Chapter 72 - Time To Ascend The Throne!

Ch- 72

Present….

Cyrus called his smelly brother again but this guy didn't pick the call! Damn! He was such a suss! 

Cyrus called Ben and made him dump some money in Nicholas's account. After that, he sent a message to Nicholas. [In another ten seconds if you don't call me! I swear I will make you mute for the rest of your life!]

Nicholas who was sulking felt his pocket vibrating for a second. He took the phone and checked his message! 

Gosh! 

His eyes sparkled with excitement!

Stars can be seen in his eyes! 

He couldn't help but feel excited. He saw a message where his brother credited one million into his account. He was excited. He thought by delaying his brother would be panicked and credit more money onto his account. But he was wrong! Because his brother did not even send a single penny after that but sent a warning! 

He waited a minute…

One minute…

Two minutes…

Three minutes…

Four minutes…

Five minutes…

*Ding* *Dong*

Nicholas opened the message with excitement. But all his excitement was thrown away from the window the moment he read the message. 

He didn't expect his brother would be this cruel. 

He cried like a scared puppy in the corner but he knew his brother was a monster he gulped and returned the call.

"Reggie has a panic attack! And you called me and disturbed his sleep! Are you looking for death!?" Cyrus's angry roar can be heard from the other side. 

Nicholas realized he pressed the button at the wrong time. No wonder his brother was angry to the point he wanted to kill him! 

"What happened?" Cyrus asked as he took a deep breath to calm himself. 

"Brother! Sister-in-law was so engrossed with your thoughts, that she even painted your and her wedding picture with our Dravidian culture!" Nicholas said. 

"Send me the picture of that painting! And until unless it was something important you don't have to call me!" Cyrus growled at him in a low at threatening voice. 

"Bye, brother!" With that Nicholas hung the call as his heart hammered in his ribcage. 

He doesn't know why but he felt that his brother was treating this guy as his own. But something he could tell was this little fellow looked like his brother and his sister-in-law. He wanted to ask his brother many times but he bites his tongue to stop himself from running the words. But the little guy's eyes were grey, unlike his brother and sister-in-law who have golden and brown eyes respectively. He racked his brain to get to the bottom of the details. His brother has the eldest sister who was two thousand years older than him. In fact, she was one of the eldest in the Basilisk after their parents. And she was known as one of the people who has cultivated her powers to the fullest. Because of her guidance only even though Cyrus was fifteen hundred years younger than her, he cultivated his powers. His sister taught him all of the things she knew. And her journey of learning new powers didn't stop her. It was said that she went into the "SAMADHISTHITHI" for thousand years to cultivate her powers only after she turned hundred years old. She was considered as one of the strongest cultivators of the powers. Every person in the Basilisk family waited for her to take over the Queen role and lead the kingdom. But she threw away the throne onto the ground without hesitating for a second.

Past..... [Nicholas recalls the things he heard and seen]

Six Hundred Years Ago...….

The King and Queen of the Basilisk were present in the courtroom. 

"Divya Shakti![Cyrus's sister's Name] Among all you are the strongest. It's your time to ascend the throne" 

"Father! I was never greedy for the throne or power. I only wanted to learn more about supernatural powers. Priest said our clan would prosper with my younger brother. I am not eligible to lead the kingdom." Shakti said. 

"Princess! But….." the king was about to say. 

"Priest said in another hundred years you will have a son,"Shakti said. 

" I will take my leave," she said and left. 

It was good news for a few Basilisk people. But not for the king and queen. Even though they were from older generations they never biased girls and boys. They always wanted their daughter to lead the kingdom. But when she rejected their offer they were sad and displeased with her. But they knew they cannot force the things that she didn't like. If she was someone normal they wouldn't even care for her opinion instead they would have forced her to take over the throne. 

But she wasn't someone who can trifle with. Because she can destroy their kingdom and kill them within seconds with just a snap of her fingers. Destruction was something they feared. And she was known as Destroyer!

She was known as the goddess Kali [Goddess of destroyer]. No one would dare to mess with her. Everything she says would come true. She rarely speaks. Even if she speaks she would speak very little because she says "I can use that time to cultivate my powers! Dumbos!" She doesn't even waste a second she would rather meditate and cultivate her powers. And to be precise she was too lazy to speak. 

The King and Queen were displeased but the other clan members were pleased. Shakti refused the throne because she was too lazy to deal with the throne politics. She would rather sit in her room and cultivate. So, to overcome that trouble she asked the priest about their next king. She went to the temple and saw their Clan Priest meditating under the tree calmly closing his eyes. 

"Divine Priest! Who will be our next king?" Shakti asked. 

"Your Brother," he said as he opened his eyes from his meditation pose. 

"When will my younger brother be born?" She asked. 

"After hundred years," after thousand years.

"He is brave, excellent, valorous, generous as the king Karna and a hero. He is another Ramachandra on this earth. With him your clan will be prosperous" he replied as changed his Yoga Mudra. 

"Thank you, Master" she said. 

With that, she left the temple. That was what she said in today's court. Shakti left with a happy face. She couldn't help but feel happy as she removed herself from the dirty court politics. And as she said, after a hundred years, Cyrus was born. And with Shakti's guidance, he became a great king. He was the youngest king who ascended the throne in the Basilisk family. In the start, he was always challenged by the people who were greedy to ascend the throne. In the Basilisk family if the direct lineage of the king and queen were not strong enough their power can be challenged anytime.

Because of Shakti's shield, he managed to hold the throne for two hundred years. After that, she removed her shield on him and threw him in the dirty politics saying him to fight for himself. In those two hundred years, he learned fast ways to cultivate his powers from his sister. Cyrus started fighting by himself for the throne after two hundred years of his ascending. When he started the fight for himself, he learned the real pain. Then he understood why his sister was so strong. From then he accepted every challenge he could. Even if he was half dead, he wouldn't let anyone help him. And his sister used to mock him saying he was a weakling and good-for-nothing guy who always needed her protection. He was so angered by her provocation. So, he always pushed himself to his limits. He went to his clan priest and sought the quickest and deadliest ways to cultivate quickly.

He wanted to be as strong as his sister. But his sister was nearly two thousand years older than him. So, reaching her means he has to push himself four times to his sister's strength. Everyone was scared he might be dead because of his deadly efforts. He was called a monster because of his efforts. In less time he almost reached his sister's level. When someone challenged his authority he would just kill them with a snap of his fingers. The other part wouldn't even get the chance to launch an attack at him. 

From then he and his sister was called "Kala and kali"
