"Go to that place and tell the strongest person there that King Maharlika sent you, and ask him if your strength is enough." Andre commanded, pointing at the north of the oriental country.
"Sure thing, boss." Sun Wukong nodded before falling down to the place where Andre pointed at.
With that, Andre just watched what was going to happen when the ruler of Great Xia meets the Monkey King of The Heavens.
Ulaanbaatar Northern Fortress..
The Emperor still stood erect atop the walls when the entire fortress heard a whizzing sound from the sky. Yu Long looked at the falling thing with cautiousness and apprehension.
He had already unsheathed his sword, prepared to attack at any given moment. Seconds later, it happened.
Boom!
The falling thing landed violently, sending dust and debris up in the air. The shockwave was so strong that it even inflicted cracks and damages on the wall.
Inside the fortress, the entire battalion of Great Xia stood on full alert. The crossbowmen and gunners had their weapons aimed at the place where the thing landed.
"Kuahahaha!" Behind the dust, an arrogant laugh suddenly boomed across the battlefield, causing the dust to clear off.
What they saw was a hairy man with a long staff in his hand. His left arm was on his waist while his right hand held the staff that was standing erect from the ground.
"Who are you?" Emperor Yu Long questioned with a loud voice. "What?" Sun Wukong yelled back.
"I asked, who are you!" Yu Long repeated. "Well, who are you?!" Sun Wukong yelled back.
"You were the one who trespassed Great Xia's territory! Introduce yourself!" Emperor Yu Long retorted irritatedly.
"Oh, I haven't thought of that." Sun Wukong muttered to himself, "Then, I am the Great Monkey King of The Heavens, Sun Wukong! I am here on behalf of my Boss! Now, you!" Sun Wukong yelled back.
"Monkey King?!" Yu Long was, of course, startled that someone was addressing himself as a character from a legend. "What's your goal? Who is your Master?" He questioned.
"I asked you a question first!" Sun Wukong retorted, "Sigh! Humans are so stupid." He muttered with annoyance.
Yu Long was baffled by Wukong's presumptuousness. 'His nickname does suit him.' He thought.
"I am The Emperor of Great Xia, Yu Long!" Yu Long just introduced himself so that they can get over it, "Now, tell me your agenda!"
"Are you the strongest guy here?" Sun Wukong asked. Emperor Yu Long was confused as to why he was asking that but he responded, "Yes."
"Then, you are the person I need to talk to!" Sun Wukong laughed before jumping to the sky. The Emperor was startled when he jumped incredibly high, which still cannot be done by the superhumans.
They only heard a sharp whistling sound when.. Boom!
Sun Wukong landed straight beside the Emperor, crouched in a monkey position, before standing straight. Fortunately, Yu Long had an incredible strength, balance, and control that made him able to protect his nation against foreign attacks, enabling him to resist against the strong shockwaves that made countless cracks on the wall.
But even though he had the power to resist, Yu Long felt that if his power was just a tiny bit weaker than his current strength, he would've definitely been blown away.
Unfortunately for the soldiers on the wall and below, they were immediately sent flying, but they were saved by Sun Wukong using his staff that extended incredibly long to catch the falling ones. (A/N: I hope someone catches me too MWEHEHEHEHE)
"So, is my strength enough, my boss asked?" Sun Wukong grinned widely, placing his arm above the Emperor's shoulder as if they were long time friends.
"..is your master King ándras of The Philippines?" Emperor Yu Long asked with a firm voice.
"Who the hell is King án– oh ándras! Yeah, yeah, that's my boss!" Sun Wukong was at first puzzled who ándras was, considering that he hadn't had contact with the mortal world except from some gossip from other gods. But, remembering that ándras was ándras, he just laughed and nodded.
"T-Then, I will go." With the power of the guardian sent proven, Yu Long had no other choice but to go and attend the meeting between the leaders.
He then turned around to face his men, "Soldiers of Great Xia! This Sun Wukong, will be the temporary guardian of our great nation whilst I am gone! Cooperate with him in whatever he wants except for orders that would abuse our citizens!" He declared before jumping down the wall.
He then joined his middle finger and thumb and placed it in his mouth to whistle. As soon as he did that, a huge 19.6 hands (2.0 meters) muscular Ferghana horse galloped across the fort with an estimated speed of 60mph.
As soon as the horse stopped in front of the Emperor, Yu Long jumped and grasped the reins before turning to Sun Wukong saying, "Keep my country safe, Great Monkey King of The Heavens." He then squeezed the horse lightly with his legs before lightly patting the side of the horse.
With that signal, the horse neighed and galloped fast to the south.
Above, Andre was still, looking at the events below with indifference. Now that the matter was finished, he descended down to the depths of the world, but not that deep to reach the Underworld, together with Paimon.
He plunged himself deep into lava and reverted to his Demon Prince Form, strengthening his control of the power. Even though he is now the Great Demon Prince, his body still isn't appropriately as strong as a true Demon Prince.
He knows it because he can feel it. Even though his soul has already given his body the ability to become a Demon Prince, his body still had its limitations. Not being able to fully utilize his soul's power is, of course, incredibly straining to his body. If he does not fix that problem, sooner or later, his body will definitely collapse.
Paimon also suggested that he be exposed to high levels of heat to train his physique because that is what the demons usually do on their training. "Although the heat here is a lot less lower than Abyssal Magma, it can do." Andre heard Paimon mutter.
Paimon also noticed the fire inside Andre's body and had it removed and 'help' him to temper and train his body to the optimal level.
He also knows that he has no time because maybe after a day or two, the leaders would arrive at the counter and the talks would commence, so he would be using every time that he got available to strengthen himself.
As expected, three days later, Andre felt that the jade slip had been broken. He opened his eyes and vanished from his position. He then reappeared in Malaca?ang, opening the door to the King's Study. He was already wearing his royal attire; a white royal suit with golden embroidery and badges and medals, exactly the same as his attire in his appearance on the television. His looks have also turned to his sixty-year old look.
When he entered the room, Mimicry, as the current King, stood up and bowed to greet him, "Father."
The leaders also stood up and saluted in their own ways; Xia Emperor Yu Long bowing and cupping his hands, Japanese Emperor Junichiro doing a 45 degrees bow, King Yi Eun bowing the same way as the Japanese Emperor, while Raja Anirudh joining his palms together and bowing slightly.
Behind Anirudh, Chatura was also there, doing the same thing as his Raja.
In turn, Andre also bowed as a sign of respect before quickly rising up and sitting where Mimicry should've been sitting while the latter stood behind him. The other monarchs also sat when he sat.
"I apologize for making you all wait." Andre said to the five. "You don't need to be so humble, Elder ándras." Raja Anirudh waved his hand and laughed.
"So, what do you want to talk to us about your plan, Elder?" Emperor Junichiro went straight forward.
Before answering the Japanese Emperor's question, Andre turned to Emperor Yu Long and smiled, "Emperor, are you convinced of the power that my subordinate showed you?" He asked.
In response, Yu Long nodded stiffly. Remembering the shockwave that he felt, and the long staff, he couldn't help but shiver when imagining how powerful he would be once he fought.
Andre smiled when he saw him nod, "Then, I am going to tell you my plan." Andre stated with a serious voice. The leaders then leaned to hear it.
"I will end the war." Andre stated in a serious manner, but all it got as a response was an awkward silence.
Seconds later..
"HAHAHAHAHAHAH!" A loud ridiculing laugh came out from Raja Anirudh as he looked at Andre jeeringly. "Are you kidding, Former King?" He asked, his laughter dying down to a more serious expression.
