Arius descended toward Mythos who was training with extreme harshness his body weighed down by wounds and exhaustion Mythos collapsed to the ground from fatigue and suddenly heard a sharp voice saying to him
If you continue like this you will destroy yourself
Mythos turned back to see Arius coming toward him his steps steady and a calm smile drawing on his face
Mythos stood before him and said in astonishment
Ah is this you
Arius smiled with confidence and said
Listen do you want to become stronger than you are now
Mythos eyes opened in amazement
Really can I become stronger
Arius nodded saying
Yes and I am the one who will make you so
Mythos sat thinking for a moment remembering how Arius had previously knocked him down with just one blow and how much people respect him even Arlin After a moment he agreed immediately smiling with enthusiasm
Arius smiled more and pointed to Wang and Arlin from afar so they would notice what was happening Suddenly Arius grabbed Mythos and unleashed teleportation disappearing from Arlin planet in an instant
Mythos opened his eyes to find himself in a strange place a dark void and an empty land without limits
Where are we Mythos asked in confusion
Arius replied calmly
Do not worry this place is just an area of my own private secrecy
Mythos was fascinated by the scale of power that Arius controls Then the latter approached him and said in a confident voice
I want you to use all your full power now to measure your true destruction range
Mythos hesitated for a moment wondering but he agreed quickly excited to test his limits
Arius summoned Dark and ordered him to build a miniature world containing a replica of the universes and their world so it would be an ideal playground for the test Dark executed the orders quickly and accurately leaving Arius and Mythos inside this new world where Arius said
Now do whatever you want use your power at your ease
Arius stood far away watching Mythos as he raised his power and energy to the maximum limit Whenever Arius felt his effort the sharpness of his attention and focus increased After a while he noticed that Mythos was holding himself back so Arius stood up and approached him saying
Do not hold yourself back use every single ounce of power you have
Mythos obeyed the order and exploded his energy to the maximum limit and the miniature world began to shake completely Then after moments Mythos screamed and launched his strongest attack causing massive destruction in wide scopes
Mythos fell to the ground completely exhausted after having literally consumed everything Arius approached him and applauded him saying
Well done your power is wonderful You destroyed an entire universe with a power equivalent to 6 trillion This is excellent but remember before stronger opponents from other worlds this might not be enough
Mythos replied calmly but proudly
In fact these are the results of my training since I was a little child and all credit goes to Lady Arlin who brought me to where I am now
Arius sat beside him and asked him
How did you know her
Mythos smiled sadly and began to narrate his story
I was a little child living in one of the isolated planets with my people a simple and calm life we did not harm anyone and no one harmed us
One day while I was with my grandfather at the river cutting wood to welcome the winter the prince of one of the galaxies to which our planet was subordinate descended upon us That prince demanded my people to hand over all the girls of the planet because he was trading in them
Arius looked in astonishment and said
This is terrible
Mythos continued
No one had the ability to confront him or his aides On another day he returned with his soldiers to take more girls but this time the men of my people tried to resist him As in any world the weak cannot defeat the strong so the prince carried out a complete massacre and killed everyone on the planet While I was trying to escape with my grandfather we were caught My grandfather asked them to kill him and spare me the prince agreed to that
Mythos swallowed his saliva and completed in an intermittent voice
And when my grandfather was executed before me I felt anger and deep hatred for those bastards I wished I had the power that would make them different from me and suddenly while the prince was advancing to kill me he received just one energy blow after which he departed the entire life
Arius looked at Mythos and his heart was tightening from the pain that his friend ignited so Mythos completed with tears shining in his eyes
At that time I saw Lady Arlin in the sky as if she were an angel who came to save me She eliminated the rest and extended her hand toward me and told me not to worry and that she would take care of me She took me from that place and raised me under her care and with this my new life began
Arius looked at Mythos and smiled calmly saying
In fact we are similar my friend
Mythos raised his eyebrows in astonishment and asked him
And did you get exposed to a similar situation
Arius paused for a moment then turned to a distant direction his voice calm as he replied
I went through a lot but the difference between us is that I did not get support from anyone except from my family only
Then he began to walk forward with confident steps and directed his speech to Mythos
I will teach you Raizo the Governor to become an invincible person
Mythos looked in astonishment and said
I tried to learn it with Wang but I could not
Arius smiled with confidence and said
I will teach you in a better way and I will make you stronger and more experienced in combat
The scene then shifted to Arlin and Wang sitting on her planet eating food
Arlin said with anxiety
I am very worried
Wang asked her with a smile
From what my lady
Arlin replied
I do not know Arius said he would train Mythos and this matter does not please me
Wang commented
And where is the problem
Arlin pulled her hair a little and said
The problem is that Arius is stupid and Mythos despite his age and maturity I fear he might become an idiot like him
Wang laughed and said
It is fine in fact things might become better than you expect Be patient my lady
Arlin held her hair again and said in a calm voice but full of caution
Nonetheless I will not hide my caution
Days and weeks pass and on Earth we see Arlin and Wang sitting with Raymos Lina and Yona at home
Raymos asked Arlin
I want to know where were Arius and Mythos all this period
Arlin shook her head and said
I do not know Arius took Mythos and they disappeared since that time and no one heard about them
Everyone sat in silence and anxiety was clear on their faces while mystery surrounded what Arius was doing with Mythos away from their eyes
A period of time passed until everyone suddenly felt a strange energy approaching them a mysterious and heavy energy that made the air shake around them They all stood in anticipation their eyes staring at the horizon
And suddenly in the midst of a cloud of dust and smoke Arisa appeared advancing toward them with heavy steps She approached them calmly so Arlin asked her directly in a serious tone
What brought you here
Arisa smiled with malice and said
I came to you from death literally
Everyone sat around her in anticipation so Arlin continued sharply
Arisa do not tell me that you got yourself into new problems as usual
Arisa laughed a sarcastic laugh then replied
Not this time but the matter is very strange I was busy with some of my private works and suddenly a strange person appeared before me fully masked And when I asked him who he was he attacked me without introductions
She kept quiet for a bit then added
He did not suffice with that but he transported me to an unknown place dark and strange I fought him there with all my strength and managed in the end to bring him down But
Everyone approached closer and Arisa leaned a little as she completed
In an unnatural way he rose again from defeat as if nothing had happened Then he looked at me and asked me one question Are you ready and after that he said he would return to hunt us all then he threw toward me a group of pictures before he disappeared
Wang said with anxiety
Pictures Which pictures
Arisa took out the papers from her coat and threw them on the table before them Everyone trembled upon seeing them
They were clear pictures of each of Arius Arlin Wang and Arisa herself
Arlin gasped in anger as she said
What nonsense is this I am Governor Arlin Is there someone who really dares to target me in this manner
Wang contemplated the pictures well then said with seriousness
The matter is more dangerous than it seems It is not just a random targeting It is clear that he chose the people very carefully Everyone in these pictures is a pivotal and influential figure in the Sixth World
Arlin stood up her fist trembling with anger
What is the meaning of this What does he want exactly
Wang answered her in a sharp tone as he pressed on the pictures
This means one thing he knows us well He knows our strength our standing and our weaknesses And this makes him an enemy who plans precisely since a long time
Silence prevailed among everyone and the atmosphere was saturated with tension as if a mysterious shadow began to loom over their heads to announce the beginning of a new threat that awaits them all
Raymos stammered with a provoking anger
Damn Does no one target me
Arlin smiled with a firm tone that did not afford her the circumstance to laugh
You fool this is not the time for your stupidity Thank God that you are not pursued Whoever this masked person is I will never allow him to mess with us Who does he think he is to dare to try to hunt me
Arisa looked with indifference her mockery light
Oh where is Arius Why do I not see him here Is he hiding or playing somewhere
Arlin shouted
Indeed we must inform him
Wang shook his head his face green with anxiety
I fear that we cannot communicate with him now he is outside our range
Arlin was dismayed and everyone fell silent sinking into a thinking full of anxiety that does not fade
In another place a dark throne a shadow looks out from behind a curtain of shadows Before him many screens float in the air each of them displaying precise footages Arlin Wang Arisa and the others The viewer scrutinized then held back a cold laugh interrupted by a toxic echo
All of you are under my sight and soon I will harvest your souls with my hand
He advanced toward another screen touched it with a slender finger and before him memories of ancient Arius appeared He spoke with a voice that has craftiness in it
As for this one he will become my precious gem soon
A terrifying smile ended so everything disappeared in a dark gloom
In a completely different place after Arius ended the harsh training of Mythos the two stood exhausted but brimming with something of victory Mythos felt the cells of his strength opening up in a way he did not dream of
Arius smiled with a calm pride
You are now ready to challenge the impossibilities
Mythos stammered before asking
What do you want exactly
Arius approached his eyes steady and his voice firm with no room for joking
Whatever happens I beg you to protect and defend the Sixth World no matter what it costs you
A heavy silence passed a few seconds then the tone of Mythos rose with a determination not devoid of sincerity
I promise you I will do everything for the stability of this world I will not let you down
The fatigue vanished from the face of Arius for a moment in which features of satisfaction appeared that words do not hide a promise signed between a master and a warrior and a scene that proves that something bigger than what appeared on the surface is coming an upcoming alliance and a near war
After Arius and Mythos ended their training in the miniature world Arius raised his hand and opened a teleportation portal And in a moment the two disappeared from the place to return to the real world specifically to planet Earth
The sights of everyone shifted suddenly toward the horizon when an energy beam pierced the sky before Arius appeared landing steadily and beside him Mythos whose body was glittering with a different energy from what he was upon before A feeling of overwhelming power emanated from him making the attendees swallow their breaths in astonishment
The two advanced with confident steps toward the others so Arlin stood up as she looked at Arius saying in a serious voice
There are many matters that we must talk about
But her eyes soon turned to her student Mythos to feel for the first time that his appearance his presence and everything in him had changed indeed He was no longer that reckless boy but appeared before her like a real soldier
Mythos approached her with a bow of respect and said
My teacher I have become stronger than ever and all this is so that you would be satisfied with me Thank you and thank you to my brother Arius who helped me to reach this level
Arlin and her eyes shined with pride bent she too a little and said
Mythos remember well for me no matter how much your strength reaches you will always remain that boy in whom I saw determination one day The achievement that you reached now is not mine but it is the fruit of your effort and persistence so do not attribute it to anyone other than yourself
Mythos lowered his head more and said
My teacher watch me well I promise you that I will not stop here
Then Arius intervened with a side smile and said
The time has come to show you yourselves the extent of what Mythos reached Words will not be enough
He raised his hand so he summoned one of his strong energy soldiers At the same time Wang created an isolated arena of energy to be a testing field
Mythos entered the arena with steady steps and the soldier stood on the opposite side Arius turned to Mythos saying with seriousness
Do not hold yourself back Fight with all you have
Mythos smiled as he tightened his fist
This is what I wanted from the beginning let me show you
The battle began
In the first moment the two disappeared from sight and nothing was heard except the roar of explosions and blows of cracking space from their intensity Mythos was moving with a massive speed striking with a deadly accuracy and blending between strength and fluidity in a way no one saw from him before
The soldier in turn was not an easy opponent as he responded with destructive attacks and unexpected speeds to make the fight look as if it were a confrontation between two monsters struggling for survival
Everyone from outside the arena was watching with astonishment while the borders of the yard began to shake and split from the intensity of the energy pressure and the exploding explosions until the matter appeared as if the planet itself was trembling under the impact of this violent fight
Arlin stood astonished as she followed Mythos weaving the fight with an unbelievable accuracy to ask Arius in an unbelieving tone
How did you make him in this form during a short period only
Arius smiled with confidence as he placed his hands behind his back saying
The origins of the profession nothing more
Everyone was amazed by the scene before them The boy who was previously unable to even direct one correct blow became now attacking defending and repositioning with skill as if he were a grinding war machine His strength his speed and even his tactical awareness doubled in a manner that provokes terror and all that did not happen except because Arius shaped him anew with his hands
Arisa approached Arius placing her hand on her waist with a provoking smile and said
Wonder I did not know my dear Arius that you retired from killing and became teaching beginners Has your profession changed without telling us
Arius turned to her with a side smile and said sarcastically
Oh and are you a mail contractor now distributing comments here and there
Arisa got angry and turned her face away saying
Eh the deceptive malicious one
Arius laughed lightly as if he expected her response beforehand
In the arena the fight reached its peak The soldier managed to trap Mythos to apply on him tight energy shackles that made his body unable to move It appeared as if the battle was settled but suddenly the atmosphere shook
An entirely different energy exploded from the body of Mythos a concentrated and majestic energy that broke the shackles violently and surrounded his body with a compressed aura of the Governor energy
The eyes of Arlin widened in astonishment as she whispered to herself
This is impossible I was never able one day to teach him this so how
The sights of everyone directed toward Arius who was standing smiling calmly as he followed the fight as if the matter was going exactly as he planned for it
Mythos moved like a storm rushed toward the soldier and pounced on him with a series of violent blows that shook the earth under their feet And in the end he shouted loudly and struck one decisive blow that tore the energy soldier completely to return to his original state and merge again into the body of Arius
Silence prevailed for a moment Then everyone breathed with astonishment and their eyes were attached to Mythos who was standing in the center of the arena smiling with relief and pride
He descended from the arena with confident steps reflecting the brilliance of his new strength At that time Arlin and Wang realized deeply that Arius was not joking when he said leave the matter to me He did what they failed to do themselves he awakened the buried spirit inside Mythos and made it manifest before their eyes .
