Chapter 16: The trial of the Biuniverse

  ?

  [Scene 1: The decision of the three great leaders]

  The camera opens slowly, showing the majestic Heavenly Council. Juan was in the center of the great hall, with the three colossal figures watching him from their imposing thrones.

  Azharath, the main one, leaned slightly forward. His voice was firm, but with a kind tone.

  Azharath (with solemnity):

  "Juan... we've reached a decision."

  On his right, was the second leader, a man with a serene expression and a wise look. Sion, the Guardian of Balance.

  Sion (in a calm voice):

  "Your heroic acts, your courage and your power have placed you in a position that we cannot ignore.

  Finally, to the left, the third leader, Dorian, the Reckless, narrowed his eyes with disdain.

  Dorian (with coldness):

  "And that decision... is a mistake.

  Juan frowned.

  Juan (confused):

  "A mistake?"

  Azharath (raising his voice to regain control):

  "Juan, you have been chosen as the main candidate to become the King of the Biuniverse."

  The silence in the room was sepulchral.

  ?

  [Scene 2: Juan questions the decision]

  Juan stepped forward, with a trembling but firm voice.

  Juan (douting):

  "No... I can't accept that." I'm not worthy of something like that.

  Sion (tranquilizer):

  —The humility you show only reinforces why you are the best candidate.

  Dorian (interrupting abruptly):

  "No!" This is unacceptable.

  Juan's gaze hardened.

  Juan (annoyed):

  "Why do you say that?"

  Dorian stood up, pointing directly at Juan.

  Dorian (with fury):

  "Because your aura is monstrous."

  Juan was silent.

  Dorian (continuing):

  "Haven't you noticed?" Since you entered this room... your presence has been suffocating.

  John looked around and, to his surprise, the heavenly guardians near the thrones were pale and trembling. Some even leaned against the columns so as not to faint.

  John (for himself):

  "All this... is it me?"

  ?

  [Scene 3: The Mother's Revelation]

  Suddenly, the Mother appeared among them. His voice resounded with authority.

  The Mother (firm):

  "With all due respect, Dorian... show more respect for the man who stopped the fulmination of the Biuniverse.

  The living room was silent.

  Dorian (confused):

  "What are you talking about?"

  The Mother (smiling slightly):

  —Juan not only delayed the end of the Biuniverse... he joined the Mother Boards.

  The words echoed like thunder.

  Azharath (amazed):

  "Did he... do it?"

  Sion (in disbelief):

  "Impossible... no one has ever been able to do it."

  Dorian (shooking his head):

  "You lie... it's impossible for someone so young to achieve something like that!"

  Juan simply remained silent.

  Juan (seriously):

  "I'm not here to prove anything...

  ?

  [Scene 4: Dorian's challenge]

  Dorian (with a defiant tone):

  "This can't stay like this!"

  He looked at Azharath and Sion with determination.

  Dorian (firmly):

  —I invoke the Heavenly Martial Law.

  Azharath (in a low voice):

  "Do you want a confrontation...?"

  Dorian (nodding):

  "If we are going to put the future of the Biuniverse in your hands... let him try it in combat."

  Azharath sighed deeply.

  Azharath (with a firm voice):

  "So so be it... in two weeks the Destiny Debate will take place.

  Sion (explaining to Juan):

  —It is a combination of an ideological debate and a symbolic duel. The entire Biuniverse will witness the event, and they will decide who is worthy of governing.

  Juan (looking at everyone):

  "I'm not going to manipulate people... I'm not here to win votes.

  Juan (firmly):

  "I'm going to participate because... people need hope." If I can give it to him, win or lose doesn't matter to me.

  Azharath (smiling slightly):

  —Interesting...

  ?

  [Scene 5: The power of John]

  Juan turned around to retire. As I crossed the door, everyone in the room began to breathe with difficulty, as if they had just escaped from an unbearable pressure.

  Sion (sweating):

  —For the gods...

  Dorian (with serious expression):

  "That aura... he didn't even try to release it, it just... exists."

  Azharath (with deep tone):

  "Yes... that's why I fear what may happen the day Juan decides to unleash his true power.

  ?

  [Scene 6: Dorian and the mysterious warrior]

  The scene changes to a gloomy place, where Dorian is standing in front of a man with silver hair and a sharp look.

  Dorian (with a gloomy tone):

  "Welcome... Sael."

  Sael, dressed in an elegant black suit with golden details, sketched a confident smile.

  Sael (with arrogance):

  "Why did you call me?"

  Dorian (crossing his arms):

  "Because in two weeks... I need you to humiliate that boy in front of the entire Biuniverse.

  Sael smiled, arrogant.

  Sael (adjusting the collar of his suit):

  "Better call me... ruler."

  The camera freezes in a shocking image: Juan observing the constellations in the sky, while Sael smiles from the gloom, ready for the imminent confrontation.

  End of chapter.
