“Lord Ning King Vulcanus is here.”

“I know i can sense him, the way he's releasing his energy i’d be surprised if there's a God in a Ten-thousand kilometer radius that couldn't sense him. By the way what did i tell you about addressing me with lord, Rodney.”

“You told me to drop the lord because there was no need for it.”

“And yet here we are ten years later and you're still calling me lord.”

“ If i remember correctly i also politely refused to address you as anything below lord and i expressed that you should perhaps have a more glorious title than lord.”

“We have had this conversation countless times over the years and i have yet to change your mind.”

“That is correct Lord Ning but it would be best if you could stop meditating Vulcanis is getting close and it would be a bit of a problem if he got to the castle. Also Stella has told you countless times to stop meditating on your throne it’s bad for your image.”

“Like i give a damn about my image, besides it’s a big chair not a throne and who cares if Vulcanus gets here he’s not strong enough to break through my barrier or do you doubt my strength.”

“He may not be able to break through your barrier but his aura is more than strong enough to frighten the children.”

“Hmm i suppose you're right.” Opening my eyes i got a good look at Rodney. Wearing his custom uniform as a butler he was an old man with trimmed gray hair and keen black eyes. I’d say the only thing that would betray the image was his bulging muscles and his long black wings that he currently had tucked behind his back.”

“It seems you are ready then.”

“Yes i suppose its about time.” Getting out of my chair i took a brief look at my surroundings. A golden hall made out of God grade adamantium it truly was a sight to see. At the end of the hall there was a giant door split in half that needed to be pushed to open. The door was easily ten thousands pounds. Walking to the door i easily opened it and walked outside.

“Be careful Lord Ning.” said Rodney as i walked out.

Glancing back i smiled “aren't i always.”

Leaving i glanced to my right where i felt the strongest energy ripples coming from. About a mile away there was a range of mountains and in another three miles there was a creature standing on top of a mountain.

In less than a second i jumped to the nearest mountain a mile away.Landing i looked up at the creature. A red furred four armed ape muscles so big i could probably see him without my enhanced eyesight stood on the mountain a mile away.

”Hello Vulcanus what do you need from me.”

“You bastard. You attacked my clan and you dear play innocent. Seven of my people are dead. Your life will not be anywhere near enough to compensate for theirs, but i will take it nonetheless.”

“If you don't recall you people attacked one of mine first. A twelve year old boy, when i found him he wasn't even dead, instead his very soul was burned to the core and he was left at deaths door. Your clan members were sick and you should be glad that i gave them the mercy of a quick death. Even if it was because i couldn't stand the sight of them.”

“Your boy was in my territory he got whatever he deserved.”

“Your territory? If i recall correctly that territory belonged to the red winged dragons one of my sworn allies.”

“Why do you think i wasn't there when you launched your cowardly attack? Your pathetic ally is dead, as you soon will be. And i spread my energy so that all the deities in the great plane of Immortals can see your death. The death of the self proclaimed strongest of all experts. Prepare to die Ning.”

So he wants all the gods to see my downfall huh. Well with the amount of presences watching i suppose he succeeded on the first part.

“Come at me ugly ape.”

“ROAR!”

He swung his arms down at me so fast that a sonic boom occurred and a giant wave of lava appeared and slammed towards me. Putting up a simple shield of energy around me all the lava passed harmlessly over me but before i could remove it i felt the lava being controlled and starting to squeeze my shield while lifting me up.

Removing my shield i pushed the wave of lava away from me by sending out my energy. Just in time to see two of his four arms slamming into me. Dodging them i spun and kicked my foot outwards at his chest. He blocked it by sacrificing his other two arms but the force was so strong that the mountain we stood on was destroyed and he flew through two other mountains before leaving a giant crater in the ground.

Standing up both of his arms were already healed. Flying out of the crater he had lava surrounding him that slowly turning black before compressing around his fist. His fist sent out shock waves so strong that nearby mountains were reduced to dust by just being near him.

“So that is your legendary secret art. The reason your regarded as one of the Ten Legends on this plane eh.”

“You're stronger than i thought but you proclaimed to surpass all the ten of the strongest greater Gods in this universe after only being alive less than a few centuries when you first got here. Prove it.”

With that he launched at me so fast that there was no sonic boom for sound was to slow for this beast.

Ready to meet him i had already compressed energy into my hand, but unlike his that sent shock waves in every direction mine were compressed and deadly. Then i launched at him with only a flicker as an indication that i had ever been there. A flicker that showed that that i had not only surpassed the speed of sound but the speed of light.

When our fist met the surrounding mountains all burst into dust, the ground shook violently and the sky itself parted. Saying Vulcanus died would be an understatement. His entire body was reduced to dust.

I felt the presences that were watching the battle recced. Whether it was due to them getting too close to the battle and being eradicated or because they had finally seen the end i don’t know.

Before i could foget i picked up Valcanus mana core and threw it into my pocket dimension.Looking around i could see the destruction our battle had caused. Lava is everywhere, mountains had crumbled to the ground and dust was everywhere.

With a sigh i formed a glowing sphere of energy in the palm of my hand. all the lava and broken mountains instantly started to fly towards the glowing ball. As soon as they reached the ball they would be sucked in and broken into nothing. In a couple minutes all the debris was sucked up. Making sure everything was straightened i flew back to the castle.
