Hero of Darkness Chapter 1022 The Martial Emperor

Chapter 1022  The Martial Emperor

Kahn was left sundered in awe and disbelief as he saw Sleipnir's true form that spanned 5 kilometers in height. Just each of his wings spanned for more than a kilometer in the periphery alone.

Like the future Kahn said, the enormous size and the unique powers Sleipnir had made him no different than a metaphorical Divine Beast.

h.e.l.l, even Blackwall in his new Mythical Rank form wasn't as tall as Sleipnir.

But before he could ask another question, the future Kahn responded…

"Pegasus represents Life, Sentience, and Light.

Sleipnir on the other hand represents Darkness, s.p.a.ce, and Time.

They have inherited different powers from the original being born in Vantrea that was blessed by all the G.o.ds and G.o.ddesses hundreds of millions of years ago and made into a Guardian of the Realm of the Transcendents." spoke the Martial Emperor.

"The moment you take him out to the real world, his body will disappear from that sealed realm, teleport to your location, and will merge with this Sleipnir from the future completely.

Once both of them merge and turn into a single ent.i.ty… Then, he will be free to roam Vantrea without any issues." said future Kahn.

"He won't acknowledge someone who isn't strong or big enough to tame and ride him." stated future Kahn and the very next moment…

SNAP!

He snapped his fingers and soon the entire inner world turned into a vast 400-kilometer-wide battlefield with billions of soldiers from different cla.s.ses, armors, and weapons; fighting in the name of their different empires.

Kahn could see that this battlefield had at least 6 different empires based on the species and their insignia as they watched this scene from the Stratosphere of Vantrea.

Thousands of wars.h.i.+ps attacked each other, and hundreds of them were destroyed and left as mere debris on the battlefield.

Hundreds of Saints, the beings who were rarely seen fighting in such large-scale battles were fighting against the enemy forces, devastating both the ground and the sky.

And among this chaos of utter devastation, lay more than 3 billion mauled and severed corpses, mostly belonging to the forces of the 6 empires.

A macabre scenery of destruction and shredded corpses lay in front of Kahn.

This was a scale of battle Kahn had never seen let alone imagined in his life.

Many of the Saints even had their domains active, meaning that they were 5th-stage saint rank and above.

And their target… was just a single empire that they had allied against.

Yes, all these billions of soldiers and hundreds of powerful saints had united against one single enemy.

"Wait! Is that the banner of the Rakos Empire?" asked Kahn, shocked to his core.

"Yes, it is. And these forces belong to the empires serving the G.o.ds.

Before you get even more surprised, let me tell you this…

This battle was happening after it had been more than 6 years since the Great War against Demon G.o.d started.

This was just 2 years after I saved and made a pact with Sleipnir in the original timeline." revealed future Kahn solemnly. "What?! Why were they attacking you instead of the Demon Empire?" asked Kahn with a flabbergasted countenance.

"Because regardless of species, most of the sentient beings are greedy and selfish.

Even in times of crisis and impending doom, everyone is p.r.o.ne to look for their own interests and survival rather than fight together as a whole.

That is the universal truth." spoke future Kahn in a contemplative tone.

Dhang!

However… A sudden storm of darkness erupted and shook the 100-kilometer radius just with the insurmountable pressure of terrifying world energy.

Neigh!

Neigh!

At the center of the battlefield, arose a 6-legged and two-winged figure as Sleipnir, adorning the warhorse armor across the ginormous body, made his entrance.

But in the very next moment… a ma.s.sive pillar of darkness condensed over his body and Kahn saw another ent.i.ty whose saint pressure alone spanned a 200-kilometer radius.

This was a ginormous humanoid figure, donning black armor and a helmet with golden outlines, similar to that of a knight.

A large cape purely made of floating crimson blood spread from this ent.i.ty's shoulders as his own fiery red eyes sent s.h.i.+vers to millions of soldiers of these empires.

Given the sheer size of this new arrival riding Sleipnir… Everyone within the 20-kilometer radius saw the t.i.tanic figure that seemed like an overlord of death, terrifying millions with its presence alone.

As for the saints who had much longer eyesight and normally flew in the sky… they were simply unable to move from sheer terror.

"What the h.e.l.l is this?!

Our Emperors and Heroes were supposed to fight him.

How come he is here?!" shouted a saint with the head of an elk as he spoke in a communication artifact that seemed to be present with all the other saints from different empires.

But the same sense of terror and shock wasn't shared by the defending empire.

The soldiers and Saints from the Rakos Empire started screaming their lungs out.

"Our Lord is here!! We're all saved!

All Hail…" shouted hundreds of millions of soldiers across this widespread battlefield in unison as they welcomed this almighty being…

"The Martial Emperor!" ----------------

The warcry of the soldiers and saints resonated across the entire 400-kilometer-wide battlefield as they screamed with joy and victorious feeling.

The light in their eyes shone brighter as if the battle was already won.

Current Kahn, who saw this as a mere spectator was too shocked and overwhelmed to even utter a single word.

"This was me at the peak of my strength as a Peak 8th-stage saint.

And my strength in this form was one of the reasons why the people of Rakos Empire who didn't wors.h.i.+p a single G.o.d accepted me as their Emperor." declared Future Kahn with a stern voice.

The current Kahn didn't have a single shred of doubt about this because the aura he felt from the Martial Emperor was something he felt only from the G.o.d of Darkness and Kravel in the new timeline.

Future Kahn looked so powerful, majestic, and so fearsome that he even made those Myrthical Rank monsters and t.i.tans look like small pets, like cats and rabbits.

He was already as big as Vildred, a Royal Dragon as far as height was concerned.

When facing someone of that caliber… People would rather run away in fear than even hope to fight him.

Martial Emperor also only wore armor and did not have a single weapon in hand…

Next, the scene progressed to the point that Martial Emperor started summoning something in his right hand…

Blip!

However, the scene suddenly stopped as future Kahn spoke…

"Let me stop you there… After this cutscene, everything is a huge spoiler for you and the readers." he iterated.

"As for Sleipnir's powers… you can find them out later."

"Why, what happened next?" asked current Kahn anyway…

Kahn realized that the future Kahn didn't earn the moniker of Martial Emperor for nothing. Just that he was hiding his powers from Kahn for the sake of not affecting the timeline negatively.

"Because after this moment…" spoke the future Kahn with a kingly voice…

"I used 'our' Divine Weapon."
