Journey Towards Greatness Chapter 490
Advertisement
Julian learned a lot from Cynthia about the Underworld and how the League and other world leaders handle them, but right now the underworld is not their main priority right now, it is Cyrus.
He is the real threat, his obsession with creating a perfect world will bring a disaster and both Julian and Cynthia know about this, they need to stop Cyrus.
Cynthia "What should we do about Cyrus?"
She asked worriedly.
Julian "He will come out, with things going on how they are Cyrus won't stay silent, whatever he created is with me, he cannot do anything without it, he will come to look for it.
He said and took out the black box that he received from Cyrus, he opened it up revealing a capsule containing a blue liquid-like substance inside, it seems to be filled with energy, he frowned when he saw this.
This energy was very similar to Omniforce but much weaker compared to the real thing, and this energy seems to be mixed with another type of energy as well, it is very close to Chaos that he felt inside the mutated Hydreigon.
Cyrus is able to create something like this showed that he spent a lot of money and manpower behind it, he has no idea why Cyrus would create something like this, but whatever he is planning could have a huge impact if this thing in Julian's hand gets back to Cyrus.
Julian decided to look further into this and let his system go through the process, as days passed by he had less and less use of the system, he started to understand the world around him more clearly without the help of the system.
The system helped him a lot in the beginning but now it's not too much of use too him, it is fortunate that the system doesn't have any consciousness of itself or it would have been bored to death.

The system is still useful to him when he doesn't have any answers that he can come up with, the system also helped him in keeping his pokemon's health in check, he would get a weekly update on his pokemon's condition, their strength gain, their weakness and what they need to do to avoid this weakness, his system also played a huge role in training his pokemons, the system always came up with best-case scenarios for him pokemons and how to train them.
The system soon started its process as it tried to figure out what's going on with this substance that Cyrus has created, it didn't take long before it came up with an answer.
System 'Information acquired'
Julian heard the system's voice and got alerted.
Julian 'What is it?'
He asked.
System 'Energy has been extracted from Uxie and been fused with man-made volatile elements creating energy similar to chaos'
The system gave its answer.
Julian 'What can it do?'
He asked, concerned about what Cyrus is really planning.
System 'Due to its volatile nature the energy will act as a destructive element against barriers between dimensions, if released near an area where the barrier is thin, it can create a rift between dimensions, connecting them forever'
It said.
Julian 'I see so Cyrus wants to open a rift and connect the two dimensions. If that happens this world will cease to exist, everything will be destroyed, what is that idiot even thinking?'
He thought and looked at Cynthia who is also thinking about how to track down Cyrus, she already suspects him to have left the Underworld island as they will not welcome him after what happened, the Chief already confessed his crimes and also revealed the identity of the people who were working for him and with him, he also mentioned that Cyrus was the one who he last spoke too.

Of course, he didn't confess this on his own, he was hypnotized by a powerful pokemon into speaking the truth and confess all of his crimes along with his accomplice.
Julian "What about the League headquarters, did anyone take over?"
He asked startling Cynthia as she was in deep thought.
Cynthia "No, not yet, after the Chief was taken in, he left a very big gap in the rankings, it will take days for the League to send a better and more talented person to take in charge of Sinnoh League headquarters"
She said.
Julian "What about the Chief?"
Cynthia "He confessed to everything after being put under hypnosis"
Julian "Did he mention anything about Cyrus?"
Cynthia "Just that Cyrus was very mad and threatened to kill me, nothing more"
Julian "He dares say that?"
Julian got angry when he heard this, Cynthia is now a part of his life, if anything happens to her, the whole world might inquire his wrath.
Cynthia "Don't worry, he is just a psychopath spouting nonsense, we will catch him and put him under trial where he will be judged severely by the League and the League doesn't go easy on people like Cyrus, its either death or solitary imprisonment for the rest of their lives where they will slowly go insane"
She answered.
Hearing this Julian did feel a little relieved, the League's punishment was really something, even he wouldn't be able to stay alive for the rest of his life all alone, locked inside a dark room for the rest of his life with no interaction with anything, even he would go mad, let alone Cyrus who is already mad.
And with how time works in this world, it would be hell for Cyrus as he is just in his late 30s.

Apollyon's Curse
Within the pages of folklore and fantasy, tales of people who chase after the dream of eternity, of living forever, rarely find a happy ending. They are either struck by the grim truth of reality, give up, and return to mortality or face a ghastly realization of their wishes. The latter often the worse fate, as they come to realize, only far too late, that what they sacrificed was worth far more than the time they gained. Ultimately, the common thread in these stories is that “immortality is as much a curse as it is a blessing”. People either realize it early and give up or are doomed to inevitably face its consequences. In the world Enrich lives in, that saying does hold merit. Every pathway towards eternal life has shackles of its own. They bring those high above down to the ground, evening the playing field. It is thanks to these fundamental laws that ambitious mortals are able to defy the heavens and achieve immortality themselves. The variety of methods result in each of these bindings varying in intensity and degree of freedom. Enrich’s path doesn't break this trend. Though, after what he did to himself, most wouldn’t even consider him a living thing anymore. On the day of his ascension, a world’s worth of souls were melted and recast. On that day, the human’s path had reached its conclusion, recast into Apollyon. An artifact, a weapon, is eternal, after all. As for the curse? The payment will be made, as it must. So why not offload the curse to someone else? Mortals throw their lives away for all manner of petty reasons, noble or otherwise, especially in desperation. Eventually, someone will be willing to foot the bill. Most will if given the chance. The bait is far too tempting, after all. Power, status, knowledge. All at their fingertips. If only they say “yes”. And Apollyon is very willing to help any lost souls. If they give up everything in return, of course.

Mistwalker Xyn and the Cult of Eldritch Evil
[Participant in the 2020 Royal Road Writathon Challenge] Having just graduated to adulthood, Xyn is salty about how his lackluster Awakening has resulted in his current derided status within his clan and tribe, particularly when compared to the successes of his litter-siblings. The revelation of the truth about his heritage sets in motion events leading to him traveling to human lands on a secret mission for his tribe. Cringeworthy moments and awkwardness will ensue as young Xyn (an anthropomorphic tiger-kin), raised in the sheltered life of a martial artist, navigates human society with a trusty sidekick or two picked up along the way and might just save his corner of the world while he's at it. Gore will be minimally present as needed to tell a fantasy martial arts tale. There won't be any sexual content, but mild/vague suggestive themes may occur occasionally due to the nature of Xyn's mission and his insecurities. Story should be teen appropriate.
