Destruction nears(2)
last update2025-04-21 06:49:21

The grand hall of the Cloudsky Sect was alive with murmurs, the air thick with the scent of sandalwood and tension. The elders sat in a semicircle, their robes—azure, silver, and deep violet—marking their ranks. At the center stood IX69, his presence commanding silence with a mere glance. Beside him, the Purple Night Flower Goddess lounged on a floating lotus, her silver eyes half-lidded, yet missing nothing.

The issue at hand? The Water Turtle Key—a relic capable of opening the Blessed Realm—was insufficient for the thousands of disciples vying for entry.

Elder Voren, a broad-shouldered man with a scar running down his cheek, slammed his fist on the table. "We cannot allow chaos! If we let every disciple fight for entry, blood will flood the training grounds!"

Elder Hagan, his rival, sneered. "Then what do you propose? Handpick favorites? The key’s energy is limited. Only the strongest should enter."

Arguments erupted, voices overlapping until—

"Enough."

The Flower Goddess’s voice cut through the noise like a blade. She lifted a hand, and a single purple lotus bloomed in her palm. "Let them fight. But not with blood. With valor."

A murmur rippled through the elders.

She continued, "Each disciple will wear a aura pendant shaped from the water turtle. When they defeat an opponent, the pendant absorbs their valor aura. Once filled, it will transport them directly into the realm."

The idea was met with stunned silence—then approval. Even the most traditional elders nodded. It was elegant. Efficient. Meritocratic.

IX69 gave a rare smirk. "Then it’s settled. The Aura Field Tournament begins at dawn."

The good will lasted precisely seven minutes.

An alarm blared, a resonant gong shaking the hall’s foundations. The doors burst open, and five figures strode in—uninvited, unannounced, unyielding.

At their lead was a golden-haired youth, his eyes like polished amber, his robes embroidered with the God Sealing Sect’s insignia—a chain wrapped around a bleeding sun. Behind him, four disciples stood like statues, their auras suppressed yet unmistakably elite.

The elders froze.

Elder Voren was the first to recover. "You dare trespass—?!"

The golden-haired youth ignored him, his gaze sweeping the room before landing on IX69. "I am Jin Luyang, heir of the God Sealing Sect’s third branch. I’ve come for two reasons."

A beat of silence. Then—

"First." He held up five fingers. "You will give me five of your Blessed Realm slots."

The elders erupted.

Elder Hagan shot to his feet. "You insolent—! The God Sealing Sect is a three-star force! By what right do you demand—?!"

Jin Luyang didn’t even blink. "By the right of the stronger."

The room chilled.

Then, he continued, "Second. The Destruction Dragon Race has returned."

The effect was instant.

Three elders slumped in their seats, faces pale.

A junior disciple even fainted outright.

Elder Voren’s scar turned white as bone.

Only IX69 remained unmoved, his expression unreadable.

Jin Luyang’s lips curled. "I see one among you has a spine." He nodded at IX69, a flicker of respect in his gaze. "The dragons are not yet at full strength, but their spies could be anywhere. Even here."

He let that hang, watching the elders squirm. "So you see, my presence is a mercy. I will enter your realm not just for the treasures—but to protect you."

The sheer audacity left the elders speechless,to shamelessly claim you had protect those you want to rob was only protecting your benefit.

Then, from the back of the hall, a laugh rang out.

The Purple Night Flower Goddess floated forward, her lotus petals shedding eerie light. "Oh, little lion. You talk so boldly for a cub."

Jin Luyang’s eyes narrowed.

She smiled. "Very well. Take your five slots. But know this—" Her voice dropped to a whisper, yet it echoed in every skull. "The Blessed Realm favors the worthy and the deserving. Not the entitled."

The golden-haired youth held her gaze—then smirked. "We’ll see."

As he turned to leave, his final words lingered like a curse:

The moment the intruders left, the hall exploded in outrage.

Elder Hagan spat. "That arrogant brat! We should—"

IX69 cut him off. "We proceed with the tournament. But now, we watch for spies." His gaze swept the room. "And we prepare for war."

The Flower Goddess chuckled, twirling a lock of hair. "Oh, this will be fun."

Outside, the disciples trained harder than ever—unaware that the real trial had already begun.

    On a sunny day nearing it's end. …A Large mansion draws attention with it's high pitch and profile. Embroiled in golds and green of both nature and man touche. The rumble of the luxurious car’s engine faded as it pulled to a smooth stop in front of the grand Kingdergale estate. Maximus Broderick Kingdergale, still in his crisp private school uniform, slid out of the back seat with a grin plastered across his face. The young boy looked up at the towering mansion, its imposing facade glimmering in the late afternoon sun. Max was a typical royal rich young master. Known for being cocky and charming. He his 8 years now, but tends to take on adult active tendencies like giving ideas above his age, pretty smart beyond his age..well that's when he he isn't dumb and fuzzy..which is mostly the majority of times.

    Momo bobbed on Max’s shoulder, its small, plush body shifting with each step as Max struggled to carry Sarah. Despite the looming danger, Momo’s voice was unusually light, as if the chaos surrounding them was just a minor inconvenience."Now, now, Master, don’t look so glum!" Momo chirped, his voice tinged with an almost playful arrogance. "It’s not as bad as it seems. I mean, look at me! I’m a Mimic maker with no mimic after all but I Can still shapeshift things into anything I want—well, anything I choose, anyway."Max glanced at Momo, confused. "You can shapeshift stuff into anything? But why are you just a stuffed toy right now?"Momo puffed out his chest proudly. "Ah, you see, that’s the trick! It’s all about energy and style. I need a little juice to go full-blown transformation mode. But don’t worry! When I’m on full power, I can turn into anything from a shield to a sword to a whole fortress. I’m basically unstoppable." The way Momo said it sounded more like a boast than a

    “It should have left by now..I hope ”Sir Lorne said to himself as he held his Chin while tapping on his desk,clearly bothered by something but he got over it soon as he sets a couple of items in place absentmindedly in the book room. Max noticed But he was to busy doing something else "And then you passed out." Max’s voice was strained, barely masking the emotions in his tone as he watched Sarah stir, her eyes flickering open as if a candle that would douse. The world around them seemed, the ominous red dome still hanging. It all felt odd new and strange. Sarah blinked several times, her mind sluggish with confusion. "I... I don’t really get it all but I think um.cool with time…and also" she mumbled, still trying to shake off the dizziness. "Max,can we get something to eat..um kinda hungry" Max shamelessly gazes off like an expert while cutting her off. "Sure let me see what I can do,Sarah."

    The moment after the Vermin retreated into the shadows, Max didn’t feel a rush of relief. Instead, he was filled with a deep, unsettling sense of dread. The monster was gone for now, but it was still out there, and this was far from over. His mind raced with questions—too many questions he didn’t have the answers to. He glanced at Sarah, who was still standing in shock, holding her arm where the creature's slimy tongue had wrapped around it. The sight of the Xenomorph, the sheer terror it instilled, was enough to freeze anyone in their tracks. Yet, she was staring at Max now, her mouth slightly agape, trying to process everything. "Max," she whispered, her voice trembling. “How come I was the one that got kidnapped by some weird monster with acid tongue?"She almost yelled the last part as she tightened her grip on Max with unexpected Vicious strength Ouch “I Don’t know..oouch plzz.” Max flinch a little as he gripped his ear before letting go he didn’t know how ot what to explai

    Chapter 5: The Awakening Max sat in the dimly lit room, his eyes scanning the holographic interface before him. Sir Lorne, somewhere in the back, was muttering unintelligibly amidst the sharp buzz of lasers and the grating whine of a drill. The air was thick with the scent of oil and metal—a blend that clung to the cold walls of his father’s hidden lair. A labyrinth of forgotten tech and memories, the lair was equal parts ancient mystery and cutting-edge marvel. Strange devices hummed softly, their purposes long lost, while newer contraptions flickered with synthetic life. This place wasn’t just a hideout—it was a relic of a man who once ruled an empire but left only fragments behind. Max’s fingers grazed the edge of the console, his mind teetering between awe and unease. He had so many questions but no idea where to begin. Suddenly, the sharp tick! of a door unlocking jolted him from his thoughts. Sir Lorne entered, wiping a bead of sweat from his brow. He was dressed in an

    A golden-haired boy appeared in a grand temple, his body materializing in the heart of the sacred hall surrounded by golem frog dragons. Towering pillars stretched toward the heavens, etched with golden runes that pulsed with an ancient, unseen force. A serene incense filled the air, Tension could be felt with deep displeasure from a Elder who had a dragon staff with a long golden strands hair and white beared . Draped in flowing robes, his eyes were sharp like celestial blades, yet held a depth that spoke of wisdom carved through centuries. The boy fell to his knees, pressing his forehead against the cool marble floor in deep reverence. "Disciple greets Master." A long silence followed, thick with unspoken rebuke. Then, the teacher finally spoke. "You failed to stop them, indeed not your fault but you shall bear guilt for all race ." The words were neither loud nor reprimanding, but they carried enough weight to make the boy’s bones feel heavy. "Master…" he started, but th

The cafeteria buzzed with lively chatter, students filling the space with laughter, clinking trays, and the occasional outburst from overly enthusiastic groups. The scent of freshly baked bread and grilled meat lingered in the air, mixing with the sharper tang of spices. Max, flanked by the girls, finally secured a table near one of the large windows, where golden sunlight spilled in, warming the polished wooden surface. Just good!! (sarcasm*) Just as he settled, a stern voice pulled him from his brief respite. "Max, since you're the only guy here, you should do the honors and get the orders." He blinked. "Huh? Why me?" "Because you're the only guy here," Sarah repeated with a smirk, resting her chin on her palm.

    The training hall was a wreck. Broken wooden dummies lay scattered like fallen soldiers, their limbs twisted and splintered. Sarah hung upside down from the wall, her hair brushing the floor, her face a mix of frustration and amusement. Max stood in the center of the chaos, his backpack slung over one shoulder, Momo peeking out with wide, nervous eyes. “So,” Max said, glancing at the carnage, “this is what you’ve been up to?” Sarah sighed. “Training. Or trying to. These dummies are… relentless.” As if on cue, a loud *clank* echoed through the hall. The last remaining dummy—a towering monstrosity with glowing violet eyes—stepped forward, its joints creaking ominously. “That one’s the boss,” Sarah said, pointing. “It’s got a **Strength Core**.
