In the faraway place from the earth,
It was an endless space where thousands of spaceships with different shapes were floating in space. There was a huge planet covered with the ring. And more importantly, that ring wasn't a natural ring made by an asteroid or anything else.
Rather it was a massive ring that actually supports life which was made by the living beings. But on this planet and ring, there were certainly different people living. These people had a humanoid shape but also had black horns and wings.
Some had dark scales while some don't. Most Alkiwon loved human skin, so they transformed themselves into such shape. This planet was called 'Ackreon' the homeland of the Alkiwon race. This giant ring spinning around the planets held more than billions of Alkiwon. In one of those giant spaceships, there were many rooms.
Inside the most important room which the control room of the spaceship, there were few people surprisingly talking to each other. There were five Alkiwons inside the room. One Alkiwon with his wrinkly old face was sitting on the chair.
While the other four Alkiwon were standing in front of him. There were two girls and two boys distinguished like a normal human with girls having bigger chests. The old man looked at their faces and asked "So, did you understand why your mission is so serious?"
"Yes," Although four of them replied, one of them still had the lower tone.
"Jerry, are you still dissatisfied with my words?" The old man looked at the young Alkiwon whose face had a small knife mark on his nose. This young Alkiwon's name was Jerry. He was only sixteen but already the prodigy of this race.
At such a young age, he was already an E-Rank expert. Although E-Rank sounds lame, when you compare him with the goblin that was just an F-Rank with Low-Level strength, one can find the difference.
"Elder, I don't understand why we are not using any of our Dragon-Level Battle Army to destroy the earth. Why must we wait and sign a peace contract with humans?" Facing the elder whose strength was around B-Rank, he didn't show any arrogance. But still questioned him with dissatisfaction.
"Brown, answer him!" Elder didn't answer himself instead look at the tall youth with a toned body and asked him to answer. Brown wasn't a prodigy like Jerry but he was nearly the same. He was seventeen and his strength was above Jerry.
Brown helplessly sighed for a moment, until a proud expression appeared on his face "Jerry, we are not just a race Alkiwon. We are conquerors. We started weakly but gradually we reached the rank of the top hundred strongest races in the universe."
"But we aren't alone that started with nothing. Humans are the same. Even though they don't have the will and spirit to conquer the universe, they have unlimited potential just like us. So, whenever we fight them, we must ensure a battle with the lowest casualty. Because we are conquerors and we have enemies everywhere."
"If other races got the smell about our weakness, our race will face its greatest catastrophe. What we want is a battle where we can use fewer soldiers to conquer the race. For that, we need to groom geniuses like you."
"Do you still remember our loss against humanity? One hundred and ninety years ago, we sent ten battleships consisting of fifty thousand soldiers in total against the newly mutated planet. From other perspectives, it was humanity loss because they lost billions of people."
"Comparing billion with fifty thousand, that's insane. This is the thought of other races. But for us, we have no allies, only enemies, so we bear the consequences of the next three wars after losing fifty thousand soldiers. So, what we must consider is not the quick battle rather a battle where we can win without losing too much."
"Jerry, the reason elders always support you is because you are genius and also the hope of our race to complete the objective of the Alkiwon race which is to conquer the universe."
"And as for our current peace treaty, we have recently discovered the Divine-Grade Tomb of an ancient figure. But that tomb is in human's territory, so we must signs this treaty and help younger generations like us to enter the Divine-Grade Tomb and improve our strength."
Looking at Jerry's face, he spoke with a serious tone. But with that face, he still had the pride while mentioning the greatness of his race.
Jerry nodded his head but he still had few doubts on his mind.
'If I wasn't the genius, would those elders even think about me? Is this how others evaluate me? Just because of my talent, they want to cling to me. I don't want such an elder, I don't want such friends. But who can become my real friend?'
At this moment, he began to doubt his own existence.
In the Downtown street, of Ethen's State.
"Trash, die for me!" Suddenly, Mantle roared condensing the fist and rushing towards him. His ability energy was erupting like a volcano, burning the surrounding. Everything had caught the fire. But suddenly, Mike took out two different bottles and drank them.
"Gulp" "Gulp"
In an instant, his wounds began to heal and his body slowly disappeared. Until Mantle was few meters away, Mike had already vanished.
"Trash, where are you hiding? Get out! Get out!" Mantle began to shout like a maniac but instead of running away. Mike walked towards Mac. But he knows the effect will only run for two minutes. So, when he reached in front of Mac, he lifted his leg and slammed onto his little brother.
"Crack"
With a powerful kick, the balls were cracked. But this also raised the sound. Mantle caught this sound quickly and slammed his fist towards Mac. The fire erupted out of his hand and blasted at Mac. Mike didn't expect Mantle would be so cruel to his own brother.
After all, that fire even burnt Mac. Even though Mike managed to escape the attack, his cloth got hit by the flames. In an instant, he understood that move was a big mistake.
"Bang"
Sure enough, Mantle saw the fire burning in the air and immediately rushed towards him. His strength was above Mike and by a lot. He instantly reached in behind Mike and slammed his fist on his back.
Mike's body turned like a bowl with his hands and feet behind, flying in the air. His body crashed onto the walls in front of him. Those wounds that were healed became nothing compared to this wound. His chest was smashed on the wall with his nose and forehead bleeding.
His body became bloody again. And this time, he got himself into a major disadvantage because of a small mistake. Of course, it wasn't his fault. He never thought Mantle would be so cruel to his own brother.
"Trash, let's see how you run now." Mantle made the cruel face as he slowly walked towards Mike. The fire erupted out of his hand. Although Mike was injured, he still tried his best to run away. But incapable of standing properly, he ended up falling to the ground.
It was a single stroke but his spine was nearly broken. That attack was so vicious that he almost died.
"Bang" "Ahhh"
Mantle walked from behind and smashed his leg on Mike's leg. His strike was so hard that it broke the bones on his leg.
"Trash, how dare you injure my brother? With your trashy talent and trash family, how dare you go up against us?" Lifting his head by pulling hair, Mantle cruelly spoke on his face.
"Trash.... Hehe, if I'm the trash then what is your little brother? What are your parents?" Although his face was covered in blood, even though he screamed in pain, when Mike was called trash, he began to ridicule Mantle's family.
"Bang" "Shut up! Trash!"
Mantle was enraged by Mike's words, his eyes turned red and he gripped his head and smashed his forehead on the ground. With the harsh words ringing on his ears, he pulled up Mike and his mood darken. Instead of fear, he could only see the gloomy smile on Mike's face.
"Y...Ku-ek... You call m…me trash, right? .... I know you won't kill me here. Because if you do, even if you are the head of the sect, you would end in the prison for a lifetime."
"Then, do you dare to have a life and death battle match with me after five months?"
When these words entered his ears, Mantle's face darkens even more. He felt humiliated because he couldn't kill Mike. But suddenly, his lips widen with a cruel smile as he said "Surely but before that let me break few more bones in your body."
"Splash"
Mantle stood up and raised his foot to smash his spine. But suddenly, a dark sword slashed towards him. Although he barely dodged the slash, his arm ended up getting cut by it. The purple dark sword eventually vanished in the air.
"Who are you?" Surprised by the attack, Mantle felt this wasn't Lucas so he shouted at the person standing in front of him wearing the purple hood. The figure slowly removed the hood. It was none other than Jenny. She was wearing tight jeans and a black t-shirt.
Looking at the bloody figure of Mike, her eyes turned red with fury and hatred. The purple dark gas erupts out of her body, condensing into the large blade as she hoarsely yelled "You trash! How dare you hurt my love?"
