Emperor's Reckoning

"Huuu...." Cecile let out a breath before puckering up a smile. She crossed her arms despite the enemies were a few meters away.

"I-Incredible..."

"Empress Cecile... she lived up to her name. She is still untouchable as ever."

The experts had stopped fighting as the condition of winning was naught. The man that they thought they could capture alive seemed increasingly impossible now. Even the pair from heaven themselves, he challenged. Now with the empress by his side, there was no telling how far he could go. It was from that one single leap that they knew, he had far surpassed them.

"That young man is dangerous..."

"He even put that heaven man in his place just through sheer words."

Jin started grinning as before he crossed his arms, "Well of course he is dangerous, after all. He is my son-in-law."

"What?!" exclaimed the experts as they looked at the proud Avalance Fist made a revelation. Now it suddenly made sense. The cold empress was famed for her indifference but she seemed to show a lot of emotion lately and always being near that guy.

Now his figure turned even more looming. They could never believe that someone alive could actually romance the empress the one said to be sitting at the pinnacle of what it meant to be a woman. Heaven's guests took liking against her auburn traits but she damned them all.

She chose this one young man that appeared to be even younger than her and she chose him well.

Lord Treas had no say in the matter. He briefly remembered this young woman but it was a long time ago. However, his eyebrows soon rose up (She... she is that kid!). The only one that refused to kneel despite being in his presence. That scene was a long time ago.

"You are my great-granddaughter!" exclaimed the Lord Treas.

"Hm?" Cecile took a side glance against the old man that Lyon said was cosplaying a knight.

"What? Hahaha... this is getting interesting by the minute!" exclaimed Altre after his sister regained her balance. (Wait a minute... then that means she is not a giant) he suddenly had a cold shiver up his spine as his brains slightly clicked. The fact that she was not abnormally tall, but had the perfect physique of a fighter, caught his fingers slightly jittered.

"You..."

"Brother? What is it?"

"Do you have a sword engraving on your nape?!" asked Altre out of the blue. His prideful demeanor suddenly changed as he asked that question.

Felicia opened her eyes wide, "What?! I see... It's detestable! How could Mortal had such blessings!"

"How you say? The answer is very simple," Lyon answered as he walked forward with his hands inside his pocket.

"She is my wife... that simple," said Lyon with a grin before he brutally disappeared right before the pair's eyes.

Both of them twitched their eyes (He's gone!). Their pupils couldn't follow his movement (Behind?!). The golden mana let out a silk thin whisp for their eyes to catch but the figure was already long gone.

However...

"True Dragon Art: Double Palm of Shattering World!"

They all raised their eyebrows (True Dragon?!) they forgot the enemy was more than one. Their eyes were the only ones that were fast enough to move and saw Cecile bending her knees slightly before thrusting two of her palms directly against their abdomens. A part of their garb was ripped from the powerful blow as the resounding boom was carried over with two simultaneous True Dragon roar.

*Boom!

The ground she was standing broke as the nearby walls crumbled. The two of them shot through thick walls and left a cloud of dust as they went.

"Heaven's Fury..." he muttered with a smile.

His entire clothing was immediately being layered by armor made entirely out of Devil Apes' will. The four banners fluttered gallantly and the long headdress of a commander was on his head neatly. He crossed his arms and black gloves covered his fists.

"Lyon! They are all yours!" shouted Cecile.

"En! Thanks!"

Lyon was already waiting at the other end with a smirk on his face. The enemies were coming at incredible speed as those thick walls crumbled from the crash of their heads.

"Devil Ape art...."

(What?! Devil Ape?!) thought Altre before he managed to take a glance against that smirk.

"Wild Heaven!" Lyon opened his arms before he punched the air in front of him at space-breaking speed in a quarter of a breath. "Heh," he smirked before snapping his fingers.

A deafening zoom was heard before golden fists made of mana carried out Devil Apes' cry. The uncountable fists immediately cloistered through and flew forward toward the two siblings

Their eyes dilated with the size of the fist coming toward their pupils enlarging. The horrific thousands and thousands of claps were heard for a whole minute as a cloud of dust mixed with golden mana were spiraling upward like a tornado.

Everyone looked up in awe and amazement as even the real clouds above were mingled with the dust and creating an unruly sight. The heaven-defying move created a phenomenon liked no others

"Ah..."

"What the... fuck..."

The experts couldn't contain themselves as he looked at the effect of the devastating attack. They all gulped their saliva but still even with dust hitting their unprotected eyes, they refused to blink.

The combination attack that they just did was incredibly in sync. Not even a share of a glance did they share but the combos went nicely smooth. The pair of siblings were immediately caught and tangled with one from another inside the tornado. The onlookers could hardly see the two shadows inside the spiraling tornado.

"Heh," Lyon pulled out one of the banners behind his back before swinging it forward.

The gale that was created immediately dispersed the tornado in an instant along with the clouds. Two figures could be seen falling immediately before two loud resounding thuds were heard.

He put back the banner on his back before hovering right above the two.

The entire thousands of experts gawked and hardly made a swallow against their own saliva. They had just seen something that cemented in their heart.

"A-Amazing..."

"So this is the true power of Empress's husband... no... Lyon Torga!"

He crossed his arms as he looked down at the pair of heaven.
