------ The Return --------
Guarding the walls and gate of a city stood two well built men. Their domineering posture was evident of their strength. The walled city of Wuhei, was the capital of the newly founded empire of Songhai in the Emerald continent. 20 years ago, a single man set out on a journey to seize his world, and after countless battles and victories he founded a new nation that could be regarded as the new superpower of Emerald continent.
The founder is known as the great master of chains. He wields countless iron chains, like spider webs, that reside within his body. He went round the Emerald continent conquering each tribal national on his path. He is rumored to be the strongest person to have ever been born to the Emerald continent.
Along the road that leads to the walled city of Wuhei, a silhouette of a young man could be seen from a distance. The young man had a charismatic walk to him, almost as if the heavens and the earth were under his domain. His charisma was betrayed by his current appearance. His attire was worn out and hugely disfigured. After about a minute, the appearance of the young man could be made out.
"Prince Woyin" One of the guards yelled.
Suddenly both guards dropped their right knee to the ground, in a posture of absolute respect. Woyin casually walked over to them, and tapped the left shoulder of the guard to his right.
"Doye have you forgotten that they are no royalties in this kingdom." Woyin said in a reprehensive manner.
"Did my father notice I was gone?" Woyin asked with a distressed look on his face.
"My prince, you have been away for a month and half. Even the dead would notice your absence." The guard responded.
After hearing that, Woyin continued walking towards the palace. He was a bit troubled because he did not know what to expect of his father, the king. In his view, his father was an odd character which even him, his son, could not understand. His father, had the temper of tiger and the compassion of water. A rather odd individual that always seemed to do whatever he wanted without any thought of the consequences.
Woyin casually strolled to the entrance of the palace, his eyes were desperately scanning the entire place almost as if he was expecting something to happen.

"Woyin" An angry voice called out.
"Where have you been for the past month" The voice continued and increased in intensity.
"Father, I am a man now.... " Woyin was saying, before he was interrupted by a shooting sickle connected to a chain.
With quick reflexes, he was able to draw his blade and deflect the chain attack.
"You think you are a man just because you have bedded some women? " responded while casually walking towards Woyin.
"I am going to test your manhood" He continued.
While this affair was transpiring, none of the guards seemed to pay any attention to them. This kind of father and son standoff was pretty regular in the palace.
"Don't worry father, I won't disappoint you this time around" Woyin responded with a smile on his face.
"Oh is that so. Let me see how much you've grown" the king responded, while simultaneously sending three sickled chains to attack Woyin.
With an overconfident smile Woyin casually walked pass the chains. This was no ordinary movement, Woyin used his divine walk, a skill he discovered he could use after his contract with the divine beast, to accurately dodge the attacks while moving forward.
"Oh.." the king said with a hint of surprise on his face. This facial expression quickly turned to smile.
"Devine contract" he said while smiling.
"I guess I'll take it up a notch" he continued.
After the king uttered those words, countless chains appeared out of his abdominal region, and started dangling in mid air. The chains seemed endless and unrestrained. The king had the face of a beast that was about to devour his prey.
