#although he doesnt really have the power to legitimize anyone's claim he just said for funsies

'Holy shit.'

Danny gaped at the billionaire, jaw dropped at the floor, smoke still in coming out of the weapon in his hands. The weapon that killed Pariah and therefore—

And therefore making him the new king by conquest.

Danny reviewed the whole thing in his head just to make sure he's not getting this wrong. Pariah and him fought. Crashed a rich guy's party. Said rich guy told Pariah off for trying to hurt his kid. Pariah taunted him. Dude challenged him not to hurt his guests (including Danny). It doesnt have to be worded like that but the intent is al the same there. He challenged Pariah and Pariah retaliating with a taunt could count as accepting it.

So going back,

"Holy shit."

Danny says it out loud this time, making the rich dude's kids' attention snap to him but he can't help it. Feeling a weird change in the air and within him (as a witness), he cant he blamed to the near delirious laugh that escaped his lips. The rich guy new king and his kids tensed up as he floated towards them, guided by a weird instinct to bow before the guy with a broad smile across his lips as he imagines the chaos this would bring.

"All hail the new king of the Infinite Realms! I, Phantom, has bore witness to the duel for the succession rights for the crown and therefore legitimizes your claim for the position. All hail!"

Halloween prompts year 2 day 18

Danny raced through the ghost zone in a panic, how had he missed this? Appearently vlad had released Pariah Dark from his coffin again and got smeared into a paste. The mad king had then went into another dimension, hoping to conquer it and gain more power and skeleton soldiers only to be met in battle by a group of powerful warriors calling themselves the Justice League. Vlad had somehow survived the initial butt kicking and tried to use ghost tech to finally take the king down.

Unfortunately for him, pariah saw him coming in the reflection of a lady warriors blade and killed him.

Somehow the fight dragged on halfway across the US until they got to New Jersey where some billionaire guy was hosting one of his kids 18th birthday bash at his mansion. Pariah appearently crashed threw the roof, a hero dropped the weapon they had taken from Vlad and, in an effort to save his family, Brucie Wayne took the weapon and warned Pariah not to come any closer to his kids.

Pariah mocked him and raised his weapon to a young man with a white streak in his hair they was spayed across the floor in a daze.

Next thing anyone knew the King was dead.

Bruce Wayne had killed the previous king in single combat.

Bruce Wayne was the new Ghost King

Bruce Wayne was sitting on the throne in Pariahs keep looking very unsettled.

Crud. Danny needs to keep this guy and his kids safe doesn't he?
