Hero of Darkness
chapter-1021

Future Kahn revealed the existence of a majestic 6 legged and two-winged black stallion with burning red eyes.

This was neither a monster nor a humanoid species of Vantrea as the aura it emanated simply felt otherworldly and divine.

"Sleipnir has served me well and he is one of my most trusted allies in the original timeline.

I brought him with me from the future because he was too good to be left behind." revealed future Kahn as he kept patting the imposing stallion.

"Sleipnir? Isn't that Odin's horse?" asked current Kahn, puzzled by this revelation.

"Yes. He is Odin's horse in Norse Mythology on earth. There, he has 8 legs but this one has only 6 as well as wings.

In Vantrea, he is actually the descendant of one of the 3 Divine Guardians that protect the gateway to a special plane of existence called Realm of the Transcendents." revealed future Kahn.

"Those Guardians are similar to Heimdall who protects the Birfrost, the gateway between Midgard and the realm of Aesir Gods.

They will only let someone after passing the Ascension and becoming a Demi-God." the future Kahn gave a reference that the current Kahn would understand.

"As a matter of fact, you already saw the first guardian after coming to Hesperides." spoke the Martial Emperor.

"Do you mean?…" asked Kahn with eyes wide open.

"Correct. The Celestial Deity is actually the first guardian of the Realm of the Transcendents.

He is currently overseeing Hesperides after the Gods made a pact to kill the Demon God and also started the Conclave of Heroes." revealed the Martial Emperor.

"As for the guardian I'm talking about… It has left two descendant species in this world." he spoke relaxedly.

"One is called Pegasus… And the other is Sleipnir." he declared.

"And if I'm not wrong… the Hero of Light must have already found and made a pact with the Pegasus as events of the original timeline are the same for him.

But because I changed your Divine Abilities and overall route of destiny… It would be impossible for you to find and make the pact with Sleipnir in this timeline." revealed future Kahn in a solemn tone.

"Whoa, whoa! Isn't that risky since it could affect the timeline greatly again?" asked current Kahn.

After hearing how he changed a lot of things from the original timeline like killing Hero of Fire, the Princess of Zivot Empire, and changing the fates of people like Kassandra, Venessa, Emperor Havi, and finally, Maximus himself…

The current Kahn was fairly aware that his minor things could affect how the future would work from this point.

"Yes. But he is also part of the original timeline as far as my life as Hero of Darkness is concerned. So the impact of deviating timeline will be adjusted to a certain degree,

The only difference is that you are meeting Sleipnir a decade earlier than how it was supposed to be.

But if I let him be… he would never be released from the seal in this timeline and would have died at the hands of Hero of Sentience." said future Kahn as he made a shocking revelation.

"Since Pegasus was already bound to the Hero of Light at that time, he came for Sleipnir.

Yet he was not acknowledged so that psychotic bastard, using the seal that was imprisoning Sleipnir along with his own divine abilities, tried to kill him.

That fucker has the habit of destroying and eradicating things he can't use or possess for himself. Luckily, I was also there and stopped him." said Kahn and spoke in a stern tone... "Later, Sleipnir became one of my most powerful metaphorical weapons. So I just couldn't let him die in this timeline since you won't be able to go there now because of the changed fate. Besides, it won't affect the future anyway because of his powers." iterated the Martial Emperor proudly.

"Sleipnir here… can exist in multiple timelines and traverse both past and future." said future Kahn.

Bewildered!

Current Kahn was simply too bewildered after what he just heard. "But he needs to be Free and at his full strength on both ends of time to make any difference. So it doesn't work like how Hero of Time and I returned to the past." iterated future Kahn.

Next, he leaned his head and gently touched it against Sleipnir's.

"Sebka Oolasawom Sdaru Bakyel…" chanted future Kahn and soon, an archaic formation in the shape of a sphere appeared and was placed on current Kahn's chest.

"Chant these exact words and transfer his ownership to Blackwall when you meet him." said Martial Emperor in a commanding voice.

"Among you and your allies, only Blackwall is suited to ride Sleipnir in this timeline." declared future Kahn.

"Why? Shouldn't you be giving him to me instead?" asked current Kahn curiously.

"Because you're not worthy to be his master in this timeline. Plus you have many bloodlines that he detests, especially the Fenrir and Basilisk ones." revealed the Martial Emperor.

"Why? Does he have a complex against his supposed 'half-brothers', Fenrir and Jörmungandr from the Norse Mythology on Earth?" asked current Kahn as he chuckled playfully.

"Something like that. He also detests creatures like Undead and Demons from hell.

Among all of your subordinates, he might like Armin a bit because he is a variant Yggdrasil.

However… Blackwall has the Primordial Titan bloodline and is actually worthy." stated future Kahn with a satisfied countenance.

"And what makes him worthy?" asked Kahn skeptically. Now, even he wanted to know the reason why the future Kahn would rather give Sleipnir to Blackwall than himself in the current timeline.

Future Kahn chuckled and looked at Sleipnir and ordered…

"Sleipnir… Opinbera!" he commanded.

Neigh!

Neigh!

Sleipnir neighed and strode off to their left.

In just 2 seconds, he was already past 10 Kilometers away in Kahn's inner world.

BOOM!!

A vastly terrifying and equally dense aura of Darkness arose as Sleipnir acted on Future Kahn's command to transform and reveal his true self.

Thud!

Thud!

Tap!

Tap!

This time, Kahn was gobsmacked after looking at the transformation and was simply astounded to the point his jaw hit the floor.

Because now…

Slephnir turned into a whopping 5-kilometer-tall horse, breathing out and emanating the aura of pure Darkness and creating an intangible force that even current Kahn could tell contained Space and Time Law together. "Ah, I forgot to tell you his title in Vantrea." spoke future Kahn and revealed in a kingly voice.

"Sleipnir, the Divine Warhorse of Death."
