Ascension of the Nephilim

Chapter 558 Fall Of The Paling

?

In the far corners of the Universe, the Greater Gods that sided with the Ancient Gods watched as battle after battle exploded within the universe.

Be it the gods and fallen that served Rhykestorn Ever or those that sided with Bow Veiyos and the surviving Ancient Gods, chaos broke the order and forced the war between gods and fallen or the galaxies that were divided.

Next to the Ancient God Bow was another being. He was like a shining conflux of emerald and ruby light that whirled like a tornado. At the center of this was his being. He stood like a man and had numerous mouths and ears all over his body. He was the last and surviving son of a being that was beyond the Ancient Gods, the being known as Truth.

He was the most guarded of the Gods, for through him, the victory of their enemies could not reach its fruition. For the most part, they were unable to escape the Ancient God who knew.

He is Akuo Logos Soter, the Ancient God of Hearing and Speaking.

Through him, all that has tongues found knowledge. By him, all things can hear.

All that is truth and the utterance of things were to his knowledge. And while there were ways to prevent him from hearing, with all creation as his ears, it was very difficult for him not to know.

But now, the chaos of the worlds and the many battles was like a loud ringing sound that became noise to him.

The power that he was giving to Bow that allowed Bow to hear was failing.

"How can such chaos occur?"

"Something is happening in the realms beyond us. Those that had passed on are raging in their power... A grand battle is happening. The whispers and words of the gods and fallen that have long passed are speaking. The Heretics are moving. And at the center of it, all is the Planesworld."

"The Planesworld? That's where Daradiel is. Can you not hear his words?"

"My ears cannot reach them. A spell that devours and absorbs is there. Greater God Sheolrah keeps my ears unable to hear the events in the Planesworld clearly. I heard a war occur between Sheolrah, Impyernos, and Thessalah. But I cannot make out any of it..."

"What of you? Why has your power waned, Martys?" Bow turned to another.

It was a woman with many wings that grew out of her body. Each wing had eyes, but she had no eyes on her face.

Martys Solas shook her head and sighed.

"My eyes as a Witness to this Universe are being shrouded by another power. And this power does not belong to any of our current enemy. Something or someone is shrouding my eyes. I feel that I even forget what I see... There are powers that I never thought were present are returning. Bow. As you know, many things of the past have been removed from us. The truth of the Beings that Were and the Beings that Are are returning. A battle that makes our battle for survival against Rhykestorn and Thanatos Kyriachos look like a mere puny pawn is slowly unraveling itself. I have witnessed the changes in the world. Bow... the Death of the Time God and his revert could be the center of all these events. It is as Fate planned. This is what I have witnessed."

"She speaks of what I have also heard. An Era is Coming. The Era of Middle. And at the center of it, all is the Planesworld."

"The Planesworld again? Is that not where Daradiel is?"

"That could also be where Calaminus is. The powers of time surge mightily over there." Martys added.

"I have also heard faint whispers of Cracky Batcheeks, the name that the new host of Calaminus spoke of there. It seems that Fate and Destiny are leading a fight there. Bow, should we move there?"

"No. It's too dangerous. Here in the Celestial Heavens of Ouranous, we are well-guarded."

At that moment, a strange voice appeared as Akuo Logos heard great cries. His ears were focused on the Planesworld, but the harnessing of the Word of Power, whose powers are related to that of Akou Logos, exploded out. And it was all using the power of the Celestial Code!

"A massive amount of Word of Power that harnesses the Celestial Code! What's going on?" Akou was confused. It was impossible for the Code of Daradiel to be mastered by many in such a short span of time!

The Word of Power drew Akou Logos's ears closer, and he heard it clearly.

It was as if a hundred Cardinals and even a few Crowns were perishing, and the cries of the departed had reached heaven and drew Akou Logos's curiosity.

"Die! Die! Demerus! Your formation is quite grand! To think you could harness my power! The blessings of Astra are not wasted on you!" A loud and cheerful cry was heard as the power of the Celestial elements attacked the incoming forces.

"Be warned! The next meteors are far stronger! We would have to fight some more, and you may lose your men!" The voice called out.

"Servants of the Nephilim! You heard him! Let those who can Challenge Fate arise! I wish for all to live, but those who die will be absorbed in the pool of power! You have heard that the souls of the former allies of Kyros and Mezal, those that have long passed, are here! So fight with all your might! Give your lives to this cause! The power of a Greater God, Greater God Daradiel, is here to empower you!"

"Daradiel!?" Akou Logos suddenly called out.

Martys was connected with Akou Logos and managed to zero in and see the form of Daradiel.

He wore massive yellow golem armor and harnessed the power. Unholy energy surged around him. The powers that he wielded were not impressive, considering he was a Greater God. But for one that is dying, to have found such means was nothing short of a miracle.

Daradiel heard the faint call.

"Ancient Gods Akou Logos! Martys! Bow! Are you there? Can you hear me? The Nephilim is here! He has arisen, and his companions are here! I am with his allies! Those that are descendants of Astra! There are others here who wield power! You must head to Planesworld! The battle of the entire universe will be here! The Charmed Fallen is here! You have to help us! Sheolrah is greatly wounded! The Planesword has a shocking secret! It could be the avatar of Dentor! He attacked Sheolrah, Impyernos, and Thessalah! The Nephilim's allies plan to kill all of them, and with their previous feats, they have fought against Destiny, Pausontai, a forgotten fallen whose name we do not know!" Daradiel pleaded.

BOOM!

"Here they come! Demerus! Get ready to."

At once, the signal was cut off as another power began to devour the sounds and sight.

"Sheolrah! Her power of the Dark Star is devouring even sight and sound!" Martys shouted.

"Bow!"

"...I know. We have to go there. Our advantage is that the chaos that is causing gods and fallen to act foolishly is due to the Charmed Fallen! Now we know what's causing it, and this could give us the advantage to move without fearing attack. Then let's go! Remove the paling that blocks the path between dimensions. Greater God Pleoh!"

"Yes, Mother!"

"We set sail for the Planesworld! Gather all the Greater Gods! We prepare for war!"

As the universe fell into confusion, Rhykestorn Ever and many other Greater Gods were convening at a meeting to stop the oddity and actions of many gods and fallen.

Their lord, the First Fallen, Thanatos Kyriachos, was also present.

"The Charmed Fallen lives? That bitch is causing problems again!" Thanatos shouted. As someone who cannot love, even the sensations of lust escaped him.

"Both our allies and enemies are being drawn into that world, but a war is starting to erupt." A Fallen spoke.

"How many of the Ancient God's allies have we killed?" Thanatos asked.

"...That's the problem. Despite being lesser in number, those of the Ancient gods has yet to face any losses! Many of the hidden Heretics and the New Gods and Fallen have emerged. Those on our side that have been tainted by the lust of that woman are now in marital disputes with their wives!" A Greater God answered.

"Rhykestorn! Get your damned men to calm down! The barriers of the Divide are cracking and breaking! If it keeps up, many shields will break!"

"Lord Thanatos, the barriers will not break unless the Heaven's Barrier is opened or broken. The Divide will remain." Rhykestorn answered.

"LORD RHYKESTORN!" A Celestial appeared in the grand hall of the gods and fallen.

"I trust you have important news to deliver if you barge in here too."

"The Heavens have opened! The Great Ark of Pleoh is pulling the Heavens! It's moving!"

"WHAT?!" The Gods and the Fallen all exclaimed.

The barriers of the Divide began to fall one after the other. The known realms now had a road that would create chaos.

The Heretics saw the opened path, and many beings that were thrown at the far reaches and fringe regions of the universe were now moving.

Down in the Planesworld, the team of Kyros had reached the first kingdom that they planned to massacre.

"After this, we use a warp pad to head north. The strategy is to attack the kingdoms in random succession to confuse the Midlands on who we plan to attack. This will be the first. Nightwing, are you ready?" Lea asked.

"Yes." Nightwing answered.

The group charged into the kingdom that had very little defense.
