Hearing the word ‘Fenrir’, the Golden Sky’s expression changed into that of shock. As someone who was born and raised in the True Universe during his youth, he was aware of what that name meant, and the prophecies surrounding the one called Fenrir. Fenrir, the wolf of the end who will swallow the world, was a figure of fiction to the Golden Sky, and it had been that way until right now.“Fenrir would swallow the world he originates from first, before seeking the other universes to quench his thirst.” The Reaper guffawed madly, revealing information to the Golden Sky – information that the latter was not privy to.“He is from the True Universe,” the Golden Sky mumbled.The prophecies about Fenrir were endemic only to the True Universe. The other universes did not know of such a being, neither had they heard about the world-destroying wolf. Prophecies of the major universes could only be repeated in other major universes. Minor universes did not have the amount of fate required to drink
“Have you grown lax over the past few years?”*Bang*“Why are you so slow?”*Boom*“Not bad; but that wouldn’t catch anyone off guard. At least, it won’t catch any sensible person off guard.”*Bang*“Did you somehow become stupid in the time I was away? How can you call yourself a Scholar with such silly tactics.”*Boom*“Huh? Are you really my student? And is that pitiful thing the staff I gave you? Do better Aegeus.”*Boom*Aegeus was sent flying backwards as he struggled to stabilize himself. Next to him was Abe. The former prince was wiping blood off his lips with a large frown on his face. His body was riddled with superficial injuries of various sizes, the largest being the one on his abdomen. The depression in the earth he stood on and the Abe-sized engraving in that very depression told the story of what had caused his injuries. While Abe and Aegeus looked miserable, their states were better than the others around them.Jake and John, the ones known as the Hydra Twins, were t
Mane sat cross-legged in his room, his eyes closed and his breathing rhythmic. The ever-chatting masters were silent, giving him some much-needed space. Within Mane’s inner world, a space separate from his soulscape and mindscape, a small token of authority was floating silently. The token was without a true form, for it was a ring at certain times, and at others, it was a bracelet. It adopted the form of a necklace at one point, and at another an earring. It had no definite form, and it had no definite shape. This item was something called a Token of Authority.The Token of Authority was something that every Noble possessed. Once a Noble earned his title and became a Noble, the Token of Authority was formed in their inner world. This inner world was an amalgamation of all their techniques and power, and its purpose was to be fed to the Token of Authority. Years ago – or merely two years ago actually – Ananse had taught Mane about the Token of Authority and the role it played in ascen
“That’s good to know,” Mane nodded his head and rubbed the storage ring Uncle Jake had offered him before his disappearance.This ring had everything, from armour to weapons and even manuals, and the illusions it provided had been greatly beneficial for his growth; but his masters were right. The manuals and other techniques it contained had reached their limit. They would no longer be able to help Mane. If Mane sought mediocrity, he could still use them; but how could the son of the newest batch of gods be satisfied with that much? How could Zeus’s grandson be happy with such a life? There was more to be gained, and a greater harvest to be made; and the Supreme was going to take them all into his bosom so that he will seldom be dismayed.“So now I have two reasons for going to God King,” Mane mumbled, his eyes flashing brightly.“Indeed, and now that you have unlocked that new feature on the ring, you can go to Planet Celestial anytime,” the 2nd said.Mane had noticed a change in his
“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
