In the middle of the night

Alista slowly opened his eyes and saw a large golden throne

He rubbed his eyes and saw the rainbow object standing over him

The rainbow objects shape began to shift into that of Alista's as it spoke to him

"Alista, get up"

His eyes widened as he heard his name and stood up almost instantly

"How do you know my name?!"

The rainbow Alista spoke up, his voice shook him to his core

"I know everything about you, I observed all of your memories. You are a loser. You weren't going to do anything of worth in your world, you would've rotted away in that bed until you died. I am giving you a future worthwhile, one that is worth living for. All you have to do is help me and I will help you"

he felt insulted by those words but he knew they weren't wrong.

"What do you need help with then"

The rainbow Alista approached him

"I want to help humanity, there are beings so evil they wouldn't hesitate to wipe humanity off the face of the universe. there are hundreds of such beings, I want you to kill all of them and wipe their souls out so they cant come back."

He touched his chin and thought for a second. "what if they're already here?"

"What if they're already here? what then?" 'He' looked at Alista

"Precisely 18 of them already are, we could see if we could enlist the help of the existing 'Good' Gods but I'd rather not. You need to gather the materials and meet the conditions needed to do the apotheosis ritual. Establish a nation, and set off into space. That is when I will be able to help you far beyond what I am currently able to, all you need is this sanctum we are currently in." 'He' waved his hand and revealed more of the sanctum. Alista looked around his surroundings seeing murals, dozens of statues that make the tallest mountains look small, the very cosmos themselves beyond large arched windows along with large golden cannons.

He looked back at 'Him'

"So where is this place?" he looked at the arched windows and saw the curvature of a barren, desert world

'He' spoke up

"it is in the solar system. but not at your current planet as you can see. That doesn't matter though. All you need to do is make it into space and it will begin to meet you. You need to find a way to get into space but with the current technology I'm not sure that is possible... you can either wait for technology to advance enough or I can begin to move it now at the cost of exposing it to the world and risking the Gods stealing it from us"

Alista remembered the space 'Gate'

"Could I see the space 'Gate' to get the sanctum?" 'He' looked at Alista

"No. the space 'Gate' is what you'll use for accessing space but traveling through it is impossible

He looked down in disappointment before responding to 'His' question

"I'll find a way to get into space" energy began to circulate around 'his' hand

"it is almost morning. you will wake up and begin your training with Uro all you need is mastery with the sword, but others are optional. don't worry about weapons or armor the sanctum has it all" 'He' waved his hand and Alista woke up in the bed sweating

knock... knock... knock... He leaned up and went to open the door. Alista opened the door and Uro was standing there about to knock again

Stolen novel; please report.

"Get your sword and lets go." He nodded before walking over to the sword and grabbed it. he sheathed it around his waist as he walked out of the room and with Uro to the field

After a couple minutes of walking he and Uro arrived at the field

"take out your sword and get into your stance, we'll start from there, then we'll start training"

Visions flashed into Alista's mind of someone with black armor, fighting another with white armor and felt it engrave itself to his mind

He instinctively felt his body take the same stance as the one in black

Uro's eyes flashed with surprise before brushing it off

"Good. now try to defend against this" Uro threw an ice spear and Alista cut it in half

"now use those 'Gates' of yours to defend against this" Tons of ice spears appeared around Alista and he used the mind 'Gate' to increase his thought speed

All of the ice spears flew towards him as he parried every single spear. "Now that's impressive! he has so much potential for someone who hasn't touched a sword in his life... hes gotta hiding something!"

Uro dashed towards Alista and slashed at him with his sword, He parried Uro's attack and retaliated with his own, nearly cutting Uro but he parried last second and began to emit an icy aura slowly freezing Alista's body, he used the Transmutation 'Gate' to altar his body to break out of the ice

"Thats something I haven't seen before..." He switched his strategy and conjured a blizzard blinding Alista! Alista once again altered his body and made the adjustments needed to see once again, he began to distort the space between him and Uro making them come face to face and then tilted him on his side as he slashed down at his stomach area.

"such a good use of his 'Gates'!" Alista conjured a tornado and swept up all of the ice and snow as he adjusted his body to be that of a giants. Increasing his power but lowering his speed and stopped Uro's time than began to thrust his sword towards him hitting him several times in the process. Uro broke through his stopped time and was met with injuries all over his body, as he instantly appeared in front of Alista with his sword at his throat before breaking out into a laugh.

"ha! that's enough for today! man that was fun!" Uro laughed and dematerialized his sword

Alista returned his body to his normal size and then sheathed his sword. "He has to have some kind of mental illness! No one can just switch emotions like this?!"

They walked out of the field and then Uro spoke

"I have a mission for you, I want you along with the Anhrams to search for a frost dragon. When y'all find the frost dragon I want you to carve out its heart. It will be rather big but if you do what you did back there? it will be easy for you!"

Alista nodded and then spoke up

"I'll do it as long as you tell me what you need the heart for"

Uro simply conjured an ethereal image of a large ice sword

"It's been one of my many dreams to have the powers of a frost dragon. Their abilities are vastly different, and work in a different way than normal ice 'Gate' powers. furthermore, their version of the ice 'Gate' also has a different name. Instead of Ice it's called Frostborn. Every species has different names for 'Gates' and some even have ability variations, like the dragons have more primal variations that are vastly stronger than all the other variations, but lack the control. It'll be just like fighting me but more... primal and a tiny bit weaker, I have no doubt y'all will be able to win."

Alista remembered the cannons from his 'Dream' and wanted to ask 'Him' if he could use them

"I'll do it."

Uro gently smiled at him

"if you're worried you wont get anything in return just know, you could use this to get more experience. You can even take a nice trophy for yourself like a nail, tooth, or even the whole wing! I wouldn't recommend that though the wings are insanely large." Uro paused before thinking and then spoke again

"You don't have to do this but if you aren't going to change your mind you'll be setting off at the crack of dawn tomorrow. The Anhrams will be waiting for you at the top of the castle, that's where you'll be setting off from, it's much faster than walking and it should take about a day to get to the mountains."

Uro patted Alista on the back

"I'll see you in about a week... or a month" He walked off leaving Alista alone in the palace hallways. "now I can ask 'Him' if I could use those cannons... how do I access that sanctum? I'll just try to think of accessing it and seeing if it works like that" He walked to his room and lied down on the bed thinking about accessing the sanctum to no avail so he decided to walk around his room for a little bit

"This isn't working... I'll ju-" He fell over and felt his mind relax as he awoke in the sanctum with 'Him' standing over him

Alista stood up awkwardly and tried to recover like nothing happened

"what do you want" 'He' responded with a somewhat amused voice

Alista pointed towards the cannons outside the windows

"can I use those? or would it be too risky"

'He' looked over at the cannons and back at him

"Yes, you can use those cannons the projectiles make no noise or emit any distortion in the spirit world so they're perfectly fine. I'll warn you that using these is like using a nuke"

Alista pondered over that fact and almost hesitated to actually use them, as it could've destroyed the dragon completely

"could a dragon survive it?"

'He' thought to himself

"It's a gamble... but it's about 50/50 depending on the dragon, but most could survive it"

Alista felt somewhat relieved by that but still a bit nervous
