"Brother, Omniscient one is waiting for you"
"Okay, let's meet with that old man."
Both of them are about to leave from there but the Royal Knight stops them.
"Emperor Xen, now please handover those crystal swords...."
"Hey Kujo, give him those swords."
"Emperor Xen, only you're allowed to give those swords to me."
Xen becomes a little bit annoyed but he takes those swords from Yatoru-Kujo and passes down to the Royal Knight. But the Royal Knight accepts those swords with as much as respect possible. Even he kneels down.
Just after he received those swords, white flash light dropped on him from the sky.
Xen and Hedro step back after seeing that. And the Royal Knight at an instant disappeared from there with white light.
"Ryan, come with me..... Hedro let's go...."
"Ryan will stay with me both of you can leave now."
Xen looks at Fiona, she is holding Ryan's hand. With a smile he leaves from there with Hedro.
"Father, don't take much time!!!"
Both brothers smiled while looking at Ryan.
"Hedro, where's your daughter?"
"She leaves from there with father."
.

While walking on the corridor Xen and Hedro started some serious conversations
"Hedro, what's the feeling with two wives?"
"...."
"You didn't answer my question."
"Are you really.....?"
"Yeah of course, I'm serious."
"I don't want to tell you."
"Then I would like to ask you something else."
"Go ahead."
"It's about Kevin."
"Xen, you know how strong he actually is. I just try to avoid the fight as much as possible."
"Then what will you do on your next encounter with him."
"I believe you will stop the war... At the end of the day, you're the 4th Emperor."
"Don't expect much from someone like me."
"I really expect many things from you. How many times have you slept with Fiona?"
"You and your words..."
"Both are great."
Both of them finally arrived in front of a huge door. Xen and Hedro slowly pushed the door. When the door opens the first thing Xen notices is an old man with black cape sitting on a chair or so called throne. His hair is too long and white. The entire room isn't normal. It's a flower garden and the old man is present in the middle of the garden. And he is observing the outside view of sunset through the glass wall.
"Hey old man it's me, Emperor Xen."
Both Hedro and Xen observed him but he didn't look at them.
Both of them come on his side. They found out the old man is smiling all the time.
"Hey why are you smiling. I'm the 4th Emperor, you must show some respect, old man!"
"...4th Generation strongest Emperor, Emperor Xen, you are not even close to others. You are not even the strongest person on your time. But you are the only one who is worthy for the Red blooded spear."
"What do you really want to say?"
"Just what I'm saying."
"Omniscient one, Xen is really strong you can't deny that."
The omniscient one slowly raises his head and smiles more than before but he doesn't look at them.
"Strong? You were stronger in the past."
"I accept that, now I'm not strong enough."
"..'Enough'? Don't make me laugh."
"If you are going to continue those words then I would like to leave now."
.
.
.
But Omniscient one stop him....
"Xen how much you know about history, about the other three Emperors and about two great events."
"Not much, so please go ahead."
The Omniscient one smiled as he listened to Xen's response, and started telling the history of the Emperors.
"Okay I'll start from the beginning.... The history of Emperors.....
The first emperor 'Xihun', the nature itself. After his war against powerful existence he created this world around 15000 years ago. He just created a totally simple round world.
After that the 2nd Emperor changed the world system and setup. 2nd Emperor also created lands systems from the top of ground level and the floating home of fallen stars above the sky, that event also known as the Great creation.
But after that the 3rd Emperor came. He is the true definition of power and strength. His strength is comparable with the First Emperor. Many elders and fallen stars believe that he is way stronger than the First Emperor, the Nature itself. The 3rd emperor is the reason why 'WAR OF GREAT DESTRUCTION' happened back then, around 5000 years ago.
When the Omniscient one mentioned the 'WAR OF GREAT DESTRUCTION'.... Xen couldn't stop laughing.
"Yeah I know about that, the war where you all lost other 6 crystal swords."
"Xen, you are still roasting them in front of the Omniscient one."
.
.
"Then I'm at least stronger than the 2nd Emperor."
After hearing that from Xen, the Omniscient one also smiles. But his words become serious as well.
"I just don't know. The 2nd Emperor is just a mysterious person. I don't even know about the 2nd Emperor gender not even the age and power or understanding.... Xen, The palace where we all are leaving now is just the rest of the world part, which still exists after the Great war."
"What do you mean?"
"Actually when the 2nd Emperor changed the world. Then there were total 72 lands in the entire world. The sizes of those all 72 lands were exactly same and equal, The radius of each lands were around 2 kilometres. 8 of them were the main lands and each lands had 8 supporting lands. Means every main land has 8 supporting or small branch lands. And that's how the total number of land were 72. But after the Great war of destruction only one main land survived with 8 supporting lands."
Hedro became serious after hearing that. But Xen is just shocked.... It's like he just realised something...
"That means..."
"Yeah you get it. Now The main land became the central star land and other branch lands become 8 main lands. More importantly now those lands total radius doesn't even cover 10% of the world. Can you assume the size of the previous world that were round like a ball."
"What you mean by 'were round'???"
"Hey young Prince, didn't you try to reach out the edge of the world. Or I say, Didn't you try to reach the end of the horizon."
"How can I reach out the edge of something which is in a spherical shape."
After observing all of that stuff, Xen finally figured out something...
"No Hedro now I'm clear. The more I went in the direction of the horizon, the more it felt like I was climbing a mountain."
Xen slowly moved his face. While observing the sunset he said...
"Because this world isn't a spherical shape, it's a Flat world like a plate."
.
.
.
Both Hedro and Xen are silent after figuring out that. They deeply think about all of that stuff. It's like, since this is a flat world that's why the centre of mass is present around the part of central star land. Which is the middle point of this flat world. That's why the attraction of gravity works in the direction of the center point of this flat world. But They didn't notice it till now because they live around the area centre part of the world. Over that they live on the top of ground surface that's why for their point of view the gravity works on down direction. But if they go far way for the center point of the world, only then they will feel that the gravity isn't working as like they think.
.
.
"Hey old man you say you don't know about 2nd Emperor understanding, isn't that obvious that the power would be related to crystal. Since the 1st emperor created this world with crystal and those pillars of lands made with crystal."
"Probably you are right or probably you are not. Because it's not important to become something to change that thing. By the way the name of the Crystal-like matter is 'Lyuxination'. The Pillars, those crystal swords and even the planet made out of that."
"Yeah I got it..... You are Omniscient but you still doubt."
"I connect myself with the tree of knowledge one time in 10 years. But that was my last time."
"Are you going to die???"
"Are you happy?"
"Think whatever you want."
"Yeah I'm thinking..... I'm happy you stopped smoking."
"Don't make me laugh, I just didn't have my favourite smoking pipe!!"
"Xen now let us leave from there."
"Okay let's go."
.
.
"Xen, wait a moment and Hedro please wait for him on the outside it won't take long and yeah please close the door. I have something to tell this Emperor."
As he said Hedro came out from the room and closed the door. He didn't even try to hear what they were talking about.
.
.
.
.
After a while Hedro noticed that the door was slowly opening. He was a little bit curious. But after seeing Xen, he is just shocked. Xen is now wearing the black cape which belongs to the Omniscient one. He is holding his spear on his right hand. The Spear is red but still anyone can notice the blood. Blood is slowly dropping off and leaving behind blood drop mark on the floor.
Hedro thinks for a moment to kill Xen with one attack. But he calmed down.
"If you want to kill me then just go ahead."
"You know your actions better."
"Yeah I know, now we can leave."
Hedro didn't ask him once, anything about the Omniscient one because he believed in his brother's actions. Or he just started to doubt it now...
.
.
.
Both of them come in the hall room through the corridor.
"Aren't you excited to know the last words of Omniscient one?"
"I'm excited but I don't think I need to know. Because those words belong to you now."
They both stop walking and stand on a place face to face on 3 metre distance. Xen tightly grabbed his spear.
.
**
...
"Hey old man what do you want to say?"
Omniscient one takes off his black cape and gives it to Xen.
"Young man, I don't understand your actions. But I desperately want to understand. I'm a fallen star but I'm not physically that strong. But my authority is too much in the entire world. I can order Young fallen stars who are so strong."
"What kind of bullshit are you saying?"
"At that time you're so weak and defenceless."
The omniscient one for the first time looks at Xen properly with cold eyes. He clearly knows which type of person Xen is now. On the top of that he is an Omniscient existence. Xen tightly grabbed his spear and looks at the cape that the Omniscient one gives to him.
"4th Emperor Xen I told everything that I wanted to. Now you can do whatever you want."
With a mysterious smile Xen put the cape on his shoulder. After that Xen directly pierce his heart. The spear pierce Omniscient one from behind and coming out of his chest. After confirming, Xen takes out his spear and leaves the dead body of the Omniscient one on the chair. He doesn't even look back once.

"Hedro go ahead...."
Before they can start their fight, Fiona and others find out them. Ryan jumped and tightly hugged him.
"Hey what are you two doing?"
Because of their interference, Hedro moved his face away from them.
"Nothing, I'll take my leave now....."
Kujo looked at Hedro with suspicious eyes. Hedro didn't look at them not even for once. Fiona also noticed that.
"Father what you were doing all the time?"
"Hey man, Young prince Hedro is too serious. Don't tell me you two...."
"You got that. If you all weren't there at the right time. Then one of us will end up dying in that place. It's probably me."
Fiona looks at Xen's new black cape, but then she notices the blood on his red spear. It doesn't take long to understand what exactly happened.
"Xen, your this action is really on a different level. Are you ready for the aftermath?"
"Fiona, the old man is the one who allowed me to do that. And no one will question me. If they wanted to take revenge on me, they would have already sent some young Fallen Stars."
Fiona properly fixed the black cape with his shoulder. After observing the atmosphere Kujo took Ryan from there.
"Hey where are you taking me. I want to stay there."
"Come with me I'll give you a little sword."
.
.
"Fiona I don't know what I'll do now. Hedro moved his face away, my memories are blurred. I'm just....."
"Xen calm down they will definitely come back..."
.
.
.
As their eyes locked, Fiona touched his cheek and gripped his neck. Xen leaned closer and gently gripped her waist. his fingers tracing the delicate curve of her jaw. With that both of their lips met: kiss each other....
