“justin, are you ready?" Asmodieus asked. It was almost their turn to enter the Zugan race dimension. With the modified challenges and all, he had to make sure his team was ready for anything that was coming their way.
Justin shook his head and snapped out of it. This wasnt the time top be having senseless thoughts, he had to focus. "i am" he answered.
"alright, thats good. We have to prepared for whatever comes and whenever it comes." asmodieus said as he clenched his fists. They would probably be separated from others as soon as they entered the dimension, but luckily they already had a battle plan for that. Before they went, Lord plato had purchased a high end device device for them which directly imported from gunnivere. It was like a wristwatch in the sense that it wrapped around their arms, but it also contained a compass. A virtual compass sustained by mana. The four virtual compasses were linked so wherever they were they would be able to find themselves.
"Candidate thirty, Candidate Thirty one, Candidate thirty two, and Candidate thirty three, prepare for entrance!" the announcer called out justins team.
"It is time: asmodieus stretched his hand forward. The others also did the same. To victory! he said.
"To victory!" Justin, Athena, and Ronald all responded in high spirits.
Lord plato smiled from the front row pf the crowd.
"Go forth!" the announcer waved his hand.
Justin immediately summoned the emperors again and wrapped out all around his body. The elvian battle was on his back with something holding it in place. His whole body blazed as a crown of fire homered above his head. His whole being radiated authority, everyone who gazed upon him had an inner urge to submit to this imposing figure standing tall.
"wow! so this is the man who dared steal from lord lee"
"i must say he certainly is something’’ some in thew audience were just seeing him for the first time. Although they had heard of him before.
Ronald looked at justin in awe. As a man of considerable strength and wealth, he really had no interest in the zugan race or its benefits. He had only joined the team for one manJustin! His mentor over these months never disappointed!
Seeing justin's transformation, ontario clenched his teeth. He had vowed to take revenge on justin for what he had a few months back and this Zugan race was the perfect place to fulfil that vow.
Asmpodieus nodded his head. Justin had drastically improved in power these last few months, he had gotten so powerful that asmodieus didnt even dare fight him without the asuras form. And that was when justin wasnt equipped with any weapon. Now he was the beast of the team.
Justin smiled in utter pleasure. He had gotten in touch with that mysterious voice that always spoke to him in dire situations. Turns out it was the original owner of the Emperors chain, the Emperor himself. Emperor of what? He had no idea? How it came to exist with him? Well to put it simply, before the emperor died he had put a small fraction of his spirit in the weapon in hopes of resurrecting one day. Now that justin owned the Chain, he had become the emperors only hope thereby giving him a chance to harness the power of the emperor like it belonged to him. provided, harnessing the power is no easy feat as it requires a certain level of strength to withstand it.( Callback to the fight between justin and the four Shadow brothers)
Equipped with the chain, the axe, and the will of the emperor, justin ran straight at the portal in the air and jumped into it. He experienced a resistance from the portal but was strong enough to break through it and successfully enter the Zugan dimension.
"Thats our cue" ontario said to the other and a red amor formed around his body.
Athenas witch form activated as her hair grew longer than usual and her nail grew ridiculously sharp.
Ronald had no fancy transformations, he believed in only one thing...his freaking hammer!
….
Justin fell from the air and landed beautifully with a superhero pose. All that could be seen was white, nothing else. There were other too besides him. Somewhere very close to where he was, some far away, and some who were really really far away. The first thing he did was check the compass on hiswaitwhere the f**k is the compass!
