Chapter 31

~~ 6 Days later ~~

In this period of time, The news of The Supreme Emperor staying in Krylor to protect it from a God-like being traveled throughout the empire and reached other players' ears. The subjects of the Blackheart Empire were quite shocked to hear that their emperor revealed himself, as it is common knowledge that he doesn't like to show himself and stays on his throne most of the time. The only time they heard of his presence was either in Csilla or when he's in the commanding ship in his conquest period, but not many have seen him. The krylorians especially were quite enthusiastic about the news, as they even opened festivals around the planet.

There were also rumors about the queen of Krylor entering the emperor's chamber that she may or may not have made it leak intentionally, which resulted in arousing other queens' jealousy and making kings regret not having the chance to use their wives to gain the favor of The Supreme Emperor. It also resulted in making a certain Supreme Queen's Blue skin red from anger. And while this was going on.

The two people who caused it, Ashborn and queen Caterling are sleeping soundly on top of each other in a king's size bed. Then suddenly Ashborn eyes open showing his sharp purple glowing eyes, and he muttered: "... So he's finally here, huh." He got up from bed and got dressed, resulting in waking up the sleeping beauty: "... Order your people, I don't want to see a single krylorian outside this planet and call all the ships outside back... It's gonna be a bit messy in a bit."

"Right away!!" The queen said after getting up and getting dressed immediately after hearing the seriousness in his voice and already called her advisors to the throne room using what looks like a communicating device. Exiting the room, Ashborn found Demiurge waiting for him outside: "... My Lord, The news of your upcoming fight already reached a lot of ears, so we're expecting a lot of eyes on the fight from within the empire and outside it, Should we make an array like usual?"

"... No, The Empire's subjects should witness their emperor's power, as for the other eyes if before they thought twice before attacking us, now they will think 10 times. So make sure that the fight is live-recorded throughout the empire." After saying that, Ashborn floated towards space while he transformed to his true form, equipping a long black sword he muttered under his breath while observing it: "... Dark chaos, created using The Dragon Monarch Of Destruction scales, containing a huge amount of destruction energy and being tainted using The Shadow Monarch's mana making the upgraded version of it, Chaos. A simple slash can cut through planets and even space, I never got to know its full power and I wonder how it will fare against Galactus's Ultimate Nullifier who's said to be 'The universe's most devastating weapon'. Ah, speak of the devil." Just after Ashborn finished admiring his sword, A huge-looking humanoid wearing A mixture between blue and pink armor and a weird-looking helmet.

"So you are the foolish king who dares to stay between me and my meal. It seems that the world has forgotten me in recent centuries so that a weak-looking tiny bug like you dares to..." Before Galactus could finish his words, he was cut off by a cold and calm yet loud voice: "... So you've ignored the warning that I kindly gave you, And here you are giving me this young master's pathetic speech. It seems that the universe truly forgot me in those few recent millennia."

Hearing that he cut him off and ignored his reply, Galactus' pride got over his head, so he sent a powerful purple cosmic beam towards Ashborn who just raised his hand and created a huge dark shield that intercepted Galactus's beam without visible difficulty. Then Ashborn suddenly released his full aura for the first time since the war, And unlike the original, Ashborn has created 6 other black Hearts. So the full energy of seven black hearts plus the Reality and Space stone was full out for the world to see. The result? The whole universe shook, and that made Galactus make a serious face that he didn't make in millenniums.

"... Now, let's get a bit serious, shall we?" Ashborn then took out his sword and took a stance, Galactus in turn his instincts screamed at him to run or dodge but again, His pride and hunger got over his head.

Ashborn then made a cutting motion with his sword towards Galactus with almost the full power of The Dark Chaos just to test the waters. But the unexpected happened. The sword slash, full of chaos energy, was so powerful and fast that it arrived in an instant at his enemy arm, cutting it off the rest of his body.

"Aghhhh!!!" Galactus for the first time in thousands of years yelled out in pain.

"... I guess it was more powerful than I thought." Ashborn said to himself, As he didn't expect these results.
