A purple haired girl, probably fourteen years old, kneeled before them as she begged for them to not force her to join them but they weren't listening.
One of them didn't listen because he was not really there and the other one was too busy confronting what was there.
''Hah, it has been about a year since the last time I was released. Immortality, how are you doing?''
The all enchanter said as he looked at Sun Wukong as if he wanted to hear his reaction but all Sun Wukong did was to point his staff in the direction of his enemy.
''Why do we always meet like this? All of you first generation gifted are always like this. You, Atlas, gods' authority, gods' memories, gods' prophesy. All you guys ever do is try to kill me, and it's weird because you are the only gifted who know the truth about where the gifts come from and why you should join me''
The all enchanter said nonchalantly but Sun Wukong wasn't having any of this and jumped on the offensive in order to get rid of the cursed god.
The all enchanter whispered some kind of spell and the magic in the air around Sun Wukong had frozen in place and Sun Wukong was stuck in the air mid jump because of it.
''Now. Gods' dream, I don't know if you heard but I'm not a fan of killing little kids, so why won't you join me instead of me killing you''
The all enchanter said as he tried to force a nice reassuring smile on his face, the type of smile that superheroes use in order to make the people they save calmer, but he failed at doing that instead his smile looked more like the smile that a crazy villain would make before he laughs.
''No, please, I can't do that. I can't join YOU''
God's dream said as she was crying.
''Too bad''
The all enchanter said coldly as he took Danny's knife out of his pocket.
He was ready to strike but then he stopped.
'Sorry but I don't like killing little girls either'
It was Danny's voice that forced his will over his body.
''Well then, you want to make her join you as well, don't you? I'll leave it to you''
The all enchanter said and gave Danny the control over his body again.
Sun Wukong's body fell to the ground at the moment the spell was deactivated.
''Sorry monkey''
Danny said to Sun Wukong who was cleaning mud off his fur and then turned away towards the girl In front of him.
''I'm sorry for what that asshole did to you. I also want you to join me but I won't force you, so all I can say is see you next time, my offer will probably still exist even then''
Danny said and both Sun Wukong and he started heading to their next destination.
''I want to join you''
Gods' dream said and shocked both Sun Wukong and Danny.
''But I don't want to join HIM, so if you can promise me, you will keep his appearances to a minimum I will join you''
God's dream said while running to catch up to them.
''I promise I will keep him from hurting you''
Danny said and they all kept walking in the direction of their next destination.
''By the way, are you planning to go to the tournament''
Gods' dream asked.
''What is your name, girl?''
Sun Wukong asked.
''Quies''
God's dream answered.
''Okay, so please answer me that Quise. why the hell would you tell the guy that gets possessed around gifted who haven't joined him about a competition where most of the gifted in this realm show up?''
Sun Wukong asked.
''We are going''
Danny said and they changed directions towards the competition.

'It has been years since that time when he saved me... from myself.
You see, in my family, I was never intended to be the next head of the family but I was an extremely gifted demon. Even among the high ranking demons thirty years older than me, I would still be far stronger than most of them so my family always saw me as a freak, and to add the fact that I'm a direct descendent in the bloodline line of Chaos who was the first ancestor of the Greek demons. I was seen as a threat to the throne and so they treated me like shit, until that day when I finally cracked under the pressure.
I ran away and used the summoning of Chaos, a strong spell that no one can control but I didn't know I couldn't control it.
''Evocatio chaos''
I said foolishly as I summoned the sword that as far as I knew was meant to take my life but as soon as I placed the blade close to my throat the blade disappeared and that is when he appeared.
Another outcast who was discarded by his family and had nothing but the gift of being one of the very few who were better than me, even though he wasn't even a mid level demon, he was a low ranking demon right there at the bottom of the food chain but he was still so calm when he saw me try to do the unthinkable.
''You know this sword is called the summoning of chaos and not the killing of chaos, right? Not to mention that you actually dared to try to control chaos itself? You are crazy, though, really. What sane person would try to kill himself?''
It will always be the last question that will make me think, what was I thinking when I decided to kill myself? Did I even think about the potential of where my life could go if I didn't kill myself?
Though his answer to the question I asked him in return did make him seem like a hypocrite before he explained himself.
''Why did YOU come here?''
His answer was surprising and each time I remember what happened I'm still surprised.
''I want to kill myself''
I tried to call him a hypocrite but in return he said...
''I'm not sane, even now seeing another being as miserable as me in the area just gave me hope.
What sane person, even a half human half demon like me would get hope from the fact that he is not the only one who suffers?''
This question, I would always want to find the answer to it.
Even though this part of the talk will always pick my interest, the next part is what really changed my life.
''Let me give you a reason''
That is what he said and so I asked him...
''A reason for what?''
His answer is the interesting part.
''A reason for the both of us to live''
He said it with a smile that radiated confidence that made me trust what he said next.
''You will be my subordinate and so you will live for your leader and I would live to defend my subordinate, and if you want to know why I need a subordinate, the answer is simple. I want to destroy everything both that asshole Satan made and the creations of his father, that shitty god''
After that, I asked him for his name and he told me his name is...
''Danniel the bastard son of Satan and the half man who will kill him''
And when I told him my name is Chaos, he laughed that now he understands why he is here on this day.
''Because you used that spell that is meant to summon chaos, I'm here to summon you, Chaos, the next king of the Greeks''
He gave me a purpose and for this, I will always thank him but now he is somewhere else and I was left behind to defend his maid, his guest, and his girlfriend as a demon knight in shining armor and I can't rely on him anymore.
Well, too bad, because I will wait for his return and then I will check if my summoning is still relevant.
But now it's not the time to think of him, now it's the time to prepper for the tournament'
''Yo, Chaos, are you okay?''
Mira asked Chaos.
''Ye... Yes, I'm fine. I just spaced out a bit''
Chaos answered.
''So, let's return to battle training''
Mira said and they both went to a wide and tall room in the hotel where they were staying until the start of the competition.
''Penetrabile lumen!''
Mira yelled and a blade of pure light appeared in her hand.
''Evocatio chaos''
Chaos said and reality around his hand started to fuse into a sword which he held in his hand but then the spell was deactivated.
''You are way too stiff; you need to chill a little. try going with the chaos instead of controlling it''
Mira said.
''You try to instruct me so much that I almost forgot that you still have not fixed your own problems. So, how did it go?''
Chaos said.
''She still hates me. I think that she thinks I'm his mistress or something, and so she hates me because she thinks he cheated on her with me''
Mira said with a hopeless expression on her face.
''I'll talk to her and see if I can solve the problem''
Chaos said.
''You are a life savior''
Mira said and hugged him tightly.
''Let me go''
Chaos said as he tried to get away.
''Let my brother go''
Jeanie said as she entered the room and saw how close Mira was to her brother.
''Brother, I need to...''
Jeanie started to say but was interrupted.
''Chaos, can we please talk in private somewhere''
Ishtar who went behind Jeanie said.
''Yea, sure''
Chaos said with a confused tone of voice because he never imagined Ishtar would come to him.
And so, Mira let him go and he went with Mira.

''Thank you for healing me''
Sara said as she was in the bed, barely capable of caring for herself.
''It's okay, I know you are very important to him and I don't want him to be sad if I can prevent it''
Emma said.
''Please don't be harsh on Mira, she truly is just his friend''
Sara said.
''I know but I just can't, I don't know why but the thought of having someone take him from me, keeps me up at night''
Emma said.
''I know but you should learn to rely on others who are not the young master''
Sara said.
''I will try''
Emma said.

''There is only one more week for the tournament to begin and we only know the whereabouts of Chaos' team, what should we do?''
Will said worryingly.
''It's okay, even if we will join back only with them and not meet up with Danny and Sun Wukong. it's not like those two would die any time soon''
Momotaro said.
''Hey, Momotaro. when should we meet up with the girls' team? I want to check on the heir to the throne''
Atlas asked.
''Soon enough, but for now, we need to focus on training because Will and I will never be able to survive in the tournament at our current level''
Momotaro answered.
''Then let's begin''
Atlas said with an excited smile.
