Chapter 7: Order of 10 Pt. 4

A/N: This one is a bit short, but we are getting into the good parts here soon.

(3rd POV) 

Near the same instant that Leo's energy finished its final refinement, the cloth covering his eyes burst into silverish radiant flames. Lenora and Richard sensed the disturbance and teleported directly to Leo's side. 

"I'm surprised you're letting him go dear," Richard spoke quietly, fearing he might disturb Leo. "It is about time for him to reach this level. We ourselves were already much stronger than this by his age after all.

The only reason I restricted him this long was to make sure his understanding of his power was at a sufficient level." Lenora remarked, watching as Leo got exponentially stronger by the moment. 

"He is much more talented than us, and I think he might well be critical in the war later." Richard spoke in a solemn tone, even as he continued to gently watch his son.

Richard was never known to be patient, and besides his wife, almost no one had ever seen him so much as frown. 

Richard slowly raised his hand, and a gentle silver light sprung up from the center of his palm and then condensed into a simple looking business card.

Flicking his fingers, the transformed energy pierced through the space surrounding Leo and darted into his body, and from there it followed the connection to the first Origin Source. Feeling the feedback, Richard raised a single eyebrow and released a small chuckle.

"What has an Old Bastard like you laughing all creepy like and shit?" Lenora reached up and hit her husband on the head as she spoke. The moment Richard shared what he had found with Lenora, she burst into a fit of laughter.

Anticipating this, Richard had already set up a sound isolation spell around them both. 

Around this time, the restrictions placed on Leo by his parents began to disappear. His chocolate skin started to pulse with purple-silver energy, which quickly mutated and became a brilliant platinum. 

Chain-like tribal markings of the same platinum color appeared twining around Leo's body.

The second they solidified; Leo instantly felt his power somehow become ten times stronger while he simultaneously felt he had access to a tenth of the amount he had just moments before. 

While his body was adapting to his level up, his eyes were forced open and then everything froze. His pupils were shaped like flaming amethyst crowns surrounded by calm platinum flames.

His Ash colored dreadlocks, held together with special metal bands clinked against his back as the energy in his body continued to rampage. 

Leo had never understood how reaching the threshold of level 0 as a Universe Master would make him stronger than almost every creature in most universes.

But now that he was feeling the power of his blood activating for the first time and had finally refined the essence of his power he understood. 

No matter how many of his previous selves were to appear in front of him they would be killed in one shot by him right now. If before he was at the conservative strength of city level, he had directly jumped to the peak of world destroying power in a single second. 

'Get ready to be transported out son, I have set you up with an identity for your travel but everything else will have to be done by yourself. Make sure you don't get killed;

I would hate to have to destroy a multiverse just to get my son back.' Richard's voice echoed inside of Leo's mind, shocking him out of his observations. 

He raised his head to speak to his family, only to feel himself be instantly teleported as soon as he started moving. Looking around, he could see a vast nebula all around him.

At first, he thought he was in space but as his senses spread out, he realized he had been sorely mistaken. 

Not only was he not in space, but he was currently floating high above a group of kids who appeared to be undergoing some special training in simulated environments.

As he observed, he saw kids of all ages running through obstacle courses, fighting in hand-to-hand combat, and much more specialized training. 

Right as he was trying to determine his next steps, Leo felt something locking onto him. Acting on instinct, Leo tried to teleport away only to fail to fade away.

Feeling the space around him was locked, Leo held out a hand as one of his metal hair bands snapped off to become a dark golden staff. 

Glancing around his vicinity, Leo's eyes somehow gave off an indifferent yet majestic feeling as the crowns that made up his pupils slowly rotated in a circle.

In his eyes, the world was covered in a black shading, with platinum lines connecting everything to each other. 

With his eyes moving almost lazily, Leo was suddenly surprised, and his expression finally became serious for the first time. Breaking free of the pitiful space imprisonment around him, Leo flashed over to the gathering of threads that seemed to connect to himself. 

Before he could make sense of the mass of people he saw upon arriving, an animalistic roar came from above him. Looking up, Leo saw what he could only describe as an Ancient Form Charizard, with a color scheme like Mega-X even though it was much too big, 

With a 20 feet wingspan, blazing blue flames, and a vicious snarl that hungered for blood Leo could only have one thought. 'I can't believe I didn't even think of a cover story.'
