Galaxy's First Ruler

A blazing fist struck a delicate rose.

All men were pulled towards the point of impact because of the sudden vacuum before getting thrown outwards. The soundless nature of this contact between the level 40 Viscounts horrified the Barons to their core.

Tomislav struggled to stand up and in the distance, he saw the shock-waves had snatched away the purple pup out of Christin's embrace.

'This… is bad.'

Boom!

As the shock waves died down, one of the faraway tents blasted apart and seven masked men wearing green overcoats appeared on the site. The mask on their faces was plain with no holes and there was an image of a fiery-red bird with its claws stretched out on it.

These were the Recordless.

From the same tent that the man with the upper naked body had come out of, two beauties jumped out with the swiftness of the birds. They only had their underwear on themselves and their plump breasts bounced with their erect nipples. The same tattoo as of the man was on their breasts and looked even more catchy.

These were the remaining two viscounts.

On the other side, the three Recordless from the House Venomous Rose appeared in front of their seven counterparts. Viscount Trifon dashed towards the two beauties while licking his lips.

Bloodshed and war had ravaged the life of intelligent beings of the Milky Way Galaxy since time immemorial. Who had started this war? And why must it be continued?

Nobody remembered, and nobody cared.

Tomislav closed his eyes, and he could feel the shudder in Christin's hands even if he couldn't see it. A memory flashed through his mind, unpleasant and full of regrets. He knew it was nigh impossible for him to stop the blood-thirsty Houses if he didn't use 'that'.

Tomislav clenched his fists and a gust of wind, filled with Mana, originated out of his body. His hat got blasted away by his blue hairs that were waving around as if he was underwater. Blue veins popped out on his muscular body and the surrounding mud lifted in the air.

"AAAAAAAAAAA!"

The sudden shout that even overtook the rushing sound of the Sea from the Chasm rooted everyone in their place. All heads turned towards Tomislav and found him covered with an ethereal blue-golden halo. His shoulder-length hairs were now standing upwards towards the sky, and blue vapor sipped out from the corner of his mouth.

Tomislav took a step forward and opened his eyes. All hearts thumped with an unknown fear as they saw the image of a Golden Trident in both of his blue eyes. It felt like if they were to take one more step, the trident would come out and impale them on an unseen wall.

Shouuu!!!

A watery pressure came falling on the heads of all, suffocating even the Viscounts. They struggled to raise their heads and their sight shook by what they saw in the sky.

The still black clouds that had not moved in a long time parted to create two gigantic holes in them. The holes weren't round, but their closeness felt like two eyes had surfaced in the sky. A blurry and transparent image of the enormous Golden Trident appeared in both of the holes.

The dark clouds churned and Dreamer's mind quaked with submission in the presence of an unknown might.

The Viscounts, as if propelled by something, said simultaneously.

"A Blessed One."

Tomislav approached the middle of the fight and eyed Viscount Rayko, making him flinch.

"If you two Houses want to do suicide, I don't give a fuck! Just hand me over the Oath Breaking Stone, and I will be on my way."

The Viscounts looked at the golden hue around Tomislav's eyes and then looked at the two Tridents in the Sky. As they turned to look at each other, the hate in their eyes had gained a visible red color. But followed by the silence created by Tomislav, the sound of the gurgling water hit their eardrums.

"House Venomous Rose."

"House Firebird."

Tomislav heard the two maxed level Viscounts introducing each other, and let out a secret breath of relief. He knew they must have guessed their origins already for them to lunge at each other. The holes in the sky vanished, and Tomislav's appearance returned to that of a normal adventurer.

The man with the tattoo on his chest gave a brief look to Tomislav and addressed the man in front of him.

"Let's… Talk."

Tomislav saw the Soprano Brothers hastily placing a table as someone tugged his shirt from behind. A chill ran down his spine as he turned around.

"Damn it, Christin! How many times I have told you to not scare me like this?"

Woof!

The pup in Christin's arms barked at Tomislav and then started licking Christin's cheeks.

"Hehe! It tickles. Captain… I… I need milk."

Tomislav flicked Christin's forehead, making the pup bare its transparent purple teeth.

Grrr!

"You and your milk."

Tomislav took a baby bottle out of his jacket's pocket. The bottle had milk and a transparent nipple at its top. Christin's eyes shined as soon as she saw the milk and snatched the bottle away.

Tomislav couldn't help but smile as he saw her sucking the milk out of the bottle.

The Viscounts from two houses sat opposite each other on the table. The black-haired beauties still had no clothes over their bare breasts. In their middle was the large man, his tattoo kept flashing with a fire-like shine.

"I am Viscount Ellington, and the only other thing you need to know is that the Earl has sent us here himself."

Tomislav was standing behind the two viscounts from the House Venomous Rose, with closed eyes. He had found out from the scared Soprano Brothers that House Firebird was ruled by an Earl as its head. Compared to just a Count, it could be said that they were beyond reach.

But he also knew that a House with a previous background of Duke couldn't be underestimated either. Who knew how many hidden trump cards they must have had, for them to engage in an all-out fight here, despite their lacking in numbers?

Tomislav saw Viscount Rayko leaning forward and wondered what he would say. But his eyes snapped open as he heard Rayko's calm words.

"Fuck you and your Earl's ass!"
