Chapter 800 Time-Skip (8) The young lions
( The kids, 12 years after the birth of Kremeth Jr )
Jake and Amy finally turned 19, while Kartikeya was 16 as Kremeth Junior turned 12.
Rudra's job in mentoring the kids was almost at the finish line as he felt like all three of his own children were ready to go and start living a normal life in the universe by joining the True Elites guild or re-settling on Radiance.
Under his strict training and supervision, all three kids had attained god-hood and were way stronger than their mothers, with the interesting part being that all the kids underwent the traditional promotion with the celestials as a witness and did not opt for the queen.
Jake, the eldest brother and the Knight was the strongest of the three kids.
Mirroring Rudra, he was a balanced fighter who not only had powerful attacks under his belt but could also defend and trap his enemies well.
Amongst all the kids, he absorbed the most of Rudra's battle strategy and acumen as he fought battle's with his brain rather than through brawn alone.
At tier6, he lacked actual combat experience to understand where he placed in the universal hierarchy, not having faced any opponents except his father and siblings, however, Rudra was confident in leaving the security of the family to him, which was a big complement.
Just like every teenager, he also underwent his rebellious phase in the last few years, wanting to go explore the universe and meet other people, however, he was slowly growing out of that phase and settling into his role as the next head of the family.
Amy on the other hand was a true treasure for any army to have on their side.
As a warrior she was only as strong as an average tier6 god with very limited offensive abilities under her belt, however, as a healer she was unparalleled.
She could cast AOE healing spells with such a wide range that she could practically heal hundreds of thousands of soldiers of minor wounds like cuts and bruises within seconds.
Capable of performing bone regeneration and limb reconstruction, there was nothing she could not perform apart from bringing the dead back to life.
If Jake was being groomed to be the next head of the Rajput family, she was undoubtedly being trained by her mother's to become the glue that held the family together.
Talented at housework and cooking as well as having both her brothers respond to her every whim, it was Amy who kept fights from breaking up within the house and provided emotional and physical support to her brothers after they were beaten black and blue by their father's.
In contrast, Kartikeya who was the youngest was also the black sheep of the Rajput family.
He acted without a care in the world, and took no responsibility towards the wellbeing of the family.
His real life behaviour was indistinct-able from his class the ' Berserker ' and he pretty much did what he wanted, when he wanted, however he wanted it to be done.
As a warrior, he was on-track to beat even his brother as if the two fought ten duels, if Jake won 7 then Kartikeya at age 16 still had the strength to win 3.
His defeats were often because he fought without a care about the word ' Defense ' and attacked with such vigour that the fight either ended with his opponent in pieces of him being running out of HP.
Their father called Kartikeya the ' White Beast ' and both Jake and Amy had to agree to that nickname as Kartikeya literally fought as if he felt no pain and had no fear of losing his life.
Thankfully he was part angel and had a constitution much stronger than Jake and Amy, which allowed him a greater vitality reserve to waste, however, lately his single minded approach to fighting had begun to bother even their father.
It wasn't that Kartikeya was not capable of being cunning.
As Shakuni's son, he was as cunning as Jake when he wanted to be, however, he seemed to feel a thrill in beating his opponent and making waste of all their plans through brute strength alone as it seemed to give him a great ' Kick '.
Rudra believed that it was just a phase which would transition out as the brat matured, however, secretly he was extremely proud of the way that all three of his children carried themselves.
Jake was the perfect elder brother, stoic, stable, strong and reliable.
Amy was the perfect elder sister being loving, demanding, caring and kind.
While Kartikeya was the rascal that was everyone's darling who was crazy, drunk on becoming powerful, ambitious, fearless and destined for greatness.

( present day, The Rajput family )
The dinner table of the Rajput household was lively.
The three children were extremely hungry after the day's training, while Rudra was happy to sit in-between his two beautiful wives and eat dinner.
Rudra had given Naomi the tier10 shard of life to extend her youth and life for several years to come so that she could live a long life like the rest of them as unlike Ruby she did not have it in her to reach the tier6 realm on her own.
This made Naomi a little vulnerable on her own as she could not fly or traverse space like the others, but Rudra was not too worried.
His children could now contribute towards the family protection as well and he was proud of how strong all of them turned out.
He had been training the kids for over a decade now and it had been a hell of a ride.
After accepting the seed of knowledge from Odin, he had not only taught the kids some of the best techniques that were to be learnt in the universe from a foundation standpoint, he also mentored them into becoming arguably the strongest warriors of their class.
Soon, it would be time for Rudra to embark on his mission to defeat the queen and the family to return to the controlled universe, which was why he wished to cherish every last moment with them here, as their lives were about to undertake another massive shift.
But for now, he still had time to pass down some of his own personal divine moves to his kids as a reward for completing their gruelling training under him.
