Chapter 45 - Chapter 13 - Home! [2]

Mainland Asu, east coast...

 Protoss Island...

 Beach...

The ships stop near the beach...

- Butler (enters the royal ship, looks at Qin, Hera, and Eleanor): The lord ordered us to wait...

On the beach...

- Arthur Treadway (walking towards the queen, releases his aura that paralyzes them all, walks among the archers)

- All amazons (trembling, they see him passing)

- An archer (trembling): What is this?! What aura is this...

- Arthur Treadway (walking, sighs): Do you want to win a war with this level of cultivation?

On the royal ship...

- Emperor Qin (watches Arthur while eating popcorn): He's very strong, it seems like he's much stronger than when we were in Henan...

- Princess Hera Olympus (watching, surprise): This aura, I can feel a burning aura from here...

On the beach...

- Alfred (in Arthur's mind) "Boss, it's not wise to release your aura if the Essence of Light is a secret."

- Queen Andromeda and the soldiers (shaking, paralyzed)

- Queen Andromeda (trembling and panting): What is this?! What are you doing to us... "He doesn't seem to be from the union army... But who is this man...?!"

- Arthur Treadway (stops in front of the queen, looks into her eyes, grunts): Hmmm...

- Queen Andromeda (tries to kneel, but Arthur takes her arm, surprised) "Strong..." (clears her throat): Who are you...?

- Arthur Treadway (smiles): It's okay, be at ease... (hugs the queen and kisses her forehead): I missed you, mother... (hugs the queen again)

- Queen Andromeda (trembling, cries): Arthur...? Son? (puts her hand on his cheek, hugs him)

Hours later...

 Palace, dining room...

- Arthur Treadway (seated at the table, on the right side of the Queen, eating) "I can't remember the last time I've eaten..."

- Queen Andromeda (sitting at the end of the table, looking at Arthur) "It's my son! I can't believe it..."

- Emperor Qin (sitting, watching Arthur devour everything): You were really hungry...

- Princess Hera Olympus (sitting in front of Arthur. admiring him): You have a pretty big appetite, it's already the sixth plate... (chuckling)

- Arthur Treadway (eating, looks at the three of them): Last meal I had was in the night we took the throne...

- Emperor Qin (surprised): It's been a month...

- Queen Andromeda and Hera (surprised): What??!!! You haven't eaten in thirty days?!

- Queen Andromeda (worried, runs her hand through Arthur's hair): Eat, my son...

- Arthur Treadway (ends): Thanks for the meal...

Meanwhile...

 At the entrance of the palace...

- Princess Alexia Aesir (worried, looks around): Weren't we attacked after all?

- Selena Glayder (entering the palace, sees ships in the distance): Very strange, so many ships... We don't have the conditions for that, and the aura they emanate, it's clear that there are many martial artists...

- Mayara (looking at the palace, suspicious): The strangest is the aura that comes from the palace, there seems to be a monster in there, it's scary...

Minutes later...

 Meeting room...

- Arthur Treadway (seated, with Hera and Andromeda staring at him): Stop that!

- Mayara, Selena, Windsor, Tristan, Alander, Cassilda and other captains and commanders (enter the room, see Arthur)

- Mayara (stays in combat position): You! Who are you?! (looking at Arthur, veined on his face)

- Arthur Treadway (stands up, looks at Tristan): My friend... I heard you weren't alright...

- Tristan Ashura (on crutches, hugs Arthur): I can't take this war anymore... (crying)

- Mayara (furious, screams): GET AWAY FROM HIM! He's not Arthur, feel it! He has no core, look at his appearance, his behavior...

- Tristan Ashura (looks at Mayara, sighs): What are you saying Mayara...

- Everyone (looks at Arthur, suspiciously)

- Princess Hera Olympus (analyzes Arthur): He's very different... (looking at Arthur, blush) "More handsome..."

- Arthur Treadway (sighs): You're right... (sits): Mayara, sit down!

- Mayara (in combat position): Don't call me Mayara! Shut up and talk!

- Emperor Qin (laughing): I'm confused. What should the lord do, shut up or talk?

- Princess Hera Olympus (looking at Arthur): If she's right, then who are you?

- Queen Andromeda (worried) "I knew it was a dream...": Explain to us...

- Arthur Treadway (sitting, curls his hair, sighs) "I need to cut it...": I am, and I'm not...

- Queen Andromeda and Hera (sad) "He's not..."

- Butler (standing, behind Arthur): I'll explain, master. They are not worthy to hear the explanation directly from the lord's mouth.

- Arthur Treadway (raises his hand in the direction of Butler): Stay calm, Butler. I was anointed with the King's Force, I'm not a user... I merged with the King's Force. I was reborn through the Essence of Light, or King's Force, as you will. But this anointing came at a price, I not only merged with the Essence of Light, but also with the consciousness of all the users of the King's Force, the memories and more, I merged with thirteen people in all, and I was born, Arthur is just an aspect of me...

- Commander Windsor (thoughtful, look at Arthur): Thirteen people? Weren't there twelve users? What does all this imply?

- Butler (standing behind Arthur): Twelve users merged with the lord, but the thirteenth was not a user, it was the Essence of Light itself, they became one, and a Titan was born and the natural core... (clears throat)

- Commander Windsor (looking at the two of them, thoughtfully): Essence of Light? Titan?! What happened to the core?! And why are there no records about anything you're saying?!

- Arthur Treadway (looks at Windsor): He broke my core and threw me off the top of Mount Everest. About the core, now I have a titan core, imperceptible to those who are below the Life and Death Dimension, it's why you can only feel my aura...

- Everyone (looks at Arthur, surprised)

- Queen Andromeda, Hera, Tristan, Lancelot, Persival, Selena and Cassilda (looking at Butler furiously, stand up): You did what?!

- Queen Andromeda (standing): I'm going to kill you!

- Butler (crouch): Sorry ma'am, but it was necessary! The Light has ordained it to be so...

- Commander Windsor Ashura (thinking): Are you a god?

- Butler (looking at Windsor, sighs): I can't believe someone that knows that the Light is the only God asked that question...

- Captain Tristan Ashura (confused): What is a titan?

- Arthur Treadway (takes Hera's arm): Calm down Hera! Butler, explain!

- Butler (sighs) "Humans...": Gods don't exist, there is only one God. For the lord to be a god, he would have to be above space, time, and matter. The fact that he was born already shows that he is below time, he needs a body to live, so he is below space, and so on. Now, a Titan is an entity, infinitely below God, of course. A Titan is usually a guardian of an aspect of the universe, which lives of celestial Qi, different from those in the Mortal or in the Dark Realm. Naturally faster, stronger, more resistant than the species on this planet, they are beings of the Sacred Realm, but that is a conversation for another time...

- Captain Tristan Ashura (seated): Realms? Celestial Qi?! Dimensions?! What???

- Princess Hera Olympus (seated, looking at Arthur): So besides not being Arthur, you're also not human?

- Mayara (seated): Who are you?!

- Butler (sighs): That's what the lord has already told you little ones. The human blood, which was in him, was incinerated, only the Titanic remains. There are three types of Titans, the normal Titans, the Mega Titans and the Absolute Titan. This is Lord Arthur, not a weak human anymore, now he is an Absolute Titan!

-Arthur Treadway (looking at those at the table) "Not quite that, but...": Thank you, Butler!

- Queen Andromeda (sitting, staring at Arthur) "The important thing is that my son has returned, and has forgiven me..." (smiling)

- Arthur Treadway (looks at his mother, smiles, runs his hand over her face): We will never be apart again...
