“A year of monsters huh. Only the idiots from God King would have the audacity to spit out such words.” A mocking voice from the next table butted in, causing Kahn and his colleagues’ expressions to grow sore.Those words brought the attention of the entire bar unto the four who had been previously hidden, undoing their plan of a stealthy time of relaxation.“Are those really students from God King Academy?”“How can that be? Don’t God Academies strictly regulate the ins and outs of their students?”“Well, I did hear that a number of students from the God Academies were visiting the planet for the trials. So, it may actually be true.”“It really is them! Look! The one on the left looks familiar. His horns are like ours, and he bears a striking resemblance to Kahn!”“You are right! It is indeed Kahn!”“Kahn the Great is back!”Many of the drinkers here had attended the last trials and had been privileged to see Kahn in action. So those who had never seen the Greater Celestial before –
“I heard that Emperor Academy students speak like criminals. Apparently, that was true.”“Yeah. I thought it was a lie, but from what we are seeing, it is very much the truth.”“Yep. Shouldn’t we be worried that some of our prodigies attend that academy? What if they come back with such an attitude?”“You mean Reaper’s Edge, Sarong, and Canyon’s Mouth Sharon?”“Yeah. Celestials respect strength, but our mouths are not tools for war.”The Celestials around them spoke loudly, clearly not very pleased with the way Emperor Academy’s students carried themselves. The people in question, however, did not care in the slightest. Myron and his friends merely grinned at the words of the Lower Celestials. To them, Lower Celestials were not worthy of their attention. The strongest person here was the barkeep, and he was only at the Heaven Realm. This wasn’t to say that Hea
“I apologise for our rude actions. I will notify my family immediately. They will reimburse you for the cost of your bar and compensate you for the trouble we have caused you.” Kahn swiftly stepped out to settle the matter.Much like when he had met Mane for the first time, his Glow was warning him severely to not antagonize this man! Clearly, this man was way above their reach!“If it isn’t Kahn the Great. I have heard much about you. Since you have personally stepped out, then I would have to let today’s matter slide.” The barkeep smiled warmly and said.“This is why I have always told you to reign it in. Now that nice kid has to pay for the damages you caused.” Reiki did not miss this chance to berate Maia. His words caused the Eternal shame, and she lowered her head while mouthing a ‘sorry’ to Kahn. The latter merely shook his head to gesture that it was okay, before offering this thanks to the bark
“My God,” Bel muttered, her face twisted strangely in shock.“To think he took down that monster in only one strike,” Frost’s eyes were opened just as widely as his sister’s.“He has not changed,” Kahn thought silently to himself as he watched the imposing figure of the Supreme standing over the fallen Fist Mind.Fist Mind had been smashed into the ground, the area around him reduced to dust and his frame forced so deeply into the earth that only King Arthur could possibly draw him out. His left arm was missing from his shoulder, and his abdomen now sported a hole large enough to fit a child’s head into it – not that anyone was ever going to do that. His face was pale, and his eyes widened in shock and pain.“I didn’t even see his movements!” Fist Mind thought in shock, his concern less about his broken body and more about the fact that his opponent was several times stronger than he was. He felt as though he was lying at the feet of a god, for only they could make him feel this helpl
“What language is that?” Frost asked, his face twisted into a frown.“I don’t know,” Kahn shook his head immediately. “Bel, do you know it?” the Greater Celestial asked, for Bel was famous for her knowledge on ancient Sanskrit and her vast intelligence.“I don’t know it,” Bel replied, her cheeks covered in a red tinge.“Oh my God. You are already crushing on him,” Frost snorted. His eyes were coated in slight displeasure at the sight of Maia kneeling.“What? Of course not! He is only a child!” Bel swiftly denied her brother’s allegations.While she looked sweet and innocent, Bel was already an adult, for she was three years older than Kahn. As for Frost, he was just two years older than his sister.“Yes. A child born to the Absolute Queen, a woman you look up to blindly,” Frost frowned and said.The Absolute Queen’s time in God King was documented as one of the greatest times of God King Academy. For a school that was initially on the decline, Thrud’s attendance returned God King’s pr
“It seems what I did was needless,” Grandpa Winks chuckled as he looked into the sky.He was stranded on a desolate planet. This was a place where the sun never set, nor did it rise. For it was forever in the bright red sky. It reeked of chaos and disorder, and the energy known as Chaos was strong here. Edict was almost non-existent, and whatever little this planet had left, Grandpa Winks was depending on to survive.“Since he is here, that means that he completed his mission. There is no way the one prophesied to be the ruler of the myriad realms would fail.” Grandpa Winks stretched lazily as he spoke.He was here all alone, so he was speaking to no one but himself. While this was strange, this was the only way to keep his sanity. After all, loneliness was devastatingly severe disease. If he didn’t do this, he would go mad.“But why didn’t he come with the others?” Grandpa Winks’ eyes narrowed into slits as a cold gleam occupied his lively pupils.Eternals were Eternals. They could l
Darkness is a concept we are all familiar with. There was a time of day where the sun gave way and allowed the moon to claim some of its glory away. In that time, the shadows felt at home and dominated the earth, and light became a craved afterthought for those who had enjoyed its pleasured embrace earlier in the day. Darkness was natural, and wherever there was light, there would always be darkness. Such was the natural order of the day. Such was the way the good Lord had intended it when he set the heavens apart from the earth. However, where there was a natural order of things, there was also an unnatural order of things. Mane had spent his entire life on Zandor, but the planet that was once the home of the gods was commonplace in every way. It possessed night and day much like ever other functional planet of the universe. What Mane was looking at however, was not natural in the slightest.A great darkness covered the earth. This darkness was so great that even with True Eyes, the
Winks kneeled before the Supreme, the white coat he wore which had been unsullied even with his merciless slaughter kissing the dirt of the earth gladly. His expression was similar to that of a diehard fan meeting his favourite celebrity for the first time in his life. His reverence was not faked, and his respect was authentic.The woman he knelt before, the 5th Supreme, was as beautiful as the word itself. Her hair flowed down freely, suspending narrowly above the floor. Those lovely green locks were more alluring that the green of the most magnificent tree, and they smelled like sweet pollen. Her complexion was as fair as the palest jade, and her long floral gown swept around her generous curves like a scarf around the slender neck of an alluring woman.Although her face was concealed by a mask, Mane could tell that she was beautiful simply by the aura she exuded. Even with True Eyes his pupils could not pierce the opaque mask that kept her face hidden, but his instincts told him th
“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
