Infinite wealth In A New World - Chapter 325
Chapter 325: Future Enemy
[Supreme World.]
[Angel Domain.]
The crystalline sky above the Angel Domain fractured. A massive, invisible force tore open the very fabric of Supreme World space, and a hand, carved from flawless marble, stretched forth. The entire body followed: a man of startling, inhuman beauty, with flowing golden hair and piercing, emotionless silver eyes. He moved his gaze across the domain, observing the ten angels—all Tenth Order powerhouses—who instantly rushed toward the anomaly.
The first angel, their leader, halted ten feet away, his gaze locked on the intruder. “Who are you?!”
The man tilted his head slightly, his expression flat, radiating an absolute absence of fear or urgency.
”Get me, Aurelia,” he spoke, his voice as smooth and resonant as silk.
Calling their Queen’s name with such cold familiarity, treating the ruler of a Supreme World domain like an errand girl, instantly enraged the ten Tenth Order Angels.
”How dare you disrespect the Queen!” one hissed.
The ten shot towards him, a coordinated strike from the pinnacle of this realm’s power.
”Useless.”
The man simply flicked a finger. Nine Tenth Order powerhouses—the most formidable fighting force in the Angel Domain—instantly dissolved, shattering into dust and ethereal particles. Only the leader remained, frozen in horror.
”Who… What the hell are you?!” he screamed, his rank-ten power utterly useless.
”I knew I detected an unstable entity in my domain.”
The surviving angel and the stranger turned as Aurelia descended, her six magnificent wings beating slowly behind her. She hovered in the air, her face rigid as she took in the impossible, horrifying destruction of her best fighters.
”I would have dealt with you for killing some of my finest… but I discover I cannot,” she said, her eyes narrowed. She recognized the chilling truth instantly. “Because you have fully mastered a Law. So tell me, Law Master, why are you here?”
”I am hunting,” he replied, his silver eyes sweeping the domain, searching. “And I think you know who I am hunting, or perhaps I should say, the three I am hunting.”
”I don’t even know you,” Aurelia muttered, her gaze fixed on his every movement. Though she understood her inability to defeat him, she would not be complacent.
The man returned his gaze to her, a slight, almost imperceptible frown forming, which then vanished, replaced by a devastating smile that didn’t reach his eyes.
”So sorry for the impoliteness. I cannot tell you my name, but I can tell you my title. I am the Heaven of Space. I am here to save your world by securing the ones I am hunting.”
”What?” Aurelia’s confusion was clear.
”The ones I am hunting are evil, criminals of the highest order,” the Heaven of Space explained, his voice flat with conviction. “If they are not checked, all your worlds will be destroyed. By handing them over to me or giving me their location, you will help your realm greatly.”
’He must be referring to the Three Heavens who just descended… But what does he mean they are evil? Are the Heavens, the cosmic arbiters, truly criminals?’ Aurelia thought, a deep frown forming.
”I don’t even know you. Why would I tell you anything?” she challenged.
The Heaven of Space raised an eyebrow at her resistance. “You don’t have a choice. You will either answer me, or you will watch your world be destroyed by the three criminals I am looking for.” He moved his gaze around the entire domain.
”Your little world is a good one. It would be a tragedy to see it get destroyed.” He turned, and with a casual wave of his hand, a crack appeared in space, revealing the absolute blackness of the Void within.
”Wait… Are the ones you’re searching for truly evil?” Aurelia asked, a final, desperate question.
The Heaven of Space looked at her over his shoulder, his silver eyes inscrutable. He flicked a finger, and a pendant bearing the symbol of a phoenix appeared before Aurelia, hovering in the air.
”If you sense any anomaly that isn’t from your world, or any foreign energy—specifically three distinct, primal energies—just put a bit of your energy into that pendant, and I will locate you.” He gave a curt, formal nod. “I will leave your world now.”
Without answering her question about their alignment, he entered the void, and the cosmic cracks sealed shut, leaving only silence and the lone, terrified angel behind.
”What should we do now, My Queen? He is surely after the Three Heavens,” the Fox familiar muttered, emerging from Aurelia’s shadow.
Aurelia clenched the phoenix pendant in her hand, her gaze filled with chilling resolve. “No matter what, he mustn’t find them. I have a feeling the Three Heavens are related to Sunny. That is the only logical explanation for my destroyed Infinite Egg.”
She looked at the pendant, her grip tightening with killing intent. “He called the Three Heavens criminals, and claims they will destroy our realm. He doesn’t know I am already bonded to their existence.”
”Correction, My Queen… You’re bonded only to the residual power of one—the egg’s essence.” The Fox corrected cautiously.
Aurelia glared at her. ‘It doesn’t matter. I will get what I want. The potential of the Heavens is the ultimate backer against those old fools in my Domain.’ She stared at the space the Heaven of Space had occupied.
‘I must get stronger. If the Heavens are the key, I will find them before he does.’

[Supreme World. Lilith’s Domain.]
”Why do I have this unsolicited visitor?” Lilith sat back on her obsidian throne, staring at the Heaven of Space with a calculating frown. Her five beautiful Demonesses stood below her, their hands poised on their weapons.
The Heaven of Space moved his gaze across the extravagant throne hall and offered a slight, formal nod. “Your home and strength immediately prove your status. I will get straight to the point. I am the Heaven of Space, and I’m on a search mission, looking for three powerful criminals—beings who are not from this world. I want to know if you have seen, felt, or heard anything.”
He continued, his tone implying her knowledge was a given. “I know our existence isn’t unknown to you. So you must already know what I am asking.”
”Three criminals? Can I know anything about them? And why would they only send you?” Lilith asked, resting her jaw on her palms, a playful, deceptive smile curving her lips.
”The three criminals are exceptionally dangerous. They could destroy your realm if they are not secured,” he stated. “I have been hunting them for years, across different lifetimes. I momentarily lost their trail…” He paused, his expression solemn.
“What I am saying is simple: if you know anything, tell me and save your world from this coming calamity.”
”Okay… Have you visited anyone else in this realm? Asking them about this?” Lilith asked, feigning innocence.
”No. You’re the first,” he lied smoothly, flashing a bright, disarming smile. “I figured meeting someone beautiful, smart, and wise like you is the best thing to do.”
”Thank you for the compliment, but I don’t know anything about your criminals,” Lilith said, relaxing into her throne, her decision made.
The Heaven of Space nodded, and with a snap of his fingers, the same phoenix pendant appeared, floating toward Lilith, who stared at it with a frown.
”That is my mark. You can reach out to me by placing a bit of your energy into it,” he explained, giving a small bow.
”Hmm… Okay, I will keep an eye out,” she replied.
”I will be waiting for your reply.”
With that, the space tore open behind him. He turned, walked into the swirling Void, and disappeared from the domain.
”Great Mother, do you believe him?” Agora asked in confusion.
Lilith waved her hand, and a gust of wind blew the pendant away, sending it clattering harmlessly to the edge of the throne hall entrance.
”You can sweep that outside,” she commanded, then lowered her gaze to Agora. “He is lying. Not only that, the Three Heavens are a lot stronger than him. He has chased them through countless worlds and even life times, and he still couldn’t defeat or stop these so-called criminals.” She shook her head lightly.
”He is also working under someone more powerful, that’s why I wasn’t disrespectful. We don’t know how powerful the one behind him truly is. For now, we keep a low profile.”
”So, the battle against the God Wolf?”
”Don’t worry about that, Shadow,” Lilith said, her playful smile returning as she licked her lower lips.
“No matter what cosmic trouble we are facing, we will never forget God Wolf. I still need him here.”
The Heaven of Space was undeniably powerful, and he served an even more terrifying Master, but Sunny was an asset she could manipulate and exploit.

[At the Edge of the Gods’ Domain, the First Domain.]
The Heaven of Space materialized 100 miles away from the shimmering light barrier protecting the Mother of Gods’ territory. He stood motionless, deep in thought. The First Domain was fundamentally different from the rest, saturated with ancient, infuse energy.
’With the rumors back home… she is the only one in this world qualified to master a Law. The rest are strong, but ultimately useless.’ he mused. He fixed his gaze on the barrier.
‘Offending or manipulating her now isn’t wise. If she truly masters a Law, it will be difficult to recruit her or bypass her defenses.’
He turned around, tearing the space before him.
”I will go back and report,” he muttered to himself. “If I don’t receive any news from those two in three years, I will personally lead my army here to search for those three.” He vanished into the Void.
_
Unbeknownst to him, the Mother of Gods was watching his every move through a seamless magic mirror woven into the stars.
’Why would he take that long to attack? Three years? Would he be preparing his army? And what army can such a terrifying being command?’ she whispered, her gaze emotionless and calculating. ‘I need to know who the Three Heavens are and what their Laws are. Then, and only then, can I truly protect my realm.’
