Planet Gamble 2.0,
This planet was the base of Haidoro himself.
A planet as large as Jupiter, yet completely rocky.
However, its density far surpassed that of Earth or even Jupiter.
The mothership landed, and with it, Haidoro descended onto the planet.
He dragged Yash by the collar and threw him into the courtroom.
It was dark.
Completely dark.
Haidoro's yellow eyes glowed menacingly.
Near the throne stood Lilith.
She looked embarrassed that she couldn't eliminate Pratik on Planet Gamble.
Yash stood while supporting himself with a pillar.
His eyes were trying their best to stay awake and analyse the surroundings.
Complete silence filled the court.
[Lilith]: Who is that kid, Sir Haidoro?
[Haidoro]: He claimed to be the Prince of the Gretoling Empire.
Lilith widened her eyes in surprise.
[Lilith]: Is it true?
She asked with disbelief in her eyes.
Haidoro glanced at her.
[Haidoro]: Very few people know the face of the Gretoling Empire's prince, but his feats are widely known. One of those feats says that during an assassination attempt a few weeks ago, he was thrown off a cliff-stage. When the royal guards and the Empress searched for him, they found him deep inside a distant forest. The place where he should have landed was completely destroyed, while he himself was unharmed. All the wildlife around him circled him peacefully, and none dared to attack him.
Lilith listened carefully.
[Haidoro]: Even among all his predecessors, he is considered an anomaly. He must be powerful, right?
Lilith stumbled slightly.
[Lilith]: Y–Yes, of course.
She answered hurriedly.
In a split second, Haidoro appeared before Yash and punched him in the stomach.
The impact destroyed the entire court, shattered nearby mountains, created a massive earthquake, and made Yash cough out blood violently.
[Haidoro]: If he truly is the prince, he should survive at least one low-class punch from me, right?
Lilith herself was slightly wounded despite using barriers to defend against the shockwave.
This was absurd.
No kid should survive this—
"I am still standing."
Said Yash.
His legs trembled.
His face was completely red.
His eyes had turned entirely white.
Yet there was still a smirk on his face.
Soon after, he lost consciousness.
[Haidoro]: Seems like he really is the prince.
The fever and disease Yash suffered from greatly reduced his durability and endurance.
An exchange like that should have killed him instantly, yet he still remained standing.
His will to live was stronger than death's grasp itself.
Haidoro(thinking): No one from that ship could have survived that attack. This kid must truly be the prince.
Lilith was too shocked to say anything.
[Haidoro]: Make sure he doesn't die while I take some rest.
Said Haidoro as he walked toward his personal chamber.
Lilith walked closer to Yash.
His internal organs were heavily damaged. Anyone could tell with a single glance.
Even his outer skin had been burnt badly.
[Lilith]: Lilith is surprised. How are you still alive?
No answer.
Of course. He was unconscious.
[Lilith]: Lilith can only pray for you. Sir Haidoro was once the second most powerful Dragoling. I cannot blame you for losing to him.
Haidoro was the younger brother of Crocus.
During Crocus's prime days, Haidoro was often beaten by him because of Haidoro's cruel behaviour.
That suppressed rage and his obsession with dominance led him to where he stood now.
Haidoro transformed into his human form and appeared before a mirror.
[Haidoro]: O mirror, tell me my future.
The mirror shined for a moment.
[Mirror]: You are destined to dominate others, the one who possesses ruler-class ambition and an insatiable hunger for power.
[Haidoro]: Ahahaha! That's it! That's it! I am the strongest!
Haidoro burst into laughter.
But the mirror continued with one final line.
[Mirror]: You are destined to rule like a ruler… until he kills you.
At those words, Haidoro stopped laughing.
His eyes turned red.
His voice became rough.
[Haidoro]: Who is he?
[Mirror]: The first possessor of Supreme Deity Class, the one who has recently been reborn… SHADOW LORD.
To be continued...
