Ancient King

  You know, there is a reason why I have no interest in Elementals. Wild, untamed mass of nature's essence. They are like mini-Shars.

  Speaking of Shar... they got an upgrade. With the Ego of the World sleeping, the ownership and control of the entire world naturally passed down to their child - Shar. So they have the Sea People under their control. And they can always see me.

  "Kalki, Spasmeno Phanes, Midnight Hour, Noah's Embrace, Tsar Supreme, Covenant,...", I began to create a list.

  "Hm? Charlotte, what are you doing?", Mitsuki looked back at me, curious.

  "Just listing world destroying God Syers.", I took a puff of smoke, "The weather is nice at least."

  "Charlotte, I don't think talking about the weather in the same vein as mentioning world-destroying items is normal!", she said bluntly.

  "I've dealt with weirder shits.", and what happened to the world I pnted Kalki?

  Anyway, a Fire Elemental was wandering around, about fifteen meters tall, not thinking or doing anything. It is a force of nature, after all. There is no reason for it to think in the first pce.

  "Elementals are entirely passive, they move around without a care in the world. Unless...", I picked up Ouroboros Omniscia with a grin.

  "Charlotte? What are you doing?", Mitsuki looked at me with a wary expression.

  Both sides of the coffin open up, revealing the missile unchers.

  "Unless you attract their attention!!", and I fired a barrage of rockets.

  A rain of explosives fell upon the Fire Elemental, hitting it and the missiles went off in a pilr of explosion! Hehahahaha!!

  "When dealing with Elementals, nothing works better than explosives.", I stated, "Thank you, Alfred Nobel."

  "But uh... why is it coming our way?", Mitsuki pointed out.

  True, although explosives are effective against all Elementals, there are differences in effectiveness. Fire Elemental is especially resistant.

  Well, I didn't change the direction of the Elemental for no reason.

  "Do something! Charlotte!!", Mitsuki tugged my sleeve.

  I just took another puff with a smile, "It has been a while, my best friend."

  In an instant, the Fire Elemental was absorbed into a vortex, shrinking in the blink of an eye.

  There is my best friend, a girl dressed in a bck priest robe, her hair was as bck as coal, and burning red eyes with a serious expression. She waved the fire in her hand away.

  We both stare at each other, not making a single move.

  "I thought I was your best friend!!", Mitsuki broke the silence.

  "She only bels me as her best friend just to torment me, don't take anything she says to heart.", Hoa sighed, walking toward us, "Let's get going, I haven't gotten my daily prayers."

  She walked toward me... oh.

  "And please deal with that for me.", she pointed behind her.

  I combed my hair back with a wide grin, walking past my best friend.

  My usual attire had changed quite a bit. I don't wear Solomon that often, but I made another trench coat that was white and decorated with silver, this time without anything special. A blue sleeveless crop top and white leggings. Half-steel sole running shoes. Nothing change much to be honest. But I am not fully armed 24/7 at least.

  "For the melody of Tomorrow."

  But to fight against something like that? I need proper protection. My Rose Compass halo appears behind my head, glowing a soft magenta.

  "Awaken, the Passion all Chase and Reject!"

  White crystals began to grow on my body, then they dyed a magenta color.

  "I shall Bring upon the world a Neverending Encore!!"

  I gripped my hand, shattering the crystals into a suit of armor. The silver frame moved up my head, becoming a helmet that cover by entire face.

  "For I am the life of the Party!!"

  After all, there is no need for a beast to see my face.

  "Let the show begin!!"

  My fist cshed with a white greatsword, held by a fucking dinosaur. It's the Sinner half of the Dino King.

  "First Step: Hysteria."

  Time began to slow down as more drugs rush through my body. I moved back from the csh by a millimeter—

  I went under the sword, below the allosaurus— then I threw a punch.

  A burst of crystal went through the ancient beast— but it didn't die.

  Rather... it became faster.

  "Second Step: Overdrive."

  Time halted for me, but the Jury was still moving. It came at swinging the sword in its mouth at me.

  But I stood still, letting the sword cut through me— or so it thought, as electricity crackles, my Domination activated. The sword only chipped my crystal armor a bit, and no further than that.

  "Third Step: Climax."

  Once again, I increased my speed, the dinosaur stopped completely this time.

  "In brute strength, I am no match for you, Dino King.", I started walking around, not punching it or anything, "But humanity is a species of trickery."

  If I can't compensate with strength, I can do it with some hidden cards. And I so happen to be a person with a fuck load of cards to py.

  When time resumed, everything around the Dino King exploded. Well, I was moving close to the speed of light, after all.

  But it didn't relent after sustaining so much damage. In fact, it roared in my face.

  Ugh, my ears are ringing.

  With its jaw still opened, it swung down at me— wait, where did the sword go—

  My calcutions changed quickly, warning me of dangers. I moved back with electricity crackling about...

  Just in time to avoid a golden beam of Judgement coming from far away... it was the raptor. The allosaurus didn't stop, in smmed its jaw into the ground, cracking the ground beneath it.

  No fucking around anymore.

  In an instant, I threw a punch at the allosaurus, flinging it far away. But I didn't stop there, I grabbed the throat of the beast as it was flying and I tore it out violently. Blood gushed out and spttered onto my armor.

  Oh, it vanished.

  I stopped, snapping toward where the troodon might be... found it.

  I went ahead and got behind the raptor, hiding in an acacia tree. Ready to throw a punch at it—

  But I canceled my advance, performing a flip to use my foot to block the sword ssh from the allosaurus. Then I pushed it back.

  Both dinosaurs roared at me, but not making any move. Just... staring at me, observing. What the fuck?

  "Didn't you attack me earlier? Where did the eagerness from go?", I compined with a frown.

  They both look at me, then at each other. The troodon chirped, likely saying something. But I don't speak dino.

  "Utopia, can you transte their speech?", I asked my loyal knight.

  "[I will attempt to, Your Majesty.]", he spoke and...

  "[What is you intention, Jury of the Pale Court?]"

  Huh? He... didn't speak English, but somehow I perceived it as English... what?

  The troodon chirped back, but this time with more vigor. Can you understand? The vocals seem strange and I can sort of understand it but...

  This is really strange.

  "[They said they need to kill the Regent, it was an order from The Pale Court. They don't want to harm you, Your Majesty.]", he reiterated their speech.

  "Hold on...", I needed to stop for a moment, casting off my crystal armor and my halo vanished, "What kind of nguage did you use?"

  "[That was the Universal Language, Your Majesty. It is a nguage developed by multiple Eldritch Gods of Equilibrium, notably The Enigma Code to make this nguage a Universal Truth.]", he expined.

  What the fuck? There is something like that? How haven't I noticed it before?

  Then I think back to my encounter with Eldritch Gods and Heralds... and I realized they didn't speak English, they all spoke the Universal Language. Damn, my perception had increased...

  ...wait a fucking minute, I can read the contract form Qaeidat Dhahabia gave me clearly now... the condition for me using The Golden Order's power of Equivalent Exchange is that... they get first dib on any exotic item I might encounter no matter the value.

  That was a total fucking scam!

  "Hah...", I have to deal with that fucking bat ter, let's get back to business, "So, let me propose you two a deal."

  The two dinosaurs look at me curiously.

  "How about I keep watch on the Regent for you two, so that you can hunt another prey.", I grinned.

  The troodon chirped, its voice filled with suspicion.

  "[They asked how can they trust you, Your Majesty.]", Utopia transted.

  How can they trust me?

  "Simple, I am the Akasha, after all.", my grin became wider, "Why would I let someone destroy my world? Isn't it better to keep an eye on someone who can destroy the world than to risk it?"

  The two dinos look at each other again, growling and chirping something. I tilt my head, waiting for Utopia to transte their "whispers".

  "[They are speaking in their original nguage, Your Majesty.]", he quickly notify me.

  Hmm.

  "Very well.", I cpped my hands, "So, what do you think?"

  The troodon chirped, this time I could tell it agreed with me.

  "Good, we have come to an agreement. For now, I shall not disrupt your hunt, Dino King...", huh, I feel like something is missing, "And stly, could I know your names?"

  The raptor chirped and the allosaurus growled, I did not understand anything.

  "[The raptor's name is Chica and the allosaurus' is Berthan.]"

  ...

  You know what? I'm going to enjoy Africa for a little bit.

  "See you two ter.", I waved at them— but I stopped.

  Then I ran toward them, sitting down on the soft ground.

  "I want to rex."

  Naturally, the dinosaurs curled around me. Berthan id behind me so I could lean onto its back, and Chica slithered its way to my p. I stroke the first Jury of Earth, its feathers and fur were soft and warm.

  "Utopia, you be a guide to the other two... I'll be here and rest for a while.", I slumped down, hugging the troodon's head, fluffy.

  "[As you command, Your Majesty.]", he obliged.

  After all, there isn't anything as cool as sleeping with dinosaurs. Especially when they are the First Jury of Earth.
