The God Of Power

Chapter 1: Prologue

Fire engulfed everything, with people screaming and running in panic. Destruction was rampant, as houses collapsed upon themselves due to the intense heat that melted even the metal foundations.

"It's a lava wolf!" shouted a random civilian, fleeing in the opposite direction of the wolf. The creature in question possessed black fur with a fiery outline, giant red eyes, razor-sharp claws, and a muscular chest protected by spiky black armor. It stood on two legs, unleashing fire across the kingdom.

"Oh no, I know this creature from before I dropped out of magic academy! It's a 12-dimensional dire wolf, the Lava Kingdom variant! Where are the Cronus? They're the only ones who have transcended to that level," another civilian yelled. Suddenly, a deafening boom resonated from the direction the civilian was running. As the smoke cleared, all they saw was devastation—a pile of dead bodies caught in the explosion, along with the house. They quickly turned and ran, desperate to avoid being near the monstrous sight.

The second creature was a massive black hawk, its giant red glowing eyes piercing the surroundings. It possessed razor-sharp claws, a muscular chest, and two enormous wings on its back. Towering over a castle, the hawk stood on two legs.

"Why is the black sky hawk from the 12th dimensions Lava Kingdom here too? Our Kingdom's repellent spell should have kept it far away," the first civilian shouted, attempting to avert their gaze and find safety.

"Look, it's the Cronus!" exclaimed a civilian, spotting a group of knights clad in black and gold armour with a time hourglass symbol on it, rushing towards the monsters. The leader and co-leader charged at the two beasts, unleashing 2 devastating fire wind tornadoes sending the beasts flying into each other as they fell to the ground, while the rest of the Cronus members launched energy spears, crippling the hawk's wings and the wolf's limbs, pinning them to the ground.

Then, footsteps echoed, and civilians and Cronus members alike kneeled as King Hiroshi Chikara approached the beasts, accompanied by Kaito Danzo. The Cronus members quickly guided the civilians to underground bunkers.

King Hiroshi was an elderly man with red, featureless eyes lacking visible irises or pupils. That possessed great power. He sported long grey hair and a neck-length beard. Adorning his head was a crown with a red jewel at its centre. He wore black and gold robes, emanating a hardened veteran aura. Standing tall at approximately 6 to 6.2 feet, he exuded authority.

Beside him walked Queen Amaya Chikara, a black-haired woman with an hourglass figure. She possessed a large bust around double D's, wearing black robes outlined with gold, along with leggings and golden high heels. She cradled three children in her hands, having given birth to them that night. This explained the delay in the Cronus and her family's arrival to protect the Kingdom. The king and his elite warriors the Cronus were at a fortified fortress where she gave birth to two princes and a princess. The Heirs and Heiress to the Kingdom.

"Prepare the sealing arrays. These beasts will aid in making my son and daughter stronger, allowing us to not only seek revenge on the orchestrator of this attack but also rule the dimensions with an iron fist," King Hiroshi declared, receiving nods of agreement from the Cronus members.

"It's too bad that whoever orchestrated this attack couldn't bring another 12-dimensional beast if he did all three of our kids could have a giant omni-energy boost," Amaya said as her husband agreed.

"No matter my wife, We will be grateful for what the 2 Boundless gods granted us." Hiroshi stated.

It took only a few minutes to complete the sealing array. "Lady Amaya, please place the children on the sealing array," the leader of the Cronus, a masked man, requested.

Amaya contemplated her decision. She decided that her younger children needed the power more. Her oldest child, Noboru, was born with a significant amount of omni energy, while the others possessed less. Now, there was a chance not only to strengthen them but also to transform them into weapons that would lead the Phoenix Kingdom into a new era, where it stood as the sole ruling kingdom. Moreover, Noboru was already strong enough to not be considered a failure, unlike the others.

Without hesitation, she placed the two younger siblings on the sealing array. Within seconds, Kaito Danzo, her husband's trusted sensei, sealed the power of the beasts inside her children, utilizing the omni energy converted to mana and a powerful Divine artefact he had found long ago called God's Hand which allowed him to sacrifice a large proportion of Omni Energy to grant any wish.

"By the power of the Divine Artefact God's Hand. I Kaito Danzo sacrifce half of Omni Energy to the god's to seal these Beasts inside of Kouki Chikara and Meiyo Chikara"

Symbols and runes appeared on her kids' bodies as the souls of the two beasts faded away. Seeing this Amaya dropped Noboru on the ground and rushed to her other two children, Kouki and Meiyo, their amplified omni energy surpassing that of Noboru, intensifying her love for the youngest ones.

"Look at them, they have become perfect. 12-dimensional beast hosts. With this power, the Quilin Kingdom, the Tortoise Kingdom no every single dimension will soon witness the might of the Phoenix Kingdom," she declared as the Royal family and their guards the Cronus departed. Noboru lay on the ground where Queen Amaya left him forgotten, and an old figure approached.

"I should have known that my son and daughter-in-law would do something horrendous like this. They are just power-hungry. Don't worry, little one, Grandpa's got you," said Haruki Chikara, Hiroshi's father and Noboru's grandfather.

Haruki Chikara was an elderly man with red, featureless eyes lacking visible irises or pupils. He sported long grey hair that was combed down and had a beard that covered his jaw ling with a pointed end. He wore black and gold robes with many gold chains. He was the former king and one of the strongest men in the world. He had transcended beyond the 12th dimension. He was ready to defeat the beasts but was also with his daughter-in-law and son watching his grandchildren's birth.

A week had passed since the attack; the land had begun to heal itself. This was a special ability the earth had gained after an event that had happened long ago. The Earth itself could, for some reason, scale down attacks from higher-dimensional beings that should have destroyed it but only scrapes it as if it were alive. It was a side effect of an event that occurred in the days Haruki's Grandfather was but a mere child. Civilians and magic knights were seen rebuilding. King Hiroshi and Queen Amaya were with Kaito Danzo, who had received a prophecy. You see, the Danzo Clan was a minor clan of the Pheonix Kingdom that could see the future. The visions he sees are not clear; although the events he foresees come true, he can't see clearly. So, he makes estimations based on the events he sees. For example, he can see the destruction of the kingdom but not who did it or why it happened.

"My student Hiroshi and Queen Amaya, I have seen that one of your children shall accomplish your dream. He or she shall become so powerful and make his or her power known across all realms and dimensions Higher and lower, ruling over all. We must keep him or her happy. I believe it is Kouki or Meiyo as they have ascended to the 12th dimension thanks to having a 12th-dimensional beast in them, while the other child does not," said Kaito Danzo.

"With all due respect, Lord Kaito of the honourable Danzo Clan, just being 12th-dimensional transcendent thanks to the beast sealed in them does not put Prince Kouki and Princess Meiyo on the level of a true 12th-dimensional transcendent. Their bodies, unlike ours, haven't been trained to harness it's power. They will be the weakest," the leader of the Cronus said.

"You are correct, but I am speaking of their potential. Right now, they have more potential than Hiroshi's other child who doesn't have a 12-dimensional beast's power sealed in him," said Kaito Danzo.

"I agree, Honey. Let's be honest; we both knew Noboru became worthless after his powers were dwarfed by his siblings when we sealed the beasts into them. As the eldest, he cannot be weaker than his younger siblings and be heir to the throne. I think we should consider disowning him," said Amaya.

"Well then, I can't deny that logic. On his 5th birthday, we will disown him. For now, we will have mercy. Anything else, Sensei?" asked Hiroshi.

"Yes, my student. The citizens have been unruly and angry. They have somehow found out that Meiyo and Kouki have the beasts sealed in them, and they might attack the kids, which might make the one destined to bring us greatness and eternal power over not just this world but every dimension, destroy us instead," stated Kaito Danzo.

Amaya and Hiroshi stood silent, as if contemplating. "So, Sensei, what do you suggest?" asked Hiroshi.

"I propose we say the soul of the beast is sealed in Noboru. After all, he might not be useful in terms of power, but he can be useful to the prophecy as a scapegoat," said Kaito Danzo, as the two parents thought about it.

"He's right, honey. We can't risk the prophecy, not when we are so close to having our dreams of ruling all of existence so close," Amaya said uncaringly. Her older son was now a true failure, and she harbored no love for those who are useless to her goals.

"Very well, I agree. As my queen said, we shall announce to the world that Kouki and Meiyo have the power, and Noboru has the soul," Hiroshi said, as a fireball shot just missing him.

"Are you kidding me? My son is this power-hungry that he would not just disown but also scapegoat and leave his own son to the wolves?" Haruki said, enraged, as he walked in. Kaito Danzo was scared as he had already stained his pants. After all, who wouldn't? This is Haruki Chikara, the first man to transcend to the 13th dimension, actually no, the only man to do so.

"Father, you have to understand it's for the good of the kingdom. If we do not do this, Kouki or Meiyo, or even both, may destroy the kingdom. I'm sorry, I have a duty to my kingdom over one kid," said Hiroshi.

"And you, Amaya, agree with this?" Haruki questioned.

"Yes, for our dreams, I would happily sacrifice my kids. You won't guilt trip me, father-in-law. Kaito Danzo will make a prophecy that paints Noboru as the cause and demon itself," Amaya coldly said.

"You know what, do what you want. But I'm telling you, Kaito Danzo, you, like your ancestors, are creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. You are going to lie about Noboru being the destroyer. It will be ironic if your false prophecy comes true," Haruki said, making Kaito Danzo glare.

"Enough, father. I won't let you insult my sensei," Hiroshi said, surprising Haruki, who looked at his son with disappointment. Not only is he sacrificing his son, but he is also disrespecting his father for his sensei.

"I see, I won't stop you, son. But when you disown Noboru, I will take him in. I will give him my personal wealth, and if you do anything to stop that, well then," Haruki says as he casts a spell.

"What did you do?" yelled Hiroshi.

"A simple Concept creation spell. If you take away my grandson Noboru's right to my wealth, the kingdom blows up," Haruki says, wishing he could have created a concept that would protect Noboru's right to the position of Prince, but he didn't have enough magic to do so. His magic was low and with so many people who will hate Noboru and want his grandson's position taken due to the lies that will be told Haruki's magic wouldn't last long enough to protect Noboru's inheritance as a prince but with few people after his personal wealth he had enough magic even after his death to protect Noboru since Concept manipulation on that level, at his old age, was too much. That's right, Haruki's spell created a new concept that if his wealth were given to anybody other than Noboru, it would not just blow up but also tear the kingdom apart. Except for Noboru, who wouldn't be affected by the explosion, everything and everyone would just blow up.
