Chapter 22 - Chapter 22: Meeting King-Kai

-----------------Next Day-------------------

Under the watchful eyes of the three ladies .

Kami-Sama and Kairos vanished from the temple, reappearing at the Yeema's Hall through the transmission technique. Before them lay a sea of souls, waiting in line for judgment, their fate hanging in the balance.

A ogre demon-like figure stood guard, his eyes scanning the crowd with an air of superiority.

Kami-Sama approached him,

Kami-Sama:" I want to request an audience with King Yeema. "

The soldier's expression turned dismissive, directing them to join the queue.

However, his gaze lingered, noticing the absence of spirit circles above their heads - a telltale sign of the living. His demeanor shifted, curiosity piqued, as he asked how they arrived without succumbing to death.

Kami-Sama's response was enigmatic, mentioning an authority above King Yeema who had ordained their visit. The soldier's confidence wavered, sweat beading on his brow as he hesitated.

With a mixture of trepidation and bravado, he warned them that he wouldn't take responsibility if anything went awry. The air was thick with tension, as if the very fabric of the afterlife was being torn apart.

King Yeema's wrath was palpable, his anger simmering like a tempest, fueled by a recent mistake made by one of his soldiers. The stage was set for a confrontation that would shake the foundations of the Yeema Hall.

The soldier, still nervous, led Kami-Sama and Kairos to King Yeema's throne room, where the ruler of the afterlife sat in majestic judgment.

Then Kairos and Kami- Sama saw a huge tall ogre, compared to other ogre -

King Yemma is of a different color, he has a beard, he has a helmet with two horns, and he is colossal in size; even his desk is at least three times taller than Goku, who is able to fit in one drawer.

King Yeema's piercing gaze fell upon the trio, his eyes narrowing as he demanded to know how living souls had breached the sanctum of his hall. The soldier trembled,

Soldier: "My King , they told that a higher authority had granted them permission."

King Yeema's anger flared, his voice thundering through the hall as he refused to believe anyone could surpass his power. The soldiers present quaked, their faces slick with sweat.

King -Yeema:" Impossible, noone has higher authority than me , to allow living mortal to enter Yeema hall . "

Kami-Sama calmly intervened, revealing that King Kai had ordained their visit. The mention of King Kai's name was like a lightning bolt, striking King Yama with a mix of fear and reverence.

King Yeema's demeanor transformed, his confidence wavering as he asked, with a hint of trepidation, which King Kai they spoke of. Kami-Sama's affirmation of the West King Kai sent King Yama into a frenzy of denial.

Incredulous, King Yeema accused Kami-Sama of lying, insisting that mortals were unworthy of an audience with the legendary King Kai. The air was heavy with tension as Kami-Sama stood firm, urging King Yeema to verify their claim by contacting King Kai directly.

Seeing the calm look of Kami-Sama , King-Yeema choose to contact King-Kai .

After after contacting he came to know something more that shocked him .

It's that the human following behind Kami-Sama is allowed to train under King-Kai .

As being a student of King -Kai represent a symbol of outstanding talent and qualification .

King-kai : " By the way Yeema let that boy go throw snake way , if he can pass it then I will accept to teach him .

Hearing this , bead of sweat drops from King-Yeema head as passing the snake path is very difficult , till today only 2 person passed it . One himself and another a servant of King - Kai .

After knowing everything ---

Then King -Yeema respectfully leads them to snake path .

King- Yeema :" Kairos , I know everything. Now your trial is to complete this Snake's path if you can completely pass it then you can reach King-Kai's planet . "

Hearing this Kairos becomes excited while Kami-Sama becomes scared as he heard that passing snake's path is very hard .

He don't know whether Kairos can pass it or not .

But Kairos without thinking anything , excitedly jump into the path and start running soon his back disapear within the path.

As Kairos ventured into the treacherous Snake Way

The air grew thick with noxious gas, threatening to suffocate him, but Kairos persevered, his determination burning brighter.

He realized that Saiyans need air to survive, which could be fatal against wicked opponents, so he decided to use the Dragon Ball to gain the ability to survive in space.

With newfound confidence, Kairos encountered a formidable obstacle: a colossal serpent-like creature, its body as wide as a mountain range, blocking his path.

The creature's sheer size was intimidating, but Kairos released his combat power, sending the snake fleeing in terror.

Undeterred, Kairos pressed on, facing a series of illusions designed to deceive him.

Visions of the three girls appeared, begging him to turn back, but Kairos recognized the trickery and pushed forward.

The path itself seemed to writhe and twist, trying to shake him off, but Kairos refused to give up.

Suddenly, on the way he saw a palace and then three creatures emerged, their upper bodies human, lower bodies like snake , they are probably called lamia

Although all three of them are beautiful but among them , One lamia stood out, beautifully dressed and seductively alluring, flanked by two bodyguards, she is probably the princess of the castle.

Their faces were heart-shaped, inviting Kairos to surrender to their charms.

But Kairos remained vigilant, recognizing the danger lurking beneath their beauty.

The creatures' eyes seemed to hypnotize, drawing Kairos in with an otherworldly allure.

Kairos steeled himself, resisting the temptation, continued on his journey, while thinking in his mind that someday he have to punish this three lamia.

Kairos finally reached the end of the serpentine path, his journey taking a mere three hours.

As he emerged from the tunnel, he beheld a breathtaking sight: a green planet, teeming with life.

But what struck Kairos was the planet's diminutive size, a mere fraction of Earth's, but it's gravity is of 10 times that of earth just then Kairos saw a alien come in his view..

King Kai is a rather short individual with blue skin, pointed ears, and has a pair of catfish-like barbels on the sides of his face. He wears Teashade sunglasses, a pair of small white shoes, a black tunic with goldenrod-trimmed sleeves, as well as his symbol on the front, and has a pair of cricket-like antennae.

Soon after him 2 more alien creature appeared after King Kai which he recognise.

One is a large, muscular monkey with gray fur, a long tail, and a distinctive red hat, probably called Bubble

Another is a small, anthropomorphic cricket with a green exoskeleton, large eyes, and a charming smile called Gregory

The moment Kairos appeared King Kai's attention was drawn to Kairos, emerging from the snake's path.

"Are you Kairos?" King Kai inquired, his voice tinged with curiosity.

Kairos affirmed his identity, and King Kai's eyes widened in astonishment.

Kairos

Few martial artists could complete the snake path, and even fewer could do so in record time.

Kairos' feat of finishing in three hours left King Kai speechless.

"Most warriors take ten hours to complete the path," King Kai marveled.

Kairos' exceptional speed and agility had left him impressed.

But then, King Kai's demeanor shifted, a sly grin spreading across his face.

"Passing the first trial is just the beginning," King Kai declared.

Kairos' instincts went on high alert, ready for the next challenge.

However, King Kai's next words caught him off guard.

"The second trial is to make me laugh," King Kai announced, a twinkle in his eye.

Kairos' tension dissipated, replaced by confusion and curiosity.

"A joke, you say?" Kairos asked, unsure what to expect.

King Kai nodded, his grin growing wider.

"Ah, the art of humor," Kairos thought, with a suprised look , well he forgot that King-Kai loved jokes ,with all the preparation plan for future 'how to become more powerful ' he forget about it .

Although he was intelligent and hard working he never read any joke.....

With a deep breath, Kairos steeled himself for the unexpected trial.

Little did he know, King Kai's sense of humor was legendary.
