"But we acted too late... What can we four do? We will die before the King can even reach his true state."

"True state?", I asked curious.

"It was something Nikola mentioned while completing you. He said: 'We were never meant to perfect him we just have to bring him to live and he will bring us all to perfection.'"

"I see. But how did my fraction lose so miserably?"

It was a harsh but also the truth and since I have to save this kingdom, I don't have time to be nice, not that I planned on being nice anyways.

Synthrexia huh? Not a bad name. This means I'm the King of Synthraxia.

"Do I have a name?", I then added as no answer came.

"Yes. Our folk calls you: Series: 001. Abaddon, the First of all Kings."

Abaddon? I heard that name somewhere before...

"I see. Now then why was my fraction slaughter so easily? According to yourselves you were already pretty strong."

"Well yes... But We... We...--"

"We were Kingless!", The other woman screamed as she interrupted the other.

"Unlike us, Cybrexia managed to activate their king and achieve their own 'Perfection' and move perfectly as one fraction. Our fraction was completely relying on our king and was completely uncoordinated. Unlike the other fractions ours completely depends on a system called "Hive Mind" which activates our true power as Synthrexians. But this system could only be used by the King himself which made us unable to use our true powers and left us near powerless in front our enemies."

"So, this is my fault."

The woman immediately started to apologize as I said that and started to take back what she said but I stopped her right there."

"There is no reason to apologize. You all depended on me and I didn't wake up. You all weren't able to use your God-given abilities as Synthraxians because I wasn't there. This is entirely my fault and therefore entirely my duty to make up for it."

"But you are not to blame you couldn't--"

"I have no need for excuses. You needed me and I wasn't there. That is the truth. And now I will make up for that by taking revenge on those who slaughtered my race and make Synthrexia to the greatest nation of all time."

However....

I have no Idea how to do that. But I also have no intention to take it back. Which means I just have to give my best and beyond...

"Then how about I start this "Hive mind" first. Where is it.?"

"Please follow me."

The woman led me through the destroyed castle. Dead Synthrexians laid everywhere, killed without any mercy. I didn't know these people and yet I still felt immense guilt.

"We arrived your majesty."

The woman said as she kneeled.

"Tell me what are your names?"

"My name is Astarte. My two sisters are called Morrigan and Styx."

"I see. Are you coming with me?"

"No. Only the king is allowed to enter this room. It's your personal room which not only activates the hive mind but also works as your garage and bedroom. It the most fitting room for such a being as yourself."

"If you say so... Then go back and help your sisters with whatever they are doing."

"As you wish."

Astarte done as ordered and left me alone in front of my room.
