As Raiden was heading to the meeting location, he checked his System notifications, they were buzzing after he talked to Empty Hand, so he wanted to know what was it about
{King Rama Bond Level Has Increased 17→20}
{King Iskandar Bond Level Has Increased 8→11}
{King Arthur Bond Level Has Increased 10→13}
{King David Bond Level Has Increased 5→8}
{King Ozymandias Bond Level Has Increased 10→14}
{King Gilgamesh Bond Level Has Increased 4→7}
{
Host has reached 'Bond 5' with the Servant Gilgamesh
Host Can choose one of these Skills:
Charisma A+ (Rank Update)
Golden Rule A
Collector EX
}
Looking at the notifications, Raiden noticed how all of them had been Kings ("They must have really liked how I handled Empty Hand? Interesting, Well if that's what you all like, get ready for more fun, I'm about to flip this world upside down, My son is about to be born, and I won't be letting him live in a world filled with rotten mongrels and pathetic evil, I'll make it a heaven")
Looking at the Skills, Raiden picked {Charisma A+} it was an obvious choice for him ("Even my B Charisma has me charming the world, let's see what A+ charisma is like")
{Obtained Charisma A+
Charisma A+ has Merged with Charisma B
Obtained Charisma A+++}
[Charisma A+++: is a composite Skill consisting of a person's charm as well as the natural talent to command or unify an army or country. Increases the ability of allies during group battles At this Rank, it is no longer popularity or skill, but rather a kind of spell (curse) in itself. An army led by him or her will have a tremendous increase in abilities.]
Looking at the skill, Raiden smiled, this was the perfect opportunity for him to start his movement
{Host has received a mental message, Would you like to Accept?
Y/N
Sender: Gaia}
Seeing the notification, Raiden looked at the time, knowing that he had time, he immediately pressed yes
…
"Welcome, my beloved child. It is a joy and an honor to see you face to face once more." Spoke the voice, An ethereal beauty, amongst the heavens, she was more beautiful than all of them, she was standing, wearing a white dress, that was made of the finest silk in the universe
"It's good to see you Again, Gaia, the honor is all mine," said Raiden as he attempted to bow in respect, but then a force of an unknown origin stopped him
"My dear child, if you are to be the King, then you shall bow to no one. For you will be the honored one upon the throne of Gaia." spoke Gaia as she pointed to the massive golden-endowed throne beside her, he stared at it, a magnetic force of some sorts was pulling him forward, wanting him to sit on
As he started to walk, Raiden realized something ("It's me, No external force, no mind control, no magic, I want this") the force of an unknown origin was nothing more than his pride
As he walked towards it, Raiden sat down, feeling his body relax as if it belonged there, it was meant to be there, he was the King
"Gaia offers her praise to her honored King, King Raiden Kagawa, my dear liege." As Gaia bowed, another figure emerged behind her, she was too a beauty as well, she looked eerily similar to Gaia in terms of looks, but younger, at first Raiden assumed she was her daughter but then she spoke
"In my perception, Host remains insufficiently developed to assume the throne of Gaia. Nevertheless, in accordance with the decree of my Goddess, I will comply. Alaya bestows her reverence upon her esteemed King, King Raiden Kagawa." As the girl spoke, and kneeled Raiden opened his eyes wide as he spoke "your voice…."
Gaia raised her head as she said "My liege, her voice is familiar to you, for she designed the System, the Fate System. She is my creation, Alaya. Calling her my daughter would not be incorrect."
Looking at Alaya, Raiden nodded his head as he spoke "I thank you Alaya, your creation, has been the greatest help to my life, I sit here, because of it"
"Your assertion is erroneous. I merely facilitated the host in managing his capabilities. The heroes will forever reside within you, regardless of your possession of the system. Take pride, My Liege." replied Alaya, to which Raiden had a faint smile as he said "I am, but I still would like to thank you, don't deny this king's act of kindness"
"I do not comprehend. However, I acknowledge my appreciation."
Seeing this was over, Raiden turned to Gaia and said "I'm honored that you have given me this presentation, but Even I know that, I'm still way off this level of respect from you, Goddess, so tell me, what is this all about? Why Am I Here?"
"My dear, it's a simple truth: I sincerely desire for you to ascend the throne of my land. This act is my pledge of allegiance to you. As for why I summoned you, it was due to your recent communication. I learned of your contact with Empty Hand only after Alaya informed me." hearing Gaia's words, Raiden placed his elbow on the throne's armrest as he rested his hand on his knuckles and said "Go on, I believe you already know of what he told me, the same thing you said about Darkseid, so nothing new"
"Indeed, what he failed to mention is that not all members of his Dark Army hail from our universe. One of them has recently arrived and roams freely upon my land. He originates from a different Gaia, another Earth—a Dead Gaia." as she spoke Gaia seemed to show some sadness upon hearing another her from an alternate reality has died
"Yes that does seem possible, he said he's from the Dark Multiverse, I don't know much about Multiverses, But I assume they're worlds similar to ours, yet slightly different?" asked Raiden as he recalled, Empty Hand's words
"You are mostly correct. The entity that has entered my land is indeed from a similar Gaia. However, to have traversed between worlds, he must have been aware of the dangers and chosen to come here, indicating great strength. While I lack detailed information about him, I know the Justice League does. Without knowing he hails from a different multiverse, I can only provide you with his name: Neil Queen." Hearing that, Raiden nodded his head, as he said "I see, then I'll be sure to deal with him"
"My dear Raiden, I must warn you: whoever he is, he possesses great strength, enough to be a part of the Dark Army." warned Gaia as she felt worried about what Raiden was about to face, to which Raiden said
"Don't worry, I learned a valuable lesson during my stay in the Phantom Zone, I am the Honored one, I am the King, but I'm also only one person, a King is no King without his Army"
…
Back In the Justice League Meeting
…
"What do any of you know about the Multiverse?"
Everyone stayed quiet upon hearing Raiden's question, it wasn't that they didn't know what it meant, the Multiverse theory was very famous, and each of them had a very good understanding of it, however, hearing it come from Raiden, meant that it wasn't a theory no more, but rather something serious
"The multiverse theory is a concept from quantum physics and cosmology. It suggests that our universe is just one of many universes that exist simultaneously. These universes make up what we call the multiverse." Replied Batman, he knew they all knew this, but he only spoke to get the conversation going
"Yeah, Well something like that, you wanted why am I suggesting these radical ideas of me becoming a King and uniting Earth right? Well, recently, I met someone, an Entity, a dark one, and he's waging war, on the multiverse itself, we're part of that, and sooner or later, we'll be facing Dangerous entities, not on the level of Joker, the Reach or Savage, instead we'll be facing each other, another justice league, another superman, another Batman" spoke Raiden as he planted the idea in their minds, he didn't know exactly what kind of entities Empty Hand would send, but he would rather create a fake dangerous scenario to unite them, instead of letting the world run like this
"A Batman that Kills, a Superman that's evil, a lantern corps that spreads evil, a Wonder Woman that's ruthless killer, all of these possibilities and you expect to face them like the way we are? Just recently our group of villains allowed an alien race to walk on our land, and sell products to drug our people, the government wasn't any wiser either, they allowed it, encouraged it, and ignored our warning, those were aliens from space, a multiversal attack isn't so obvious, any second now they could attack, and wage war against us, and the way we are now? We are not ready"
Hearing Raiden speak, they all realized the dangers of what he was saying, a threat on that level, with the ability to launch an all-out attack in any second wasn't to be taken lightly, in fact, what if they were already attacking, securing government positions, posing as one of them, a dangerous thought that ran in the minds of everyone
"Who was the entity that you spoke with?" asked a voice, turning to it, Raiden and everyone was slightly surprised, as it belonged to someone that doesn't usually speak much and only observes the meetings "Since you work for Order, I guess you might know him, he goes by the name Empty Hand"
Hearing that Dr.Fate slammed the table as he sat up and said "Impossible! How do you know that name! are you sure of what you're saying?!!!"
"So you do know him….Then more than anyone here, you know that what I say is the truth, as the servant of order this concerns you the most because no one…Can cause as much Chaos as someone like Empty Hand, the Lord of the Dark Multiverse" Hearing Raiden's words, Dr.Fate went quiet for few seconds, then he said "The Lords of order approve of your plan Gaia's chosen, Nay, in this case, I suppose I shall call you King Raiden"
Upon seeing what Dr.Fate easily accepts Raiden, the entire Justice League was now conflicted, it was split, between people who agree with Raiden's King and unity Idea, and people who don't approve of such a Radical manner of doing things
"I can see that none of you have a decision yet, and I understand, I do not wish to create a civil war between us, for now, I'd like to say, that anything related to Ursa, is on me, and me alone, as for My Kingship, we'll discuss that further in a later time, please carry on with the normal meeting, I know I have shocked you all, but this needed to happen, Even I can't face such threats alone"
Seeing Raiden drop the subject suddenly, the others realized that he was giving them time to process and discuss it amongst themselves later when he wasn't there
Nodding his head Batman spoke "Next, we'll discuss the remnants of the Light. The team's surveillance mission went smoothly. While we couldn't obtain any recordings, we have plenty of evidence connecting Queen Bee, Lex Luthor, Klarion the Witch Boy, and this man." the pictures showed Lex shaking the hand of another man, he was wearing a formal suit, he had a lean body but muscular, he was mid-thirties. And had has short dark brown hair, piercing blue eyes, and a few small scars, one above his right eyebrow and another on his left forearm
"This man has been identified as Neil Quinn. We have no records of him anywhere and can't confirm his origin. We're not sure if he's a meta-human or not, but the way they treated him—with utter respect—suggests he's not just a normal goon." Hearing Batman's words, Raiden said "Well…..Surprise Surprise" said Raiden as he stood up
"Anything you want to say Raiden?" asked Batman, to which Raiden nodded and said
"Funny how we were just talking about this, But this man, Neil Queen, Is from an Alternate Earth"
[A/N: Hey Everyone! I'd like for you all to help increase the engagement in the comments! but not by commenting some Random stuff, instead! how about some name suggestions for Raiden and Raven's first born son! Yes! he's a boy! Please help, I genuinely can't come up with a good name!]
