Sacrifice: Time of Mine

The Holy Imperial Land was a place that worships God Centre. In the middle was considered the tallest and most profound tower in the entire Flasse, Heaven's Path.

Since the people of the Holy Imperial Land look at Centre as their God, their God's place is considered heaven for them. That is why it is called Heaven's Path, it is the only way of getting into heaven.

At that moment, the peaceful Holy Imperial Land was visited by the Conqueress.

In contrast to the Darea Kingdom around Mt. Hamis, the Holy Imperial Land was so peaceful that if the two places were compared, one can call them heaven and hell.

The people gathered as they looked up to the Overlordess, Conqueress Darea Irdona!

Her long garments attached to her skimpy black clothes were dancing along with the wind. She stood just below the clouds and above the Holy Imperial Land as if there was a ground below her.

She was unmoving, waiting for someone above her descend.

Holy Imperial Land is called imperial for a reason. In a place, the highest people are always the Royalties. Even in the Continent now called Darea, this tradition does not change.

The reason is simple. Power flows through bloodline and so, the hierarchy of the world is made out of families over families. The highest is the Royal Family.

Only Rank Es Elementalists are the exceptions. One is enough to topple a Supreme Royal Family who is filled with Rank Eys.

Bloodline does not produce Rank Es, that is why Rank Es is legend while Rank Eses is just a myth.

Even if a couple who are both Rank Es made a child. That child will be sure to become Rank Ey but reaching Rank Es is up to them.

In the Holy Imperial Land, God Centre is enough to become the only ruler that even the Supreme Royal Families were his devout worshippers. Because even among Rank Es, there are Elementalist who are above them

For example, was the Conqueress. Under her were the Nine Generals who are all Apexial Beasts, stronger than most Rank Es. But even then, they were at her mercy, all nine of them!

Under God Centre were a few Supreme Royal Families but because of his existence, they could only become nobles. There were a few Rank Es Elementalists that were the leaders of these Supreme Noble Families but no one confronted the Conqueress.

Every powerhouse at that moment had a mutual understanding. They were only waiting for one person to arrive.

At that moment, the clouds above opened as sunlight came out. This light has a holy radiance that people want to put themselves under it. A shadow descended amidst that holy light and came down was a perfect man.

His body was filled with beauty that it was hard to compare him to another of his own species. That was because this man is God Centre!

Upon his arrival, the people of the Holy Imperial Lands all bowed down and kowtowed. The reason why they didn't fear the Conqueress was because of his presence. In truth, they were even happy that Darea was here since they knew that their God would reveal his presence to them.

Even the other Rank Es lowered their heads. Although they were in the sky too, just a little bit lower than Darea, they felt no shame lowering themselves. 

After the initial worshipping, they began to cheer and chanted God Centre's name filled with reverence.

"Holy God of Heavens and Earth!"

"Holy God of Life and Death!"

"Holy God of the Worlds!"

They repeated.

The Holy Imperial Land was vast and wider than Haliviana. But even then, it was filled with cities and people on it. Their numbers easily reached the numbers of ten million!

And as of now, these people were unified as they sang their worship. This loud worship would pierce the eardrums of commoners. But even so, they continued without thinking of the consequences.

However, it was only for a little before the expressionless God Centre put up his hand which stopped the echoing worship at once.

This power. This is the power of God Centre, one that is believed to be the strongest in the world!

The commoners who had their ears bleeding didn't bat an eye as they were healed under the radiance of God Centre's holy light. Just his presence was enough to have miracles everywhere over the land. How could they not revere him as their God?

"Darea Irdona, what is your purpose in coming here?" God Centre gently spoke but his voice majestically echoed over the vast land as if he was heaven itself. For him, it was just as simple as speaking but for his devout followers, they shed tears, hearing his voice after decades.

Darea didn't care about the fuss. For her, this so-called God is just another Rank Es under her. However, now that she was in front of him, she had to accept, this God Centre isn't ordinary.

If they were to fight, she would have a hard time. This irritated her.

"Centre, I want to ask somethi-" Darea had her usual closed eyes while she was speaking. But midway, she realized that she was once again in the timeless world. If her eyes were open, one could see that she was rolling them in annoyance.

'This Time Elementalist is really abusing their power.' she internally complained.

However, she found something interesting. The world was black and white. This means that time was stopped. The Holy Imperial Land was black and white, the people were black and white. However, what interests her was that in front of her, God Centre was also black and white.

"Hahahaha, so I am the only one?" she heartily laughed. Her voice was enchanting and if others heard this, they would be entranced and confused at the same time. The domineering Overbearer is this cute?

Afterward, color and time came back to the world.

"Hm?" the expressionless God Centre was puzzled. He just heard Darea say something and stopped. Even her position slightly changed. In front of others, nothing was new but for him, it was clear as day, 'It shouldn't be my imagination.' he thought.

"Centre, do you know that time stopped just now?" Darea casually asked before she disappeared as if she was just a hallucination.

"Time? What are you sayi-"

BOOM!!*

The holy light disappeared as the perfect man was thrown like a cannonball into a fifty-meter tall wall, easily breaking it and continuing its way kilometers down into the ground.

One attack made the earth shook that caused the land to break, destroy buildings, and kill countless people.
