•Nagare Hisui, the 5th King, the Green King•

What stands before me were two orbs that glowed with two auras. What lies in the middle of the two orbs, fascinated me and had strike my curiosity. I could clearly see something or someone in the orb. I wanted to touch it to see the reaction I would get but I was strapped to my chair and I barely had the energy to move. I needed to save my energy for my other plans that is soon to come.

I am clearly a dead toy right now with me being strapped to my movable chair. The last time I had ever move was my fight against the Gold King. That man was strong and I already had a hard time just to beat him despite our age difference. My energy wasted on the fight has left me unable to do anything. My body is dead now and what's keeping me alive is the power of me being a king.

A screen beside me was showing things through my medium and it was flying in the sky as the people below look like ants. I began to watch my clan causing trouble for the Blue and Silver Clan. The Silver Clan went into hiding after being bombed by one of my clansman. I could see an order was given out and some of my clan members are now beginning to trouble the Red Clan. I also saw the video that was uploaded about how Homra was dead. This would surely piss the Red Clan.

Izumo Kusanagi, the Red King's second, was on his phone when he saw the video. He seemed shocked and was running towards the direction of Homra. I guess that the plan to anger Homra was a success. The Blue and the Red Clan are heading to the same area, as they should be. I just wanted to have a look at the Blue Kings sword. The energy it takes to control the Slates is exhausting. I will wait for that rookie to exhaust himself so I can take the Slate by force. The foolish Blue King is an idiot to think that he could control the Slates.

The Gold King was also foolish and an idiot. He may have manage to keep humanity to advance but the birth of strains is proof that some of the Slate's power could not be contain. The Slate could never be control, not even the Silver can control such power that. I would have thought the Silver King would be taking over for the time being but knowing the Blue King, he would never let the Silver King take control over the Slate because from his perspective, the Silver King is a coward.

A ringing sound snapped me out of my thoughts and I realize I had an incoming call from one of my clansman. I answered.

"I see you're having fun," I said but with no amusement in my voice.

"Yeah, I know we're supposed to toy with the Blue King who has the Slates to the point of exhaustion and also to bully the Silver Clan so we can get their king to come out of hiding, right? So i thought, why not make things more exciting."

"You are surely a trouble-maker," I said, grinning. "So you have given out the orders?"

"Yup, already gave out the orders, Nagare." He said, hanging up after that as I continue to stare at the two giant orbs before me.

Sukuna Gojo. Despite his young age, he manage to surpass others who are clearly more older than him and achieve the top ranks. He claims to have only gain points and aimed for J-rank just to see the manipulator behind the game, JUNGLE. I seriously didn't think he thought of me that way. Instead, I made it clear to him and told him what my intentions were. Thankfully, he had agreed with me but somehow will quit the game if it turns out crappy. Children's minds are certainly interesting.

Looking back towards the two orbs, they haven't made any changes and I still came here wondering, hoping for it to react to the commotion we are causing. The Gold King sure did a wonderful job in keeping them here even though he has left the tower. I would have thought that if the Gold King is gone that they would break out but it seems that the king himself had enough energy to keep them under control. I wondered how the Gold King manage to let his Gold aura linger here.

I sighed.

Now that the Gold King is gone, the Blue King has taken it upon himself to control the Slates and maintain the Mihashira Tower for the Gold King. The Timeless Palace has not been taken over since the Blue King has no right to take over the Gold King's domain. It was really hard to come here now that the Blue King has taken control. My whole reason to come here was to see if they have awaken but clearly not.

Continuing to stare at the orbs, I wondered ways to get them to respond. I would want all the Kings to watch my achievement in advancing humanity and I did promise Iwa-san that I would bring them into this game. I don't get what's with his sudden interest in them so it ended with me getting curios too.

As the 5th King, the Green King, I, Nagare Hisui, will accomplish everything that had started years ago, starting with him.
