Battle of Ascension

Chapter 508: Count Down (4)



13:47:55

It was the countdown before the third phase Battle of Ascension started. If the other guilds were waiting nervously, Randy was celebrating his wedding with his two wives. Since the Battle of Ascension, having more than one wife was normal.

Before, he promised Zhen Yi to hold their wedding. But the problem with the Dragon Dynasty made them could not hold the wedding at that time. However, he now "solved" the problem and it was time to fulfill his promise before the third phase started.

Randy himself did not know what would happen when the countdown was over. He just did not want to have regrets, that was why he held the wedding before the third phase.

Happy Guild sent the invitation to the guild which close to Happy Guild. Along with the wedding, the ceremony for the establishment of Divine Empyrean.

During the discussion which lasted for a month, everyone came to the conclusion. They decided Randy would be the King of Divine Empyrean Kingdom. It was not as Randy's expectation, a normal country that President as the head, but a kingdom with King as the head.

It happened yesterday night, Randy, Aveline, Zhen Yi, and Long Xinya were back yesterday morning. When the night, Empyrean Council summoned Randy.

Empyrean Council was a form of government that was established after a long discussion. Below the King, it was Empyrean Council which tasked helping the King in development of Divine Empyrean.

The member of the Empyrean Council chosen from the top figures of the guild who joined. Wisen, Long Xinya, Udin, Pristine, and Marlin were the members chosen from the Happy Guild. Marlin was representing the non-human races in Divine Empyrean.

Oubin and Hermione were chosen from the Sacred Tortuga. It was supposed to be Limera, Sacred Tortuga sent Hermione. Justice Knight sent Anna to represent Justice Knight in council.

Another two spots were given to Royal Knight. Yes, Royal made a shocking decision in the last minute. They decided to join Divine Empyrean five days ago and got two spots in Council. Royal Knight sent two royal advisors to join the council.

10 spots filled the Empyrean Council, there were two spots left. These two spots were given to the medium and small guilds who joined. The council decided to give these two precious spots for the small and medium guilds.

Whether they wanted it or not, the medium and the small guilds had to unite and choose their representative in councils. This way, it would be easier to unite the small and the medium guild who just joined.

This was how the Empyrean Council formed. After the council formed, it was the time to choose the head. Everyone agreed to choose the head by vote and the result was clear, Randy was chosen.

Yesterday night, Empyrean Council summoned Randy to tell this.

Before Randy came, Long Xinya already told the others, "He will refuse! We have to think of a way to convince him."

Sure enough, as soon as Randy was being told he would be the King, he refused which surprised everyone, Happy Guild members were an exception.

"I refuse!"

"Reason? Tell us the reason!?" Oubin almost lost his temper if not because of Hermione.

"The reason is simple, I am not fit to be a King! I want to be the Supreme General who led the armies, I don't want to be a King! As you know, I don't like and not good with a political talk! I propose my father to be King!" It was Randy's answer. He told it uprightly and frankly.

The answer left everyone speechless. The two advisors from the Royal Knight surprised. They thought the King was definitely Randy, it was the position belonged to Happy Guild guild leader.

They thought Long Xinya was joking with them when she said Randy would refuse. It was out of their expectation Divine Empyrean had not yet reached an agreement that Randy would be the King. They thought King was determined after the announcement of establishment Divine Empyrean.

Markus, one of the Royal advisors of Royal Knight guild let out a chuckle which attracted everyone's attention, including Randy.

"Cough! Temporary, I will call you Happy guild leader as you haven't become our King, is it okay?" Markus stood up as he spoke.

Randy nodded his head. The Divine Empyrean had not yet established formally, so their talk was still a plan.

"My name is Markus and I am a former Royal Advisor of Royal Knight Guild. Happy guild leader, you said you are not suitable to be a King because you thought so?" Markus threw a question.

Randy frowned, he did not get why this Markus asked him this, but he still nodded his head.

Getting the reply, Markus smiled, "Happy Guild leader, you thought you are not suitable for King position. However, the one who can judge you, whether you are fitting to be a King or not, is not yourself, but us, Divine Empyrean's people. You thought you are unbefitting to be our King, however, we, Divine Empyrean's people choose you as King."

Randy fell into silence when these words entered his ears. He could not refute Markus.

Markus did not stop here and glanced toward two people, the representative from the small guild and the medium guild. Kalyan and Andre, these two were chosen by the small guilds and the mediums guild to represent them.

Andre was a middle-aged man in his early forties while Kalyan was younger, a man in his mid-thirties. Andre and Kalyan looked at each other and nodded their heads.

Andre stood up and spoke respectfully to the confused young man, Randy, "My name is Andre and I am here as the representative of many guilds. I come here bringing their voice, "We only want Randy Christian as our King!" This is the message I bring from them!"

After saying this, Andre sat back. What Andre said was not an exaggeration move to convince Randy. It was the truth, the medium and the small guilds joined Divine Empyrean because of Happy Guild and Randy.

After those words came out, Randy mused for a moment. However, to be a King, this meant he was shouldering not a small responsibilities on his shoulder.

Just as he wanted to refute, Hermione clapped her hand loudly, "All right, Divine King Randy you are our King now!"

After saying those words, Hermione stood up and followed by the others. After that, they knelt down before Randy and performed an oath they prepared.

This was how Randy was chosen as Divine King of Divine Empyrean.

Back to the present, Divine King of Divine Empyrean's wedding. Many guilds came to congratulate Randy and Evergreen City was crowded with seas of people.

Of course, they came not only to congratulate Randy. Tonight, right after the wedding, Divine Empyrean would be formally stood as a Kingdom.

Randy with his black suit, Zhen Yi with her bright gown, and Long Xinya with her red bright gown were the center of attention. The color was symbolizing the three on the battlefield. They chose this based on their armor.

Randy who was known with his black armor and shadow movement. Zhen Yi who was known with blue armor and Ice Elemental Power. Long Xinya who was known with bright red armor and her Fire Elemental Power.

Of course, Aveline also participated with her angel-like gown. The wedding continued until 12 pm, this was another moment that everyone had been waiting for.

In the center of Evergreen City, there was a 20 meters high stone platform stood. Randy accompanied by Zhen Yi, Long Xinya, and Aveline walked up the platform. Behind them, the Empyrean Council followed.

Right on the top platform, there was an altar, and surprisingly Old Man Bai was waiting there with a strange sphere in his hand. The strange sphere was Randy's weapon. Right beside Old Man Bai, there was an altar.

When Randy and the others came up, Old Man Bai put the sphere on the altar and approached Randy with a blue dagger in his hand. The blue dagger in Old Man Bai's hand was the last Mythical Grade Weapon that Randy's weapon needed to evolve the sphere into Divine Grade Weapon.

Yes, Randy planned to use the special phenomenon which happened when he evolved his weapon to Divine Grade. Randy planned to use this phenomenon for the establishment of Divine Empyrean.

Randy received the blue dagger and walked to the altar accompanied by Zhen Yi, Long Xinya, and Aveline. They stood on Randy's right while Old Man Bai followed Randy from his left.

Randy stopped before the altar as he raised the blue dagger.

"I am, Divine King Randy Christian, hereby declare the establishment of Divine Empyrean!"

Whoosh!

Randy stabbed the blue dagger to the sphere. In the first three seconds, nothing happened.

However, after three seconds, a blinding light burst out from the sphere. It shocked everyone who witnessed this. They were wondering about the use of the sphere and finally, they got to know the use of the sphere.

The light illuminated Evergreen City for a minute. After a minute, the light subsided. Just as everyone thought it was over, there was another bright light descended from the sky.

The light bathed Randy, Zhen Yi, Long Xinya, Aveline, Old Man Bai, and the sphere as the center.

The spectators could only look in awe with the spectacle before their eyes. Randy who was wearing a King was really looked alike with his title as Divine King.

Today, tonight, it was an unforgettable moment for the Divine Empyrean's people. The establishment of Divine Empyrean would be fantastic tales for their later generation.

Randy and the others bathed in light for five minutes. After the light subsided, cheers resounded through the whole Evergreen City. From Today onward, Divine Empyrean stood as a kingdom.

After the sacred ceremony, everyone continued with the celebration. The celebration continued until the morning. The countdown of the last phase Battle of Ascension also got closer and closer.
