Well...
**After that "ominous portal moment"**, we didn't waste time.
Within minutes, **10,000 Secret Soldiers** melted into the forests like they were playing some giant hide-and-seek.
**50,000 elite soldiers** lined up in shining, silver armor, bows and swords ready.
**Four Generals** stood at attention, crackling with battle-lust.
And, of course, standing tall at the front —
**My father**, **Kraelos**, looking like a final boss.
And then... me.
Yours truly.
Lowkey nervous as heck.
Bro, I was feeling my instincts screaming *"RUN"* but pride wouldn't let me.
Suddenly, a **pillar of light** descended from the sky like God pressed the "summon" button.
The ground rumbled.
Animals fled.
Even the clouds were like, "Nah bro, I'm out."
We **surrounded** the area instantly, forming a massive circle of glittering weapons.
I was sweating bullets, my hands shaking slightly.
**Who the heck was coming?!**
Even my **Cryo Metal Sensory** was buzzing like crazy, like a thousand tiny needles poking my skin.
That's when the man appeared.
---
**A man stepped from the light.**
- Gray-haired, magician robes flowing dramatically like some evil Gandalf.
- A **third eye** blinking eerily on his forehead.
- His aura?
- **Like death mixed with sarcasm**.
Before I could even open my mouth, my father took two steps forward, his voice booming like a freaking typhoon:
> **"WHO ARE YOU, BEING?! WHY HAVE YOU COME TO AURORIAN?! WE DO NOT WELCOME YOU HERE!!"**
**Bro.**
I'm not exaggerating —
My father *shouted so hard*, the **trees bent backwards**, birds fell out of the sky mid-flight, and some poor soldier got blown into a bush.
Even I had to hold my ground like "damn."
Every single soldier raised their weapons.
Arrows nocked.
Swords gleamed.
**A forest of death aimed right at him.**
---
But instead of looking scared,
The weird magician just... laughed.
A low, chilling laugh that made my spine tingle.
> "I have come in peace.
> Well, relatively.
> You all talk English? Seems this variable universe is interesting,"
> he said casually, like he was ordering coffee.
He bowed mockingly and said:
> "I am **General Strange**.
> I've traveled countless universes...
> To find Someone. A woman named **Umar**...
> And kill her."
**Father's face turned cold.**
He slammed his sword into the earth —
**CRACK!**
Fissures raced across the ground like wild lightning bolts.
**General Strange's eyes widened slightly**, intrigued.
> "Are you one of the pantheons I haven't met yet? You smell of divinity... similar to the Asgardians but more... backward."
> He laughed, genuinely amused.
**My father**, unamused:
> **"WE DO NOT HAVE THIS UMAR. LEAVE OR FACE OUR WRATH!"**
**General Strange** just chuckled and said:
> "**I am a one-man army.**"
Then —
**BOOM**
He attacked!
---
## THE BATTLE STARTS
**Father moved first.**
AND BRO.
He was **fast.**
**Not normal fast.**
**Not training fast.**
**Not even "snake-slaying" fast.**
I'm talking about **blurred-reality, speed-of-light, body-splitting-fast.**
I couldn't even *see* him properly.
I had to use my **Cryo Sensory** to even *feel* the fight.
**Flashes**.
**Shockwaves**.
**The ground ripping apart** under their feet.
---
**General Strange** started chanting —
Long, ancient incantations that summoned MASSIVE **magical circles** glowing purple and gold.
Each chant sounded like it could erase a mountain.
BUT.
**Father just PUNCHED THEM.**
**BOOM!!**
**One punch.**
**Magic circles shattered like glass.**
General Strange:
> "What the actual hell?"
Me:
> *"Bro really punched magic??"*
> *"Am I watching anime right now??"*
Father didn't use spells.
Father didn't use tricks.
Father just **hit the laws of reality so hard they cried.**
---
**Soldiers and generals were just standing there, mouths open.**
Even **Knox**, the chillest general we had, muttered:
> "So he used it..."
I blinked and said, "Used WHAT?"
Knox grinned and said mysteriously:
> "Your family's secret, of course.
> You think Kraelos is just brawn? He's the strongest Aurorian who ever lived.
> Even if ALL of us fought him at once, we'd lose.
> He's not just a warrior — he's a **born god of war**."
Me:
> "*Internal Screaming.*"
I opened my System Appraisal on my father, but—
> **Name: Kraelos**
> **Race: ???**
> **Age: ???**
> **Abilities: ???**
**WHAT THE HELL?!**
Even the SYSTEM gave up.
That's when I realized:
**Father wasn't normal.
He was BUILT DIFFERENT.**
---
Meanwhile in the fight:
- Kraelos was laughing.
- General Strange was teleporting around like a scared squirrel.
- Flash after flash of black, white, red mist.
General Strange's magic looked like huge gods being summoned —
Father PUNCHED THEM OUT OF EXISTENCE.
**(RIP, Magic God #492.)**
---
## THE TRUE FORM AWAKENS
Suddenly, something changed.
Father **grinned.**
**Really grinned.**
Then a black mist and a deep **reddish aura** exploded from him.
It was like watching a predator being *unleashed*.
- His **gray hair grew longer**, whipping wildly around him.
- His **teeth** sharpened into **beast-like fangs**.
- **Black and red mist** cloaked his entire body.
- When he moved, **white lightning** cracked the ground.
He didn't even need the sword anymore.
His **hands** — now claws — were DEADLIER.
**Knox said solemnly:**
> "**Here he comes... The God of War.**"
---
**The battlefield trembled.**
General Strange's third eye WIDENED.
He tried to teleport away.
TOO LATE.
**Father blurred through reality — and in one thunderous attack:**
- General Strange's right arm: **GONE.**
- His right leg: **GONE.**
- His entire aura: **CRUSHED.**
General Strange coughed blood, laughing hysterically:
> "HAHAHA!
> I never thought I'd be DEFEATED on some BACKWATER PLANET!
> So this universe...
> has its own MONSTERS!"
He screamed:
> "I'LL BE BACK! I'LL KILL HER!"
And then —
**BLACK FLASH — GONE.**
---
**Silence.**
Father just casually wiped the blood off his claws, returning to normal.
His hair shortened.
The mist faded.
He looked at me, still smiling.
> **"We'll talk tomorrow."**
**Then he turned around and shouted to everyone:**
> "**WE HAVE WON!!**"
AND BRO.
The army?
**CHEERED.
ROARED.
CRIED.
SANG.**
It was like someone won the Super Bowl, the Olympics, and their lottery ticket all at once.
---
Me?
I was still standing there, brain fried, thinking:
- "Bro, how am I supposed to surpass THAT?"
- "Bro, he casually destroys MOUNTAINS AND MAGIC."
- "Bro, am I even the main character anymore?"
I sighed deeply, shook my head, and walked back home.
I needed a nap.
And maybe... therapy.
