The God Reckoning Tribulation

Elric lost his mind and everything went blank. A deafening silence has overwhelmed his only remaining consciousness. It was a feeling worse than death.

Sadness, agony, helplessness, hopelessness, and loneliness. They all covered his very soul.

Why? If only this was a dream, but sadly it's not.

His heart continued to cry in misery. He could only blame himself and no one else. How could a simple act of leaving his home resulted in so much death?

Questions continued to pour out in his heart. He was broken and has lost his will to live.

"You have to let it all go."

A voice suddenly came out of the darkness.

Elric's consciousness was reawakened from the warm and gentle voice. It was like a comforting voice from a loving father talking to his son. It was pleasing, relaxing and seems to wash away all the pains and suffering.

It was a liberating voice.

"Why do you hold on to it? It's not like it is the end." The voice continued.

" Your life has just begun... Elric."

And like a spark, a realization dawned on Elric's mind. All of his memories flashed again like a passing star. This time, what he saw are not the painful or sad moments but all the blessings he had in his life. The fun and joyful moments devoid of malice and hate.

Elric could see the smile of his parents when he was born. He could see when he blew the candles from his birthday cake while his young neighbor and friends sang the happy birthday song for him.

They all sand with gladness and happiness. Elric could not help but cry in happiness as he saw the gentle smile from his parent's faces.

He can see the scene when he came hope waiving his perfect score from the elementary exam and getting a pat from his mother and father. They were so proud of him and so is he to himself. He could see how his classmates cheered for him during a successful school presentation and how it boosted his confidence.

The moments when he and his best friend, Jim, skipped school to steal Mrs. Eding's huge and delicious guava fruits only to get chased by the bees. They went home laughing from each other's swollen faces.

He recalled how he met his first crush and how his heart beats wildly from her presence. The day he dedicated his first salary to his grandma only to see her cry in happiness.

And lastly, the contented smile on her face before she got devoured. It was an eye of calmness and contentment. It was the real definition of love and happiness and acceptance of fate.

And like a revelation, a series of realization poured out in Elric's mind.

"Life is the movement of time and things. Everything comes and goes. Let go of your attachments and discover the boundless power of your light."

Elric's eyes are closed but open to the wisdom of light. His soul shines in holy divine light.

"It is time Elric. Wake up." said the warm and mysterious voice.

Suddenly, Elric's vision was warped in white. He felt the heat and power gushing out of his body.

He gained back control of his physical body and the blinding light was slowly melting the darkness all over his body.

Elric was in the middle of the God Reckoning Tribulation.

****

"This... could it be?!" Lang struggled to raise his head due to his injury but nonetheless, he was still able to confirm his suspicion.

"Is this the legendary God Reckoning Tribulation that can transform an ordinary Dragon to a Devine stage?" Lang's body shook in unexplained agitation, but he was also confused.

Was it one of the Dragon Kings or Queen who triggered this phenomenon?

Above him is a White blue sky forming the shape of an eye! The bright light covered the whole area and everything was too clear. He could not believe the clarity of his surroundings as the light turned the night into a day!

KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKAKABONG!

Without any warning, the dark clouds sent massive lightning that resembled a white blade straight at Elric's head and instantly covered him with scorching white light!

"Is that God-Reckoning Tribulation of Light choosing the Dark Dragon?!!!"

Every Dragon knows that there are different levels of Tribulation of Light for every stage of breaking through.

The first was the first level of Tribulation of Light called Mortal Breaking Light which allows a dragon to reach up to 300 years old and drastically improve their physical capacity and even learn the ability to shapeshift to different life forms.

The 2nd tribulation is called Primal Vehemence Dissension and allows them to break their current bottleneck and reach 500 to 700 years old, ultimately improving their body and enhancing their quality of blood closer to an Ancestral Level which is the origin of all Dragon species.

The purer a dragon's blood, the more powerful one can get and the more expensive it is sold to the black market!

But the final tribulation of Light is called the God-Reckoning Tribulation that allows one dragon to reach a Divine state and become immortal with an indestructible body!

However, it is also because of this overpowered state that Dragons who have overcome this tribulation are not allowed to stay on earth and are taken to the Heavenly Garden where only the most powerful beings exist!

Could this out of nowhere hybrid have become a true Ancestral Dragon? Or is it just heaven's decision to take the overpowered creature back to where he should belong?

Questions continued to overwhelm everyone when they suddenly realized that they are also not safe.

WOOOOOOHHHMMM!~

The powerful impact of the God Reckoning Lightning Tribulation sent powerful shock waves sending everyone flying away like dust except Elric who is at the center of the lightning.

The blinding light suppressed every other living being and it continued to rain down on him like a waterfall of lightning.

BAAASSSHH~

Not even the powerful barrier which was set up by the Human Guardians was able to last from the powerful heavenly lightning! One could see the pilots of the Guardian planes hastily controlling their planes to avoid crashing down!

The Dragon Kings and Queens who were all close to the Tribulation were not safe as well. The powerful impact sent them hundreds of miles away while sustaining more critical injuries!

Slowly the lightning Tribulation has faded and the remaining Dragons and Guardians hastily came back to see the result only to be disappointed as Elric was nowhere to be found.
