Winks kneeled before the Supreme, the white coat he wore which had been unsullied even with his merciless slaughter kissing the dirt of the earth gladly. His expression was similar to that of a diehard fan meeting his favourite celebrity for the first time in his life. His reverence was not faked, and his respect was authentic.The woman he knelt before, the 5th Supreme, was as beautiful as the word itself. Her hair flowed down freely, suspending narrowly above the floor. Those lovely green locks were more alluring that the green of the most magnificent tree, and they smelled like sweet pollen. Her complexion was as fair as the palest jade, and her long floral gown swept around her generous curves like a scarf around the slender neck of an alluring woman.Although her face was concealed by a mask, Mane could tell that she was beautiful simply by the aura she exuded. Even with True Eyes his pupils could not pierce the opaque mask that kept her face hidden, but his instincts told him th
“He finally did it,” 1st sighed in remorse within Mane’s mindscape.There was a sombre atmosphere different from the usual silence that usually covered the place. It seemed that Mane’s use of Chaos without Lease had not impacted just Reiki, but his masters as well. The 9 who were usually stonewalled regardless of the circumstances were shaken by what they had seen. They who had remained unfazed even when faced with the threat of being imprisoned for all eternity were now afraid. They were scared for the universe; but most importantly, they were terrified for their student.“I was hoping that the prophecy was false,” 3rd chuckled bitterly, her voice nothing like the jovial and high-spirited 3rd Master that Mane knew.As mentioned before, there were several prophecies about the 7th Supreme. There was one that was not considered by most because of the ridiculousness of its words, but the masters remembered it all the same. It was a prophecy that said,“Awakened war in another realm, the
Fenrir stared down upon the puny gods who dared stop it. It was so vast in size that the entire sky could not hold it. Its form towered above the clouds and into the space that surrounded this once bustling planet; yet while Fenrir was a giant, his sister, Jormungandr, was bigger still. The World Snake coiled around the planet like it was nothing but prey to be consumed. Just like Fenrir, it looked down upon the gods coldly, its eyes fixed onto the God of Thunder and Lightning.These two beasts were capable of destroying an entire universe, and they were meaning to do so from the moment they had stepped forward to fight; yet at this moment, there was hesitation in those large eyes of theirs. The Beasts of Chaos who willed the dastardly fragment of nature so freely were hesitating to move forward, and that was because of the man who was knelt next to the Supreme.No, they weren’t looking at the Cold Emperor. They didn’t care about the old man whose entire being was dependent on the 5th
It was said that it was a very dangerous thing to offend a woman, and a cruel act to hurt a child. Offending a woman will birth a grudge that would last several generations. It was in the interest of a man to remain on the good side of a woman; and it took a foolishly brave man to annoy a woman. What about children? Hurting a child was a sin that could not be easily forgiven, for children were incapable of protecting themselves. Causing them harm of any kind turned the hands of fate towards the path of retribution and destruction for whomsoever the offender was. What then would happen if a child was capable of protecting himself? What then would come about from a child who had the power to overturn the world?“Was showing him this memory the right thing to do?” Reiki wondered as he watched the very obvious figure of the 7th Supreme. Never had he seen a child exhibit such killing intent in his entire lifespan. The vengeance that swirled in the eyes of the boy was akin to the dangerous
“Loki, tell your children to stand down. Remind them that they are the blood of your blood and the flesh of your flesh.” The 5th Supreme spoke softly, but there was no room for negotiation in her voice.While she hated her actions, she knew that Winks was right. How could she possibly waver now that she had come this far. She had already sided with Ra and the others when they stated that they wanted to pressure Asgard so that Loki would be given up. She had led that siege in fact, and it was her presence that had forced the Allfather to succumb to the raucous pressure of those whom he formerly assumed were friendly rivals. Having done all this, was it now that she was going to show her remorse? Looking at the eyes of Ra and the Jade Emperor, the 5th Supreme could not help but sigh silently. She knew that if she stood back now, the alliance that they had formed would crumble. Odin may be wise, but he was still a father. As long as the factor known as the Supreme was not included, he wo
“The next time you touch my brother, I will kill you,” Thor threatened, reaching down for Loki and pulling him up.Bringing him over to his side, Thor supported his brother and said, “Are you okay, little brother?”“Hehe. Your bullying during our childhood stung stronger!” Loki laughed, and Thor laughed in relief seeing that his brother did not hold it against him for failing to protect him.“I am sorry. When we were kids I promised that I would never let harm come to you, but…” Thor bit his lips, his eyes wet with regret.Seeing such a big man cry was strange, but no god could speak against this. They were still reeling from the shock of seeing Sango pushed back.“Loki, we need your help. If you do not lift your hand today, the universe will fall.” Zeus finally spoke up after keeping to himself for so long.His lightning clad eyes were focused on the three greatest threats in the universe.For while the gods bantered, those three beings drew ever closer. Strapped to Zeus’ sides were
“I am sorry we had to take such measures, dear traveller. Thank you for your cooperation.”The captain of the squad sent to ‘subjugate’ the threat in the outer city spoke politely to the handcuffed Supreme.His expression was that of genuine thanks and gratitude, and while he and his team surrounded Mane and his friends like they were petty thieves, they merely acted as escorts. For they did not flaunt their auras – not that that would have helped in any way – nor did they harass the team.“It’s alright. I know that you are merely doing your jobs,” Mane chuckled, his expression pleasant and kind.Abe looked at him strangely, and so did Selena. When had Mane ever been this agreeable?“What is it that you are planning?” Abe asked his friend, using Lock-On to keep their conversation secret.He knew Mane well enough to know that the young Supreme was obviously seeking for something by being this kind to their captors. When the soldiers had arrived, Abe and the others had been prepared to
“Alright,” Mane nodded his head calmly.His lacklustre reaction did not elicit any untoward reaction from the captain. The man merely chuckled and gestured for Mane and the others to follow him. He had been told on his way to capture them that the ‘guests’ were to be treated with utmost sincerity. This was an order that came from the Celestial Emperor himself! The captain was not someone with the right to see the emperor, and he had never seen him in person before; but Mane was going to have an audience with him! With the most important man on this planet! And that was just after his descent into this world! The captain’s politeness wasn’t merely because he had been ordered to or because Mane had been very cooperative with him; it was because he was eager to see his king, and he was unwilling to do anything that could ruin his chances to.“It’s large,” Abe muttered as they walked, marvelling at the intricate designs and marvellous jewels that even he as a prince had never seen before.
“This…is amazing,” Mane’s eyes widened as he took in the sight before him.The young Supreme was seated on Roxanne. The beautiful dark horse had been granted the power of flight by Crystal who had no trouble casting a flight Lease on the lovely beast. While this was not a permanent condition, it would last hours, and that was thanks to Crystal’s expert command over Chaos. Any other person would have been able to cast this Lease for just under a few minutes. Mane was no exception to this. Even if his power was not sealed, he would not be able to use this Lease to liberally. If this Lease was that practical, it would have been popularized.Next to him, Professors Stern and Stanley, and Dean Desmond had smile plastered on their faces as they watched the Supreme’s gobsmacked reaction to the impressive sight before him. Behind the professors were the students, both old and new. While the older students, Kahn, Frost, Bel, and Maia were floating on their own, the new students had to be envel
“What a brilliant welcome,” Poseidon slowly moved towards the teenage looking Zeus and Atlas with a broad smile on his face.The god of the waves floated elegantly upon a bident, his eyes briefly scanning Atlas before finding his brother’s immature figure.“You have grown weak, brother,” Poseidon chuckled as he slowly flew towards his brother.Atlas, who had been on guard since Poseidon’s appearance, frowned upon seeing the god of the waves getting closer to a much weaker Zeus. His figure flashed as he appeared before Zeus, shielding him from the gaze of his own blood brother. “You have fallen low brother. Now, you require the protection of a titan? Hilarious.” Poseidon mocked as he locked eyes with the delicate looking Atlas. “Of course I have fallen. Not only was I betrayed by my own son, but I also almost died. What did you expect will happen when one who is considered as part of the big three of Olympus approaches a fallen god?” Zeus did not mind his brother’s comments.Instead
Days passed and soon it was time for Mane to leave the planet of the Celestial Emperor. Well, he wasn’t the only one leaving. It was time for the professors to return to their academies with their students – both old and new. In front of the portal that could transport them back to their academies, Mane stood with his friends as they bid each other goodbye. Well, something close to that at least. To give them some privacy, the other professors had gone on ahead with the students, standing a few tens of meters away from the Silver Wolves.“Our great Supreme, our captain and leader, the Unbended is finally leaving us. Whatever are we to do?” Abe waved his hands theatrically as he feigned sadness and pain.His words caused Selina and the twins to snicker. Only Aegeus snorted before shooting Abe a deathly stare. As for Mane, he could only smile wryly at Abe’s comments. He didn’t know when it had started since he had been away for so long in the Dreamscape, but Abe had become more easy goi
It took a week for Godking to complete its assignment and soon, Mane was back on Planet Celestial. Walking through the streets of the capital, he noticed that he was receiving a lot of stares. While it wasn’t unusual for people to stare at him given his appearance and his ethereal aura, that was only on Zandor. One could argue that it was because he didn’t look like a Celestial, but that was not accurate either. Since Celestials opened their homes to others who craved entry into the God Academies, they had welcomed several different species into their home world. Mane wasn’t not out of place in this new era, meaning there were definitely staring for another reason.“You have become very popular, young Supreme,” Professor Stern who was walking next to Mane chuckled and said.“Hahaha! The recordings that were taken of you should have spread everywhere by now. Even those who were unable to attend the event know who you are!” Professor Stanley laughed heartily while striking the young Sup
“You are still eating, even after all that happened?” Hildegarde frowned and said.She was looking at the boy who had forcefully taken her with him when he was returning to his realm with a disapproving gaze. They had escaped that world that had been prepared as his burial place. As though it had never happened, they had returned to the exact spot he had been teleported from – the kitchen. Hildegarde was confused about his current reaction.Seeing him biting onto his tuna sandwich caused her eyebrows to lift in frustration. It was the very same meal that Mane had made and had barely taken a bite of when he was transported to another world. And yes, that was not a dream; it had really happened. She couldn’t understand how the Supreme could be so calm after coming out of a life-or-death situation.“What would you have me do then? Toss it into the trashcan? That would be a waste of food.” Mane answered nonchalantly as he wiped some fish from his cheek.“That…” Hildegarde searched for wor
There were many things that could not be understood in this world, regardless of the amount of logic that one’s mind could process at any given moment, there were things that befuddled even the most brilliant minds. One of such brilliant minds – no, two of these – was staring into the sky full of stars with a torn expression on his face. This man – nay, this god – was the trickster and master shapeshifter, Loki. But he wasn’t alone.“What are you thinking about?”“Many things.”“The great Loki has more than one troubling issue? This is interesting. Odin would have laughed at the absurdity of such a statement; but looking at your expression, it seems to be true.”“It is arrogance to assume that one can solve all one’s problems with one’s mind alone. Why do you think I sought you?”“Isn’t it greater arrogance to presume that two would be enough?”“But its not just two is it? One is the mind of Odin and the other is the mind that Odin sought.”“You say you aren’t arrogant, but you do not
He moved quickly, his feet gliding across the floor soundlessly as he reached the Earth Realmer’s unguarded back. He opened his mouth and spat out a dagger, sending it flying towards the neck of his enemy. Before he was spotted by one of the Profound Realmers, his dagger had already pierced the Earth Realmer’s neck, and the latter was grasping at his neck furiously, almost like he could seal the hole and return his blood to his body by doing so.“Intru-“*Puchi*Dan swiftly waved his hands, changing the direction of his dagger and sending it flying into the neck of the Profound Realmer who had tried to sell him out. As he did so he was already sweeping his foot towards the abdomen of another enemy.*Boom*The stunned guard was sent flying into the wall and coughing up blood before he could fully understand what was going on. By this time, the last guard had finally caught up. He dashed towards Dan quickly, drawing his sword in the process. Without any hesitation he swung his blade at
“There really is no one impressive here,” Dragon King Bast stated as his sword sliced through a Noble as easily as cutting through tofu.“I knew he said he will make sure this place is left almost unguarded, but this is incredible,” Captain Hafiz muttered as he watched the disciplined legion of warriors beelining into their path.While he spoke calmly, his rioting aura and the violence being radiated in his eyes showed his eagerness for war. He was not the only one expressing such deathly intent. Every member of the Sun Squad was ready to go wild, their eyes gleaming just as dangerously as their captain.“Why are you people talking so much. Let’s fight!” Monkey King Hanuman roared out and jumped towards the approaching legion.While the others were a bit taken aback that there were none of the Skies here to face them, Monkey King Hanuman didn’t care about that. Last he remembered, several of the Skies had died on his planet, leaving only the strongest behind. Since Loki said he would
Back in the Dreamscape Universe, there was a war raging. While it wasn’t overt, citizens in every world could feel that the drums of war had been brought out. They had not been embroiled in chaos yet, but they knew that soon the drum beaters will strike down, announcing the start of another war, and this world would fall into disorder again.The one who stood at the centre of this war were preparing in their own right. Within the camp of ‘good’, Loki, Ananse, and Zica, gathered allies. So far they had attracted the likes of the Barbarian Primogenitor, Red Rose, and some of the Barbarian Ancestors. Destiny and Pathfinder were here along with a few other unknown ancestors. As if that wasn’t enough, the Barbarian Lord, Magma, and his Flames, had also escaped the confines of their home to join this war. They weren’t the only ones that had stepped up though. The Elementals had not hesitated to send their best as well. Ancestor Spector had arrived with a few other ancestors from Amalgamatio
