In Red Lightning City, in one of the houses near the headquarters, a young man of about 18 years old, whose black hair was starting to grow, held his forehead in pain. His house was much bigger and more comfortable than the others, which made it obvious that he was someone much more important.
Jace's black hair was tied behind his back. Jace closed his eyes and continued to hold his forehead in pain. The pain at the head of the bed had gotten much worse in 8 years.
Just then Lena came in. She was holding white flowers and her face was much more beautiful after her mental training with Kaizer. Her skin had brightened and her complexion was smooth. Her blue hair was lighter and her gaze could make a person's heart stop. Her current beauty was unique in Red Lightning City.
The moment Lena saw Jace, she put the flowers on the table and went to Jace. She was worried. She was about to reach out to Jace when Jace blocked her with his hand.
"It's the death mark again. You know it's nothing.
Even though Jace said that he was thrashing around on the bed in pain. The pain was too much and the skull mark popped up again to remind Jace.
By inflicting one of the greatest pains.
"You say that but it gets worse every year Jace, 8 years ago the day you took the mark from your father, and today. 8 times. Every year it gets worse. How long do you think you can keep this up?"
Lena was worried. As time passed, the chaos caused by the death mark continued. 8 years ago, James Quill's green lightning ability had been passed down to his son, Jace Quill, changing his green lightning ability. As each year passed, Jace woke up in greater pain. He experienced this pain every week.
Lena approached and touched Jace's cheek with her hand.
"Me and Orion can rid you of this curse, Jace. With patch energy and pure healing, we can remove the death mark."
Even Lena's words didn't change Jace's mood. Jace hadn't been in a hopeful mood, and from the look in his eyes, Lena knew what she needed to understand. But she prayed that she had misunderstood, but Jace still looked at her the same way. Lena suddenly pulled back. Her eyes widened in disbelief.
"Are you really going to do this?"
"The death mark increases my power too much, Lena. If I can at least get that power under my control-"
" Nonsense! The Death Mark was born out of chaos. It's completely unfortunate that the Quill household even has it! You should be thinking about destroying it instead of trying to control it!!!"
Jace shook his head from side to side and removed his hand from his forehead. The skull mark glowed with black spots and Lena took a step back because of the aura emanating from it.
"This is why they killed my family, Lena. Because they feared the power of that mark. If I can do what our family members couldn't and control this mark... Then maybe I can protect someone."

SLAAPSS!!!
Jace didn't know what to do when he was suddenly slapped across the face. He turned his head back to see Lena's full eyes staring back at him.
"Look around!!! Do you see anyone that needs your help?!?! They're good, Jace!!! You want to be bad so they can be good... But what if you can't control the Death Trace..."
Lena's last words sent Jace into a reverie, but nothing he thought had changed. He was still sure and you could see it when he turned his eyes back to Lena.
"I have made my decision Lena.... "
Jace's words ended the conversation. Lena didn't say anything more and after looking at Jace angrily, she turned her head and slammed the door. She left behind someone who wanted to be king of the mortals.

The legends of the Red Lightning Academy (except Jace), some emperors, and 6 others made their way to the meeting area. Although everyone was moving at an incredible speed, the Legends and Emperors were moving a little slower. That was because the other 6 people were only slightly slower than them.
Jack was at the peak of Orange Lightning. Kevin was at the start of Red Lightning. John was at the start of Red Lightning. Emma was at the top of the middle of Orange Lightning. Sarah had managed to become a Bow Lord and was at the beginning of the middle of Red Lightning. Melony had just moved to Red Lightning thanks to Rosa. Even though Emma was the weakest of the group, she was able to keep up with the others thanks to Yue's Stone. Physically.
When the group arrived at the center of Sky Island, they began to look around. There were people from many different communities here. People from every academy were here, but none of them were attacking each other. On the contrary, they were looking at each other and trying to scare each other.
Large trees had taken root in the center of Heavenly Land. Small springs of water flowed, and the only building in this vegetated area was a 3-meter-high apartment building. Although the building was short, it was long enough for the remaining 80 academy leaders. By this time, the other academies had been destroyed, and only the strongest academies remained. The 6 youths stayed outside and the legends went in with the emperors.
As soon as they entered, the other 79 Legendary Leaders and Legends moved. The last person had arrived, and the last person to arrive was one of the powerful academies with an expert in Purple Lightning.
Alan sat in his seat and looked at everyone. He wanted to see if anyone had made a breakthrough, but he also wanted to understand what kind of thoughts were in their eyes.
As Alan looked around, he noticed the anger on the face of Miguel, the legendary leader of the Red Orb Academy. Although he frowned at it, he didn't let it go and brought up the subject. After all, he was the subject of this meeting.
"Yes, I'm glad to see you all here, I know you all want to know what we're going to talk about, so I'll make a quick introduction."
Alan turned to face Alvar and Zaheer.
"Bring them in." Alvar and Zaheer nodded and quickly left the building and under the strange looks of the other people they took a 2-meter-long body bag and threw it on the table in the building.
Alan shifted his eyes again and looked around.
People seemed to be trying to figure out what this was all about.
"Who wants to open it and find out what our meeting is about?"
Alan's words sounded like a challenge, but no one was afraid of him. The person with the least power here was Half-Step Purple Lightning, and the most powerful person had long since gone to the center of Purple Lightning. That person was, of course, Ramas, the legendary leader of Dakion Academy.
Ramas was brave and had no fear of Alan. He had 3 legends with him, and all 3 of them had stern looks and different thoughts as they looked at the Red Lightning Academy. They had been badly injured in their fight with Kai and had slept for a long time. After all, not all of them had a Heart Path Guardian like Kai.
However, they all managed to recover and returned to the battle. Only Monari had a bit of a headache at night when the moon came out due to the moon's sword breaking. Now, each of them was a half-step Purple Lightning, and only one of them could kill a Legendary Leader.
Ramas stood up and motioned to Ivan. Ivan stepped forward and brought the body bag closer to Ramas, but the change in his face as he carried it was for all to see.
Still, Ivan said nothing to anyone and waited. Ramas put his hand in the zipper and one movement he revealed the body.
The corpse's face was white and its eyes were closed. But the lack of teeth in his mouth and his sullen expression showed that he had lost in a fight.
But no one cared about that. Someone was standing here and had not turned to dust. Alan, across from them, seemed to know everything.
Ramas frowned and sat down. His gaze wandered to Alan's dark eyes and handsome face, but it was clear that Ramas wasn't the only one who looked at Alan with surprise.
Mario the Haircutter was a young man with white hair and white eyes, but his gaze was sharp and threatening. He, too, had crossed over to the Beginning Center of Purple Lightning.
"What's going on, Alan?"
