The battle raged onwards and Julian watched the Bomber closely. Once this fierce creation of his went off inside the Hive fortress. the battle would shift heavily. A look of satisfaction on his face disappeared as he noticed a human appeared in the skies above the wall.
" It can't be "
The armor of the man had a green dragon Insignia and was a deep blue color. A Roman style helmet with golden threads fluttered in the winds above the wall.
" GOD FUCKING DAMM IT! "
Rage consumed Julian as he realized who the bastard floating In the sky was. The Emperor of the Zavalla Empire himself had appeared to watch over the battle and to Julian's bewilderment he was somehow a golden immortal Rank 7.
' How the fuck did this shit stain manage to not only reach the golden immortal realm this quickly. He made it to the fucking 7th rank as well??? '
The sudden events shook Julian's Mind and he stared at the Zavalla emperor with a whirlwind of emotions.
" How the fuck! How the fuck! How the fuck! "
He repeated these words for what felt like an eternity before his mind drifted back to the Battlefield once again. The Bomber was at the right location and for a second his mind returned to normal. He watched as the Atomic bomb named Raknid bane dropped from the sky. a massive explosion went off in the far distance but he was so far away the shockwave was nothing more than a weak breeze. The visual sight however was glorious, the center of the Hive was obliterated and the rest was poisoned with excessive amounts of radiation. The explosions collapsed the ground beneath the Hive and a massive underground Cavern rivaling the Isvan cavern in size was uncovered.
" Shit! "
Julian was once again gob smacked as he saw more Than a billion Raknids emerge from the hole in the ground. Nothing in this battle was going in his favor. The Zavalla Emperor noticed Julian and stared intently at him. many different thoughts flew through his mind and he appeared in front of Julian within a nano second.
" Ah so you must be the New king of the kingdom of Koryak or should I say the so called emperor of man I have heard so much about after getting out of my secluded cultivation. "
He pulled out a small and ugly rock and tossed it to him.
" If it wasn't for that core you sold in my Empire! I wouldn't have been able to advance to the Golden Immortal stage. I really must thank you Julian. As the emperor of the Zavalla empire I have access to most of humanities ancient relics yet none of them mattered without a sufficiently strong beast core. As soon as I left seclusion I met with my son and learned of your plans.
He looked at the army of Zavalla soldiers below him and turned back to Julian.
' Know this and burn my words into your mind! As long as I, Supreme lord of humanity Evan Zavalla Live and breath. You will never surpass me and my Great empire! Regardless of your psychic prowess. "
He paused and continued to speak, this time he reached out his hand.
" I don't like you and I'm sure the feeling is mutual but we must work together for the betterment of our people. I'm the ace of humanities Qi cultivation while you are the peak of this regions Psychic power. if we work together I'm sure we can bring our species back from the brinks of despair. "
Evans words hit a cord in Julian's mind and he realized he was angry for no reason. what he truly needed was time and now the perfect opportunity had appeared before him.
" You are truly kind for forgiving me for my actions, it would be my honor to fight side by side with a fellow Emperor! While I keep our homeland safe I shall leave the war effort to you, at least for now. "
The two shook hands knowing this partnership was full of holes. Regardless they both stood to gain far more than they even realized. With their problems resolved they looked back at the ensuing horde of Raknids. Evan smirked at Julian and laughed " I guess your plan backfired huh. "
" Not entirely no "
Julian flew forward and gave a new order to his men " Rain Fire! "
The item creators inside of each bomber were reprogrammed to drop An upgraded version of Napalm, The Cruel Wild Fire. Flesh melted in seconds and the horde was stopped in its tracks. Unlike before there was nothing to recycle, just black dust.
" I poked the nest so I could purge every last one of them bastards. anyways it seems my role here is done, these are your borders Afterall. Have fun fighting the rest Evan. "
Julian disappeared but didn't truly leave. He hid his presence and watched the rest of the battle from far above. Evan floated down to the wall and met with general Dimitry. He was shocked and quickly kneeled in the emperors presence. " My lord I am honored to see you! I did not think you would come out of your seclusion so fast. "
Evan placed his hand on Dimitris shoulder and spoke with great confidence " do not stress Dimitry, The battle is as good as won with me here now. " Evan pulled out strange orb and poured his pure Qi within. " Dimitry do you know why humanity continues to decline? it is because all of our powerful relics built by the ancients require the pure Qi of a golden immortal to activate. We have always been a war like race and now i intend to show the world humanities military legacy once again. " A bag of expert quality Qi stones floated out of his pocket and the pure energy flooded into the orb. " Long have I waited for this day. Humanity will no longer be bullied by rats and frogs! We are descendants of the White ape race! ORB OF ZAMMA! DESTROY MY ENEMIES! "
The orb awakened and a blue light radiated from the center. Evans hand burned and his skin bubbled fiercely but he gripped the orb tighter and extended his arm outwards towards the enemy. The next moment an endless wave of lighting flooded out and moved down the battlefield Obliterating all flesh and blood it came into contact with. it moved so fast the horde couldn't even react despite being controlled by a single hive mind. Soldiers from The Zavalla empire cheered at the grand attack and Dimitry announced that it was the emperors doing!
* silence *
Just like that the battle was over. a single brilliant weapon one shotted the entirety of the attacking horde as well as the underground cavern. The ground turned to mud due to all the blood and Julian who was floating above wiped the sweat from his brows. The lighting was greater than that of Grivacre and filled Julian's heart with unease. Despite his current feelings he flew into the wasteland and collected the vast amount of blood spilled everywhere.
With that the feared second great Raknid war came to a shocking end. Evan received a royal welcome when he returned to the Imperial capital. There were many who wanted to meet with him but he shunned them all so that he could have a friendly chat with his kind brother.
" Alex you rotten bastard get out here! "
Evan banged on the fortress gates and screamed so loud the servants scurried away. After minutes of screaming he was about to unleash his Qi but was stopped by a Young Knight who opened the gates. " sorry for the wait my lord, i was in the restroom. had some bad sushi yesterday so I've been at the outhouse all day. " Evan shushed him and yelled for him to lead the way. The king sighed and walked further inside the fortress unlocking seals and arrays along the way until they arrived at a simple old wooden door. While this door looked simple. If anyone but the young knight opened it, they would die without a sound.
" so you've finally come to visit your elder brother huh? "
The two men stared at each other. no one except for the young knight knew this but the two brothers hated each other more than anyone else in the universe. Evan was a weak prince who had garbage talent and relied on his position to gain cultivation materials. Alex was a once in a millennia genius and the rightful heir to the throne but was forced to operate the great weapon to defend mankind. He was forced to watch as his empire degraded under his brothers rule. Many times he wanted to leave but his body was stuck entombed within the heart of the weapon, a device called Gods eternal throne. Once entombed one sat for the rest of their life. during the peak of humanity it was an honor but to Alex it was worse than the deepest hells .
Evan stared at Alex and spoke " I've uncovered your little plot brother. "
Evan laughed and looked at the young knight
"My dear brother do you remember the time you stole that heaven gazing fruit from me? I've always hated you for it but now I find it kind of funny. The entire family celebrated your ascension into the Golden immortal realm after you consumed it. I realize now I should have joined the celebrations and partied with you. You rot in here due to your own mistakes and i must say i am very thankful to you. Your such a good brother always keeping me safe and helping me reach my dreams. Even now in your attempt to dethrone me you indirectly helped me become unstoppable. "
Evan unleased his rank 7 aura screamed into Alex's face "That chest piece of yours you sent ruby to suck up to sold a rank 7 core to my men. By accepting this boys deals you have ruined any chances you ever had to take the throne. With the ancient relics I am akin to a god! Not even those grand powerhouses of the surrounding races could defeat me in battle.
Alex's face was grim and his bloodlust filled the room but he did not speak. instead he focused his aura to cover the young knight. Evan was further enraged when he noticed this and grabbed hold of the young knight " If you care for your little consort THEN ANSWER ME! How does it feel brother, To lose so miserably. "
Alex looked Evan in the eye and said 4 words
" IT FEELS FUCKING GREAT! "
A near sadistic laugh rang out from him. Evan shook a little as he watched his brother. The fear lasted less than a second and Evan regained his composure. he raised the young knight into the air and threw him across the room where he landed next to Alex. The knights helmet was knocked off in the impact and a young dark elf man was uncovered.
" So this Knight of yours has been the tower spirit this whole time. I had always thought this knight was your consort. with such a small frame i figured it was a woman under that armor. seems I was a fool too. "
The dark elf stood up and energy wrapped his body concealing it for a few seconds. what was revealed was a stunningly beautiful dark elf woman in elegant silk clothing.
" My form before was a façade to protect my lord and to get my opponent to lower their guard. if you do not leave this instant you will not leave at all. " The energy of the tower came alive and an overwhelming fear overcame Evan. Forced onto his left knee Evan pulled out a small blue coin and cracked it. A strange force shielded Evan and he stood up and walked out of the room while talking to Alex. " stay in here and rot with your spirit Bitch! "
