Chereads / The Archon King / Chapter 12 - Chapter 11: The Orbs

Chapter 12 - Chapter 11: The Orbs

I entered my room. I watched in satisfaction as I saw nothing changed everything remianed the same. My PC, my chess boards, my bed which didn't have a single piece of dust on. Ahh, my regular clothes. I put on what I used to wear. I put on a a black t shirt and trousers on. I fell into my bed and smiled as I felt the comfort.

"Hermes turn off the lights."

The lights of my room turned of instantly. I closed my eyes and fell into a deep sleep. I woke up after twelve hours to my sister shouting at me to wake me up.

"SHUT THE F*CK UP LILITH I'M AWAKE!"

"OKAY LAERTES. WELL THEN GET UP AND BRUSH YOUR TEETH THEN GO TO THE LEISURE ROOM!"

I went to brush my teeth then entered the leisure room. I found Arthur and the others there but Pandora was absent. I played a variety of games with the others which I won all of them effortlessly.

After a few minutes...

I finished my shower and put on my regular clothes. My red turtle-neck and black skirt. I went downstairs to the leisure room and found Levantes sitting with tea in his hand. I then looked around the room and saw the others infront of a chess board but no one was on the other side of the table. Arthur and my brother had 4D chess while the others were playing regular chess.

"Checkmate." Levantes said as the rest of them realized their mistake.

"How do you always win?"

"Well when you find out everyway to win in both types of chess it's easy to find multiple ways with the same amount of moves to win."

"Pandora how about a game of chess?"

"Okay then."

"A person who can see the future verses someone who can do the same but more."

As the pieces clattered on the boards we both thought for what seemed like nanoseconds but I was actually thinking for a few hours but due to Thought Acceleration: Level 10, 5 hours of thinking time equalled to 5 nanoseconds in real time. Each level is 10x faster than the previous level. A game like chess increases this skill by a lot.

As I thought of placing where the piece should be Levantes told me how many moves till checkmate.

"Do that and it's 8 moves. Do that and it's 5. 10. 3. 6. 2. Do that and it's checkmate."

"I guess I'll do this then."

"You chose the 9 moves one then."

Levantes could plan things that even beings beyond space and time could not see. Unluckily for me I'm only a 60 dimensional being.

"Checkmate."

"So that 209,018,682 losses and 0 wins."

"In total that's 317,928,817,018,747,419,818,939,019 wins and 2 losses."

"How'd it get to that?"

"There's a lot of humans who like losing."

"Ahem."

Arthur coughed and so did I even though I'm only half human but Arthur was full human.

"You're one of them."

"I know you're joking."

"Sure."

"Okay then let's discuss the orbs."

"Finally Themis you have finally said something useful."

"You do know I was a student council president-"

"I have found them sire."

"Thank you Longwang.

"Where is it?"

"Yggdrasil."

"YGGDRASIL."

"Was I not clear enough Iris?"

"Yeah but Yggdrasil. That's so far."

"Yeah but I can get there in a few seconds."

"But who's gonna go with you?"

"I'm not gonna force anyone to."

"I'll go with you."

"Are you sure Pandora?"

"Yes."

"I'll come as well then."

"Fine Arthur."

"No Arthur you need to go get your own orb because we can't get it."

"That's true."

"I'll go with Arthur."

"Okay so me and Pandora is going to Yggdrasil and Arthur and Cynthia is going to Earth."

"And we'll stay in the house."

"Themis get the groceries."

"WHY ME?

"Do as I say?"

"Pandora help me here I'm your older brother."

"No."

"WHYYYYYY?

"Okay then we're going."

We walked out to the front and jumped into space. We flew through the otheoses and after a few seconds we reached Yggdrasil.

"It's so big."

"Well obviously. It's at least trillions of times larger than the Cosmic Void."

"We just need to find the orb."

"How can we in this large place?"

"I can help."

We both looked back to see a woman about in her early thirties with gold hair and purple eyes.

"Mum?"

"Ahh you came back."

Levantes and his mother talked while I stayed silent behind them.

"Where are you taking us?"

"Don't worry about that darling."

"Levantes I never thought you'd bring back a girl."

"She's Pandora."

"What?"

"Pandora the elf princess."

"Oh it's been so long Pandora!"

"Yes it has mother- I mean Mrs Volomir."

"You didn't say that before. You used to call me Aunt Hemera."

"Aunt Hemera."

Aunt Hemera was the Queen of the Spirits. She had a large halo hovering behind her back.

"Let's go inside then."

"Inside where-?"

"So you live on Yggdrasil."

"Yeah. I'm an Akyros rank. What about you Pandora?"

"I'm Complex Dimensional rank."

"I see. And you Levantes?"

"You know I'm Archon."

"I see. I don't approve of you Pandora."

"Huh? Why?"

"I was only joking but you seemed pretty serious."

"N-N-N-No." My face became beat red from blushing.

"But my son is so dense he wouldn't realise."

"Realise what?"

"N-N-N-NOTHING!"

"Your girlfriend's getting angry."

I fainted from blushing at this moment.

"Shit! Are you okay?"

When I woke up I saw Aunt Hemera talking to Levantes.

"Look who's awake."

"Levantes can I have a piece of that cake."

"Sure."

I felt the fork go into my mouth as I ate the cake but I was still half asleep to realise.

"Why are you smiling Aunt Hemera?"

"You just had an indirect kiss with my son why would I be."

"A what?"

I finally realized. I passed out a second time.

As I awoke a second time I heard Aunt Hemera say,

"Don't let her go to sleep again."

"Pandora wake up we're not going to find the orb at this rate."

"My liege I have found it."

"Where?"

"Ohhh that orb. Yeah it's in my backyard."

"Why do you have my army in your backyard?"

"I forgot about it until now."

"Can I see them then."

We went to the backyard of Aunt Hemera and saw a dark orb, so dark it absorbed the photons nearby.

"Acensio Nekroi."

Soldiers came out from the ground as the dark orb became smaller. All the soldiers bowed down to Levantes.

"We are yours to command my liege."

"Rise. Chronos tell me what happened in my absence."

A soldier about 6' 2", dark red hair and blue eyes with a halo behind him came forward.

"My king. We don't remember what happened we can only remember inside the orb and before my king reincarnated."

"I see."

"Lycan. Do you know how I can get back the power I lost?"

A man with dark blue hair and dark blue eyes with a halo behind him came forward.

"My Lord I'm sure you know the answer."

"So you think the same. Soldiers do you remember my mana beast, Longwang."

"Yes, we remember Archon Longwang."

"Asterith. Could you explain how and why I got reincarnated."

"To be honest my liege I do not remember."

"Okay then. All of you return to my shadow."

Trillion of small dark red orbs went into the ground suddenly shadows moved into Levantes's shadow.

"What's your army's status now then?"

"1 Archon, 5 Grand Marshalls, 7 Generals, 23 commanders, 350 trillion grand mages, 100 trillion sentinels, 750 trillion warriors, 100 quadrillion mages, 30 quadrillion archers, 500 quadrillion soldiers, 950 million giants, 6,301.2 quintillion mana beasts and 250 thousand dragons."

"What's the ranks?"

"Archon is Akyros class, Grand Marshalls are Akyros rank, generals are all Omni ranks, commanders are all apostle ranks, grand mages are complex dimensional ranks, sentinels are also dimensional ranks, warriors are divine ranks, mages and archers are both Complex Asura rank, soldiers are Low Dimensional ranks, giants are all divine ranks, beasts are all Asura rank and dragons are all divine class to low Omni class."

"What can Archon ranks do?"

"They can destroy existence with ease my sweet Pandora."

"Ok we're gonna go back now so goodbye mother."

"Goodbye, remember to come back with my grandchildren."

We both returned to the house. What awaited at home was not anything we expected.
