Three things, each as important as the other.
Klaus doesn’t know the story between him and Pickle Berry, so it was only natural to assume it wasn’t a simple one.
He wanted to find out why he felt such a strong attachment to a mere snake. He most certainly didn’t know why or what could have happened between him and the snake to face the heavens in the end.
The story between him and Pickle Berry is one he must know.
Although he doesn’t know yet, the just-ended battle between him and the heavens was because of Pickle Berry. They didn’t want her alive, for she knew too much.
He didn’t know that, but he could feel it, and as such, he wanted to know why.
But then again, there is the Awakening.
It was something Klaus had already started planning for. If anything, he most certainly would want to know something about it.
This is the moment he can know something he doesn’t know yet. Naturally, he knew nothing; all he knew was that Earth would awaken, and it would be when the universe would recognize it.
That was all.
The mysterious figure showed him a scene of him facing millions of monsters, beasts, and weird beings from other worlds, including Earth and the moon.
That was all he knew.
“Where should I start?” the figure started thinking, making Klaus open his figure and land a slap in his face, but he giggled and dodged like how a mother could easily handle punches from their newborn.
“This bastard. Why don’t you start with your name and which incarnation you are from? Then, we can figure out the rest.”
Klaus said, knowing hurting his incarnations can wait until he surpasses them in strength.
“Very well. Pay attention, for you are in the presence of a being who once made the heavens cry blood of tears.”
“Tsk, as if anyone will believe that,” Klaus chuckled, causing the figure to land a slap on the back of his head.
He wasn’t able to defend or dodge.
“You will find out anyway. But I am Kaden, the Elemental Lord, the Beast Cultivator, the one that made the heavens cry blood tears.
I am the 8th and the Master, Friend, and Brother of Pickle Berry, the Five-Headed Elemental Serpent.” A smile appeared on his face.
“Only five? I have the potential to awaken dozens, for I am the Elemental Overlord,” Klaus also bragged, feeling Kaden was smug about having command over five elements.
“And who do you think made it possible for you to be smug now? It was I who made sure your control over the elements was made possible.
No need to thank me.”
“Tsk…” Klaus chuckled again.
“Go ahead, let’s start with Pickle Berry then since we are on the topic of the elements. I want to know more about the five-headed elemental serpent.”
Kaden smiled.
“Pickle Berry is no longer an elemental serpent. She is more like a Law Serpent and isn’t a five-headed serpent anymore but a nine.”
Klaus raised an eyebrow upon hearing that. It doesn’t make sense.
“There’s no need to look confused. What happened many years ago caused all this change.” Kaden smiles again.
“Why don’t I tell you a story?” Klaus nodded.
“There once was a Supreme Human named Kaden. His mom called him Kaddy, or King, for he was her king. This child is one lazy bastard.
He doesn’t want to grow up so that his mother can always look after him. He had many friends and was very happy.
However, it came crashing down when the heavens struck, destroying his peaceful life. He wasn’t happy anymore, and his life was ending.
However, just when it all came crashing down, a beautiful snake crawled toward him and started flicking her tongue at him.
Kaden recognized this snake as one of the deadliest snakes in the wild, so he made up his mind and gave his hand to the snake to bite. This way, he would die and reunite with his mother.
However, instead of biting him, the snake started licking his arm. This puzzled him, so he decided to taunt her.
He used his finger to strike her head. However, the moment he did, his life changed. He saw that all this while, he wasn’t ordinary.
He thought he was the weakest of all his peers, but in truth, he wasn’t. He was the strongest of them all.
That day, the one destined to make the heavens bleed awakened the lightning element, one of the rarest elements in existence.
He also gained many abilities.
Ten days later, he awakened the Flame element, making him a dual elementalist. It was then Pickle Berry grew her second head, making her a double-headed elemental serpent.
Five months later, her third head grew, and Kaden gained the Metal element straight instead of going through the Earth element like everyone else.
At this point, Kaden starts to see that he is dangerous, so he recognizes that his destiny will be fulfilled.
Within a year and a half, Kaden awakened the Ice and Water elements, too, making him command five elements. Pickle Berry also became a five-headed elemental serpent.
She became a terrifying existence.
However, that was when the heavens struck for the second time.
Kaden, who had no idea he was a paragon, killed a Heaven Chosen, a trap he never saw coming, for he never expected that.
This action of his called down a heavenly punishment aimed at his life.
However, to save him, Pickle Berry burned her four remaining lives, saving Kaden. This caused her to forever remain in the five-headed form.
However, because of this mischief from the heavens, Kaden targeted them, and so for thousands of years, he rose through the ranks, going against the heavens at every turn.
However, one of these days, he became aware of a secret that could give the heavens a good slap in the face and make them cry in return.
After years of carnage, Kaden discovered that the heavens were creating or found a way to create their own paragon-like existences.
Naturally, we do what we do best, and that is to steal from them and, if not possible, destroy them.
I am sorry about that, for it was due to that decision that your life would never know peace.
I am also sorry for that. Now that Pickle Berry has returned to you, you will understand why the heavens want to take everything from you.
Kaden sighed.
