The moment the darkness receded, Levi felt as though he had been thrown into a rapidly spinning kaleidoscope.

The spatial rift behind them sealed shut, replaced by a torrent of colors that made one’s scalp crawl.

Not beautiful, dazzling colors—but sickly, twisted hues that instinctively made one want to vomit.

Red and blue overlapped at the same point. Green and violet devoured one another. Gold and black twisted together into bizarre spirals.

Every color was screaming.

Every color was trying to consume the others.

Their feet touched solid ground.

Beneath them floated a rocky platform, its edges shattered beyond recognition, its surface covered in charred burn marks.

The platform rotated slowly, yet there was no gravity pulling them in any particular direction.

Levi looked up.

There was no sky.

No earth.

No frame of reference whatsoever.

Countless massive fragments drifted through the void around them, like discarded toys tossed aside by some insane giant.

Some were shattered planetary cores, their interiors still flowing with molten, magma-like energy. Others were broken continental plates bearing the remnants of civilizations—collapsed buildings, twisted metal skeletons, streets weathered into dust. There were even half-burned stellar corpses, still radiating a dark crimson glow.

Tombstones left behind by dead universes.

Wanda steadied herself beside him, her face turning deathly pale.

She covered her ears with both hands, her body trembling slightly.

"It’s... so loud."

Pain filled her voice.

Levi knew exactly what she was sensing.

To his perception, this dimensional nexus was saturated with the dying screams of countless universes in their final moments.

Those voices weren’t carried through air.

They were carved into the folds of space.

Etched into fractures of time.

Embedded within the vibration frequency of every particle of energy.

For someone like Wanda, whose existence was tied to Chaos Magic, those voices were effectively screaming directly into her mind.

Even worse, the chaotic energies here were resonating with the Chaos Magic within her.

Dark crimson energy seeped from her fingertips, trying to answer those maddening calls.

Her breathing quickened.

Fine beads of sweat formed on her forehead. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

A golden-red light flashed through Levi’s eyes.

"Silence."

His voice wasn’t loud, but it carried unquestionable authority.

The Source of Dominion activated in full.

Centered on him, a transparent ripple spread outward like an invisible wave, forcibly defining the surrounding space as Order.

The raging energy storms.

The shrieking wails.

The maddening resonance.

The instant they touched the ripple, it was as if someone had pressed a mute button.

A perfectly still domain, one hundred meters in diameter, unfolded within the chaotic void.

Levi wrapped an arm around Wanda’s shoulders and pulled her into the protection of his domain.

"Better?"

Wanda took a deep breath.

Color gradually returned to her face.

Looking up at him, her eyes were filled with trust and dependence.

"Yeah. As long as I’m with you."

Levi smiled and gently brushed a hand across her cheek before turning away.

His gaze fixed on the depths of the ruins.

At the limit of his perception, beyond countless drifting cosmic wreckages and twisted spacetime fractures, stood something radiating a cold white light.

Like a lighthouse standing at the center of chaos.

The World Library.

"Let’s go."

Levi took Wanda’s hand and stepped into the void.

Each stride carried them thousands of kilometers.

"Let’s see what secrets are hidden inside the library that claims to record everything."

---

The two traveled through the ruins.

Levi expanded his domain to a radius of five hundred meters, shielding Wanda from most of the chaotic energy.

Even so, the strangeness of this dimensional nexus exceeded all expectations.

As they passed a drifting continental fragment, Levi noticed the remains of a city upon it.

The architecture was peculiar, composed entirely of geometric structures, every building glowing faintly.

Remnants of some long-dead advanced civilization.

Wanda couldn’t help taking a few extra glances.

Then she noticed the buildings were slowly melting.

Like candles.

They dripped into liquid before solidifying into entirely new forms.

The entire city was trapped in an endless cycle of death and rebirth.

She shivered.

"The laws of physics here are completely broken."

Levi nodded.

This nexus was essentially the multiverse’s garbage dump.

Every pruned timeline.

Every collapsed universe.

Every extinct civilization.

Eventually ended up here.

The fragments of reality they carried clashed with one another, eroding and corrupting each other until they created this ultimate realm of chaos.

Time held no meaning here.

As they passed the remains of a burning star, Levi clearly saw flames burning both forward and backward simultaneously.

Space held no meaning either.

Two fragments that appeared only hundreds of meters apart could actually be separated by light-years.

Or by less than a hundredth of a millimeter.

Even causality itself was distorted.

Moments ago, they had passed a metallic slab engraved with ancient text.

Wanda had looked at it out of curiosity.

The slab suddenly exploded apart.

Its fragments then flew backward and reassembled into a complete object.

As though her act of observation had retroactively caused its destruction.

Levi tightened his grip on her hand.

"Don’t focus on those details. Focus on me."

Wanda nodded and stopped looking around.

But the Chaos Magic inside her remained restless.

The concentration of chaotic energy here was simply too dense.

It felt like countless keys trying to unlock the door leading to the source of chaos within her.

Her breathing became uneven.

The crimson light around her fingertips intensified.

Levi stopped.

"Can you still handle it?"

Wanda bit her lip and nodded.

"I can. It’s just... the energy here is too chaotic. My magic keeps responding on its own."

Levi fell silent for a few moments.

If it couldn’t be suppressed, then it had to be guided.

He turned around and placed both hands on her shoulders.

His golden-red and silver-white eyes lit up simultaneously.

"Listen. Don’t resist the energy. Guide it."

Wanda blinked.

"But—"

"Trust me."

Levi interrupted her.

"The chaotic energy here is messy, but it’s fundamentally the same source as your magic. Instead of letting it batter your defenses, absorb it and make it your own."

He raised his right hand.

A golden magic circle appeared in his palm.

It was a stabilization framework woven from the Source of Dominion and the Law of Mind.

The circle gently pressed against Wanda’s chest.

Golden light flowed into her body, intertwining with her restless Chaos Magic.

"I’ll build you an absolutely stable core. Within this framework, you can safely absorb the chaotic energy here. It’ll automatically be filtered, purified, and integrated into your power."

Wanda hesitated.

Then she nodded.

Because she trusted him.

Completely.

Levi’s hand remained over her chest for several seconds.

The Source of Dominion and the Law of Mind operated simultaneously, weaving an unimaginably complex stabilization field.

It wasn’t merely a shield.

It was a self-regulating filtration system.

Any chaotic energy entering Wanda’s body would first pass through it.

The harmful portions would be stripped away.

The beneficial portions would be refined into pure Chaos Magic and merged into her source.

Wanda closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Levi could feel her stop resisting the incoming energy.

Instead, she actively guided it toward the golden circle.

The framework began operating like an intricate machine.

The violent energies were dismantled, reconstructed, and purified.

Dark crimson Chaos Magic swirled around Wanda, forming a miniature vortex that devoured the surrounding chaos.

Her aura began to change.

The unstable fluctuations that once surrounded her gradually became solid and steady.

Every strand of energy felt reforged.

Condensed.

Almost tangible.

Levi could clearly sense her Chaos Magic undergoing a qualitative transformation.

Like rough ore becoming a flawless gemstone under immense heat and pressure.

Her power level wasn’t skyrocketing.

But the quality of every ounce of power was increasing at an astonishing rate.

Several minutes later, Wanda opened her eyes.

A deeper crimson glow shone within them, like burning stars.

She raised a hand and stared at the magic gathered at her fingertips.

What had once been a vague cloud of red energy now took the form of clearly defined runes.

Each rune rotated slowly, emanating enough power to make space itself tremble.

"I... got stronger."

Her voice was filled with disbelief.

Levi smiled and withdrew his hand.

"This place may be chaotic, but it’s also an excellent training ground. As long as you’re controlling the energy instead of letting it control you."

Wanda looked at him, rose onto her toes, and gently kissed him on the lips.

"Thank you."

Levi wrapped an arm around her waist and kissed her back.

Then they continued forward.

This time, Wanda no longer relied entirely on Levi’s protection.

She could actively absorb the surrounding chaotic energy and convert it into her own strength.

The crimson glow around her grew increasingly intense.

A small independent domain even began forming around her.

---

After traveling farther, the cold white light ahead grew closer and clearer.

Finally, they saw it.

The World Library.

But it wasn’t the kind of building Levi had imagined.

There were no walls.

No roof.

No doors or windows.

Instead, it was a colossal crystal tower suspended upside down in the void, formed from countless glowing runes.

The tower possessed a translucent crystalline texture.

Inside flowed innumerable streams of golden light, like information highways operating at impossible speeds.

Every beam carried immeasurable fragments of knowledge, flashing with dizzying brilliance.

The tower narrowed as it rose upward.

At its top—or perhaps its bottom—floated a gigantic rune core radiating an ancient aura powerful enough to make the entire dimensional nexus tremble.

The core resembled a beating heart.

Each pulse sent ripples through space.

Tiny rune fragments continuously separated from it and then rejoined it in an endless cycle.

Levi halted.

The level of existence embodied by this library far surpassed anything he had ever encountered.

Even the Source Wall seemed insignificant before it.

Because the Source Wall was merely the boundary of the multiverse.

This library recorded the multiverse itself.

Wanda stood beside him, staring up at the inverted crystal tower in stunned awe.

"This... is really a library?"

Levi nodded.

"Black Swan’s memories weren’t lying. This is the World Library—the ultimate archive that records every moment, every timeline, and every choice across the multiverse."

He drew a breath and continued forward with Wanda.

The closer they got, the greater the pressure became.

It wasn’t hostility.

It was overwhelming disparity in existence.

Like an ant standing beside an elephant, instinctively sensing the terror of the size difference.

The two stopped five hundred meters from the crystal tower.

Levi was about to move closer—

"Stop."

A voice echoed through the void.

It had no tone.

No gender.

No emotion.

It was as though the universe itself had spoken.

Space solidified.

Not frozen.

Defined into a state of absolute stillness.

The Source of Dominion within Levi activated automatically, attempting to break free.

The moment it did, a greater force suppressed it.

Levi frowned.

This was the first time since becoming a multiversal-level powerhouse that he had been restrained so effortlessly.

Then a figure emerged beneath the crystal tower.

A giant composed entirely of knowledge.

At least three hundred meters tall.

Its body was made of endless runes, formulas, diagrams, and equations that continuously reorganized, evolved, and calculated.

It had no face.

Only a smooth spherical head covered by flowing streams of information.

The Recorder of Truth.

Guardian of the World Library.

It floated before Levi and Wanda, looking down upon them.

Though it had no eyes, Levi could clearly feel it examining him.

Not merely his body.

But his soul.

His source.

Even his past and future.

Everything was laid bare before that invisible gaze.

"Mortals. Why have you come here?"

The voice remained emotionless, yet carried unquestionable authority.

Levi raised his head and met the faceless giant’s gaze.

"I want to enter the library."

Silence followed.

The runes covering the Recorder of Truth accelerated, as though performing calculations.

Its massive form tilted slightly.

The spherical head moved closer, stopping less than a hundred meters from Levi.

The information streams flowing across its surface suddenly accelerated, forming bands of light that circled Levi and Wanda.

Levi could feel every cell in his body, every strand of energy, every memory he possessed being scanned, analyzed, and cataloged.
