settling. Though his strength was unparalleled in the previous existence, here, he was at the beginning once more. A mere ember in a sea of stars.

Yet—he did not feel weakness.

He felt potential.

A New Hierarchy of Power—Transcending the Cosmos

Aiden turned his gaze to the distant horizon, where he could feel the presence of others stirring. He was not the only one who had made it here. Those who had broken free from the chains of fate—who had awakened from the illusion of destiny—were beginning to manifest in this world.

And beyond them… others were already here.

The weight of true cosmic existences pressed against the edges of his awareness.

This was no ordinary realm where gods reigned supreme.

No, those who ruled here were beyond gods, beyond fate, beyond the mere cycles of life and death.

If in his old reality, Universal-Level Entities were considered peak beings, then here, they were mere foundations—the lowest tier of true power.

A new power hierarchy was in place, and Aiden knew instinctively that the levels of existence were far beyond what he had previously imagined.

The Stages of Power in the Beyond-Realm:

Universal Sovereign Stage (Stage 1–5):

Those who can shape entire universes at will.

Control of laws, matter, and energy across vast expanses.

Where Aiden had just stepped into.

Cosmic Ascendant Stage (Stage 6–10):

Beings who do not merely rule universes but forge them.

Their presence alone reshapes the fabric of reality.

They command Omni-Laws, concepts even beyond universal logic.

Eternal Architect Stage (Stage 11–15):

Entities who exist beyond dimensions, crafting realms and entire multiverses.

Each thought they have is capable of spawning countless new planes of reality.

Primordial Genesis Stage (Stage 16–20):

True Ancient Beings who existed before the notion of time.

Capable of recreating existence on a fundamental level.

Their mere presence warps causality itself.

Unwritten Paragon (Beyond Stage 20):

Those who are not bound by logic, order, or even existence itself.

A being who is and is not at the same time.

Beyond comprehension, beyond limits, beyond definition.

Aiden’s heart pounded.

He had reset his own path, unknowingly stepping into the first stage of a far grander hierarchy. He had torn down fate itself, but in doing so, he had placed himself at the beginning of something even greater.

He was no longer just an anomaly in a predetermined world.

He was a contender in a completely new reality where fate had no hold.

The New World Stirs

A surge of energy rippled across the realm.

Aiden felt it immediately.

Others were awakening.

Some, like him, were beings who had broken free from their old worlds, awakened to a greater existence. But others…

Others were already here.

Ancient entities.

Gods who had surpassed godhood.

Forces that had never been bound by the illusions of lesser realities.

Aiden turned his gaze upward.

Far above, standing on floating citadels woven from the fabric of pure creation, he could see them—the true rulers of this world.

Their eyes flickered with amusement, intrigue, and, for some, predatory interest.

One figure, cloaked in a form that seemed both real and unreal, stepped forward from the highest peak, their voice carrying across the infinite expanse.

“Another newcomer. Interesting.”

Aiden felt their gaze lock onto him.

“Will you rise? Or will you be consumed?”

The ground beneath him trembled, a challenge woven into the very air itself.

And Aiden—

He smirked.

He had never been one to back down from a challenge.

This was just the beginning.

The new war of transcendence had begun.

And Aiden?

He would carve his name into this realm as the one who rewrote all possibility.

The air crackled with power.

Aiden could feel it—the weight of a true transcendent realm pressing against his very existence. Unlike his previous battles, where even fate itself tried to bind him, this place held no restrictions except one:

Survive.

The sky above was layered—universes stacked atop one another like flowing rivers of stars. The land below was not land at all, but something more abstract—a shifting foundation of reality itself, waiting to be claimed by those strong enough to define it.

And floating above the endless abyss of potential were them—the entities who ruled this place.

Aiden’s gaze locked onto the figure who had spoken.

They were neither man nor woman, neither god nor devil. Their form shifted with each passing moment, flickering through different existences. One second, they were clad in regal robes of flowing nebulae; the next, they wore battle-worn armor that shimmered with the essence of collapsed universes.

“Will you rise? Or will you be consumed?”

Their words still hung in the air like a decree.

And Aiden—

He grinned.

“Why don’t you find out?”

The moment he spoke, the world reacted.

The sky trembled. The ground shifted. The very concept of battle was etched into reality itself.

In this place, words were not mere sounds—they were commands.

And Aiden had just declared war.

—𝘍𝘞𝘖𝘖𝘚𝘏—!

A blade of pure celestial fire streaked toward him from above, burning hotter than any star he had ever witnessed.

Aiden moved—but space did not exist here in the way he knew it.

He did not dodge. He simply rewrote his position, willing himself to be elsewhere.

The flame sword struck the space where he had once been, but instead of dissipating, it rewound, forming into a spear and launching toward him again—faster this time.

“Time-based weaponry?” Aiden muttered, eyes flashing. “Annoying.”

He swung his sword.

It did not just cut the flame.

It denied it.
