26 Ken
As the dust and debris were settling down, and as the holes in the floors of the castle above the king's chambers closed up as though nothing happened, a single man was let standing at the epicentre of the chaos.
"I am the pope of the Church of Systems, assigned to this kingdom, SPU."
Silence reigned in the room for a few moments, when Ken, who witnessed the entire event in utter shock moved.
"Let him-"
*Cough**Cough**Cough* [1]
The two children were alarmed at the actions of their near-death father and rushed to push him back into a sleeping position to prevent him from straining his internal injuries any more.
Suddenly, the man wearing white robes, and a white hood began to shine.
His long clothes shifted and changed into a modern suit which Jack remembered from his time on earth, with a few modifications. The suite was pure white, and came with a white top hat. It had a black tie, and had 1 line made of crystals on the left shoulder. Lastly, he had a plain looking black mask on his face, covering all of his face from the chin to the hairline, leaving only two slits for eyes, where two gleaming eyes could be seen.
The eyes were incredibly terrifying, and anyone looking into them instantly fainted, which included 2 of the guards.
"Do not look into my eyes or else that will happen." Said the pope as he pointed his finger towards one of the fainted soldiers, and the rest of the soldiers within the room instantly looked away.
Naturally, there were some persistent ones and curious ones who tried, and fainted just like the previous two.
While this was happening, the pope materialised a wooden cane, which was actually not made of anything like wood, but it was 'SPU' itself, just like the rest of the clothes, mask, hat and body.
The point of connection between SPU and Jack was his eyes, since Jack felt it would be cooler like that, along with the superhero entrance, and the random changing of clothes and dialogues.
Once all the changes were complete, SPU moved and his figure vanished instantly, shocking everyone present.
The next instant, it reappeared behind the two princes as though he was a phantom.
Out of shock, the two princes jumped back, however, they did not move away from their father, the king, facing the unknown man while trying to protect their father behind them.
Ken, who was lying in bed, unable to move from all the pain coursing through his body felt an immense sense of joy well up in his heart as he say the two children he had raised without their mother.
"Fufu~ Do not worry little ones, for God is looking down upon you and your father. I am not hear to harm him. So, move-or-I-will-move-you-" SPU's tone took a sudden dip at the end, sending shivers down the spines of everyone present.
Technically, SPU was just as strong as any of the other god's chosen ones, who were basically the strongest mortals. Naturally, there existed those who surpassed mortality and reached the extraordinary realm, becoming as strong as inferior gods, without the dependency on faith.
However, there were no such being in this run-down kingdom, which basically made SPU the strongest being in the entire kingdom since no other gods bothered with this kingdom.
Looking at each other for a moment, the two kids moved to the side, still keeping a vigilant eye on the man dressed in a white suit and black mask.
"Well done little ones! Now watch God's grace."
As he spoke, SPU raised his right palm which was holding the walking stick, and lightly touched Ken's forehead before retracting it.
