Leaving the surface of Elpi, Ayensi Sole Tiowen appeared inside a dark room with wide monitors filled with unreadable codes and a window, letting you see the curved surface of the world where he just went from. Elpi was spinning very slowly, similar to Earth. Inside that dark room was the grandiose chair which he sat and sighed. He was currently inside the main or the control room of his own built spacecraft.
Ayensi Sole Tiowen's spacecraft was pure black which looked like a clump of black metal. It largely contrasts to himself which is always white, white hair, white clothes, and fairly white skin, although his eyes were deep blue.
The spacecraft looked intimidating and looked like a final boss' spacecraft however the way you look at it. Its length is a kilometer long, its width is an eight of a kilometer, and its height is fifty stories high which is about a hundred to a hundred and fifty meters tall. Unlike other normal spacecraft, this one has no engines on its bottom or anything that will make it look like a real spacecraft.
It only has windows that had a tint of black lined up each and every room or hallway on the surface of the spacecraft each story.
At that moment, a scream filled with agony resound inside the main room, "Ahh!!", Ayensi Sole Tiowen's body was curled and his hands fully covering his blushed face as he embarrassingly shouted at himself, "I looked like a snotty kid who wants to show off to his crush! Ahh~~! So embarrassing~~!"
"The start was good, no, it was great! I was composed and all until that woman appeared!", his voice became of that sounded complaints, "No, it's not exactly her fault.", he peeked through his fingers.
"I underestimated women. In the millions of years that I have pursued power and strength, I thought I got over this simple thing."
When Ayensi Sole Tiowen was yet to become the strongest, he had immersed himself in cultivation and meditation. He became a being that only sought for power and ignored everything else, challenging stronger beings to improve. Being strict to himself was as natural as breathing back then. Now that he had achieved what he had long sought for, he subconsciously relaxed.
[Everything is now finished after countless years of perseverance]
As a man who had limited talent and potential, becoming the strongest being was farther than a dream but he did it. Not only did he did it, but he also surpassed it. His true potential can't even compare to his current power.
Thinking about this, Ayensi Sole Tiowen couldn't help but chuckle and ease himself as he put down his feet and leaned his head to his fist in a comfortable position, "Nothing can be done about that now. I've always been strict to myself but now, I should reward myself and get what I wanted. If someone obstructs me then I should just kill them or something.", while deep inside, he was glad. He still has his normal emotions intact. Worried for all his life that he wouldn't be able to understand the so-called "humans" again after countless years.
Although he still hadn't forgotten his original plan. He was supposed to get people who have the potential to be useful to him.
With a thought, Elpi's current time appeared inside his head, "A day, maybe that's too long? I'm not that sleepy anymore not that I need to in the first place."
He closed his eyes, 'Should I go somewhere else first?'
Suddenly, his eyes wide open, "Wait! I haven't defeated that Cosmic Being yet!", he greatly frowned while he unbuttoned his five buttons on his long white coat while his cheeks reddened, "and just earlier, I was boasting about being the strongest.", as he unbuttoned each time, limitless power filled his body.
…..
Ayensi Sole Tiowen's spacecraft disappeared into nothingness in a blinked of an eye beyond the skies.
The Guardian of Power who kept his eyes on that thing which looked like a black thick small line in the sky had his mouth wide open in shock. He subconsciously rubbed his eyes if he saw wrong and looked again, "Where did it go?", he whispered.
"Hey, Light, didn't we see the black thing that appeared there before that man arrived?"
The Guardian of Light looked at him and said, "Yes", then he followed the Guardian of Power's sight and realized that it was gone, "It appeared out of nowhere and then disappeared into nothingness.", the Guardian of Light furrowed his eyebrows.
"Is that the spacecraft that man was talking about?", the Guardian of Power unsurely asked.
"Tch! Maybe it's just coincidence. Do you think there is such a thing that can make you travel in space? Come on, we need to talk about something more serious.", the Guardian of Light placed his hand on the Guardian of Power's shoulder which he nodded in agreement.
Including the Guardian of Power and the Guardian of Light, eight of the Thirteen Guardians are already there but was only on the sidelines letting the Emperor, the Empress, the Patriarchs, and the Sages do all the talk.
"Does it really needs all of us to face that guy?", Empress Ai Mu irritated expressed.
"It's never too bad to be careful.", Emperor Wang Song sighed, "Although, doubtful, he has the confidence to proclaim that he is the strongest being while being in front of us."
Empress Ai Mu wanted to rebuke but only frowned.
At that moment, another space crack appeared and as if it was a portal, people came out: Three of the Thirteen Guardians, two Sages, one Patriarch, and Emperor Sheng Ju Long, they came from the western continent.
"Oh, Emperor Sheng Ju Long.", Emperor Wang Song and Empress Ai Mu greeted him along with the other Sages and other Patriarchs. Although the thirty-five powerhouses only have one difference in their leagues, there still those who gained more respect. The Two Saints are on the top, being respected even by the Thirteen Guardians; then the Thirteen Guardians who protect and preserve the balance of Elpi; the three Emperor and the Empress, Rulers of four continents each; next is the Sages, nine in total, having age and wisdom comparable to those ancients; lastly, the Seven Patriarchs, heads of families that have special bloodlines.
As they greeted each in respect, they found something surprising, the Guardian of Earth came along.
"Earth, aren't you supposed to be guarding that Demon Beast?", the Guardian of Spirit gently asked.
Everyone looked at the Guardian of Earth, some understood why he would come like Sage Tai Shi and Saint Kaiser but others were curious.
The Guardian of Earth sighed and said, "The matters about that Demon Beast is trivial compared to what the being that came the can bring."
Emperor Sheng Ju Long frowned as he already knew this while Emperor Wang Song and Empress Ai Mu had their eyes wide open like the others, especially those who took part in the battle against that Demon Beast.
The Guardian of Power and the Guardian of Light still couldn't understand what and when the Guardian of Earth noticed this, he asked, "If you do not know how heavy the situation is, why would you come here?"
The Guardian of Power just pointed at the old man in a meditative position whilst his eyes still closed, "Life called us here so we followed."
The Guardian of Earth looked at the old man who is the Guardian of Life and nodded, "Of course that would be the case, he is the Guardian of Life after all."
"What do you mean by that?", Empress Ai Mu asked.
"As the Guardian of Life, he has the responsibility to preserve life, in which, his survival instincts are the sharpest of us all.", the Guardian of Earth looked meaningfully at Saint Kaiser which Saint Kaiser nodded back, "Meaning, he is the one who knows how much dangerous something is."
For that statement, everyone was quiet. It truly did not sink well inside of them and still unable to comprehend it since they have yet to face that man, Ayensi Sole Tiowen.
While waiting for the rest from the Northern Continent to arrive, all of them discussed topics like when Emperor Wang Song talked to Ayensi Sole Tiowen to asking how strong is he.
Nobody slept through the night even if they wanted to and it is not like they can, although their body can take it even if they don't sleep for months.
Eventually, the promised time has arrived but the rest from the Northern Continent had yet to arrive. They already expected this but some of them can't stop worrying.
At that moment, the thick small black line appeared up beyond the skies which everybody noticed since they all were expecting it.
A few beads of sweat popped out of some of their foreheads as anxiety filled their chests, tightening it.
With a blink of an eye, a man appeared in front of them. The man was young and pretty as if it was a woman with its tied white long silvery hair. However, his eyes were closed and have an expression of peace and calmness.
"Are you all ready?", Ayensi Sole Tiowen asked with a smile.
'Looks like he got his composure back.', Emperor Wang Song thought. He stepped forward and said, "Sir Yen Si, could we please wait until the rest of us arrive?"
"No need to wait.", a voice which is not from Ayensi Sole Tiowen was heard that answered Emperor Wang Song. The voice has a tone of a gentleman and soon after, a space crack appeared in front of Ayensi Sole Tiowen and came out Emperor Wei Liang and the rest. With this, the thirty-five Powerhouses were completed, including the Heaven's Saint, Saint Anlar while emitting a holy aura.
Besides the Guardian of Earth was a skinny man in black robes. He has black hair and a pale face with lifeless eyes, seemingly uncaring for anything. However, as he looked at the man in front, his face got paler and his lifeless eyes widened. He had an expression of one who was at lost and is losing their will for reasons unknown.
Emperor Wang Song looked at them and didn't think greetings and explanation are necessary and prepared himself, "I hope that your words from before are truthful.", he said as he didn't notice the Guardian of Death's expression.
Ayensi Sole Tiowen nodded. Emperor Wang Song's words were about him not injuring anyone.
Like yesterday, the sun scorched the land with a few clouds hovering in the sky. The plane that they were far from anywhere populated.
The thirty-five strongest people in the world in front of a single man.
Weapons appeared out of thin air in each and every one of their hands. No weapons at that time were simple-looking. One could tell that every weapon in there has their own long histories and legendary origins.
Ayensi Sole Tiowen just smiled at them while his eyes still closed.
The Guardian of Power heavily furrowed his eyebrows and asked, "Are you not going to bring out your Natal Weapon?"
"Hmmm", Ayensi Sole Tiowen calmly answered, "It's not like it is a secret so I'll tell you. My body is not made of flesh."
"...", everyone just stood still, curious to what he was about to say. Some doubted his words. A body not made of flesh cannot be called a body at all.
"It is made by materials far stronger than you could imagine, this was created with techniques and technology. It surpassed all the weapons that you considered unattainable.", Ayensi Sole Tiowen said as he tapped his chest, "In a sense, this is already considered a weapon."
'Although I have a real weapon, why should I use it when it's unnecessary?'
