Chapter 258 Wave Of Grief

Chapter 258  Wave Of Grief

A wave of grief and a sting of pain could be felt by all the Celestials who were in their respective places at that moment. The Celestials who were enjoying the luxury in their domain immediately stopped and groaned. Likewise with all the Celestials who were in the Far East watching the strange creatures that came out of the black wall with a feeling of anxiety.

The wave was created when God Kane died. They didn't feel it simultaneously but there wasn't too long a gap between them. Some feel it a few moments earlier than others. But in the end, what they felt was something in common.

The death of a Celestial finally happened.

Most of them don't believe it. There was no way anyone could kill a Celestial apart from another Celestial. However, now the Celestials are preoccupied with what happened in the Far East, so they don't have the energy to inflame each other.

So, who killed the Celestial? No one can find out information about who died. They could only feel the grief and pain without knowing who had perished.

Agatha frowned her gaze at the surprising and strange sight below. She was still on top of the tall stone pillar in that place to see what happened and reported it to the Chief. But suddenly something strange happened.

The Celestials below had suddenly fallen from their positions of sovereignty due to something. Then they groaned in pain, some of them even cried. A very rare sight for those Celestials.

'What the fuck is happy now?!'

Their warriors and followers didn't seem affected by whatever the Celestials feeling so they continued to fight against the strange black creatures coming from within the walls. But some followers who were near them were confused and panicked.

'There is something affecting these Celestials simultaneously. Does it have something to do with the Nexus of Creation? Or is there something else entirely?'

Agatha felt compelled to immediately report this to her higher-ups. If there was something that could cause Celestials such pain, it must be something big.

Agatha is not allowed to open portals by herself. There must be someone from the World Masters who opens the portal first and visits her to request a report. But now Agatha didn't think about the forbidding because what happened here looked quite worrying.

A purple vortex appeared before Agatha, but before she went inside she heard screams from those strange black creatures. When Agatha turned around, all the creatures stopped attacking and screaming.

Their screams sounded like a choked throat, hoarse and rough, but somehow still loud. For Agatha, who heard them, they sounded quite disturbing.

But... there is one more thing that can be seen from these bizarre creatures; they look like... they're celebrating something.

The warriors who were fighting them immediately felt something was wrong. They didn't continue their attack when they saw their enemy stopping their attack. Instead, they stared with confused expressions.

'What is happening right now?'

Agatha decided to watch a little longer because there must be something else going on and she had to see everything before reporting anything.

"Who is it...?"

Agatha heard one of the Celestials speak. His tone sounded filled with fear and shock. "Who killed one of us?"

Agatha's eyes immediately widened when she heard what the Celestial with that enormous body said. The Celestial's red hair seemed to flutter. His eyes moved wildly as if searching for the figure he questioned.

'W-What...' Agatha couldn't believe what she just heard. 'A Celestial has been killed?'

When Agatha looked down there again, it turned out that not a single Celestial had replied to his words earlier and said that he was wrong. That meant… a Celestial had indeed been killed.

"B-But h-how..."

Agatha, who was too shocked by the news, froze in her place while the portal was still open. She was no longer thinking about the portal.

But a few moments later Agatha shook her head to drive away those thoughts for now.

'I have to quickly report this!'

She jumped into the still-open portal and disappeared from that place.

Meanwhile, among Archangel Michael's followers, Anahita looks the calmest. When even the Archangel Michael who was usually never surprised by anything now had that expression. His eyes and mouth were slightly open and his gaze was unfocused.

Anahita watches him from the side. But unlike the other, in his mind right now there is something else.

'No, it's not possible...'

Anahita only thought of one thing. It was Clyde.

He and his party members should be on a mission to find the path to the Nexus of Creation by now. A path that non-Celestials can enter. They were indeed carrying out a dangerous mission that had the possibility of them being discovered by followers of Celestial when intruding into their domain.

Did Clyde and his party kill that Celestial?

'No. Clyde is indeed quite strong, but to kill a Celestial...'

However, no matter how hard Anahita tried to reject the idea, what was in front of her eyes said otherwise.

'Maybe it's something else.'

Anahita decided not to believe what she just thought because it was hard to believe. Until she actually gets solid evidence about Clyde's involvement in this event.

Archangel Michael seems to have recovered from his shock; he gritted his teeth and his eyes burned with silvery fire.

"How is that possible..." Archangel Michael said in a low voice. Then he looked up, staring at the black monster army that looked as if they were celebrating something.

Archangel Michael clenched his molars even tighter and the silvery fire in his eyes grew even more intense. He, who had only watched while the other Celestial warriors slaughtered all those black creatures, now decided that he couldn't stay still.

He drew his sword from its scabbard. Once again, the sound of the sword being drawn filled the ears of all around the Archangel.

Anahita saw the blade of the sword flash with a white light that was brighter than before when Archangel Michael took it out. As if responding to the anger that was now burning in the Archangel's heart.

Archangel Michael started to step forward. All of his followers including Anahita could feel a threatening and bloodlust aura from him as if Archangel Michael knew that what killed one of them was those black creatures. Or, actually, he just wanted to vent his anger.

"HYAAAAARRRGHH!!!"

A loud voice rang out from another corner of the desert. Anahita turned and found one of the Celestials with a fat build covered in lightning screaming. God Thor started to move from where he always sat while lifting his hammer.

Not only he, but the other Celestials in this place also started to move into action. They seem driven by the same thing. Anahita and their other followers don't know what happened or what their masters felt.

Why did they move together to attack? Did they know anything about those black creatures, or maybe they just wanted to vent their anger by slaughtering them?

Whatever the reason, the followers see no chance to stop their masters. There were very rare times when their masters were fighting the same enemy instead of each other.

Anahita bit her lips silently. Busy with her own thoughts while staring at the sight of carnage ahead. A display of the power of the Celestials attacking together. The warriors who had been fighting earlier knew that they had to retreat if they did not want to be affected by the destruction and suffer the same fate as those strange black creatures.

Seeing that, Anahita felt fear grow in her heart. What if it turns out that Clyde was the one who killed the Celestial? She only remembered giving an order for them to infiltrate the Goddess Pele's domain. If the Celestial that died was her, then it is almost certain that Clyde and his party killed her.

'What if it's true? Clyde will be the target of all these Celestials.'

Imagining it sends a chill down her spine. She couldn't bear to think about that.

"What is going on?" Dwayne's voice woke Anahita from her reverie. When she turned Anahita found Dwayne staring ahead with a frown, seemingly trying to think about what was really going on. He didn't direct the question to anyone but himself.

Anahita also saw the other members of her party enter the same daydream. This was a great opportunity for her because she was too nervous to say anything in response to their questions.

'I have to hurry back to the Fortress to confirm this. I hope what I think just now was wrong.'

Meanwhile, the Celestials continued to obliterate rank after rank of the strange black creature.

Another wave came out from within the black wall and replaced their destroyed friends but in the end, in the blink of an eye, the Celestials also destroyed another wave that came out.

The slaughter continued until finally, the figure clad in the black robe appeared.
