Chapter 6
Unnecessary Delegates
Sango threw the gold paper letter sent to him by the Collective Gods Organization, and made sure it caught fire. He stood up to his full height and grabbed his palm wine gourd that was laying at the top of the shelf in his room
"I have better things to do than attend a crazy gathering of gods, they end up committing fornication and pouring their semen down to earth, creating new diseases" Sango said and heaved "I wish that was what really do happen though" he said as he walked about aimlessly, just then something struck his mind.
"Lemme see how Trillion is doing on earth" he muttered and frowned his face "How come he is living a peaceful life on earth after making go through hell?" Sango asked himself and spat to the ground.
"Its my turn to make him suffer, on behalf of the whole gods"

Trillion walked into the football pitch, dressed in his school away Jersey. He moved his arm around while he jogged towards his teammate. The football stand was already filled to the brim, it was an away match they had against a neighboring school.
"So this is the school that always put you on the tight spot and keeps dropping your ranks" Trillion asked a team mate.
"They are pretty good and aggressive" the team member replied.
Trillion smiles as he took his right wing strike position.
Land cheers took over the entire pitch, mostly from the home team, It seemed like everyone was expecting the outcome to be the same as always. Trillion looked at the crowd as they went wild with the bully they gave to his team and grit his teeth.
" I'll honorably keep you all shut"
THIRTY MINUTE / FIRST HALF
Trillion went after the opponent with the ball and as soon as his opponent was about making a skill on him, Trillion stole the ball, having his eye locked on the goal post, straight from his own half, he sent a power shot that moved the ball with massive speed and force
Trillion could sense the keeper intending to go for the save
" A minute silence for those hands, they'll shatter"
The keeper screamed out in pain as soon as his hands made contact with the ball and even at that it was not enough to stop it.
***

" You should have gone easy on them" Tommy said while she help Trillion pack his kits in the changing room.
"The first keeper, That was fault for wanting to go after that and others, just swollen bodies"
"17 to O, that's wild" a team member said"Are your legs made of steel?"
"Show off" another said
"You had all 17 goals to yourself alone"
Meanwhile in the Gods Realm.
Sango paced about, his mind was really troubled, he could feel his heart pounding.
" What have I dooooone.?"
"All the abnormals that I was meant to send to hell, I've mistakenly dropped them on earth, I intended to release just one to trouble Trillion and now all
"If I don't talk about it, no one will I know, hopefully Trillion can do something about them "
***

Everyone in the school bus went on a wild cheer, singing praises of Trillion while they returned back home.
Trillion percieved a strange smell and before he could react everyone in the bus began to shout and complain about the person that gave out the bad fart.
Trillion knew what the percieved was different but it was too late to react. The bus suddenly turned over and next, It exploded
Before the explosion, Trillion had dived toward Tommy and wrapped himself around her, acting as a shield.
After the bus had gone on series of explosion, Trillion emerged out of debris, carrying Tommy in his hands
"What just happened?" Tommy asked, visibly scared.
"They are all dead" Trillion replied, He percieved the smell again and his brain clicked
"Sango's abnormals" he muttered as he dropped Tommy to her feet.
" Sango did this" He said and instantly his body began to heat up. "Sango did this" he said and turned to Tommy who was weeping and refraining herself from screaming out.
" Let it go, feel the pain, there is no need to hold anything back" Trillion said lowly, walked over to Tommy and gave her a tight hug.

Chapter 7
Now the world is about to know me.
Three Weeks Later.
Funmi a lady who had just graduated from Journalism institution and was working as freelance for multip news outlet found herself in her usual spot at the restaurant she regularly visit to clear her head and treat herself to lukewarm tea and some doughs. She pulled out her laptop from her bag and placed on the table. She let out a loud heave as she saw the document that was displayed
"No one is willing to believe my story" She said and tap the track pad of the laptop.
"How is the the only one and his supposed girlfriend that came out alive, unscratched, no miracle happens like this "
" Funmi, would love one more of your favourite?" The attendant asked her.
" Yes, sure" She replied
The attendan unwillingly took a glance at Funmi's laptop and sighed before speaking
"I don't know if this is related but, three weeks ago. I witnessed something strange, it was too fast so I am not sure"
funmi's face brightened and instantly she got interested
" fill me in"
" from the sky, I saw things that looked like shooting stars, hundreds of them, I'm not sure why no media outlet is talking about it"
" Probably no one saw it"
"Like I said, I'm not sure what I saw" The attendant said and walked off to attend to someone else.
"There is only one way to find out" She said to herself.

Trillion lit the last candle of Seven hundred, he summoned out his axe used the sharp edge to slit his left palm and used the dripping blood to make a circle around him. Soon the blood drips formed a full link and turned white.
The air in the room got thinner and would shake vigorously at intervals
"Sango I summon you" Tri l lion said angrily
The blood turned white let out thunder bolts that struck Trillion hard, but it wasn't enough to move him
"I see, you won't answer my summon, and you locked me out of the god's realm" Trillion said and bit his lips "I'll just force my way through to you"
Trillion eyes turned green and his dragon like soul drifted out of his body.
Tommy got herself ready to go get groceries and some personal necessities. She had thought about Trillion be done with what he was doing, but the thought otherwise and moved out.
As soon as She got to the bus stop, the cab she ordered arrived.
"She is alone" a strange person seated in a van on the other side of the road said on his phone.
" Yes, noted" he replied the person on the other end, and ignited his van.

Trillion fought his way through the large numbers of ancestral guard that oversaw the illegal route to the god's realm.
"You are not enough to stop me" Trillion shouted as he made a huge energy blast out of his saul, sending the guards off. But the more he fought the stronger the guards got, constantly adjusting to the power of his hits and evolving
"It's of no use, I'm too weak" Trillion said after realising what is happening and without second thought he retreated
***

Tommy slowly opened her eyes as soon as the black cloth on her head was pulled
off.
" Where am I?" Tommy asked boldly.
"You will help my career and uncover the truth about your boyfriend, I have been sacked because they think I'm delusional" A feminine figure said. "Turn up the live feed, it's time to let the world know we have demons among us"
" You're going to far b***Ch" Tommy screamed " You don't value your life?"
" No price is greater than this" The lady replied and revealed her face.

Chapter 8
Now the World Knows me.
The whole was had on its edge. The live broadcast Funmi the overzealous journalist had put across the whole country got mix reactions among the citizens. While some thought her to be mad, other beloved in her and couldn't wait for the truth to be revealed.
"Dont you have a ping on her location?" Detective Lucious shouted at the top of his voice while in the Police Tech Department.
"Sir, you are aware of the situation, we dont have the resources for that, we are just hoping what we are doing goes through" a man replied
"And for the fact that the location keeps changing at intervals, we cant pin point" another replied.
Detective Lucious got angry at the replied and stormed out of the room grumbling.
"Everything on this part of the country is poor, light is poor, living is tough, crime rate is high, nothing works" he said and went through the main door of the station.
Trillion returned back to his body and fell hard to the ground, already drained and exhausted. He managed to pull himself up and walked out of the room, moved to the kitchen and helped himself to a glass of water.
As soon as he got relieved he noticed he could not sense Tommy's presence, he cared less, she was old enough to handle herself and before him, she had been loving g quite the harsh life.
A notification came on his phone, he retrieved it and read the news headline on it. He smiled as he walked out of the house, on getting outside, he had a grin on his face and almost with the speed of light, he shot into the sky, leaving cracks on the ground where he had took off from.
***
***
Funmi placed around, excited and at the same time frightened, she knows she was not leaving here unscathed, but it was worth it, she had to prove that demons roamed the face of earth among them. She had to get her journalism dignity back and make people respect her.
The rooftop of the building where Tommy was held captive suddenly crashed open, and next was Trillion standing among the debris he had made while crashing in from the rooftop.
"I told youuuuuuuu all" Funmi shouted at the top of her voice and faced on of the cameras "demons walk among us and I just uncovered that"
Everyone who watched the broadcast was sent into mild shock on seeing how Trillion had crashed in easily and landed.
"Let her go, you have what you want, the world knows extra ordinary people walk among them" Trillion said trying to calm his anger.
"Nah, not so easy, I have questions to ask"
"You are against the law, kidnapping and holding hostages, you know you're going to prison for this" Trillion said
"Like I care" Funmi said.
Trillion tried controlling his anger, he was trying not to burst out, any little action could trigger him and make him make a huge mess. While he was still trying to keep himself calm, a bullet suddenly smashed his head.
Trillion suddenly fell to the ground, which generated a loud reaction for the audience who watched the live broadcast.
"I never told you to shoot!" Funmi shouted out loud.
"It doesnt matter, at least there is one demon less roaming this earth" the person that pulled the trigger said.
"Only if you knew" Tommy said and closed her eyes.
"I was trying to be reasonable" Trillion said as he picked himself up.
"How are you...."
"I'll massacre you all" Trillion said and it was obvious he wasnt himself anymore.
***
***
HERO OR DEMON
Trillion was held in handcuffs as he was lead out front the prison cell he was in and was ushered to the reception
"Funny how you think handcuffs are efficient to keep him secure" a chubby man with full chins and his neck were almost vanishing completely into his main body said and chuckled.
"Who are you? To be clear, you cant force me to know or work for you" Trillion said "I am a god and I have my pride"
"You mean ex god?" The man said and groaned as he stood up, due to his heavy frame.
Without saying more words, Trllion vaished.

Chapter 8
Now the World Knows me.
The whole state was had on its edge. The live broadcast Funmi the overzealous journalist had put across the whole country got mix reactions among the citizens. While some thought her to be mad, other believed in her and couldn't wait for the truth to be revealed.
"Dont you have a ping on her location?" Detective Lucious shouted at the top of his voice while in the Police Tech Department.
"Sir, you are aware of the situation, we dont have the resources for that, we are just hoping what we are doing goes through" a man replied
"And for the fact that the location keeps changing at intervals, we cant pin point" another replied.
Detective Lucious got angry at the replies and stormed out of the room grumbling.
"Everything on this part of the country is poor, light is poor, living is tough, crime rate is high, nothing works" he said and went through the main door of the station.
Trillion returned back to his body and fell hard to the ground, already drained and exhausted. He managed to pull himself up and walked out of the room, moved to the kitchen and helped himself to a glass of water.
As soon as he got relieved he noticed he could not sense Tommy's presence, he cared less, she was old enough to handle herself and before him, she had been loving g quite the harsh life.
A notification came on his phone, he retrieved it and read the news headline on it.
Trillion sighed and shut his eyes tight, he wasn’t bothered if the world knew about his identity, but it could bring out different result, depending on how he handled the situation. But one thing was certain, more powerful people like him would begin to surface and he was sure, the lurking evil would only have a medium to come out of its hiding.
Detective Lucios brought out his phone as soon as he was in his car outside the police building and dialed a number. He waited patiently and as soon the person on the other end answered, he spoke.
“You have information, tell me what you know” he said.
“Who would have thought bad guy Lucios would call an underground crime lord for help, well, you have helped me once, I will return the favour” the person on the other end said.
Lucios listened carefully and hanged up the call.
He took a deep breath and ignited the engine of his car and immediately zoomed off.
Funmi pulled a chair towards her hostage and sat down right in front of her, looking stressed and worked out, all in her head and driven by her overzealousness. She pointed her pistol at Tommy and sighed before speaking.
“Well you see, it will be a honor to lay down my life so everyone knows that demons roam around us” she said and had a short smile on her face.
“Hmmm” Tommy replied and rolled her eyes. “So you just wish to make your parents cry”
“Hmm, parents. Well you see, you can’t lose what you don’t have” she said
A menacing aura took over the warehouse and instantly the environment turned cold. Immediately noticing this, Funmi stood up and turned towards the camera behind her.
“He is here” she said and cocked her gun.
Detective Lucious, got to the warehouse and as soon as he halted his car, he jumped out.
“Where do I start looking from?” he muttered to himself, noticing there were various ware houses in the vicinity.
***
***
“Let her go” Trillion’s voice echoed through the ware house, sending chills down Funmi’s spine.
Even at that, Funmi still stood her ground, she knew at this point there was no going back.
“Just one condition, show your face to the world or you will watch her die” she said and placed the barrel of the pistol, against Tommy’s head. “No matter how fast you are, I still have more than 60 percent chance to pull this trigger”
Everyone watching the broadcast all held tight to their breadth, every single person, unsure about the outcome, or what was going to happen in the next minute.
Trillion suddenly appeared behind Funmi grabbed her by the hand and without thinking about anything, he crushed her hand and the gun all together.
“You will live, but that hand will be useless” he said and watched as Funmi screamed out in pain.
The whole world seeing this, nobody could figure out how Trillion did it that he was next to her, with the blink of an eye. No one could explain it.
Trillion sighed and looked at one of the cameras in the ware house and spoke.
“Helllllooooooooo citizens of doom, I know after this, there are people with super powers who will want to show off and stuffs, the truth is I am less concerned, do your thing, you have the police to protect you, but let me sound this as a warning” he said and took a pause, then looked at Tommy who was still strapped to the chair. “Ohh, you strapped to the chair”
“Cunt, did you just notice?” Tommy barked at him
“Those are strong words, it hurts my soul” he muttered and like wax snapped the chains and broke them into pieces.
“Where was I, arrrgghh Yes, if anybody, comes after me or her, if any news house comes after me or if I find anyone trailing me, I will send you to hell, make una just let me be, now the world knows me” he said and grabbed Tommy and slowly began to levitate and suddenly swooshed off.
The door to the ware house suddenly crashed down.
“Hands down, everyone” Detective Lucious shouted, aimed his gun and took careful steps.



Just checked and noticed Chapter 8 was a thing already, well let's consider this as an alternate episode. And let's get back on track from the previous episode.

Hiiiiiiiii....
I've been away for a very long while. Let me run you run through what has been up since the past few months.
I have been diligently making my art skills and animation skills better, just to give everyone a much more enjoyable entertainment.

Also have been running crazy number of commissions that has literally kept me locked and not having enough time to develop my stories and comic.

But the bright side is, there is always time for what you love.

Yeah, there have been lots of ups and downs and sometimes I just want to watch everything fade away and just move into darkness where nothing matters.

But, errrr, here I am.

I am actually happy with the progress so far and to finally tell you that, this story is being finally adapted into a comic.

Why you should be hyped too.
1. You get to see those action scene in HD (if I say so)
2. You get to see more dynamics to the characters and have a better view at their characteristics.
3. They are added dialogues and more obvious character development.

I'll constantly update this as the comic proceeds and finally get to announce the release date.

Yup, that's all for now. grin grin

Episode 9
Strong Man Detective
Trllion got himself a bottle of water from the refrigerator and walked towards the kitchen shelf to rest his elbow on while he drank from the bottle. He tried recollecting what had happened earlier in the day, for some reasons he couldn't remember what happened all he could remember was seeing himself in police custody.
"That strange man" he muttered and gulped water from the bottle and sighed.
"He knows my status as an ex god" he thought and stood upright.
Trillion returned to the sitting room and switched on the television, and scoffed at the news headline that appeared.
"At any rate, that police man is bad news and there are strange things about him, if that busy body journalist didnt go beyound her boundaries, if she didnt poke into what doesnt concerns her. Just maybe, she'll would still be alive " Trillion said and stared at his hands.
"She is alive, barely"
The voice sent chills down Trillion's spine, in an instance his eyes flashed red and suddenly he crashed out into the open through the rooftop of his apartment, while he sent barrage of punches at his unknown opponent.
"Is that how you welcome a visitor,especially a family?"
"Policeman" Trillion muttered.
The both of them could be seen in midair, and soon enough they had gotten the attention of people living in the Estate.
"Family, what family?" Trillion asked.
The Policeman looked puzzled and placed his right hand on his face, giving himself a face slap.
"What have you been doing on the other end of the world?"
Trillion was beginning to get impatient
"Didnt you go through the education system, weren't you thought Gods that emerged within the same 3 decades are regarded as families and share a bond?" The policeman asked.
"And where the hell have you been not to realize, the whole system in that realm was abolished and since humans saw them as high figures they began to have pride and owning lands and kingdoms to themselves, everyone in my decade was murdered except for me" Trillion shouted.
"That happened?"
"Man, where the hell have you been for over a thousand year? Even the outcast who are stripped of their entire god title knows these basic details" Trillion said and but his lower lips.
"It doesnt matter" the policeman said "You have to end your god entitlement here and I'll be stripping you off your powers"
"Joker, I just met you not up to an hour and you're spitting trash, you dont even know basic details about the other realm and this is what you have to say?" Trillion said and flared up his eyes.
"Ohhh, that is some flashy God thingy" the policeman said and in an instant he was right in front of Trillion.
"You are no match for me" he said with a devious tone and grabbed Trillion by the face.
Re: Once Upon A Madman by Devilpen(m): 7:13pm On Apr 07, 2023
Episode 10
Trillion slammed his body hard against the policeman which sent him crashing hard to the ground, creating a massive impact that generated a sonic boom which brought nearby houses crashing to the ground.
"He hits like a murderer" the Policeman said and stood up.
He looked at Trillion and had a smile on the corner of his lips and flew towards him and sent a punch at him. Effortlessly, Trillion grabbed the incoming fist and banged his head against his opponent, not letting go of his hand. Trillion smirked and placed his free hand on the stomach of the Policeman and generated a massive shock wave that forcefully shot the policeman off into the distance.
The policeman crashed into an apartment and let out a loud painful scream, clinching tight to to his stomach. It was evident he had broken ribs from the impact.
Trillion landed standing above him and got ready to hit him with all he got, and suddenly the policeman forced his way off and disappeared into the distance.
"You definitely had no option"
***
***
Tommy handed Trillion a cup of warm tea and watched him closely as he drank, while her father was leaving on the wall patiently waiting for him to finish up.
"What's next?" He asked as soon as Trillion lowered the cup.
"I honestly dont know" Trillion replied "I dont know his motive, but all I know is he doesnt want me on earth, looks like I might be threat to something he is doing, and I really need answers" Trillion said and sighed.
"I'm certain it's very complicated" Tommy's father said and continued "Cant you find out from other gods, they should be aware as to what he is up to and what he had been doing"
"I have no way of communicating with them, either I like it or not, I'm practically on my own" Tommy said
"OR NOT" a voice sounded in his head.
Tommy froze for few seconds and looked at the faces of the people in the room.
"I think someone is willing to help, I will be back" he said and flew out of the window in the room.
