Chapter 10 - Chapter Ten: A Challenge

At the Dynasty of Menssai, Jace had just returned from a meeting he had with another kingdoms who were surrendering to him and joining his territory, he was really making huge progress, and becoming much more powerful.

Upon returning, Kolpa was waiting at the entrance to welcome him... "lord Jace, good work as always… and welcome back" ..… "well Kolpa, to tell you the truth it's no longer entertaining as it was the first days of my campaign to take the world… it's too easy, no one bothers to want to fight anymore… am seriously bored" said Jace with a disappointed tone… "well I know the lower life form known as human refusal to engage in warfare with you, and giving up willingly well greatly please your father" Kolpa replied trying to cheer up Jace as they make their way to the audience room… "sigh, you're right, that is the only good thing about all this… that my father rules this disguising world and set it straight" said Jace feeling much better… "speaking of your father, he has arrived, and he wants to see you" said Kolpa following closely behind Jace… "is that so? Well we shouldn't keep him waiting" said Jace as he burst open the audience room, then right there, before his eyes, sitting upon the throne with Demiurge by his side was Pluto, with the most intense aura and charisma oozing from him, Jace was stuck for some seconds by the greatness he was seeing according to him, he was in awe of Pluto, he soon regained his composure and made his way towards Pluto, with a bow he greeted his father… "father, it's been so long, it's so good to see you, I take it your research is going well as you have the time to come check on me" said Jace still bowing with his head on the floor, Pluto remained silent for awhile then a huge smile appeared on his face… "my heir… I've seen your accomplishment on my absences, I must say am truly impressed by your methods and results dear Jace, you first got the little nations around you to join you willingly and the ones that don't you crushed them, not even help from the three great powers of the world could save them… that was the main action that got the rest of the smaller nations to see that not even with help from the three powers can save them from your might… causing them to surrender willingly… very very impressive Jace" said Pluto with a truly impressed look on his face and tone … "am not worthy of such praises father, you are all I think about when I carry out my task, so it's really all thanks to you… my supreme god" Jace replied with a glow on his face… "it won't be long now until this world achieves enlightenment... now to the business of why I came to see you dear Jace, there have been some, development to try and stand in my way, implemented by the other gods… with how powerful you are now I don't think I need to inform you of what it is, you should have sense it yourself by now" said Pluto with a serious look in his eyes.. "yes father, I started having a strong sense of a shift in the world, I sensed someone else… not really sure if they're human, that can also manipulate soul energy like I can" said Jace while getting to his feet… "excellent… it looks like your wish has been granted my son, you won't be bored any longer, a very worthy opponent has appeared, and as he was sent by the gods themselves it would mean he isn't easy, so tread with caution Jace, do not underestimate him… those incompetent gods should not stand in my way, am I clear" said Pluto with a very serious tone, and his soul energy leaking out a little which caused the others in the room to stagger a little… "yes father… no matter who they send the outcome won't change… this world will be yours" Jace replied still feeling a little faint cause of Pluto's soul energy leak… "good… now Jace you've done some great work putting the smaller kingdoms in line and expanding my territory, but now with the new development, namely the appearance of that human sent by the gods, we cannot afford to delay any long" said Pluto while finally controlling his soul energy… "yes father, what do you have in mind" ..… "make preparations to start shaking up the great powers of the world…. or better still to make your decision easy I want you to weaken the Unified Nation of Warmark even more... then from there you take the entire nation" said Pluto with a smirk… "Warmark… am… am so sorry for my imprudence father, but will that be wise? Warmark is a military nation, yes they might be the most weakened among the three great powers currently but they are still formidable… they use something called technology that they feel will change the world forever… they have contraptions that I've never seen before and their offense and defense is the best among the three great powers… because of the prowess of their weapons, they don't have a lot of soldiers or knights, the ones available are only found in the castle, they mostly train some people called 'Slingers'… isn't it too early to go after Warmark, we need more time to really understand what we are dealing with" Jace argued with a nervous tone and a single sweat running down his cheek, Pluto stared blindly at Jace not saying a word nor showing any expression on his face, this reaction from Pluto only increased the deep fear Jace felt, and this time he can be seen visibly shaking… "{oh no… I've done it now, father is going to kill me}" said Jace in his thoughts with panic loading up within him… a minute of the intense stare which felt like days to Jace passed, and Pluto final spoke… "my dear son, that's the point, that's why I pick them to be the first you should try to conquer, they are the most powerful among the three great powers, and they have weapons that can't be far from describing as miracles, crushing them will send a huge message to the other great nations… believe in your father… plus my son, they are the most vulnerable nation among the three great powers, cause they are hated more by the masses, and almost ostracized, they will be easy pickings" Pluto stated with as much confidences and charisma as always… "lord Jace, you did say you were bored cause the other smaller nations give up too quickly for you, shouldn't this get you excited? You will finally get to show your might, you should be relishing this" Kolpa added trying to inspire Jace… "yes.. yes.. I did wanted more challenge… hmm… well as it's the will of my father, it shall be done" Jace stated still feeling a bit skeptical… "excellent, Demiurge will prepare as many Lost as you want, do take your time to be ready, you will be going up against Warmark after all, Demiurge will prepare as many Lost as you desire using his ability… but do make sure you don't waste too much time okay son" said Pluto with a huge smile on his face… "yes father… your will alone shall be done" Jace replied with his own smile then he and Kolpa stepped out of the room…

"Demiurge, did Jace and Kolpa seem closer to you too, or was it just me?" Pluto asked with a smile in the corner of his mouth... "oh sire it's not just you… those two have become inseparable since they trained together, with the way their relationship first stated this would have been crazy to predict… Kolpa has grow to have a lot of respect for Jace and very protective of him, and Jace also take Kolpa very seriously with advice and strength, he doesn't make decisions unless Kolpa assure him it's the right move… they are both truly alike… I can't help but feel a little bit left out sometimes (sigh)" Demiurge replied with a sigh… "(laughs heavily) am glad, those two will definitely make a good team, am glad I was right to entrust Kolpa with Jace" said Pluto still with a smile… "of course sire you are all knowing… speaking of Jace sire, would you do me the divine honor of sharing why you left out telling young master Jace that his brother was the one sent by the gods" asked Demiurge with a very curious tone… "well Demiurge I want to see Jace reaction upon seeing his brother or discovering that information himself, you and I both know the strong bond they had when they were together… I just want to test the convictions of my son, when he sees someone he cared so much about" Pluto replied while getting on his feet cause he was getting ready to leave… "yes your holiness, but Jace has your blood and divine energy flowing through him, he would no longer see him as a brother" said Demiurge with a skeptical tone… "yes but he still have those memories Demiurge, I couldn't lock those away, cause I needed it to fuel his detestation of the world to work with my plans… those gods knew what they were doing when they picked to reincarnate the brother of my son (laughs) would be very interesting to see, can't wait till those two meet (laughs again) the progress of my current plans hinders on the reaction and decision of Jace when he meets his brother" ..… "so we should just wait and see sire?" ..… "for now yes, but do not fret, Jace is my son and he will never waiver even if they bring back his earthly father (smiles) of that I am extremely sure of, that child is so worthy (making his way to the middle of the room) Demiurge do continue to keep an eye on Jace and Kolpa, Kolpa is a brave and loyal subordinate, but he tends to be very impulsive, don't want that rubbing off on Jace… and please do keep them out of trouble" said Pluto while he rips open the fabric of space and stepped in… "as always your holiness, your will shall be done" Demiurge replied with a bow as the tear stated closing up and Pluto disappeared with it.
