Beast Continent.

This was the Continent that served as the den for beastmen around the world. As one would expect, it also housed some of the most dangerous beasts in the world.

It even had some prehistoric beasts that existed for countless years and can easily threaten the life of any Higher being.

One of these beasts reside in a place called Dead man’s Valley.

This Valley was covered with blood colored mist, which gave it a sinister look.

Standing outside the valley’s entrance was a group of people.

The one at the front wore traditional Chinese clothing.

He had a medium build, had silver hair and gold eyes, and a handsome but wild face.

“So this is where the target is?”

He turned around and asked the person directly behind him.

“That’s right. This is their place of residence.”

The person looked around 9 and had pink hair and a beautiful doll-like face.

This person was the person behind the destruction of Grim City, and Bloom’s dead childhood friend, MYTH’s Doll Princess Marionette aka Mari.

“According to the information my father gave me, yes.”

She answered.

“There’s more than one Beastly aura coming from this place.”

Said the man.

“This place is his den, I suppose that it has his descendants and followers.”

Mari answered.

“Could the infamous Chao Tiān be afraid?”

A woman walked out and said.

Chao Tiān also known as the Beast Rebelling Against The Heavens.

He’s the monkey king, Sun Wukong (Son Goku) Proxy as well as a Tyrant. He’s an invincible existence that’s considered the strongest beast Proxy in history.

Chao turned around and looked at the woman behind him.

“Mad Sorceress, just because we’re in Nexus together doesn’t mean that I won’t kill you if you piss me off.”

The woman, Mad Sorceress Victoria smiled.

Victoria is the proxy of the Greek sorceress Medea, who was known for several gruesome acts.

Victoria was also the first Infected to be recorded, with the ability to steal lives and add it to her own. She was recognized as one of the most dreadful humans to ever exist.

Even Miko who only heard about her from Sapphire, was cautious of her.

She was a rather beautiful woman with lavender hair and was dressed in a dark colored cloak.

She had a sinister smile and a crazy look in her eyes.

“My apologizes.”

She apologized.

“I was just curious because you seemed overly cautious.”

“That goes to show the difference in our experiences, little girl.”

Chao answered.

Victoria frowned when she heard that, but he ignored her and continued.

“During the War For Supremacy, this beast was famous for turning Gods into meat paste, demons into bones, beasts into toothpicks, and Heroes into lunch. So of course I’ll be cautious.”

“Then, do you want us to call for back up?”

Mari asked.

“Back up?”

Chao laughed.

“Why would I do something like that?”

He faced the valley.

“I’ve always wanted to fight this beast. I didn’t have time to 10,000 years ago, but look! The world is so peaceful that people even forgot that such a monster resided here. I have all the time in the world.”

“As expected of a war veteran.”

Another person came forward.

It was a young boy around his early teens. He had purple and azure hair and lazy blue eyes.

“Alexis Dragna.”

That’s right.

This person was Alec, Kirika, and Ren’s father Alexis Dragna.

“I heard a lot about you from my father. He said that during the war you caused a huge commotion in the Chinese God faction. I heard that you slaughtered so many gods that the Jade Emperor himself had to personally put a bounty on your head. The fact that you became a Tyrant is natural.”

Alexis said with a sleepy tone.

Chao looked at him.

“Your eyes are similar to Augustus’ you know.”

Chao said.

“Uninterested in mortals and lacking any form of compassion and human emotion.”

“Is that a problem?”

Chao shook his head.

“You’re the leader of Apostasia and one of the founders of the New Era, eyes like those are natural.”

Chao gaze then sharpened.

“In fact if your eyes were soft, I would’ve killed you already.”

“Hahaha….”

Alexis laughed in monotone.

“That would be a problem.”

He said.

“Hey, are we going to do this or not?”

Said the last person.

It was an obese man dressed in a suit with his hair swept back.

“I’m burning calories just standing here. Did we really need to bring someone from every branch to be here?”

He asked.

“Shut it, Drake. Show more dignity as a Tyrant.”

Said Chao.

“Don’t compare me to a monster like you. I’m a weak Tyrant, I won’t be of any help in capturing this beast.”

Tyrant Drake replied.

“Your barriers might come in handy, that’s why you were sent as Hell Dynasty’s representative.”

Mari replied.

“Don’t worry, fatty. If we failed we’ll just use you as bait to allow us time to escape.”

Victoria laughed and said.

“Fuck you, you skinny bitch!”

Drake got mad and roared.

Victoria didn’t mind his outburst and continued to laugh.

“Enough. It’s time to work.”

Said Chao.

He didn’t wait for anyone to reply and walked into the valley.

“Let’s get this over with.”

Victoria followed into the valley and said.

The others all followed in one by one.

Mari had to drag drake inside by the way.

Inside the valley was dark, but the darkness didn’t hinder anyone of them in the least.

They continued to marched on without delay.

“We’re being watched.”

Said Victoria.

“Small fries. Ignore them.”

Chao said without looking back.

The deeper they ventured into the valley, the more gazes they felt on them.

“Looks like we can’t go any further without being attacked.”

Said Mari.

They all stopped except for Chao at this point.

“Roar!”

A giant ape like monster jumped out of the darkness and blocked his path.

“Halt, ant! Do you know where you are?!”

Chao didn’t pay it any mind and continued to walk forward.

The monster got angry when he saw that Chao didn’t acknowledge his existence.

“Insolent!”

The monster threw a punch with his truck size fist.

Chao still didn’t pay him any mind and continued to walk.

*Boom!*

The fist slammed against Chao, but instead of Chao being blown away, the monster’s fist burst apart like a water balloon slamming on a wall.

“Ahhhhh?!”

The monster roared out in pain.

And then-

“Be quiet.”

*Boom!*

The monster suddenly exploded after Chao spoke.

“Whew.”

Alexis whistled when he saw that.

“Listen up well, because I’ll only say this once.”

Chao spoke casually but his voice had immense weight.

“Block my path and die. Leave and live. Your choice.”

The moment he said that the others could feel countless monsters escaping for the lives.

“Any of these monsters could terrorize a country, but they’re like ants in front of a real monster.”

Said Drake.

“Well, he’s the man who took on my ancestor for two days straight. Only a monster can do that.”

Said Alexis.

“I even heard that he won in the end, but that’s just a rumor. And to make it worst, Chao refuses to say what really happened between him and Augustus.”

“Maybe he’s the one who lost, but was too ashamed to speak out.”

Victoria giggled and said.

“You seriously want to die don’t you?”

Mari said.

“What? I was just saying that it’s possible.”

“You’re only able to say that because you have over a million lives stored up.”

Said Drake.

“Hahaha! I’m sure that Chao could kill me a million times if he wanted to.”

She laughed and said.

“Well, that’s true.”

Said Alexis.

“If you people only came here to talk you can go home now.”

Said Chao with a slightly irritated tone.

“No can do. What if the beast is too much for you? You’ll need reinforcements.”

Mari answered.

“If I’m not able to defeat it, what could you people do against it?”

Said Chao.

“He’s right. If he’s unable to defeat it, then it’s game over for us.”

Said Drake.

“Shut it, fatty.”

Said Victoria.

“If Chao loses, then I’ll take over.”

She cracked her knuckles and said.

“I already know the perfect spell to subdue it.”

She then looked at Drake.

“But I’ll need a sacrifice.”

“Fuck you! I won’t be a sacrifice!”

He roared.

“Ah, come on. Don’t be so selfish. It’s for the greater evil.”

“Stop it, Victoria.”

Said Mari.

“If you work Drake up too much he’ll burn calories. If that happens his barriers won’t be as strong.”

“I know. I know.”

Victoria giggled and replied.

“Could you people shut up?”

Chao said.

They walked further into the valley until they encountered a gigantic throne made of bones.

Sitting on the throne was a terrifying monster.

It looked like an ape, had shape sabertooth fangs, crocodilian skin, and serpentine monster with a mouth as a tail.

This was one of the walking disasters that plunged the world in chaos with its every move.

The Devil Ape.

“Are you the ones who disrupted my kingdom?”

Devil Ape spoke.

Chao stepped forward.

“It’s a pleasure, Devil Ape. I’m Chao Tiān and I’m here to offer you a proposition.”

“Chao Tiān (To Surpass the Heavens)?”

Devil Ape burst out laughing.

“For you to actually call yourself by such an arrogant name in front of me…”

He looked down at Chao with a intimidating gaze.

“You have balls, I’ll admit that.”

Chao grinned savagely in return and took off his cloak and showed his off his stone like muscles.

“How about we decide if I’m being arrogant or not?”
