Villain With The Strongest System

Chapter 23: Birth Of A Champion

As the climber association members approached Rocky, they got to take a good look at his back with the sizzling tattoo being the first thing that they noticed.

It was a massive tattoo, one that every human could recognise even in their sleep, as it was the mark of their patron god, Gemini.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you seeing this too or am I hallucinating?" One climber association official asked the other, as everyone seemed to be questioning the authenticity of the scene before their eyes.

A black tattoo, covered Rocky's entire back from the tip of his shoulders to his hips, created in extreme detail with godly symmetry and precision.

A humanoid figure with two angel wings and a devil for a face was the main depiction, however, while the rest of the tattoo was pitch black, the blood that dripped from the devil's face was red as it seemed to fall down to the smaller feminine figure, seemingly bathing her in blood.

The legend of this woman was covered in mystery and nobody really knew who she was with certainty, however, popular stories referred to her as 'The Queen' and mythologically she was said to be the greatest servant of the Gemini brothers.

Apart from the red blood dripping from the devil's mouth, the only other part of the tattoo that was colored were the eyes of the devil, which had the dual colors of blood red and omniscient blue with the right eye being blood red and the left one being omniscient blue.

Overall, this tattoo was the mural that depicted the mark of the Gemini brothers that was found in every church, every religious pendant across Earth and was a symbol that every earthling could easily recognise.

However, while the symbol itself was special, its sudden appearance during talent testing on Rocky's back, was an even more shocking event.

For almost as long as the religion of Gemini existed, there existed a hymn that was a part of folklore.

[ In the shadowed hours, when peril unfolds,

A hero emerges, as prophecy told.

Marked by the divine, with might and grace,

Heavenly prowess in battle, none can face.

An epoch he'll carve, in the annals of time,

A throne overturned, in his climb.

With cunning that dances, like Shakuni's schemes,

And prowess that rivals, Ravan's dreams.

A warrior of legends, in stories untold,

With heart of a lion, and spirit bold.

In darkness, he'll shine, a guiding light,

A beacon of hope, in the fiercest fight.

A warrior of legends, in tales yet spun,

With courage that rivals the blazing sun.

Yet in his wake, shadows whisper and weave,

A hero or villain? In which will you believe? ]

It was a poem that was taught to every child when they were young as the priests in the church of Gemini always claimed that ONE day, there will be a warrior who would receive the blessings of the Gemini Gods and shall be marked by their symbol.

That the man who would be marked by the gods, would be the champion that they chose and his arrival would mark the advent of humanity's darkest hour, as in the years to follow great tragedies were bound to unfold.

Should the champion prevail, he would become the beacon of light that would usher humanity into a new era!

Should he fail, he would be the reason behind why Humanity would perish.

Some waited for decades to hopefully see the champion be born in their lifetime.

Some discarded it as just an ominous folklore.

However, now that the champion of Gemini had finally appeared for real, one thing that was sure was that his talent and arrival was going to send shockwaves throughout the universe.

Not just Earth, but every planet that worshiped Gemini would be desperate to meet the champion.

While, every individual that did not believe in the Gemini Gods, would try to hunt Rocky and gain favor of their patron gods for having killed the champion of Gemini.

" Hail Gemini....*sob*.... Hail my great lord and savior.....ALL HAIL GEMINI" The climber association official began to cry like a little baby as he banged his fists on the floor and acted like a fanatic.

For him, witnessing this event live was like watching the birth of a new god as there was no containing his euphoria.

Rocky's marking as the champion was irrefutable proof that the lord had not abandoned Earth. That he still favored earthlings and heard their prayers.

It was a day of great celebration for all earthlings, as what had just transpired was simply an event of historic proportions.

Today, The Gemini Gods had chosen their first champion!
