Supreme Origin: Time King

Chapter 113: II: Rune on the Stone

Two figures could be seen walking in the streets of the imposing citadel. A man and a woman. The former was wearing the clothes of a blue rank officer, his eyes shone with life while there was an intense will to fight concealed deep within his eyes and a few faint black veins covering his body.

Although she was not the most beautiful woman, the latter had a certain charm that attracts others gaze and a air of nobility around her.

"Elijah, are you sure you want to participate in this tournament like this? If it was before then it was okay, but have you forgot what we said? Your cultivation is sealed and even if you could use it, there is no way you would survive using your powers one more time." The female walking at Elijah's side said in a deep voice while she knit her brows.

"I know Cassie, but there is nothing I can do. At least I heard that only the last day will have real battles." Elijah walked with his hands behind his back before speaking in a carefree voice. Passing in the citadel shopping sector. Elijah's gaze was attracted to the corner of the street where a old man was selling stone plates with inscribed runes.

"How much is this stone?" Elijah approached the old man taking one of the stones to take a closer look. He noticed that the rune on the stone he took was similar to runes that were in the golden gate.

The old man lifted his gaze to Elijah before a few words leaved his mouth: "200 high-grade magical crystals."

"one hundred and thirty." Elijah ignored the old man's gaze.

"one hundred and eighty-nine."

"Old man don't joke with me. My last offer is 150 high-grade magical crystals. If you don't wish to sell it to me, then I will have to give up." After he said this, Elijah turned to leave under the curious eyes of Cassie before he suddenly raised his hand, holding a stone that was throw at him from behind.

"One hundred and fifty then." Elijah's face showed a big grin at the sound of the old man's voice. Walking back, he threw 150 crystals to the old man before leaving with the stone.

"What is this stone?" Cassie who was beside him could no longer hold the curiosity as she decided to ask.

"I have no idea. I only feel like I saw this before and decided to buy it. Let's go back now, I need to find this trinity body. I don't want to make master wait." Back then when he was sealed, his conection with Shadow was cut off. Now, only when the seal is broke that his conection with Shadow will return. Elijah thought of all the things he need to do before shaking his head as he followed Cassie.

....

In an old temple on top of a mountain, stood twelve huge thrones and a dozen rows of smaller thrones. In a short time, the temple was full of enormous figures that sit on their thrones.

After a few moments, a heavy and intense voice echoed across the entire temple waking the several figures that were sleeping.

"Hello everyone, all of you must allready know why we are reuniting here. On the last thousand years a organization named Cosmos started infiltrating the galaxies in the Physical Plane, but ten years ago they begun to act cutting our comunications with our vassal worlds and the other Gods. Recently a friend of mine gave me the news that someone from the high echelon of the Cosmos has been seen on Peuh Star searching for the pieces of the Prime King."

One of the figures in the front row, a blue-haired middle-age man in a light blue robe with the mark of a trident on his forehead interrupted: "Why does this have to do with us. Peuh is not part of our jurisdiction, it is part of the Mortal Alliance. Not only we can't use our true bodies in the Physical Plane even if we could, the Immortals could start a war because of this."

"Dear Poseidon, I have the same thoughts a you, but this organization is growing without stop. If their objective is truly the return of the prime king, then things will be much worse for us if they achieve their goal. I think we should heard what Zeus has to say." A seductive lady with pink hair and a face that could destroy entire worlds raised her voice while showing a stunning smile.

"Thank you Aphrodite. Every one of you must rebember the horrors the prime king brought to us celestials. So much that when we united with the others to bring his fall, we sealed every single one of his body pieces in one planet and the fragments of his soul in different dimensions before we wiped our memory of where we sealed him so no one could bring him back..."

"But now there is this 'Cosmos' searching for him." Guessed Poseidon.

"Right, the first piece was inside the black vortex in Midgard. Athena had gone there to cofirm my speculation and it was really one of the crypts we sealed him." Zeus pointed with his finger at Athena, seating on her throne wearing a white greek dress with owl on her shoulder.

Under the gaze of the other Gods, she nodded with her head.

"It was really the prime king's crypt." Raising her hand, the statues on the crypt appeared one by one. They were the Celestial that lost their lives on the fight with the Prime King. All the Gods gave a deep breath as they felt coldness in their hearts.

"Then what should we do?" the minor Gods asked in unison.

Zeus made a gesture for Athena to continue: "Before this, I was on a mission to observe a young mortal..."

"Zeus why did you not sent me to these type of missions?" Aphrodite was the first to interrupt while making a sad look. The male gods had to put out the fire rising within them as they heard her seductive voice while trying to think about other things.

"Shh, Aphrodite this is not the time. You can't see what is happening with the male Gods. Every time it is like this. Let Athena continue." Zeus said this, but deep down he had another thought. 'If I really send her on this missions it would not be strange for her to bring back one or two babies.' Of course he would never say this loud.

"Like I said before, I was on a mission to observe a young mortal suspect of being the reincarnation of a God on planet 36-A. I stayed there for eight months in total and I could see some things. When I met him I noticed that his true soul is very young so it is imposible for him to be the reincarnation of a God, But he is the descendant of that man. He also gives me the same feel as the old monters of the Eternal Time Family. At that time he had a very close relationship with the goddess of healing Eir. Before she was killed by Kronos, she even gave him a God Essense Artifact, this is more than enough to know how close they were..."

"And where do you want to go with it?"

"Currently, this boy is in Peuh Star. I supose we gave him the mission to investigate where the Prime King crypt is located and there is also another thing I'm curious about."

"And what is the name of this mortal you've been talking about?" Asked Poseidon with a thoughtful expression.

"Elijah Branches."
