161 Climax

Veritas had finally reached the boiling point where she could no longer take it and was just about to attack, but just in time, the space close to the scene broke open, causing everyone on the scene to stop and observe.

Some of the humans currently at the scene seemed to have a different expression from the rest though, like they recognized the happenings before them. Veritas also caught wind of what was happening after a brief moment.

From the portal that just opened came floating out the leader of the Razhin faith, Lord Majek. He wore clothing like monks in a hindu temple, but more like one of their teachers or senior monks. Below he wore a baggy trouser beneath and had a heavy looking and baggy cloth go round it in a rather rough fashion. As for his top, two pieces of fabric went round from one should to the waist, and that was it. His beards reached his chest, and his hair was receding and not too long.

With one arm behind his back and one in front of him holding his heavy and majestic looking staff, Majek spoke almost softly. “Stop this nonsense at once.” He said, his voice caring authority despite its softness, one might say.

The entire battle became quite and only the ocean provided a natural harmony to the listening of all. Amidst this quiet however, there was only one who dared to brake it, and it was none other than Veritas.

With an annoyed expression, she swung her arm to the side with a bit of furry, causing the ocean to split into two sides deep enough to fit an entire ship in, and travelled far.

Perhaps it was the show of strength from Veritas who seemed to have not been trying even, or it was the mysterious figure that had just appeared before him, but the king of Atlantis was speechless for a moment not knowing how to think of the situation.

Seeing Veritas’s show of strength, he was sure that would have driven him into a corner for sure, if not down completely, and seeing Majek who had just appeared with all the mysterious and divine aura surrounding him, he was out of it.

“I see, one filthy creature is also here. Where is your master?” Said, Majek, as he saw Veritas. He had utter disdain towards Victor and his people, especially the vampires and others that were not exactly human. Normally, an unstoppable fight will break up after meeting each other, but at the time they faced more demanding matters.

“You don’t deserve to know of his presence, let alone see him, dog.” Said Veritas, without paying much attention to Majek.

Though Majek was strong, he wasn’t strong enough to make light of Veritas. He would surely come out victorious if they were to fight seriously, as Majek is after all, the avatar of the gods. It was just that the gods needed nothing of the earth or from it, so they had no reason to descend, not that their vessel was in danger or anything. In a serious fight though, Majek would have to call upon his gods for assistance, but now at such a moment, there was no need for such confrontations. Nevertheless, after all is settled, both sides will surely return to their previous relationship.

“Do your job old man, lets get it over with.” Said Veritas.

The king had dared not speak a word yet. Though he had the authority over water, the power is not in the hands of the right person, so it’s true power was not being unleashed. There was something different about the person before him that his very body ordered him to obey, but as a king, he fought this suppressing feeling.

“And who are you?” Said the king. Sounding tough.

Without words, Majek appeared beside the king without any sound made and the king not even knowing when, even his automatic defense did not react and Majek placed his hand on the king’s shoulder.

Of course, someone like Veritas could follow Majek’s movements, though not completely. To her, it was more of a blur, but she could still follow it like so.

“Why don’t you calm down now that I’m asking nicely.” Said Majek, before slowly raising his hand and once again creating a portal just behind the king and then asking him to follow along.

‘He calls that asking? He never spoke to me did he?’

.

Seeing the king follow behind, the humans simply waited and followed one after the other with the leaders first followed by the remaining. Unfortunately, the moment the last relatively important person step tooth in the portal and through, it closed. The rest were to fend for themselves.

Good thing was, the water levels seemed to have slowed down to a stop, almost.

Lord Majek took them all to his temple, which doesn’t happen everyday certainly. The view within the temple was truly worthy of being within a temple, and was nothing anyone would thing a temple to be, but Veritas called bullshit nonetheless.

After leading all to a suitable talking spot, he had them all seat and then the discussion began.

There, the situation was explained in detail and not in a hurry so everyone understood, and the king also got to tell his side of the story.

To say the least, he was quite shocked to know what the reset was actually, and that it wasn’t the doing of their god to help them get their revenge against their enemy.

That said, it completely changed everything for the king, and even helped lift some on his burdens. Since many and the majority would have died regardless since only the strong are left, he could forgive himself for many deaths as they would have been erased either way.

Now, the question was why these foreign beings were so adamant in invading and destroying lifeforms. The scientists were curious to know what these aliens were like, whether they were some civilization of Artificial Intelligence, maybe a giant robot race, but that wasn’t it. According to the king of Atlantis, they looked just like humans in every way, except that they behaved differently and were obviously more advanced.

This new discovery, made everything tricky.
