SWNOVELXO Chapter 441: A King Is Born
Michael stood dumbfounded, staring at the sea of soldiers before him, from all shapes, and sizes.
"Are these--"
"*--Greetings to the Ruler!!!*"
His words were cut off by the soldiers' roar, which reached more than a hundred miles... Literally.
Drakon, and Destroyers landed behind Michael, and moved their gazes on the soldiers before them.
"Are all these?"
"Yes, These are our complete soldiers." Ashyn slowly climbed the stairs, and stopped behind Michael.
Michael looked down, seeing Havoc, Shenras, Charon, and Campe joining the soldiers.
"Soon-to-be Ruler, I think it's time we remove that "soon-to-be" from your title."
Michael turned to Ashyn in surprise:
"Yes. It's finally time." Ashyn nodded with a smile, and added respectfully:
"Ruler, can you please get on your knees?"
Michael thought for a moment:
'I can't even remember the last time I knelt on the ground.'
He thought, chuckled to himself, and slowly knelt on the ground.
"Abyssal denizens, time to crown your new king!"
The soldiers and lords all pointed their fingers at Michael.
Ashyn looked at Michael, who nodded at him, and snapped his fingers.
BOOM!
A Vortex opened above the soldiers. Azazel, Apate, Reaper, and the rest of the abyss walkers walked out from it, covering the sky above the soldiers.
Ashyn nodded in approval, and turned his gaze back to Michael.
"Michael Brian, Known as Supreme... Today, we crown you as the King of the abyssal, and ruler of this realm. All benefits of the realm will be unlocked and made infinite to you... As the king you have full control of your lords, territories, and armies. And as your soldiers, lords and Subjects, we pledge our loyalty to you, and only you."
BOOM!!
Abyssal energy shot out from their fingers, and gathered above Michael, whose eyes were closed, listening to the system's notifications.
{Blessing: [Trustworthy] have been Activated.}
{Congratulations, Host have been recognized by the Abyssal.}
{Host gained a passive skill: [Godlike].}
{[Godlike] description: Host will be invincible when he's in his realm.}
Drakon watched as the energies from the soldiers, and Lords formed a red crown engraved with gemstones, which then descended on Michael.
Rather to sit on his head, it entered his body, merging with him.
"Uh?" Drakon was stunned.
{Process have been completed successfully.}
{Congratulations, Host is a step to enter the Primordial Realm.}
{DING!!}
{The gods are requesting to Enter your realm.}
Continue your journey on empire
'Is that possible?' Michael asked with his eyes closed.
{The gods can't leave the realm of gods, but they can travel to the Abyssal for some couple of minutes... Approximately: 3 minutes.}
{Host is now connected to the abyss, so Host can see every single detail and things happening in it.}
{Host can now view other realms, highest duration: 5 minutes.}
Michael nodded, and tried to concentrate on the first realm.

[Michael's Home.]
"Are you two still sitting here?" Maria asked, walking out from the house, staring at Mira and Erika who sat on the veranda, with glasses of juice in hands.
"We have only been here for 10 minutes, and do we have any plans?" Mira asked, turning her gaze from the gate to Maria.
"I know why you two are here. Missing Brother-in-law, right?"
Maria walked towards them, and sat on the third sofa.
"You're joining us?" Erika asked.
"What? You two are relaxing here, and dreaming about Brother-in-law... Can't I do the same?" Maria asked, taking the whole juice bottle.
"Hey, There's a glass inside... Why didn't you bring one for yourself?" Mira asked with a frown.
"I don't drink from a glass, I drink straight from the bottle."
"Uh?"
"...."
The two were stunned as Maria poured all the bottle down her throat.
"This?"
They watched with a stunned gaze, as Maria drank everything, and placed the empty bottle on the table.
"Pineapple juice is my favorite!" She said.
"...!!"
Both Erika's and Mira's jaw dropped, they looked at the empty bottle, then at their glasses, and glared at Maria.
"You... You'll get us a new one." Mira quickly stated.
"Nope, if you need any, it's in the refrigerator."
"This? You know it's in the refrigerator, and you came here to finish ours?!" Erika was flabbergasted.
"Yes." Maria replied with a smirk.
"I wondered how Adrian is doing, with such a girlfriend beside him." Mira said.
"Hey! For your information, he's good."
Maria folded her hands on her chest... She then relaxed and asked:
"Oh, Mira! Have you accepted Carl's proposal."
Hearing Maria, Mira looked down at her juice: "I'm entering 16 this year, and focusing on my studies as Brother instructed... I'm not ready for a relationship."
"Really?" Maria raised an eyebrow:
"Or you're just waiting for Brother-in-law to give you the go ahead." She added with a teasing smile.
"Well, Brother has to approve, before I can go or be in a relationship with anyone." Mira said, and looked up at her:
"Forget all that, What about Shenras...? I haven't seen her today."
"I don't know where she is, but I saw her leaving the house this morning." Instead of Maria, Erika answered, taking a sip of her juice.
"Leaving the house? But she's an exchange student, and we're responsible for her... And she doesn't know the city."
"Oh? Who can attack a Grandmaster medal holder?" Erika asked.
"Oh. I almost forget about that." Mira sighed in relief, and relaxed on her sofa.
Whizzed.
The sky tore opened, and two brown eyes appeared, staring straight at the group, sitting and chatting on the veranda.
Whoosh!
Mira and Erika shivered feeling a familiar presence, they both stood up in unison, and moved their gazes around the compound... Seeing no one, they looked up at the sky, and saw nothing.
"Huh? What happened?" Maria asked in mild confusion, seeing their actions.
"Michael."
"Brother."
The two said in unison, stunning Maria.
"Really?! Where??!"
Maria stood up, and moved her gaze around the sky, but saw nothing but clouds.
"There's nothing there." She said, turning to the two, who were still staring at the sky.
"No, I know I felt him... I know my brother's Aura."
"I also sense him."
"I think you two are seeing things, If you're playing with me, I'm not enjoying it."
The two remained silent, their gazes still fixed on the sky.
"Ok then, I'll get you your juice!"
Maria walked inside in mild annoyance, the two looked at one another, and sighed softly.
"Maybe we're imagining it?" Erika asked, her tone filled with doubt.
"I don't know." Mira said, longingly staring at the sky.
