The Cold Blooded Hunter: Seeker of Peace
277. Monarch as Cold Blood Hunter
"You can't believe it, but that's the fact."
"Ray is no ordinary man, he inherited the intelligence of a war god, and that's why he can easily remember many things, including knowing everything about the creation of the universe."
"If he says he's a normal human being, you can't just trust him. Memories of millions of years flowed in his mind, as well as the power of the God of Destruction Sword sealed within him after he made it back to his world."
"Siegfried may say he dared to seal Ray's power, but he didn't know that Ray was strong with just his physique. Ray alone can hit a mountain and destroy it with just a punch, so you can't underestimate it."
The God of Space Time closed his book, "Honestly, when the Flame Emperor said he wanted to pass on his power to the humans on earth, I remembered the legend..."
"Each world has its own king, and each king inherits a unique ability from the first god, the previous war god Varhin.." he patted me on the shoulder.
"All kings are the best Monarchs among other Monarchs, you are also a Monarch, and since your mission is a little more complete, I will offer you something..."
"What's that?"
"An ability to seal your power in the Black Fire Sword" he replied briefly.
Whahuh? Sealing my abilities in my sword? Is that possible?
"I haven't explained it yet, that the Black Flame Sword is a Divine Weapon, just like the weapons of the gods. The kings held the Divine Weapon, and again, Ray had something that not all kings had, namely he held seven Divine Weapons at once."
Well, I don't think I'm surprised anymore, his nickname in the heaven realm alone God of Destruction Sword, surely he has a huge collection of destructive swords...
"The Black Flame Sword is not an inanimate object, it is alive, but it needs a god to activate its original power." he said, "And that god is me."
I closed my eyes, today I know many things, be it my past or about this world...
"Welcome to Heaven Realm, senior Zone.." I heard a greeting from behind me, and I turned around.
A man of tom's height standing behind him, he came with a young man of the same stature as me. Both were covered in huge flames...
Damn, who are they? Their pressure was terrible to pressure me...
"Ah, sorry if I say hello without introducing myself.." the big man bowed slightly, "My name is Therion, my title is God of Vengeance..."
"My name is Xiefan, junior salutes the strongest senior.." the younger-faced man bowed his body.
Wait-wait first! I know both!
"Are you not both white practitioners?"
Yes, from my memory, Therion was the strongest practitioner in the white stream, while Xiefan was his disciple. In the past war, Therion stood at the very front with Zien and the other white leader to fight the black currents that were messing with the South continent.
To be honest, I didn't know their faces, but somehow, I was able to tell both of them were practitioners that Zon knew just by name...
"Maybe it's a bit strange a newcomer like me to say this..." Therion cleared his throat slightly, "But I want Heaven to become a god, just like Ray."
"God of Hunter, isn't that interesting?" Xiefan stroked his clean chin without a beard, "How about, Shanjin?"
"Hmmm..." The God of Space Time closed his eyes as I glanced, "He is a Monarch, he must fulfill several things in order to become a god completely..."
"But now it depends on Heaven, whether he wants to become a god or remain a Monarch..." The God of Space Time looked at me, "What did you choose?"
If I become a god, I will stay here like Therion and Xiefan, but if I choose to remain a Monarch, my power may be sealed...
I handed it over, I guess the forger that made the Black Flame Sword was not a human, but rather the God of Space Time...
The Eve that the Black Fire Sword released grew stronger, and I began to see that sword that was enveloped in something black...
"The sword is active and alive like any other living thing, but only you and the chosen humans can speak to it." God of Space Time returned my sword.
"Cold Blooded Hunter, come back to your world." I heard a heavy voice telling, and I saw Therion smiling broadly, "I didn't kick you out, it's just that the pressure outside the mortal world can't be held back for too long by a creature as obscure as you."
"You're a Monarch, aren't you? Go back to your world, there's where you really are.." added Therion, "Your world needs you more.." he patted me on the shoulder.
A moment after Therion patted me on the shoulder, I felt a strong pressure, before I floated in the dark sky...

The sky disappeared, and Therion sighed. Xiefan glanced at him while closing his eyes.
"Did you realize it?" shanjin asked and returned the book she had held, "That unique ability?"
"Yes." Yeah." Therion cleared his throat, "His weapon is indeed a mechanical weapon, but he is able to control his weapon -..."
"Not that one! But how could he control the hundreds of Emperors within his body! He was not even a necromancer capable of controlling death squads like Siegfried! An ordinary human body could not possibly do it!" The God of Space Time pulled his hair, "Don't you see him?!"
"As you said before, Heaven is no longer an ordinary man, but he is a Monarch. Who knows the Monarch's abilities, except the Monarch himself?" Xiefan closed his eyes, "I also find it hard to believe it..."
"Senior Ray controlled the seven legendary creatures as well as the legendary firebird spirit within him I had heard so many times, so I tried to appear ordinary to hear it..." Xiefan continued, "Senior Ray is not a Monarch, he can change destiny with his own hands..."
"I think the sky is like that too..." Xiefan turned around, before he walked, Therion heard him say something, "The kings are interesting indeed..."
***
Night sky...
"Yes..."
"This cold wind I missed even though I had only briefly left the earth." I floated down with my wings spread wide.
I feel weak after moving quickly from one world to this world, maybe because I'm not used to it?
One more thing, I still don't fully understand the meaning of the God of Space Time. I'm the Monarch? I am an existence that is hard to say human, hard to say god too?
If so, do I deserve to live here? If I die, where will I go?
I saw the land getting closer, and I closed my eyes...
Feels soothing...
I guess...
This is the real end of war...
Or maybe the beginning of everything?
