"The Emperor called me shortly after you left," Emily said, sipping her tea as she looked at Orion.

Orion was surprised. "What did he say?"

She put her cup down on the table between them. "He first asked me about the situation at the dungeon and then told me not to leave."

Orion understood something from her words. "So, those old men must have contacted the Emperor about this," he said with certainty.

Emily nodded. "In fact, I was also planning to meet him regarding the restriction placed upon us, but it seems we can only stay here for now." A helpless expression appeared on her face.

Orion nodded. "It seems there\'s nothing we can do here." He sighed. He really wanted to go home right now, but it seemed he would have to wait for a month.

Thinking of home, he remembered and asked her, "So, have you told Father about the situation?"

Emily nodded lightly. "I have already conveyed everything you told me to Father, except the part you told me to keep a secret."

Orion sighed in relief when he heard her.

Now that his father knew the strength and background of the people coming for their family, he would definitely act accordingly and prepare something for emergency situations in case things got out of control.

Although Orion didn\'t know if his family had something that could help them against a behemoth of power such as the Archons, he believed it wouldn\'t be impossible for them to escape if they were prepared.

That was why he had killed Carl\'s group of four, so his family could get the time to prepare for everything that would go down a month later when the Archons would arrive.

"Big Sis, I am going to upgrade myself to silver rank, so I will meet you directly tomorrow morning," he informed her.

"Upgrade?" Emily nodded and asked, "So, have you prepared everything for that?"

Orion nodded.

Emily approved. "Alright."

After a little more talk with his sister, they had dinner in Elyn\'s room.

It turned out she was the one responsible for the dinner since Emily was busy in Emperor Heaven Palace.

Orion returned to his room after having his fill and began preparing for the upgrade.

He sat down on the floor and took out five peak gold rank cores.

\'Let\'s do this.\'

He began absorbing the mutagens from each of the cores, and soon his body began to shine with a golden light.

[Upgrade requirements met...]

[Initiating the upgrade to Silver Rank...]

Two notifications simultaneously popped up in his vision, but Orion wasn\'t in the mood to check them. Currently, he was experiencing pain beyond imagination. He felt that with each upgrade to higher ranks, the pain during the upgrade process continued to increase.

\'But this is nothing compared to the side effects of using Curse Transformation.\'

He was sure that the pain during Curse Transformation was much more intense than the pain during upgrades, but that didn\'t mean it was easy for him.

As time passed, his hands and legs began to melt. His torso also turned into a pool of blood, and only his head remained intact.

\'This again!\'

No matter how many times he went through this, he always found this part of the upgrade process the most horrifying. But there was nothing he could do besides holding on to his will.

Some time later, the process of reconstruction of his body finally began. All his blood, body parts, and everything around his head began to reconstruct themselves as the golden light glowing around them became intense.

Moments later, Orion could once again feel his hands and legs before three notifications appeared back-to-back in his vision.

[Congratulations to the host for upgrading to Silver Rank]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Sub-Ability of your talent]

[All stats and data of the host have been reset]

He didn\'t immediately check his stats and closed his eyes to feel the increase in strength. Only a moment later, he opened them, and an excited expression appeared on his face.

\'I have become way stronger than when I was at the peak of iron rank.\'

Orion could feel the immense strength coursing through his body like a raging bull; once unleashed, it would leave a devastating blow to everything.

\'With the curse transformation, could I match the platinum rank experts?\'

He wasn\'t sure about that.

After he used the Burst Mode in the dungeon, his strength increased tremendously for a period of time, but this gave him an estimate of how strong the platinum and diamond rank experts were.

Most importantly, there was indeed a dividing line between gold rank experts and platinum rank experts.

Since he had been living with his sister here for a few days now, he had learned a lot of things during this time, and one of the topics included the difference in strength between gold rank and platinum rank. She said it had something to do with the Grimshore and didn\'t say anything else.

She also mentioned how every being in the universe, whether the three foreign races or the human race, upgraded to the false platinum rank realm when Grimshore wasn\'t a thing.

The true platinum rank could only be obtained by experiencing Grimshore, and those who upgraded themselves to platinum rank without going through Grimshore were called false platinum rank experts.

There was a major difference between them.

A false platinum rank expert would never be able to upgrade beyond the diamond rank—no matter how hard they tried.

As for the true platinum rank experts, it was said they would be able to achieve the so-called legendary divine rank, which only a rare few people had ever reached.

It was also because of this that a thousand years ago, without the so-called Grimshore, all races had peak experts only at the diamond rank. They never expected a realm beyond diamond rank to exist before Grimshore came into existence.

Orion was surprised to hear such things at that time.

\'So my current strength should be infinitely closer to platinum rank...only closer to...\'

It would be very difficult to match the strength of the platinum rank at only silver rank, but Orion believed he could do it if his strength reached the peak of silver rank.

\'Should I test my strength with Big Sis?\'

He wondered, but at that moment, an intense headache came over him, causing him to clutch his head, but it went as swiftly as it came.

\'This is!\'

Orion was surprised to find some new information inside his head, and he understood where it came from.
