Ascension of the Nephilim

It was a simple act of meditation. But little did Aron knew, that his meditation in the Force Energy within his body and as he tried to awaken it, created a faint tremor that rippled all throughout the dimensions.

When Kyros acquired the Wielder of Sword Job, it created a new path. A new god or a fallen with a new code had appeared. And while what Aron finally achieved was less impressive, the effects were more potent. This was because a long lost Path that no one has threaded on has returned.

The workings of Fate and Destiny ravaged across the heavens. The upheaval made all who were Gods and Fallen react in shock.

The remaining Greater Gods who aided the Ancient Gods had felt it as well.

The Greater God that sought to kill the Ancient Gods were horrified.

And all the Fallen became scared.

The Code that had slain countless fallens in that war had returned.

The ripple of power was different than when Kyros found a new Path. None within the Planesworld felt it. For this fluctuation was only unique to Gods and Fallen who have seen this power firsthand.

In a far off galaxy, Rhykestorn Ever stood up in shock. 

Several vortex and blackholes opened up as Greater Gods and Fallen returned to this place.

"He's back!"

"Hyperion Steel! The Ancient Sword God is back!"

"Calm down!" Rhykestorn Ever roared to silence everyone.

"The Ancient Sword God is dead. Have you all forgotten this? This power we sensed only means that someone has managed to understand his Code! He is not back. This could even be to our benefit! If we manage to capture the god or fallen that has discovered this, we could acquire that lost Code!"

The Greater Gods and the Fallen was stunned.

"Could it be... Related to Calaminus?" One of the Fallen suggested.

"Impossible. Calaminus doe not wield any Code of the Sword. It would be impossible for him to have it!" One of the Greater Gods rejected this.

"That is correct. The only people possible are among the disciples of the Ancient Gods. Or it could be in those worlds were mortals can study and claim all Sword Paths. This poses a change in our plans. We cannot have the Ancient God's power return! Focus all our attention to raiding the Sword Realms under Greater God Chereb. Whoever found the Ancient God's code must have found it through the minor blessings that we don't have."

"You believe a mortal awakened this Code?"

"It is harder for Gods and even Saints to find a new Code for themselves. It's definitely a mortal." Rhykestorn explained.

"Rhykestorn is right." A voice was heard as a portal from the deepest parts of the Fallen Realm appeared

Everyone knelt down. The Greater Gods and the Fallen all knelt down.

"First Fallen Thanatos Kyriachos!" The crowd saluted.

"This war... will change if Hyperion Steel's Code resurfaces. If we acquire it, it will assure our victory. Our priority for Hyperion's disciple take precedence over that idiot Calaminus. Rhykstorn. Who have you assigned to seek the Continuum soul of Calaminus?"

"Greater God Sheolrah leads the search. She is also searching for Greater God Daradiel who has fled on the Garden Galaxy. Since Calaminus has acquired more curses of Fate, we decided to seal all possible support within that Galaxy. Searching for his soul would prove difficult considering his... eccentric being. We also don't know the extent of his powers. We could get easily tricked." Rhykestorn explained.

"The Garden Galaxy? That is quite a distance from the Greater God allies. How has Daradiel reached that far?"

"It was a desperate move. Daradiel is also dying. Sheolrah is simply searching for his code."

"I see. Then I leave this to you. I want the identity of whoever acquired Hyperion's Code to be found as soon as possible. We have to find it within a hundred years!"

"Yes, Lord Kyriachos!" The gods and fallen bowed.

Ryhkestorn stood up.

"You heard Lord Kyriachos. Let's get to work." Rhykestorn opened a portal. For the first time in a millennium, Rhykestorn would finally fight.

As the gods and fallen all made their moves to search and find who inherited the legacy of Hyperion, Kyros was standing right in the middle of various hungry tigers with a bewildered expression.

Aron Steele has awakened the Divinity of Steel.

"Bruh... What the fragment?!" Calaminus cursed out.

"Wow. Uncle sure is talented."

"Talented?! Talented? What the fragment is wrong with your family?! How can he awaken Hyperion's Code?"

"What's so surprising? Wasn't it already implied that Hyperion's descendants is the Steele Family? I mean, it's in the name! Steel, Steele? See?"

"It's not that simple! How many Greater Gods are the sons of Ancient Gods and yet only three Greater Gods has reached the same power of their parents! As for the First Fallen, their Codes were only passed on because their sons devoured it! And that uncle of yours just managed to awaken it so easily? How can he do that?"

"Maybe his INT stat is higher than yours."

"Mother fragments! Not everything is solved by Int stat!"

"Fate?"

"... Yeah... That's probably it..." Calaminus sighed as he realized the possibility of Fate arranging it.

"My real parents could also be involved as to how the Steele Family has all these advantages. Calaminus. This battle of Beginning and End may have very shocking possibilities. We've seen bits and pieces of this. And we will see more. Remember what Hyperion said. He implied that whatever End is, I could not even beat their weakest soldier. A family of those who walk in Hyperion Steel's Codes may seem the bare minimum for us to fight back."

"Right... Still... I wonder how your uncle did it?"

"It's definitely thanks to my father. He must have realized something about the nature of Codes and the blessings that mortals follow. With this, I can be more at ease. I do hope that my family will have their own means to combat destiny."

"Oh well. I guess we can learn more by asking your dad. Best get to it and kill those monsters. These tigers look hungry. Their quite tough too! I can't believe that such monsters hide here where there are a lot of orcs. You'd think these orcs would wipe out all monsters before taking residence here." Calaminus shook his head.

"These Tigers could be from the same inner parts of the mountain like it was in the Nephilim Sealing Mountain. They must have broken out when the Blood Calamity's seal weakened. Each of these tiger should equal to a mid-level Captain. And these tigers must have devoured a drop from the Blood Calamity." Kyros smiled.

Kyros gazed at the howling tigers. Despite their maddened and hungry state, the tigers hesitated to fight Kyros. It was as if they saw Kyros to be monstrous than themselves.

"She's trying to delay me." Kyros shook his head.

"I really should catch up to her and kill her. Her desperation shows that she is weak. "

"I wouldn't think that! You haven't noticed? Look!" Calaminus exclaimed.

"What? Look at what?"

"Look at the eye of that tiger!" Calaminus pointed out.

"I don't see anything! What do you see?"

"The thrill of the fight. Rising up to the challenge of your rival. And the last known survivor stalks her prey in the night, and she's watching us all with the eye.... wait for it... of the tiger."

"You're an idiot." Kyros cursed as he attacked the tigers.
