The first person Mane saw when he walked into the throne room was of course, the man seated on the throne. The Celestial Emperor Atlas; the Greater Celestial upon whose shoulders this entire empire rested. He was so charismatically good looking that even mane was forced to admit his inferiority when standing before this man. For his looks, aura, and general countenance was far above what the normal man could muster. He was like a diamond positioned amongst stones; and trust me when I say that there was no one here who could be described as a stone.“Man, who knew that there was someone who was actually better looking than you?” Abe chuckled, sending this message to Mane; however, the young Supreme’s mind was occupied by something else. There was something else that pulled the attention of his mind. For while Atlas was best described as the most beautiful man he had ever seen, Mane was more shocked by the fact that he looked very much like someone he knew. For the Lord of Celestials lo
“You came here for a purpose, didn’t you? I know that one such as yourself did not create such a commotion for no reason,” Atlas opined, and mane smiled. Indeed, it was easier to talk to intelligent people.“Indeed, Lord Atlas. I saved the students of God King because it was the right thing to do, but there was no need to cause such destruction when dealing with Fist Mind. Things could have been ended much swiftly and with very minimal damage to the environment.”“Before you continue, Lord of the Universe, what happened to my students?” Grandmaster Yue Lao asked.Hearing her words, Frost, Kahn, Maia, and Bel who had been silently following behind Mane and his entourage, had frowns on their faces. When the guards arrived, Myron and his group were sent to a medical facility close by for healing. The fact that Grandmaster Yue Lao knew where they were meant that the provocation they had faced may have as well been planned.“Your students?” Mane asked, confusion present on his face for a s
It was unknown which was more shocking: the quality of the energy that Mane had revealed, or the figure of Emperor Academy’s professor embedded in the wall. Either way, Mane had revealed himself to the world in the most spectacular of ways. The 7th Supreme who was prophesied to be above them all had shown why such prophesies about him were no exaggeration at all!“Master!” Sarong screamed as he rushed to Grandmaster Cairo, peeling his master off the wall and helping him onto his feet.He knew his master was not the strongest, but he loved Grandmaster Cairo. The man was a brilliant teacher and was willing to do anything for his students. Emperor Academy was a brutal place. Unlike the other God Academies, it priced strength over everything else. So even Scholars who would be graciously accepted anywhere else were trampled upon in that dog-eat-dog academy if they didn’t possess power that rivalled their Energy or Body Wielding counterparts. In this brutal environment, Grandmaster Cairo h
The atmosphere changed the moment Mane made his declaration. The formerly insidious auras of the professors came billowing out, and Mane and the others were subjected to the true might of those who were acknowledged as the best across the galaxies. They who had merely watched silently through it all could not contain themselves any longer, for the Supreme was spouting words they considered as the epitome of disrespect. Even if he was the Supreme, they would not listen to his nonsense.“Stay close!” Grandmaster Cairo ordered Sarong, pulling the young boy close to him to protect him from the energies of the furious professors.While Grandmaster Yue Lao didn’t say anything, she pulled Sharon close to her so that she too was engulfed by her aura. That was the only way to protect those two from the rage of the other professors.“What is this force!” Abe gritted his teeth as he struggled to stand. All this while they had been standing with their heads held high, unafraid of even the stronge
“What…is…she?” Maia wondered, her entire body soaked in sweat. Beside her, Frost and Bel were collapsed on the floor, breathless and just as sweaty. Kahn had one knee on the ground, but he didn’t not fall. He was just as exhausted as the others. One could tell that unlike Mane’s party, they had struggled just to stay conscious.“She is the Chaos Witch. I remember her. She was one of the three greatest Eternals. There was the Cold Emperor, your grandfather; the Fire Eternal, a woman whose flames could even threaten Sutur; and the Chaos Witch, an Eternal whose control over Chaos was second only to the Chaos Beasts themselves. They gave her the monicker ‘witch’ because she handled Chaos like no other. I didn’t think that she was still alive.”Reiki’s reply caused Maia to swallow saliva nervously. To think that the first Eternal she would meet after so long was one who was considered a legend; what a
“You must prove to us, your qualifications,” one of the three God King Academy professors finally spoke after a long silence.“Professor Stern, you cannot make that decision on your own. You need the Headteacher’s approval.” One of the other professors from God King Academy, Dean Desmond, the head of the Energy Building Unit, swiftly opposed his colleague’s decision.“I agree with Dean Desmond. We cannot simply break the tradition that has been set in place since the inception of the academy. The rules state that only the headteacher can pick a professor for the academy, and he must do so after consulting with the Stakes. It isn’t a decision that can be made by professors like us.”The other professor, Professor Stanley, also opposed Professor Stern’s decision. The traditions of God King were not to be easily disturbed or trampled upon. Even though he wanted the Supreme on their side, he didn’t want to have to break their traditions for him.“I understand what you are all saying, but
The days went by swiftly. Soon, they turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months. Before anyone knew it, it was time for the God Trials. Planet Celestial had been waiting for this moment for the longest time. Many had come from far and wide. Sure, the God Trials were a great buzz, and though many weren’t qualified to participate due to its stringent entry criteria, many loved to watch the scions of strong and noble clans duke it out in a competition that assessed wit and strength alike; however, this competition was different.This was the second time that the Go Trials were being hosted on Planet Celestial, and this year marked the second year since the God Academies had broken their several millennia long tradition of hosting personalized tests for candidates approved by Tokens of Authority. The first God Trials had been the biggest thing to ever happen to Planet Celestial since the great war that saw the Celestials claim this planet as their own. For all the great talents of Pl
“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
