Mane’s figure easily went past the reconstructed gate. The young Supreme’s pace, though leisurely, was much greater than what the average Noble could manage. In less than five seconds he had left Amalgamation so far behind him that it was a small dot in the distance. But his journey was meant to end here. For Sasha pawed at him once he was at the place she wanted him to be at. And Mane furrowed his brows in doubt.He could see nothing; he could smell nothing; and worst of all, he sensed nothing. Mane was at a stage where nothing could be hidden from him. His abilities as a Scholar were at their near-peak and so were his abilities as a Spiritualist. Logically speaking, there should be no one in this world capable of evading his senses or throwing him off for that matter. Usually Mane would have gone past this place and searched for the actual meeting place. But Sasha was adamant. The Nether Beast was confident that this was the place. So Mane descended from the sky above and graced the
“Oh? The boy knows his stuff.” Komfo Anokye’s surprise lasted only a moment. He recovered soon enough and was back to his smiling self. He could feel his soul trembling in excitement. The tremble was slight and almost inconspicuous. But anyone well trained in the art of souls could discern this. And that was why Komfo Anokye praised Mane. For clearly Mane had associated his trembling soul to his bloodline.Keira was silent. Her eyes were focused on Mane, so much so that the young boy was starting to feel a bit uncomfortable. But he didn’t want to show his ancestors any disrespect, so he didn’t comment on it or show any obvious signs of discomfort. The issue was that Mane was in the presence of one of the greatest minds to have ever roamed the true universe. He stood before the man who had earned Ananse’s – a goddess of wisdom’s – respect. Komfo Anokye saw right through Mane’s discomfort with his discerning eyes and chuckled.“Forgive us Mane. My sister is a bit terrified to meet you.”
“You have experienced the power of the Grim Reaper?”Mane was not just stunned by what he heard, but extremely doubtful. The Grim Reaper’s power was beyond anything in this universe or any other. This was someone who stood at the true peak of the realms and continuously grew stronger with every death that took place. Saying he knew how strong the Reaper was was one thing, but to say he experienced the power of the Reaper was something difficult to believe. Because experiencing something meant that you had to be in the midst of that thing. And though Komfo Anokye was strong, the power Mane felt from the older man was several notches below that of the Grim Reaper’s.“I have indeed experienced the power of the Reaper before. In fact, all the remnants of Kerith have experienced the power of the Reaper.” Komfo Anokye stated with a small smile.Mane turned to look at Keira for confirmation. His grandmother had a great aura of purity around her that made Mane confident that she wasn’t capabl
Mane lifted his shoulders with a “What did you expect?” look. How was one race going to be able to stand up to multiple god races on its own? That was impossible. No matter how talented Weapon Masters were, they weren’t the only dogs the gods had. And unlike them, the other beasts were still tethered to their leashes.“While we did lose, we destroyed several god clans, killing off over 7 god clans – permanently.”Now did this stun Mane. Gods weren’t pieces of vegetables or some trash that could so easily be thrown out. They were people who had crossed the threshold of normalcy and entered the ranks of the abnormal. And each god clan had the right to be arrogant. Though they weren’t all ranked at the same level of power, killing off a god clan was a mighty impressive feat. Killing off two was near impossible and killing off three was improbable. However, Mane was listening to someone telling him that his race was able to kill off 7 god clans! How as that even possible? How did they bre
“I do,” Mane had to admit that it was very impressive that Keira and Komfo Anokye possessed such rich veins of God Killing Energy. Yes, that’s right – God Killing Energy.God Killing Energy was a theoretical type of energy before – until a few millions of years ago. That was actually when the first god fell to mortals due to the combined efforts a few Scholars and some Energy Wielders. That was when God Killing Energy was first discovered. This energy was one that was neither Edict nor Chaos. And it wasn’t tangible like the former two to be used in a fight. However, it carried great suppressive effect. God Killing aura was a kind of aura that manifested when a person consumed the Godhead of a god. And the only way to do that was by killing a god. Once a god was killed, that gods Godhead automatically latched on to the one who killed that god and formed the God Killing aura around them. This aura allowed the God Killer to have a natural suppression over other gods they faced. And this
Mane was stunned by what he was hearing. He had been brought to this world by the hands of fate, seeking to see the Supreme of the True Universe put his budding skills to the test. And so far he had been doing a splendid job. But who would have thought that he would meet his father’s family here. And even more unbelievable was that they were here to restore their planet. They didn’t need to say it for Mane to understand this. Why else would they be going around collecting fragments of Kerith? Komfo Anokye didn’t tell Mane everything. And that was because he didn’t need to. The weapon Kerith was destroyed when the world Kerith was destroyed. That same weapon was able to affect an entire planet. The fact that the world and the weapon shared the same name meant that the weapon Kerith was fused to the world Kerith. They were one. And when the world was destroyed, it too faced destruction. Hypothetically, if the weapon could be put back together and fused with another world, Kerith could
How many times had Mane been quieted by the words of another? That he did not know. But it had been happening too many times of late. And today was no exception. It had only been a few hours after his awakening from the land of dreams and unreal into a universe of virtual and spiritual. Yet even in the ever so brief period his heart had been forced to bear many truths that not even his father was aware of. Of course, this was his own doing. For he prodded and forced open the mouth of Komfo Anokye with his passionate pleas and by feeding on the feeling of guilt the old man had towards his abandoned family. Now Mane knew a lot more than he wanted to.The young Supreme had hoped that there was another with a Universe level prophecy in his time. After all, although there were many prophecies in the Universe, few could push the heart of the Reaper towards them. So Mane hoped with all his heart that the prophecy that had drawn the Reaper to the Weapon Masters was one that spoke of
“Are you okay?” Keira asked her grandson. While she didn’t understand why Mane was so shaken by the news, she could feel that something was wrong. However, that feeling didn’t last for long; for the discomfort of the boy disappeared soon enough, and he flashed her a gentle smile.“I am fine Grandmother,” the title of the lady before him rolled so naturally off his tongue that Mane was actually a bit surprised by it. He didn’t think it would be so easy to accept the woman before him as his own. Yet it was. There was just something about her kindness filled aura that drew him in and kept him confined to her heart.“Good kid,” Keira chuckled gleefully. She gently tousled Mane’s hair like he was a child and not a man much bigger than her. Her wide grin was infectious, for Mane found himself bearing a mark much similar to it before he knew what was going on.“And what of me?” Komfo Anokye tried to crush the party with his comments. Mane took one look at his sly smile and mercilessly crush
