“Hmm. To think he was brave enough to show his face. Fascinating what ignorance can do to you.”In the hidden slums of Planet Celestial, the very god whom the Jade Emperor was talking about, was keeping a low profile.By buying out a cheap motel in a region that was not frequently visited – even by rats – Ares was able to evade the searching eyes of Planet Celestial’s tough surveillance. As for how he had gotten into the planet in the first place with all the security that had been put in place for the trials, no one knew. Just like Mane had the power of Heimdall’s ring, allowing him to traverse the realms his eyes had seen, it was very likely that Ares, who had usurped the throne of Asgard, had his own tricks.“I think eh believes that he is safe here, Lord Ares. After all, the Celestial Emperor is a foe that even Olympus has to be wary of. Your father was not only fond of the emperor, but he also acknowledged his strength and referred to him as a worthy rival. It is natural that the

Mane’s POV Finally, it was the day of the trials. I had been waiting for weeks for it to happen. My impatience had finally paid off. Finally, it was time to reveal myself to the world. Not as a child of Zandor or Asgard or Olympus. I know I was advised to keep myself hidden until the time was right; but how can one tell when the time is right? Is there really such a thing in the first place? Uncle Jake leaving was not planned – at least I, Mane Harbinger, had not made any such plans at the time – but it had been the right thing to do; for I gained independence and a mind that could survive on its own from his absence. Going to the Dreamscape was unexpected, but that was the right time to experience what I experienced. Being betrayed by Sunflower was not expected, but it had been the right time for that given that that had been the only way to complete my mission and return to Zandor. Any later and my friends could have been in big trouble. While many things had happened just as I in

“Ladies and gentlemen, the moment you have all been waiting for is finally here. We have heard rumours. The stars have shifted into alignment and the voices of Chaos and Edict have never been clearer. Seers have spoken in confirmation and some commonfolk have gazed upon his visage; but has that ever been enough?”“We have waited and waited because we want to see for ourselves! We want to gaze upon his image with our eyes and experience his strength with our flesh as witness! He who has been proclaimed king of this world has returned! He is here, ladies and gentlemen! The one whose name was announced for all to hear; the one who was graced by the melodious voice of the Universe Will all those years ago.”“Harbinger of Chaos!”“Universe Traveler!”“True Universe’s Ruler!”“Welcome him!”“Mane Harbinger!”The announcer’s voice was loud and powerful. The energy of an Ascender permeated the stadium, and so did his excitement. The hearts of the audience beat as one, their emotions becoming

“I would like to tell you what an honour it is to fight you,” Professor Jackson chuckled mildly.“The honour is mine instead, professor. I hope that one day I can stand as your equal.” Mane smiled behind his mask.He knew that Professor Jackson was strong, but right now, standing before him, he could tell that he had underestimated the power of the teacher. Professor Jackson held no weapon neither had he mustered up his aura. He looked like a man on a leisurely stroll. Even then, Mane could not find any openings to attack. Every single option that would have usually been available to him was not.“Use True Eyes,” 1st instructed.“I cannot. It will reveal too much” Mane shook his head.While True Eyes was capable of seeing the things that were not, it wasn’t a power he wanted to display here. The Elder Gods were here, and Mane wanted to keep the fact that he had stolen the abilities of the Origin King away from them. Letting the world know that he had the eyes that could peer beyond ti

If there was ever a time to be amazed by a person’s skill and grit, it was now.“Incredible”The eyes of the commentator watched the scene of Mane’s flickering form with surprise and fascination, with the young Supreme proving to the world that he was indeed a child of prophecy. Mane was slower than Professor Jackson. There was no denying that; however, his reaction time was faster than the professor’s! By accurately judging where the professor’s attacks would come from and overcoming the massive suppression from the professor’s aura, he was able to avoid each blow by a hair’s breadth. His judgement was impressive as well. For Mane was mostly on the defensive and struck only when it seemed to be the most opportune time to. In fact, his patience and keen observation had paid off a few times, for the young Supreme had been able to accurately land a few attacks within the past five minutes. In fact, if the young Supreme had attacked five times, four of them had drawn blood! It was incred

“He’s strong,” Mane concluded as he struggled to deflect another one of Professor Jackson’s massive punches.*BOOM*The man’s fist was akin to the hammer of a dwarven blacksmith. It threatened to crush him apart and shatter his soul. All Mane could do – even with his powerful physical abilities and his very pure energy – was to dodge or deflect the attacks. Taking them head-on was suicidal.“What is impressive is not that his punches are powerful, but that head-on confrontation is clearly not his strongest suite,” Cronos’ voice reached Mane’s ears, causing the Supreme to falter for just a moment.That turned out to be costly, for the young Supreme was struck squarely on the shoulder, sending him flying into the barrier that he had made himself!*Boom*“Devour!” Mane breathed in hungrily, his broken shoulder swiftly healing in mere seconds as he swallowed large amounts of Edict to replenish what was lost.“He is coming again,” 1st warned, but Mane already knew that.He could sense the

“This is unbelievable,” the commentator muttered, his emotions one with the spectating crowd.It was a common rule that when one became a Noble, they began to trim down their skills and keep only what they regarded as relevant to both their survival and advancement to godhood. Some Breaths were entirely abandoned while others were merged to produce even more powerful skills. Soon, those Breaths became Glows and those Glows became the very foundation for that Noble’s rise to ascension. After all, one’s domain was dependent upon the glows that one had mastery over.“Never attempt to ascend in more than one path if you are but a mortal.”This was a popular saying that limited the imagination of mortals and made it such that they would never catch up to the gods. You see, Asgardians were Body Wielders, but their gods were also Scholars. Olympians were Energy Wielders and their gods were Spiritualists as well. The other pantheons had similar stories. If there was to be an exception, it wou

Professor Jackson dashed forward furiously. His eyes flashed dangerously as Edict covered his arms and legs. Even if the masters were saying that he was not a combat type, Mane didn’t think so. Surely, he could tell that the professor was rusty, given that he was not moving as fluidly as he should have been. After all, if that wasn’t the case, he would have lost already; however, he had to admit that the professor was strong. His charge was as overwhelming as the word itself.*Boom*Mane took a deep breath and pushed forward as well. His eyes flashed with torrents of lightning as the deadly element coated his frame. Brimstone and lightning came together to create what was his most potent attack right now. Instead of avoiding the professor, Mane accepted his attack head on!*BOOOM*It was no surprise – the outcome. Mane, the one the world was learning to call Supreme, was sent flying into the barrier. So thunderous was his contact – his back – with the barrier that the entire stadium s
