Reborn With The All Seeing Eye

"He... He caught it?!" Malika exclaimed in shock.

"Impossible! Our combined attack can destroy a whole city, how can a human hold it with his hand?" Orchard was stunned.

Tibia stared at the redhead young man in suspicion, then summoned his sword, pointing it at the strangers.

"Who are you?!!" He hissed out.

The young man stared at the energy ball in his hand for some seconds, and looked up at the five.

"I thought you guys are powerful, Guess I was wrong. Well then, I'll just have to get rid of you five."

With a clench of his fist, the energy ball shattered into particles.

"You want to know who I am?"

He pointed a finger at the five.

"I'm the one you five lied to the world of, the one who you changed his name, and made the other races despise him... The one, who his mother and sister suffered for, even before getting born... You five will pay for putting them through so much pain!"

The more he yelled, the more energy condensed on his fingertip...

"You!"

The five grand Priests took a step back in surprise.

"The Child of the sky? But... You should be a kid, Not some 20 years old man." Tibia was speechless.

Aaron scoffed, and with a flick of his finger, a tiny ball flew towards the Priests.

"Activate all defense!!"

Tibia yelled, quickly creating a protective barrier around him... The other four quickly followed his action, creating theirs.

The seemingly harmless tiny ball, flew towards them and collided on Tibia's shield.

BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!

A powerful mushroom explosion rose into the sky, destroying the Black castle into stone and debris.

Aaron and Protean stood amidst all the destruction, not moving even an inch.

BAM!!!

Tibia and the other four fell heavily on the ground, 30 meters from Aaron.

They looked up at him in horror, then threw up a mouthful of blood.

"What's your goal in supporting the Skull?" Aaron asked in a calm tone.

"The Skull will help us get rid of the abyssal gates..." Calvin said.

"And in exchange for their help? Wait, let me say it... My Death."

The five slowly, but shakily stood up from the ground, small wounds could be seen all over their bodies, which was caused by the collision.

"Yes... By killing you, They'll help us!"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Hahahaha!!!"

Aaron burst out laughing, he laughed so loud that the grand Priests raised their eyebrows, staring at him with disdain.

"You five just told me the reason you created such a stupid Prophecy... If I'm gotten rid of, the Skull will help destroy the gates... In your worlds, you five don't want to destroy this world."

"Why would we do that?!!! This is our home! We have families, loved ones, and Friends!! And we have also lost a lot because of the gates! If you die! We'll have the chance to destroy it for good!!!" Malika yelled in rage.

Aaron stared at them for a long time, and was dumbfounded.

These guys were saying the truth!

'It seems they're all getting played by Skull... And they don't even know it... I'm the only one that can stop them, so by getting rid of me, they will have the privilege and space to destroy or rule over this world... These guys just need to open their eyes and see the truth... And there's only one why for them to know Skull's main plan... The Death Of The Cursed Child? No... That will put a lot of people at risk, people closest to me... Or I can pretend, try to deceive the Skull... That means I'll watch them invade my world, and then... The priest will see their real plan... But... There are so many things that will go wrong... Forget all this for now... I'll know what to do in the future!'

Aaron thought, moving his gaze on the five.

"Five of you are getting deceived by the grand Priests, they summoned the gates in our world, and I'm the only one that can stop them, that's why they sent you all to kill me... You can believe me if you want, but I already told you the truth... If you want to know more, investigate..."

He turned around, and walked away, his throne turning into smoke.

"Oh?!"

Aaron looked at the five over his shoulder:

"If any of you cross me again, or attack any of my family members, or Allies.... I won't mind destroying that your floating fortress."

With that said, he walked away with Protean, leaving five stunned Priests behind.

"Was he telling the truth about the Skull?" Essie asked, turning her head to the other four.

"We all know the Skull can't be trusted, and... Why would they ask us to turn the world against the child of the sky... What's their main plan?" Tibia asked, staring at the direction Aaron took.

"But... They said the Gates appeared because of Aaron, and by killing him, is the only way the gate can be destroyed."

"You don't know that." Calvin said to Malika, and sighed:

"We know how to get to the Skull's kingdom... One of us can simply sneak in, and investigate."

"What are you saying, Orchard?!!"

Malika yelled at the green Orc, and continued:

"The Skull said we should never enter their realm without first sending a permit... But if we go without a permit, we'll be held responsible... What if you're caught?"

The four stared at one another in silence, and after a whole Minute, Tibia opened his mouth.

"All of you head back, send word to the other races... They should hold on the plan on attacking the third Continent... I'll go to Skull, and see if I can find anything."

"But, Sir Tibia--"

Malika stopped seeing Tibia's raised hand.

"Not one is talking me out of this, Just listen... The Skull might have helped us in the past, but that didn't mean we'll stand back and watch them take over our world, or even destroy it... Remember why are created this Council... We created it, so the world will be safe, and peaceful... We didn't create it so we'll bring the destruction of our world..."

He looked up at the clear blue sky:

"Keep an eye on Kara... If she's suspicious to you guys in any way... Capture her, and wait for my return."

The four nodded, and watched as Tibia disappeared.

They looked at one another, and also disappeared from the forest.

___

100 meters from their location, Aaron and Protean sat on a tree, staring at the five who finally disappeared from the ruin.

"It seems they already suspected the Skull, and my words just triggered their action." Aaron said, relaxing on the trunk.

"What's your plan?" Protean asked in mild confusion.

"They won't attack us again, well... Not still knowing the truth... If they discover the Skull's plan on destroying our world, they'll turn against them... And will work with us... Let just hope they discovered the truth... It'll be sad to kill them."

He said the last part in a low voice.

Protean turned to him with a slight frown, and after staring at one another for five seconds, the two burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha!! Be sad?! Hahaha... I'll gladly kill them if they attack my kingdom!" Aaron said, amidst laughter.

"Hahaha!! The way you said it, I thought you're getting soft! Haha!" Protean joined in.

Aaron stood up, and moved his gaze on the Forest.

"We must protect our world, As for now, we have no idea about the leader of the skull, or how powerful he/she or it is... All we know is, the leader is a lot stronger than a lower god." He grinned.

"I don't care what happens, I must protect my realm at all cost, even if it costs my life!!"

His voice boom all over the forest, and at that exact moment.

BOOM!!!

A golden lightning tore the sky open, and disappeared moment next.

"Did... Did you...?"

Protean turned his head toward Aaron, a little stunned.

"No."

Aaron looked at his hand, and shook his head.

"My powers can't create such a powerful lightning..." He added.

Moment next, he saw some words appearing in front of him.

{Congratulations.}

{You have be Acknowledged by Zeus... The god of lightning.}

{Powers increase...}

{Remaining Acknowledgment to enter the True God realm: 7.}

{Acknowledgment: 3/10.}

Aaron and Protean blinked feeling their powers increasing greatly.

"Wow, It seems we're just getting started." Aaron smirked, Turing his head to Protean, who slowly stood up, standing on the tree branch.

"So are we attacking, or...?"

"Attacking who?" Aaron asked with a slight frown.

"I don't know, maybe the Skull?!"

"Their time will come."

Aaron smiled, and added:

"Come on, I have some questions Adeline needs to answer... And it's time we help Mott, I promised him we'll settle his family's matter tomorrow... And I don't like going back on my words."

"What happen then?"

Aaron thought for some seconds, and nodded: "I need someone to help control the Ning Family's wealth, If his father is a good man... He'll have the job." Aaron said.

Moment next: the two disappeared.
