Nameless King

What could be worse than rage? Apparently, it was one of the strongest emotions, dangerous, and uncontrollable, but giving incredible power to any, even the weakest being. However, this was not the limit.

Cold wrath was obviously more frightening than bright rage, as this power lurked inside, slowly bursting out.

So, to awaken such an emotion in the one called The Strongest One, was perhaps the greatest mistake of the Constructs in history.

Liang was a calm person who could meditate for months, honing his mind, but that was not why he was given his power.

He was given this unique title for those fights where he didn’t hold back, and when that happened it didn’t matter to Liang who was in front of him. He was going to destroy until his wrath calmed down, and until then, everyone’s fates were determined.

“What is that…?” The child pointed at the bright blue flash that appeared in the sky of the Construct World.

“Damn! Isn’t that a shooting star?! It’s very rare!” His sister exclaimed with an excited expression as she joyfully jumped up.

“Hey, in that case, you should make a wish.” From behind them, a woman with a kind smile on her face walked up to them, stooping down to them and placing her hands on their shoulders.

“What would you wish for?”

“I wish…!”

At the same moment, a blue flash exploded, being directly above one of the many Construct Cities.

Just an instant later, the power contained within the sphere burst out. The blue spark covered the entire city as the most beautiful thing the inhabitants had ever seen, then the place was turned into nothingness.

Ynez was one of the strongest Constructs, so the power of the explosion of her core was immense, it was more than enough to destroy several such cities, as well as make space shake.

Boundless blue energy surged beyond the Construct World, filling the World of Darkness with blue flames while space tried to close the gap.

“Fine. This is a fitting start.” Liang calmly said, tightly clenched his sword, and leaped forward.

Crackle.

Although he looked calm or even cold it wasn’t like that at all. The flame of wrath burned brightly inside him, and every second he controlled his power was getting worse.

As he jumped forward the ground beneath him cracked, shattering most of the snowy mountains that had previously been severely damaged by Alucard’s attack. It was just a jump, but the power of his every move was immense.

“Well, well, I definitely have to see this.” Alucard smirked as he disappeared, with the same speed as Liang.

Nakano was slightly puzzled, but when she realized what was happening, she was determined to follow her leader.

Tap.

Gael put a hand on her shoulder, stopping her.

“Are you sure about this?” Gael asked with a serious expression.

“Agh?” Nakano was puzzled.

“What you’re going to see next won’t please you at all. Even though you’re a guardian, you’ve never seen the real Liang. You must realize that you can’t get his title without doing something creepy.” Gael looked intently into her eyes.

Nakano flinched as she doubted for a moment, but confidence quickly returned to her eyes.

“Yes! You’re the one who said we shouldn’t run away from difficulties! Could your advice be bad?” Nakano said seriously.

Gael didn’t answer anything, he just smiled and let go of her shoulder.

“Just be careful. He doesn’t need any help, Liang can handle everything himself.” Gael shrugged nonchalantly.

“Ughum!” Nakano nodded vigorously before following Liang.

Some keepers did as she did, but most were afraid to follow Liang into another world. Moreover, someone had to stay here anyway to keep an eye on security.

“Damn… They managed to make him angry and Alucard’s words definitely had an effect on him. Now, Liang would not and would not want to hold back. Constructs are really in a bad position.” Sven said seriously with his arms crossed on his chest.

“Well, this is the worst thing that could have happened for them. They decided to take a risk and made a serious mistake, so now they have to face the consequences of their actions.” Wain smirked.

Gael who was the only Progenitor left in Axalt World looked around. He could have followed Liang and Alucard to watch Liang’s battle, but he had another option.

Gael glanced in World of Darkness, clearly seeing that from one far away space, someone was looking at him. This one was carefully trying to hide, but it was quite easy for Gael to spot it.

“Well… Looks like I have a score to settle with someone, though it’s a long history, but given the circumstances today is the right time.” Gael muttered before taking a step forward.

Streams of ash concealed him, moving him a far distance away, to the entrance of one of the largest spaces in this world.

Unlike Liang who had cut his way through with his sword, Gael had no such need as he was expected.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

A massive green magic circle shone brightly as a gate with a long emerald serpent around its edge appeared from it.

Gael nodded, and then he opened the gate, entering the world.

At that moment, for Wain, Sven, Marlis, and Alucard, time stopped for a moment. They had to choose whose memories to see first before moving on to the second part. After all, Alucard’s and Gael’s memories were important for understanding what happened in the past.

“Well, we started with Alucard, so we will follow it.” Wain said confidently before tearing forward, moving towards Construct World.

Sven, Marlis, and Osvald exchanged glances as they followed him. They had no reason to protest his opinion, either way equally or later they would see everything they needed to see.

…

Step. Step. Step.

Liang slowly walked across the wasteland that was left after one of the Construct Cities. Now, instead of a thriving part of civilization, it was a huge crater covered only in dust and ashes. Liang wasn’t going to spare anyone, as he didn’t really care.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble. 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝙤𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝒎

Two huge mechanical islands appeared out of nowhere with lightning discharges. They weren’t as big as the one that had infiltrated Axalt World, but they were of a higher level. Their cannons absorbed energy not only from resources but also from the environment of the Construct World.

They were already ready to fire, so a few seconds after the islands appeared, two powerful lasers rained down on Liang. Their firepower was enough to kill a God Stage creature and even wound a Progenitor.

However, it was useless against Liang.

Whooooooooosh.

He swung his sword a few times, then hundreds of streaks appeared on the islands, and they disintegrated into thousands of pieces, collapsing to the ground.

A moment later, the lasers reached Liang, but he simply threw them aside with a smooth swing of his sword, heading towards the mountain in the distance. As with the city, there was nothing left of the mountain.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve been here, but if I’m not mistaken, the Tree is located there…” Liang muttered with a cold gaze, looking to the east.

Unlike all other races, Constructs had a special body structure. They were partly mechanisms and it was the Tree that allowed them to improve.

This did not mean that Constructs were helpless without their Tree, but it was a significant engine of their progress and the most important treasure of their entire race. Moreover, aside from the usual, familiar birth method, Constructs could also utilize the help of the Tree.

There were certain limits to the number and speed, but children born this way were more often than not better than their peers in every way.

For Constructs, the Tree was the most intimate or even sacred thing, it was the mark of their race and the most important part of their world.

So, that was why Liang was going there when he reached the tree, he would be able to calm his Wrath and enjoy fighting against the entire race. This was what he wanted, not meditation and training for several years.

“Stop!” A powerful voice sounded as moments later in front of Liang, a multitude of Constructs soared into the air.

They were all on Fifth Chronicle at different Stages. They were the defenders of the nearby cities and their main task was to get rid of the intruder.

“Hmph, why?” Liang arrogantly uttered, not hiding the disdain that each of them felt.

The man with short green hair frowned.

“You’ve done enough! War is already inevitable, so I suggest you go back to your world unless you want us to kill you right here and now!”

Liang tilted his head, “Are you an idiot? You’re just a bunch of weaklings who will forever remain in Fifth Chronicle, this is the absolute limit for you. That said, you decided to piss off someone much stronger than you, that’s your greatest mistake.”

“What…?” The man muttered in confusion, he did not expect that Liang would not react to his words in any way.

Liang sighed, shook his head, and took a step forward. In a heartbeat, he found himself behind all the guardians, not looking back at them since their lives were already over.

The guardians didn’t even have time to realize what had happened when their heads flew off their shoulders with a powerful stream of blood.
