Chapter 5:
Rakkuhōshiten
"Calm down, and don't be reckless. If we fight, this academy could be destroyed," Yorian refused, glancing at the fragile structures around them.
"Please, just once," Ariana begged, her eyes wide with eagerness.
"Fine, if that's what you want," Yorian relented, a sigh escaping him.
Before the fight began, their teacher suddenly appeared, intervening.
"What madness is happening here?" the teacher exclaimed, looking at the tension between them.
"He did, sir. Yorian just killed me and revived me," the former thug, Loe Shing Tang, confessed, trembling slightly.
"Don't joke. Yorian is only 4, while you're 15; how could a brat like him manage to kill you, let alone revive you, idiot?" the teacher scolded, his voice disbelieving.
"That's true, sir," other students agreed, still bewildered by the previous events.
Before the teacher could intervene further, Ariana, ever impulsive, attacked Yorian.
Ariana swung her sword of light towards Yorian, but he deflected it with Gravity power, causing her attack to miss.
"That's it, because you're valuable to me, I'll give you a small strike," Yorian said, a playful challenge in his voice.
He used Gravity Pressure, making it difficult for Ariana to move, causing her to fall and crawl on the ground.
"I can't do it anymore, big brother," Ariana admitted, her strength failing.
"Alright," Yorian said, releasing the pressure.
"That's enough; stop fooling around. Now, go see the principal," the teacher commanded, shaking his head.
As they entered the principal's office, he questioned Yorian's actions of killing and reviving Loe Shing Tang.
"He's from another world, sir," Ariana stated abruptly, her curiosity overriding any sense of discretion, which immediately irritated Yorian.
He prepared to unleash U-DABSA 10240, a surge of anger rising within him at her thoughtless revelation.
The principal's eyes widened momentarily, a flash of profound shock crossing his face. Reviving someone from utter annihilation, let alone crafting a body from nothing, was a feat beyond any known magic or science in Aelonisova. He visibly struggled to compose himself.
"Relax, sit down; I won't tell anyone. Explain what happened to you first to become like this?" the principal asked, his voice now surprisingly steady, though his eyes betrayed his disbelief.
Since Yorian sensed no true malice from the principal, only a deep, intellectual curiosity mixed with shock, he decided to be brutally honest about his (fabricated) past. "I don't feel like explaining, but in short," he began, his voice flat, "I was a scion of a global conglomerate, a privileged heir who became a manipulator, responsible for the deaths of 22 billion lives across a world I saw as nothing but trash. I shaped it, bent it to my will, and created a new world order."
The principal's jaw dropped. He initiated a series of psychological and manipulative assessments, probing Yorian's mind. To his astonishment, Yorian answered every question with seamless logic and chilling insight, explaining complex psychological profiles and grand manipulative strategies with ease. His disbelief slowly turned into a grim understanding.
"I believe you," he finally said, a tremor in his voice, "but how did you come to this world?"
"I was called here by the Demon King Sova," Yorian revealed.
His eyes nearly bulged out of his sockets. "Sova...?" he whispered, fear momentarily overriding his intellectual curiosity.
Finally, after a long silence, he took a deep breath. "I understand. This knowledge... this power... it is immense. I swear, Yorian, I will not exploit you, nor will I reveal your true origins. I only ask that you use your abilities for good, or at the very least, not for widespread destruction." He offered a silent pact.
"Understood," Yorian nodded, accepting his terms.
Afterward, Yorian left for Paxeotechastra as it was time to return home.
"When can we practice fighting again, big brother?" Ariana asked, her excitement undimmed by the earlier events.
"Okay, let's do it now," Yorian agreed, a smile touching his lips.
They went to an empty room far from Paxeotechastra and engaged in combat with full force.
Ariana slashed with her sword of light, but Yorian deflected it.
Then, Yorian unleashed his 6-attribute sword, causing a clash that generated gravitational waves and explosions visible even from Aelonisova's surface.
Using gravity, he pressed Ariana from all sides. She countered with a 'Light Rain' of thousands of light arrows, but he retaliated with a 'Relative Jet,' causing her to deploy a 'Light Defense' to shield herself.
Seeing her reliance on a single attribute, he reminded her of her six attributes.
She then employed a 'Black Hole Suction,' drawing his 'Relative Jet' into it, her mastery growing with each clash.
As they were engrossed in the brutal fight, Paxeotechastra's system detected the arrival of a large number of mysterious objects.
"Warning, Large Number of Unknown Entities Begin Approaching Planet Aelonisova," the defense system alerted, its voice calm and automated.
"Planetary Protection Has Been Activated," the defense system announced.
Instantly, Paxeotechastra began rotating at an angle of 180 degrees, facing space, as millions of lights approached.
"1 Million Nuclear Missiles Were Successfully Launched," the defense system announced.
Missiles emerged from all sides at the bottom of the fortress, streaking towards the incoming fleet.
"Process Of Shooting Mass Destruction Energy Begins," the defense system activated.
"1% Successful Shooting Mass Destruction Energy," the defense system announced, indicating the charge status.
"Ariana, look at that (mysterious entity); we can use it as good training material," Yorian suggested, a glint of excitement in his eyes.
"Let's destroy them, big brother," Ariana agreed, her own enthusiasm matching his.
They entered the battlefield, witnessing missiles destroying many spacecraft of the mysterious entities.
However, some resisted, protected by powerful shields and millions of aircraft.
The fleet Yorian saw was enormous, and he doubted the Mass Destruction Energy alone could destroy them all.
Therefore, they quickly engaged, destroying many spacecraft before the Mass Destruction Energy was ready to be fired, attacking them with numerous assaults.
"Whoever destroys the most wins," Yorian declared, turning it into a game.
"Hey, big brother, you cheated first," Ariana protested, though a grin played on her lips.
Yorian forged his sword from cosmic energy, an immensely powerful blade infused with the 6 cosmic energies (Yin-Yang and the 4 fundamental forces of the universe). He swung it, generating energy waves perceptible even by some of the enemy forces. After creating a small defensive formation around him, he then slashed through thousands of the mysterious fleet's ships, triggering fusion and fission explosions that caused signal interference (due to electromagnetic waves) in nearby fleets. The resulting debris was then condensed by gravity, forming temporary black holes before vanishing. Ariana, not to be outdone, her eyes sparkling, danced gracefully yet terrifyingly. She wielded energy as destructive as Yorian's sword techniques. From the swing of her blade, crescent-shaped photons were unleashed, slicing through hundreds of ships, causing massive explosions that birthed nebulae from the ships' cores.
"Aw, you lost; I managed to destroy 1239 ships," Yorian boasted.
"You cheated, big brother," Ariana pouted playfully.
"You're like children playing," a mysterious voice remarked from the midst of the fleet.
"What now?" Yorian asked, sensing a new challenge.
Protective ships began revealing massive aircraft carriers, revealing their true scale.
"I, King Fangyu Zang, came here to rescue our empress," King Fangyu declared, his voice booming across the void.
"I never hid your empress," Yorian countered, genuinely confused.
"Don't lie; we brought aid. If you don't hand over Empress Loes, we'll take her by force," King Fangyu threatened, his ships readying their weapons.
"Loes? Loeshinzang?" Yorian realized, connecting the name to the flower Sova had given him.
"Now you know; she's sealed in that flower by Sova, and we saw you hiding it when Sova gave it to you," King Fangyu accused, his tone heavy with righteous anger.
"No, it's just the only fuel to activate the inter-omniverse portal," Yorian explained, still unaware of the flower's true identity, remembering Sova's words. He recalled how Sova had given it to him when he was at his headquarters, a mysterious artifact he claimed was merely fuel for cosmic travel. (Author's Note: Unbeknownst to Yorian, Loes was indeed the Empress of the Eis Oeyies Empire, a realm that historically opposed the Va Tribe led by Omni Va for billions of years. Sova, being allied with Omni Va or perhaps even Omni Va himself, sealed her to ensure the Va Tribe's dominance, making the flower a potent but unknowingly dangerous catalyst.)
"Ah, I see. Well, before reinforcements arrive, let's fight," King Fangyu suggested, clearly not convinced by Yorian's explanation.
"Alright, come at me," Yorian challenged, preparing for battle. Gravity Force by Yorian
King Fangyu immediately fell to the ground, crushed by an invisible weight, infuriated.
"WHAT HAVE YOU JUST DONE, KID?!" King Fangyu shouted, struggling against the immense pressure.
"I'm 104 years old, and you're 50, so who's the kid?" Yorian retorted, a smirk on his face.
"WHAT?! YOU'RE LYING!" King Fangyu exclaimed, his rage mixed with shock.
"100% Successful, Mass Destruction Energy Ready for Shooting," the system announced, cutting through the standoff.
"Mass Destruction Energy Fires In 5, 4...." the defense system counted down.
"See you later, buddy; you'll be back below on your planet," Yorian said to King Fangyu, knowing he'd be teleported away by the explosion's force.
"2, 1," the defense system concluded.
A colossal laser beam streaked through space, leaving a trail of destruction in the sky.
The red light burned intensely, scorching the void and posing an unimaginable threat to anyone in its path.
The beam slammed into Tavanise, the second moon of planet Aelonisova. The moon shattered into a million fragments, its destruction capable of devastating Aelonisova's cultures and causing significant conflicts in the future. (to be continued...)
