Chapter 123 - Planet Shura

Following the defeat of the Avrans, it was peaceful on Earth once again. But the aftermath of the recent war was still visible in some countries. Nevertheless, everyone was looking forward to the future.

Because of the war, people realized how important strength was. The knowledge regarding origin essence was publicized by Earth Alliance. And people who wanted to train their martial arts under the Tyrannical Tower will be allowed to train for free, as long as they serve Tyrannical Tower's military for five years. After finishing that five years of service, they had the option to continue as full-time soldiers.

With regard to that, many of the poor populace were interested. They came in droves after hearing about the news. 

On the other hand, the rich decided to send their younger generation to the Earth Alliance Academy to study. They have heard of the academy's first batch of students. Their top section, in particular, graduated with all of them breaking through towards the King-Class level. Thus, many tried their best during the entrance examination. But of course, only the best of the best were chosen for the S-Class section.

"My lord, Viscount Geisler gave me fifty years to occupy this planet. And by that time, he will come here to release all his lesser demons and to make this planet as one of his breeding grounds. He had long since planned to forcefully breed humans and make Earth as a food manufacturing planet..." Faramis spoke while avoiding Cale's gaze. He was the leading figure sent by Geisler to occupy Earth.

He had even killed a lot of humans within the past few years before he had become Cale's subordinate. So he was afraid of making Cale recall his dark past.

Cale sat solemnly on his seat while frowning heavily. He appeared to be in deep thought, thus, Faramis just silently waited for him.

'Fifty years... So that was why I haven't seen any demons in my past life. It was in the year 2050 when I died, but no demons were there. The Avrans appeared on Earth three years ago, 2020. So calculating that... I still have more than forty-five years before they come on Earth. All I have to do is kill them before that time...' Cale's eyes flashed a trace of killing intent, but he instantly hid it.

But Faramis, who also a Saint felt that dreadful aura. He felt his palms sweating after sensing that faint killing intent.

"Faramis, your daughter Ailah will stay on this planet to teach our pilots..." Faramis sighed in relief after hearing that. He feared that Cale would bring his daughter with him towards the planet Shura. If she stays here, then her safety would be guaranteed. 

"As for you... You will also remain on this planet..." Cale calmly spoke while tapping his fingers on the table.

"But my lord... Who would accompany you on that planet? You haven't seen the cruelty of that place." Faramis was taken aback and he could not help but raise his voice slightly.

Cale swept his indifferent glance on Faramis which made the latter shut his mouth.

"Your identity will spell trouble for us once we are discovered. So the only option left for you is to stay here and guard Earth. Can you do this, Faramis?" 

Faramis swallowed back the words at the tip of his tongue when he saw Cale's calm gaze. He sighed weakly and nodded his head. 

"As you wish, my lord. I will make sure that Earth will be safe during your absence."

Cale nodded in approval and he did not bother questioning Faramis' loyalty. Asteria had long already told him that once someone was taken as 'The Black Market's slave, then they will never be able to disobey, unless Cale died. In case that happens, he already had a backup plan, but of course, Cale was not that foolish to have himself killed.

A year later, many events happened. 

The Marchand Family was eradicated by the tower's soldiers including their patriarch, Clement Marchand.

The Earth Alliance Academy also taught its new batch of students. Although they were not as good as the first batch, they were still the cream of the crop in the whole world.

Ailah also taught the tower's robot pilots how to effectively control their fighter robots. She might be young and naive, but her strength was the real deal. 

Some of Cale's subordinates had also broken through the Saint-Class level. Of course, Cale had something to do with their fast breakthrough. He had provided them with ample cultivation resources, that accelerated their cultivation speed. They were Vishnu, Atlas, Brogen, Zero, Zarinvienne, Nocturna and also the old doctor. 

Cale ordered Vishnu to remain as Tyrannical Tower's guardian, while the old doctor as the academy's guardian. The rest will come with him on Shura to start their plans. 

Before he left Earth, he spent almost all of his time with Sima Ying. They traveled around Earth for almost a year. Cale knew that it was a waste of time, but it was the only thing he could do to make her happy before finally leaving his birth planet.

On the day of Cale's departure, he called all of his trusted subordinates to come before he leaves with the others.

Cale who was wearing his wolf mask, calmly swept his gaze on everyone before he stopped his glance on one person.

"Trevor, step up." Wolf King spoke, unperturbed. But some of them felt a hint of encouragement within that indifferent voice.

Trevor pointed to himself with a surprised expression before walking towards Wolf King nervously.

'Did I do something wrong?'

When Trevor was already in front of him, Wolf King then patted his should with a faint smile on his face. 

"Everyone, listen. From now on, Trevor will be the new head of the Earth Alliance. All of you must follow his orders the same way you follow mine. Does someone oppose me appointing Trevor as the new Alliance Head?"

Trevor's mouth gaped in shock. He could not believe that Wolf King was actually appointing him as the new head of the Alliance. There were many people who were more than capable than him, so he was surprised by Wolf King's choice. 

Everyone was also surprised. They thought that Wolf King will choose someone like Sima Ying's father or someone from the older generation. But they never would have thought that Wolf King will choose a professor from the academy, someone from the P-Class section at that. 

Some of the world leaders and patriarchs of the big clans wanted to oppose, but after seeing Wolf King's smile, they held themselves back. They only shook their heads and sighed regretfully.

Cale nodded his head after seeing that no one disagreed with Trevor's promotion. 

"Good! Of course, I had a specific reason why I chose Trevor as the new head, as for what it is... No one is qualified to know." Everyone was speechless when they heard that, but they did not dare say any words of protest. Wolf King was already like a god in their eyes.

"Right buddy?" Wolf King whispered silently while patting Trevor's back.

"Buddy? You... You..." Trevor's jaw almost dropped on the ground after seeing Wolf King winking at him playfully.

'That cheeky look, I could never be wrong... What the fuck? Cale is Wolf King?' Trevor almost had a heart attack after realizing Cale's hint.

Wolf King's Void Wolf Immortal Wings suddenly emerged on his back. He then flapped the dark ever-burning wings slowly.

His peerless figure hovered above the people of Alliance. Five other figures followed after him and flew away from their sights. The members of the Alliance stood there and silently watch them disappear from the sky.

"They're gone..." Trevor muttered silently while clenching his fist. 

'Don't worry buddy. I won't disappoint you..' Trevor promised...

"Asteria, are you sure this will work?" Cale spoke telepathically.

"Are you doubting the words of a Universal Law Fragment?" Asteria's voice contained a bit of annoyance as she rebuked Cale.

"No no no... Not at all. I'm merely trying to make sure that everything will be fine." Cale forced a smile while glancing at the small fairy who was sitting on his shoulder.

Asteria remained silent, but she was pouting her small lips while ignoring Cale. 

"My lord, we're here..." Brogen's voice resounded beside Cale's ears. The latter then glanced at the ten feet tall gate hovering in midair. Its appearance was holy and lofty as if it was a gate towards the heavenly realms. 

"So this is the World Gate that you made, Asteria?" Cale felt the overwhelming aura produced by the gate. His subordinates also felt the suffocating atmosphere around the gate.

'I spent all my remaining Black Coins on this. I would really cry if this won't work.' Cale thought to himself. His heart bled so much after Asteria demanded an exorbitant price for making the gate 

"I can hear you, Cale. You... How dare you question me, Asteria?! Hmph!" Asteria harrumphed angrily. 

Cale scratched the back of his head while moving towards the World Gate.

"So what do I do, Asteria?" Cale asked while observing the archaic carvings on the gate. He was fascinated by the intricate patterns and he could not even decipher anything on it.

"Don't waste your time. This is not the same as that lousy Immortal-Class treasure that the demons used, but an authentic Go-" Asteria turned silent after that. 

"Pour your elemental essence on the gate to activate it." Asteria did not give Cale the time to ask her about what she had just said.

Cale knew that if Asteria does not want to speak then no matter how much he pleads, she will still not speak.

"Everyone, pour your elemental essence on the World Gate."

Cale asked for Asteria's help on making the World Gate. They can easily use the gate that Faramis and the Avrans used, but if they did that, then they will be teleported inside the demon's territory. 

Cale and his subordinates poured almost all of their elemental essence on the gate. And finally, after more than thirty minutes, the space at the center of the gate rippled and a crimson world can be seen. 

"Hurry, all of you get inside first!" Cale shouted while using both hands to pour his elemental essence. He gritted his teeth while his subordinates jump inside the gate without objection. He then followed after seeing that all of them had gone inside the gate.

Meanwhile, on planet Shura. A ten meters wide space opened above the sky and several silhouettes came out of it. Their bodies fell down from the sky, but they hurriedly used their remaining elemental essence to stabilize themselves in midair.

The space behind them then slowly closed.

Cale flapped his wings and glanced at the reddish sky with a faint smile.

"Planet Shura, I, Cale has arrived."
