Samsara

A golden lotus bloomed. 

The dull region of Nirvana grew beautiful with bursts of brilliant colors.

Varian looked at the fading marks on the back of his palms with a calm gaze.

Winning Nirvana, he had regained the authority of Elysium and Purgatory.

"Come." Varian raised his arm.

The forbidden region shook violently before it merged back into one. Each region maintained its distinctiviness, but was now conneced to the others.

The authority of the three regions integrated into one and the entire forbidden region fell under Varian

As it did, the restrictions holding him in rank 2 dissipated.

Varian's power broke through the bottlenecks he long conquered and reached new heights in a brink.

This was his original strength, the strength which was suppressed by this region.
