A/N: this chapter wasn't published days ago and I have not noticed it, resulting to multiple errors and inconvenience. so here is the chapter 858. i'm very sorry about this.
---
Crown Prince Shen didn't say more. It was the decision of the highest and most respected entity in their Imperial Throne. Any more doubt would displease the old man. After all, they had been speaking with suspicions until now. As a matter of fact, it was already amazing that the ancestor was very patient with them knowing his temperament.
"I know you have your doubts, too." The great ancestor suddenly spoke, "But that man has unending possibilities that not even the prospect can measure."
Hearing this, the crown prince was shocked. This was a big revelation to him. Since it's from the great ancestor, there's no doubt that the credibility was high.
"The sea cannot fathom his greatness..." The crown prince suddenly remembered an old adage of millions of years ago.
"You cannot offend him. Our Imperial Throne can never take it." The great ancestor said.

"Rumble!" Out of the blue, the sky turned dim. Thunderstorms suddenly raged the place as heavy rain poured down. There was also a hissing sound echoing in all directions.
"It's here." The great ancestor said. His eyes were filled with sharpness. The expected Calamity Scheme was descending on them.
The knights formed a line, ready to combat the enemies. The cannons and their massive artilleries were also loaded full, prepared to fire at any moment.
Take note, these cannons weren't normal ones that you could find. One fire of this could destroy a whole powerhouse within a second!
On the luxurious villa, Jin Rou was meditating when he suddenly opened his eyes, "It's coming."
"The Calamity Scheme..." Anderson was horrified. Time and time again, he was part of the extremely dangerous endeavors of this group. Confronting a Calamity Scheme by themselves? That's probably dreaming!
Remember, not even Zodiacs and Administrators would dare claim they could take on a Calamity Scheme with ease.
"Your family will be ashamed of you if you keep on being a coward." Sylvianna hopped out of her personal space and said, "At the very least, act strong and stand tall."
She hated cowards the most. After all, her family had been one and she didn't want more people being one. If there's a proper direction, that should be forward.
Anderson bit his lip after hearing this. The little girl had a point. He was already an adult and it's time he should act one.
"Are you coming?" Jin Rou asked Sylvianna, ignoring the two's bickering.
"Of course. It's going to broaden my horizon there." Sylvianna nodded, "So let's go."
"Zzz!" Soon, black and red walls shot up to the sky, fully imprisoning the whole Imperial Throne. Unless the schema was cleared, there's no way the people inside could get out.
Many citizens knelt down and prayed to let them survive. Children were crying as they were being comforted by their mothers. They might be part of the Imperial Throne, but they're nothing but normal people here.
"Kikikiki..." A weird laughter came from above. It was like the sound of a bat flying over the sky. It was deep and creepy, making their skins crawl.
Then, slowly, a figure appeared in the void. It was figure in black with a single horn. There were no eyes, nose, lips, or whatsoever. Just a pure substance of black.
"As per Fate Scheme's decree for the Imperial Throne, you all have to die." It's a deep voice coming from the black figure, "And be thrilled, as Uxion is going to do the deed for all of you!"
"Calamity Uxion." The great ancestor spoke, "Before things as they may, I want to ask a question."
"Old man, I heard you. Let's hear it." Uxion spoke as he raised his hand.
Calamity Schemes were all part of the Possibility of Prospect. Meaning, they were pieces of the possibility which were sent to balance the world. It's a last resort of the possibility to maintain the natural flow of nature.
"You want to wipe us out because we hold the key for 'that', right?" The great ancestor raised his question, "You see the key as an impending disaster that you should avoid happening. Because if it really does, the balance would be tilted and it will affect the Dark Train itself."
"Hmm." Uxion acted like it was contemplating, "The Great Ancestor Tufo must be the brightest man in the Imperial Throne."
Everyone took this as confirmation to the question. But the next question was, what key was the Calamity talking about?
"I don't deserve such words." The great ancestor snook his head, "And, I think you have miscalculated this time."
"Boom!" Uxion wanted to say something when a large explosion came around. Lightning strikes tried to hit him but he managed to avoid it.
"Calamity Scheme turning into a figured form, the Scheme Fate is really desperate to protect the train." Jin Rou appeared, walking in the air like he was at the park, "But too bad, you've come here at the very wrong moment."
"A lucky Particularity." Uxion spoke with a deeper tone, "Dares to spout some arrogant nonsense."
"A mere pebble-like Calamity feels like he is a god by playing here." Jin Rou sarcastically said.
"Arrogance!" The Calamity roared and thorns went out of his body descending towards the whole population. It might be angered now, but he knew what to prioritize.
"Try again." Jin Rou threw a punch and all of the thorns were canceled. His power had fully adjusted now, so even going all out without the possibility noticing was possible. Of course, it came with a price.
Uxion was baffled as he saw his thorns canceled. Take note, each of them contained a heavy prospect yet it was easily deflected by the enemy.
Soon, Uxion grew eyes, nose, and lips. He was now looking more of a human like in a pure black skin.
"It's evolving." The great ancestor creased his brow, "It was greatly threatened by the Young Noble, so it's adding up more power."
This was why it's called a Calamity. Even inside the restriction area, it could bypass the prospect and use all of its power according to its will unlike the residents and challengers who were hindered and binded by the possibility.
