“I am sorry we had to take such measures, dear traveller. Thank you for your cooperation.”The captain of the squad sent to ‘subjugate’ the threat in the outer city spoke politely to the handcuffed Supreme.His expression was that of genuine thanks and gratitude, and while he and his team surrounded Mane and his friends like they were petty thieves, they merely acted as escorts. For they did not flaunt their auras – not that that would have helped in any way – nor did they harass the team.“It’s alright. I know that you are merely doing your jobs,” Mane chuckled, his expression pleasant and kind.Abe looked at him strangely, and so did Selena. When had Mane ever been this agreeable?“What is it that you are planning?” Abe asked his friend, using Lock-On to keep their conversation secret.He knew Mane well enough to know that the young Supreme was obviously seeking for something by being this kind to their captors. When the soldiers had arrived, Abe and the others had been prepared to
“Alright,” Mane nodded his head calmly.His lacklustre reaction did not elicit any untoward reaction from the captain. The man merely chuckled and gestured for Mane and the others to follow him. He had been told on his way to capture them that the ‘guests’ were to be treated with utmost sincerity. This was an order that came from the Celestial Emperor himself! The captain was not someone with the right to see the emperor, and he had never seen him in person before; but Mane was going to have an audience with him! With the most important man on this planet! And that was just after his descent into this world! The captain’s politeness wasn’t merely because he had been ordered to or because Mane had been very cooperative with him; it was because he was eager to see his king, and he was unwilling to do anything that could ruin his chances to.“It’s large,” Abe muttered as they walked, marvelling at the intricate designs and marvellous jewels that even he as a prince had never seen before.
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
“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
