Speed Villian: Fugitive from the stars

The world trembled with anticipation.

From every corner of Earth and beyond, powers stirred—families, sects, syndicates, and elemental clans all moving in secret preparation.

The Land of Generations opened only once every 100 years. A realm where divine inheritance, ancient relics, and chaos energies converged. Every being who entered sought one thing—the Origin Orb, the ultimate treasure said to elevate an element's grade and rewrite one's destiny.

For thirty thousand years, generation after generation had entered that land, leaving behind fragments of maps, torn journals, and blood-etched runes. None had ever reached the core. But this year, every faction believed it would be their era.

The Pyrelight Clan – Lords of Flame

In the molten city of Vulkas, the air shimmered as lava rivers flowed through crystal channels. Inside a vast hall, ten young elites knelt before the Flame Patriarch, a man whose beard burned with golden fire.

"You are our future," his voice thundered. "Your flames must not flicker before the storm."

Behind him, attendants carried trays filled with glowing Scarlet Ignis Pills—each one pulsing like a miniature sun.

"These pills will ignite your elemental cores and push you into perfect synchronization with your inner flame. But remember," his gaze hardened, "power without will is combustion. Do not burn yourselves out before reaching the Origin Orb."

The elites bowed deeply, swallowing the pills without hesitation. Flames danced around their bodies, fusing into runic markings across their skin. The hall erupted with roaring power.

The Tideborne Family – Rulers of Water

Far beneath the surface of the Arctic seas, in the shimmering Aqua Dome, the Tideborne matriarch hovered above a glowing sphere of liquid energy. Her disciples—each surrounded by spiraling waves—waited silently.

From her hands, she released a Tidal Projection Talisman, carved from ancient coral and bound by blood.

"This talisman will allow you to summon the image of your forefather, the Oceanic Divine. For three breaths, you will wield his might. Use it only when death is certain… or victory is within reach."

A ripple of blue light washed over them as the matriarch continued, "Our family's element is boundless, but only the one who masters stillness within motion will endure the chaos of generations. Go—bring back the sea's pride."

The Volt Syndicate – Gang of Thunder

Within an abandoned skyscraper flickering with neon lights, the Volt Syndicate prepared. Dozens of cyber-augmented cultivators with electric tattoos lined up as their boss, a scar-eyed man named Redd Volt, raised a black-metal briefcase.

Click.

Inside were capsules glowing with violet arcs.

"Listen up, you static junkies," Redd growled, grinning. "These are Thunder Core Enhancers. They'll fry you from the inside, but if you survive, your lightning will pierce even a divine barrier. Use them when the hunt begins."

One gangster whistled. "And the map, boss?"

Redd slammed a holographic plate onto the table—a patchwork of glowing fragments, jagged lines, and dead zones. "This is all thirty thousand years' worth of pain. Each batch left their trace. Stitch 'em right, maybe you'll see the gate to the Origin Orb. Or maybe you'll die guessing. Either way, we make history."

Laughter and sparks filled the air.

The Windspire Alliance – Nomads of Air

In the endless skies above the Himalayas, floating islands drifted like clouds. There, the Windspire elders stood before a group of cloaked youths. Their leader, a serene woman with silver hair, released hundreds of crystal feathers.

"Each feather carries the Echo of Gale, a blessing from the ancient wind god," she said softly. "When crushed, it will propel you beyond the limits of your speed for ten seconds. Ten seconds to decide life or death."

The disciples bowed, clutching the feathers to their hearts. The woman's eyes turned toward the horizon, where faint auroras shimmered—the boundary of the Land of Generations. "May the winds carry you back alive."

The Shadowborn Sect – Masters of Darkness

In a city with no light, within an underground sanctum, the Shadowborn High Priest stood before six silent figures wrapped in darkness. Only their crimson eyes glowed.

"Thirty thousand years of maps, talismans, and corpses," the priest intoned. "All failed to claim the orb. We, the forgotten, shall succeed."

He unrolled a black scroll—the Incomplete Map of Descent—its surface made of shadow-silk, constantly shifting as if alive.

"Each step you take inside will demand blood. Feed it, and it will reveal more paths. Fail, and it will devour you."

The six nodded without emotion.

"Remember," the priest whispered, "the Origin Orb is said to contain the essence of Genesis Flame. It can upgrade even darkness into creation itself."

The shadows vanished.

The Mech Alchemists – Forgers of Metal and Mind

Inside a colossal mechanical dome in Neo-Tokyo, the Mech Alchemists prepared differently. They weren't pure cultivators—they fused science with energy.

"Injectors ready?" a metallic voice echoed.

Rows of armored elites stood before energy vats, their bodies laced with element-conductive circuits. Instructors handed them Liquid Mayanium Boosters, refined from Compound-X residue.

"These boosters will temporarily stabilize your elemental cores and convert excess mayanium into pure power. Don't overdose—unless you want to explode before touching the orb."

The chamber shook as one of the test subjects roared, lightning-silver energy bursting from his spine. Cheers erupted—mad scientists and soldiers laughing like gods.

Everywhere—on land, sea, and sky—the same preparation unfolded.

From the smallest clan to the largest syndicate, from hidden sects to divine temples, everyone sought the same prize.

The Origin Orb.

A relic from before the universe fractured.

Said to be formed when the first seven elements—Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Light, Darkness, and Spirit—collided during the dawn of time.

Those who fused with it could ascend their element's grade, from the lowest Grade 7, the beginner's spark, to Grade 1, the domain of divinity.

Grade 7

Grade 6

Grade 5

Grade 4

Grade 3

Grade 2

Grade 1

Each grade signifies the innate power an elemental can wield. E.g, a master realm elemental with grade 1 fire element will surely defeat a master realm elemental with grade 7 fire element.

Each grade was ten times stronger than the last.

And an Origin Orb could skip grades entirely.

The world's energy stirred like a storm before dawn.

Across continents, portals shimmered open—fractures of reality marking the entrance to the Land of Generations. The air buzzed with chaos and destiny.

Somewhere high above the clouds, hidden from sight, a lone figure in a dark coat stood on a broken satellite, looking down upon the gathering. His eyes gleamed gold and violet.

"Seems everyone's getting ready," Kael-X murmured, smirking. "Good. Let them prepare. The faster they move…"

He clenched his fist, a pulse of Speedforce energy shaking the air around him.

"…the faster I crush their dreams."

Beside him, Augustus's voice echoed through his mind.

[Target synchronization complete. Scanning all factions… 1,203 elite cultivators, 312 masters, divine projections detected.]

Kael grinned. "Divine projections, huh? Guess this will be fun."

[Kael-X… shall we begin the descent?]

The stars flickered.

His voidstream aura coiled around him like a living storm.

"We shall."

And as the first light of the three suns touched the horizon, the gateways to the Land of Generations burst open—blinding, divine, and terrifying.

The era of crazy momentum had begun.

---

A dark place, utterly devoid of light, where silence reigned supreme. In that void, a pair of rainbow coloured eyes gradually flickered open, their gleam piercing the darkness.

"Heh," a voice, brimming with arrogance and disdain, reverberated through the emptiness. "It stirs once more… how delightful." The tone carried a mocking edge, as if the being were looking down on all those below it. "Those youngsters, always so eager, sending their own youngsters to chase after what they do not comprehend. Hahahaha!" The l

augh was full of ancient pride and superiority.

In that moment, the being's presence loomed large, a silent, powerful force that dwarfed all lesser beings.
