Everything will be my way!

Chapter 259

{I won? I WON!} – Kyon had never felt such relief. If Timothy had been at least a stage stronger, more than likely, he wouldn’t have collapsed. If he weren’t so cautious, if he had recklessly launched a counterattack, something that stupid Kiyan would have done, he would have stifled most of the energy that the sphere released and would have won after all. Well, ignorance is bliss. The rest of the opponents were little wimps, which means the Stones were going to take first place! It was amazing! His crazy idea had worked, damn it!

The only reason Kyon won was the ultimate technique he had gained when his unique body of the void completed the 1st stage. The annihilation sphere was the crown of all his efforts in cultivating the unique body of the void from the moment of its conception. Normally, the darkness and the light elements combined create space. Who would ever think that all the nine elements combined create time? This incredible technique could somehow “request” additional energy from the atmosphere, combining all the nine elements into an incomprehensible entity of time that erased everything it interacted with.

The attribute of time has the best penetrating power of all the elements and their combinations (the attribute of space is the worst in this regard). It can penetrate through many layers of defense even if the opponent is 2 phases stronger.

Kyon had tried more than once to combine all the nine elements the way he did with the darkness and the light to create space, but nothing ever came of it. Apparently, he was missing something to create the legendary attribute, the secret that only the body of the void knew.

But until recently, he had believed that his body was based on space. He had read about it in myths and fairy tales, but it turned out to be much more surprising and unimaginable! After Kyon created the unique body of the void, it just happened so that the fundamental ingredients (composing the nucleus) of the Archangel and the Archdevil bodies included all nine the elements! The bodies he had given to Juno, Byron (Kronos), and the Dragon god body were quite different. They were all with the help of the cycle of creation (using the nine elements), but their nuclei contained only several elements.

Thus, Kyon had become the only owner of the unique body specialized in the attribute of time.

With a fierce and triumphant face, Kyon raised his sword, his sly glance directed at Kara.

The audience had just watched Kyon Stone defeat the invincible opponent by himself, without using despicable, dirty tricks, like the firecrackers. No one could say now that his victory was undeserved. And above all, he had used a technique that included all the nine elements! It was so unbelievable that stunned spectators jumped from their seats one second, trying to make out the lean figure of the winner, and took their seats again the next, deeply absorbed in thought. The silence lasted for about a minute.

«My son… He has won?» – Diana murmured, crying tears of joy.

Bai drilled the strange little demon, who had caused his family a lot of trouble, with his gaze when he felt a sudden surge of warmth in his soul as if he could not decide who was before him: the family curse or his beloved grandson who had miraculously saved them from the desperate situation.

{Damned monster!} – Juno realized for the umpteenth time, her heart trembling. When the grenades failed to harm Timothy, she thought that Kyon was going to lose. What else could he do? The mere thought that his failure was inevitable, that he might even die was unbearable for her. However, against all logic, he did the impossible… Yet again. Her feelings were a tangle of envy, happiness, delight, shock, and something else… She was convinced that he was capable of doing any miracle, just like Lovr. This thought kept niggling at her, making her heart beat faster.

XiaoBai squealed with delight like a newborn piglet and clapped loudly, initiating tumultuous applause and a standing ovation. He could swear they would never see anything like this again. Kyon’s aura, his technique, his victory: in a word, it was a remarkable show!

At this moment, the Stones were the happiest people in the world.

In contrast, the Browns looked like death. The only exception was Cait, who kept casting admiring glances at Kyon.

«TIMOTHY!» – After some long contemplating, Herman gave a roar of rage and rushed to his son…

Kyon gave Kara a wink and casually headed to the Stones’ platform.

{Look at this rascal! What a jerk! A villain! He is a fucking genius created to amaze me! Congratulations, you did it. I am very impressed! You got your way in the end… Boy, the princess will take you home to her palace!} – Kara beamed, her eyes wide with amazement. She didn’t dream that her slave would be so gifted! The princess was having big plans for him. Would she let him become even stronger to be her bodyguard? Or would she…

As for Vlada, she was determined to take the goddess’s messenger to the palace to check him out and decide what to do with him. She hadn’t expected to find such a gem of the human race in some average kingdom. Was he really the goddess’s messenger as those losers screamed? Who was his master? But the most burning question was how to take him away without anyone noticing?

Meanwhile, Gina and Lana, the sect leaders, had also made plans. Such talent happened once in never! His arrogant, cocky, confident nature, along with his silver tongue, gave the young genius a certain charm. His spirit, courage, ingenuity, ability to kill an opponent with a single blow fully met their unreasonably high expectations! They were still impressed by his trick with the fake relic, which happened to be some crafty explosive. But above all, they appreciated his skills: the unseen supreme aura, flexibility, speed, supernatural agility, and mysterious technology, incredibly beautiful and equally deadly. All this made Kyon the ideal candidate for the future sect leader!

Even Gina, who despised men, had made a rare exception to the rule. The boy’s talent and character outweighed his disadvantage of being a male. An idea flashed across her mind to change his gender, but she quickly dismissed it and decided to enroll Kyon to her sect. The genius who had stolen good luck from heaven was bound to lead the Virgo sect to world domination!

«You must do everything possible to recruit him. It’s our top priority!» – Lana ordered the envoy of their sect.

Gina ordered about the same thing.

«Yes, Your Excellence!» – Both envoys answered in a reverent tone.

Suddenly, the two green broadcast triangles intersected. Gina’s and Lana’s eyes met. For the first time in many years, the sworn enemies had seen each other. They instantly released ferocious aura that resembled a raging ocean of infinite energy. The spatial triangles crashed and crumbled under pressure…

Kyon walked up the steps to the platform where Diana and Bai had been waiting for him. If he were a typical teenager, he would be mortified and wish the ground would swallow him up.

«Kyon…» – The beautiful woman approached her son and raised her hand as if to slap him across the face.

Kyon tactlessly bounced back. – «Leave it out…»

«My prodigal son…» – Diana came closer to Kyon and hugged him tight. – «I was worried sick about you! I was afraid that you might get killed…»

Kyon looked slightly taken aback. She had casually ignored his obvious reluctance to bond with her and just… hugged him. Her embrace was warm and pleasant, and above all, sincere.

Kyon couldn’t understand why Diana had such feelings for him. Was she kind and compassionate? The historical records on her relationship with Yurich proved the opposite. Was she a loving mother, willing to forgive even an adopted child? That’s pure nonsense! Her children didn’t strike Kyon as spoiled with love, care and attention. What remained? Jurich? Did Kyon remind her of her husband? The idea seemed gross and exciting at the same time.

Bai stood between his daughter and his grandson, giving Kyon a black looks. – «My dear daughter, this demon had committed too many criminal misdeeds that can’t be forgiven so easily! He has to explain himself and tell us where he has hidden Dinah Stone’s body. After that, he has to repent, kneeling before her grave, to atone for what he has done!» – Bai was ready to forgive Kyon but only under certain conditions.

Diana nodded hesitantly. She didn’t know what to think about this difficult boy. At least, she was not mistaken in believing that he was their hope for a bright future. When Kyon was near, Diana felt safe, peaceful and calm. She felt the same Yurich was around. In her heart, she had forgiven Kyon for all his misdeeds just like she once forgave her husband, turning a blind eye to his weird obsessions.

«We’ll talk about it later.» – Kyon grunted, leaning on the railing.

Bail and Kyon glared at each other for a long moment. The tense atmosphere on the platform made everyone feel uneasy. Only Stephanie sympathized with Lovr, who was in all respects perfect for her. Did she have at least a tiny chance to get to know him better?

Bai’s shoulders sagged wearily. Arguing was pointless. They would talk tomorrow.

Kyon knew that there would be no conversation tomorrow, he had other plans. Besides, he had no intention to develop a good relationship with the evil old man who had ordered his murder. All Kyon wanted from the Stones were 10 million spheres that Bay was going to get as a reward for the first prize the family had taken in the tournament. His pragmatist approach would definitely upset Diana…

Meanwhile, Herman was hurrying to the hospital with Timothy in his arms. He no longer cared about his reputation, about the 30+ rank their family was going to take, the fine they had to pay that would ruin them completely… The only thing that really mattered to him was that his son was alive.

Elder Brown announced the last summon 3 on 3 against the Romanovs, hoping the family would get at least the 10th rank, but without the top fighters, his attempt failed miserably…

Then it was the Stones’ turn to fight and earn the points. The defense had gained them five victories. However, six successful summons guaranteed that the Stone family would get the 1st rank. In fact, the tournament rules and regulations ensured that the Stones would get the 1st rank even if there were no more fighters in the families of the 2nd-49th ranks. All they would have to do was to summon the family of 50th rank. The ranking system had been honed to perfection for hundreds of years of the tournaments.

At Bai’s behest, elder Boe announced the summon 3 on 3 against the Browns.

There was a deafening roar of applause when Kyon stepped into the arena.

His opponents were the three remaining Browns. When they saw his evil smirk as well as three firecrackers in his hands, they turned deathly pale… An explosive for each of them!

As soon as the judge announced the start of the battle, the young Browns gave up.

If only they knew that Kyon had only three grenades left and only 10% of energy. He would lose to these weaklings by all means.

The Stones summoned the Romanovs the final five times. The outcome of the battle was obvious. It was the same situation at the previous tournament. Everyone gave up when Elsa stepped into the arena. Damned Stones with their invincible and absolutely crazy geniuses!

When the final battle was finished, everyone raised their heads to the screen at the top of the arena, waiting for the family ranks to update. The results were put in the nephrite after each battle, so it didn’t take much time to upgrade the final score. The formation did the calculation and ranked the families in ascending order.

The Stones’ coat of arms had peaked at number one…
