Chapter 2 - The last Ether user

Somewhere in the Central prison of Mitera," Hey, kid, your detention is over."

A boy with long white hair walks out of prison, and as he walked out, the entire prison was in silence. People whispered, " How is he still calm after being tortured for 24 hours straight? Is he even human?"

A group of people was waiting outside the prison for the boy. The people started to look from afar and whisper, "Looks like Aeon was released, the elite 7 of the Union of Praedo are waiting outside."

One of them spoke, "Welcome back, our brave little justice," giggling

Aeon replied, "Your face is as ugly as ever, Alice," and smiled

"How dare you!" she slapped him right on the spot, but he giggled

The crowd just watched him and talked to themselves, "It's hopeless, no matter what the kid does, we cannot escape the Union."

Meanwhile, at the UNION TOWER, the current leader of the Union of Praedo was murdered.

A person was walking towards the throne of the Union with the previous leader's head in his hand; the lights were burnt instantly wherever he walked.

"One obstacle is gone, but it looks like there is another problem," he smiled while looking at the scene outside the central prison.

The emergency alarms turned on, alarming the entire Mitera

"What's going on? Why did the alarms turn on?"

"Did something happen to the current leader?!"

people whispered among themselves,

"Tch, looks like we got another problem, we will deal with you later!"

"Let's go, everyone!"

The elite 7 left, leaving Aeon alone at the gate of Central prison. People went back to their work and decided to ignore Aeon; instead of getting disappointed, he left with a smile and mumbled, "I don't know what happened, but I feel like things are gonna get interesting very soon."

The moment the elite 7 reached the union tower, they were greeted by a man sitting on the previous leader's throne, with the entire room's lights out.

"Welcome, my underlings."

The moment they saw the previous leader's head in his hand, they attacked him.

"How dare you kill lord Arthur!"

"I'll need you to work for me, so maybe you need to be disciplined!" The strange man started to beat them up mercilessly with just bare fists, which left the elites no option but to recognize him as the new leader, and instead of telling them his name, he told them to call him zero

"Now that things have calmed down a bit, tell me everything about that strange kid," He ordered them to tell him about Aeon.

They started explaining from the very beginning.

One day, during a raid on an unnamed planet, they found a strange mountain that was releasing a small amount of nuclear energy. But the weird thing was that the humans living on that planet were still using swords and bows to fight, and on top of that, they didn't even have supernatural powers. So curious, they investigated the mountain, and they found a strange lab where a child was swimming in a huge tube filled with carbon fuel. Somehow, the kid was alive without oxygen, as if he were one of the supreme species of the cosmos, which are known to be the most perfect beings of the universe. They decided to take the kid along with them, because they thought that the kid might have donum dei, but they later found out that the boy was ordinary, so they threw the kid into a pit of venomous snakes, but to their surprise, the snakes were dead. When they checked the reason for their death, they found out that the snakes came in contact with high radiation and met their end. After this incident, they decided to throw him into the slums, but after a few years, the kid caused chaos in one of the Union's factories. Thus began the start of the rebellion in the name of justice by a 15-year-old kid; slowly, his attacks increased. One day, the 18-year-old Aeon attacked the Union's tower. A few hours later, he was caught, detained, and tortured for 24 hours straight.

"Which leads us to now, the kid is free once again."

Zero froze for a second and asked the elites

"Did you all investigate the lab?"

The elites replied that the lab exploded the moment they took out the kid from the tube and was contaminated by extreme radiation, which left them no choice but to leave the planet, as there was nothing left to raid and the people were already taken into mitera.

Zero came up with a plan to get rid of Aeon. According to his research, Aeon attacked every factory that was newly built, and there was a factory that was about to be opened soon, so he decided to turn the entire factory into a ship.

"Gather every engineer and turn that factory into a ship! now!"

"and turn Mitera to the nearest galaxy possible!"

Just as expected, during the opening of the newly built factory, Aeon attacked it at night. But things suddenly turned, the factory suddenly started shaking, and then the entire factory broke apart, revealing that it was actually a spacecraft.

"Hey, look, something is leaving Mitera!"

The people noticed the spacecraft leaving Mitera.

"Hmm, looks like I was deceived." Aeon sighed and accepted the situation

"Let's see where it takes me."

While the ship was moving towards the moon, Aeon was rethinking his choices.

"Why am I putting my life in danger for people who never even cared for me?"

"I ate from others' leftovers when I was in the slums; they even called me filthy."

"But something in my heart says that one day, one day! I would be able to create perfect balance and justice in the cosmos!"

"There will even be a girl who will love me, and people who will let me express my emotions!"

While he was talking to himself, the spacecraft landed on a moon of a Gas giant.

"Hmm, it's a good thing I don't need oxygen to live." He said

Somehow, his lungs collect any amount of energy and extract oxygen from it, no matter how scarce the amount is. He decided to walk around the moon and investigate it.

Meanwhile, at The Union's tower

"Looks like we got rid of the pest!"

"Now let's head towards Dangear, the galaxy of dragon species!"

Meanwhile, on the moon

While walking around on the moon, he spotted a weird metal piece, but the moment he touched it, something triggered inside him. His eyes started to melt, and he emitted pure ether energy. His eyes were bleeding with the ether energy, but he remained calm as ever and thought to himself, "What is going on with me? Why are my eyes melting?"

Suddenly, something was happening to the moon; the entire ground was shaking, and the moon was breaking apart, exposing a spacecraft inside it. But for some reason, though his eyes melted, he could still see things, his vision was so clear that he could even see himself...........

wait........

"How am I able to see myself....."

Aeon was not a person who could see in 1st person anymore, but in 3rd person. He decided to look at himself; his eyes were no more, his eye sockets were like empty voids now. But something was bugging him out, "How in the world am I able to see?"

While he was wondering about his vision, he realized that this entire moon was a spacecraft, and he decided to explore the ship and head inside. But there was a weird figure waiting for him at the entrance of the ship.

"I welcome the descendant of Herrscher's bloodline and the last Ether user."

Meanwhile, at the top of Mitera

"So you sent that kid to the artifact site of the 1st triad?"

"Well, if your speculations are correct and he is just a human affected by radiation, then he will be killed by the security systems of Naglfar."

"But if not, and he really is the descendant of Herrscher's bloodline, then I shall feed you to abyssal monsters."

"Remember that hawklores!"

Zero sighs and turns off the hologram.

"Tch looks like we gotta finish off the kid."
