Sovereign of the Firmaments

"Your majesty, what are we going to do now?"

The royal general was anxious as he was having a little hard time thinking about what he had to do. 

So, he asked King Aston, who always comes up with a solution.

'System, what should I do now?'

King Aston didn't give any reply to the royal general; instead, he asked the system in his head.

That's right!

The secret that King Aston was hiding for the last 20 years was that he received a system when he was venturing one of the royal tombs.

At that time, he was just a prince with average talent and had five brothers who were more talented than him and whose chances of succeeding in the throne were high.

However, with the appearance of the system, everything changed for him, the speed at which his strength increased was astonishing and his value rose over his five brothers.

With time, the five brothers started dying for different reasons. One died in a war with another duke ranked family, another one died while trying to tame a spirit beast, the third one died in the royal tombs, the fourth became crazy and put to death by Aston and the fifth one couldn't take the pressure of being killed by his sixth brother and chose suicide.

After that, Aston dissolved the entire family established by his family and created his own family.

It took him just 20 years to create a duke level family and only one step away from reaching the Sovereign family. But now, everything will become gone if some spirit beast becomes the king of the firmament.

He needs to swear his loyalty to the spirit beast; otherwise, he would be killed along with his entire family.

So, he asked for help from the system.

'Ding,

          Host, I already warned you not to waste your time by establishing a new family. Now, see how anxious you are becoming.

Soon, a system notification appeared in King Aston's head.

Unlike the system in Lucas' head, who replies to Lucas with full respect, the system in King Aston's head was completely dominating him as it scoffed at him.

Lucas might have dominated his system and put it in control, even Beck's system was not rude to Beck and replied in a natural tone without any emotions.

'System, please help me this one time. I will sacrifice you 100 rank 5 spirit beasts if you help me with my current situation.'

If anyone heard the mighty King Aston's was begging someone to help him, they would not dare believe it.

However, that was the sad truth as King Aston was begging the system.

Even though King Aston thought he could disturb the lightning tribulation and make the spirit beast fail the tribulation, he feared he might be late even with the fastest flying spirit beast.

Because the tribulation cloud was quite far away from the royal capital of the Bareen firmament.

'Ding,

          You are just like the previous host. Your ancestor was having serious ego issues that made him sleep in that tomb and now, you are getting yourself ready for that.

The system mocked King Aston at first; however, since it was bound to him, it could not help but should support him continuously.

So, it took a few moments before sending another system notification.

'Ding,

          Since you are going to sacrifice 100 rank 5 spirit beasts, I will give you an idea.

Soon, the system started giving an idea to King Aston, who frowned in the beginning; however, as he continued to listen, he stopped frowning and revealed a slight smile on his face.

"Your majesty…did you find a way to kill the being undergoing the lightning tribulation?"

Seeing the slight smile on King Aston's face, the royal general became a little excited as he asked King Aston about it.

"I did."

With a huge smile on his face, King Aston nodded his head.

"Great."

The Royal general didn't ask for the plan as he knew that if he needed to know about it, King Aston would definitely tell about it.

"Gather all the generals in a single minute. We will be going to greet the one who is undergoing the lightning tribulation."

In the next moment, King Aston ordered the royal general, who nodded his head and without wasting any time, gathered all 100 royal generals.

"Screech"

In the meantime, the old minister had already prepared the fastest flying type spirit beast mount which was gigantic and 1000 men could easily sit on its back.

"Let's go."

Soon, King Aston, the old minister and 100 royal generals along with a few elite commanders mounted the spirit beast before flying towards the lightning tribulation.

.....

'Swoosh'

'Thud'

The tribulation cloud didn't give any time for the shadow dragon to recover its strength as it released the second lightning strike and its aim was the same as the earlier lightning strike.

However, the shadow dragon was clever enough to move a little bit from its original place, making the lighting strike change its aim.

'Roar'

Even though the shadow dragon was successful in avoiding the landing of the lightning strike in the same place, the second lightning strike was a little more powerful than the first lightning strike.

So, it could not help but roar in pain once again while looking at the sky.

'What the hell is he doing? Why does he have to roar at the heavens?'

Lucas, who was worried about the shadow dragon, was happy that the shadow dragon was able to endure two lightning strikes just with its raw strength.

However, he was worried that roaring at the heavens was not a good sign for it.

When the heavens felt annoyed, irritated or angered by the actions of the being that was undergoing the lightning tribulation, the heavens would increase the difficulty of the lightning tribulation.

'Ding,

          The second lightning strike is 10 percent more powerful than the first lightning strike.

'What?'

As Lucas was worried about the third lightning strike, he received a system notification in his head, making him greatly surprised.
