KING KAZA

As the banquet continued, Kyrios told Ren to sit with him on his table. There, there were the 4 elders, Kyrios, Plevria, Swaroi, and Kretan. Along with them there were also all of their disciples, Ren Envigoron. Zeus Theus, Fonias Flamesworth, and Vrochi Rain. Everyone looked at the table with all kinds of jealousy.

"We will now begin the grand world auction!" As everyone cheered, Kyrios told Ren that he could buy whatever fancied him. Ren nodded in acceptance. He was actually kind of happy. Auctions sounded fun.

"First up, the legendary sword of Gaia, a sword that has immense attack damage and can damage even Holy Masters!" Ren didn't really have any interest in that, seeing that he was already over the Holy Master rank. "Starting bid, 200,000 Nomi!" People started to bid left right and center.

"Hanro Kingdom 250,000!" "Troyakah Kingdom 310,000!" "Theus Kingdom, 10 million.." People looked back at the person who said that. It was Zeus Theos, who was sitting right next to Ren. '10 million? I don't even know of the "nomi" currency but isn't that too excessive compared to what the others were bidding?'

"Uh.. sold!" Just like this many things went by that didn't catch Ren's attention. He had bought only 2 things so far. The Moonlight Sword for Mintz and Kihilith Bow for Syfas, both strong weapons.

"The next item is one of the most prized in all the lands, The Ring of Darkness! A mysterious item that no one knows the value of or how it can be used. It can be trash or it can the world's greatest treasure, we don't know. The only thing we do know is, the amount of mana it releases is immense."

This item also did not interest Ren, until Crona spoke. [ This ring will be crucial for Universe Takeover ] 'What?!'

"Starting price... 100,000,000 Nomi!!" The faces of some people went pale. "What.." Ren also was surprised on the price, but on looking at Kyrios, he only saw a big smile back. Ren didn't really know what kingdom to say since he was independent. 'Ren, this is me, Kyrios. Your kingdom name will be Kyrios, my name.'

"Kyrios, 200,000,000!" People gawked in surprise. "Theos, 500,000,000!" Ren looked at Zeus, who had just tried to out bet him. "Cheh!" "Kyrios, 1 Billion!" Zeus stood up and slammed his hands on the table. "Who the hell do you think you are?!"

King Theus stood up immediately after. "Zeus, sit down!" Zeus scruffed in anger and sat back down. "Sold! To Kyrios!" The Ring that was on a platter like plate was given to Ren. He picked it up and put it on.

The ring itself, although it had a corny name, was very cool looking. It had miniature skulls embedded in it. As he put it on it fit perfectly onto his finger. [ Ring of Death God Acquired ] 'What?! A god?? What could this ring be?'

Soon after this, the auction ended. Kyrios told Ren that he had to do something important really quick and left immediately. Ren then looked around for the king of Suvarna. He knew what he was going to do once he found him. Immediately kill him. There was no need to think.

That had been one of his goals from the start. Though, Ren did think that killing him on a stage in front of people would be more satisfying, it would also be better for Ren to get his face out there to the world.

Why do kings train? Why do they want to become strong? It is because they want to lead their kingdom as a powerful leader. Power is what trust is built on. It is also to fight off any threats to the kingdom, but many kings don't do it for those reasons there. Protecting your country and your land and blah blah blah. They don't care about that crap.

War's were very rare at the time, and they had good enough protection over their kingdoms to not worry about beast invasions. The biggest reason why kings trained until their bones broke was for... THE ANNUAL KING KAZA! A legendary tournament held by the Theos kingdom since ancient times.

A tournament where all kings willing to, fight for the title of Supreme Emperor. At Least thats what its meant to be. In these times, no one fights for the title of Supreme Emperor anymore. That spot is always taken by King Theos, and to try and take that spot is just stupendous.

King Theos' power was unknown, but he had never lost a match since birth. He had also won 21 King Kaza's, every single one since he became king at age 20 except for one. People did not fight for that anymore, they instead fought for their spot on the list. The top 100. If you even manage to step into that spot, you will become an ally of the Theos kingdom.

Being an Ally of the Theos kingdom is a monumental task. If you manage to befriend the Theos kingdom, your kingdom will receive countless things such as protection, finance, and mana cores. The more you move up in the top 100, the more things you will get for your kingdom and yourself.

Most kings do not care about much of that though, excluding the allyship of course. They mostly want to go up the ranks due to competition. Ego. Face. To keep their pride in themselves and their ego.

Even one move up is a brag for another year to come until the next King Kaza. When Ren heard of this, he knew the king of Suvarna must also be competing. Even though he was not a king, he needed to fight in this competition.

Back in the Suvarna King, Revolus', living space. "Merlin, this time I have finally broken into the Master rank after going into the New World. A treacherous place! I will be sure to rise up and become the top 100! Our kingdom now needs more protection than ever with the constant revolts going on!"

Ren went to Kyrios for help. "I need to fight in this competition!" After explain why he wanted to fight in the competition, Kyrios denied him. "There is no way for you to get in. The slots are already full and even if they weren't, it would be difficult to get you in! Your not a king!"

"What?! Fine... I have an idea.." Ren walked out of Kyrios' living space and looked at the names of the kings participating in the tournament. He picked out a random one and travelled to their Kingdom. Some kings like Revolus, the king of Suvarna, stayed in Theos, where the tournament was held, for weeks until it was finally time, but some stayed in their own kingdom until the last day.

The kingdom Ren was going to was called Heracles kingdom. The king that was competing was named Heracles. 'If the king is so arrogant to name his country after himself, than he must be a the perfect person.."

Ren arrived to the kingdom. He looked over the puny kingdom that was only slightly smaller than Suvarna from the sky. He had acquired many more, stronger abilities in his training. "Calamity..." On saying this, a large see through dome, identical to the Obliterating Darkness Bomb, arose around the entire kingdom at once.

In the next second, a sharp but quiet noise arose in the back of the ear drums of Ren. That sharp noise was followed by a loud and deep thud before the entire dome went white. The sound calmed down. The entire kingdom was engulfed by the spell but only one thing was damaged, the king, Heracles.

Ren had used the spell on the entire kingdom to not miss his target. The king of Heracles, Heracles, was obliterating where he stood. After this, Ren told Kyrios what he did. Kyrios laughed it off. "Well good thing he was a bad guy haha! I'll try to get you in as much as I can kid!"

After weeks of waiting, the anticipation was getting to Ren, but it was finally time for the KING KAZA to begin!
