"Master, I think there is a big secret lying inside mistress," Galio told Yuki what he had guessed.
"But will sister be okay?" Yuki asked worriedly, as there were two more big guys present with the same strength as Alex.
Galio said with absolute confidence. "Of course she will. She is with Master Alex."
They were also outside of the ruins, up in the sky. Galio had put an invisibility spell on his shield, so no one saw them. Except for the High Gods, of course.
On the other side, Kailar felt that something might explode at any moment and asked Gladiar with sweat dripping down his face. "Should we leave?"
"Where should we leave?" Gladiar looked up in a daze. "Didn't you hear them? Destroying a planet is the last thing they are concerned about."
"Haha," Kailar gave a forced laugh. "You are right. But even if I die, I would be glad to see a fight of this level."
"You are right." Gladia agreed with him, with a slight yearning in his voice.
...
"Gentlemen." The silence that was permitted in the air broke because of Moltor."I have a suggestion."
Laimiar groaned at him."What is it?"
"This system is under my rule, and I can't let you destroy it. Also, I can't force you guys, as we are high gods and we are also stubborn people." Moltor said with a smile."So, how about we have a tournament between the fighters that are under you guys? And the winner of it can ask anything from the loser."
Before anything could go further, Alex asked. "Who will guarantee we will listen to each other?"
Alex liked this idea as he felt it would be fun and he could use his sons of destiny in it. But he was worried about other parties not agreeing after he won. And he had astronomical confidence in his ability to make them strong.
"Yes, Moltor. How could you make us do that?" Laimiar was as skeptical as Alex. However, he didn't agree for fun; he did it because he didn't want to see the destruction of his system.
"I am going to invite our Galactic Emperor," Moltor said calmly with a smile.
But his words seemed to have stirred some kind of heavy emotion inside Laimiar. He shouted out loud. "Moltor! Why are you inviting him? Do you think he would come to such a petty tournament of ours!?"
On the other hand, Alex became confused, as he only knew that High God was the highest realm. And the word "Galactic Emperor" seemed to be a realm, not a title.
While others were distressed to find that there seemed to be far more powerful guys than them.
"Because the Great Culling is coming. Our small tournament would be like a small ceremony before that." Moltor gave a smirk at Laimiar.
Laimiar immediately understood everything. Moltor was a new high god who was just a few centuries old. He wanted to use this chance to bring all of the other people's which was the whole Milkyways attention to him. He wanted to become famous and gain a little reputation.
Laimiar gritted his teeth."Moltor, you bastard."
"Just tell me how the tournament would be?" All of a sudden Alex asked with sparkling eyes. He never thought he would have struck gold. There seemed to be a big event coming, and he wanted to enjoy it in the back seat.
Moltor and Laimiar were dumbfounded by Alex's reaction. Still, Moltor didn't change his appearance, as he explained. "This tournament will be between geniuses who are under 18 and the powerhouses in the mortal realm. These powerhouses are basically those that are at the top of the rankings in your system."
"See? Simple and easy." With that, Moltor finished his explanation.
Laimiar asked."How many fighters could we take for each category?"
"Genius category for ten and the powerhou- no, Dragon category for five." Moltor said that as he turned his head at Laimiar and gave him a smirk. "We have six months' time for preparation, and I think you should hurry as you also seem to be lacking people in the dragon category."
"I know the Lord is already watching. To think you have planned so much. Just wait after I win this." Laimiar glared at Moltor and left.
After he vanished, Moltor then turned his head to Alex."Sir, can we go somewhere peaceful for a little chatting?"
"Sure," Alex agreed immediately, and he teleported Monia, Yuki, and Galio to their home. He felt that the place was peaceful. Moltor followed behind them.
Finally, the place became peaceful. But the information everyone heard made the whole place explode.
Kailar said this to Gladiar with a forced smile. "Do you think that sir would be picking us or he might have his own force?"
"I don't think he has his own force. He had to choose from us. The whole world will be in chaos, Kailar." Gladiar said calmly.
"And you want to join in?" Kailar asked back.
Gladiar turned back and looked into his eyes. He smiled at him. "Don't you wanna too?"
Kailar grew a smile on his face that Gladiar couldn't see because of his mask."Of course. I don't want to miss this."
"Let's go and train some more." Gladiar walked away. "We will be representing our world."
...
"Now, care to bring some tea for our guest?" Alex said this to Monia with a smile.
Monia didn't expect him to not even mention her disability getting fixed. But seeing him smile, she knew he didn't want anything for that; he would be happy with being his friend.
"Yes," Monia gave a sweet smile and went to make tea.
Alex retracted Galio back into his death realm and sat beside a table. "Please, come."
Moltor sat down and smiled at Alex."You made quite a noise, sir."
"And, you want to sit here too, kid?" He then turned his head at Yuki and asked him courteously.
Yuki stuttered a bit before agreeing. "Y- Yes."
