Two years have passed since King Lation's army attacked Kronen head on.

But even in their retreat Cryptos still continues the war against Kronen.

But today the war grows ever closer to it's climax.

The research that Hollow has been performing for most of his life has finally came to an end.

And so that brings us the home of the royal family, Kurai castle

In which the queen is no where to be seen but the king, the king was leading the creation of his new five man army.

King Darkus stood unshakeable as he welcomed Hollow into his home.

"So you have chosen four candidates for my experiment?" Hollow brushed his fingers against the chilling stone wall.

"I have four warriors of exceptional strength, four warriors capable of replacing Zanshi and Bjorn and even matching the might of the warrior twins" Darkus claimed without any trace of doubt.

The four candidates walked into the hall, awaiting their judgement.

Of course Hollow had created a subject for this very day, knowing he would be selected Hollow only had three to judge.

"Who are they?, I don't recognise anyone except the abuser" Hollow questioned the king's judgement.

As all he could see were weaklings, nobodies, a waste of his time.

"I see you have no respect for them, well let me introduce you starting with the zeon known as the god of adaptation's mimic".

The three judged warriors stood silent having been set upon the king's gaze.

"You know of the second zeon to have gained the title Kronen god, well Aquarius seeks to become him and this is the only way he can, so he is here to test the limits of your enhancement" King Darkus continued.

"Oh trust me I have no doubts when it comes to my enhancement's limits" Hollow replied.

But the king paid him no attention as he continued to say "the remaining two are brothers raised to be merciless killers, trained to be the ultimate weapons, could you ask for better candidates to replace the Sasine brothers".

"Well we only get one chance at this my king, so if you have failed I'll take my experiments elsewhere" Hollow warned as he raised his hand, leading the way into a cramped box like room.

Uzunami lead the way.

With the remaining candidates trailing behind.

The door slammed shut...

And as Eon turned around in swift reaction he saw Hollow with a callous grin resting upon his face.

"So tell me what has the king told you about the power that is to be given to you all?" Hollow questioned as he appeared suddenly at Eon's side, his hand resting upon his shoulder.

Eon's brother Magma answered in his place "the king told us that we would gain a power to help us rival the warrior twins, a power which will let us gain the powers of other warriors".

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

"I mean your not entirely wrong..., so what do you say we get started" Hollow grasped a hold of a silver knife made of meteorite.

With the knife in hand Hollow carved a marking into all of their bodies without any consent.

Eon called Hollow out for his carelessness.

Without a care for their opinions Hollow took a hold of four glass tubes, each tube containing the blood of a legendary warrior.

Hollow went by each of the candidates paying no attention to their wines.

And as he passed each of them he poured one tube into the new carvings located on each of their bodies.

One legendary warrior for each unworthy candidate.

Hollow dropped his coat to the ground revealing the carving on his arm "as you can see I will also be gaining this power but don't worry all of it is almost done now".

"As of right now all of you have the mutation mark but we don't need basic warriors we need gods" Hollow activated a advanced technique.

Advanced techniques allow the user to infuse their energy into an area, lifeform or object to change reality either temporarily or permanently.

Thanks to their extreme power advanced techniques are as equally rare as they are impossible to make.

And with that in mind one can only wonder how Hollow learned this advanced technique.

The advanced technique universal energy supply: opening, a technique which allows the user to temporarily open the universe's supply of energy, allowing them to manipulate it.

"Everyone take hold of the energy now" Hollow commanded, his voice was one that could not be ignored.

Meaning that Hollow was in control, playing with the candidates, pulling their strings.

The candidates' bodies reacted to Hollow's command before they could think.

They grabbed hold of the tear in reality, all of them clenching it in their hands, including Hollow.

The five mutation gods were born!

Hollow manipulated the universe's energy into the mutation mark each of them possessed creating the enhancement known as the god mark.

A much stronger version of the mutation mark.

Which is immune to all types of energy disruption and also allows the user to power their god mark using the universe's energy instead of their own.

Uzunami looked upon his body feeling no different to how he did moments ago.

Although the same couldn't be said for Aquarius who had fell to his knees under the sudden pressure in which the universe's energy forced upon him.

"Heh I knew the king was wrong about you, just wanting the power doesn't mean you can handle it" Hollow took his interest to the two brothers of laous family.

Magma stood unwavering to his new strength, his body did not cave under the pressure, no it stood strong just like a pillar.

A pillar that sets the example of what all mutation gods should be like.

After all he was built to be one the most physically capable warriors on all of Kronen.

And as for Eon well he had already activated his new enhancement entering the form mutation activation.

And with it he morphing ten percent of his body into the slender god of wrath Mari.

"I'm impressed for two no bodies you sure have seemed to handle the god mark well, and you Uzunami I am proud to say my decade long project has finally come to it's conclusion" Hollow embraced them all as his eyes shined but they all knew of his horrific actions.

So with those in mind the brothers hoped to rid themselves of the monster as soon as possible.

"Brother for us to..." Eon was suddenly interrupted.

"Shut up brother I already know what your thinking so lets get this over with" Magma cracked his knuckles.

Hollow remained silent but his energy rippled throughout his body activating his own god mark.

But his genes they were like no other...

Their power was unmatched by anything previously shown.

Even Hollow was unaware to the power he now possesses.

He became almost god like.

Magma created a mirage of himself and as they both approached Hollow they suddenly ended up being choked by his hands.

The mirage faded in Hollow's hand, while Magma was in death's hands.

Eon teleported immediately hitting his chaos infused fist upon Hollow's skull.

But... It had no effect.

Hollow released Magma, dismissing him as a weak pawn to his serve his larger goals.

Aiming for his most recent attacker Hollow grabbed Eon's ankle.

Tossing him through the door leading into the king's home.

Without any warning Hollow appeared at Eon's side, almost as if he teleported.

Hollow dragged Eon up by his hair "now do you understand, I am in charge, I created your power and now I control you all, you do as I ask, your my experiments nothing more", tossing him to the floor Hollow left Darkus' home without speaking another word.

"I see that you've chosen your side Uzunami" Eon looked towards the abuser with hateful eyes.

"I haven't chosen my side as you say, I'm just not stupid enough to challenge the zeon who took this whole world under his control, and created such a power that even made you think that you could beat him in a fight" Uzunami took his leave.
