Indra gathered energy particles before him, condensed it into an orb, and crushed it with his hands.

The crushed particles soon gathered around his arm and formed a glove on his hand.

Turning slightly and bending his knees, he faced the oncoming beam and raised his hand towards it.

'Whoosh'

Instead of blasting right through him or launching him several miles away, the glove absorbed the beam rapidly and within seconds, it vanished.

However, moments after vanishing, it started to reappear in his arms, twice the size Zenith had shot towards him.

"How.. haa..haa..is this...haa..possible? There was no..haa..way...haa…you could.."

Zenith's eyes widened in surprise. His face turned pale, depleting the last of his energy reserves.

He finally understood why this man wanted to have a friendly conversation instead of fighting.

He realized that this is what would have led to no matter how much strength Zenith displayed.

It was finally over and for the first time in his life, he had tasted his first defeat.

He released his ultimate form and spread his arms towards Indra, ready to take the beam head on.

"Now it's my turn, Cosmic Emulation."

Zenith stayed still as he watched Indra deflect his own beam back at him.

Closing his eyes with a smile, he readied himself to take the beam head on.

'Kaboom'

The moment he thought it was all over for him, he suddenly heard a massive explosion behind him.

He immediately turned around to see another moon similar to the one they were obliterated instantly.

Avoiding the debris that was falling at him Zenith asked,

"But why? I thought you were going to use your final attack one me?"

"I said I would use my final attack, I never specifically said I would use it on you did I? Besides, what would I benefit from killing you? You do not seem like a bad person. You're just a battle maniac to me."

Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.

Hearing his words, Zenith started to laugh hysterically.

He had seen people fear him, stay away from him and even hate him.

But just when he thought that only one person in his life had truly recognized him, there was now another person who acknowledged him for his character. Not for his power.

"Thank you Indra, thanks a lot. Well, you won fair and square so I will do whatever I can to help you out."

Hearing his words, Indra smiled and nodded back. Fighting this battle maniac, turned out better than he hoped it to be.

"By the way, what help do you need from me?"

Indra then explained, how he was sucked in by a portal, trapped within a neutron star, and how he got out of the star and finally met him.

After hearing the event that had transpired, Zenith looked at him in horror.

Not only was going near a star the same akin to suicide, but being trapped in and coming out alive?

Though it seemed unbelievable, considering the circumstances he was in, he was sure that Indra was telling him the truth.

"Man, you have been through some crazy stuff! As a person who trained all his life, even with all my might, I would never have been to come close to it. How the hell did you survive that?!"

"I do not know. Like I said, when I woke up I was already trapped inside that star. Now, I need to get back to my home planet called Earth. Do you know how to get there?"

"I do actually. In fact my master and I visited that planet ten years ago, to fight against the strongest warriors from that planet." Zenith replied.

This time it was Indra's turn to be surprised. He never thought people or other living entities would know about earth, let alone visit it.

When he was on earth previously, he had only fought with or against his own kind but never with other-worlders.

Nor have any otherworlders step foot on Earth. Not until recently.

"We first need to go to another place called the Draconian Planet, home to most of the dragon species. There is a crystal call the Amethyst crystal, which grows once every thousand years. With one stone you can travel to almost any known part of the universe and back.

As long as you have the coordinates that is. However, it can be used only three times, and after that, another thousand years."

"Do you know how to get there? You've never been there either."

"Don't worry about that, my old man gave me the coordinates to the planet. It's closer to my home planet."

Indra who listening to Zenith, was amazed. To think such a planet and such a crystal existed in this vast universe.

Maybe one day, after defeating Damon and his Dark Wolf Faction, he would finally be free from his past and venture throughout the universe.

"Wait, how strong are those dragons?"

Indra asked, making sure that they would not be entering without sufficient strength.

"I have never been there before, but my master once needed this crystal, so he decided to visit Draconian planet. He told me that the dragons that lived on the surface weren't too dangerous. Still, the ones which lived deep within the mountains were considered terrifying existences. It all depends on where the crystal grows. My master was lucky, he was able find one on the surface."

While healing Zenith's injuries, Indra knew he had to prepare and take counter measures.

Although he was strong, he wanted to stabilize his strength and solidify his foundation.

He did not want to risk both his and Zenith's lives.

Indra also found out that the crystal would be fully grown in another five years.

Remaining on moon Azeroth, the duo decided to further train for their upcoming journey.

'My friends, I hope you are safe. Please hang on for a bit longer, for when I return, Daemon and his faction will be no more. This, is my solemn promise to you.'
