AETHERS
EPISODE 13

"i don't want to linger anymore, tell them, I'll wait in the underground arena!" atlas

the man nodded and stood up, he led the way towards the underground arena,

the arena was huge, and vast, as wide as a football field, the floor was marble, and there was an area above the venue for spectators restricted by iron barriers but no spectators

"i'll call them, while waiting please practice" he left the room, leaving us both

"ahem"

atlas was awakened and would explain to aslan

"he's a clan master instructor, his mentor, you're going to fight with them soon"

flashback 3 years ago

atlas is asleep in the living room

"atlas" voice calls from someone he knows

his father's voice, woke him up

zeus now appears in front of the atlas, astonished atlas

why is his father here

"what's the matter dad?" ask atlas

his father's form is still the same as before it makes no difference

"now I realize, the destiny your son carries is terrible,

his destiny became the talk of the gods" explains zeus

atlas was amazed "why?" ask atlas

"all I can tell you is that your life isn't 7 years away,"

atlas was surprised not to play, zeus' explanation was very unreasonable

"when your son was born, a creature entered his body,

this creature is not an indiscriminate creature,

he was a being that even if all the gods in the sky were to unify his strength they could not defeat him

even I fear him, only you have enough power to match with the creature, even the gods have admitted that your power has surpassed the god himself, even me

the whole god depends on you,"

wait, what was the purpose of the creature entering my son's body" asked atlas

zeus breathed out his breath

"he needs a container, the container for the creature must be with the body of a god

he didn't use your body because you were stained with the primordial dark

when your child grows up, he will be more and more able to take over his body

and there you go, I give you two choices,

the first one is training your son to be strong

and control that creature

second, you kill your son"

atlas was silent, what to do, what to do,

he did not want to kill his son

"i don't want my granddaughter to die yet, the second way will save us all and be more effective

when the creature is out it will kill all humans, then it will proceed with killing the gods"

"but what exactly is the creature" asked the curious atlas

with a frightened tone zeus replied

"just by saying his name alone any god ketar ketir

his name is KRONOS!!, your grandfather"

atlas' eyes are now widened

flashback off

"now I will explore your mind

to find out how powerful you are now"

atlas held onto Aslan's head and closed his eyes

it didn't take long for the atlas to enter Aslan's mind,

it was so dark, it was like it should be

but it turned out that the darkness was coming from something that was at the end of the place,

the creature was much darker than this room, it lunged at the atlas very quickly, even faster than the speed of the atlas itself

then the atlas took it off with a heart that was pounding very fast, he said,

"oh nothing" replied the atlas

the sound of footsteps of many people, approaching them

a man in a fur-robed, crown-wearing figure stood in the audience, along with a woman and girl about 19 and a 13-year-old boy, who appeared to be his wife and child

"oh, Mr. Atlas, nice to meet you,

what the hell did you come here calling our hero?" ask the king kindly

"i want to test the strength of my son,"

now all the clan champs had come in front of them

"alright now you can choose your opponent—"

"i'll fight it all!!" cut aslan

atlas was not surprised by this statement

he really wants Aslan to fight everything,

instead, he was afraid that against one fate the clan champion would have the same fate as vero

but not with the king he was amazed by the answer aslan, but still let

"be careful son" the atlas flew towards the audience section

now in the arena leaving aslan and ten heroes

"hey brat, you don't be arrogant, even your father fought us one by one" said one of them

on the other hand, "are you sure your son can beat them?" ask the king

"his power is beyond reason, the prophecy I told you about the battle between gods that I thought I was going against hades is false"

the king was still listening to the words of the atlas, and his wife and son were also watching the atlas because they knew it too

"then what are you going to fight?" ask the king in wonder

atlas then looked at his son "in my opinion, I will fight kronos" explained atlas slightly covering up the fact about his son

they are now amazed, kronos is not an indiscriminate creature, he is a creature that can defeat a thousand gods

back to the arena, though,

the king ordered the fight to begin,

one of the heroes advanced at an extremely high speed, yet even with the speed of lightning aslan had already pitted a punch with that person

the hero bounced back while Aslan still stood firm, eight people advanced, but aslan kicked and punched them with a turbo attack, now two people left

the two men advanced simultaneously, attacking from the sampin kana and left

aslan held it in both hands, and threw the punch in any direction,

they hit him again, but Aslan brushed off each of their blows and returned the blow,

aslan did not even move an inch from his place

"hey, is this a dream, my hero was slaughtered so easily!?" said the king

atlas had expected that this would happen

then Aslan made a fire tornado around it so they sucked the tornado and burned

"stop!!" atlas's orders

then Aslan put out the fire

they were now dumbstruck, even the princess and prince were amazed by the boy's strength

○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○

atlas now know how strong the power of Aslan, now they will continue their journey

"where are we going, Dad?" ask aslan

"now I will teach you about the lives of the citizens of this continent, I will call it the continent of the clan

you will become an adventurer and help this continent

there is an organization that calls itself a 'Bia' organization that wants power

according to them it was the owner of the greatest power that should have ruled this continent,

they are an organization that the majority of members are lamia

I want you to destroy the organization,

but before that, you'll practice with me"

time shows it's night, they sleep at the house of Azel's friend atlas

in the morning, they were on top of the mountain, and the atlas ordered Aslan to sit on the grass

"alright, I'll explain

inside your body is a huge force, even greater than my strength, that power will change your destiny" then the atlas again explained about kronos, the monster that resides in Aslan's body

"i want you to conquer it, when you have conquered it you will realize that you can destroy a continent with one hand"
