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

Ancestor Origin displayed speed unbefitting of an Elemental, covering several hundreds of meters in less than a second. But it wasn’t without cost. Cracks appeared on the surface of his skin as Edict leaked out furiously like a dysfunctional pipe. His energy was stable yet unstable. For it felt as though the Origin King was sacrificing this body to achieve his goal: getting another, better body!Crystal’s eyes were as red as the blood that run through her veins. The Chaos she controlled had grown so thin that the Chaos Shield that she was drawing her power from was flickering unstably around her. But beyond the redness that coated her pupils and the darkness that threatened to drown her in was a steely resolve that was unreflective of a mere servant. Her dedication could be seen in her heart, revealed by the emotions in her eyes. For the window to her soul had illuminated the path so clear that even the crimson of blood couldn’t hide the truth beneath.And it was this dedication that

While others rushed to Amalgamation for different reasons, the turmoil of the battlefield hadn’t ceased. “Are you crazy?!” Ancestor Origin screamed in fear as he was sent flying by a power typhoon so vast that the one who ruled over space and time questioned his own ability.It was only after he had crossed the hundred meter threshold that he came to a stop. With eyes besot by wind and sand the Origin King struggled to keep his eyes open. With a small grimace he mumbled“You are an Eternal”Crystal’s declaration of Eternal Damnation and the chant that led to it clearly stated her race. And realization of this caused the Origin King’s frown to transform into a cheerful smirk. For though he had remained in the background all these years, he knew who Eternals were. And he knew that they were servants to no one. They made sacrifices for no one – not even for themselves. They only served one person“The Supreme”Ancestor Origin’s eyes flashed with understanding and his greed towards retri

Crystal sped towards the Origin King with her cold gaze fixed on him. She waved her hands before her in circles and ordered Chaos to do her dirty work. And it did oblige.*Twirp*A large tree root sprouted from the ground and threatened to wind itself around the Origin King, prompting the latter to hastily call upon the winds of change and blast his way out of the encampment.“Hah!”With a strong bellow Ancestor Origin summoned several wind blades, each as large as a truck, and tore his way out of the tree root. Although the tree was sturdy, it couldn’t withstand this damage and collapsed.Ancestor Origin’s eyes were filled with dread, but even greater than that dread was a fury that was birthed from his helplessness. He was stronger than the woman who besieged him, but he could only retreat under her pressure. And this infuriated him. However, even in his fury he could still see clearly. His opponent was making it difficult for him to escape. He hadn’t even found an opening to make h

As his strength escaped his now feeble body, Ancestor Origin was left to wallow in pain and disbelief. While it was true that with his abilities, this wasn’t true death and finding a next host would be only a matter of time, it mattered little right now. For he had found the best host for his ambitions and selfish heart – the boy who had been snatched from his grasp just when he thought he was going to achieve what he sought – and had lost him. No matter whom his next host was, there was no way this person could compare to a Supreme. He had lost a great opportunity. And even worse was that he had lost it because of one weaker than him. In his depressed state he felt the power of space returning to him, and a scoff of disdain escaped his nostrils.“It is only now that you return?” Ancestor Origin sighed as his hazy eyes gazed upon the remnants of the tattered sky. The pillar of light that symbolized his killer’s boost in strength was dissipating and everything was returning to normal –
