Ray’s expression was extremely unpleasant. As an Olympian, his power was tied to himself. No matter how good a weapon was, it wouldn’t help him much. Even though he was an expert with the sword due to his ancestry, it wouldn’t improve his power much. The same went for many other gods. The situation changes when a god is paired with an Attribute Artefact that shared in his attribute. But Attribute Weapons were rare. Only a few had appeared in the True Universe, and each of them was created due to luck. Cronos’s Clock of Eternity for instance was created not based on skill, but on luck. For though the creators were talented, never in their wildest dreams had they envisioned a Time Attribute Weapon would be born from their hands. Ray had searched the True Universe for such a weapon after realizing that his growth was slowing down. And though he stopped his search after Alexis got pregnant, he had searched pretty much every great ruin he could find but to no avai
“Get out of my way,” Seth gritted his teeth in anger as he swung the Dark Sword. The powerful artefact hummed dully as its figure blurred in the darkness that engulfed it. With great power it sent a thin but very sharp sword light flying at Ray.“You’re not the only one who can use a weapon” Ray said in disdain. The avatar he summoned seemed to share in his disdain, for it swung the large claymore it held towards Seth with great precision. And a burning sword light intercepted the dark sword light.*Bang*Both sword lights were strong, and neither could gain the upper hand, leading to each cancelling the other out. Seth’s expression was very ugly upon seeing this. The dark sword light was a manifestation of both his and the Dark Sword’s power. Yet together they couldn’t overwhelm Ray.“You are not going anywhere,” Ray declared before launching several attacks, intent on keeping Seth grounded.
“What if all this while we have been wrong? What if Seth isn’t the most eccentric person in the Universe, but the most logical?” Alexis asked Ray and Butler Fin once. What if the Dark God did the things he did because he had to do them, not because he wanted to?“What if the reason why Seth is so strong is because the mortals do not know him, neither do they understand him?”Alexis’s words had remained with Ray long after she left. He was left pondering this exact issue. Every god had a weakness, and when that weakness was worked upon, their godhead could be temporarily weakened, allowing a Scholar to identify and destroy it. For Fire Gods like himself, water was a great weakness. For Earth Gods, fire was their bane and for Lightning Gods like Zeus, earth was a great suppressor. Every element had its weakness. Seth was the only Dark God, but many believed that his weakness was light. It wasn’t that hard to figure out, for that
As the two warred, Alexis spoke.“The Brute King may be able to hold the Dark God back, but he isn’t the permanent solution to Zandor’s woes. He cannot stop the Dark God from coming over and over again.”“But you can help. If you’re wondering how, you already completed the first part by listening to me. The Dark God draws his power from fear. And he does this best by hiding in the shadows. But now you know his name, so the shadows of Zandor are no longer under his control.”“The second part is a bit harder. I need you to denounce the Dark God”“Absolute Queen!” Seth’s raging voice resounded from within the dark domain, followed by loud explosions and flashing lights. His voice brought fear into the hearts of many. For the power that was commanded by his voice alone was no joke.“If any of you dares denounce me, I will…” Seth angrily exclaimed. But he was cut
*Bang*Ray was still giving Seth a hard time, and the Dark God was mainly relying on the Dark Sword to fend off the Brute Kings volley of attacks. Seth’s greatest weapon was his mind, but with him shaken and disoriented, he couldn’t even rely on his brain for comfort. A Scholar was useless without his or her ability to think. And Seth was pretty useless right now. With his mind feeding off the distraction the Absolute Queen had fed him, Seth found it hard to focus on the immediate threat before him.The furiously attacking Ray suddenly took a huge step back, and his avatar stepped back with him. He pulled back his forearm and gathered power into it, with his avatar mirroring his actions. For the avatar threw its arm – the arm wielding the fire pitchfork – back with the same kind of eagerness Ray was displaying. With a defiant roar Ray threw out his favorite technique and showed why he was called one of the youngest genius gods alive. For h
*Bang*The words of the Absolute Queen set off an explosion in the minds of Zandorians. They who were weak of body were being told they could kill off a god with their hearts. Was that even possible?“You need to make a decision now. Will you help the Brute King or you would helplessly look on as the Dark God gets away?”“You have a chance to decide your own fate. What will you do?”There were several eyes focused on Alexis’s imprint, and many more gazing into the fiery blaze that was Ray. Amongst those many pairs of eyes were those of the Western Emperor. He was garbed in his royal attire and next to him were three royal guards with looks of apprehension on their faces. These guards were those with the highest authority within the palace, and they had the greatest talent amongst them all. Each one of them was an Above Mortal Realmer, and there was one who was even at the 6th Stage of the Above Mortal Realm. This p
“It seems you have also been dragged into this mess,” Duke Essandor chuckled upon seeing the dark expression on Sir Blunt’s face. His friend was smiling until the details of the Absolute Queen’s family were released by the scheming Eastern Emperor. Even one with a dull mind could easily see a link between Jake, John and Mane. For they were good friends.“I hope the Emperor wouldn’t be wary of me because of this,” Sir Blunt revealed his worry. He wasn’t one who dwelt on power. And the merits he had now he had only accepted because of his family. But he certainly wasn’t interested in the throne or anything that had to do with royalty. He was perfectly content with what he had. But it would be a different case if the Emperor regarded him a threat because of the Western Monarch’s words. And it didn’t help that he was the one who brought Alexis to the Northern Empire. For the Northern Emperor may most likely think t
For the longest of times, Spiritual Gods stayed away from politics. They were always solitary, and seldom fought for worlds with the other gods. But this didn’t mean that they were weak. Because their power was based in their spirit, they didn’t need the spiritual power of others in order to grow. But that didn’t mean that they couldn’t use a world’s spiritual power. A Spiritual God never fought for a world, but every Spiritual God was tethered to a world. Mind you, they didn’t own that world. They were just tethered to it. These were worlds that acknowledged these Spiritual Gods as their own. Why was it mandatory for a Spiritual God to be tethered to a world? Because that was the only way for them to break through the shackles of the Spiritual Emperor Realm and become Spiritual Gods!It was a secret that not even Spiritualists knew. For the forces of the universe shackled each Spiritual God in oath, preventing them from telling another thi
The atmosphere around Zandor quickly grew somber. They had warded off a great threat only to be given a deadline for a planet destroying threat. The eyes of many grew dim, and the arms of parents – fathers and mothers alike – that held on to their babies pulled the children tighter into their bosoms. What era had their children been born into?“There is no need to fear,” Butler Fin’s voice comforted. “You have the Brute King with you. And I will not be leaving anytime soon. And there is another God with me – a lightning god. It was he who liberated the South some months ago.”Butler Fin was quick to let the people know that there were three gods still living and breathing on Zandor. Indra was a god few people knew about. But the Southern Empire was familiar with this man. For more than half a year ago, they were subject to the power of the Dark Lord. And no one knew of their pain or their misery. Because the South was det
