[A few minutes ago]
*DIE!*
*DIE!*
*AT*
When Amon rang the bell with the help of Gan Fall hit him, the sound of the bell even reached 10 thousand meters below, reaching the rest of Jaya. Skypieans heard it too.
"What's this?"
"Earth sings?!"
"Don't tell me is this the bells of the legends??"
"I can't believe it! It rings after 400 years!"
The Skypiean people were astonished, but they were more interested in what caused the bell to ring. Does this mean the war between them and Shandian has ended, finally!?
It didn't take long for them to learn it for real, soon after, one after another the God militia started to break out from the forbidden Upper Courtyard.
….
On the other hand, the huge snake Nola went crazy from running with tears falling from its eyes along with a happy smile on its face. He recalled the days from 400 years ago, how Kalgara used to ring this bell every day, how this voice became his favorite.
Who would have thought, even after 400 years, he would feel the same happiness hearing that voice?!
….
On the other hand, Shandians stood proudly, with tears falling from their eyes like fountains. These tears come from pure happiness, from pure happiness. The war had ended.The Golden Bell that started it all, finally ended it all as well.
"Kalgara ..." said the current chieftain*****dairy fell from his eyes. "Did you hear? The war is over, we have regained our land. We ..." Tears covered his entire face. "WE WON!"
The war is over. They wanted to kill the people responsible for this, but unfortunately, they had perished over time. The current god and his militia are not the culprits.Yes, they still made a mistake on them, but Shandian did not want to continue this war again with revenge.
…..
[A few hours later]
"Haha! Eat more! Today is a day of celebration!"
It was night time, and Gan Fall had already left. Today, only the Shandians inhabit the island, their homeland.
They celebrated their victory. Everyone was there, but they did not eat seafood like they usually do at parties. Today, they eat fruits, fresh and juicy fruits!
"*Munch***Munch..." Amon also poured fruits into his mouth, while many children sat around him, also eating. They had just held a small celebration with their leader, and now after doing that all day, they were now very tired.
"Hey, light a bonfire!" duy shouted, as several teenagers quickly prepared a campfire. Today is the day of celebration, today they will eat meat!
Eating fish and seafood all their life, they love meat. Just as gold was precious to the blue sea man, meat was more precious to the sky man. Especially Shandian.
"Sniff." As the crisp aroma of ripe meat entered Amon's nose, his mouth became watery.
'Can't believe I only ate 9 meals with meat for 10 years of my life.' Amon thought with a small laugh. 'But now I can have meat, fruits, and everything I want. The top page is min-wait.' Suddenly Amon realizes that he is not yet a God, or at least, not officially. 'Okay, let this party end first. Then I'll see.' thought Amon while shifting his concentration back to food.
….
A few hours had passed, one would see a giant snake sleeping not far behind Amon. A moment ago, a snake came here with saliva dripping from its mouth. He did not attack them, he clearly recognized the people of Shandia! There's master!
Not only was Nola the snake, even the children were also sleeping around Amon. Raki put her head on her lap, as she was also asleep. Along with baby Aisa, Isa was also beside her with her eyes almost closed. Children like Wyper, Kamakiri, Braham were also around, asleep.
Amon was still eating, because he was quite tired from the constant kicks he had to do for [Geppo], he needed energy, and meat was his best source.
While eating, Amon looked in front of him. There, the chieftain was sitting with all the members of the tribe that surrounded him, in the hope of the children around Amon. They seemed to be discussing something, as Amon was trying to prey on using his [Haki Observation]...
…..
[Next day, Morning]
"Hey, Amon, get up!" The Chief was there, shaking Amon's body as he slowly opened his eyes.
"Yawning... Hey, chief." Yawning, Amon got up, as he saw Raki no longer in his lap. "What's wrong? Today is the day after the celebration, we need more sleep. yawn." He said while rubbing his eyes.
Without saying anything more, the chieftain put his Staff in Amon's hands and quickly walked back.
Rubbing his eyes, Amon blinked to see what was in front of him. '... Heh.'
Shandian stood in front of him in a row, with his head bowed with a serious expression on their faces... Even Raki, Isa, and Wyper were among them. Amon could guess what happened but still made a surprised face.
"H-hi guys, what's going on?" He asked, as if he knew nothing.
The chieftain who raised his head proudly and said, “You will soon find out what this means, Amon. But first…"
"We Shandians are descendants of the great Shandorians. The inhabitants of the "Golden City" 800 years ago, the Kingdom of Shandoria was invaded by an alliance of 20 kingdoms." He continued, strong emotions were flowing within him as he spoke of the long-lost past of his ancestors.
"The "kingdom of the Shandorians fell but the people did not give up and what was once a great empire has now been reduced to what you see now, a small tribe that came to be known as the Shandians. We were given the task of protecting the Golden Belfry bell that contains the poneglyph and we protected it for centuries until the days of Kalgara.” He paused for a moment and took a deep breath.
Kalgara, with his incredible strength, protected the island of Jaya, our home from outsiders for a long time until the arrival of Mont Blanc Noland! He is a good man, for he takes us out of the delusion that the serpent cannot be God…” Amon understands that Noland did not manage to convince everyone because some people still believe the nonsense after all he himself almost became a victim.
"After that, Mont Noland left, and Kalgara kept ringing the bell, so that one day he would return, however, we did not get a chance to meet him a second time, so that one day he would return, because our homeland is lifted up into the sky!
There we met the Skypieans, and one of them claimed to be God. They have the courage to call themselves God! The tribe had stopped believing in God by then. ” Chief said forcefully in his voice!
"We are at war with them, which Kalgara began by ringing the bell before his death! Thus leaving the burden of war to be borne by his descendants..." He said in a bitter tone. "In the end, Kalgara failed to protect our land. He was a great warrior, but he failed at the one task he had..."
Amon grinned in his heart, 'The tribe adores Kalagara and respects him. Although, It was a good thing because I was his descendant, but now I am strong enough not to need that privilege, there is no need to hide behind his title.' He thinks. 'After all, I cannot be known as Amon, the great warrior who is a descendant of Kalgara, but I must make a meme for myself to gain the absolute loyalty of these fools.' Amon thought as he looked towards the chieftain who had a bitter expression.
Listening to this, he laughed inwardly. '….For me, I get their absolute loyalty, I have to destroy the perfect image they have of him and replace it with mine.' He thinks. 'What I've done, is because that's why the chieftain has that expression.'
Chief usually tells me about Kalgara at least 3 times a day, this is a bit annoying, however, Amon knows how to use this situation perfectly. Whenever he told the 'brave' story of Kalgara, Amon always pointed out the flaws in Kalgara's actions. Although he never went too far and did not demonize Kalgara because these chaotic tribe members might have tried to do something stupid.
Amon slowly eroded the old man's trust and that trust has eroded to this day where Kalgara's good deeds are overshadowed by the failures he instilled.
The old man's head did not know, but he was already dancing on Amon's palm.
*gebuk*
The next moment, every Shandian knelt down in front of Amon, except for the Chief who had just continued, "So, after 400 years, when someone had done something that Kalgara could not accomplish ..." He then slowly started the wall towards him. "He sincerely surpassed Kalgara, by doing something that Klagara herself failed to accomplish!"
With a wreath in his hand, he stopped in front of Amon. "Someone is you, Warrior Amon-no... This is Great Warrior Amon now." A smile rose on his face, as he looked at Amon who was staring at him with wide eyes. "Yes, yeah! You have surpassed Kalgara! You have completed the task that our ancestors gave us! You have succeeded!" He said, stopping in front of Amon.
Soleness. A brief silence ensued, as the kneeling figure stared at their leader with a proud smile. They felt proud that they were lucky enough to be born in this era and had Amon as their leader, a leader who surpassed the great Calgara!
"So now," the Chief then continued. "I, as the chief of the Shandia tribe, declare you, Soldier Amon ..." He then placed a wreath on Amon's neck. "AS A "BIG SOLDIER" IN AMON! A BIGGER PREJUDICE THAN KALGARA! THE NEW GOD OF THE UPPER YARD!"
Immediately after this, everyone bent down and touched their heads to the ground. Even the chief followed them and did the same.
Amon's face showed a surprised expression as if he could not believe what was happening in front of him.
However, his thoughts were quite diverse. 'Well, well, well, isn't this the best feeling in the world?! Such loyalty, such reverence, is this what it feels like to be a God?' Amon thought with an internal laugh.
'Hey, God, do you see this?' He called his imaginary God. 'You killed me then, and now look! i'm god! I've become a god damn it!... Ironic right?' He asked himself, as he almost cried out in excitement.
Amon almost lost his composure and laughed out loud, the feeling of power over so many people was intoxicating and exhilarating, but he knew he could not be carried away by this feeling. However. "Fuuuh.." He just sighed. 'I shouldn't be too excited about this after all this is just the beginning ...'
Then looking at the people below, he opened his mouth. "Everything... Get your ass off the ground!"
"As the new God, I, Ammon will command all of you, each and all of you ..." He took a deep breath. "Training Yourself To Death!!! Only, so that the history of Kalgara does not repeat itself!
