Chapter 1012: We Want To Find Our True King [Part 2]
The Fomorian Chieftains' expressions brightened when they saw the Stone of Destiny flying in their direction.
They had been waiting for this moment all their lives, and once a True King among them was identified, their race would finally have a leader who would guide their entire tribe to glory.
King Arawn and Godfrey, who had accompanied the Fomorian Chieftains in this endeavor, looked at them with faint smiles on their faces.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The Fomorians might be a very ruly, barbaric bunch, but the two still liked the way they remained true to their desires.
Right from the start, the Fomorians had been steadfast with their goal to acquire the Stone of Destiny in order to forge a new path for the Fomorians.
Although the process was vastly different from what they had imagined when they set forth from the lands of Midgard, the end result was still the same.
When the Stone of Destiny flew toward Caddor's direction, the handsome black-haired man couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.
'Hahaha! I knew it! I am the chosen one!' Caddor beamed as the Stone of Destiny drew closer to him.
However, instead of stopping above him, it flew past him...
Caddor blinked once then twice before the smile on his face stiffened.
He then glanced at the Stone, which momentarily stopped at Narissa's head, making the beautiful purple-haired lady smile as if she had won a beauty pageant.
However, the stone only stopped on her head for three seconds before moving towards the One-Eyed Giant, Jovar, making the young lady's smile stiffen as well.
When the Stone of Destiny hovered above his head, Jovar let out a laugh filled with confidence.
He was one of the direct descendants of Balor, the Progenitor of Fomorians. In his eyes, being chosen was already set in stone.
Even so, he still couldn't help but feel anxious, having seen the Stone of Destiny fly over Caddor then stop over Narissa's head.
However, when Lia Fail finally hovered in his own head, he wasn't able to stop himself from laughing out loud.
'Hahaha! This is fate at work,' Jovar mused as he looked at the two other Fomorian Chieftains as if they were already their subordinates. 'Now it's time to make sure you and the rest fall in line!'
But just as he was already convinced that he was the True King of the Fomorians, the Stone of Destiny flew away from his head and circled above the heads of the other Fomorians, making them feel hopeful.
Caddor and Narissa both chuckled upon seeing the shock on Jovar's face after the Lia Fail flew away from his head.
The Giant's jaw had dropped so wide that you could easily fit a car tire in it without problems. The Stone of Destiny hovered above the heads of the Fomorians one by one, as if some kind of Auntie looking for the best deals when shopping for designer-brand clothing.
This scene made everyone present, with the exception of Ethan, look at the Fomorians and the Stone of Destiny with an amused look on their faces.
No matter how they looked at it, it felt like the Stone of Destiny was playing a prank on them, which made the Fomorians not know if they should laugh or cry.
Finally, after a few minutes, Lia Fail flew away from the Fomorians and headed in a direction, which made everyone's eyes widened in shock.
The Stone of Destiny circled around Ethan's head before it hovered beside his right hand.
Seeing this scene, the Fomorian Chieftains immediately roared in anger before glaring hatefully at Chloe.
They thought that the Guardian of the Stone was trying to humiliate and play tricks at them, making them feel aggrieved.
"What's the meaning of this?!" Caddor asked, venting out his anger and frustration that he felt earlier to the young lady standing beside Ethan. "Is this your idea of a sick joke? Are you planning to tell me that Ethan is also the King of the Fomorians?!"
"We came here in good faith, so we expected to be treated the same," Narissa sneered. "Don't think that just because we had taken great care to not offend anyone when we came here, that means we are pushovers! If you want a fight, then so be it!"
Jovar roared and raised his club, ready to fight. He had almost told everyone to kneel in front of him earlier because he thought that the Stone of Destiny had chosen him to be the King of his race.
Fortunately, he didn't do that, so he was spared from embarrassment and humiliation.
Even so, the mere thought of what could have happened filled him with shame, so he was very keen to also vent his frustration on the young lady, who was hailed as the Guardian of Lia Fail. The Fomorians part of their entourage also raged because they also felt that they had been played with.
The Stone of Destiny had also hovered above their heads, making them almost shout in joy because they thought that they would become the King of their Race.
However, what they thought didn't happen, so they were also feeling the same anger that their Chieftains were feeling.
But just as they were about to charge in fury, the Stone of Destiny did something unexpected. The stone tapped the ring on Ethan's finger, as if it was knocking on the door of someone's
room.
The tapping sound was loud enough to reach everyone's ears, making the Fomorians, who were about to charge, stop in their tracks.
At first, the Stone of Destiny knocked three times, and waited.
Half a minute later, it knocked on the ring again because it didn't receive the response that it
was hoping to get.
Ethan looked at the stone, who was knocking on his ring, and frowned.
Just as he was wondering what was happening, an arrogant yet adorable voice spread in the surroundings.
"I have tried my best to act as lowkey as possible, but it seems that the time has come for everyone to see how awesome I am!"
The ring on Ethan's finger glowed faintly, and something jumped out of it, landing on top of the Stone of Destiny.
Immediately, the Stone started to sing and golden lights erupted from its body, bathing the egg that was perched snugly on top of it.
Sensing that everyone's attention was on it, the Golden Egg stood up straight and once again spoke in that same arrogant and adorable voice, making everyone look at it in surprise. "What are you all waiting for?!" the Golden Egg asked. "Kneel before your King!"
The Fomorians looked at the Golden Egg before exchanging glances with each other in
dismay.
They couldn't believe what they were seeing and thought that the Stone of Destiny was making fun of them.
Sebastian and Ethan's Other Half, who were watching this scene from inside the young man's Sea of Consciousness, both laughed out loud because they also found this turn of events truly
amusing.
"That little troublemaker is actually their True King?!' Sebastian laughed out loud. 'Hahaha! Doesn't that mean that Ethan is technically their new Chieftain as well?'
"Indeed,' Ethan's Other Half couldn't help but chuckle. 'To think that this little guy actually had this kind of destiny. Lady Fate is truly a fickle lady.'
While the two were enjoying the entertaining show in front of them, the Fomorians were all
shaken.
Jovar pondered for a bit before raising his Bone Club with the intention of smashing the egg,
putting an end to what he thought to be a farce by the Guardian of Lia Fail, who wasn't able to stop herself from giggling because she found the Golden Egg's domineering attitude quite
cute.
