Chereads / Divine Rivalry: Sons Of Ascendance / Chapter 24 - Popularity

Chapter 24 - Popularity

Upon defeating the titans and returning to the bases with minimal injuries, it was revealed to them that it was intentional as a way of training by the emperor.

"This! I cannot accept this! We could have died, My lord!" Protested the scouts.

The king raised his arm pointing at the crowd and told them to rest easy.

A sudden news appeared about a sighting of a mysterious man in a black robe standing on air.

Yoru spoke, "I saw him too, I was just about to remove his cloak with my hooks, but he disappeared right infront of my eyes."

The attention of the crowd went to her all of a sudden.

The news reporters rushed to her asking questions like who he was and why he was there.

Kuramoto, staring at them from a distance on top of a tree.

"Good grief, I just wanted to help them out, who knew I was so popular."

Then, one citizen pointed at Kuramoto on top of the tree yelling "HE IS THE MYSTERIOUS SCOUT! I HEARD HIM SAYING THAT JUST NOW!"

Kuramoto, shocked by it, replied back "What? I didn't, I was sleeping, you can ask Your about it."

Yoru hesitated and later confirmed that he was indeed asleep.

It removed the allegations against him.

He exhaled a deep sigh of relief.

"If I was my original self with my powers, I could have ended the world just then. But sadly, This shitty empire ruined it!" He tightened fist while saying that.

"Oh well, nothing can be changed now."

"Do I just tell them that I'm the guy they're searching for? Or maybe I should just keep it to myself in case I get blamed for intruding in the training?" He asked himself.

With the conclusion being, ofcourse, announcing that he is him. (The mysterious man)

"LISTEN EVERYONE! IM SORRY I LIED! BUT I AM THE MAN WHO KILLED THE TITANS AND WAS STANDING MID AIR!"

but sadly, no one had believed him.

They asked him to prove his abilities.

"Oh? Are you sure? You might get killed just in case."

"We are sure, just do it." Announced the King.

He activated Demonic eyes to its first level as to not cause any damages and jumps super high right from the tree branch.

He landed on an invisible platform made solely for him to stand on.

"Now, Do you believe me?"

Everyone was shocked now that he proved he was him.

Everyone nodded their head in agreement.

While most of them were amazed by this unique ability shown by Kuramoto and some girls, who admired his looks, now completely his fan-girls, On the other hand, there were also people who despised Kuramoto.

"What an unexpected turn of events, I thought it would be some bigshot, but it turns out to be my unfaithful weak brother." Higashi enters through the hole forged for the titans to come by.

Higashi, Dressed in a cultivator's outfit, a long white patterned robe with his long hair tied up behind him.

Higashi moved up to Kuramoto's level in a split second, standing right infront of him.

"I'm not that weak guy you knew before, Brother."

"Do you want to end this now?" Replied Higashi.

"Im fine with that" smirked Kuramoto.

"PAUSE! NO FIGHTS HERE! DO IT OUTSIDE THE WALLS IF U WANT TO FIGHT!"Shouted the commander.

"You want to fight for real?" Asked Kuramoto.

He replied while grabbing his shoulder, "Obviously not, brother.. I'm here to just make up to you."

"That's not true, You obviously have a killing intent surrounding you."

"You noticed? Even the lowest of the lowest rat with a spiritual root can sense my energy."

"A rat..? You compared me to a rat!?" Said Kuramoto, enraged.

"Yes, I said what I said."

"Let's fight right now, we will see who is superior."

Kuramoto teleports both of them outside the walls.

"I might as well go all out if I'm fighting YOU."

"Go ahead, Little brother, Do you see all those titan bodies? I killed them in a single strike."

"Even father couldn't kill them with a single strike, There's no way in hell you can do that."

"Oh, Father? He is far weaker than me now, even if he has the absolute authority under his name, he is nothing but just a small fry to me."

"You dare disrespect father, You will pay for this!" He rushed forward closing the distance with a punch but Higashi dodging it.

"You have gone completely evil, We weren't raised this way! What happened to you!" Questioned Kuramoto still fighting one on one with his hands just in case he injures his brother.

"Just being with evil people made you like this! Come to the good side! We can still go back to our old relations!"

"Sorry Little Brother, I can't, I have made a promise to them."

"Who is them now!?"

"You will find out soon" replied Higashi.
