Chapter 157: Sky battle

A few days ago in the guardian realm.

Chaos again took place on the premises of the world tree. The 111 guardians were all trying their best to control the gigantic universe but alas.

The world tree was losing more and more branches and decreasing its size. It was trying to get stabilized by cut-off comic waves but it wasn't enough. So, the world tree was taking decisions itself to maintain its stability.

The world tree was shrinking.

At that moment, the guardian of water called out to all the king's guardians and said, "There are still criminal guardians wandering around the universe to hide. Since the heavenly guardians cut off communication, we must unite and protect the universe. Even if it means shaking hands with criminals, I'll do anything to save this universe."

The guardian of fire muttered something but nobody couldn't hear what he said. So the guardian of earth complained, "Ever since we lost the connection with the god, nothing good is happening. Tell me, why did you kick Astraeus out of the realm?"

The guardian of water looked at her with gritty eyes and said, "Don't ask me anything related to this matter. I called everyone here to ask for help. According to the guardian of wind, there are still 5 guardians hidden all together on a planet called earth. They are great at concealing their fragments. Since all 111 of you are gathered here, they are all criminal guardians. But it's not the time to maintain a million years old grudge. We need their powers to save our world tree if we want to keep the universe alive. So, I am inviting them back to our home. Now, who wants to volunteer to go below the realm and convince them? It's best to take at least 3 of them if we want to maintain the suitability within four thousand years."

The guardian of wind, Eurus raised his hand and said, "I will go. I know exactly where they are and I am confident that I can convince them. As a king, I am sure I can bring them here with honour and dignity." noVe.lb-In

Well, that's what he thought.

...

The present day.

His belief was crushed into bits right after he walked into the barrier and fell on his knee. The pressure was so intense that he could no longer stand still.

He managed to raise his head to look at his face and ask his identity. But when he heard that a demigod was standing in front of him, he lost his consciousness for the first time in life.

"Heh? Fainted already? Did I leak too much aura out?"

He shook his head in frustration and said, "Adonis, can you take care of this greene? I'm getting ready for my duty. I have classes after that so I don't want to deal with this problem now. Call me when he wakes up."

Adonis appeared out of nowhere and dragged Eurus inside the house. His glass-like silky green hair was too perfect that it cleaned the pathway and all the way to a guest room. Still, he was spotless.

"Tsk! How convenient-_-."

He then went inside the room where the three were still rolling on the floor and turned on the light. Min Ah, who was very happy with his hybrid life, changed his mind. He grinned his teeth and said, "I always thought I was special because I'm born a hybrid. Now, I am very envious of normal human life. I wish I could just roam around carefree and sleep throughout the entire day. I don't want to study anymore."

He then looked at Viktor by rotating his head like a robot and said, "Viktor, can you knock me out? I don't want to work anymore."

"Sadly, that option is not available. Get up, we need to assemble in the training fields before 3:45. The duty starts at 4."

The three of them prepared their bags and went back to their home to change into their outfit to academy uniforms. Viktor was constantly looking into the future and saw nothing but trouble awaiting. So he just kicked the chair and sat in the air with his arms and legs crossed.

He was pissed off because of the sudden change in the future.

'I wish I could make a clone of myself and let him do all the work. Wait, no. That's what Elesis did and ended up with hundreds of clones of himself. Hah!!!'

The clock was ticking non-stop, so he turned on all the lights of the house and said, "I guess it's time for me to get ready. I have duties, classes, office work and my own work. I miss my life as a freelancer."

He checked his backpack and went out with four of his knights following him secretly.

At the academy premises.

Viktor waved at Welis and the others who were checking the situation of the terrorist group. Since all the students of the academy were divided into three groups, the night shift students were all coming back. It was the time for early morning shift workers' duty.

Viktor checked his phone after a whole day and saw an article about his brother. Also below that, he saw his fighting video was trending. People were more interested in him than his brother being a chairman of HQ.

'Well, I thought Adonis was going to cover me but it looks like I was wrong. Maybe I should wear a mask...'

The time passed and the five of them reached their destination to secure the area's safety. The sky was slowly getting brighter and brighter. At that particular time, people should be asleep but something was different this time.

Most of the people of J zone were awake and they were all waiting to see the J-12 team on their duty. Not only that, some brave reporters and also neutubers were walking on the street to spot the team.

But who knew they'd be standing on top of a tower?

Viktor opened a can of coffee and said, "Min Ah, have you sobered up yet?"

"Yes, your medicine works like magic. As expected from the North family prodigy."

"So you heard it." Viktor smiled.

"Yes, my father was so interested in who sold that miracle elixir. He paid about 30 million to know who made it. I was a little shocked when I heard that someone from our academy made it. Lucky me, got a chance to drink your medicine."

"I'll take that as a compliment."

The sun came up and the sky became bright blue. The city was walking up and then, all of them noticed a floating object in the sky.

A green floating object was above the city.

Viktor felt its presence and looked at the east where the sun was rising. It was Eurus, the guardian of the wind who was looking for Viktor.

The five of them who were guarding the area also noticed the man approaching them slowly. The people below the guardian also noticed him and started to record everything that was going on.

After crossing a few buildings, Eurus stopped and said, "Viktor E North. I command you to go back to the guardian realm."

Eurus spoke in the language of the guardian so nobody understood what he said except for Viktor.

Viktor became so irritated that he accidentally broke the phone in his palm. He took a step in the air that made the three of them stunned.

Viktor then approached a little closer to Eurus and said, "Looks like you forgot about yesterday's incident. How dare a hand fan order me around when his life is in grave danger? You're in no position to tell me what to do."

Eurus remembers that he fainted yesterday, but he didn't feel where the intense pressure came from. So he thought it was that demonic human who released the aura, not Viktor.

After he woke up, he found nobody in the house but a kid with dark mana in the kitchen. So he left without a word and followed the trail of the nearest guardian.

Luckily, it happened to be Viktor who was on duty.

Viktor stared at his face for some moment and then Eurus said, "It's an emergency summon. Not a friendly proposal. The kings have approved the criminals' presence in the realm. We won't harm anyone because something grave is happening. So we have to cooperate in order to maintain the natural stability."

"So you can't handle the world tree so you need help from the criminals whom you previously threatened. Why? Are 111 people not enough to maintain stability? Why do you need the help of a criminal now? Doesn't that hurt your pride as royal blood?"

The four clone knights appeared and secured Viktor from four directions. They all said, "My lord, please let us protect you."

The people who were looking at them from below became speechless when they saw women in huge white leather wings. They weren't flapping but they were working as 'minus gravity' to keep them afloat.

They quickly went viral all over the internet.

The guardian of wind shook his head and said, "That unholy presence of soulless people around you. It's not permitted to create such odd beings. What have you done? God will curse the world."

"The goddess is no longer in charge of controlling this universe. This world is already doomed." Viktor took out a weapon that he made from a green stone and changed its form to a wand.

The wind guardian became more furious to see him preparing for a fight, so he also summed his cane. Both of them were preparing for a catastrophic-level battle.
