The First Emperor's surprised voice resounded in the wide hall as soon as Kahn revealed Rathnaar, the Peak Saint's core.
"How did you manage to get it?! I told Lezron to hide it away after my death even from my children!" exclaimed Rathnaar as a wave of heavy pressure landed on Kahn and Omega's bodies.
"I acquired it by luck. And I guess you can sense that the core is now tied to my soul. So basically I'm its master." spoke Kahn as he looked towards the tablet.
"Ha ha ha! Haha ha ha!
I… Rathnaar Whitlock, the one who hated the gods and killed many of their heroes with his own hands, has a God's chosen Hero as my successor.
How ironic." said Rathnaar as he laughed hysterically.
"That explains a lot. It is natural that the barrier recognized you as one of my kin if that were to be the case.
What is your name… my successor?" asked Rathnaar.
"Kahn Salvatore." he replied casually.
