Chapter 50: The Thunderous Phoenix King: Trials of Power and Destiny

After Kurogami Masayuki emerged victorious against the ruthless warrior known as The Goblin Bearing Celestial Destiny, he was about to depart from the "Chamber of Trials" when a resonant voice echoed gently into his ears.

"Where are you headed, Kurogami Masayuki?"

Kurogami Masayuki turned his gaze towards the source of this pleasant, soothing sound. His eyes met an exceedingly beautiful figure. A man, youthful and handsome, posed the question to him. The man had a large yet graceful physique, clad in attire of a singular white hue. His gaze was sharp but not menacing like that of the warrior, The Goblin Bearing Celestial Destiny; instead, his eyes, along with his overall appearance, demeanor, and attire, exuded authority yet not entirely intimidation, coupled with an approachability that did not invite disdain.

"Huh? Are you asking me? I was about to step out of this room. I've completed the trial within this chamber! There's nothing left for me in here, so I'm leaving. Farewell to you, then!"

"Just a moment, won't you want to claim your reward, Kurogami Masayuki?" The man clad in white attire queried Kurogami Masayuki, his eyes fixed on Kurogami Masayuki's handsome face. He was intensely observing the expressions and behavior of Kurogami Masayuki.

"Ah, I forgot! How could I forget something so important? Perhaps my memory hasn't been quite sharp lately! So, you're the deity who will bestow upon me a magical power system that I desire, even if it's one with devastating destruction, right, the deity in the white robe?"

"Call me the 'White Judge of the Abyss,' for that is the name for you to address me!"

"My apologies, 'White Judge of the Abyss,' I might have been too exuberant and breached etiquette and respect for someone of higher stature than me!" Kurogami Masayuki responded with a softly spoken voice. Perhaps he wasn't defending his lack of carefulness; perhaps he was simply too elated after defeating The Goblin Bearing Celestial Destiny.

"I accept your apology, Thane of Light, Kurogami Masayuki! Now, tell me, what magical power system do you desire me to bestow upon you?" The "White Judge of the Abyss" asked Kurogami Masayuki slowly, with a voice just loud enough to hear. He was patiently awaiting Kurogami Masayuki's response.

"Well, let me think! " Kurogami Masayuki fell into a rather long period of silence, then he looked straight into the mesmerizing sea-blue eyes of the "White Judge of the Abyss," the handsome and sophisticated deity facing him, and said: "I want the most powerful magical power system for me, a system with incredibly terrifying destructive power - the power of thunder magic!"

"Very well, Kurogami Masayuki, this is easy for me!"

As the "White Judge of the Abyss" finished this statement, Kurogami Masayuki felt his mind, soul, and body rapidly and distinctly transforming. His body seemed to contain a current of electricity of extremely high-intensity coursing throughout. This current increasingly made him feel like a creature with enough electrical intensity to destroy an entire populous town.

"Kurogami Masayuki, from now on, you shall have a new name, this name is 'The Thunderous Phoenix King.' Now, 'The Thunderous Phoenix King,' fly out of this chamber and prepare for the arduous journey ahead of you!"

'The Thunderous Phoenix King' soared out of the chamber, emitting a massive electric current all over - it looked powerful and majestic.

As they exited the "Chamber of Trials," the potent sensation of the newfound power still pervaded 'The Thunderous Phoenix King's' body. Wherever he flew, the ground seemed to tremble under the destructive force of the newfound power bestowed upon him. In his mind, thoughts of strength and limitless potential began to burgeon.

It made him stronger, but it also posed new challenges. The power 'The Thunderous Phoenix King' had just received was not only a reward but also a great responsibility, a new step in his journey.

Ahead lay new challenges, adventures fraught with danger. He couldn't stop here; he had to continue to explore, experience, and prove his worth in a world full of mysteries and perils.

Questions about the ultimate goal, the true meaning of his power, and his responsibilities began to stir in 'The Thunderous Phoenix King's' mind. But amid those thoughts, one thing was undeniable: he was a new, powerful deity, ready to face any challenge.

The imposing door of the "Chamber of Trials" swung open before Mizuchi Haruka and Snow Sky-Dog. They had been waiting for Kurogami Masayuki outside the chamber. Seeing him, both young deities greeted him joyfully.

"Big brother, you've stepped out of that trial chamber! You've conquered that rigorous test! I was truly worried about you, Kurogami Masayuki!" Snow Sky-Dog spoke with urgency and concern.

"No need to worry and fuss over me like that, snow wolf, you're too much of a 'lady,' Snow Sky-Dog!"

"'Lady'? Are you too confident, Kurogami Masayuki? We all know our opponent fought with almost absolute power in that chamber! For an adversary with such almost absolute power, and you think my concern is 'ladylike,' Kurogami Masayuki?" Snow Sky-Dog was both surprised and indignant at Kurogami Masayuki's jesting remark.

"Indeed, my adversary was formidable, but I defeated him. You don't need to worry so much, Snow Sky-Dog!"

"So, what magical power system did you choose for yourself, Kurogami Masayuki?" Mizuchi Haruka asked Kurogami Masayuki, she too was very curious about Kurogami Masayuki's most powerful magical power system.

"Here it is, you two! My most powerful magical power system!" Kurogami Masayuki transformed his body into a thunderous phoenix, exuding the timeless beauty of a warrior's soul.

With his newfound power, Kurogami Masayuki felt ready to face any challenge and danger on the next journey. Accompanying him were Mizuchi Haruka and Snow Sky-Dog, two deities who had always been by his side and supported him throughout.

Stepping out of the "Chamber of Trials," they felt a strange sensation, the anticipation of further discoveries, challenges, and dangers. Their adventure was not just a personal journey but also a noble mission, a fight for justice and peace in all three worlds.

A new door had opened for them, inviting them into new chapters, and new encounters, and to continue writing their story. In their potential and strength, lay opportunities and challenges waiting to be faced and overcome.

With this fresh turn of events, the tale of Kurogami Masayuki and his companions would continue to unfold, bringing surprises and thrills to the readers, in the vast and magical worlds.
