THE GUARDIAN's FINAL QUEST- Ranking of kings leveling System

2. The Guardian Final Quest

Caked statues of gods and monsters crack, tear, and break, crumbling into dust. The monsters' stampede began. Giant towering humanoid titans known as the Awakeareus awakened.

Above the city, a giant swirling energy portal opened in the air, swirling with black lightning. From it, dragon-like creatures with reptilian wings burst out into the air, their scales glowing like molten rock, moving in a direction.

The military quickly assembled with tanks rolling out and they fought back to protect the citizens. Tanks fired, military jets fired missiles that streaked into the air, and even nuclear warheads were launched. But nothing worked. Many monsters were running or flying like birds in one direction from every corner of the world that had collapsed Colosseum dungeons. 

The dragon-like creatures dived through the clouds, tearing apart any fighter jets like paper that stood in their way. From the clouds came enormous lightning-shaped portals—doors of bright blue ice, each the size of a skyscraper. They stretched from eight hundred feet to the cloud

PUUUUUSHHHH!

A freezing mist poured out, so cold it burned the skin. Skyscraper windows iced over in seconds. Cars, trees, and entire buildings froze solid. People screamed as their bodies turned into statues of ice.

Then came the sound.

DAK! 

DAK! 

DAK!

Each step shook the earth. A massive ice-white humanoid emerged from the icy lightning door, its head crowned with horns shaped like the Statue of Liberty’s spikes.

Every footstep lifted people off the ground and smashed them back down like ragdolls as it shook the earth, moving towards the same direction.

Beeeeeam

A lightning laser beam shoots out of his mouth in a straight line. Half the city buildings were burned and sliced apart, freezing up at the same time. From another portal—a door of burning fire—came something worse.

THUD!

A colossal black foot stepped through, surrounded by volcanic smoke. They were massively taller than the skyscrapers, and smaller buildings were like little toy houses before them as their shadows loomed over them and they crumbled beneath their feet like sandcastles. 

Then the rest of it emerged: A titan of molten flame, eight hundred feet tall. Its body glowed with yellow and black volcanic cracks. Its eyes burned like furnaces. Lava-like fire dripped from its hands, hissing as it hit the ground.

It opened its mouth and exhaled a dark beam that melted steel like butter. Fighter jets swarmed it like insects around it. Their missiles did nothing

"Mayday, mayday," echoed in the sky.

The crash.

One swing of its arm sent an entire block of buildings crashing down. People ran, but no one could outrun a creature that could crush a street with a single step.

The military called it The Nightmare. Everything under its feet turned to ash or ice. The ground shook as its roar tore through the air—

ROOOOOAAAAAAR!

Soldiers, hunters, and adventurers gathered in front of it on the towering structure, but they were like ants before its majestic height and size. 

They were ready to give their lives to buy civilians a few more minutes. But then… it got worse. It wasn’t just this city. Across the entire planet, ancient dungeons that had been here for thousands of years awoke. 

From it came thousands of towering skyscrapers, titans AWAKEAREUS, and countless monstrous creatures, all moving at the same pace and direction like an army marching to war. To a direction where the volcanic mana resonance cried out from. And that direction was me.

......

Yes. I was the reason this world was about to end because I was the only vessel of the high lord known as Deus, to be reborn. The war wasn’t about survival. The monster stampede was the trigger to capture me because inside my bloodstream is the bloodline of the Netherian Netherworld royal bloodline, a human king, and the powers of a god-like guardian.

I was the target for both the god-guardians and the armies of the Netherworld.

I found out too late from the medieval knight that the reason she was there was to stop the rebirth of a demonic high lord named Deus of the netherworld—one powerful enough to destroy Earth and a thousand other worlds if reborn. And the key to his rebirth was no other person but me. Back at the dungeon, my mana stone kept on resonating without stopping. I found myself in an alternate dimension? A cubic white room. A reality far from time.

Then I heard her footsteps, and I turned. For some reason, instinctively, I already knew who she was. I have longed for her my entire life. My inclination came true when she spoke.

"Eren, son of Soren. Grandson of King Edgar the Conqueror."

"Who is Eren? Who are you?"

"I am Elenoir the third. I am Elenoir. I am your mother." My eyes widened. 

The resemblance is cunning. At first, I did not know how to react. Should I be happy or angry? I tried to ask questions, but she stopped me. She waves her hand. A screen pops up before my vision. I see the whole earth overrun by armies of monsters, all racing towards the same direction. Suddenly, giant spacecraft, massive motherships, descended from the sky and hovered above them, heading in the same direction.

The shards on their head or hand were illuminated in red, and their eyes glowed red.

"Where are they going?"

"They are on their way to you right now." She announced

"Why"

"You triggered them. Your shard is a blessing and a curse. The king of monsters, Soren, ordered monsters to capture you when they see you. The shard is like what you earthlings call GPS. Anytime you use it, you send signals to Soren and I came here in time to prevent that from happening, Eren. As the shard activated. It also activated the enemy shard as well as mine."

"You sound like you are not from Earth, and who is Eren? I have so many questions to ask you."

"Yes, I know, but we don't have time. We have less than two hours before they get here, and I must tell you what is of most importance right now. The world is in grave danger, and you, Eren, my son, are the balance and the bridge that will restore that order. I have come to give it to you. THE GOD GUARDIAN'S FINAL QUEST"

"Huh, sent to earth. Final quest. What are you talking about?"

"That's why I am here. I am going to tell you who you are and what your mission is. To know what the final quest is all about. You need to know how it all began. It began with the eight realms of power in a place outside Earth. A place Earth may refer to as the celestial realms.

The eight celestial realms of power had celestial civilizations living peacefully like Earth, but all that changed when the world war of galaxies began, when the Athearians stole the sapphire scarred star stone of power from the Netherians.

The Netherians were the greatest empire realm of them all. Similar to the early Maya civilization, they were ancient. Its towering structures stood on a massive island surrounded by vast seas. The Netherians preferred to keep their tribal customs and traditions closed within private borders, while other realms pursued advanced technologies. 

The Netherians against technology closed their borders to the outside world without sharing their resources.

The Netherians were known by all realms for the wonders of the sapphire sacred star stone in the epic center of the highest-towered architectural structure, which illuminates its light like a watchtower over the entire Netherian realm, providing an unbreakable barrier shield against outside invaders.

Its mana energy rubbed off on the citizens, making them towering giants compared to average humans, and also helped to breed giants born in the land. It nourishes their crops and enables them to fight enemies powerfully and magically.

Indeed, they were the strongest of eight realms, unchallenged, but all that changed when an Athearian science alchemist known as Murdock perceived that the sacred star stone, combined with science alchemy, would bring advancement in technological science, which includes galactic interdimensional teleportation and space travel for all realms.

It will make the Athearians a superpower realm. The Athearians talked with the king of the Netherians, but he refused technology advancement, as they saw the star stone as a sacred stone of the gods they worship. 

Murdock made a plan; after the passing away of the old king, he befriended the new king, Vlad, and brought tribute to the greedy Netherian king, letting their guards down. The tribute was wrapped in sleeping portions and weak poison. The Netherians were vulnerable, and the Athearian army invaded.

A battle occurred for the sacred star stone between the Athearians and the Netherian imperial guards, and the stone fell and was fractured into two shards. More than half of the shards were stolen by the Athearian, and little remains with the Netherians. With the symbol of authority stolen, a large-scale war broke out.

Murdock formed alliances with the other realms, which are Xebel, the realm of the trenches; the realm of brine; the realm of the fishquarter, the steam clockwork deserter; the chaos valley of valor; and the realm of xylem. 

They made a promise to share the resources of the Netherian equally if they joined hands and fought, and Murdock agreed.

Out of millions of celestial beings, they fought in the cold galactic war with the Netherians. Only seven outstanding heroes from seven realms stood tall, and the Netherians were defeated, and many ran away from their highlands with the remaining shards

Murdock, using the combined power of the sacred star stone and the celestial dead bodies of the Netherians, filled with magic. He created an imperfect sacred star stone to compensate for the other half and seven other different colored stones known as the philosopher's stones.

With the sacred star stone and seven philosopher's stones, he turned the great empire of the Netherians and its civilization into a wasteland full of volcanoes and darkness, renamed as the demonic netherworld. A prison hold where monsters and rebels of Atheanian and Netherian descent were trapped in a barrier, never to live in the light of day among the great realms. 

Murdock is unchallenged by the six realms for fear of ending up like the Netherians. He kept the sacred star stone and declared himself a god of the seven realms, then rewarded the seven heroes from the seven realms with the seven different colored stones of power filled with unlimited mana.

Each god guardian was given a stone according to their name, rank, and task. The first was the SPEAR guardian known as NEPHILEN EBUBE, the green-armored god guardian of nature and lord of giant forests. He was given authority over his realm, the giants, nature, and over a thousand worlds.

The second was the SWORD guardian known as AMADEUS AMADURA, the red-armored god guardian of war. He was given a realm and authority to protect the seven realms and prevent all wars in the thousand worlds.

The third guardian is called Elemental, the BOW AND ARROW white-armored guardian goddess of all elements. She was given her realm and authority over all elements, such as fire, thunder, water, and more. She is to oversee all elements on a thousand planets.

The fourth guardian was DESTINY, the AXE blue-armored guardian of fear, fate, and destiny. He has a realm, a guardian of humanity, and destiny in the thousand worlds.

The fifth god guardian was called GATE KEEPER, SHIELD guardian, the brown-armored keeper of time and space. She guards the seventh realm and is a guard of time and space, which she oversees in the various thousand worlds.

The sixth was called LIFE, the Golden God, GAUNTLET, guardian of science, technology, and knowledge. She has her realm and guides all humanity and species with knowledge of science.

The seventh guardian was called CHAOS, SCYTHE, the black-armored god guardian of chaos, evil, and terror. He is to guard against calamity, disaster, and chaos in all realms and the thousand parallel worlds.

Each guardian was given a philosopher's stone engraved on their weapons and a system according to their colors and names. They had three major jobs.

1.

To capture the rebellious minority of the Netherians that escaped and recover the remaining sacred star stones.

2. To oversee the invasion of other planets to surrender to the Athearian realm's rules, either by force or diplomacy, and

3. To ensure the strong hold of the Netherworld and that Netherians never rise in an outbreak for war. 

Vondor was the new king of the minority, son of the dead Vlad, hidden in the shadows. He had one quest. To free his people from the netherworld and return the shard of authority.

To do this, he needed the philosopher's stones united as one to free them and fight Murdock and the seven realm army. He wants to unite all parallel thousand worlds, which includes the human race with the seven stones, into one army, gain full control, invade the god system realm, and rule with absolute power. 

To fulfill his grand wish, he summoned his eight supreme elite princes, his sons, whom he could entrust with the remaining power of the shard. A vote was cast, and he chose his third-born son, whose name was called High Lord Deus, accompanied by his eldest son, Soren, and the elite royal guard known as the Valkyries, who were chosen for the task.

Deus and his men secretly invaded the Athearian realm to capture Murdock's son in order to use him as a bargaining chip for the sacred star stone. However, the mission failed. They underestimated the powers of a single guardian. Pursued by one single guardian called Chaos, they escape through a dimensional portal and find themselves on Earth
