Mane walked steadily towards Tucker’s room. There was a small smile on his face, and his eyes were filled with great expectation. As he moved he realized that the guards had been alerted by Tucker’s aura. Many of the mansion guards were swarming towards Tucker’s room, and Mane even spotted Rusty and the Black Team members – with the exception of Black Ink of course – making their way to Tucker’s room with great urgency. Mane could also sense that Maggie and Steel Fist were on their way. They moved swiftly, and Mane judged that they would be at the mansion in less than 5 minutes. “Do not bother to come. I am here.” Mane locked on to the two and reminded them of who he was. They were stunned to hear a voice appear in their minds so suddenly, but they recognized the owner of that voice. They hesitated for a bit before choosing to listen to Mane and retreating. “You are now a big shot huh,” Hildegarde snorted and said. Mane smiled bitterly and ignored her. He kept walking towards Tucker
The night was filled with several eventualities, but just like everything else that relied on the power of time, it was bound to end; and end it did. Once the morning came, much of the chaos of the night before was lost; and only a few – Rusty and the other high-ranking fighters – remembered the incident. Some hours had passed since the sun’s lovely kiss fell upon the earth, and every working person was already up and about. Within the City Lord’s mansion, in Ivor’s room to be exact, the Space Elemental who had been blessed with the power of the god of destruction, was looking outside his window with a lost expression on his face. From time to time he would grip his fists and feel the power coursing through his veins, finding it hard to believe that he was now the person he was. Even more outrageous was the fact that the person who gave him this power was the very same one who had taken his legs away from him. *Knock knock knock* A series of rhythmic taps on his door prompted Ivor’s
It is said that everything has an end. Everything, with the exception of the elusive Supreme God who created it all, had an end. People said Space was endless, yet many complained of the inadequacy of their homes in accommodating their many needs. So space had its end. Time was called an element without an equal, yet each man and each woman knew that their time was bound to end. The gods who boasted of immortality knew that even for them time wasn't that kind. For if they could really escape the shackles of time, they wouldn't fear the Supreme so much.While it was true that everything had an end, there was something that was proving to be the exception. No one could tell when it first appeared. All everyone knew was that it was here when the first god showed up; and it had been here since that period. Since its appearance it had proven to be endless, defying the laws of both change and time. This place was the Dark Realm.The land that remained unexplored stretched far beyond what th
At the furthest edge of the True Universe was a planet. For many centuries and millennia this planet had remained concealed, hidden from the eyes of the gods who had long sought its riches; but no more. The lost planet had been found. It's concealment barrier had been re-erected, but it was weak. The barrier would break soon. However, during that brief moment of weakness; during that time in which it's barrier had been down for that brief moment, those who sought it had discovered it, leaving it vulnerable. This was because of the former promised land of the gods wasn't as strong as it was before. The promised land, which was also the land of Supremes had been greatly weakened. Not only was its World Spirit asleep, the citizens were unawakened. This was the worst time for them, yet for the gods there couldn't have been any better time. This planet was Zandor and within it those who were aware of the dangers the planet faced sat to discuss the current affairs.Naturally, Butler Fin was
Butler Fin started the meeting by bringing some issues to light."The situation now is very precarious. On the outside, Zandor is safe because the isolation barrier still remains. But that is only on the surface" "In reality, Zandor is already compromised. The moment it's barrier weakened and the aura of the World Spirit was released, Zandor had already been recognised. The gods will come. They have waited for this opportunity for a long time. There is no way they would let this moment pass them by. They will come here swiftly. The barrier wouldn't hold for long.""Initially, it would have lasted for quite some time. At least it would have been long enough to allow you lot to grow to the extent where the gods would be wary of offending you. Unfortunately this isn't the case. The barrier is weakened and the gods will come soon. When they do they will work together to destroy the barrier. By my estimates, they will be here in a few months. We must be ready."Once Butler Fin was done s
Just as Butler Fin suspected, many gods had been alerted to the appearance of Zandor. Many gods were preparing to move, and amosgt them were powerful beings whose name could easily shake the universe."Did you feel that energy?" a handsome green haired man turned to a beautiful woman with silver blond hair and asked. In his hand was a long spear that was as flexible as a flood dragon. "I did," the lady nodded her head, her eyes gleaming in excitement. She may look calm, but she had lived long enough to recognise the energy that came from the edge of the universe. That was the power of Zandor. It had been years since Zandor mysteriously disappeared after losing its gods. Yet now - after so many eons - it had finally reappeared."That's the power of the Promised Land," the lady licked her lips seductively as her long fingers reached out for a black whip attached to her waist."It has finally re-emerged. This time we shall get to plunder our fill!" the man declared as a powerful aura exp
"Where is everyone?"Mane's brows were furrowed in confusion as he walked through the village. He had arrived only a few minutes ago to discover that there was nothing to see. When he was a few kilometres away from the place, he sensed that there was no life there. He decided to discredit his superior senses and come here himself, only to realise that he wasn't wrong. There was indeed no one here. Not even a single soul was present."Young Master, should I check the vicinity?" Tucker was only a few steps behind Mane. He was draped in an all black robe with a slender sword strapped to his waist.The man had no idea that Mane could feel everything around him down to the minutest detail. While wielders had a certain grasp over their surroundings, allowing them to feel the auras around them to a certain degree, Scholars were a different breed. A Scholar King could feel life of even the leaves that withered upon the ground. He could sense the burning of every grain of sand and the life of
Tucker took several deep breaths to stabilise his messy breathing. His inner energy was in great disarray, and his strength was fading. His eyes were fixed upon the woman who stood before him, although he tried his best not to stare directly into her eyes.The woman in question had a deeply bewitching appearance. Her eyes were as red as crimson, yet they carried a great allure that Tucker didn't understand. Although Tucker was a man, he was not lustful neither was he poor at controlling himself. Yet before this woman he couldn't muster the courage to attack.The first thing he had done when he saw these strangers within the deserted village was to stroke, assuming that they were the cause of the mystery surrounding theissing villagers. He asked them to follow him to see his Lord, so that they Mane could question them personally. They insisted that they too had only arrived and didn't know what was going on. Obviously Tucker didn't believe them, and had stated that he would bring them
“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
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
