Gods in Human Flesh

Abandoned Sector 2,

Outskirts New Chrisland City.

In the abandoned Oasis of the sector, a young handsome man was seen casually sitting on demolished building. Behind him was an enormous pile of deteriorating Primes. The pile ranged from a hundred and fifty to two hundred Primes, which was extremely odd.

Judging by the way their bodies were piled, one could tell someone brutally massacred them and the only possibility is that, Xavier was the one who killed them all, stacking their corpses into a disgusting mountain.

By his demeanor, it was clearly obvious that he was still brooding about the incident that happened previously. Just as he got lost in his thoughts, a voice suddenly boomed into the scene, waking him back to reality.

"Xavier…. Let's talk!" The Voice said, grabbing his attention.

"Elena!" He commented, staring right directly at the gorgeous lady that stood right in front of him.

"How did you find me?" He asked, sadly burying his face into his palms.

"It's obvious, I found you because you are you" Elena answered, wearing Xavier's usual awkward smile.

Seeing Elena's weird expression, Xavier couldn't help but slightly chuckle, staring earnestly into her dreamy eyes, "That's something I'd say" He said.

"That's right… Huh, it's weird being you!" Elena replied with her weird but cute imitation of Xavier.

"Hey, it's not weird!" Xavier responded, forcing a bright smile.

"It is!" Elena said, trying to imitate Xavier's British accent.

"Your accent is a bit cheeky" Xavier commented, rolling his eyes.

"Really mate?" Elena asked with a clumsy gesture.

"Yes and please, stop it!" Xavier answered, releasing a hearty chuckle.

"Alright, I'll stop it" She said, promptly ending her weird imitation.

Immediately she stopped, their conversation went sour, as both of them remained quiet, waiting for the other party to speak.

"It was my fault, isn't it?" Xavier said, breaking up their awkward moment of silence.

"If we hadn't gone on that date, I'd be there for them… Thomas and Jason wouldn't have died" He promptly added as his newly brightened mood slowly changed.

"Yeah, I guess you're right!" Elena said, fixing her gaze on her fiancé.

"If we didn't go on the date, they wouldn't have been attacked, you made mistake…. But that's just part of being a human" She added, pulling Xavier's face towards hers.

"Well, I won't necessarily say I'm human… I'm more of a god!" Xavier replied, staring straight into her eyes.

"Even god's aren't perfect" She immediately responded.

"Well!" He replied, squinting his eyes while waving his hands, totally disagreeing with her.

"Whatever, all I'm trying to say is that, you made a mistake… a grave mistake, that cost two lives" She said, giving Xavier a smack on his head.

"Ouch, you don't need to spell out the obvious" Xavier complained, caressing his bump head.

"You made a mistake, rather than beating yourself up, you've got to fix 'em!" Elena brightly said.

After a brief moment of pondering, Xavier's saddened mood brightened, bit by bit, reigniting the enthusiastic flames that burn within him, "You're right, If got to mistake my bloody mistake!" He said.

"And I know how!" He promptly added, leaping off his butt.

"Thanks Elena, I really needed that!" He appreciated her with a light kiss to her hand.

"You're welcome!" She nodded and smiled, slowly getting back to her feet's, as they both walked away.

"Wait a minute" Elena suddenly exclaimed, halting her movement as well as Xavier's.

"What is it?" He inquired, staring earnestly at his fiancée.

"What about that?" She asked, pointing at Xavier's stack of dead Primes which was deteriorating at an extremely slow rate.

"It should decompose and vanish in a couple of years!" He responded, shrugging his shoulders.

"Years… what do you mean Years?" She confusedly replied, glaring at Xavier.

"I placed a Temporal lock on them, so the time they experience is way slower than ours!" He explained, walking away from the scene.

"Why?" She inquired, obviously still confused.

"For dramatic effect, catch up will you!" He said while waving his hands at her, signifying that he was going to leave her behind.

"I'm coming!" She hurriedly exclaimed, chasing after Xavier.

Later on that day,

Jeremy's Ward,

Medical Department,

Bureau of Exorcist HQ.

Jeremy was seen, peacefully sleeping on his hospital bed. Out of the blues, he sprung to reality, leaping out of his bed.

"Finally, you're awake!" A familiar voice boomed, obviously startling the newly awakened Jeremy.

"Huh?" Jeremy blurted, curiously staring at the figure that idly stood I ward.

To his surprise, it was none other than Xavier, who was wearing an unusual Serious expression.

"What happened?" Jeremy inquired, caressing and shaking his head.

"You passed out" Xavier promptly replied, folding his hands while he observed Jeremy, who was still trying to clear up his mind.

"What happened to the others?" He curiously inquired, staring at Xavier.

Taking a deep breath, Xavier began his detailed explanation about the well being of Jeremy's comrade, " Jason and Thomas have been buried, properly. As for Yongje and Stella, they're fine. Yongje is finally awake, but he doesn't want to talk to anyone".

"What about Stella?" He earnestly inquired, interrupting Xavier's explanation.

"Fortunately, she's in no eminent danger but she's still unconscious!" Xavier promptly replied.

"Alright, that's okay!" Jeremy said with gloomy expression.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there on time!" Xavier apologized as he saw Jeremy's sour mood.

"It's not your fault… If we were much stronger, we would have taken that thing down" Jeremy commented.

"Yeah you're right…. That's why I'm going to make you stronger!" Xavier said, wearing a furious frown.

"What?" Jeremy confusedly blurted.

"Take this and put it on, quickly!" Xavier hurriedly said, tossing Jeremy's uniform at the confused youth.

"My uniform!" He excitedly commented.

"I cleaned it up for you.. Now quickly put it on" Xavier further explained, impatiently clapping his hands.

"Alright!" Jeremy said, promptly putting his uniform on.

As he began to wear it, Francis suddenly walked in on the drama, instantly greeted by a half naked youth and a furious looking Xavier. Obviously confused, Francis froze up at the door, for a couple of seconds, before he walked in.

"Oh hey Francis!" Jeremy excitedly greeted.

"Hi Jeremy!" Francis said, reciprocating Jeremy's polite gesture.

"I see He's awake" Francis said, staring at Xavier.

"Yeah, He woke up minutes ago. Also, I'll be taking custody of him, so I could seclude his training" Xavier responded.

"Oh, that makes sense!" Francis commented, ruffling his hair while fondling his pen.

"One more thing, tell Elena, I'd be gone for a week and she should prepare" Xavier sternly said, furiously staring at Francis.

"Understood, I'll deliver your message!" Francis nodded, slowly exiting the room, seeing that he's not needed.

"I'm done!" Jeremy exclaimed, signifying that he's done putting on his uniform.

"Alright, take my hand!" Xavier commented, extending his right hand at Jeremy.

"Where are we going?" Jeremy inquired, grabbing Xavier's right hand.

"Abandoned Sector nine!" Xavier replied, promptly their immediate disappearance.

Abandoned Sector 9,

Outskirts New Chrisland.

Unlike the other sectors which were slowly been cleared by the Exorcists, this sector seemed untouched as one could see various wandering Primes of different Grades. Suddenly, two humans popped up out of nowhere, startling the lower Grade Primes while the higher grades, patiently stared at the humans.

"Now we're here, we'll go straight to your training!" Xavier said not minding the Primes around him.

"Okay, you're the boss!" Jeremy replied, cracking his knuckles.

"Are you ready?"

"I was born ready!"

Somewhere beyond The Physical Plane.

The entire Dimensional Plane was an abject definition of chaos, as it's pitch black skies was illuminated by a white colored sun, followed by literal falling stars and cosmic light shows, which danced around haphazardly. The strange skies were also filled with giant sized cracks, which meant the dimension was practically crumbling to pieces.

In the middle of grotesque dimension, was a giant eerie Citadel, which stood talk despite the harsh conditions. Inside the Citadel, was an enormous throne room, with a strange looking throne, standing at the center.

Around the throne were a couple of Evolved Primes, which also included; Regal and Dragshik. They all bowed before the being seated in the eerie throne. Judging by the respect they paid to it, one could easily tell It was their apparent Leader.

"Raise!" The Being said, with an extremely coarse tone.

"My Liege, If I may ask, why did you summon us here?" Dragshik respectfully inquired.

"Isn't obvious, One of those pathetic creatures massacred most of your brothers and sisters.." The Being replied with a frightening tone. The Being's voice alone was enough to paralyze an entire country of humans, causing them to shiver and shriek in fear.

"Impossible!" One of the Evolved Primes exclaimed.

"And yet, this man did it with his bare hands. Brutally tearing apart and stacking the bodies of your brethren's!" The Being said, wearing a maniacal grin. the Being was obviously referring to the Strongest Exorcist on Earth, Xavier Schiller.

"Do you know what that means?" The Being inquired from it's underlings .

"It means that man is one those beings we've been looking for. He's definitely a god in Human flesh….. That Man…. Is one of the… Monarchs!"
