Emperor's Reckoning

The sky had turned cold as their primary source of heat took a rest. The wind bellowed on the empty sand but the fire on a simple fireplace couldn't be put out. The snoring of a young man beat the peace of the other two, however, facing the calm wave, a dragon and a monkey sat still.

The monkey crossed his arm as he contemplated something while the dragon was waiting for his reaction.

"At the time, yes, I was sober."

"I knew it, you were the only one of your race that could pull off that stunt."

The monkey lifted a bottle of booze against the bright moon on the horizon. The liquid inside glistened as a wry smile appeared on his face.

"Devil Ape Art: Heaven's Fury huh."

The dragon's whiskers quivered before saying, "Y-yeah, I manage to see how you activate that technique. A technique you could activate only when being sober since it was driven by extreme madness. A technique that could—"

"Shut up. It's a useless technique only to destroy. I couldn't even manage to save our only grandson."

The monkey drank the booze as a little grain of tears appeared on the edge of his eyes. His eyes slowly closed as he reminisced the nightmare of that time.

---------------------

"L-Lyon, y-you are still alive, right? C'mon, let's drink one more cup. Drink once more with grandpa," said Sun as he held up the lifeless hand.

His eyes opened wide, there was no pulse. The warm hand that he once felt when Lyon was a little boy was replaced by a cold one like his liquor.

"Grandpa, what is it that you always drink? Can I have one? Hey, can I?"

"Grandpa, I think it's time for me to try that drink of yours don't you think? Don't worry I know a way to hide the stench from mom and older sister."

"Grandpa, I'll be going now, when I became a proper adult then, let's drink a barrel and talk away! Promise! See ya!"

Sun's entire body shook as an outburst of anti-mana exploded within him. His eyes immediately turned to the color of blood as his figure tensed. Some parts of his veins bulged as intense blood flow ran within. He knuckled both of his hand until blood escaped out from his own grip. His hair fluttered against his own aura before four banners appeared on his back in an instant.

His figure slowly floated to the sky as his eyes glared at the blinding sun. The size of the two was like an ant against an elephant. However, the might he exuded was like a god against its own creation.

"Heaven! Hell! I will destroy you for what you've done!"

Despite the extreme heat permeating from the sun in front of him, none of his features were able to be ignited.

"Heaven'se Fury!"

He right hand formed millions of silhouette when he swung it forward. The space that the punch passed through immediately ripped apart as the flares immediately perished. The moment it came into contact, the star disappeared like dust being blown by the wind leaving only its core.

With the core emitting lustrous light, a supernova was about to evoke.

Sun casually grabbed the glowing core with his left hand before it exploded inside. The loud boom was heard across the entire world but only smoke could be seen escaping from his grip.

--------------------

He opened his eyes once again to the present as determination resided within his sharp gaze.

"Whoever you are, whatever group you're in, whether it'll be hell or heaven! Whether you're in Heaven's Imperial Prison or Myriad Demon Realm! I await the day of reckoning."

His figure instantly turned into his human form as he glared at the sky.

"You're not the only one," said Shen Long as he too, turned into his human form.

Both of them gazed at the sky. Only an insignificant number of beings knew who they were. The identity of these two alone once shook both hell and heaven at the same time. Now, fate itself couldn't control the destiny of the multi-worlds as these two had the same goal.

"By the way bastard, fuck you for making the kid drank the Monkey King's wine."

"Hey! How am I supposed to know that he would dare to drink that despite the abomination of a smell!"

"You make him a wager you stupid ape!"

"It's a fucking bra, catfish! Who the hell thought a kid would drink that for a piece of a bra!"

"Whose bra?"

"He barely hit pube— what?"

"Whose bra?"

"..."

"..."

"You fucking catfish! You are the cause of why he had accelerated hormones!"

"You were the one who makes him an alcoholic you stupid ape!"

Sun raised his arm before Long said, "O-Oh we are going to fight? Alright then! You never beat me anyway! Hah! your punches taste like a corporeal body"

"We are in a corporeal body state you fucking catfish!"

-----------------------------------------------

The day of dawn finally came as Lyon crouched down to see why both of his gramps laying on the floor with uneven breathing. "What happened to you guys?"

"This catfish started it first!"

"No way, it was clearly your fault!"

(Oh man, this is going to be a very noisy journey ahead) thought Lyon with a sighed heart.

"Hmm?" He noticed something was on the sea, "A boat? No, wait, a fishing boat?"

It was a simple wooden fishing boat with a hunchback looking old man who appeared to be the fisherman. He had a bright smile as he waved against him, "Oi, oi."

Lyon furrowed his eyebrows. He currently not wearing a mask and wore his usual attire, but the old man on the boat also didn't wear a mask. (We are still in the Abyss Tower island, is he really a fisherman? Hah as if).

"Quick hide yourself Sun!"

"What? Why, why would I do that?"

"Goddamnit monkey just do what I say! Our existence will only bring more trouble to the boy!"

"Alright fine, at least you said something logical after all these centuries.. or millennium? I lost count."

"Fuck you."

The two of them instantly vanished like a pair of ghosts. Though they could appear to the ones they want, there was still a chance a cultivator they did not intend to might caught on something or even worse actually detected their location.

"Good morning, young one."
