Hail the King

First, all the stars in the sky disappeared, and then the giant star fell from the sky. All the unprecedented phenomenon shocked the Zenitians inside St. Petersburg, a city that was engulfed by the flames of war. All of them felt an immense and simultaneous outpouring of crushing sadness.

Many people felt like they lost their most important loved one, and they all cried their hearts out.

Tears gushed out of people’s eyes, and they couldn’t suppress their sadness. They didn’t even know why they were crying.

…

-Very far away-

Elder Prince Arshavin and Elder Princess Tanasha looked into the sky and cried.

“This is impossible! How is this possible? Who could defeat Royal Father?”

Zenit’s God of War didn’t even frown when he faced devastating situations on the battlefield, but tears covered the face of this young man. Seeing the phenomenon in the sky, he was struck by intense sadness.

Zenit’s Goddess of Intelligence quietly sat beside a tree, and yellow leaves floated down from the sky. Her intoxicating blue eyes were covered in tears as well.

As a part of the Royal Family, they were connected to Emperor Yassin by blood, and they instantly sensed what was happening in the Capital of Zenit and felt the death of their loved ones. This mystical sensation was hard to describe, but they knew exactly what was going on.

“Royal Father, and Doming… and Second Brother. Did they really fall?”

Arshavin tightly grabbed the handle of the saber. Since he was using too much strength, his knuckles cracked while the veins bulged. He was trying his hardest to suppress his sad tone, and it seemed like he was murmuring to himself or asking Tanasha this question.

“This is impossible. The magic array of St. Petersburg… had been strengthened by the semi-godly runes of Chambord, and the magic supply of the empire is able to last the Capital for a full year of magic warfare. How could the Barcelonans have broken into the city?”

“Now, you are finally willing to call Dominguez your second brother?” A crystal-like tear flowed down the Elder Princess’ face, and she said, “I’m actually a little envious. Our second brother could stay by Father’s side and battle, but we have to stay here and wait. I wonder if the moment that we are waiting for will come.”

“It will come for sure!”

Arshavin tightened his grip on the saber and said with determination, “I swear with my family name Andrew. One day, I will take my revenge on Barcelona and make those people bleed as well! I will return blood for blood, hatred for hatred, murder for murder, and flame for flames. I will conquer Camp-Nou! I will one day…”

…

-Grand Godly Realm-

Fei was stuck in the mystical and mysterious state.

Endless power of faith traveled through the limit of time and space, gathering to Fei from all directions and dashing into the cocoon-like sphere of light surrounding the king.

The cocoon was similar to a beating heart. While it absorbed the vast power of faith, it emitted a type of power beyond natural elements, filling the grand godly realm.

If the grand godly realm was only a landscape freehand brushwork in the beginning, then it was becoming more refined and detailed. It ascended from the level of a ‘painting’ to become a real world.

Like the sun in this world, the giant cocoon-like sphere emitted mesmerizing light, shining on everything in the world. The giant mountains looked firmer and quieter, the grassy plains appeared vaster and more vibrant, and the rivers sounded livelier. Various animals and beasts moved on the land and through the rivers, and flocks of birds chirped and played in the sky.
