Spectacular World

The perfect circle...

A saying that was invented by the monsters that served the Emperor.

In nature, there is the predator, and there is the prey.

It is the duty of the prey to offer itself up and allow itself to be slaughtered by the predator. The predator existed to hunt the prey and to slaughter them as it saw fit. That was the circle of life. The perfect world.

At least this is what a person would be told if they managed to force a monster to spill what they believed in. The truth was the world itself wasn’t so simple. Predators were not the things that were on top, and prey wasn’t something that would willingly let itself be devoured. In some cases, prey could even surpass the predator and devour it instead.

The Emperor, despite being the biggest threat in the world, was a villain most people knew nothing about. It was kept mostly hush-hush that he was formerly Nier, one of the warriors who defeated Lucifer. The world knew he was a Lord of the Land and Life, but most of the people assumed Nier had fallen and this was a new Lord.

Even the Hero Branch knew very little about the Emperor. They knew that he was Nier and that he was a threat to the world, but it was impossible to tell how much stronger he had become since he walked down the path of evil. Footage of his fight with Full Monarch had been recovered, and it was seen that he had new powers he shouldn’t have had access to. Namely, a strange blue aura.

Still, these were the Enforcers. They were the best of the best, right? That meant that they couldn’t lose. It was their job to win. Not only were they the ones who were now about to stand before the Emperor, but they had Ruby Admiral, daughter of Full Monarch, with them, as well as one more secret weapon that was up their sleeve.

Ruby was the first up, and she looked around casually. The throne room was a mess since a giant dragon had crashed through the roof above and landed in the middle. Pillars were knocked over, and most of the lights had been put out, the only glow coming from the Emperor himself, who remained seated on a spiked throne made of warped swords. The darkness molded and twisted around him, blue fire pouring out of his eyes. He was slouched and casual, not even looking shocked at the fact that they were now in his home.

Several monster corpses littered the room, crushed and broken under the debris. Their blood flowed out, but none of them were any of the four generals or any other notable monster like Alien.

After Ruby stood up, Feast and Legend were next. Legend was still in his electric form, lightning and other energy radiating off of him. He clutched a jagged spear of golden light, and his robes blew in a wind he created. Feast rubbed his belly, which growled.

After them were Golden Weaver and Omega. Omega cocked his arm, which unfolded into a large beam rifle, while Golden Weaver muttered a quick prayer.
