I Am Mane Harbinger: XII (Smashing The Illusion Apart)
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56“Follow my lead and support me whenever there is an opening,” Odin commanded Mane and the young Supreme nodded his head in understanding. He had no weapons here – not like they would work brilliantly against the Origin King – so his fists were his sole reliance. Besides, he doubted that it would come to that. He swiftly cast a few leases on Odin, hoping that they would be of some assistance.
“Celeritas”
“Viribus”
“Vitae”
“Oh? This is pretty neat.” Odin nodded his head with pleasure upon receiving Mane’s consent and the blessing of his Leases. It was only now that Mane remembered that he was a Spiritual King. His boosts were significant. Odin gently stretched his neck and then without any hesitation he shot forward, his body moving through the Mind Scape like a specter of darkness that sought to crush its king’s life.
*Wuu*

Once it was over Mane slumped to the ground in exhaustion. Though his part seemed the simpler between himself and Odin, he was still facing someone much more powerful than he was. The suppression alone took most of his strength to overcome. And that last strike had been performed with every bit of soul strength he could muster. Odin’s figure appeared next to Mane’s like a specter. The God King of Asgard watched his descendant with a gaze that spoke of his impression of the boy – he was proud. The little he had seen was good enough.“It isn’t over, is it?” Mane asked tiredly.“No,” Odin replied. “You will have a real fight on your hands when you get back.” The God King of Asgard advised.“Yay” Mane mocked himself with a wry smile on his face.“You have elements of both your parents in you.” Odin commented as he moved closer to Mane.“That is what I have been to

“What is a Weapon Master?” Mane asked, unfamiliar with the new term.“They were a race capable of mastering any weapon they held in less than a second. No weapon was outside their jurisdiction – not even Soul Weapons”Mane was impressed by the strength of this race. For their power was similar to another. They reminded Mane of…“The Origin King. Are they related to that psychopath?”“No. But the artefact that formed their world and gave them their strength was part of the Origin King.” Odin replied, explaining why Weapon Masters had the power of the Origin King.“That makes sense. So if she was that strong, how did she die?” Mane wondered. From his experience, strong people were difficult to kill. And for Odin to proclaim his grandmother as a person of power, she was most likely not inferior to the Allfather!“She didn’t” Odin stated plainly, like he w

In an underground lab several yards away from Amalgamation, a handsome young man was confined in a glass tube. The transparent surface exposed the contents of the tube and revealed the viscous fluid shrouding the young man. This young man was Mane. And the fluid surrounding him was a special herb extract that could accommodate Edict. And that was why Mane was still alive without any sustenance or air.Next to the tube was a bed of straw. The bed was common yet uncommon. For though it as only made of straw, a strange cord connected it to a large battery. In this battery was stored the purest form of Edict; this was what maintained the figure on the bed. For upon this bed lay the unconscious figure of Ancestor Origin. The old man slept peacefully, furrowing his brows from time to time. Suddenly the peace he was experiencing was lost to the wind as his slumbering figure shook unstably upon the bed. Like a shivering leaf he clutched at the edges of his bed as his body fidgeted un

Along with a loud trumpet sound that announced the presence of another who had comprehended the laws of Space, Mane’s body was greeted by the light of the space elements. The ash of space blended with the grey of time and the black of Takeover to create a multicolored halo of darkness around the young Supreme. Mane’s eyes flashed with the brilliance of a man filled with understanding as he pushed himself forward. His hands went before him, clutching at the wind as he made a tearing movement and caused space to bend to his intent.Shuttling Through Space was one of the two Breaths Mane had unlocked after greedily swallowing the laws of the Origin King. Even with Devour, eating up high level laws were almost impossible since the skill wasn’t ranked higher than Space or Time Laws. For if it had no such limitations, Cronos would have dominated the realms of men long before the birth of Mane. But Mane had succeeded. The young Supreme’s success had to do with the fact that he possessed True

Once Mane activated Elemental Telekinesis, he turned off Basileus since he couldn’t handle so many Glows and Breaths at a go. But that wasn’t before he strengthened the power of the elements“Augendae: Elemental Telekinesis”The broken forest bed produced several slabs of stone that rose to the air and littered the atmosphere. The winds howled like starving wolves as they tossed broken tree stems and pushed soil aside. Mane flames burned even brighter and his control over them grew stronger. The most apparent change of all though, was the weather.The bright skies grew shy, covering their fair necks with blankets of dark clouds that hid their blush – its suitor the streams of lightning that gathered under her lax watch. The clouds danced with each other, giving out thunderous groans of pleasure as they swiveled and turned and displayed their vast array of exquisite footwork. The skies lit up in bliss as the heavens were tenderly treated to lightning’s kiss. And with great emotion did

Mane lost his footing but was able to salvage a kneel and prevent his fall. That didn’t take away from his current predicament however. For he was still battling with his own flesh that had robbed him; he was still battling his vulnerability.“Come on!” Mane screamed at himself, trying to regain his strength. He had never thought that Elemental Telekinesis was this taxing. The description of the skill hadn’t included any such repercussions. For if it had, Mane wouldn’t have used it in such a battle. And while it was careless of the young Supreme to use a power he had never used before against an opponent unlike the likes of those he had ever faced before, one couldn’t fault him for believing that this power had the strength to change the tide of the battle without a great cost. But even with the abundant Edict reserves at his disposal and his vibrantly youthful body, Mane was struggling to stay conscious. Elemental Harmony had condemned him to a fate of helplessness. And Mane could on

While the Origin King had heard of instances where it took an entire battalion’s worth of energy to seal the strength of some gods, Mane was no god. And though he had been weakened greatly, his power should have been more than enough to hold down Mane’s power and still come to his aid. After all, though he sensed a powerful Wielding Manual from Mane’s spirit, the boy wasn’t strong enough to go against him. But then again, Mane wasn’t the only one the Origin King had to be worried about. For there was another.“Cronos,” the Origin King frowned as he skipped past a few bullets conjured by Crystal.Cronos – a name that caused as much dread as Odin’s popped into his mind as the Origin King explored the limits of his movement techniques without the power of space. He hadn’t forgotten that for some reason Cronos was stuck in there with the boy. And though he had been able to trap the Selfish Titan King in his illusion as well, it took twice the amount of energy he used on Mane to achieve su

“In my first few years as king of the titans I had to endure a number of challenges,” Cronos’s deep voice carried the power of his past and stabilized the trembling of Mane’s Soul Scape. And though the Supreme had bowed his head once again, Cronos knew that he was listening. “The toughest ones came from my father’s brothers. In one of such duels I lost my eye. And in another, I lost my mind. Then came the final one, where I lost my heart.” As Cronos spoke his features that had been hidden all this while were exposed to Mane. And when the young Supreme lifted his head upon sensing the changes around him, he was shaken to his core, much like his own Soul Scape. For in front of him wasn’t the perfect image he had sculpted in his mind in the leisurely minutes of the day and the aimless ones of the night. Before him was a face scarred by the trials of life and a heart that wasn’t a heart. And that was because the Cronos Mane saw was the Cronos he didn’t think he would ever see. Eyes tha

“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
Hunters: The Prequel Breakout!
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
