CHAPTER 10

On the streets of Kosen, capital city of the Kingdom of Koshen, banners portraying the tournament that is about to take place can be seen all over, soldiers can be seen patrolling the streets of the city a security measure put in place by the City Lord. Neighbouring kingdoms sent their young masters and mistresses to wage who the winner of the tournament will be, the presence of this young ones brought about influx of Divine Human Transcendent experts, trouble will always find its way into a peaceful arrangement. Two days ago, the young master and mistress of the house of Talsen, a noble house in Koshen mistakenly provoked the nephew of Zaul, king of Pavon "move peasants, royalty is passing" a pavonian guard addresses the simple-looking open roof carriage moving in front of them, he jumps down from his carriage, walks to the front of the other carriage, pulls out a whip and flogs the coach man "Young Master, help me please!!!" the doors to the carriage opens up and a face as white as snow, oval in shape, cat shaped eyes, pink lips, a very handsome man steps out, he bring out one of his spirits, a rainbow coloured bird and points at the guard, immediately rainbow flames swallows him, the young man looks at the extravagant looking carriage and walks to the door, yanks it open, enters inside and bangs it up, some minutes later he comes out with some parts of his face swollen. The nephew of Zaul comes out with a battered face and points at the young master of Talsen “Teraul, beat him up” a figure materialises out of thin air and rushes towards the young master, he throws his fist at his face BAM a palm stops the Teraul’s fist that is inches away from the young masters’ face “young master, are you alright?” a Divine Human Transcendent stops Teraul from attacking the young master “Teraul, disciple of the Fist Temple, I am this child’s guardian, respect my realm and stop this madness at once, let the young masters wait for the exclusive part of the tournament and settle their differences” the guardian bows to Teraul, he goes to his young master, brings out a potion and splashes it on his face, seconds after, all the bruises and injuries have cleared up, Teraul looks at King Zaul’s nephew and bows “master let us be on our way, use the face healing artefact inside the carriage, I will personally drive us to the coliseum.

Coliseum of Kosen is the second biggest arena in all of Koshen, the first being the Coliseum of Vahanis, currently in Kosen’s Coliseum, over 150,000 people are seated, at the uppermost parts, representatives of both allied and enemy kingdoms are seated all around while the God realm experts are seated in the clouds but are not visible, a total of five God realm experts are in attendance, God Nea, Regent of Cavax, Goddess Dimara, Queen of Wavext, God Munak, King of Koshen and Quasi-God Solomon, King Sage of Totry, these are the human Gods, the last God in attendance is True God Kariad, last born son of Emperor Zoriad but he supressed his aura to the Godhood realm. The representatives are Princess Lilith of Soliam representing King Fahad, Prince Gaul of Pavon representing King Zaul, High Sage Moses of Totry, Prince Shunak of Koshen the Lord of Kosen, Princess Luna of Dimof representing Queen Saras and Prince Adam of Cavax. The gates to the coliseum has been closed up with 200,000 people seated inside, the crowd anticipates the start of the tournament, a dark cloud gathers and a figure in white robe descends from the sky, this individual is the former king of Koshen, Elder Haenak, the only True God realm expert known in the world and aged at eight thousand and four years old, due to his appearance, Kariad looks at King Munak with shock, the king waves him off by saying “he decided to host the event while blabbing something about putting pressure on our enemies and I might be king but I do not have the capacity to stop him, let him enjoy himself, he has been in seclusion for two thousand years” Kariad thinks to himself “if the human population is as strong as this and they are regarded as the weakest, what is going on in other parts of the world? Especially the sea” Goddess Dimara laughs at the expression of Kariad “why are you surprised?, my father has entered the God-King Realm, your father might be deceiving you all in Gorax but he also has entered the God-King Realm, the dwarves have a God-King Creation realm expert, the Dragons have two God-Kings, so we might have Gods, Demi-Gods even True Gods but we do not possess the magical abilities to enter that realm, we need to venture into all other parts of the world and I, Nea and Munak decided to send five of our young ones each to Gorax to learn while you can bring some of your little ones to reach Godhood immediately in our respective kingdoms” King Munak puts his hands on Kariad’s shoulder “listen, we all know that they are coming and once they do only God-Kings and above will be able to fight them, so let us all have an hidden alliance and follow this plan, okay?”.

Elder Haenak descends and lands on a floating platform “Let this tournament begin” the crowd goes wild with excitement “this tournament was only meant to be for the indigenes of Koshen but after discussing with my son, your God, King Munak, we have decided to host it as the World Tournament, now letters of invitation were sent to all the Kingdoms to allow their geniuses attend, I hope they heeded the letters because those prices listed are as true as can be” he claps and a table appears “the top ten will be awarded with 50,000 divine grade orbs each, one Transcendent Beast Egg, a book written by High Sage Moses on Increasing Magical abilities and a direct training with any Demi-God of your choice” there is silence all over the coliseum as if death is moving, the crowd appears shocked as what he listed appears on the table “the top five will each receive 10,000 additional divine grade orbs each, one Divine Beast Egg, a book on Magical enhancements written by God Solomon and a direct training by any God of your choice” some people in the crowd faint “now the winner of this tournament will receive direct training from all the Gods each in the human kingdom, 100,000 Divine Transcendent grade orbs, one Divine transcendent Beast Egg, two books written by God Solomon on Magical armaments and a…” two portals opens high above the sky, Zagon current King of Dragok and Xyra current Queen of Dragok walk out with six people in tow, the portals close “Time Freeze” Elder Haenak says while floating to meet them, the whole crowd freezes “to what do we owe this visit?” he approaches them face to face, the Gods above the coliseum remove the veil of invisibility and also approaches them “is this not the world tournament, why the hostility?” Zagon smiles while saying “I know we came uninvited but I and my queen will each add 100,000 Divine Transcendent Orbs to the price money, will that be enough?” he smirks “two Divine Dragon Eggs each, now that will be enough” Elder Haenak replies Zagon, the queen frowns looks at Zagon and smirks.

Time starts flowing, the crowd notices six individuals standing on the large arena in the middle of the coliseum, two other portals open in the sky, a dark elf with a black diamond crown on his head walks out from the right one and a red coloured dwarf walks out from the left one, they descend to the arena, Elder Haenak looks at the skies “anyone else?” another portal opens at the centre of the coliseum and out walks two individuals, the first is High Sage Malek, Chief Historian of Atlantis and the second is Prince Atlav, Crowned Prince of Atlantis and first born son of God-King Atlas, due to the oppressive pressure from the High Sage, almost everyone in the crowd faints on the spot “this tournament is postponed and will begin three days from now” Elder Haenak twirls both of his hands and every person below the Demi-God realm disappears from the coliseum, he looks to the skies, five beings appear and teleport to the ground, Zagon and Xyra walk towards the arena, the dark elf and the red coloured dwarf also walk towards the centre, Elder Haenak conjures ten thrones all in a circle, they all seat, while the remaining seat around the coliseum i.e. the representatives “we all being in the same place at the same time increases the otherworldly invasion spoken about at the beginning of time, you all know that so why are you all coming to this tournament?” Elder Haenak looks at each and every one of them before sighing “Haenak, can you not feel it, soon the war will start, some of us will not survive this war so us staying separately will not hinder anything, instead we need to come together as one and face this threat head on, those three that must not be named will only partake when it has passed our capability to protect the world” High Sage Malek tells Elder Haenak but Kariad shakes his head “I have something to explain to you guys, most of us might die, the world tree has told me that it will only protect the world and not us, why would it not?, some of you may think this, the reason is simple, the world is meant to start producing God-Kings until after the first Inter-World Battle but now we have over ten God-King Experts in the world, the fact is this, this war is coming as a form of culling to reduce the amount of Gods produced…mmm…they are here” they all immediately look to the skies and teleport to the outside of the world, there they see four beasts pulling a great golden vessel half the size of the world.

In Skyon, a titanic being chained on a throne opens up its eyes that glows golden, the beings head looks up “World Invaders, so he was right, oh well, I will not interfere unless this world is at stake…mmm…Seion…Shad…brothers this battle would have been ours if our anger and pride never got the best of us, we have all felt Gol’s presence fading because the curse silencing us from interfering weakens on a daily basis, we three have used means to speed up the advancement of few of the world population but I say this, it was not enough, we might not be able to save all of them but we must ensure that not all dies, now wake up brothers and protect your subjects”.

In Seaon, in a blue pyramid at the centre of the ocean, a titanic being frozen on a throne at the centre, the ice cracks all the way to the waist of said being “AAARRRGGGH!!!” the being holds his head and roars in anger “Zes, stand down, we are not meant to interfere, we are meant to watch and protect the world from destruction, I am going back to sleep” the being rests back on the throne and water chains crawl up to his head and re freezes him.

In the Underworld, a titanic being pierced with a gigantic bident and magma chains connected to his hands and legs is at the centre of a skull like building also known as Tartarus, this being is Shad the Silent “Zes, I am silent, I cannot see what you see, I cannot feel what you feel, master said we are to only intervene when the world is about to be destroyed” Shads head drops back down and he closes his eyes.

“Cowards! Cowards!! Cowards!!!, you are all weak, we have been gathering our strength while waiting for this day, I will not wait while I watch all the help I have silently rendered die away when I have the means to help” Zes turns his eyes towards a palace located in a border town in the Kingdom of Koshen “I hope you will be able to handle a wisp of my powers, if you cannot, you will be crippled for all your days” whoosh, a golden light speedily enters Taris and enters the Ninth Princes body, he squirms and shakes violently then stops, two hours later, his eyes snap open “I AM BACK!!!”.
