Chapter 208: I Am Number One
"I am number one."
Legend had once been a member of the Enforcers. He was actually part of the original Enforcers created by Full Monarch, and many people considered him to be the second strongest hero on the planet.
After Full Monarch's death, Legend became the number one hero for a very short time before his title was taken over by the Victorian, who defeated him in combat and saved double the number of lives he did in a single year. Once more, Legend found himself living as the second-best hero in the world.
For a bit of time, he stepped away and focused on raising his sons. His efforts mainly went to Fable, whom he molded into a powerful hero that would one day join the Enforcers and become the third strongest hero.
Legend was never the best. He was a man that wanted to stand at the top but never could due to the fact that there was always going to be people stronger than him. In a world with Lords, it didn't matter how skilled he truly was. He had reached his limit as a Super.
So, Legend simply gave up being a Super.
"I am number one."
Long, long ago, the four Lords faced their greatest challenge. An entity from beyond the stars. A being of untold power that could change the universe itself. The entity known as the Shadow. The four Lords did battle, and in the end, they beat the Shadow, but at the cost of their own lives. It wasn't over for the Lords, though. They would be reborn. Again and again, when the world needed them most, they would rise up. They weren't the only ones looking to come back, though... Upon its death, the Shadow split and tore itself into four pieces. The antithesis to the four Lords.
The Rulers.
Upon his death, a darkness would awaken in Legend. A hungry, mad power that screamed for the annihilation of everything. At last, he had become something more than a mere Super. Legend got his dream. He was finally special. He was the Ruler of Ash and Ruin.
"What is that thing?" Cora shouted out and held tighter onto Cinder.
