Chapter 353 A Dive Into The Past
In a huge building that towered over all the other buildings of the city, the top floor of that building was in chaos.
A heated discussion went on as a man shouted at the top of his lungs in front of a group of five people. Many would find that the man had gone mad but if one knew of the circumstances, they would realize that the man was actually shouting for the good of humanity.
"We need to make this information public knowledge or else hundreds of millions of people will die," the man\'s strained voice was a testament of how long he had been trying and shouting at these people but the group of five never moved.
"Look Xander, it\'s enough. The council has decided what it has and we have also reached a decision that you can\'t be let loose. You are a danger to the council," A man from the group said as he fished out a signed document with a red stamp on it.
Looking at the stamp, the man scoffed and then smiled, "So those idiots are actually scared of me. Well let them be scared because you all are fools and will let this world doom,"
"Okay Xander, that\'s enough. You are coming with me. We will be detaining you right here and now," saying those words, the men took out their weapons and started to approach Xander.
"You as*holes, how dare you think of even touching me. You fools really think those inhibitors my friends made for you all would work on me. Lemme tell you, go and say this to you council; I was the first Celestial of Earth and I am the very first person to have broken those shackles as well and you aren\'t worth me," A grin on his face, a maniacal glint flashed through Xander\'s eyes as he flickered out of the place where he stood and right after he was gone, hell broke loose.
That day, New York City suffered the most powerful attack it ever had in its history. Two cooperate blocks were vaporized within seconds while the ground they stood on had turned into molten lava.
No proofs were found anywhere and the government had dismissed it as a spatial anomaly and the news was buried. No one had an idea of what had happened and since then, the search for the man named Xander had started.
As for the person in question,
He drank beer along with his long time buddy Prometheus, drunk out of his wits; he relayed the whole incident to his friend.
"Xander, you can\'t stay on Earth for long," Prometheus said in all seriousness.
"I know that Prometheus, that\'s why I\'m here," Xander turned sober as a distant longing flashed in his eyes.
"Your kids," Prometheus mumbled as Xander nodded and took out a small cube from his pocket.
"Take this, it will help you keep updated on all the matters that are going to happen. See, around ten years from now, signs will start to show and after that; it wont be long before System Online merges with Earth. I had peered into the dimensional space and the veil has gotten too thin but those assholes who dare to call themselves the council of humanity are too scared about the consequences. So I want you to be ready and be prepared for the future," his melancholic voice was enough for Prometheus to have full picture of the situation as he nodded solemnly.
"What about you Xander? Where are you going to go?" Prometheus asked in worry.
"What where? You know it Prometheus, my heritage is not in Earth and even though I was born here and have lived here all my life, this planet and its people haven\'t treated me well. I am going to go out in the cosmos and take what is rightfully mine,"
Hearing Xander speak, Prometheus understood what his friend meant. Having known about his friend\'s past and his bloodline, Prometheus ordered another pint as he asked, "What of your family?" It was the hardest question of all and Prometheus knew that Xander had been avoiding it all this time. It was also because of this that Prometheus had ordered more drinks. He knew it was going to be hard but he had to talk about it with his friend.
"I\'m going to leave them here," Xander\'s voice was calm when he spoke those words but his body and expressions said another story. His eyes were watery while his body was shaking all over. Prometheus could feel his friend\'s sadness for leaving his family and also the anger welling up for being forced to leave them.
"What do you need me for," Prometheus asked, Knowing his friend would never say it on his own. Prometheus took the first step as he nodded. They both were friends and had a bond deeper than blood.
"Can you just look out for them when the world goes to doom. I\'m sure my wife will handle everything but if you ever find them in a situation they can\'t handle, please help them. Also, my son Ray will have grown up by then as well. Please teach him and guide him, I\'m sure he will be even more talented than I am," Xander didn\'t ask Prometheus for much and even when Prometheus tried to help more; Xander replied saying, "Even if I ask you to help them, my wife would never ask for it. She is more stronger than even you, I trust her to make the right choice and don\'t worry, if the push comes to shove, she will probably go haywire and you will eventually have to step in,"
"Sure Xander," Prometheus sighed, knowing of the scary woman Xander had married. Her powers still gave him the chills and he wished to never go toe to toe against her if she ever went haywire.
"Prometheus, stay happy and do say my regards to Amanda. I will go meet my family for one last time and then leave. I\'m sure those bastards have already tracked my previous locations," Xander said as he hugged his friend one last time.
In such times, he could only rely on Prometheus. A tear slipped down his cheek as he pulled back from the hug,
"Cmon dude, you crying?" Prometheus raised an eyebrow.
"Nah bro, its just something in the air. Dust or so," Xander passed it by as he joked. Nodding solemnly, he took one last sip of his beer and then vanished and right after he did, a group of men came marching down in the bar, weapons in their hands as they searched around for some time. Not finding anything, the people left while Prometheus just shook his head in disappointment.
On the other hand,
Xander appeared in the sky as he looked down at the high rise building and the roads. The cars driving on them and the people walking on the sideways. The world had advanced a lot in the past years and it had brought many good things but it wasn\'t the time to reminisce of old times.
He was waiting for something over here and he waited for hours in the sky as the sun went down, Xander knew it was time.
He needed time and for that he had to distract those who had been searching for him relentlessly. Closing his eyes, he opened his hands wide as a golden hue surrounded his body. He had alot of powers but right now, he was using his power of creation and with that power, he was doing something that would only be labeled as an act of God by others.
Well, after evolving further, wasn\'t he actually one? He didn\'t care and would never do as he knew it wasn\'t the end. Instead it was just the start of it all and hence, appeared in front of him five beings brimming with power.
Their bodies representing an element each as water, fire, earth, light and darkness had their apparitions made out of thin air and the power they gave off, if anyone were to feel it; they would be scared out of their wits that a a man they had thought to catch had created five Celestials in minutes.
"They should buy me enough time and keep them busy for even longer," Xander thought and then ordered his creations, "Go on and cause rampage but be sure to not let a single being get harmed. Only those dogs of the council are not added in this order. You can kill them for what I care but no one else," With that said, Xander was gone and the city devolved into chaos.
"Hey honey, Im home," Xander walked through a small house as he had his last day with family.
