At the center of the vast black water of the elemental realm, a faint magical array can be found while slowly spinning like a black water's lily. Hovering above this magical array are the remaining Lords of the Elemental realm. 

Their eyes are locked at the faintly-glowing magical array as if looking at a precious gold.

"We have been waiting for it to come out for quite a long time now while the Elemental G.o.d has died a few days ago. Do you think we already missed it?" an impatient voice of Gahi, the dwarf Lord of the earth elemental realm, suddenly spoke.

"Calm down. It should come out soon. The holy providence takes time to form and grow. For a new Lord of a certain elemental realm, it only takes a day or two for the holy providence to come out; however, in case of an Elemental G.o.d." Huyop, the present Lord of the wind elemental realm replied. His glowing yellow wings flapped behind with utmost elegance. 

Ping is at its usual calm state, little sparks continued to emit in the little wisp's surroundings. On the other hand, Sulog, the current water realm representative who actually came from the human realm, is standing silently inside the array. His deep blue eyes in constant observation of his surroundings.

"We have no solid proof when it will come out since this is the first time that an Elemental G.o.d has been eliminated. The best we can do is to wait, or else end up regretting missing this chance to become an Elemental G.o.d." the Great Seer Mhata added with a calm gaze.

Right now, they are waiting for the appointment of the new Elemental G.o.d through the Holy Providence to be sent by heaven. 

WOOONG~ WOOONG~ WOOONG~

The sound of the spinning magical array gave a heavy humming sound. As time goes on, the brightness of the array continued to increase which only means that the Holy Providence will be coming out anytime soon.

Standing beside them are the current unofficial Lords of the other realms: Sulog of the Earth realm, and Ping who is a lightning elemental wisp who grew at the environment of Toray.

Standing outside the array is the two spiritualists, Kahayag who is currently in the form of a black snake and Kahilom who represented the Emperor. They are standing guard to verify the status of the next Elemental G.o.d.

"Tell me, who do you think will be the new Elemental G.o.d?" the curious question of the dwarf Earth Elemental Lord.

"I believe that the Holy Providence would choose the one who boosted the strongest power among us." calmly replied from the Phoenix.

"Why don't you use your ability to see the future and so the rest can go instead of waiting her for who knows eternity," said Huyop.

"As much as I wanted to use my power to peek on the future, I am afraid that it would take two more days for me to fully recover my energy and cast the Fire of Fate again." 

Hearing the reply, the dwarfen elemental Lord smiled confidently, "So that means, it will choose me"

"You think yourself as the strongest? Do you even have what it takes to stand against me?" Huyop quickly interjected, his face revealed that he does not agree with the dwarf's proclamation.

"I honestly think I do. You are just lucky you haven't tasted my real strength. With my defensive and offensive ability, do you think you will last a single minute against me? How? By slapping me with your girly wings?"

"You asked for it!"

SHAAAs.h.!.+~

Ugghk!~

Aggh!~

Before the two Elemental Lords could even start their brawl, a powerful spiritual shock swiftly a.s.saulted them from the sides and caused both of them to squirm of pain.

"You..."

"You dare..."

"Behave your selves or you will never get to see the coming of the Holy Providence." Kahilom, the one responsible of the sudden attack spoke. Her eyes that were hidden under the hood's shade glowed with a menacing light.

"Do you want me to trim down the numbers of the possible Elemental G.o.d candidate?"

Terrifying spiritual energy exploded from her that caused the two restless Lords to instantly behave like good little children.

"We will wait! We will wait!" 

"Yeah... Please spare us."

The two immediately bowed down and spoke with a fearful yet respectful tone. As they lowered their heads, contempt appeared as they thought of the moment they would receive the power of the Elemental G.o.d.

Yes, the main reason the Elemental Lords agreed to the plans of the Emperor of the Dark Realm is simply that they covet the power of the Elemental G.o.d.

However, considering the all-rounded power of the Elemental G.o.d, they knew that their chances of winning against the latter are close to impossible. Thus, when an offer of unity from the Emperor of the Dark Realm came, they swiftly agreed on the condition of eliminating the Elemental G.o.d along the way. 

They knew that sacrifices will be made in their people's side. But for them who greeds power, the lives of their people are merely a tool for achieving their ambition. After all, the moment they become the Elemental G.o.d, restoring the Elemental Realm back to its original state should not be difficult... or is it?

And while they were contemplating the possibility of restoring the Elemental realm, the glowing magical array they were standing on suddenly brightened.

"This..."

"Finally, it is coming!"

"Here comes the fruit of our sacrifice!"

Huyop, Gahi, and Mhata excitedly braced themselves. The brightness of the magical array continued to increase and a powerful presence of divine power can be felt in their surroundings. It was the sign of the Holy Providence that came from the heavenly realm to choose the next Elemental G.o.d.

"Come on. Come out! Give it to me! I am gonna show that b*tch spiritual who's the real boss here." a creepy smile came emerged from the dwarfen Lord.

"The moment I get that power, I am gonna pound that good for nothing dwarf and make him admit his mistakes. After that, I am gonna make that hooded woman into my slave. I don't care if she's the Emperor's a.s.sistant. I will wield the Elemental G.o.d's power better than the previous one!" the ambitious thoughts of Huyop.

ZOOONG! ZOONG! ZOONG!~

The magical array continued to grow brighter and brighter which swiftly revealed everyone's figure. The black sea under them was slowly brightened, revealing underneath the countless silhouette of the giant wriggling monsters of the Black Sea. 

FLAAAs.h.!.+~

And finally, the intense brightness has finally disappeared and compressed into tiny ball of golden light. The sheer presence of the glowing tiny ball made everyone feel restless and excited. 

Emitted from the tiny golden ball was a powerful divine presence. The power it wields were tempting enough for everyone to droll.

"The Holy Providence has finally come!" Flying above the magical array, Mhata's ruby eyes reflected the golden lights from the Holy Providence.

However, just as she was appreciated the beauty of the tiny ball of light, the rest of the Elemental Lords were not able to control themselves.

"It's mine!"

"No mine!" 

A dwarf and a blond-haired birdman, both were standing opposite from each other. Their eyes were glowing in greed as they watched the Holy Providence hovering in the middle. 

"Why is it not moving?! Does it not see me?!" asked the agitated dwarf elemental Lord.

"Are we going to wait another eternity for it to choose?!" Huyop added, his clawed arms and legs are twitching to grab the tiny golden ball of light.

"That's it! It is mine! No one will stop me!" 

"I dare you to move one step!"

SHOOOSH~

FWOOOOOs.h.!.+~

Then finally, the two Elemental Lords could not wait anymore. They had fallen to the temptation of greed and did not wait for the Holy Providence to choose. 

WIND WALL!!! 

Flap! Flap! Flap! Flap!

BOULDER SMAs.h.!.+

CRUGGGH~FWAAAs.h.!.+

The huyop flapped his wings rapidly while staying the same spot, his wings send over a powerful gush of wind that formed like a ma.s.sive wall aiming to push Gahi and the rest away from the golden ball of Holy Providence.

However, Gahi was quick to respond by leaping upward to avoid the ma.s.sive wind wall, his short hands raised and a ma.s.sive solid boulder was created above him before smas.h.i.+ng it down towards the birdman and creating a powerful impact that shook the peaceful black water.

CRAAAAAAAs.h.!.+

"You!"

"WHy include me!?"

"You dare to touch me!"

"Silence!"

"GRAAAAH!"

Bzzzzt! Bzzzt!

An unintended attack turned into a ripple of destruction. The Elemental Lords and the two spirituals are now on each other's neck in hopes of obtaining the Holy Providence.

Meanwhile, in a mysterious place full of warping darkness, a familiar voice suddenly echoed.

"Turtle wake up. It is your time."
