"90% that much? Hmm... Mum, you know a way out of this right?" He asked.
Aurora smiled, stood up, and walked towards a cabinet… She opened the door, and brought out a box.
Aaron watched her every move, she sat down, and placed the Box on the table, then pushed it towards him with her finger.
Aaron took the Box and opened it.
"A compass?"
He asked in mild confusion, taking out the old rusted iron compass... He opened it, but the arrows remained still.
"Is it broken?" He asked.
"Fufufu... No, This compass can only operate in the No man's land." She said.
"No man's land?"
Aaron looked up at her.
"Yes, The External Ice Mountain is located in that world... With the na of the place, you would have so understanding about what happens there."
"No man's land... A place that don't welco humans?" He asked.
"Yes... But they don't just welco humans, t
They kill anyone who enters their land... The strongest monster in that land is a lot powerful than a Transcendent... And with 90% of your powers sealed, it'll make it difficult to survive."
Aaron placed the compass on the table, and smiled at her: "Don't worry, Mum. 10% of my powers is more than enough."
He stood up, walked towards Aurora, and gave her a hug: "I'll miss you mum... Please help look after Lilly and Emily." He said, separating.
Stay tuned to empire
Aurora placed her palm on his cheek, and smiled: "You must be careful... And take the box with you, there are pills in it."
"Thank you, Mum." Aaron picked up the Box, and walked towards the door.
"Oh, Son!"
He stopped and turned to Aurora, why picked up he'd teacup and took a sip.
"There's Lipstick on your lips."
"...."
Aaron was stunned, he raised his hand to his lips, and touched the red lipstick... Then rembered Emily.
"Oh? Sorry."
He quickly left the room, causing Aurora to chuckle.
"They grow up so fast."
_______
[Next Day.]
Aaron walked towards Emily's room, and smiled seeing her deep asleep... He walked towards her and kissed her cheek.
"I'm sorry that I can't tell you all I'm leaving, Take care... I'll be back." He placed an envelope beside her bed, and walked towards the door... He looked at her over his shoulder, exhaled, and walked out from the room.
The mont the door closed:
Emily opened her eyes, she touched her cheek and smiled... Then turned her head to the envelope.
"I'll be waiting, Love." She said, picking up the envelope.

Aaron walked out from Terra, and shot into the sky, and flew above the clouds... He looked at the rising sun and smiled.
"In all my past lives, I don't have the privilege to see the sunrise, No superpowers, magic or anything, and in the end, I got killed or betrayed by those I love. But now, I made a family who love , and will never betray for anything, that I know."
He clenched his fist: "And with these new powers I gained yesterday, I promise to take care and Protect them."
He put on his hood, and moved his gaze around.
{You ready?}
Aaron frown hearing a voice in his head; "Uh? Who are you?"
{I'm the architect of the All Seeing Eyes... To gain your complete powers, et on the mountain peak before a week runs out... I'll be waiting, God of the sky.}
"Wait! How can I get to the No man world?"
{Your powers are still active, You'll know what to do.}
With that said, Aaron didn't hear anything again.
Whoosh!!!
He turned his head to the side, seeing a red gateway opening so ters away.
"Hmm..."
With one last look at Terra, he flew towards the gateway, and entered.
****
Aaron appeared in an opened dried landscape, he moved his confused gaze around the place, seeing Nine n, of all sizes, moving their gazes around.
"Uh? Where am I?" He muttered to himself.
{You are close God of the Sky...}
Aaron slowly nodded, the next mont, an invisible force struck him, pushing him so steps backward.
"This!!"
{Error!!}
{Shutting down.}
"What?"
{DING!}
{All seeing eyes have shut down.}
Aaron blinked in shock: "What can shut down the All Seeing Eyes?"
He tried to activate the eyes, but nothing happened.
{Young god, you lose 90% of your powers, now co to ... I'll be waiting.}
He heard the man's voice again... Although he was confused, he remained calm.
"Ok, I can do this... I'll just have to use my previous lives experience in this world."
He added, staring at the forest in front of them... He frowned seeing figures walking out from the forest, so were in armors, while others are in Overcoats... Michael's overcoats. Not only that, he saw;
'Reaper? Michael's walker?' He was stunned.
___
The total of 73 figures, consisting of males and females stared at the ten males before them in a daze, all flabbergasted.
"What the hell...?!"
An old woman, who looks her late 60s walked out from the strangers, stunning Aaron... Although she looks old, her body was filled with vitality... And clearly an Elite dal holder.
"AI, how many are we guarding?" She asked.
< One.>
Aaron heard a voice answering her question.
'What is happening here?' he thought.
The strangers were even more confused, staring at the ten n like fools, while Aaron and the n were also staring at them.
"Vice Guild Master, Isn't that a kid?" A muscular man asked a blue hair beauty, who was in the sa Overcoat as Michael's. He was pointing his finger at Aaron.
"Yes... A 15 years old, I think." A middle-age said, his gaze observing the n before them.
Whoosh!!
The players, sharply turned around to the forest, seeing a getaway opening before them.
"This?"
THUD!
Reaper, Shenras, and the four other commanders walked out.
"Monsters!!!!" The old woman yelled.
"Reaper?" Aaron was stunned.
The players quickly summoned their weapons, so pulled out their swords, and got in a defensive posture.
"Stop!!"
The blue hair lady raised her hand, stopping the strangers, when they saw her, and her group who were all in overcoats... They were amazed.
"It's the Conquerors!"
"Yes! But why does that Wolf looks familiar?"
"...."
The old woman was silent, silently watching the lady who stopped her. The blue hair lady walked towards another woman.
"We forgot you don't have an AI bracelet... Shenras." She sighed, and turned to Reaper.
"We're in so kind of trouble here, can any of you help?"
Reaper moved his gaze around the dried landscape, and fixed it on Aaron... Reaper's eyes narrowed, while Aaron smirked at him.
"*What's he doing here?*" Apate asked.
The most beautiful human Aaron has ever seen, with long silver hair, and green eyes followed the walkers' gazes, and fixed hers on him.
"You know him?" She asked, while the five walkers nodded their heads.
The players looked at one another in confusion.
Why would the Conquerors be interested with a Kid? When the voice made it clear they are guarding a man, not a boy.
Queen-of-Death and the elders all turned to Aaron, and asked:
"Who is he?"
"*Aaron*"
The walkers said in unison.
None of the figures in overcoats, have heard of the na, but what if; Aaron is the one they'll be leading, and guarding?
Without hesitation, the blue hair lady pointed at Aaron. "We choose him."
{You have been chosen by the Conquerors, do you accept?}
Aaron thought for so seconds, and nodded.
After so seconds, the voice sounded all over the place.
{First Team have chosen their Man.}
{The remaining Nine teams should choose.}
The old woman pointed her finger at a young man, and the four n behind her nodded in agreent.
{Second team have chosen their Man.}
{The Remaining eight teams should choose.}
'I don't get, are they picking a man each? What is happening here?' Aaron was getting more confused.
The muscular man watched as the rest teams choose all the n, remaining one for his team.
"What should we do, Jas? Pick like the others?" The young girl asked.
"No, Scarlett... We'll stick with our guild... There's one thing I have learned from VRG, Don't always trust AI..."
With that said, he yelled:
"We join this Kid!!"
"Uh?"
"..."
Aaron: 'VRG? What's that? And what's AI?'
Everyone was stunned, they all turned their heads to the muscular man and his team.
"Doesn't he know the Conquerors already picked that Kid?"
"Don't you know that guy?! He's a mber of The Conquerors, that must be the reason he chose that kid."
"But, will AI accept it...? There must be a reason why they ten males here." Another player said.
"Let's see how AI will reject him."
{The Fifth Team have chosen their man.}
"UH????"
"....!??"
"WHAT?!!!!"
"We Can Choose the sa man?!!!"
"Why didn't AI give us that information?!!"
"Stop shouting!!"
The old woman yelled, the players quickly quiet down.
"Don't yell here, out of all the n, One is the original one... We have all picked our guard, so now... Stick with it, and pray it's the real one... 50-50!!"
'50-50? Are they taking this as a ga?' They were confusing Aaron more.
The players slowly nodded their heads:
"Mrs X has a point!"
"Yes!"
The four n behind her smiled with satisfaction, their gazes cold and arrogant.
The blue hair beauty just rolled her eyes at them, and turned to her group; they ford a circle with Aaron, and she tapped on her bracelet.
Aaron stared at the Holographic image before them in surprised, and tried his best to read the map... But the unknown languages made this seemingly easy task extrely difficult... Top it up, no All Seeing Eyes.
"What is this?"
A guy with red hair pointed his finger at a map, the whole map was blank, pure white, with only the languages marking the landmarks.
The group followed his finger and stared at the landmarks he pointed.
[قبور الآله]
[Translation: Gods' Graves.]
"What do you think that stands for?" Another guy asked, turning to the red hair guy.
"That's Arabic? And I think it has sothing related to... Graves?" A girl said, lost in thought... After a whole ten seconds, she sighed:
"That's all I rembered. Sorry."
"It's nothing, So of us don't even know what this it, at least you told us sothing related to it."
The muscular who stood behind them said.
'A total of 34 mbers, I can work with this.' Aaron thought, and finally opened his mouth:
"So we're not going there, right?"
They all turned their heads to Aaron in surprised.
