''Father, Ichiro, are you alright?!'' Aether came in a hurry from his own room and saw the scene of his father's room being in flames. He paled slightly but then saw his father and Ichiro on the courtyard, looking towards the flames with frowns.
''What happened?!'' He shouted anxiously as he ran towards them.
Both Abyss and Ichiro didn't answer.
Once the flames started slowly dying down, outlines of people started showing.
It wasn't only one or two outlines, instead hundreds!
''Go get Fang— we are being attacked.'' Abyss said towards his son.
''B-But.'' Aether gulped.
''Go!'' Abyss shouted and turned into a bolt of lightning, which colored the darkness in a lightning storm!
Supreme Leader had his arms crossed as he looked at the sight, and soon, Abyss appeared with a strike of lightning.
Abyss frowned at the sight of over a hundred men, but he wasn't that wary of them, but the man with bloody robes screamed dangerous!
It is a feeling he had never felt before; it was like he was in the presence of true Apex Predator!
''Who are you, and why have you come here?'' Abyss asked, and a bolt of lightning appeared on his hand.
''We are The Ones Who Are Hiding In The Dark... And this is our Supreme Leader.'' Xenor said with excitement, but being in the presence of a legendary individual like Abyss, he had still lingering fear in him.
Abyss turned his head towards the man with bloody robes and frowned, ''And what do you want?''
''Nice to meet you, at last, Abyss...'' Supreme Leader said with his chilly and powerful tone. His voice alone ignited the spirits of his subordinates and made his enemies feel despair.
''I have a simple purpose... To see the Death and Destruction of the World we are living in...'' Supreme Leader put his arms wide open and sighed loudly, ''It's time to end the corruption and the World's hierarchy, which is ruled by strength... It is time to enter the world without Martial Arts!''
''Heh...'' Abyss chuckled and said with a mocking look, ''So... You are crazy?''
''Don't you dare to talk to our Supreme Leader like that!'' Xenor screamed with his aged and hoarse tone, filled with anger.
Supreme Leader waved his hand to stop his angry subordinates from doing anything rash.
''It might sound crazy to you... After all, you are the pinnacle example of what I hate... A person who should have been a doormat to others... Is now so-called Humanity's Hope— I can't accept that. You should have stayed on the bottom of hierarchy where trashes like you belong.''
''Hmph.'' Abyss snorted and asked, ''And, how do you plan to do that?''
Supreme Leader suddenly smirked, like he was expecting that question, ''The first step is the death of the pillar... Once pillar has fallen, rest of the house will as well.'' He raised his arm and pointed his index finger at Abyss as he said his words filled with coldness, ''It is time for your death!''
''Hahahahaha...'' Abyss silently laughed until it became louder and louder until his laughter was the only thing in the dark night.
''What's so funny?!'' Xenor screamed and clenched his wrinkly hand, ''Your death has arrived!''
Slowly, Abyss stopped laughing and looked at Supreme Leader's face, which had no tinge of emotion.
''I have heard those words many times, and here I am... Still standing.'' Abyss unbuttoned his shirt and threw it away. His bare chest became visible, filled with scars of every type.
''Hmm...'' Supreme Leader hummed and unbuttoned his sleeves, ''Xenor, Adamas, go kill his son.''
Abyss widened his eyes, ''Don't you dare!''
Xenor smirked and started floating away with Adamas.
*CRKKK!*
Abyss' eyes flickered in lightning and rage as he rushed after them!
''Not so fast...'' He heard a bone-chilling voice behind him, and the next thing he felt was something solid striking his back.
*BOOM!*
Abyss' body crashed through a building like a meteor, and even after crashing down to the ground, his body's momentum didn't stop, and he got buried deep inside the ground.
''Go, and don't fail.'' Supreme Leader said coldly.
Xenor and Adamas nodded and rushed towards the mansion-like building.
''And you rest...'' Supreme Leader turned his head towards the rest of his subordinates, ''Go kill everyone.''
''Yes, Supreme Leader!'' They all shouted in unison, and all of them went in different directions to start their killing spree!
''GRAAAA!'' Supreme Leader heard a powerful shout coming from below him, which caused him to look towards the sound, and he saw a blast of lightning coming straight towards him!
The blast of the radius was 100 meters wide and looked extremely powerful and deadly, with lightning streaks circling around the beam.
Without changing his expression, he put his hand in front of him and muttered, ''Death and Destruction, Nothing.'' A small ball appeared in his hand. Another half of the ball was in the color of black, while the other half was in the color of white.
The ball slowly started floating towards the incoming lightning blast, and once it got surrounded by the lightning...
*Pop!*
Only a sound of pop was heard as the terrifying and incredibly powerful lightning attack disappeared. It was like a soap bubble getting popped, but this time, there was nothing left of the previous terrifying attack.
*BOOM!*
A building below him was destroyed into smithereens, and a black-haired man appeared with his muscles bulging with energy.
Supreme Leader slightly smirked as he said, ''Come on, kill me. If you can't... Your precious son will be killed!''
''Graaah!'' Abyss screamed with anger unleashed his punch, which was coated in lightning.
Supreme Leader crossed his arms in an X formation and blocked the punch with somewhat ease.
''Lightning Style, Lightning Blast!'' Abyss' fist started crackling in lightning, and soon, a blast of lightning left his fist and struck Supreme Leader's block!
Supreme Leader got pushed back a meter before he simply swiped his hands, which destroyed the blast of lightning with ease.
''Hahaha...'' He suddenly laughed and looked at Abyss, who seemed serious, ''You have indeed gotten weaker... Is there any Divinity inside you anymore? What a shame... I wanted to fight you when you still had your Divinity.... But now, this will be boring.''
