"Master Zendaya." Zeras called out.
"Just call me master."
"Yes master, I just wanted to ask if you could please save my siblings." Zeras pleaded, his voice shivering slightly.
"No need to worry disciple...they are all going to find their own path."
He didn't understand what his master was talking about, 'what path! What is he talking about.'
"Master please, please...save my siblings."
Zeras begged profusely, as tears that had refused to drop from his eyes gradually dripped down slowly but surely.
The old man, Zendaya touched his beards.
'How can I make you understand kid...Trying to save them will only affect their destined path...I would be doing more damage than good...their path of trajectory can't be changed.'
"Fate isn't what one should attempt to mess with...and you meeting me is fate."
The old man said, as he suddenly took a step.
Appearing behind Zeras, and before Zeras could understand what was happening.
Peng!!!
The sound of the back of his head being hit rang out, as he suddenly blackened out; losing vision of his entire surroundings.
'why?'
That was the last thought on his mind, as his eyes lost' its' dim.
Old man Zendaya dusted his hands.
A bright smile spread across his face.
'who would have expected my luck to be so high...just a random journey across the various continents had managed to produce such a terrific genius...'
"hahaha"
The old man laughed heartedly as he finally spoke.
"Alright, time to leave this low level continent behind." Zendaya said, as he suddenly dissapeared with Zeras within his arms.
To God knows where
*******
Damien could be seen scurrying around within a cave, as he tried to find various paths which he could take within the cave.
They where so many minor cave within the big cave as he continued running around.
Panting heavily, as he entered various caves...moving in a zig zag pattern.
Yet he could still hear the voice of his pursuers.
"What a tricky bastard!"
"When I catch him...he will regret ever being born."
I have to escape, I have to." Damien muttered desperately, as he moved through various minor paths that lead to various smaller caves which lead to intricate smaller caves.
'Wonder who built this place...i have to really thank the person.' Damien had a light smile on his face, as it seemed that he was finally losing his pursuers; at least it ensured they won't be gaining up on him anytime soon.
But the problem remains...what should he do within this period of time or what could he even do and most importantly.
"Where the hell am I."
Damien raised his head, as he saw various glowing orbs illuminating the cave which he stood in.
This one was different from the rest...he could feel it.
The true essence within this place was far more denser than any other place he had ever been.
He suddenly moved forward. Immediately he moved forward, he felt as though a kind of divine consciousness swept across his body.
That feeling felt so surreal yet he had no doubt that it was actually true.
Because in the next moment. An holographic image suddenly appeared in the middle of the cave.
Showing the face of a middle aged man, with black hair and deep black eyes.
"Finally after thousands of years, finally found a worthy participant."
The man from the holograph of sort suddenly spoke.
As Einstein was surprised but not shocked...Although he hadn't seen it before...he knew they existed.
"What do you mean by worthy participant." Damien questioned, his brows raised up.
"Nothing really much...all you need to know is as long as you complete the trial...you will be able to become this Lords' disciple."
"And why the hell would I want to be your disciple...what qualifications do you have to take me as your disciple." Damien said with an arrogant expression on his face.
"such arrogance coming from a weakling...isn't that the same thing as being stupid."
The middle aged man said, he paused for a second before he further added.
"As for what qualifications I have to be your master...The strongest person on this continent not being worthy enough to lick the soles of my boot. Is that more than enough?"
"Hmph...the strongest person on this continent isn't worth enough to lick the soles of your boots...who the hell do you think you are. Fine... let's even assume you are indeed as strong as you claim to be."
A sly glint suddenly flashed within Damien's eyes.
'If this man is indeed as strong as he claims to be...perhaps...just perhaps...he can save us.'
"Save my siblings from the men in black that are after us all, and then I might believe you."
The man suddenly had a smile appear on his face.
"Kid, want to play this lord. You are still too tender. Anyways...I have already checked into it with a divination technique."
"Divination technique!!!" Damien replied in shock." You mean those legendary techniques that can be used to divine about missing things, divine about a person's whereabout, and even peer into one's destiny."
The man had a smug expression on his face.
"Yes, that one."
"And what did it say...are my siblings safe...his voice shivered a little before he further added.
Did they also somehow escape."
"Well one of them has already escaped..."
The middle aged man replied with a nonchalant expression.
As Damien's golden pupils suddenly lit up.
"Which one of them already escaped?" He asked in ecstacy.
"Well...although strangely even with the karma and fate bounding you and your siblings...I couldn't really see through the boy quite well...but yeah."
The middle aged man suddenly clicked his hands as though in rememberace of something.
"He had green eyes."
"Green eyes, green eyes." Damien mused.
"That's surely zeras."
He suddenly remembered something.
"What of my other siblings?" He questioned.
"Well, I can't really define much about you and your brothers."
'it even felt as though if I didn't have good intentions...I would have been...injured.'
The middle aged man found that hard to believe as he further added with a smile.
"But I can say for sure...with the great level of protection shrouding them...killing them at this point in time would be harder than ascending the heavens in one single step."
'he can't see through their fate, killing them at this point will be very difficult...even harder than ascending the heavens in a single step.'
Damien memorized all this, etching it within him.
"Hope you guys don't die." Damien muttered with a smile.
"Alright, you will be teleported in. 3, 2, 1"
"Wait...what do you mean by I will be teleported.
What of the Trial...what of my siblings."
But there was nothing Damien could do, as a portal suddenly appeared before him.
Sucking him within it, as no matter how hard he tried to resist it...it was just a futile attempt from him which he had come to realize.
"See you in a few hours...or days..."
The middle aged man said, as Damien saw a bright smile on the man's face, just as he was about to be dragged into the portal.
He cursed out.
"Fuck you old man!" before he was dragged into the portal.
As soon as the portal dissapeared.
The middle aged man within the holographic projection of sort suddenly bursted out into waves of joyous laughter.
"With such a genius...those fucking races better watch out."
His laughters' were suddenly interrupted by three men in black.
"Ooh, the ones who tried to kill my disciple."
"That isn't really nice of you is it." The man further added, as his hands suddenly pointed forward.
And then to the confusion and shock of the men in black.
The space around them suddenly starting constricting and contracting....it felt as if the area they stood in was getting compressed and compressed.
And then!!!
Boooom!!!!!
The space surrounding that area exploded, as the three men in black exploded into a pile of blood and paste.
The middle aged man suddenly coughed out blood.
He cleaned the blood from his lips.
"Seems that the backlash is higher than I had imagined." He muttered.
"Goodbye this damn forsaken planet." He further added with a bright smile as he slowly vanished from existence.
Taking with him...a Progidy of an Era!
