The Supreme Satanic System

Bobby kept pondering for a while and he uttered softly, "Hmm, I always thought that the Holy Grail is something godly."

Mr. Kupac responded, "I don't know whether this story is wrong or right. I have read from an ancient mural where I pass by in some other universe. You are so wrong to think that the Holy Grail was some ascetic thing; this Omnipotent being also known as Satan was once a god... But for some reason, it went rogue and went from one universe to another, destroying everything in his path. So, all the gods banded together and destroyed his bodies, but he cast a forbidden spell at the eleventh hour, sending out his god's eyes and his soul to somewhere where all the gods were forbidden to enter according to the old heavenly pledge." And he asked with a smile, "Now, do you know why everyone was after the Holy Grail and why it was believed to be within the Earth's solar system?"

"Hmm, so the earth and its solar system were the forbidden grounds for gods.

That's ‌reasonable; we humans have various mythologies in every culture regarding gods and devils and I believed Earth is the only place that had the rich stories in this Titan Remnant's Region but what remains were the stories and their statues. And I believe the four powerful beings Celestial, Titans, Devas, and Asura must be one of the last of them who left this region." Bobby responded unhurriedly.

He further added as he chuckled, "Hee-hee-hee, and I also understand why all those powerhouses and supreme beings in this region are doing their best to get their hands on this so-called Holy Grail crazily."

"Oh, what's it?" Mr. Kupac asked, as all this time Bobby's explanation had intrigued him as everything came into a single picture.

"Isn't that clear enough? Everyone is trying their best….to gain the favors of those  almighty gods you have just mentioned earlier, supposedly if they exist, to begin with." Bobby responded with a grin and he asked, "So, what's the deal with this thing… um… Satan, or whatever you called it? Is there any benefit rather than sucking up those lofty gods?"

"Exactly, even those gods must be envious of this heretic god's eyes, which legend told us ‌as they hold the power and deep understanding to control and manipulate time." Mr. Kupac responded, "We are damn lucky today that he doesn't even have both of his eyes. Otherwise, did you think we can just get away like that after meeting a wrathful god like him? And I'm pretty sure his soul is the only thing that remains inside this pendant. You should come up with a way to destroy the consciousness inside this pendant and try on your own to come up with an idea to integrate it within your soul."

"Is that all? Don't you find any clue regarding my parents in the pendant?" Bobby asked, coming straight to the point.

"Yes-yes-yes, I almost forgot. I can't say whether or not this information may help you at any rate in finding your parents, but the metal which was used to make this pendant is unique…. It's only found in the Firmament Remnant Plane, the world of Dragons and Phoenixes." Mr. Kupac responded, "So, that's it. Alright, since your attitude is up to my liking, I'll offer you one more chance to choose any weapons you prefer from the store. Care to take a tour around?"

"Why not? I like free things anyway." Bobby said jokingly, as he stood up and strolled around the large Weapon store. He walked toward the column where multiple swords were organized, as he didn't even bat an eye on other types of weapons.

Bobby saw that almost all the swords looked magnificent and luxurious, but none of them were to his liking and at the middle of the sword column, he saw a dull-looking black sword with double edge blunt, and even its handle was wrapped with some dirty black linens.

The moment he saw this sword, his attention was all attracted to the sword, which looked exactly like a katana. "Hmm, what a beautiful katana? Sir, I picked this sword."

"Good choice! You're the first customer to pick this sword. Alright, off you go. Your time is up. And don't you ever forget about the favor you owe me? I'll come to you when the time comes." Mr. Kupac said and then he reclined on his chair and started snoring once again.

Bobby was about to bid him before he took his leave, but the old man's attitude made him smile awkwardly.

Therefore, without further ado, he gave a last glance inside the store and rushed out of the exit door.

But the moment he stepped out of the door, he felt a similar feeling of transporting through space when he felt the same time of entering the store.

And the next thing, he realized he was in the same spot just before the store, but when he turned around, he saw that the run-down weapon store was not there anymore.

"Hmm, he's telling the truth," Bobby whispered and continued walking in the Governor's Office's direction.

After several minutes of sauntering, he finally reached the tall building. And when all those soldiers guarding the entrance of the building saw him, they hurried at him and saluted, thumping their fists over their chests.

"Good day, City Master! Please, come in." Then they led him toward the main office.

After that, Bobby let them go to do their duties. Then he walked inside the room and saw Flint working on a bundle of files.

"Governor! How are you doing?" Bobby said beaming.

Flint stood up, welcomed him warmly, and then the two interacted for several minutes.

"Governor Flint, I'm here to ask about 36 Architects who refused to take our contract. Have you found any dirt in any of them and even those who they were acquainted with?" Bobby asked.

p Flint hurried toward his desk, and he took out a thick bundle of files and said, "I got everything here. City lord, after some digging, it turned out those 36 Architects were rotten to the core; some of them were involved in scams, some in heavy scandals, and most of them are corrupted. Now, what should we do?"

"Governor Flint, do anything in your power to end their careers and also used any means possible to make all of them bankrupt," Bobby said and disappeared from inside the room.
