Cosmic Ruler - Chapter 150

Chapter 150: Dio’s Return

Rami nodded, hearing Ragur’s words, and then asked, “What’s his race exactly?”

Ragur looked at Myre for a moment and then replied, “He is a dragon with a destruction-related core. However, his bloodline is strong enough to even suppress the bloodline of our world’s top dragon clan.”

“And Jake found him in a gate along with a Blood Elf?” Rami asked.

Ragur nodded.

Tista, who was once a Moon Elf, had been changed into a vampire hybrid of Elf and Vampire due to Myre. However, thanks to his legacy aiding her in the transformation and the high-quality blood core Jake fetched for her, she became an entirely new species—a Blood Elf Progenitor, the first of her kind.

Though for Celestaria, she appeared as just another Blood Elf, except to the few who knew about her true race.

“Interesting,” Rami mused. “So we have a tainted one with Dual core, a dragon with a destruction core, and a Blood Elf . Quite the group Jake has assembled.”

Ragur nodded. “Yes, it’s a unique and powerful group. That’s why I believe they will accept Dio. Their own experiences with prejudice and transformation will help them understand and support him.”

Rami took a moment to consider this. “Alright, Ragur. Inform Jake about Dio’s true nature and have him share it with Ramis and Tista. Ensure they understand the importance of accepting him as he is.”

Ragur bowed slightly. “Understood, Elder Rami. I will see to it immediately.”

As Ragur left to carry out his task, Myre spoke up. “This plan has potential, but we must still be cautious. Even with friends who understand, the world at large will not be so forgiving.”

Rami nodded. “I know. But it’s a start. If Dio can find acceptance among his friends, it might be enough to keep him grounded and prevent him from resenting the world.”

Myre sighed. “I hope you’re right. The balance is delicate, and any misstep could lead to disaster.”

‘ Especially if anything happens to Ramis I will kill Dio at any cost’ Mure inwardly said.

“Agreed,” Rami said. “But we must try. Dio’s power and potential are too great to be squandered by fear and isolation. We must guide him, even if the path is fraught with danger.”

With a final nod of agreement, the council dispersed,

********

Jake, who had long returned to his mansion, was recounting the events of Red Hell to his friends. He told them everything, from the start to the end, including the details about Merrick, who seemed hell-bent on dominating the Celestaria world.

Mark, Jimmy, Emily, Sophia, Melina, and Tista listened carefully as Jake recounted the events. It felt like watching a horror movie where jump scares could come at any moment.

After Jake finished recounting, Mark was the first to speak. “So, did you fight this Merrick guy?” he asked, his voice filled with concern.

“No, he was too powerful to fight. I just watched them from afar,” Jake replied, omitting the fact that he had almost died.

“No wonder you kicked me out of there. You had the means to spy on others without even letting them know,” Ramis said, nodding his head.

Jake didn’t deny it and nodded.

“So, what’s his deal?” Tista asked. She, after all, knew what it meant to live in a world on the brink of destruction.

“Don’t worry, I am here. I won’t let him do anything to this world,” Jake replied, seeing the concern in Tista’s eyes.

Jimmy, who had been silent until now, spoke up. “But how are we going to stop him? He sounds like a real threat, and if he’s as powerful as you say, we’re going to need a solid plan.”

Emily added, “We can’t just sit around and wait for him to make his move. We need to be proactive.”

“I know, that’s why I’m going to power up you guys,” Jake said as he clapped his hands. Six translucent glowing cores appeared, each bead seeming to have a unique pattern inside that swam within the bead.

“These are legacy cores!” Emily gasped as she looked at them.

“Yes, they are,” Jake nodded.

Ramis, who had been watching from the side, came forward and brought out another three beads. These three were similar to three of the six beads Jake had produced.

Ramis looked at Jake and asked, “How do you have them too?”

“I stole them,” Jake replied with a cheeky smile, though he was lying.

Seeing Jake’s cheeky smile, everyone felt like laughing, imagining Merrick’s face when he would discover his treasures were gone.

Mark couldn’t help but chuckle. “Well, however you got them, these will definitely give us an edge.”

Jimmy examined them closely and asked, “These are from the Nine Heaven King Legacy, right?”

Jake nodded. “Yes, these six are: Mecha Emperor, Ice Emperor, Lava Emperor, Gravity Emperor, Tempest Emperor, and lastly, Time & Space Emperor.”

“Hmm, so we have duplicates of the Lava Emperor, Tempest Emperor, and Time & Space Emperor legacies from the Nine Heaven King Legacy?” Jimmy asked.

“Yes,” Jake confirmed. “You guys can pick any of these cores, and then Ramis and I will share the knowledge about these cores with you.”

The others nodded and began to examine each of the cores.

“Can’t you give us an introduction about these cores?” Sophia pouted.

Jake smiled and began to elaborate on each core, detailing their powers and potential applications.

Sophia’s eyes widened with excitement. “Wow, these are incredible! Each one offers such unique powers.”

Mark nodded thoughtfully. “We need to choose wisely. Each core has its strengths, and we should pick the ones that best complement our abilities.”

Jimmy added, “And we need to think about how these powers will work together. Our synergy could make us even stronger.”

Emily examined the Gravity Emperor Core. “I think this one suits me. I’ve always had an affinity for defense and support, and the ability to control Gravity could be really versatile.”

Sophia eyed the Time & Space Emperor Core. “This one fascinates me. The ability to manipulate time and space could give us a huge strategic advantage.”

Mark picked up the Mecha Emperor Core. “This one’s for me. I love tech, and having the ability to integrate mechanical constructs into my combat style sounds perfect.”

Jimmy selected the Gravity Emperor Core. “I like the idea of manipulating Ice. It’s a powerful tool that can be used in so many ways.”

Melina chose the Tempest Emperor Core. “I’ll take this one. Controlling storms and wind fits my style—fast, dynamic, and adaptable.”

Ramis looked at the Lava Emperor Core. “And I’ll take the Lava Emperor Core. Its raw power suits me well, and I can handle the destruction it brings.”

Jake nodded, pleased with their choices. “Great. Now that you’ve picked your cores, Ramis and I will help you understand how to harness their power. We’ll start training immediately.”
