Supreme Origin: Time King 227 XIX City Of Rivers

"So this is what he meant by fish" When he appeared at the destination Elijah stared at the skies in shock. Rivers and streams of water floated in the sky far away, forming a marvelous combination between the city and the countless fishes hovering over the land. What really surprised him was that all those fish really powerful, he guessed that all the mortals bellow the ninth realm stand no chance against him.

Just as he stepped out the formation, a voice coming from the structure around him transmitted a voice. "Welcome to Aeros. You are currently standing in the Drullem Cross right next to the Lenget Plaza. What do you wish to know?"

It took him a while looking at the others around him, normally travelers and merchant with their families until he realized each person was hearing the voice separately which mean those people could not hear what the voice spoke to him while himself had no idea about what they were hearing. Elijah was about to ask about the route he should take to Eternia when he heard a loud noise. 

The city looked pretty modern, countless silhouettes flying from one side to the other. Buildings constructed in way he could not even imagine as those figures in the sky grew clearer. Because flying was forbidden, shining trails world form in the air before this strange vehicle would use it to pass from one side to the other. They all had the same pale face, ink-black hair and greyish eyes that reminded him of a familiar face. While reminiscing the past, Elijah can't see a figure approaching and bumping into him.

"Ah, I'm sorry." Elijah waved his hand to apologize, but saw the figure staring at him with eyes full of hatred like he did something unforgivable. A dozen men suddenly appeared, surrounding him from all sides. This figure was wearing veils all over the body with only the eyes being revealed, beautiful grey eyes just like everyone else, however greyish-black mist would be seen wherever the figure moved.

The men were about to step forward when a voice left from behind the veil. "Leave him, we have no time. I must find a safe place first."

Those men could only nod before leaving with this figure toward one of the formations and vanishing into one of the spatial gates. This voice left Elijah kinda stunned, it had both the gentle and melodious of a woman and the bluntness of a man. A second later, he saw a small army of a hundred men that was not hard to see. 

With bright-red eyes, anyone could spot them even by countless light-years away. They passed by Elijah and headed to the same formation as the group from before and they certainly had any good intentions toward that figure he saw just before. This red-eyed people were all at the eight realm, they looked like people from the devil territory.

"Should I meddle into this?"  Elijah struggled before reaching a answer. It was better to follow his instincts and heart, if something happens so be it. It was better then betray oneself. Walking back he took a amount of Euva from his pocket and gave to the operator in the platform before walking into the gate.

He appeared in the middle of a forest, even without spiritual sense he could hear the steps of the hundred men on the ground and knew the direction they head for. If what he knew was right, he could guess what that figure was passing through. Midway from the source of the steps, he heard a loud bang coming from far away.

"Shit, the battle already started." Even without trinity or the origins he would not fear mere devils.  Increasing his speed, Elijah used the basis of the void steps to move faster even without his cultivation. Like this he could cover a lot more than just running by himself.

Jumping from one tree branch to the other Elijah quickly approached the battle and just like he thought the two groups were facing each other. The energy density in the area rapidly increased as a hundred fiery meteor fell from the sky causing a huge crater. Black smoke spread through the forest, a black-haired man raised his hand where a thin colorless hole in the fabric of reality would devour the incessant energy within meteors.

Suddenly, the leader of the small army, a man clad in blood red armor descended from above. His eyes were full of contempt seeing the black-haired man. "Julius, why keep defending those people. You should return to your own people and leave those matters to us."

"As I would. You are working with Yilk to help him become Gram's City lord. However this child in under my protection."

"Then let me see how powerful you have become." Burst forth with incredible force, two hands clashed together above all others. With the city lord's guards and those devil territory's people being just in the eight realm, those two were fully-flegded Demigods.  

Boom! The shockwaves from each of their moves washed over the forest, the beasts there lived ran away as the trees turned to dust. Seeing the lefel of devastation in their battle, Elijah kept hidden and massive force approach his direction  before it is dissipated by a strange force. If one observed carefully, they would see pieces of rock that when they came closer would age at incredible speeds before its particles world separate before returning to the ground.

 "Yohan!" Julius stopped for a moment and observed the situation. Most of his people were killed by the red-eyed cultivators. Then he stared at the figure in veil that tried to free from the middle-aged man clad in black behind. "Take your highness far away. Those people must be delayed."

The man nod with a sad look on his face. The city lord already died, they had no way out from this, but at least they wanted to make sure their master's child lives well.

That man saved his live so he should pay something of equal value. From now on, he would seal himself so he could give his friend's child enough time to escape. WIth a voice a loud as a thunder,  he yelled with full power. "Devil Heart Mantra Last Stage: Everlasting Devil God Seal!" 

Red light spread like fire and gathered into a red sun that radiated with immense sealing power, all the people marked as threats were sucked into a huge red sun that stood in the sky before everything calmed down.

The Middle-aged man hold back his tears and brought the figure away, however they failed to notice a single man managed to escape the seal and slashed with his huge sword toward the man, piercing his chest as a red energy attacked his void core.

Whooosh! The man turned into black smoke. It will take for him and all the others to regain their form. The void clan had many lives, but this was their weakness. The figure in veil tried to scream, but the man extended his arms forward with a evil grin on his face.

"Arg!"
