The voice of Impyernos and the power that appeared frightened everyone. Unlike the eras past, the gods and fallen were busy with their war, and Greater God Sheolrah was the recent god to have visited. Apart from her, there was no one else!
Even the Planesworld did not have such backing!
"Is this enough proof that we can send you to the Planesworld? Friends. I called you all and gathered you here to invite you in a joint expedition which our Eldrich race can provide!" Bolerax smiled.
Everyone was silent.
"And... you just want to give us the Half Fallen? Sounds too fishy."
"There are numerous Half Fallens in Planesworld. We can afford to lose one. Besides, your respective planets may not take it anyway."
The Celestial frowned.
"While the presence of Lord Impyernos is an honor, I expect a Celestial to talk to me. Is your father in attendance?"
"I wouldn't miss our chance to see each other again, Xulas." Then, a voice was heard, and the power of a Celestial appeared.
Thick energy filled the entire room of the gathering armies.
"Royal Father..." Bolerax bowed.
"Eldrich Ancestor. Tempest Hiwind. It's good to see you still alive."
"Greetings, Celestial. And to all of you. Greetings. I trust that you here are committed to attacking Planesworld. But... I have already passed the mantle of leading my race to my son. I'm sure many of you have faced his wrath and schemes."
"Ah, yes. If not for your wise decision to stop and not meddle with my bottom line, I would have dealt with you personally, follower of Kako." Xulas gave Bolerax an intense look.
"You would fail, Celestial Soul Lord." Bolerax did not show any weakness and laughed back at the Celestial.
"I am inclined to agree with my son. You picked the right path! Because you stopped, I had to find another Celestial and entice him to war to sharpen my son." Tempest laughed.
Xulas's expression darkened.
"Isn't that right... Celestial Tathar Malwasul?"
The space bent, and a dark elf with hairs of black mist appeared.
"I am here... as agreed upon. And with Lord Impyernos, I have no doubts in the plans." The Dark Elf spoke angrily.
Everyone was confused. The implication of Tempest's words was that this Celestial was defeated by Bolerax!
"What? You mean to tell me...?" Xulas was surprised.
"I wish it had been you. The cruel and wicked means of that boy will shock you. Why else would Tempest pass on the crown to his son if he did not have the means to fight back?" Tathar answered and spoke no more.
The expression of Xulas changed. He could not claim to defeat Tathar in combat. Tathar was known as the Spatial Emperor. He was illusive, and his powers to control space made him known as the Unwounded Celestial!
"Now that I have everyone's attention and respect... We are all here because we want two things. First is the Half Fallen legacy. It's so enticing that it brought you all here. But I am here to tell you that this was just the bait. It is true. We will tell you evidence of it. But the other reason why we plotted to lure you all and even made Lord Impyernos prove his existence is that we want to take the Planesworld." Bolerax spoke.
"Take the Planesworld?! Are you mad? Even if Lord Impyernos is alive, he would have to exhaust unbelievable energy to take out the Planesworld!" Xulas exclaimed.
"Yes. That's exactly our problem. Within this region, no other planet has the rich resources of the Planesworld. They have the Sol Star that lights the top producing the strongest of Celestials. Pyrekaiser Fafnir, whose Celestial might could move planets! Gandor Ellisium the one that can toy with other Celestial magic users! Then there is Solas Soter. Who among the dark can resist the light of Solas Soter? King Elistre Protos Endoxos could fight and kill all Celestials on your planets at once! Even my father wouldn't be so arrogant in front of that king. And then, we have those of our color who will not side with us. The Grendelors have sworn fealty to their land. They hate outsiders even more than their hate the Highlands! While we have secured certain deals, they would never side with us and might even betray us!"
Everyone was silent at the mention of the Grendelors. Despite being of the light, the numerous kingdoms had more clashes with the Netherlands rather than the Highlands. This was because, to Dark Dependents, the more you eat, the stronger you grow.
"Nether Detestable Alucan Fangsword, the Devourer of Darkness. How many of your families has he devoured? More so, their king. Necron Olethros! Those are hindrances that stop us from performing our goal."
"I thought we were here to discuss a plan to enter, take the Half Fallen and leave the Planesworld. Yet now you speak of all our greatest foes as if we are to war with them! We will not partake in invasion!" Celestial Tathar frowned.
"You will. Because Destiny has given us a chance! We can finally take this planet and launch an invasion!"
"Invasion? If Lord Impyernos is alive, I know you have already sent numerous Eldrich there! And if you are here now, it can only mean... that they are dead!" Xulas shouted.
pAnD a(-)n0ve1.com "Cherubim Bolerax. I, who studied the powers of space and time, know that the Planesworld is very tricky to enter. You can only afford to send Crowns and those weaker at your current level. And they would need to change their forms if they are Eldrich's because of the curse. So the power of Allaso is necessary lest the Ygrdassils ozone attack them. So you gathered us all because you want us to go there instead of you?" Tathar glared.
"You have my respect, but don't test my bottom line!"
"Tathar is right. I know of your plan. The Planesworld has numerous portals. You want to open them! But I also know that opening them requires that part of the Planesworld be weakened! To use our darkness to corrupt the land so that these seals that prevent all those portals created millennia ago could be broken! Even if your methods for raiding the Planesworld can reach Cherubim, it will only end in a massacre!" Xulas roared.
"I have called you all here because we have found entry to the Planesworld. A new means to enter is made open to us! If we have the strength to open the door, we could move in! Such knowledge was too good for us! We thought, should we not also call our friends and invite them into the world to bypass the barriers and destroy the Planesworld from the inside?"
"Another entry point?!"
"There lies a mysterious world within the Planesworld. A world within the world! It seems to be a pocket dimension of another realm. And that world has portals leading to the nearby planets here!"
"An entrance to another world within the Planesworld?" Xulas frowned. He had never heard of such things.
"Yes. We were at first suspicious of this strange realm. But apart from Lord Impyernos, we have gods and fallen supporting us. A Greater God known as Rhykestorn Ever has contacted Lord Impyernos and helped us make it possible to move within this world known as the Middle. The team we are building will not awaken the portals in the Planesworld. At least, not yet. Our goal is to go to the Lowlands. The region which both the Highlands and the Netherlands promised never to send beings above Crowns. And our target is a place called Airom!"
"That sounds good and all... But there is no proof of your claims." Tathar argued.
"Ah, but there is... Let me ask if this is familiar to many of you... There lies a portal in your world. A mysterious portal with intense limitations. But that limitation recently weakened. Now Commanders and Cardinals could move in. A place where there lies a Golem Celestial!" Bolerax smiled.
There were some Crowns who heard it and were surprised.
"My lord... You know?" A Crown Lizardman asked.
"Yes. That place is currently set in your world. The portals will soon change, and other worlds will be connected to them. But that very place I spoke of is where you lizardmen have been trying to take over! That is Middle! The very same world that connects to the Planesworld!"
