Chapter 321 - The Celestials, The War of the Righteous!

The Celestials were beings of immense strength who quickly rose to power by relying on the mysterious Supreme Law of Fate. It was an extremely abstruse law that very few beings could master, and yet the Celestials held numerous techniques that could manipulate the Law of Fate as if it was their own two limbs.

Through the fearsome power given by their domination of the Law of Fate, they rapidly expanded their influence across multiple worlds in the Light Expanse, continuing to dominate many forces over the years until it all led to the culmination of a huge war more than one thousand years ago!

This long war was later known as The War of the Righteous, where two sides with their own strong beliefs clashed in large scale combat that colored the stars red and created thousands of dead planets. It occurred over decades as the death toll rose to the billions just for those involved in the war.

The Celestials that were close to fully expanding their power over the Light Expanse fully clashed against the newly allied forces in the Dark Expanse that called themselves the Alliance.

The Alliance saw the numerous atrocities that the Celestials continued to commit under the banner of Order and Balance as a few powerful figures chose not to stand on the sidelines and finally act, coming together and joining hands against this mysterious force. They banded together as they could already foresee that this force wanted to completely wrap everything in their palm of their hands, and they were destroying anything that stood in their way in order to achieve it!

The Vampyre Progenitor was among these powerful beings that chose to stand against the Celestials and participated in the War of the Righteous, her power matching even the most powerful Celestial Grandmasters as the battle came to a brief impasse with her intrusion.

Alas, it was too late.

The power that the Celestials wielded had grown too much, utterly dominating the battlefield with their unique uses of the Law of Fate as they besieged hidden locations of the Alliance with precision and seemed to always know the movements of their enemies even before they acted.

The Alliance was utterly and completely outclassed as the Celestials went on a crusade of Order and Balance, continuing until their forces completely dominated the entirety of the Light Expanse, pushing many opposing forces into the Dark Expanse as they retreated from their own homes.

The War of the Righteous raged on for tens of years, multiple figures eventually meeting their True Deaths as even the Vampyre Progenitor was among them! Some of her scattered forces of Vampyres surrendered to the Celestials, choosing to occupy a small land in the Underworld as they recuperated from their defeat and losing their Progenitor while living under the rule of the ones that contributed to her death. The other scattered Vampyre Clans ended up running into the Dark Expanse as they rebuilt their homes and licked their wounds. Other powerful beings at the level of the Vampyre Progenitor were taken prisoners or killed as the conquest of the Celestials continued to rage on.

After the Celestials had taken over much of the forces in the Light Expanse, they stabilized their power as they now turned their attention towards the Dark Expanse with hungry eyes!

But this action...would be the one that finally stopped the Celestials on their tracks.

They raised a huge force as they prepared to finish off the forces of the Alliance for good and spread their power across the Dark Expanse as well, but it was at this moment that a horrendous power coming from a region they had not even eyed yet came forward!

From the Letalis Expanse, a terrible being that was only later termed as a Terror, a being at the pinnacle of the Ancient Races that dwelled in the Letalis Expanse came forward and called for an end to the unbelievably destructive war.

The Alliance that was weary with a tremendous number of losses agreed to stand down, but the Celestial Grandmasters that held full belief of their power under the Law of Fate moved forward with their aims, proposing to crush any that would choose to stand on their path.

It was this action...that went on to cause the first colossal losses for the Celestials, and eventually brought an end to the long War of the Righteous.

The moment they chose to continue on this path, aside from the Terror, horrible creatures that would later become known as the Infernals appeared en masse from Realms of Hell that were never before seen as they rained down destruction!

The being from the Letalis Expanse that they ignored the words of- this single being was enraged at the continuation of the unneeded war and acted against the huge army of the Celestials with the terrible creatures known as Infernals, utterly decimating the forces of the Celestials. This Ancient Being held power never before seen as just the size of its body made those that were near look like ants, carrying out attacks that decimated all that stood against it.

Shock!

Awe!

Fear!

This single battle was the reason that this colossal being was given the name of a Terror, as what they brought to the battlefield was nothing but that! This was also the first time many beings came to know the power of the creatures known as the Infernals, especially the cruel Infernal Lords that absorbed the bodies of the defeated to strengthen themselves even more.

The Celestials faced losses they could have never foreseen in this battle as numerous Grandmasters fell along with hundreds of their powerful Interstellar Warsh.i.p.s.

The Infernals faced their own casualties as they receded into the hellish doorways they came from, while the Celestials looked forth as the Terror from the Letalis Expanse left their decimated forces with but a single message.

[Do not overstep your boundaries.]

The message applied to the Celestials that now held control over the Light Expanse, as well as the Allied forces that looked on in shock from the Dark Expanse!

This single being of the Ancient Race from the Letalis Expanse and the forces of the Infernals had brought an end to the War of the Righteous as the forces of Celestials pulled back and recuperated their losses.

Noah raised his head as the curvaceous Elena stopped briefly as she told the story, his mind going to the words of the Celestial Grandmaster who had called the Ancient Races cowards that only slumbered towards their destruction.

He did not understand the reason for that tone then, but he understood now!

A single being had decimated the forces of the Celestial until they could not advance any further!

'Ancient Races and a Terror, huh?'

He wondered about the [Ancient Being] title that he now held as the Vampyre Progenitor as Elena continued on.

"The Celestials pulled back and consolidated their forces, but they did not stop pushing their aims these last one thousand years. They have continued to grow even stronger as their mastery over the Law of Fate increased. The Ancient Races in the Letalis Expanse have gone silent, while only the Infernals continue to hinder the movements of the Celestials. Constant skirmishes and battles have been held over these last one thousand years in the locations where gates of Hell reside as well as the border between the Light Expanse and Dark Expanse."

In the past one thousand years, the power of the Celestials had just continued to grow as wars at a much smaller scale continued to occur, the tide of victory once again beginning to shift to the side of the Celestials as they developed more fearsome strength with the advancements they continued to make with the Supreme Law of Fate.

Many thoughts were passing through Noah's mind as he heard this story, his thoughts also going to the Infernals that had appeared alongside the Terror from the Letalis Expanse.

There were still clouds of mysteries about the Celestials, Infernals, and these beings from the Ancient Races that he had to slowly figure out as he continued to advance in power...and eventually become able to stand side by side with them in the future.

A smile appeared on Noah's face that wasn't the usual calm and enthusiastic smile for the future. The enraptured Elena that was observing the Vampyre Progenitor all this time saw a cold smile that seemed to be hungry for power, a smile of a being filled with confidence even after hearing about the ridiculous levels of strength that his enemies and those around them held!
