Chapter 85 - Awaits the unknown

Caelum stood in front of an open land where the view was surreal and beautiful.

He had decided to buy a plot of land to make a new house after a week of Liliena's return from Japan. Caelum choose this place as it has what his mother loved to see, a beautiful garden.

"Alright, let's take this show on the road!"

He reached out his hands, a breathtaking three-storey mansion with a huge pool in the backyard overseeing the forest started to take shape. It had a lot of rooms, for his mom, sister, his harem and for future family members. Every room got its personal huge bathroom and a small kitchen. The third floor is Caelum's bedroom and it's pretty much the place that his harem will only sleep in.

His mother has already known about his relationship with sister and approved of it since they aren't related, but she still had a bitter tone when she said it. Caelum knew the reason for it but still remained silent, he doesn't want to ruin their relationship as a mother and son.

He also created a separate guesthouse and servant house, although the latter is for appearance sake only, since the so-called servants are pretty much his wives.

Caelum then created underground floors too.

The first one is gaming and otaku oriented; it's expanded with space magic to contain every anime, manga, novel, game console and game ever made.

The second one is music and art oriented; it's expanded with space magic to contain every musical instrument and an art studio.

The third one is an enchanted gym that has every fitness related tool and enchanted so it can be used by supernatural beings too.

The fourth one contains an indoor pool, sauna and spa.

The fifth one is a huge indoor cinema.

The sixth one is an infinite garage that has all kinds of enchanted vehicles.

He then added many enchantments inside and around the mansion like what he did to his company building in addition to an Angel Embrace enchantment that will be activated instantly the moments it detects and minor or major health problems, an anti-intruding barrier so no one can jump over the wall. Even if the world explodes the mansion won't be destroyed.

After constructing the mansion, he went back to where his family was sitting and watching him build their home. Liliena then moved quicker than the other women and gave them a smirk.

"Big brother, drink this."

He didn't hesitant to drink and felt quite refreshed even though he spent almost no energy from his near bottomless core.

"Tastes good! What is it anyway?"

"My bodily fluids."

[E/N: - ...*gulp*]

In an instant, Caelum spit the whole drink on the ground while coughing, his mother was in front him smiling wryly.

"PFFFT!!!!! What the hell!?"

"Just kidding, big brother."

[E/N: - No, she is not…]

Caelum sighed, he then went near her ear and whispered something that made her blush, but she still licked her lips.

"A naughty pet needs to be punished for messing with her master."

Caelum assigned the Pleiades to his new home to maintain it. Sakuya as the head maid while Sebas as her assistant.

He went inside his grimoire dimension to train his new bloodlines, The Ancient Kryptonian and The Ancestral Kitsune God. While the Ancient Kryptonian doesn't not change his appearance as it's more of a passive bloodline that is used in tandem with any of his forms, the Kitsune form gave him crimson red fox ears and ten crimson red tails. He could feel chakra similar to his Ancestor Otsutsuki bloodline.

Training for about half a year inside his dimension had allowed him to solidify his sea of consciousness even more getting closer and closer to gaining one.

Putting all the energy into his sea of consciousness, it slowly became solid then suddenly cracked and burst into an unbelievable power.

[WARNING!! HOST IS HAVING A RAPID BREAKTHROUGH!]

Caelum could feel his veins being cleansed while his dantian was slowly becoming golden. He could feel his body being reborn once more and due to his nirvana flames it was an easy breakthrough.

[Congratulations! You have ranked up to Grandmaster Stage.]

[Sea of Consciousness, Unlocked]

[Domain, Unlocked]

[Gained 2 Additional Purchased Bloodline Slots]

[Purchased bloodlines (Before Spiritual King Stage): 9/12]

Caelum grinned, but was confused as to why he broke through even though he was in a lower realm? He couldn't take his time to find an answer, from inside his inventory burst an old book that looked decaying yet radiated an overwhelming power.

It flew in front of Caelum then forced itself to enter his mindscape, floating on top of his World Energy Seed. As it opened, an explosion of energy flowed through his body. The pain was unlike any other, even the nirvana flames did not do shit.

[Five hundred seals of The Absolute Monarch Seals had been removed.]

Floating in his mindscape, he looked at his energies that were in chaos, Caelum instantly made a place for them that is less chaotic. Putting them in order made him feel that his energy output became automatic, he doesn't need to consciously switch energies when he uses skills as they will be used automatically.

He then looked at the Grim-Moonlight book that was radiating an unknown law and energy.

"System, what kind of energy is this?"

[ERROR! Can't be analyzed!]

"What? It doesn't even have the law of nothingness though!?"

He was really curious the capabilities of this book. Caelum observed the texts inside the book and felt that his mind was doing something that he doesn't know, infinitely.

"Hmm fuck it! As long it doesn't harm me. Hey system, can you tell me how did I breakthrough?"

[It was because the world inside the grimoire is higher than the world outside. This grimoire bypasses your limits because as you grow so does this grimoire.]

"What the fuck!? I'm pretty lucky that I chose Black Clover as my starting point then."

He exited his mindscape and felt as if everything was in the palm of his hand. Caelum then called Zihao Yu to test his domain, since Sapphire went shopping with his mother.

"Honey, you called?"

"Hi Yu, I was wondering, what do you think of my breakthrough."

He then enveloped her with his domain, it made her feel like she was trapped, even her laws didn't work.

"A-Amazing! This is beyond the use of domains! Even mine couldn't compare!"

"Thank you, I was lucky to have a breakthrough."

He laughed as he retracted the domain while Yu approached him then proceeded to strip herself.

"This calls for a celebration. The other girls are not here so it's our alone time."

Caelum grinned as they went do their activities. It was an amazing night since when he announced his breakthrough, his women gave him a really pleasurable night.

_______________________________

Caelum stood with his mother and lovers as they laid a flower in front of a tomb which had a name written on it. Adam Mercer.

Caelum stood lost in thought in front of the tomb of the man that taught him everything. Caelum wasn't sure if his father will be happy that he had a relationship with sister, but his mother told him he will not mind which eased his mind a bit, yet looking at his mother made it complicated.

Caelum knew his mother had feelings for him because of the harem parameter and he already vowed that he'll accept her feelings when the time comes.

'I don't care as long they are happy and I know you would agree with me dad.'

"Son, can I ask you something?"

"Sure, what's wrong?"

"A-are you able to revive your father?"

A silent heavy atmosphere enveloped the place. Celine had been informed by Acier and Licita that Caelum had revived both of them in their world.

Caelum could sense the guilt, uncertainty and hesitation in his mother's question. He took a deep breathe then answered.

"I can."

"Then c- "

"Wait, let me finish."

"…"

"My father's soul has already reincarnated into a rich happy family, if I were to revive him here that'll mean that I'll kill the current him, adding the fact that his memories of his past life were already erased and if I were to try to restore them some might get erased."

Hearing this, his mother started sobbing, Caelum clinched his fist and continued.

"However, the choice is yours, mom. Whatever choice you make, I'll support you."

Celine couldn't take it anymore and hugged Caelum tightly while crying her heart out. At the same time, she felt a burden that was weighing on her has been lifted, knowing that her husband is now living his life happily.

After they finished, Caelum returned to his company. He was managing the paperwork with a shadow clone and parallel thoughts while the original was reading a manga. His 'work' was interrupted by the sudden knock of his door so he dispelled the clone.

"Come in."

A woman opened the door with a huge stack of paper while not paying attention where she's headed to, so she almost tripped. Caelum swiftly moved and stopped her fall but not same for the papers.

"Are you alright?"

"Y-Yes! Thank you."

'Ain't this a cliché rom-com setting?'

[A/N: Shut up!]

"Let me help you."

Seeing his serious face while organizing the papers made the woman blush, she still hadn't got 3used to seeing his godly looks.

"Alright, you seem a little out today, Alice? Is everything alright?"

"N-Nothing, Mr.-I mean, Caelum."

"Are you sure? If you want, we could go on a date, it's a waste for a beautiful lady like you to work every day."

Caelum said teasingly as he left her in a stunned state, he took a seat and started looking at the papers she brought.

"Y-Yes!"

Caelum flinched from her answer since didn't expect his teasing would lead to this. She was his type no denying, but he thought it was a bit too fast.

"Are you sure? I have many women?"

"I-I was just wondering if we could get to know each other!?"

"Hehehe I see sure, I'm free on Sunday. Anyway how's the preparation for the auction?"

"Oh! Thank you for accepting!"

"Alice, calm down. Show me the status of the auction."

"Ah! Y-Yes, sorry. *cough* The auction is going smoothly since the founder will be present… if I may ask, who's the founder?"

"Ah! That would be my grandfather, he was the one who helped me buy the company and he will be the one that represent the company."

"Ah! I see, thank you for sharing."

"Don't worry about it. I won't be taking more of your time then."

She left while getting giddy as Alice had a crush on him because he was the only man that seems guanine and although he is a playboy and flirts with her a lot, he never looks at her with lust only appreciation.

After finishing his work, Caelum went home to do his usual routine of training with Liliena.

_______________________________

Philippines is one of the poorest countries in the world, yet due to the abundance of islands, it is a place where many foreigners host their fancy deals and auctions.

One of the said islands was hosting an auction for many artifacts from the past that are worth millions of dollars.

"The three of you make sure not to wander off!"

Said a man with slick hair and goatee wearing a black suit and a red tie. Behind him were three beautiful women.

The mature one had long black wavy hairstyle wearing a navy-blue dress and a pair of glasses.

The younger one had short hair, wearing a circular pair of glasses, acting timid and wearing a black dress

The older had a more confident vibe with her ponytail hairstyle and red dress.

"Are you Mr. Frederick Bleak and Mrs. Lena M. Bleak?"

"Yes, that would be me, don't you read the news?!"

"My apologize, but If you would please follow me to the lobby."

"Hmph! That person should be here or else I'll be wasting my time…you three make sure you don't talk to anyone or else."

The women shuddered as they were afraid of what he may do, his influence was far from what they can go against.

"Come Lena, Alya and Alizah."

All of them were forced to follow as they prayed that their nightmare will end and someone will torture this demon.

What they didn't know is that they won't have to wait for long….
