Assigned (1)
On that morning, Sayge then brings Rangga into the Temple of Chronus hall as Rangga then will enter the Pit as he will be assigned to one of the Floors.
For story short, the Pit is the innards room inside the Titan, ChronoAxis's corpse body that consists of eight parts (floors) as the Floor's name itself is based on the name of the Sins.
< 1st Floor: Wrath > = Head
< 2nd Floor: Pride > = Neck
< 3rd Floor: Greed > = Upper Half
< 4th Floor: Glutonny > = Stomach
< 5th Floor: Sloth > = Stomach
< 6th Floor: Lust > = Lower Half
< 7th Floor: Envy > = Lower Half
< 8th Floor: Lost > = Lower Part
These Floors are the place where the Candidates will battle each other as they also will fight the monsters that were spawned inside there as ChronoAxis's body also consists of monsters that he ate throughout time.
These monsters will be the ones that will increase the Candidates power as the candidate will absorb the essence of ChronoAxis's Mana from the dead monsters as the Candidates will slowly be adjusted to his Mana in order to become ChronoAxis's suitable vessel.
" It seems that is the whole point of this battle royale jig ... " Rangga says as he still wonders why did his past versions want him to enter the pit as he searches the reason within the past memories he acquired.
"( Shoot, I need more memories to sate my curiosity ... )" Rangga says as he bumped into a red giant as the giant stares at him.
" Ooopps sorry, I didn't mean to ... huh ... " Rangga looks at the giant as he recognizes him.
" Y ... You ... " Rangga says as the giant that attacks him as he blocks it with his shield.
As the giant's sword was blocked by the Shield, he then uses his other arms as he attacks Rangga with the other blade as Rangga then uses the < Hard Fists Shield > in order to block the swords as he then heads buts the giant's stomach but was blocked by its muscles.
" You blasted human ... watch where you're hitting !!! " the red giant says as he headbutts Rangga while Rangga then blocks the headbutt with his headbutt to minimize the incoming damage as he punches the giant, hitting him hard as he creates a distance between them.
"( Yup ... it's him ... )" Rangga says as he was certain that the person he met right now is the person he used to recognize in the previous Timeline.
"( The red four-armed giant, the half Deviant and the Descendant of Asura .. )"
"( The Giant Martial Juggernaut, Hashra ) " Rangga says as he calls the giant's name in his mind as he then asks the System about his level.
< Name: Hashra >
< Level: 23 >
< Race: Giant, Oni, Deviant >
< *Label: Safe (Not Opponent) >
.....
"( I see ... ) " Rangga says as he compares it to his level which is
Seeing that, Rangga asks his forgiveness as he didn't mean to but Hashra ignores it as he continues to attack him as much in order to exact the Giant's Punishment towards Rangga which Rangga then has to respond by using his skill.
" < Reflect Shield > !!!! " Rangga calls his skill as the skill reflects the incoming damage back to Hashra as he feels the pain from his own attacks.
"Grrfffhhhhhhh !!!!! " Hashra says as he feels the pain from his body while Rangga then approaches him, asking him if he's alright which he replied by telling him that it's fine as he then suggests to continue their battle while Rangga stops him as he sees the other gazed their eyes upon them and tells Hashra to wait for them to enter the pit as Rangga tells him that he will probably battle him there as Rangga then senses the change in the crowd.
" Hashra ... was it? " Rangga ask Hashra as he questioned if that was his name which Hashra replies with a nod while Rangga explains that he hear others saying his name before he walked here as he then tells him that the Ritual is about to begin.
As the people in the hall went silent, suddenly the large door in the hall's center opened, entering many administrators including Sayge (he is still mind-controlled [4 hours left]) as they all enter the hall bringing a being that floats in the air as the bring is looked like a black smoke with both eyes glowing in it.
" Who is that? " the people ask as the administrator then tells them that the person there is ChronoAxis himself which makes the Candidates inside shout as they were all surprised.
"( He's in his Soul Form, isn't he? ) " Rangga says in his mind as suddenly a voice tells him.
"( Correct ..., he's been like that after being defeated in the Second Holy War ... )" Rangga Twelve comes to him as he shows himself to Rangga.
"( Where were you these days? )" Rangga asks him as he wonders why he and the other past versions are unavailable since he kinda needs their help on understanding the situation while Twelve then answers him, telling that he was actually dealing with some things with the help of Rangga 69.
"( I see ... ) " Rangga says as he looks at Twelve while at that moment, ChronoAxis then gives a speech to the Candidates.
" Greetings, great Candidates ... " ChronoAxis says.
" Brave warriors from every realm ... "
" Today I was so happy to see you here in order to participate in my Ritual ... " ChronoAxis says as he shows all of his Candidates his memories.
" Wha is this ...? " said one of the candidates as he sees his memories which then creates a crowded voice in the candidates there while Rangga sees the memory as he sees ChronoAxis being impaled by a Dragonic Spear by the Diviners and then sees a Shadowy Figure that talked to ChronoAxis as the figure tells him to do this ritual.
"( Wait, that silhouette ... )" Rangga says as he recognizes the silhouette/figure's armor.
"( Don't tell me .... )" Rangga says as ChronoAxis begins to explain.
" Just as you all see in my memories .. "
"On the verge of my death, I was given a Vision ... "
" That one day ... a being will come to me and become my perfect Vessel ... " ChronoAxis says as he shows his Vision towards the Candidates as they all see ChronoAxis seeing himself in a more humanoid body.
While he shows them all of that, the people there then ask him why did he tell them these Visions as they wonder if he had another purpose suddenly ChronoAxis then looks at Rangga which makes him shiver as Rangga looked back at him while smiling.
" Is everything okay my Lord ..? " said one of the administrators as ChronoAxis continue his speech while Rangga continue his smiles towards ChronoAxis as Rangga Twelve also looks at him with a grin.
...
.....
"( Now do you believe what I show you ... hmmm??? ) Twelve says while looking at ChronoAxis as he seems to know him for some time.
