*FSSHHH!*
Within a large city filled with countless amount of giant skyscrapers reaching the clouds, a cute but handsome little boy teleported to the center of a busy street.
This was of course Xander who teleported instantly to planet Gaia, and best of all no one saw him because Xander was hiding his presence from the world making him invisible to all.
Xander then began to look around, and he saw many large buildings, countless amount of flying vehicles, and much, much more.
He even saw kids and adults flying in the air so casually. While robots were picking trash off the ground.
While many people were buying merchandise from the local stores as well, this didn't surprise Xander this world was a type two civilization. And the humans here have evolved to the point they can easily breathe in space and fly a quarter of the speed of light if they want to.
They have colonized countless amount of planets, and done so many more amazing technological feats as well.
But despite this advance and beautifully crafted technological utopia, Xander had no interest in the aesthetics, he came here for one reason, and one reason only.
And that was to meet the Dark Merchant.
And after walking the streets of Gaia City for a couple of minutes, that's when he came across a small store, with the sign.
"Balaabin."
"Finally im here."
Not wasting any more time, Xander walked in, however upon walking in, he was met with the deep and masculine voice of a man saying.
"Hmm. An apostle ha, well, well, it's been a while since I met one, although you're quite the young one most honorable guest, hmm. No your body appears to be that of a five-year-old, but your soul rival the primordials in terms of age, interesting."
Xander's eyes instantly went to the man, he was a tall man wearing full silver body armor, and around him was a large cloak that was a deep red, and above it was a black fabric that covers his head, and the man also had a weird mask on that covered his entire face.
He was standing in front of Xander, as he said.
"Come in, come in... I presume you are Lord ΩΑδ right?"
When Xander heard this his eyes open up in surprise as he look at the man and ask.
"You... Know who I am?"
Xander said in amazement, to which the armored man said.
"Yes, you see I good friends with All Mother and her other chosen as well, rumors have it that she finally chose an apostle."
"Is that so? Well, it's not a lie."
"Hahaha... Well, let's get down to business then, I presume you are a UG holder?"
Xander smiled at this as he summons fort mysterious looking gem, that shines a variation of all colors, he then tossed it toward the Dark Merchant who grab it with excitement, while looking at it and saying.
"Marvelous, truly marvelous indeed, Haha. Very well come this way Lord ΩΑδ, let me show you my merchandise, im sure you will be pleased to see what I have."
Signal the merchant, as he tosses back the UG to Xander, which he caught effortlessly.
He then looks at the mysterious merchant as he opens a door leading to the back room. Xander then began to follow the Dark Merchant who began to talk a little about himself.
"Hahaha. It's not every day you get to meet a UG holder, this alone puts you above most people in the Omniversal heriachy, ahh. It's been a while since a saw one, but I was sure you would be a holder of such magnificent gems seeing that you are the All Mothers Apostle, anyway, let me introduce myself, my name is Hakan Balaabin, and this universe although a weak one is my home world, you see I have watched this place develop for thousands of year's already before I got the opportunity to become a Dark merchant thanks to Lord Hastur generosity."
"I have spent eons watching over this universe, but enough of me, you honorable customer, so tell me Lord ΩΑδ is there anything, in particular, you are looking for?"
Hakan asked Xander in a curious tone, Xander himself was prepared this time around, however, he knew he lack offensive techniques, and under the watchful eyes of the Seraphs, he also knew he would have limited opportunities to train.
With this problem in mind, he began to explain his situation to Hakan, hopefully, he could get some advice from him, and maybe he could even give him a suitable technique to cultivate.
Hakan listen attentively, as he also took great pride in his job as a Dark Merchant, and after hearing Xander's story he smiled as he said.
"I see; interesting, so you need techniques that can be practiced in plane sight without being noticed by others interesting indeed, hmmm... Hey lord ΩΑδ your part of the Something race right?"
Xander eyes open up in surprise at the merchant's knowledge, but he didn't question it and just replied with a nod.
"Good, that's good, if that's the case then that might work."
"What do you have in mind Hakan?"
Xander kindly asked.
While Hakan himself just chuckled as he said while approaching another door.
"Hahaha. You will see my lord, I have a technique that requires a serious amount of meditation and patience to master, however, once mastered to a great degree there will only be a few people in creation that can match up to you, and with all honesty, I wanted to sell it for 150,000,000,000 UGs minimal, but it's hard to find UG holders, and even when I find them, they're not compatible with this power, at this point this thing is just taking dusk on my shelf, so let's make a deal."
"A deal?"
"Yes, a deal, you see I have four children and two wives, however im afraid I won't be able to see them again in this world."
"Ha, why so?"
Xander asks a little curious. To which Hakan answered as such.
"Well, believe it or not, I'm the next candidate for being the Apostle of the Yellow King, Lord Hastur's conquer of worlds, however, I won't be able to return until my training with his greatness Hastur is complete."
When Xander heard this he was surprised, like what were the chances of meeting the future Apostle.
"I see so you're going to become something like me haha, well good for you."
"Well, you are my senior, any tips?"
"Hahaha... Good one Hakan, im only your senior by a mere four months, you can say that both I and you are amateurs in this field."
"Of course, I do wish you the best of luck as the Apostle of the All-Mother, that woman is a part of the Big Three."
"The Big Three?"
Xander asked curiously, to which Hakan replied.
"Yeah, she is the mother of outer Gods the All mother, and second only to the All-powerful king trapped by the silver key, and below her is her son, the All-knowing YogG, the eye beyond creation."
"Wait she is that high up?"
"Hahaha you have no idea Lord ΩΑδ, the All mother is the most feared outer God, she is All because All came from her, however the only outer Gods she has not given birth to is the All-powerful king trapped by the silver key, he existed in the time long before creation."
"Seems like a big deal."
Xander replied amazed by the new news.
However, Hakan open the door and bowed once more, and said.
"Please this way."
Xander followed suit, and when he entered the room he was shocked to see that before him was a giant storeroom filled with all types of mystical stuff, like giant jellyfish statues, weird tentacle swords, and many other things.
However, Hakan walked past Xander, as he went to the top shelf pulled out a mystical-looking box, and gave it to Xander.
However, when Xander went to fetch it Hakan move it away from his grip.
Xander went to get it again, but he did the same thing.
"What's the problem Hakan?"
Xander asks a little annoyed.
"You still haven't made a promise to me as yet."
"That being."
Hakan smiled as he said.
"Can you be my family guardian deity?"
"Guardian deity?"
"Yeah, I want them to live a happy life, and let's be honest I know your the God of this world, all I want is for them to bless by the highest order, while I go to become the next Apostle of the Yellow king."
Ppl
When Xander hears this, his eyes open up in surprise, and he began to think as he said.
"That depends, what do you have in this box that warrants my divine blessing?"
"I knew you would say that now then let me explain, you see this box contains the corpse of an ancient primordial evil, that was said to be an outer God creation, it was made to destroy everything that it considered more beautiful than its master."
"However when the beast matured it took a beautiful form so unforgettable that just looking at the beast would cause the absolute death of any who saw its incomprehensible beauty up close."
"In envy, the creator killed its creation and seal its unkillable body in this box, and if you devoured its body slowly and in tiny intervals at that, for about once every two years, then you will inherit its poisonous attributes, it not a technique but a very powerful body modification."
"The name of this beast is the Lelouinarriaan, in eldritch that means "she with a poisonous heart", be warned my lors, this poison is so potent, every attack down to conceptual ones will be plastered with this esoteric nightmare of poison, it's already split into nine pieces."
"This means nine levels of potency, at the ninth level you can kill most Gods, so it would take you eighteen years, to absorb this entirely, now then is this enough to warrant your blessing?"
The Dark merchant asks with a confident tone.
