Ray of Judgment was drowning in a whirlpool of hatred, rage, and despair.
Expansion was normal in the Secondary Sector! Stronger Organizations consuming weaker Organizations was a given!
Everyone consumed weaker Organizations! The four Organizations in front of Ray of Judgment had done the same thing!
So, why was this suddenly such a big problem?!
Explosive Karma had just been one of these tiny Organizations. Ray of Judgment hadn't even really looked at their member list.
How was this one unimportant and minor Organization still standing in his way, even though it had been dissolved millennia ago!
Ray of Judgment required several seconds to calm down.
"Is there no way to come to an agreement?" he asked with a dark voice.
"No," all four leaders spoke at once.
Ray of Judgment clenched his fists.
"Fine," he said. "I won't get what I want today, but tomorrow is still a day."
His gaze turned frosty. "The next time, I'm not giving you an opportunity to gather all of your forces."
"Well, you better hurry up, then," Manny answered with a chuckle. "We are currently in the process of gathering all of our people on this Planet. Turns out, we suddenly decided to enter a merger."
Ray of Judgment looked at Manny with hatred, but Manny just looked at Star Genesis with a smile.
"You want to be the Head again?" he asked.
Star Genesis nodded.
Swamp Dragon smiled slightly as he looked in the direction of Azure Comet. "Azure Comet is currently surrounded by the Four Tigers Sect. In a way, their presence protects him."
"However, their protection can't compare to ours. They represent wooden walls, while we are a solid brick wall. Why don't we choose a fitting name to represent that dynamic?"
Swamp Dragon looked at his three friends. "We are four powerful Fulfilled Crushers, and we're stronger than four mere tigers."
"How about we name ourselves the Four Dragons?"
Fierce Breaker snorted a quick laugh. "I like the name."
Star Genesis nodded. "It's a fitting name, considering the circumstances."
Manny nodded with a laugh.
Then, the four of them looked at Ray of Judgment. "If you ever want a fight, the Four Dragons will accommodate you," Star Genesis said.
Ray of Judgment just looked at the four of them with a cold gaze.
He knew that he wouldn't be able to get through the territory of the Four Dragons.
While the Four Dragons didn't have a Unique Crusher, their four leaders could fight a Unique Crusher evenly. It was clear…
The Big Four had become the Big Five.
"This is not the last time we will meet," Ray of Judgment spoke coldly. "You've made a terrifying enemy today."
"Ominous but empty words," Fierce Breaker said with a snort. "Go back to your territory. We have a merger to organize."
"Sorry if we don't show you the door," Manny added.
"We're looking forward to your declaration of battle," Star Genesis said.
"Karmic Luck does not equate Karma," Swamp Dragon said. "Today, you were not a victim of Karmic Luck but of Karma."
Ray of Judgment knew that the four of them were just trying to rile him up, which was why he didn't engage with their taunts.
"Before I leave, one last thing," Ray of Judgment said.
The four of them just looked at Ray of Judgment.
"Tell Azure Comet that the Secondary Sector is for the strong. Formation Arrays are an external power source. Formation Arrays are a turtle shell. You can't traverse the world while hiding in a shell."
Ray of Judgment turned around. "If he desires the ability to live freely, he has to leave his shell. His Formation Arrays will not always be there to protect him."
Then, Ray of Judgment called his forces and flew back to Dawnlight.
Ray of Judgment wouldn't reach Kyle today, but there were many paths forward.
Ray of Judgment would find another way to become a Legendary Crusher.
If it came down to it, he would even consider charging through the territories of the Four Dragons to get to him. That would damage Dawnlight's credibility and reputation considerably, but if there was no other way, he would make that sacrifice.
He would get what he wanted.
No matter who stood in his way.
After Dawnlight left, the four leaders looked at their people.
"Today, the Big Four have become the Big Five," Star Genesis announced. "Alone, we are just average powers, but together, we are powerful enough to rule the Secondary Sector."
"We are the Four Dragons, and we will conquer the entire Secondary Sector!"
Some people were still uncertain about the sudden merger, but most supported it.
They would be part of one of the strongest Organizations!
Over the next few days, the four Organizations officially merged to form the Four Dragons.
As soon as the Four Dragons were created, the entire Secondary Sector went into an uproar. An Organization without a single Unique Crusher managed to force Dawnlight to turn around with their tails between their legs!
Several diplomatic notices were sent to the Four Dragons. Even the other members of the Big Five sent some.
A couple of days after the Four Dragons were formed, they sent a diplomatic notice of their own.
The recipient was an Organization by the name of Azure Comet.
The diplomatic notice was essentially just a retelling of what had happened.
When Kyle got the diplomatic notice, his eyes widened, and shortly after, he laughed loudly.
'I fucking love these guys!' Kyle thought. 'I knew they were amazing! Look at this! They created an Organization that can rival one of the Big Four, and I didn't even help!'
'They don't need my help to become outstanding! They're more than good enough by themselves!'
Kyle smiled. 'I'm happy that I can have friends like this!'
Kyle reread the diplomatic notice several times.
Yet, during every reread, his eyes lingered on Ray of Judgment's last words.
'Formation Arrays are a turtle shell, huh?' Kyle thought. 'In a way, I agree with him. Whenever you have the help of some Formation Arrays, growing your Momentum will not be easy. After all, you're not directly engaging with your enemy.'
'But not everything has to revolve around Momentum. You don't have to have a True Battle to kill someone you don't like.'
Kyle put the diplomatic notice aside and looked toward Dawnlight.
'He only has less than 200 years left. That's not enough time for me to learn any new Laws.'
'Seems like I won't be getting my revenge. I really wanted to crush that fucker's face, but you can't have everything you want.'
'Man, I really wanted to crush Dawnlight, but I need my Formation Arrays to do anything to them. I can't create Formation Arrays during a battle.'
Kyle looked at his Planet and its Formation Arrays.
'A turtle shell, huh?'
Then, Kyle's eyes widened, and a grin appeared on his face.
He started chuckling as he designed several new Formation Arrays.
Several months later, Kyle sent two diplomatic notices.
One went to the Four Tigers Sect, while one went to the Four Dragons.
The Four Tigers Sect looked at the diplomatic notice in confusion.
Azure Comet was leaving?
Did that mean that they would get their Law Well back?
Meanwhile, the Four Dragons saw the diplomatic notice and chuckled.
They granted permission for safe passage, as requested by Azure Comet. The Four Tigers Sect looked at Kyle's Planet, trying to figure out what he meant by leaving.
Then, they saw something they would have never expected.
Gigantic spires came out of the Planet, and they all released terrifying storms of Azure Energy.
The world of the Four Tigers Sect shattered as they witnessed the impossible.
The Planet…
It was moving!
Kyle stood on top of his Planet and laughed loudly as his Planet accelerated towards Dawnlight.
"A turtle shell!" he shouted. "Good comparison! Know what turtles can also do, besides hiding in their shell? They can move their shell!"
Kyle looked at the azure color of his Planet's thrusters.
'It's almost like an Azure Comet,' Kyle thought with a chuckle.
Then, he looked towards Dawnlight.
Finally, Kyle created a document and sent it.
It was a declaration of battle, and the recipient was Dawnlight.
"Azure Comet's coming for you, Dawnlight," Kyle said with a smirk.
