Chapter 19 - Chapter 19 - Storm's Edge

Three months after Arthur entered the cave, the skies were testifying the rise of the Titan King with dark clouds and thunderous lightning storms, earthquakes that shook the most powerful of the mountains, even Mount Everest shook. Powerful gusts, tornadoes, and brutal hurricanes, were the ways that the nature found to annunciate the Ascencion of The Son of Heaven...

Asu Continent...

Mandarin empire, Henan province...

 Betim City, Qin mansion…

 Living room…

- Qin-Shi Huang (peers through the window, anxiety drawn across his face as he gazes at mount Everest): He's taking a while... (murmurs, worry weighing on every word)

- Qin-Zhao (with her arms crossed, shaking her legs impatiently): Son, where do you think this friend of yours went?

- Qin-Shi Huang (sighing with frustration): I don't know, I think that's the problem...

- Qin Sun-Tzu (quickly enters the room, his expression full of uneasiness): Only Supreme Grand Masters can feel this, but mount Everest is now the incubator of a kind of, I don't know how to explain it, but the Qi that comes out of there is something so pure, so sensitive, but at the same time so terribly frightening, I advise no one to leave the house these days…

- Qin-Shi Huang (sighs): This weather isn't normal, it must be related to the mount… (looks to the top of the mountain): What is happening up there…?

Protoss Island…

 Royal palace, library…

- Royal guards (surrounding the queen)

- Queen Andromeda (wearing royal robes and a crown, enters the library with an air of urgency): Girls, is everything alright? (the tension evident in her voice)

- Princess Allana, Alexia, Mayara and Selena (standing tall, fear palpable in their trembling posture)

- Princess Allana Olympus (runs into the queen's arms, sobbing with fear): Mommy…

- Princess Alexia Aesir (scared, looking out the window): My God, I've never seen storms like this one, I'm starting to believe in the so called apocalypse...

- Mayara (squeaks): One little thing and you're already shaking? (hears the sound of a lightning, jumps to Selena's arms)

- Queen Andromeda (worried): This is not normal, it must be Zeus's work.

Euro continent, Greek empire…

 Athens, royal palace… 

 Throne room…

- King Zeus (Sitting on his throne, his unquiet fingers showing his palpable concern): WHO DARES STEAL THE GOD KING'S LIGHTNING?! (he shouts, his voice echoing off the palace walls)

- Princess Aphrodite Olympus (enters the throne room, with an arrogant posture): Father! This storm?! (exclaims, pointing to the chaos outside)

- King Zeus (holding tight the throne arms): What do you want?!

- Princess Aphrodite Olympus (crosses her arms): Did you see the weather outside?! Lightning falling like rain…

- King Zeus (with his hands shifting between the throne and his chin): Something is happening on Everest. It seems to be your uncle, the Qi that comes out of there is very similar to his…

Following day…

 Euro Continent, Greek empire...

 Zyria, The Union/Council of Kings's HQ...

 Meeting room…

- Captain Mara (in white military uniform, in front of the kings, sighs): Sovereigns, their army has increased significantly, but everything is under control. Our men have managed to make them retreat to their bases. They have 90 bases in total, all spread across the coasts of the continents Eurus, Asu and Apelika, a total of maybe one-hundred thousand soldiers per base. They are highly trained but weakening. Our statistics show that, weeks from now, they will be so weak that they're going to beg for a miracle, if they aren't already...

- King Zeus (in royal robes and a ruby ​​crown. Ponders the situation): One-hundred thousand per base? That's nine-hundred thousand. That's worrying, and highly trained, how? And the territory they occupy is that vast? (he murmurs, his mind already plotting battle strategies)

- King Njord/King of Verias (in royal robes and a diamond crown, annoyed): How long will it take until they surrender?

- King of Alfmosis/Merlin's Uncle (in royal robes and a golden crown, looking around): There are a lot of empty seats here...

- Captain Mara (annoyed, steps forward, but the tension in the room sustains her advance): Nine-hundred thousand, apart from those on the island, and allies, most of them are from the Grandmaster level onwards. They are good at controlling Qi and using martial arts. It is vast because they are protecting the island, all the paths that lead directly to the island were blocked by bases. It's been a few months of war, we just continue to send inferior troops, so they can lose men, remembering that for them it's life or death, but for us it's just a pastime, we have a maximum of five million soldiers in the army and if we need to, the princes and I will show up to put an end to everything.

- King of Cirya (sitting, leans forward): More respect young lady! They are people, not animals!

- King Aca (in royal robes and a bronze crown, annoyed, passes his hand over his face, shouts): SHUT UP YOU USELESS BASTARD!!! THE BRAT?? WHERE IS HE?!

- King Zeus (passing his hand over his head, looks at Aca, sighs): Aca, your voice is a disturbance! They are ready, so prepare everything for the final battle. I want to go to war, kill everyone at once! These empty seats are a reminder, with the exception of emperor Ming, he is facing rebellions in his kingdom, civil wars, etc., the others, Merlin, Freyr, king of Surtir and queen Panea, are traitors, they supported this cursed island! Therefore, they will suffer! Now, the kid?! (laughing): He's going to die, I heard he's no longer on the island, keep looking for him!

- The six kings (sitting, in fearful silence)

- King Aca (frightened moving his fingers): What if he went in search of the King's strength? We'll all be doomed if that's the case...

- King Zeus (looks at king Aca with a threatening face, releases his monstrous aura, the room takes on a black tone, Zeus' eyes catch blue fire): Aca! Shut up! No one is superior to me! I am a god! (his voice as imponent as a thunder)

- Captain Mara (crouches down, scared) "I better get out of here, only his aura can kill me!": It's all lords... (walks away at high speed)

- King Zeus (enraged, stands up): Listen everyone! I AM A GOD, I LIVE FOREVER! AND YOU ALL ARE MINE! YOUR LIVES ARE IN MY HANDS!! (his voice echoes through the room, penetrating the innermost depths of everyone present)

Asu Continent, Mandarin empire…

 Henan province, Sehal...

 In a forest…

- Princess Hera Olympus (in military uniform, using the absolute substitution technique, and the Spartan art of war, slits an enemy's throat with a spear, sighs) "I evolved into a Supreme Master, but fighting them is still complicated, if only Arthur were here..." (fighting with her mind distant)

- Enemies 3 and 4 (advance to attack Hera)

- Rohan (in armor, slashes an enemy's belly, laughing): WOW!

- Arwen (manifesting Qi, burns the enemy alive with fire Qi) "That was close…"

- Luana (using Qi, and the absolute substitution technique, kicks her enemy's head and snaps his neck, smiles): What a shame...

- Enemy 76 (attacks Luana): Pretty redhead come here…

- Enemies 3 and 4 (facing Hera, they exchange looks): Aren't you daughter of the god king? The divine princess?

- Princess Hera Olympus (in combat stance, with the spear in her left hand, takes out a dagger with her right hand): I learned this move from Arthur... (with one fluid movement, she throws her dagger that finds its target's forehead with deadly precision. She smiles, despite the horror of battle, and spins with her spear, cutting through the throat and life of her opponents with equal ease, then throws her spear)

- Enemy 4 (with his arms up in a defensive position, smiles): Princess, you wasted two weapons. Stop this, the god king demands your return!

- Princess Hera Olympus (with her hands on her hips, smiles): Look up, son...

- Enemy 4 (about to look up, the spear pierces the eye and penetrates the body)

- Princess Hera Olympus (disgusted, moves away): Hmmm, that must have hurt a lot... (pulls off her spear and her dagger. Smiling, turns with the spear and hits two enemies in the neck)

- Arwen (struggling, looks at Hera, blushes): She looks like a goddess of war, love and beauty at the same time...

- Rohan (launches two arrows into the chest of some enemies as they tried to kill Arwen): Concentrate! And stop craving over your superior!

- Darlan (struggling, looks at Hera, laughs): Stop playing with your opponents, captain!

- Commander of the opposing troop (in military uniform, laughing, shouts): BRING THE GIANTS!! (orders, his voice echoing like an omen of doom)

- Princess Hera Olympus (hearing the command, freezes for a moment): He said, giants? (whispers, fear tingeing her voice with uncertainty)

- Arwen (afraid, kneels at Hera's feet, cries): Captain, please get us out of here, for all that is sacred, I don't want to die... (kneeling in front of Hera)

- Darlan (annoyed, raises his sword, shouts): EVERYONE WHO CONSIDERS HIMSELF AS A MAN AND WOMAN OF THE ARMY OF QUEEN ANDROMEDA, FIGHT OR DIE TRYING!

- Princess Hera Olympus (running towards the opposing troop, raises her sword, shouts): ATTACK!! (gives a super jump)

- Hera's troop (determined, attacks the troop of giants)

- Princess Hera (raising her sword, slashes a giant's face) "If I have to die here, so be it! At least I fought for what I believe!"
