Chapter 49: The one at the peak
On an island out in the ocean, thousands upon thousands of miles away, there was a man thinking about the news he had just received. He was tall, broad shouldered, and had an incredible tan to testify how much time he spent in the sun. Arthur had just talked to Ra, and found the topic to be the most interesting thing he had heard in a while. According to Ra, not only were the humans about to commence a purge in his name, there was a new champion that might rival him in the future.
Arthur was experiencing the same boredom at he gods themselves became prone to after more than a thousand years of existence. He would usually enjoy passing his time terrorizing kingdoms, saying that he'll spare them if they give him all the beautiful princesses. In some cases though he'd destroy them anyways, then take his time breaking in his new "brides" while they cried about losing their families. The powers he gave them through sex were addictive, so no matter what horrors he inflicted on them or their loved ones they turned submissive in the end, begging for him to continue bedding them. However this too had grown boring when he knew they'd all breakdown eventually.
He was recently thinking of new ways to entertain himself while visiting the kingdoms, and had entertained the idea of war with the non humans. As he thought back he realized he might have said it out loud and made them think it was actually what he wanted. He don't intend to stop it though, his only hesitation was that he would have to go get some more slaves before they were all killed. From his position he could see all of the island that he lived on with his wives and slaves. He had kidnapped girls from the dwarves, eleven, and beast races and given them various tasks to sustain his home.
The elves were his gardeners, growing fruits and vegetables for the island inhabitants. The dwarves were around for maintenance, no one was better at construction than the dwarves. And finally the beast girls were his maids, they had violent dispositions so it was nice to see them knocked down a notch and made submissive. As he thought about the recent news, he decided that he'll spend some time with some of them tonight. He might feel some satisfaction bedding them while informing them that they're whole race is about to be destroyed, while they begged him for more.
The second bit of information he received from Ra was a bit more interesting though. He had long ago pillaged any bits of information regarding chi, mana, or energy, and brought them all to his island. As a result, there was no new masters of magic in the last thousand years that Arthur was active; if there were then they all hid so he couldn't find them. He soon realized that it might have been a mistake to do so however, when all his strength accounted for nothing when no one was left to challenge him, and he couldn't just say, 'sorry' and give it all back.
This was why the idea that there might be someone that could threaten him in the future had actually excited him somewhat. Due to the fact that he wasn't allowed any information on new champions however, all he knew was that they were a mutant. This was enough though, as one of the reasons he decided not to fix the misunderstandings, was that he knew the mutants would be included in the purge. If this new champion was able to survive, then it meant that he deserved the hopes Arthur placed on him for a decent fight.
He decided that he would have to limit his involvement to the mainland to not interfere with his growth. He scrapped his ideas to gather more slaves, and future visits he was planning to make for the wives he planned to collect. He decided, he won't return to the mainland for fifteen years. If this new champion was as capable as Ra thought he was, then this should be enough time for him to properly grow. Arthur would have to deal with his boredom until then though.
What Arthur didn't know though, was that a meeting between several of the gods was taking place about how much of a threat he was starting to become. They reached a conclusion, and quickly sent messages to their respective champions about the oncoming purge.
