"Huh?" Al'ravee was taken aback. He felt his insides turn and suddenly had a strong feeling of nausea."What's wrong?" Ozia turned his chair to face his two passengers."Nothing, just felt a bit uncomfortable." Al'ravee turned to see Nordeline also rooted to her chair. Her face didn't reveal any discomfort but he was sure that she also felt the same way.*VOOM!*Al'ravee immediately took his body's power level to ten percent divinity. The effect was obvious as he no longer felt that discomforting feeling."Also, I've been meaning to ask?...""Ask away Al'ravee," Lately, most conversations between Al'ravee and Ozia were that of question and answer."You know how there's this rule in physics that states, an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an external force. External forces like gravity, wind, and other things.""Yes," Ozia confirmed.Nordeline was confused. Her starting planet had been too backward for her to understand what they were saying now. She didn't bo
[Three hundred years into the present ]Al'ravee opened his eyes with a calm expression, the aura of loneliness still lingering.But soon that aura dissipated like it never existed as a smile formed on his face. He no longer had a reason to feel lonely.He was now surrounded by people who wouldn't die off in a hundred years or so, and the number of such people would only increase as time went by"Nothing has changed though. No one is truly my friend, and neither is anyone truly my enemy. I've gathered chess pieces before and I'll gather them again. The most important thing is my self-interest."If anything, his last five hundred-plus years had taught him to always put his own goals first. They were to be achieved by any means necessary.Ever since the fight with Nordeline which ended in a draw, he became somewhat aware of his situation. The fight was brutally analyzed and he concluded that his fight had been rigged.The Laws of Space and Time. No matter how one thought of it, those la
[Three Hundred Years Ago, During the reign of Al'ravee as Lord Ravee of the Divera Dynasty ]"Father, you're getting quite good at this game. I'm finding it hard to win every day". Inside a well-lit room, a young man in his late teen years sat before a table with an ongoing chess game on it.On the other side of the table was Al'ravee. Both the young man and Al'ravee were in night garments, both apparently wanting to play a game of chess before going to bed."That's only normal. It would be weird if I could not beat five times in a row by now". Al'ravee only commented lightly. "The creator was a genius". The Lord of the Divera Dynasty made a move on the chess board with a calm smile, this caused his oldest son to pay more attention to the game at hand.This was one of the peaceful moments Al'ravee had where he could consciously relax his heart. He had a lot of leisure time but not all of them were as calm as this one."And what part do you find intriguing Father?" The first prince ne
While Al'ravee was thinking about how and who was going to beat this empress Nordeline, he heard his father's voice."Al'ravee boy, why don't you fight her? It would be good for you to experience firsthand just how terrible it is to fight another god"Al'ravee "...""What?" Jurdelious asked, looking like he honestly didn't know why Al'ravee looked at him like that."You want me to fight her? What if something unexpected happens?" Al'ravee did not underestimate Nordeline, neither did he overestimate her. This was his first time taking a hostile movement against another of his kind so he had to be cautious."If anything unexpected happens, then I'll intervene". Jurdelious responded but Al'ravee still did not move. "What? You can attempt mass genocide but can't hit the first pretty goddess you see?"Of course, Al'ravee could not be provoked by such words and Jurdelious knew it. It would be very hard to find someone more beautiful than this white-haired goddess, but Al'ravee couldn't give
"What are her laws?" Jurdelious asked, a calculative glint flashing in his eyes.*sigh* One could almost catch a glimpse of envy in his bright blue eyes. "She has the law of Space, and the law of Time"."How did she get more than one law" Al'ravee was eager to see her use them. It was his first time seeing another goddess who was around his age."I'm still thinking about it" Jurdelious spoke up.This was strange to Al'ravee. He had witnessed how it usually didn't take long for his father to think about anything but now, after some seconds, he said 'Im still thinking'."Anyways..." Jurdelious resumed his calm demeanour "She's in a state of senselessness. What was the final order". He directed that question to Ris."Kneel before me," Ris said suddenly looking very tired " And it was directed to pretty much anything that had knees in front of her"."Hmmm" Jurdelious didn't say anythingAl'ravee sent a Link transmission to Ris ""Sir Ris, what's happening?""Ris didn't look at him but still
Then, he saw Al'ravee float into the sky, suspended by nothing. Al'ravee made sure that he was facing Darius and Darius also gazed at him.Al'ravee opened his mouth. Darius couldn't hear anything from inside the small shuttle but he could read Al'ravees' lips."Electromagnetism Concept, full power!"###########All the people who for some reason were still in the city felt the hair on their skin stand straight. Some women even had their long hair stand straight with the occasional sparks here and there.An omnidirectional magnetic field erupted, reaching a diameter of approximately one hundred kilometres with Al'ravee as the centre."Rise!" Al'ravee muttered softly.*CRACK CRACK SHACKA CLACK CLACK*All around the god, every form of metal and other objects that happened to be magnetised broke off the surface and rose into the sky.Bridges that stretched and cut through the city were unravelled as pieces of bitumen and concrete.The metal beams holding up buildings broke off their restr
Al'ravee was impressed. 'They probably gave him a different set of training since he was supposed to be the leader. Ai, such a bother' This only made Al'ravee more determined to break him."As you wish" Al'ravee dashed towards Al'ravee."Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!" Minutes later, the only thing heard was Darius' cry of agony.[Twenty-eight days later]Al'ravee was outside the skyscraper and he stared down at the shaking Darius who knelt before him in ragged clothing.Darius was completely broken. Al'ravee tortured him and let him experience the pain of his body being continuously electrocuted. Everything was electrocuted... everything.Darius had surrendered long ago, he was just a human, there was naturally a limit to his endurance. But Al'ravee had to make it clear that he didn't encourage any mutiny or betrayal. He had to make sure that Darius would remember him as his master forever.In short, he had enslaved Darius by sowing fear into him. On the bright side, for Al'ravee that
Upon seeing the falling figure, Al'ravee laughed. "Ho! ho! ho! so be it then"Al'ravee still wanted to save his Divinity for one last test. 'Four percent'.He rammed his fingers and toes into the concrete side of the skyscraper and launched himself upward.*WHOOM, BADAM, BADAM, BADAM...*His movements were similar to that of a mad gorilla rapidly climbing a cliff. His fingers and toes dug into the concrete and left holes and falling stones in their wake.Unsurprisingly, Al'ravees' climbing speed didn't match Darius falling speed but it wasn't far from it.As they got close enough, Darius made a summersault and positioned his leg for a drop axe kick. He intended to send Al'ravee back down with force.Al'ravee propelled himself upward one last time, covering a lot of distance and positioned his fist for an upward superman punch.The punch and the kick met in the middle.*BOOM!!!!!*#############The courtiers watched the exchange from the balcony with eyes open wide in shock. This was n
