Chapter 250: Worshipped - Rebirth Abilities For Everyone
-----
While Zorba and the sect members all knelt and worshipped Louis, his friends remained standing in awe and disbelief, their eyebrows twitching.
"Um, just what the hell happened?" Timothy asked.
"They were gone for months! I was getting worried and then they return as... giants?!" Anastasia asked.
"I-Incredible..." Agustina swallowed hard. "L-Louis? Is that really him? H-He... he's a dragon... now... wow..."
"Woooow! So awesome!"
"Yeah! This is incredible!!!"
Selene and Melisa were both amazed and in awe, their eyes sparkling with child-like wonder and fascination at what they were witnessing.
"Be at ease, everyone," Louis's voice echoed through the skies.
"We've returned after going through a great journey together..." Mirai tried to act majestic like Louis.
"It was a long journey, but we're back... a lot has happened so it would be better if we explain things," Louis said. "Let's gather together in the Great Hall."
Louis and Mirai quickly returned to their human bodies, which felt almost weird or wrong because they had been monsters for so long.
They greeted their friends and the disciples and joined in the Great Hall of the Golden Palace, where the disciples had already gathered an enormous feast for their return.
While eating, they explained to them all what they had gone through and who they had just defeated, shocking them.
They also revealed a lot of new information about their enemy and who was targeting them, which could have likely been the one at fault for trapping them here and completely isolating them from the Academy.
It was just a lot to process, and it took them hours to understand everything, but even after learning all of that, they were still shocked beyond belief about what Louis and Mirai had accomplished, something nobody here ever thought possible.
"S-So you've ascended into Tier 4 Spiralwalkers AND also evolved..." Timothy muttered. "Ooookay, what the fuck? Okay... no, what the fuck?!"
"Calm down Timothy," Anastasia sighed. "It's incredible what happened, congrats... And I wish we could've helped with the Venerable... we've been growing much stronger but... maybe it wasn't enough?"
"No, perhaps we could've asked for help, we just wanted to take on the challenge on our own," said Louis. "I can already see by your Auras that you've continued training and cultivating every day... I might have been too harsh on all of you, you've already shown me you're great yourselves."
Indeed, in just two months everyone was now a Heavenly Being! It was amazing, although it also helped them that Louis taught them the Energy Transfer Method, so the disciples helped them by transferring their Qi and Understanding, accelerating their growth alongside the hundreds of elixirs and pills they were eating.
"Still, the foe we might fight in the incoming battle may require even more training..." Louis said.
"A-Are you kidding me?! Aren't you two god-like now?" Timothy wondered. "Well, technically we're god-like too I guess? Okay, demigod-like."
"But perhaps what we'll fight is even stronger," said Mirai. "The Venerable we battled was already weakened by a different force... I... well, I guess it's time you reveal to them the truth, right?"
"The Venerable's dead, his eyes have been vanquished, yes, that feeling I had of dread whenever I was about to reveal the truth is gone too," Louis nodded. "Very well."
Louis told everyone the truth about his powers and his Regressions, and the correlation they might have with his newly awakened Heart of Time, a strange relic that the Venerable called "Multidimensional Treasure".
Once more, they were all left perplexed and awed, realizing how much Louis had suffered and died and everything else... it truly was heartbreaking, but also revealing.
The disciples present and the elders, even the sect masters. They learned the truth of Louis' deaths and what he had experienced, and also how he knew so much about their world, as he had experienced it in some kind of parallel world or dream he had accessed.
He finally learned why that even happened too, when he consumed the soul of Yang, the "Archived world fragment" that the Venerable had left in every single soul of these people in the Immortal Mountain absorbed his soul back, throwing Louis into this already archived world.
Thus, after finding out he had transmigrated into this world, the Venerable came to destroy it and immortalize it once more, and of course, to eliminate him.
This is what truly happened, meaning that that world was really real, and so all the years he spent with these people.
"So this entire time you've been suffering this much, dying and coming back, all for our sake and the kingdom?" Anastasia wondered. "Louis..."
"Well, damn," Timothy muttered.
"Will you keep doing that?" asked Agustina, looking conflicted. "Is it really fine for you to do that again?"
"I am not sure," Louis said. "But if I die, Agustina, what other option would I have?"
"..." Agustina fell silent, knowing full well what Louis meant.
"I see, so those memories I experienced... it all makes sense now," Zorba nodded with an understanding expression, his eyes filled with sorrow for Louis' struggles and suffering. "You've been suffering a lot, Lord Louis... I... I don't know if I can offer any sort of comfort with my words, but I want you to know that no matter the timeline, I will always remain by your side and help you."
"Thank you, Zorba," Louis nodded. "I know you want to leave, and that you want to reunite with your families... It won't take long, another two more days. I will accelerate the time of this realm to its absolute limit. We'll spend two more years together."
"T-Two years?!" Timothy screamed. "I'm going to go insane!"
"I'm sorry, but you cannot escape me," said Louis. "You can release all your madness and anger at me, and I will take it, but I won't let you leave unless I know you're strong."
"Ugh!" Timothy clicked his tongue, he wanted to kill Louis for being such an insane hard worker, but he couldn't even touch him.
"I guess there's no other option..." Anastasia sighed. "Ugh, two years huh? I'm going to go a little crazy too."
"As long as we're together, I'll be fine," Agustina shrugged.
"I could spend hundreds of years training if its necessary..." Zorba said. "So please don't worry."
"Umm... isn't that a lot?" Melisa asked.
"We'll have even more time to explore and adventure around!" Selene said.
"Yaaaaay!" both girls loved the idea.
Mirai and Louis glanced at one another and nodded.
After the feast, they told their friends to go to rest, and both of them decided to also sleep after such an arduous day.
Honestly, they were incredibly exhausted, and once they got to their large and comfortable bed, something they'd been missing since they were monsters for months, they fell asleep right away.
♢♢♢♢
The next morning arrived with Louis waking up first, the sound of birds outside, the sun, and the calm wind all seemed to exude tranquility and peace, even though the looming threats of the Venerables and Oblivion remained ever present in his heart.
Leaving Mirai still sleeping, he walked towards the balcony, completely alone, as he sat down in a lotus position and started to meditate, slowly mediating his own powers and beginning to understand them better, combining them together.
Slowly, his system status emerged before his eyes, revealing to him that his status as both a Dragon and a Spiralwalker, a human, were now merged into an even bigger one.

♢♢♢♢
It was a massive list, but it combined everything he was into one. It made Louis feel complete somehow, as he read everything.
He had also noticed his new Tier name, Unwritten Tyrant, and he felt it carried some sort of mystery to it, one thing he would have to uncover himself in the future.
The Ability had also not manifested yet either, it seemed he would need to put some more effort into it for it to finally emerge.
His stats, of course, had skyrocketed to over a million each, a ridiculous growth as he evolved rapidly as a dragon, fusing this growth with his original growth to create something incredible.
"I am finally a dragon..." Louis smiled, thinking about such a thing. "But at the same time, I am trapped here... fighting against beings that could crush me easily even as one... hahaha, how ironic."
Louis laughed at his own misfortune, shaking his head before deciding to begin his day by going to wake up Mirai.
"Mirai, time to wake up, sleepyhead," he said, whispering into her ears.
"Hmm?" she slowly opened her eyes, and then noticed Louis close to her, kissing her face. "Ahh... L-Louis...? What hour is it? Is it too late?"
"Not too late," Louis said. "But it's time to wake up, the day is finally about to begin. Let's go take a bath together, then we have breakfast and lastly, we begin the training for real."
"Aw... okay..." Mirai yawned, smiling at Louis. "Good morning."
Louis saw her beautiful face, her long, slightly messy black-red hair, and her gentle eyes.
Although he had been developing feelings for her this entire time, something in his heart just awakened in that moment.
Perhaps a realization of a much stronger feeling.
And...
Now that he had grown so much and developed so much, perhaps a loss of fear, of hesitation.
"Mirai... once this is over, you will become my bride."
"...Eh?"
Mirai grew as red as a tomato, steam coming from her ears.
"W-What do you mean with that?"
"Hm? I mean what I mean... you don't want to become my wife?"
"...!!!"
Mirai jumped out of the bed so fast she struck the ceiling.
CRASH!
"Mirai?!"
Louis gasped as he saw her hanging from the ceiling, her head was stuck.
"Ugh... m-my head is stuck... help..."
"Hahaha..."
Louis laughed lightly, shaking his head and flying to bring her down, gently carrying her in his arms.
"What was that?" he asked.
"I-I... I was just... it came out of nowhere you know?!" Mirai asked.
"Sorry..." Louis said. "I just wanted... to tell you that I loved you in my own way. I want to have a future with you, Mirai."
"Me too," she smiled, caressing his face. "Let's fight for that future, shall we?"
"Yeah."
And from that day onward, their training with everyone else began.
Weeks turned into months.
And then months into years.
The primary teaching that Louis and Mirai taught to everyone else was how to awaken both aspects of their Spirals and then the complete Spiral, the Spiral of Fate.
It was incredibly hard at the beginning, but slowly, thanks to their guidance, they learned the ropes slowly, one by one.
After awakening the True Spiral, they were also able to connect them using Louis Triple Core Method, which he taught to them.
Although it was incompatible to non-dragons, Louis fed everyone his blood, allowing them to become his Dragonborns, sharing his dragon bloodline and partially inheriting some of his abilities, magic, affinities, and even increasing their stats.
By carrying his powerful bloodline, they learned the method and fused it with everything else, connecting their growth and rapidly growing exponentially.
Like Louis and Mirai, after hitting Tier 5, they unlocked the Spiral of Fate's Ability for "Evolution" which was a shared trait with everyone.
Timothy gained the Plant Rebirth Ability.
Agustina gained the Metal Rebirth Ability.
Anastasia gained the Ice Rebirth Ability.
Zorba gained the Undead Rebirth Ability.
Melisa gained the Avian Rebirth Ability.
And Selene gained the Beast Rebirth Ability.
Using them, they evolved from small creatures into larger and stronger beings, hunting the wild monsters of the Immortal Realm as they further expanded.
Eventually they also visited new islands and continents that rose, allowing them to level up plentifully through this entire ordeal.
Louis and Mirai taught them many things, and through this, they also learned many things themselves.
They learned to better channel the power of the Venerable, rapidly growing stronger as they decided what to do with the Damaged Spirals.
They were Fragments, so at the end, they just divided them into two each, obtaining one fragment of each Spiral anyway.
Like previously stated, these three Spirals had certain specializations.
The Spiral of the Justice Enforcer specialized in ruling, defending, and manipulating fate, while also enforcing justice upon others, forcing their fates and rewriting them ultimately.
The Spiral of the Minder Bender was about creating illusions, manipulating minds, brainwashing, expanding one's mind and dividing one's consciousness, expanding it endlessly.
And the Alternate Paths Spiral was related to traveling between dimensions, conquering dimensions, creating dimensions, and more.
In their fragmented, weakened states, they weren't the strongest and all of that but... it wasn't so bad. They were still plenty strong and granted Louis and Mirai new abilities to further expand their Authorities within the Fantasium Dimension.
Although not quite Tier 0 anymore, they were powerful.
Time passed, and two years later, everyone had changed quite a lot, gaining new powers as monsters and then fusing them with their current selves, unlocking an immense growth like nothing thought before.
They were yet to reach Tier 4, but at Tier 5, they were already immensely powerful! They had also evolved through their monster leveling journeys, reaching Rank 7.
Meanwhile, Louis had been hunting monsters as well and accumulating EXP and Leveling but his Level has barely surpassed 230/400, there was still a long way to go for him.
"It took a while but... we're done, goddamn it," sighed Timothy, now a young adult completely, looking rather handsome and... being incredibly muscular as well, wrapped on wooden armor, plants, flowers, and more growing from him.
"Indeed, but it was gratifying to evolve as a monster..." Anastasia smiled, she had ice scales and armor around her body, and ice fairy wings behind her back.
"It's time... we've been training diligently, all this time!" Agustina said, she now had metallic horns at each side of her head, and her skin had become slightly red, her Spiritual Furnace had evolved even further, many times with her.
"Hmm, we're completely different... I wonder if with this power, it is possible to make any difference at all?" Zorba wondered, smiling calmly. He had gained many undead-like traits now, and ultimately also evolved from a skeleton into a zombie, ghoul, and lastly vampires of various ranks and levels.
"We're ready! Awooooo!"
"Super ready!"
Selene and Melisa were ready for a while now. Selene had evolved into various wolf-like beasts, ending in a powerful series of mighty werewolf evolutions. Lastly, Melisa went for avian and beautiful bird appearances.
"Thank you for training with us for two years, everyone," Louis said. "Now, it's finally time! Let's move!"
After two years, House Frostbane finally exited their training and in the outside world, only two days passed.
And they all... at long last, landed in the desert, and from there, they moved rapidly through the dungeons, solving each layer.
In the Seventh Layer, the Endless Tropical Beach, they traveled the seas, hunted giant beasts, and found the boss already dead once more.
In the Eighth Layer, the Skybound Heaven, a world of winds and vast seas of clouds with floating continents as cities.
In the Ninth Layer they were in a vast Necropolis, fighting their way against undead and their endless troops led by liches in castles. They had to take them all down first, and they also found wi-fi doesn't work.
And lastly, they stood before the Tenth Layer, entering it and taking in the view.
"Woooaaah!"
"What's this?!"
"Wait, are we inside the same dungeon?"
"N-No way...!"
Everyone was flabbergasted as they saw a gigantic, vast, modern city from ancient times, before the Dimensional Convergence.
It was an authentic urban city from the mid 2020s, not affected by the structural fashion of Yggdrasil, Zipangu, or Spiritias.
The sky was bright blue, with white clouds and a bright sun, there were... also tall skyscrapers with advertisements in words Louis could not understand.
And of course the "monster", humans.
They were all humans!
To their shock, these humans wore clothes from those times, looking incredibly plain and simple in comparison to nowadays people.
What's more, the sky and the atmosphere was clean, there was no miasma, no magic, no Fantasium, just people.
Cars from these times moved across the streets, there were vendors selling food from these ancient times, and people had those old phones as well, instead of smartwatches where the people of the present accessed internet through holographic windows.
It felt both old and... somehow, futuristic as well, like they were witnessing a piece of living history. Louis knew about the Tenth Layer, he had visited it many times through the Sinners Academy Game whenever a new Dungeon Game began.
"Welcome to the Tenth Layer," he said with a calm voice. "The Modern Metropolis."
As Louis and his friends stood above a tall skyscraper watching the vast city and feeling the nice breeze, they analyzed their surroundings in surprise.
"It's like we've traveled back in time," Timothy said. "This is the Earth my parents talk about... Before the Dimensional Convergence and everything. Just humans living their lives, they had other problems they say, but nothing like worrying about monsters coming to eat you."
"Only humans, huh?" Anastasia wondered, watching the city. "I guess I wouldn't have been born in such a world..."
"Me neither I guess..." Agustina sighed. "Regardless, it's nice to see the ancient infrastructure of the ancient humans... but wait! Why is this even a Dungeon?!"
"It's similar to the Immortal Mountains?" wondered Zorba. "Which is rather unique, before this, the other layers we went through... they were all mostly just the forces of nature and wild beasts... to think the Tenth Layer, supposed to be the hardest, is this..."
"Why though?" Anastasia asked. "Why... does every layer feel like a world on its own?"
