568 The Weakest Member Of The Order Of The Apocalypse


    Six years ago, the Order of the Apocalypse weed their newest member.


    A seven-year-old boy who had no redeeming quality had suddenly be a part of an organization that could terrorize the entirety of Pangea if they happened to cross over to that world.


    When they first met the boy who introduced himself as "Thirteen," they thought that Metatron had made a mistake.


    But how could the God of Apocalypse make a mistake?


    The criteria to be a part of their Order was simple.


    One must defeat any of the existing members to be a member.


    So that begged the question.


    How did an ordinary seven-year-old, whom they could poke to death, manage to be one of their members?


    Arundel was a Majin Prince.


    He gained the title of "The Destroyer" not because he named himself as one, but because his enemies referred to him as such.


    The fact that he was truly defeated by a seven-year-old dumbfounded them until a moment ago.


    The one whonded the killing blow to Arundel hadn''t been Thirteen but Cranky.


    However, the one who became the member was the human boy, not the Honey Badger. Metatron was the final decision maker as to who would be a member of his organization.


    And he deemed Thirteen the true Mastermind for Arundel''s defeat.


    Of course, there were other factors involved, like Thirteen''s true identity, which Metatron had only managed to glimpse due to his divine powers.


    Nevertheless, the moment the boy became the thirteenth Member of the Apocalypse, the other members of his order had started to scheme. Yes.


    When they had finally calmed down, they started to scheme to have their weakest and newest member killed by their acquaintances so that they could increase their influence within the Order of the Apocalypse.


    Even Camazotz searched high and low to find Thirteen, wanting to rob the boy of his authority by cing someone whom he could trust in the order by killing Thirteen. N?v(el)B\\jnn


    However, no one, not even Kamrusepa, managed to find him.


    Her Divination only showed a pair of giant green eyes looking down on her from the heavens, making her feel as if she was just an insignificant insect in the presence of a being that she mustn''t antagonize no matter what.


    Because of this, her interest in Thirteen grew, even going as far as bing part of the small Trinity within the Order of the Apocalypse.


    Six years had passed since then, and the powerless seven-year-old had finally be a Rookie.


    Six years ago, he defeated a Majin Prince.


    Six yearster, he defeated a Majin King.


    After watching the battle from beginning to end, they finally understood that their weakest member wasn''t as weak as they originally thought he was.


    Even they, who thought of mortals as beneath them, couldn''t help but shudder internally as they looked at the teenage boy, who was standing on top of the giant golden staff with his arms crossed over his chest.


    His expression was calm, confident, and domineering.


    It was as if he wasn''t looking at a Majin King but an insect whom he had crushed with his overwhelming might.


    "Well, then. I guess the show is over?"


    Metatron''s voice broke everyone out of their daze, making them breathe once more.


    Some of them hadpletely forgotten how to breathe out of sheer surprise and disbelief they felt the moment the teenage boynded the killing blow on the Ancient Eight-Headed Serpent, whom even they couldn''t defeat.


    A chuckle escaped Metatron''s lips before he waved his hand, making the projection disappear.


    Once the members of the Apocalypse regained theirposure, they all nced at Kamrusepa, who had a faint smile on her face.


    "Did you foresee this as well, Kamrusepa?" Beelzebub asked. "Camazotz is a fool. I''m sure he tried to befriend Thirteen due to personal gains. But you joined their little group, surprising all of us. We have extended our invitations to you, but you rejected them all.


    "Now I understand why you chose to be the nanny of Thirteen and Camazotz. It was all part of the bigger picture. Isn''t that right?"


    Kamrusepa opened her fan and used it to cover her lips, hiding her smile that had widened a bit.


    "I''ll leave the answer to your imagination," Kamrusepa replied. Beelzebub sighed before helplessly shaking his head.


    After everything they had seen, they could only conclude that Kamrusepa already knew Thirteen''s potential, hence why she had invested a lot in their rtionship.


    While the members of the Apocalypse were thinking of how to form connections with Thirteen, the teenage boy stood at the chest of the dead Majin King, still holding the golden staff in his hand.


    Everyone who had joined him in his battle simply stared at his lonely figure. He didn''t look as if he had just performed a miracle, single-handedly winning a battle that many believed was impossible.


    Even Erica couldn''t help but look at him with teary eyes, seeing the usually confident boy she knew look vulnerable at this time.


    Sherry gazed at Zion from a distance, feeling her heart ache, affected by the aura of sadness the teenage boy was emanating.


    Everyone just watched him from a distance, allowing him some time to sort out his feelings.


    Even Leon couldn''t help but feel like he was seeing the "True Face" of Zion Leventis, which he didn''t show to anyone.


    He didn''t look like the arrogant young man whom he envisioned.


    But a person of the same age as him, who was mourning the loss of a monster who had died while protecting him.


    A few minutester, a sigh escaped Thirteen''s lips.


    "I avenged you, Cranky," Thirteen said softly. "If an opportunityes, may our paths cross again."


    Suddenly, the teenage boy felt something grab him from behind.


    He was so immersed in his sadness that he didn''t notice that someone had sneaked up behind him.


    He also didn''t sense any hostility, so he wasn''t able to react in time when he was picked up out of the blue.


    Thirteen turned around and saw the Honey Badger, who had just been lying in a pool of his own blood several minutes ago.


    Cranky then gently put Thirteen to the side before using his ws to pierce the chest area of the dead Majin King.


    Since the Honey Badger was already a Peak Rank 9 Sovereign, its next stage would either be a Majin Prince or an Archon, which was the next stage of its Evolution.

    Seeing this, Camazotz and the three Earth Dragons couldn''t help but curse out loud because they realized what the Honey Badger was trying to do.


    "Oi! Hold it right there!" Camazotz roared as he opened his wings to fly in Cranky''s direction.


    The three Earth Dragons also changed to their human forms before running in Cranky''s direction in order to prevent the Honey Badger from iming the grand prize, which was the Majin King''s Core.


    Unfortunately, they were already toote.


    The moment Cranky forcefully opened the Majin King''s chest, it dug its head into the Majin King''s body and devoured its Core like it was just eating a piece of candy.


    Thirteen, who was watching all of this, stood in a daze because he was certain that Cranky''s heart had already stopped beating when he left him earlier.


    But seeing the Honey Badger greedily devour the Majin King''s Core, he was at a loss, unable to understand how this happened.


    "You damn Honey Badger!" Camazotz roared in anger. "That''s mine! Spit it out!"


    The Death Bat tried to pull away the Giant Honey Badger, but Cranky didn''t budge.


    Half a minuteter, it looked at the Death Bat while still chewing Orochi''s Core, making the Death Bat and the Earth Dragons grit their teeth in frustration.


    "You bastard! Give it back!" Camazotz shouted. "That was supposed to be mine!"


    Cranky looked at the enraged Death Bat for a few seconds before it casually severed one of the Majin King''s serpentine heads.


    It then handed it to Camazotz as if saying "Here, you can have this instead," which almost made the Death Bat cough out blood then and there.


    The three Earth Dragons nced at each other before heaving a deep sigh.


    Since the Majin Core was already gone, they decided to just get what they could and asked Cranky to give them a serpentine head each.


    Cranky was more than happy to give the Earth Dragons their share of the pie, which was considered peanutspared to what the Honey Badger had taken for himself.


    A few minutester, the Honey Badger''s body shrank until it was only three meters tall.


    It then nudged Thirteen''s head with its own, asking the boy if he could enter Rocky''s Mobile Fortress to sleep.


    Cranky was showing signs that it was about to evolve, which was not surprising after it had eaten a Majin Core.


    Since it was going to be in a vulnerable state during its hibernation, Thirteen ordered Rocky to take the Majin King''s body and the drowsy Honey Badger inside the Mobile Fortress.


    He still didn''t know how Cranky was able to revive again, but it no longer mattered.


    ''I''ll just ask him after he finished his evolution,'' Thirteen thought.


    Since the Honey Badger was already a Peak Rank 9 Sovereign, its next stage would either be a Majin Prince or an Archon, which was the next stage of its Evolution.
