Supremacy Games

1950  Fishing Him Out!

The Thirteenth Universe...At the beginning of time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are at a pivotal moment in our history," The first ruler spoke with a powerful voice, "The unification of the Unigins and Celestials can bring an era of peace and prosperity that our realms have never known."

"Why? Are you tired of us stealing your precious celestial energy?" Apollo chuckled as he played with a Lyre made out of light.

Most of the unigins chortled as they gazed at the three rulers with a ridiculing look. The universe's heart and its celestial energy never belonged to the three rulers...Thus, whenever the unigins desired some celestial energy, they came straight here to collect it.

"We brought you here for a simple reason." Amun-Ra uttered calmly, "We desire to establish a celestial kingdom around the universe's heart...We want you to be part of it."

"A celestial kingdom?" Athena frowned, "Why? What's the purpose? I believe everyone is satisfied with the status quo."

"Satisfied? Are you sure?" Medusa inquired, "Besides some of you with actual realms that you can call home, the rest are roaming in the darkness akin to rogue planets, with no star to orbit on."

"Hey, did you call us here to insult us?" Poseidon scoffed, "I am enjoying my oceanic domain thank you very much."

"Heh, imagine calling a planet of water as a domain." Hephaestus covered his laughter.

"Prick." Poseidon merely gave him the middle finger with an irritated look.

"Listen up, there is no point in starting this with lies."

The first ruler waved his hand and exposed the massive brilliant prophecy tablet high above their heads.

Everyone stared at the tablet with raised eyebrows in confusion and intrigue.

"What's this?" Artemis asked softly.

"Our way out of this cursed prison," Amun-Ra pronounced with a cold edge.

"Interesting."

Eris moved up, appearing right next to the tablet. Then, she pointed at the picture of the dark circle at the very top of the tablet.

"Is this the way out?"

"That's what we believe." Medusa turned to the universe's heart and explained, "We believe that the dark circle is the universe's heart opened up."

While the three celestials were attempting to convince the unigins to join their cause, at the corner of the gathering, Kronos stood silently.

He seemed to gaze absentmindedly somewhere else, unbothered by the ongoing discussion.

'The timeline has changed...The old timeline perished after the Great Celestial War...Does this mean something or someone is manipulating the timelines?' He glanced at the three rulers and wondered, 'How come the three rulers seem ignorant about this?'

Kronos, the guardian of time and space, was the only one seemingly remembering what occurred in the past timeline.

He was certain that the three rulers were ignorant about this fact since he had peered into the future and noticed that the three rulers had never questioned the reality of their universe.

Their actions were 1 to 1 similar to their previous versions, doing everything in their power to free themselves.

'Were they blocked from viewing the future?'

Kronos tapped into his temporal powers and created an alternative timeline in his mind, where he inquired the three rulers about it.

They answered him, revealing that a veil of fog was obscuring their vision of the future concerning the prophecy tablet.

'Interesting, very, very interesting...' Kronos mumbled to himself.

Meanwhile, the three rulers were in a conversation to convince Lord Hades to join their kingdom, but to no avail.

"Ever since you started following the tablet, your motives and motives are more predictable than the movement of a star system."

"Hades..."

"I have already given you my answer," Lord Hades shut it down immediately, "The Spirit Realm is a sanctuary. It is not a tool for your ambitions."

Kronos seemed to care less as his mind was absorbed completely in one thought.

'If an outsider is changing the timeline, then, he seeking a certain result. Was I kept in the open with full access to the future to help him out?' Kronos narrowed his eyes, 'Or was it a mistake?'

Soon, Kronos shook his head, not believing that it was a mistake.

In his mind, an entity capable of destroying and creating new timelines implied possessing the powers of the creator...How could a creator ever make a mistake?

'I don't know who you are, or what you desire, but if you want my help, send me a signal right now.'

Silence...Kronos waited and waited, yet, no signal arrived.

While this would have made one drop their initial assumption, Kronos merely smirked, 'Looks like you don't have any control once the timeline commenced.'

'If it's like this, then, I am certain you are living amongst us, making earlier changes to benefit your end goal.'

With a cold smile, he uttered in his mind, 'I just have to fish you out.'

...

Time passed, and the eras shifted from the Primogenitor Era to the Dark Ages, finally settling at the SGAlliance Era.

Earth was discovered while Felix was sunbathing at the Sky Pearl Island...He was seventeen years old as in the last universe.

His grandfather's death and his poor assessment during the family's coming-of-age ritual had caused him a massive setback compared to his cousins.

The Federation had decided to join the SGAlliance as an individual entity instead of falling under the Alexender's Kingdom's rulership.

This gave them five games to play and create themselves within the SGAlliance. Unfortunately, the chosen team had failed to win a single game.

The last nail in the coffin was Kenny Maxwell, betraying them at the final game under the Alexender Kingdom's orders.

His betrayal had sealed Earth to bow down under the Alexender Kingdom's rulership at last.

After all, losing all five games implied getting kicked out of the SGAlliance, which would leave Earth without any protection.

With Earth being a known target due to its unique riches and cuisine, the Federation was forced to surrender quickly or have its entire planet turn into a free-for-warzone.

After the Alexander Kingdom took command, many Earthlings left the planet before they lost their freedom...Felix was one of them as his family's name was completely destroyed due to Kenny's betrayal.

With his parents and grandfather's death, there wasn't much left for him to do in the family either.

He went to the Mariana Empire and joined a bloodline clan for protection and resources to support his climb in the Supremacy Games. A decision that was common among average bloodlines, seeking to alter their fate.

After many close calls in both the games and clan missions, Felix finally reached the third stage of replacement and became a decent resource for the family.

He got accepted to join the exploration squad, heading to a newly discovered deserted galaxy.

As he joined the exploration team with more than forty other members, the journey alone had taken years, and when they were finally summoned back, they were intercepted by an infamous pirate group.

Felix, Kathy, Jayden, Kyle, and many other members spilled their last breaths in a galactical battle...As a mere third replacement bloodliner, Felix was nothing but canon fodder in such battles.

After he died, his soul went to the spirit realm, but because his memories were completely eliminated and the seven celestial hearts calculated his chance of return as 0%, the universe was deleted.

As the universe was getting erased, only one being had anticipated this moment and was preparing extensively for it.

'Who is it...'

Kronos's massive dreadful eye darted back and forth as he focused on the recently joined souls to the spirit realm across the entire universe!

With his vision over the future, he knew the moment exactly where the universe would perish as his vision always stopped at this exact moment.

Thus, he identified all the souls dying in this instant, knowing that one of them was the variant!

One of them was responsible for this!

One of them was the true puppeteer moving the strings of the timeline and everyone within it!

'Who is it...Who is it...Who is it...'

Unfortunately, the destruction of the universe happened in less than a nano of a second, giving him no time to peer through each spirit.

Even as the unigin of time, he couldn't stand against the universe's heart's absolute authority...But, Kronos wasn't disappointed.

The last thought coursing through his mind before he was eliminated was, '40% cleared...'
