Rise of a Fallen God - 138 Preparation

Looking around I see legions of my army preparing in groups, some lead by young blooded Generals others lead by veterans like General Timothy and Vincent.

They are all preparing for the annual battle against each other, they looked at each other like wild beast and knew after this ranking match was finished they would start a massive war far bigger than the ‘small’ planetary battles they had with the resisting smaller powers within the Mortal Realm.

Timothy was one of the few Honored Generals among the army that both old and young looked up too and admired, although Vincent did not have as much influence in the military as Timothy he held massive influence in Government gaining him a lot of support and troops for his Legion.

Not many of the Major Powers within the Dragon Empire could come close to the man in terms of power and influence as he was one of Samara’s highly ranked officials.

No one knew what the man did to get her favor but it has never went down even after all these years.

Those with more understanding of how and when the creation of the Dragon Empire began and those who were here from the start had a few ideas but not enough to replicate his feat.

Some thought Vincent’s moral character was something she favored, and while they were right the biggest thing that gained him her favor was a technique he learned from a secret Realm.

An that technique was a Blood art that allowed her to boost the effects of her own unique Bloodline abilities to absorb and manipulate blood.

With this she was able to merge herself into my blood and be intoxicated beyond belief, once she took this Blood art from Vincent she did not think much of it but after finding out its uses she made sure to reward him and everyone of Vincent’s Bloodline.

Vincent had the backing of one of the most powerful Empresses and lead the Crimson Sun army.

Timothy also had the backing of an Empress which many could clearly tell as his army was named the Volt Thunder Legion, everyone knew he had Empress Valara’s backing even before Prince Tristan became a General back when he was known by them all as Three Suns.

Many expected Timothy to be somewhat disappointed that he was now no longer as influential as Tristan, but Timothy never cared about power or influence.

He was indeed ambitious but he was not going to do everything to get his hands on power.

Looking over he saw all the other Legions preparing for the ranking battles, the Sun Legion controlled by Tristan, Dragon Legion under Tes Twine, BlackFlame under General Derrick and many others had all come to rank near the top.

Each of the Legions were using their aura’s to pressure and motivate each other.

They knew this ranking match would be one were they could let loose and did not have to hold back any of their power, as the moment someone was about to be fatally wounded they would be transferred out of the battlefield.

Those new to the ranking matches such as the newly recruited Demon Clan members and the Obsidian Dragon Clan members had no idea about how it worked other than what they have heard from their fellow Legion members.

One thing was clear to them as they were told to not hold back any of their power or they would be punished, being new forced them to have sour smiles as they pushed their powers to the peak for the battles ahead.

Before the Legions were transported to the separate space were their little war would happen, they all turned to look at the Pill Refiners from the Fallen Ash Empire rush over.

“Our master the Pill God Nathaniel, has sent us to deliver a few special pills for this years ranking matches that will aid you all in growing stronger while you all fight.

Each Legion member will be given 200 of these Spirit grade pills, while the Commanders will be given 50 Void Reaching pills.

These Void Reaching pills are Nathaniel’s latest achievement in Pill Refining, Empress Lilly and Rose who lead the Medical Research Department have also approved these Pills as Top grade.

We of the Pill Tower will also be here to watch the Battles to write down the effects of the Pills first hand.” Standing back alongside a few hundred Pill Tower experts the Elder stopped speaking.

Timothy was one of the first who went up to get the Void Reaching pills as he wanted to catch up to his old friend Tristan as soon as possible, after hearing the name of these Pills how could not realize what these Pills could help him do.

Each of the other Generals had the same thoughts as Timothy and like wild beast rushed the Elder who held all the Void Reaching Pills.

After collecting their Pills they looked over and ordered their Legions to go collect their Pills orderly.

The various Legion troops looked at their Commanders who were all at the peak of the True God Realm in shame, they all were just treated as a bunch of begging children as they rushed for the Void Reaching Pills the youngest Tes and Derrick were the same as the older True God Realm experts.

Noticing their troops looks Tes who knew no shame spoke up.

“Don’t you look at us like that power is everything within this world of ours, now that an enemy that even the various Empresses are wary of has appeared we naturally wish to grow stronger.

Not only for the Dragon Empire but for ourselves who are aiming for the peak. I for one wish to rise to the top of the Mortal Realm where I can sit and talk with the Emperor as an equal.”

Everyone of the troops moved over and collected their Pills not arguing or fussing with Tes he was not like anyone else as he was his own person and did everything and said everything without thinking.

They did not want to have him continue speaking as it would rile him up to much during the matches, which would be both good and bad.

Another commotion caused these warriors who have been fighting on planet after planet to look over once more, this time it was Tristan Sun who had arrived. Although he could not fight in this years ranking matches he still wished to show up and give his Legion a moral boost to perform well.

“Don’t mind me I am just here to watch this year, as most of you know I have reached the Void Realm and can no longer fight with you until you are all a bit stronger.”

Tristan said as he walked over towards Vincent and Timothy along with many of his war buddies.

Not one to be looked down on Timothy let everyone know how powerful he was as he released his aura which let everyone know he was one step away from the Void Realm.

He had been beating black and blue by Valara and Verena within the Time Realm, were all the True Gods go to train.

Tristan was the only one among the various Legion troops and Generals who was not shocked by this sudden display of power as he was also one of Timothy’s training partners in the Time Realm.

He was only shocked at how fast Timothy had caught up, Tristan’s power came from a fusion while Timothy’s was all from his hard work. Making him feel like he was still a step behind Timothy even after his Void Realm power’s helped him to hold his own against both Verena and Valara.

Smiling at his friend he felt a fire burn in him to train harder to show that he deserved this power.

He did not know when but he had long since stopped thinking as two people and only felt as if he was only himself, Tristan Sun.

Once the various Empresses arrived that held power within the military showed up they each gathered with the Legions they control over.

Many youths and Major powers from the Empire were here to witness this and nothing but shock was seen on their faces, even more so for those who are here for the first time.

The Unified Dragon Empire had more than a thousand Legions here on the south Territory of the Dragon Empire, each being under the control of more than a hundred Empresses and Major powers.

While each Legion held more than 100 thousand troops, some even held half a million troops, the shocking thing was that Tristan, Timothy and the older more veteran Generals Legions held 100 thousand each.

They even spotted an army that had no more than 50 thousand troops in the entire Legion and what scared everyone was that the Dragon Emperor himself supported and groomed this Legion.

Soon they all noticed the Commander and it was Gold Luster a former God of Destruction that many thought would be despised by the Dragon Empires people. Not only had he once tried to take young Vesta’s life but he had severely injured the Dragon Emperor long ago.

Yet now this man stood as the Commander of the Dragon Emperor’s personal army Legion.

Much like Timothy Gold Luster’s aura was one step away from reaching the Void Realm, this caused all the Legions to look over and inspect all 50 thousand of the Emperors personal troops.

To their surprise this army consisted of the Emperors young son’s and their personal guards, while the rest were a mix of the Shadow unit, Major powers youths, influential sons and daughters who gained the Emperor’s interest.

They could not believe their eyes looking at the army of True Gods that seemed no old than 15-16 with 20 being the oldest.

While a 20 year old True God was shocking it was nothing if the Empire fully nurtured that person, as for those 15-16 year olds no one had any idea how they got so much power.

Many looked over to Tes and he had a sneer on his face as he smiled an licked his lips as he watched the 50 thousand troops like prey, if they guessed correctly they all knew who Tes and his Legion would go after once the ranking matches started.

The ranking matches each year would more or less be the same were each army would pick an opposing Legion and fight until the last man standing.

Having half a million to a million troops did not mean that they would win it just meant they had more troops because of the powers supporting the Legion.

Each Legion wished to make the powers supporting them look good, as their rank would show which powers had the best training methods, connections, resources and Influence within the Empire.

The Legions supported by more than a hundred Empresses were Legions that had 200 thousand to 100 thousand troops.

While the various Major Powers that only had 10 or so Empresses supporting them had more troops to make up for the lack of quality in their troops these Legion’s were 500 thousand strong or stronger.

This did not mean the Emperor favored is wives differently it was just the difference in who his various wives wished to support.

Each of them controlled resources that were unlimited beyond a normal person’s imagination yet some needed these resources for themselves while others could freely give it to their followers to grow stronger and gain more willing supporters within the Empire.

Many did not understand the meaning of the Ranking battles but these women used it to rank each other and their power, influence and control over the Empire.

The various major powers guessed this long ago and have all decided to support their daughters and female family members who were Empresses.

This could make their Family Clan more powerful than the average Families and give them an edge within the Empire against all the others.

The problem with this was not every Family had daughters that could join the Emperor’s massive harem, this is why they picked an Empress that needed support or promised aid in return for youths to train as their own forces.
