An Ascension with No Hope in Sight

There was absolutely no way to successfully ascend to the Supreme Stage Awakened through normal methods.

As an existence that had immersed himself in the Transcendent Stage for countless years and had long since tried every method of achieving ascension, Diagulaga knew this matter all too well.

After countless attempts and repeated experiments, most of the other Transcendent Stage Awakened had also become very clear about this matter.

They understood that so-called ascension was something countless times more ethereal than flowers reflected in a mirror or the moon reflected in water.

Unless... that so-called opportunity existed only once, and there was absolutely no way
