The First Dragon God-Chapter 89: They Are Here

Leo was looking out the window of the apartment he shares with Ves, watching the beautiful night sky that was littered with stars.

He has just had dinner and wanted to rest a bit before going to bed, but his mind was far too occupied with a lot of things to allow him the rest he wants.

Naturally, his thoughts were mostly on the upcoming tournament and the implications it holds.

He had tried to push the thoughts out of his head but not matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t. The fact that in two weeks time, a massive one-man-standing tournament is going to hold on Earth doesn’t help matters.

Also, the warning that Tatiana gave him before she left, made him even more uncomfortable.

Chaos.

He knew that with people that are as strong as Tatiana and even stronger, joining the competition, things are going to be very difficult for everyone on Earth.

He doesn’t know how strong other people are, but no matter which angle he looks at it from, things aren’t looking up for them.

Even before the tournament, everyone already has a lot on their plates with the zombies and mutant creatures.

Leo knew that one way or the other, they are fucked. The only way to change their current circumstances is to increase their strength but that also isn’t exactly easy.

To increase their strength, they will have to continue killings zombies and mutant creatures, and the two groups aren’t ones to go down without a fight. In fact, Leo felt that with the upcoming tournament, killing them will become very difficult.

From what he was able to deduce from the announcement, came to what he feels to be a wild conjecture.

The conjecture was that since every race in the Multiverse will be participating in the tournament, then that means that the mutant creatures on Earth will also be participating. Maybe even the zombies too....

The reason why Leo feels this way is because the mutant creatures are natural inhabitants of Earth before its awakening. This means that they are also inhabitants of the tournament host world.

Leo sighed helplessly when he thought of this. He felt that he was just complicating things for himself by overthinking. He knew that no amount of thoughts can change anything. He can make peace with everything and do the only he knows he can do; get stronger.

"You’re still up?"

A familiar voice came from behind, slightly startling Leo. He turned to look and he saw Ves standing behind him, with a small smile on her face.

He sighed and turned back, with his gaze directed back at the night sky.

"Yes, Ms Ves. I couldn’t sleep. Had a lot on my mind," he replied, as he turned back to watch her walk and stand beside him.

"You?" He asked, even though he knew the reason she was still awake.

"Same as you. My head was too occupied for me to fall asleep." Ves sighed.

"You’re thinking about it?" She asked, as she also started looking at the night sky, mirroring Leo’s action.

"Yes." Leo sighed.

"Yeah. I thought as much. I wonder if it’s possible not to participate. Like... You know? Just stand aside in a corner and watch everything unfold?" Ves asked, but the question was more to herself than it was directed to Leo.

"That’s impossible. The announcement said that Earth is hosting the tournament, which means that everything will be held here," Leo replied.

"True. We can’t be bystanders," Ves said in acknowledgement of Leo’s words.

"Yeah but even without the tournament, things are already hard enough. We had the zombies and mutant creatures to worry about. Now... Now, we also have to worry about the other races that will also be participating." Leo said, causing Ves to frown.

"I’m actually curious about that these races that will also be participating in the tournament. Who are they? Where are they from?" Ves asked curiously.

Leo heard Ves’ questions and someone’s face popped up in his head, followed with a thought.

’Should I tell her about Tatiana?’ he thought to himself.

Leo felt that it was the right thing to do. With the amount of care and trust he and Ves has for each other, Leo felt and knew that he could tell her anything.

Also, with how things are looking, he felt that he should start letting out more information to Ms Ves. Not that he has much anyway, but the little he has is enough.

And he feels that Ms Ves might feel disappointed or sad if she finds it out herself about it later.

’What if she thinks I kept this from her because I don’t trust her? What if she feels betrayed? But… it’s better she hears it from me now than discovers it later. She deserves the truth.’

With that, he came to a conclusion and decided to tell Ves about Tatiana.

"Ms Ves, there’s something I need to tell you," Leo said.

"What is it, Leo," Ves asked curiously, as she turned to look at Leo with a warm expression on her face.

"It’s about the people from other races that will be participating in the tournament. I know one of them," Leo said, and started telling Ves about Tatiana and everything he knows about the tournament.

He started from the first time they met on the day the apocalypse began, till their last encounter.

Ves was no doubt shocked when she heard everything from Leo. She had no idea that someone like that had been among them and she didn’t even notice at all.

Tatiana’s unnoticed presence wasn’t what shocked Ves. What actually shocked her was her strength. Exalted Rank.

From what Leo said, everyone begins at the Awakened Rank, then grow and evolve, entering the Evolved Rank, then the next is the Exalted Rank.

This information made her to remember their encounter with that massive monstrosity, earlier in the morning.

Ves felt that there’s no way that that, that monster will be stronger than Tatiana. If this is so.... Then it means that everyone on Earth is cooked.

She felt that there’s no way that people like Tatiana, from other races will be weaker than her. In fact, she felt that they will even be stronger.

Ves frowned deeply when she thought of this.

"Leo, where is she now?" She asked.

"She said that she’s going to get something for you. I don’t know what it is or when she’s coming back. She just told me to increase my strength and that of those around me," Leo replied.

Immediately after he said that, the night sky fractured like glass, cracks of blinding light spreading across the stars. A wave of pressure rolled over the apartment, making the glass in the windows tremble.

Ves clutched the windowsill, her breath hitching as a figure emerged from the light, their silhouette radiating an aura of overwhelming power.

"Is this the tournament’s host world? What a backwater world indeed. Home to nothing but pests." A loud and powerful voice said, booming across the night sky and sending a chill down the spine of those that heard it.

The following moment, more lights exploded in the sky and more figures stepped out.

Leo, who was looking at the night sky, realised what was happening.

"They are here."
