Swallowed Star: Strongest

Aria POV

Months later.

Word spread that one of the Monster Emperors was killed by me, half believed it and the other have didn't care about at all as canon was about to begin.

I was in the Extreme Martial Club Headquarters as I was meditating but then I got a call from Hong.

Aria: Yes Sir Hong?

Hong: Someone injured came to see you.

Aria: Who?

Hong: Melina Paulinus.

My eyes widen as I got up wearing a fitted red lingerie, black crop top, fitted blue jean pants, and black low heel boots as I walked to the entrance of the headquarters to see people crowded as I walk through I saw Melina as Hong was looking after her.

Aria: Melina!

I ran to the side of her to see she was heavily wounded as Hong carried her to the doctor. I waited as Hong walked out.

Aria: How is she?

Hong: She needs rest but nothing to severe.

Aria: Who did this to her?

Hong: She said it was a couple of strong warriors who ambushed her after she found something out.

My anger was rising as I gritted my teeth and clench my hands as Thunder God put his hand on my shoulder.

Aria: They're dead.

Then I look to the window as Melina woke up.

Aria: She's awake.

We went as I walked to the side of her as she looks at me with a smile.

Melina: Aria.

I bent down to take her hand.

Aria: Melina, who did this to you, I want confirmation so Sir Hong and Thunder God can let me go arrest them. Warrior killing warrior is a crime.

Melina: It was a five warriors as I learned my family has been doing shady deals with certain warriors but I didn't recognize them but one was a Spirit Master.

Aria: I see, get some rest, I'll be right outside if you need it.

Melina smiled at me as I smiled back to kiss her hand to walk out with Hong and Thunder God as we stood out in the hallway.

Aria: As long as she's fine then I'm good but you said there's been news Hong?

Hong: Yes, the monster emperor will possibly emerge.

Thunder God: Really? I guess with Aria defeating one then the power balance is off but if we get rid of this one then the scales tip more in our favor.

Hong: Yes, we leave immediately.

Aria: Hong, Thunder God, there's something I have to tell you.

They both looked at me and waited.

Aria: When I was in the Ruin of Ancient Civilization I found out my origin.

Thunder God: Really?

Hong: What is it Aria?

Aria: Apparently my race were good at adapting to anything and so they held the genetic code of the most powerful races in the universe, that's why I'm cultivating so fast, I feel like I'm getting stronger than you two that actually work hard as it's in my blood but I'm the last of my race as mine died after I was born.

Hong put his hand on my shoulder as I look at him.

Hong: It's alright Aria, you work hard to where you are now, it's okay to surpass us.

I look to Thunder God as he put his hand on my other shoulder.

Thunder God: You need to know that when we saw the recording of Universe Level being destroying the planet we wanted to protect earth to get that strong, if you can reach that height quickly than Earth is more protected than ever, me and Hong will catch up.

I look at them both smiling as I smiled to at there understanding.
