บท 113: Is this the Power of the God-King?
"Jack..." Verruca stood next to the Light being emitted from the broken pieces of the Glowstone lamp.
Jack was sitting cross-legged, as he floated under the large black hole in the plane of Light, that Jack surmised as the Skull of the Sun God.
His cherubs had finished gathering his soul for him yesterday, and he was now fully absorbed in understanding the Law of Light's Speed. He heard a voice... Very distant... But it was his name, but he was very close to understanding the full Law of Light's Speed. He had a feeling, if he broke his concentration then he would lose this chance for now and didn't know when he would get it again.
Verruca spoke again, "I need you. I don't think I can do this by myself..."
A bit of Jack stirred, but he remained passive. He was so close to understanding the full law... So close!
Verruca thought about what she should say next, as she looked around. She hadn't asked for this kind of help since before she got her coming of age ritual... so many years ago...
She hesitated, before a whisper came to her, [Keep on... That's not going to work. Be honest with yourself, be angry with him, just say it.]
"Haaa~" Verruca sighed.
"JACK!" She shouted.
Jack's flaming eyes snapped open, as they burned with an angry light, as he looked to the south.
"Jack! I need you! I want you! I can't do this here! I've lost all of my troops! I've lost all of my Warmarshals! I've lost the City! Help me!" Verruca started to air out her regrets in her heart.
Jack hurriedly stood up from his place in the light, "Julia?" He could hear her voice so far away. Why could he hear her so far away?
"Jack... I want you to come right now!" A single black tear beaded at the corner of Verruca's right eye.
"I need you. If you don't come, then I know I am nothing to you. If you don't come and fix this, then I know you never felt for me. Just let me die on the battlefield, where I belong. I'm not even a real woman to you, am I? You would rather have a pretty woman like Leslie, or even a little traitor bitch like Emily... You don't want a mannish woman like me... Whatever... Just help me." Verruca didn't sob, but a black tear now fell from her left eye.
"Julia!?!" Jack howled. "WHO!?!?"
A voice echoed in all the Light of the Ruined Continent. It wasn't like when the laughing started, that the whole Underworld heard, but just his Continent was startling all the undead.
Mark turned to look at the Glowstone torch to his left and nodded a few times.
Verruca looked astonished at the Light. She heard Jack call her name, and asked who... She didn't waste time thinking and just responded with the name she hated currently.
"I'm in Zitergall! It's Jakahn that's done this! Jakahn. I hate them! They killed my armies and destroyed your City... They... They hurt me." Verruca choked a bit at the end, as it was hard to admit any of this, but to the one hearing it... It sounded like she sobbed.
"FUCKING JAKAHN! WHO GAVE YOU THE GUTS!!!" Jack roared in the Light, as all the Glowstones on the Ruined Continent trembled as if they were frightened... How does one scare an inanimate object?
Undead around the continent looked to their Glowstones, or on the streets at their lamps, wondering what was going on... It all started with that Laughing not too long ago...
Many of the faithful dropped to their knees worshiping the Glowstones and crying out to the God-King. Especially those that were being invaded by the Dead Tide in Souigak.
The King of Jakahn laid in his room with his two wives when his palace trembled. He looked at the buzzing coming from the Glowstones on his ceiling, and for the first time... Felt fear.
Jack was livid! He was so close to retaining the full Law of Light's Speed... And then someone had the guts to mess with his things... Even if Verruca wasn't his woman, she was his Warmarshal and commander of his armies!
He looked to the south, and quickly thought, [I could take the soul tether back to my body, but how fast would that be? I would need time to adjust to it again... I could... I could just cross over in my soul form. Would that work?]
"Jack, I need you. I really need you. Only you!" Verruca pleaded in the Light, as she got a bit too carried away in the moment.
"Fucked it!" Jack looked up into the giant black hole, as he rushed into it, as a gateway.
Lucius was sitting at his desk in his office. He was working on his paperwork for the church, but Jack's voice startled him. Then he felt a stir in the Light... Like a massive beast had awakened. Thinking back to the day, when the Light pierced the skies of the Underworld, he left his office to go outside the palace. He wanted to see what strange things Jack was going to do this time.
He watched, as a large skeletal hand emerged from the giant chunk of Glowstone that was known as the Skull of the Sun God.
Lucius jaw hung open, as the skeletal hand continued to extend until it almost reached the roof of the Underworld. It was known that the roof of the Underworld was one hundred kilometers, and this skeletal arm almost reached it! That was a hundred-kilometer arm!!!
Soon from the Skull of the Sun Skull emerged a skull and shoulders, as if squeezed from the stone. The Skull of the Sun God was a whopping hundred and fifty meters large, but when compared to the skeletal arm reaching out... It was like a tiny pebble.
Lucius watched in astonishment, as a head and shoulder soon followed. As the eye sockets on the skull of this massive behemoth appeared, they burst out into flames that overshadowed the Light of the Sun Skull.
"It's... It's... It's the God-King." Lucius fell to his knees, as he looked up. before his best friend, he felt for the first time Jack was alien to him, and to himself, felt puny compared to Jack.
Jack emerged to his bony waist above the City of Saigunrai. His upper body radiated pure light, as it was then restrained to his form. Behind his back a large golden halo formed, adding to his magnificence. He continued to grow in size, until his skull was just below the roof of the Underworld, as he loomed in the skyline.
Jack looked around shocked, [Why is everything so damn small???] He could actually look across the vast spaces and see Zitergall in the distance. He could see two armies surrounding the City. It looked to be hit by a nuke and was smoldering in ashes. The two armies didn't look like his people... They looked like his reports told him of Jakahn!
"Jakahn! I have a bottom-line, and you crossed it today. You should pray to me not to destroy you!" Jack said loudly, as his voice shook the continent, even Dragon's Jaw heard him. This wasn't a voice in the light, but a voice in the real world.
He reached out with his skeletal hand, as he appeared on the horizon.
The warriors of Jakahn couldn't help but stare at the massive form in the distance. They could see and hear the Holy Witch King of Deagoth. They could see him reaching out from the distance to them. The collective panic was widespread, as the ranks of the Jakahn warriors broke.
Mark stood on his hilltop, as she stared vacantly at the massive image in the skies. [This... This isn't the plan. Just what the hell are you!?] He couldn't figure this out... Was he as the reports said... A god???
Jack's arm reached across the vast distance to Zitergall, extending well beyond 100 kilometers, as his skeletal arm elongated, and reached down into the City of Zitergall. He plucked an undead from the ruins of the once-great City.
It was a good thing that Verruca didn't have to breath, as she had stopped breathing for a long time now, watching the form of Jack emerge from Saigunrai. Never in her wildest imagination did she see this coming to pass... If Mark, the mastermind, couldn't see this coming, then, how could she?
She saw the massive arm approaching. It looked slow, but it was already above her before she could blink. It reached down and scooped her up. Multiple sonic booms sounded from the air resistance against the skeletal arm and hand that extended after it had scooped her up. She felt the air around her breaking, as she was held inside the bony hand, as she heard the roaring of the wind.
She held onto one of the fingers, at the base, until he opened, and the massive flaming eyes of the God-King was upon her.
She stood up, from where she was and looked straight into the single eye that loomed before her. The eye starred back. The hand-turned and her back appeared to Jack.
"Who... Who was the one that cut you on your back..." Jack's heroic voice turned cold and rumbled like thunder.
Verruca for the first time felt small in this world, as she squeaked out, "General Lee... General Lee of Jakahn."
Jack moved her back from his face, as he asked, "Do you want to see what your husband does now?"
"...Yes..." Verruca said without thought.
Jack closed his fist, as it moved through the distance, and stopped outside the distance of Zitergall, as he placed her on a small hill that overlooked the City from the North.
"Watch what I do." A voice sounded.
She could see Jack reaching over the City of Zitergall and closed his bony fist hard. He squeezed hard, as his luminous fist dripped globs of light. As these drops of light fell, they changed form into small flying Angel of Death Cherubs.
They swarmed into the city of Zitergall like a swarm of Locus.

WHOA!
Is this a Jack illusion or did he get overpowered?
Is this the power of a God-King, that could even baffle Mark???
