Chapter 15
--------------------
The following day, news of Omnilocks action was spreading like a wildfire. No nation, county, sect, or tribe wasn't aware of the actions of Omnilock. The most shocking of them all was the fact that Omnilock attacked the Orc race during the daytime for everyone to watch. No one, except for a handful of dynasties, has ever single-handedly orchestrated war on a galactic scale! Now, Omnilock has made history! They were now recognized as the 5th greatest war heroes across the whole GALAXY!
The most perplexing thing is that Omnilock performed such a grand scaled war due to an attack on a student? Who would believe that attacking a mere student of a school would result in such dire consequences? Nevertheless, no one dared to show their heads in opposition to Omnilock.
Even some elders from various sects made announcements banning their students, and staff members from troubling Omnilock school. Even some kings of various dynasties sent orders to their envoys and other officials, strongly warning them against making trouble for Omnilock.

In the planetary system of the white sun, Julia. There was a super planet called Shekinna. Shekinna is one of the many 10 planets that revolve around the white sun, Julia. It was very large and beautiful. Filled with millions of races, this planet was a near-perfect paradise for any race. Almost all sorts of resources could be found here; gold, silver, platinum, Vibranium, Alloy, steel, and more. Even beautiful precious stones such as Jasper, Sapphire, Rubies, and more were in abundance on this planet. It can be said that Shekinna was one planet that barely lacked any resources.
That being said, it was on this planet where the most powerful, and authoritative sects, dynasties, clans, and more reigned. It was also the place where the big companies like the Galactic commerce chambers were located. Even the Universal Court was established on this beautiful planet!
Inside Shekinna, there were trillions upon trillions of races. Obviously, this is all thanks to the natural resources native to the planet. Now, the Universal court was located in a city-state called the Universal Palace. This is where everything in the universe is decided. Everything from the universal laws passed by the Universal judges, to the universal mandates decreed from the Creator Himself or Judas.
That being said, this was one place where law and order were strictly enforced. Here, kings, queens, and sect masters, and even clan masters are regarded as normal. This is one place where the affairs of the outside world have no influence. However, every word that comes out of this place can decide the fate of literally any, and everything created within the universe.
The Universal Palace is extremely beautiful. Thanks to the natural terrain, this megapolis looks even more precious to behold. In here, the roads are made of the most uniquely picked out rocks and stones that were mined. The houses all state of the art designs, each different from the other. Although many wealthy people may wish to inhabit these houses, they were only given to the families of the universal judges. No one else was allowed to enter here, not even the merchants were allowed to sell their goods here.
These houses and properties were called estates, and each of them was named after the universal judge it belonged to. After these estates, the Universal court was located in the very middle. On each side of it, some roads acted as natural dividers to evenly divide the 7 estates which belonged to the universal judges.
---
The universal court, Universal Palace.
Inside the Universal court, There was a podium on which the 7 universal judges were seated on their thrones. None of the universal judges seemed happy as there was a fight going on. Each judge had expressed their concerns on the brazen character Omnilock displayed some days ago.
On the podium, each throne faced the other as they formed a circle. Now, Tyron, the Dragon ancestor, was very angry. For the first time in a long while, there had been very few people brave enough to ridicule him. Now, not too long ago, serious rumors were flying around that members of Omnilock ridiculed him as they thought so little of him and his prestige. Obviously, once word came to Tyron, he was very displeased by this.
As a member of the 3rd member of the court, Tyron was third only to Sarah, the Hades Ancestor Demon Judge, and Almata, the Universal Titan Angel Monarch.
"Look, Almata, how can we sit still and watch these scoundrels act so lawless? Who do they think they are to kill the Orc race on such a grand scale? From the report sent to me, they killed almost more than 97% of the whole Orcs race! They almost wiped out a WHOLE race because of a student! We must let them know that there is still law and order in the universe, and they are no exception." Tyron said as he was filled with rage.
"HAHA...Tyron, do you think I am really without knowledge? Why do you discern the grey hair on my head?" Amlata said teasingly as he looked at Tyron.
"Do you really think I am stupid enough to not know the reason for your anger? I mean, after so many years, I know you well enough to know that your prestige and face are one of the only things you truly care about. In this case, you only care about your face. The little children mocked you and you are mad because you lost face to them. HAHAHA, grow up please" Almata said to Tyron as laughed heartily.
Seeing this, Tyron clenched his fist tightly as though he was a predator looking at his prey.
Seeing the underlying tension between the two, Sarah, the Hades ancestor Demon judge chimed in.``Would you all cut it out and start behaving like men of valuable substance? Your behaviors really betray everything the court stands for, seriously" Sarah said with a hint of disgust in her voice.
Adam, on the other hand, was seated to the left of Sephirah, the female ancestor of the Phoenix race. Adam was the ancestor of the human race. Although, on many planets across the galaxy, the human race has always been looked down upon. However, they have always found a way to overcome and develop.
Adam was taller than the average god. As a human, he was considered to be very handsome. With brown eyes and pearly white teeth, Adam never lacked the looks females often desired. He had a well-defined athletic build; not too muscular, and not too skinny. He was just the right mix of both athleticism and flexibility. He wore a brown leather overcoat and a well-fashioned white suit underneath.
Upon hearing the thoughts of his colleagues, he took some time to absorb the whole situation at hand.
"Ah, I got it. Why don't we do this? Since Omnilock has not violated any laws yet, let us go and warn them in the presence of everyone. This way, people will be relieved to know that we have this matter at heart. If we do not respond, of what message do we send the universe? Wouldn't people say all sorts of jargons about us? Wouldn't they think it okay to kill and plunder as they wish? Unlike others, Omnilock seemed to not lack resources because if they did, they would have stolen all sorts of magical equipment and treasures from the Orcs race. To my great surprise, they didn't and for this, I respect them to some level." Adam said as he stroked his beards.
"Please, remember, the universe is watching us. If we do not act, someone will eventually. The ball is now in our possession, let us play well to score. If we miss this one, there is no telling how the Universe will react." Adam said once more.
After hearing Adam's suggestion, "Hmmm...Adam, you may seem to be wise, but in this case, I am afraid it is not going to be that easy to solve. Sun Wukain, Sephirah, what do you think of this matter? What do you think we should do?" Almata asked.
Seraphirah, who was wearing a tight slim-fit red and gold phoenix attire. She had warm orange eyes with a touch of red in them. In response to Almata, she calmly looked up at him and said no as she then turned to look at Sun Wukain who wasn't too far from her.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
As they all focused on Sun Wukain, she finally opened her mouth and spoke, "Although I have nothing to say, I am simply impressed by the martial art techniques used by Darius. That being said, I suggest we go warn them quickly. I want to have a closer look at who this person is. Maybe I will finally find a worthy opponent in martial arts!" She said as a fiery aura emitted from her eyes.
Not waiting for an invitation of speech, Zoro, the master of elements quickly expressed his own opinion. "Oh, I know! Why don't we seek the counsel of the elder gods? Why not ask his majesty for advice? After all, they are all the children of the Creator. Things like this should just be child's play for them. More so, a stretch of the legs to be honest" Zoro said with joy and optimism written all over his face.
"Just letting you know now, that is not happening Zoro. Nice try though, you almost got my support on that one." Sarah says jokingly.
"Alright then, we leave tonight," Tyron said as he stood up from his throne and left the courtroom.
Following Tyron's lead, the others also got up and left one after another until only Almata was left.
After watching everyone leave, Almata had no other choice but to accept the decision made by the panel of judges. Helpless, he sighed deeply to himself as he too got up from his throne to prepare.
---
The following day, all the universal judges stepped out of their estates as they prepared to visit Omnilock. This time, they all came prepared. They all wore their best attires and prepared their mounts for departure.
Outside the estate, all the universal judges were ready on their mounts but one, Almata. Almata was still inside his estate as he took his time to debrief and instruct his angel subordinates and say farewell to his family. Surprisingly, this whole process took 45 minutes.
Impatient and restless, the other judges speedily grew tired of waiting. In anger, they all started to complain and murmur to themselves.
"Almata, what is taking you forever? I never knew male angels bore children now." Sun Wukain said angrily.
"Ohhh, Almata, look, I give you 5 more minutes to get ready. If not, don't blame me for bringing you out by force!" Tyron shouted impatiently.
"I'm coming, I'm coming, stop making a fuss. Look, now, I'm here, what are you going to do? Please, let's go" Almata said as he joined the panel of judges.
Shortly after, they all climbed their mounts and flew towards the nearby Omnilock quarters.
***
40 minutes,
The 7 universal judges finally arrived at the nearest Omnilock quarters to the Universal Palace.
Looking down, they couldn't believe their eyes. In their minds, they all expected Omnilock to have small branches in deserted areas. However, it was nothing like they expected! This omnilock branch was a sub-quarter that was run by junior envoys. Contrary to popular belief, this branch looked like a thriving city! All around the branch were metropolitan houses, mansions, resorts, hotels, all sorts of merchant stores, and even entertainment grounds such as betting arenas! Everyone here looked happy and busy, each moving to and fro to various destinations.
Struck by shock and unbelief, the universal judges started to question the origin of Omnilock. After living for so many years, they all knew that great cities like this were only built by strong men. They would only be acting foolishly if they decided to ignore all of these hidden signs.
Not only that, the lowest house in this city was prestigious enough to compete with the houses in their estates! How shocking is this? Only extremely wealthy sects, clans, and dynasties can own such houses. Each house was made of the best materials money can buy! Just imagine it, and you would probably find it in one of these houses!
Filled with interest, the 7 universal judges decided to have a look around this city. To disguise themselves, they left their mounts in the closest city. Left with no other choice but to walk, they were greeted by well-fortified city walls and gates. Each brick used to make the walls were magic defensive stones. These stones are not cheap at all! Each stone could be sold for 1 Etherium which is the 4th highest currency in the whole galaxy!
Upon witnessing these things, the panel of universal judges started to really think twice about what they were about to do. Each of them knew very well that just by the presentation of Omnilock, their wealth and power may not be necessary under the Universal Palace. On its own, it may even be on par with someone the greatest civilizations ever built in terms of wealth.
On each side of the gates, there were barracks with at least teams of 30 puppet Orcs who acted as guards! Ah, how cruel and proud is Omnilock!
Unable to hold his discontent, Tyron finally broke the silence, "Ah! How wicked are these people? They are really pushing the line this time! See, they not only killed the Orcs, but they took the dead bodies and made them into puppets for security! How brazen is this? I don't know about you guys but we better hurry up and teach these idiots a lesson." Tyron warned sternly.
"You worry too much Tyron. Can I make a deal with you? I bet you, this promise. From the looks of things, Omnilock isn't just owned by one person. It is probably a union or cooperation of many sects and schools that came together secretly to make Omnilock what it is today. Although they may seem to be in one accord, I bet we will learn a thing or two about the big men behind this great city, Amilock." Adam replied with a carefree attitude.
"Alright, just watch and see. You and your useless bet will soon be proven wrong. Don't forget, I am a dragon, not only that, I am the ancestor of all dragons. It is very rare for my instincts to fail. If I am wrong, I would admit my mistakes and apologize to you. If you are wrong, you will become my handyman for 30 years. Do you dare to take this challenge?" Tyron said cunningly.
Filled with rage, Adam stumped heavily on the ground. BOOM! The whole city started to quake! Guards both visible and those who were hidden surrounded the Universal judges. The magic stones on the walls were activated which subsequently triggered its defensive mechanism. One by one, layers of white film emitted from the rocks. As the white film emitted, it connected together to make a huge semi-transparent forcefield which covered the whole city!
On top of the city walls, all sorts of weapons were revealed. Ranging from magical machine guns to blazing arrows ready to be launched at any time. Even archers who weren't present before could be seen all over the wall tops as they aimed at the panel of judges. As for the Orcs, they too were well prepared. Dressed in armor, each of them was armed as they lined up one after another to protect the city walls.
Shortly after, a voice rang out across the whole city, "Who are you? And why are you attacking Omnilock? Did you come to avenge the fallen Orcs? If so, we don't mind sending you on the road with them." The voice said.
Hearing the voice, the universal judges were filled with anger. However, they knew very well that they were in unknown territories so they had to behave themselves. After all, they did not come here to fight a war, but to warn Omnilock against its ways of settling disputes.
Not long after, two envoys clothed in white approached them as they rode on clouds. One of the envoys looked like a middle-aged man with a man bun and green eyes, The other had silver hair and silver eyes. Each of them looked like young wealthy emperors of ancient times. These two figures were none other than Darius and Dario.
Seeing these two high-ranking envoys, the people started to bow in reverence as though they had seen their rulers. Even the Orcs and soldiers couldn't help but slightly bow as the white cloud passed over them.
Looking at these two figures, the universal judges were shocked! From the attitude and reverence offered to them, the universal judges had no other option but to believe that Omnilock was run by the two of them alone! I mean, how powerful and wealthy must these two figures be?
"What a mighty display of arms, however, if you knew who you just detained, you would be on the ground begging for mercy," Zoro shouted as a fire started burning all over his body.
"I know who we've surrounded today. However, no one has detained you guys. Look around you, who is holding you? Has anyone put chains on you? Or has anyone attacked you yet?" Dario said calmly as he looked across the universal judges
Hearing this remark, Zoro tried his best to deter his anger. He did this because he knew he was watched by the ever-growing congregation who gathered around them.
"So, why then, do you say you are being detained? I haven't even ordered anyone to detain you, and you already accuse us of detaining you? So what would happen? War? Or an excuse to punish Omnilock?" Dario guessed aloud.
"Anyway, I am grateful for the congregation around us, who bear witness to your lies today. Hopefully, you won't deny it when things go left." Dario continued as he looked straight into Zoro's eyes.
"How brazen, how dare this infidel talk to me in such a manner? Do you know who you are talking to, young man!"
Ignoring Zoro, Darius continued with his questions.
"Anyways, please, can you kindly state your reason for coming here today? I mean, it is extremely uncommon for Omnilock to be visited by high figures. Even so, we were visited by the 7 universal judges themselves." Darius said as he announced aloud.
Upon hearing the words of Darius, the whole congregation who were watching from a distance were taken in surprise. Never in their wildest dreams would they imagine that the 7 universal judges themselves would leave the Universal palace and come to visit Omnilock's sub-quarters! These words caused an uproar. As time passed, news quickly filled the whole planet of Shekinna.
Over time, more and more people started joining the crowd. Even prestigious figures who were forgotten in the history of time watched from afar in the mountains nearby. Ancestors, Patriarchs, Senior Elders, Elders, Clan Leaders, Prince & Princess, Counts[Earl] & Countesses, Viscounts & Viscountessess, Dukes & Duchesses, Marquesses & Marchionesses, Warriors, and Civilians were all present as they watched the whole situation boil down. Everyone was aware of Omnilock's prestige, so they were even more intrigued to see first-hand how the Universal judges would handle this matter.
Seeing the ever-growing spectators, both Darius and Dario were happy. They knew that if they played things right, the Universal judges would lose face and the consequences therein would be disastrous for them.
"We came here to officially warm Omnilock. We have heard of your actions, and it has raised serious alarms across the galaxy. Who do you think you are to kill a whole race?! 97% of all the Orcs across the whole galaxy fell in your hands! That is the highest killing record since the last millennium! Then, laws were not enforced well. Now, it is, and you are not above the laws of this universe!" Almata warned sternly.
"At once, go home! We are not your enemies, neither do we have any business with you guys! We were provoked and fought back. What is too hard to understand in this. These are the laws of war, the winner gets to tell the tale. And the winner takes it all! The Orc race now belongs to Omnilock! They are our war trophies along with all their lands and properties! Let this serve as a warning to the WHOLE galaxy!
As for you, the Universal court, do not let us disgrace you. We have already said it once, and we will not say it again. WE ARE NOT YOUR ENEMIES! Leave us alone! If it's a war you want, that would depend on your own ability. Now, kindly get out of our territory. Lest we take this attack launched by Adam as a war offense!" Darius warned sternly.
Without giving the universal judges a chance to speak, Darius and Dario commanded the Orcs and soldiers to escort the universal out of Amilock city.
"Please, escort our uninvited guest out of the city. We have nothing to do with them anymore. Any other action would be seen as an intentional act of war from the universal judges."
Watching the universal judges leave, someone from amongst them shouted out loud, "Don't worry, mark today's date. Today will be a day to remember!"
