Destiny King's
The Beginning of the Great Sage
Thinking back to the previous time when the figure who said the Demon King came out from the body of prince Alexa, the figure was actually already very strong even though only a clone, the figure of the real Demon King would likely mess up the world, subjugate all beings under his command.
"Old Man, what are the chances of winning if we fight the Demon King?" Ask Zero.
"Honestly, it's only one percent likely if I'm alone. If you add it to you, it'll probably increase by about seven percent." The Emperor acknowledged the power of a peerless Demon King in this world, if the Demon King really did rise, then there was no other way to stop him.
Zero sipped his tea, imagining what the real Demon King looked like. The atmosphere around them was very calm, there was no one other than them, Zero and Emperor were in each other's minds, trying to predict what would happen after
"Old Man, when will the arena take place?" Zero asked, breaking the silence between them.
"Haisshh I thought you didn't listen to anything." Celestial Emperor Divine.
"Be quiet, I'm just busy with my own thoughts." Zero denied.
"Well there's no one here, don't be ashamed to admit it. The arena would be held in about one more month, from the Empire's side it would only send four people, while the others would send eight people except the Demon Kingdom. And there are also those who can pose a challenge to anyone in the arena regardless of any party, but before being able to interfere in the arena battle of the Kings, before being able to intervene, the party will be tested first before finally becoming a champion and challenging the participants of the Kingdom and Empire." The Emperor explained in detail, Zero nodded as a sign of understanding.
"Thank you, I'll probably see you first." Zero stood up and stepped out of the room, leaving the Emperor alone in the throne room.
Inside the Palace there are many rooms and long hallways, the ceramics are carved so that it looks magnificent, the walls are coated with a kind of protection so as not to be easily destroyed, Zero continued to wander around in it until he finally stopped in front of the open room.
Many golden statues stood there, numbering around seventies, all the statues looked mighty forming a circle, in the middle there was one statue stood alone, its aura looked more authoritative than the others, the statue looked more powerful, A long sword clasped into the ground, intricate carvings were seen on the blade.
"First generation Emperor, founder of the Empire, first generation Celestial Emperor, Elden Grigoire." Zero read the writing below, the statue of the first Emperor.
"No wonder it's in the middle." Zero was amazed by the masterpieces here, everything was made as detailed as possible, no defects of any kind could be seen in all the sculptures.
The room looked very clean, there were no stains or dust in it, the Empire took good care of all this. Zero looked back at everything, up to the last one. Emperor Aakesh Lykaios, the current generation Emperor, Zero looked at the statue of the Old Man closely, his gaze meticulous.
"This one looks bad, I'll change it a little" Zero murmured.
Zero glanced at the surroundings and saw no one, Zero's smile deepened, he observed outside using his aura perception, the result was the same, no one. Zero sighed, lining the outside of the room with a barrier, a second later Zero jumped up, just then his legs were thrown into the head of the Emperor statue, a loud bang was heard in the room, golden rubble was falling down, and there was a huge bang, the head of the Emperor's statue disappeared from its place and was stuck in the wall of the room, leaving a body part other than the head.
"Perfect, this is better." Zero observed the statue in front of him which was incomplete, then smiled in satisfaction.
Looking back at his surroundings, there was no one around this passageway yet, Zero removed the barrier that was set up before smashing the Emperor's head.
After being satisfied to see Zero Palace return to the residence, there had not been any riots that occurred as long as Zero went around after removing the head of the Emperor statue, meaning that no one had found yet. As soon as he entered he saw Livia in the courtyard, sitting on a chair while stirring tea.
"I thought you were going back to the Palace" Zero said, closing the gate and stepping inside.
"That guy's still there." Livia grumbled.
"Do you hate your own father that much?" Zero took a seat in front of Livia, looking at her face closely.
'let Livia know the truth herself.' Zero thought after a while Livia did not answer.
The question immediately buzzed in Zero's head, his mind returning to what he was here for, whether it was for Livia or whether for himself, what exactly was the purpose of him here. Zero pensively for a moment.
"Your Majesty. Are you inside?" Someone knocked on the door outside.
Zero returns to reality, disrupting his daydreams about Livia's question. Someone was waiting for Livia from the outside, from her voice she looked like a man. Livia stepped away to check on him.
"Wait here, let the guy in." Said Zero.
Livia sat back down and called the person in, Zero checked with her aura outside, there was only one person standing in front of the gate, her aura was very weak according to Zero.
"I'm coming in, Your Majesty." That person's voice rang out again, then the roar of the gate sounded back after a moment ago Zero entered.
A young man was seen entering the courtyard of the residence, his hair was long and straight, his face looked handsome, his clothes were luxurious, but his aura was not attractive at all, only his appearance looked good, although it was still inferior to Zero.
The man was approximately twenty-three years old, after entering he was surprised to see Livia with a man, his gaze paused for a moment when it came to Zero, he looked at Zero seriously.
"Your Majesty, who is he?" ask the man. His eyes were on Zero
Livia sighed, ignoring the man's question. While Zero stared back, his gaze instantly becoming dislike towards the man, Zero intended to finish off the man in an instant.
"Livia, who is she?" Zero asked the question again.
"Not who, only insects always follow me at the end of this" said Livia Lirih.
Zero seemed to realize something, the princess herself's appearance was very mysterious in the eyes of many, once she showed herself in general, many people would go crazy over her, it seemed that the man had just been one of them.
"Your Royal Highness the Princess, please hurry to the Palace with me only, His Majesty the Emperor invites you to the Palace" said the man, as he uttered "only with me" the man seemed to insist Zero could not come along.
"Get out, I'm not leaving. There's someone I need to see right now." Livia, her face looked irritated.
"But Your Majesty, the Emperor told you to immediately go to the Palace." Persuade the Man.
Zero stood up, without saying a word his fist smashed into the man's face and was thrown far into the side wall of the courtyard, he fainted, the man's face crumbled instantly, Zero had already reduced the pressure of his fist, so that guy won't just die.
"Oh yes, just information. You will probably be dealing with one of the Empire's great sages." said Livia. Zero instantly realized that, but regardless of anything he was not afraid of facing everything.
"That's only one Great Sage, even if there are a hundred Great Sages, I'm not afraid to face it." Zero observed the man, from the words of Livia, the man Zero hit was one of the important people of the Great Sage.
Zero went to where the man was lying, blood pouring from his shattered face, Zero felt rather pity, from a pretty handsome face to being shattered because of him, the darkness dimension opened beside him, Zero kicked the man inside dying.
"Zero, how far is your power?" Livia kept watching Zero. Since long ago he was always curious about Zero who always arrived and could not be guessed.
"How far is my strength? I don't know." Zero shut down the dark dimension portal. Returning to sit in front of Livia as if nothing had happened.
