After King Arion's chilling proclamation of war, Captain Alaric Voss, reacting with the precision of a seasoned warrior, immediately clapped his hands together. A surge of cosmic energy enveloped him as he summoned the Aegis of the Cosmos, an impenetrable barrier forged from the very fabric of the universe. The shimmering blue cube trapped King Arion, Tenzin, Zephyros, and Morrigan within its indestructible walls, sealing them off from the others in the chamber.
Captain Alaric’s deep blue aura pulsed with raw power as he maintained the shield. "That’s enough!" Alaric shouted, his voice booming throughout the Omnistron chamber.
Tenzin’s eyes flared with impatience, and he clenched his fists, summoning the power of his Spirit Dragon Strike. The ground beneath him trembled as he unleashed a colossal wave of chi in the form of a dragon, its roaring energy tearing through the fabric of the shield like paper. The cosmic defenses shattered, the remnants of the Aegis dissolving into the air.
Freed from the barrier, Morrigan wasted no time. Her hand rose as she invoked Abyssal Command, summoning a horde of shadowy creatures from the Nether Realms. Twisted beings of pure darkness erupted into the chamber, their eyes glowing with malice as they screeched and charged toward the other leaders. The room darkened with their arrival, the air heavy with impending doom.
Simultaneously, Zephyros raised his arms to the sky, invoking Thunder King's Wrath. The air above them crackled with electricity as a planet-wide storm formed, thunder roaring like a monstrous beast. Bolts of lightning crashed into the ground, their force enough to obliterate entire cities.
As chaos erupted around them, King Arion laughed maniacally, his eyes glowing with malevolent intent. He relished the destruction his allies were unleashing, his power radiating menacingly.
But before the onslaught could overtake them, a powerful explosion of aura rippled through the room, tearing apart the Omnistron chamber. Queen Nia, Queen Lila, and King Kael released their combined energies, the sheer force of their auras neutralizing Zephyros’ and Morrigan’s attacks instantly. The room brightened as the storm and shadows were obliterated in an instant.
"You think we weren’t prepared for a fight?" Queen Nia shouted at King Arion, her voice filled with fury. "Even though we sought peace, we stand ready to protect our people!"
As she spoke, Captain Daichi and Captain Zarius Blacktide, moving with the precision of seasoned warriors, charged toward Morrigan. Their combined force struck her, sending her flying out of the chamber as they pursued her, leaving the others to focus on the greater threat.
Zephyros noticed Morrigan’s situation and attempted to rush to her aid, but Queen Lila intercepted him. She raised her hands, summoning the Light of Creation. A radiant beam of divine light shot forth, aimed directly at Zephyros, but before it could hit, Tenzin jumped in front of the attack. He assumed his Eternal Lotus Stance, reflecting the attack back with double the force.
Queen Lila, unfazed, quickly followed up with another attack, invoking Celestial Judgement. Divine beings descended from the heavens, their power radiating as they attacked Tenzin. At the same time, Queen Nia leaped into the air and summoned her Celestial Water Dragon, a massive entity formed from cosmic waters, its body glowing with divine light.
Before the Water Dragon could land its attack, King Arion stepped forward, his eyes gleaming with dark power. He unleashed the Worldbreaker’s Hand, an ability from his Forbidden Dominion Magic, and with a single motion, he split the entire planet of Spadaria in half. The shockwave from the attack disrupted the battlefield, sending Queen Nia’s dragon into a spiral.
Tenzin, still in his Eternal Lotus Stance, countered with Harmony of the Elements, using the disrupted elements of Spadaria to his advantage. He manipulated the wind, earth, fire, and water to regain control of the battlefield, his movements fluid and precise as he countered the attacks from both Nia and Lila.
Meanwhile, Morrigan reappeared beside Captain Alaric, using Nether Binding to trap him. Dark chains wrapped around Alaric, attempting to drain his energy, but Alaric raised his shield once again, invoking Aegis of the Cosmos to block the attack.
Captain Elowen and Elder Moros moved in to assist Alaric, but before they could react, Morrigan used Umbral Step to phase through the shadows, reappearing behind them. With swift precision, she ensnared them both in her Nether Binding, the chains squeezing tightly around them. Elowen’s healing magic was rendered useless, and before anyone could intervene, the two captains were consumed by the nether, disappearing from the battlefield.
Morrigan let out a menacing laugh as she leaped into the air, invoking Black Sun Eclipse. The sky darkened as the entire planet was plunged into an eclipse, draining the energy of everyone caught within it. Her shadow creatures grew stronger as the darkness intensified.
But before she could press her advantage, King Kael stepped forward. With a mighty swing of his sword, he summoned the Oblivion Dragon Beam, a cataclysmic force of shadow energy that shot forward, obliterating everything in its path. The beam struck Morrigan, sending her crashing into the ground, her eclipse shattered by the sheer power of Kael’s attack.
Enraged, King Arion unleashed Tyrant’s Edict, rewriting the very fabric of reality around them. The battlefield reset, and with a single motion, he regrouped his forces—Tenzin, Zephyros, and Morrigan—by his side. With one final, menacing laugh, he opened a portal and led them through it, disappearing from Spadaria entirely.
The battlefield fell into a stunned silence, the rulers left in the aftermath of the devastating battle. King Kael, Queen Nia, and Queen Lila stood in shock, the weight of what had just transpired settling over them. The air was thick with the remnants of the battle, but the threat was far from over.
The chapter ended there, with the rulers now left to reckon with the impending war, knowing that the Eclipse Sovereignty and King Arion’s ambitions posed a threat greater than anything they had ever faced.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9UV4tRd53
