Ascension of the Nephilim

Mechiel had recalled the many lords and Celestials that were among their forces. In the future, the portals leading towards the nations were opened and the force from the Dark Sea made a conquest up north. At that moment, the decay in the Planesworld was so great that the power and laws that limited those above Conquerors ended.

And there, the Vampire Queen Mechiel, who had already risen to great prominence and power, had equal standing to meet many of the Celestials.

The Celestials were all defeated and served the Eldrich. And Tathar Malwasul was a powerful elven mage of a nearby planet.

But now, a weaker form of this Celestial stood before her. The elf was not even a mage but followed a different cultivation path! This Tathar was an archer with great powers of Holiness, as opposed to Tathar's great power in Space/time magic.

And this powerful enemy was reported to the king of Ever Day.

"Why is he here?! I told Listrel and Lea all traitors when we were in the Unrecorded Pages... But I never expected that Tathar Malwasul managed to create a clone and send it here!" Mechiel frowned.

"Yet how is he able to hide all aspects of Destiny? Why is this man standing like a totally different person here?" Mechiel pondered. But she had seen and experienced many impossible things. Kyros himself has found a way to divide his soul and create another person. in fact, Mechiel even believed that a day would come when Kyros and Nightwing would become different people.

"There have been several miracles that I witnessed that surpass my understanding. But I must not be too hasty! That man is clearly Tathar. But is he Tathar Malwasul that I know of in the future? Or is this man born from a Code of Corruption? I even sense Fate Challenger in him! Regardless, this elf's true identity should be related to that Celestial of Destiny! Therefore, I must ascertain if he is that person, a severed form like Nightwing is to Kyros, or an offspring!"

The two stood at the center of the throne with everyone in total silence.

"Your Princess has confirmed that a great army is moving towards her. The Uninvolved Lands is now under the control of the Eldrich and the Incubus known as Nightwing. War is coming. And your kingdom is called to fulfill its oath. The army will draw out the enemy. But more forces of great power are arriving from the heavens. Conquerors and Crowns are coming. Each kingdom in Central Midland is called to attack the location where we believe these enemies will fall. You have seventeen hours to prepare. The drop is expected to happen anytime. We need your forces ready to ambush."

"Is... this an order from the Highlands?" The Crown Paladin asked.

"It's not. This is but a suggestion of the princess, who cannot secure a direct order now. But should you chose not to, not only will you have Conquerors and Crowns to fight, but all of the Uninvolved Lands spilling with all the powerful cultivators that these lands have deemed wicked. So it's really up to you." Tathar chuckled.

"We came here to meet with Commander Branze Steele. We need more details about what your son informed us. Once the information has been verified to be true, and the attack does occur, he will be granted royalty status to the Highlands for stopping an invasion of the Eldrich." Tathar added.

At those words, almost everyone reacted and could not help but utter the sounds of shock.

"A royalty status of the Highlands?!" The Crown Paladin, who was clearly of Destiny, exclaimed in envy.

The status of such a person would far exceed the kings of the Midlands!

"And since he is married to you, that will make you a royal as well, lady Mechiel." Merick bowed. He kept his eyes from meeting the eyes of Mechiel in fear of what Listrel warned him about.

"Which will automatically make the Steele family valuable members of the Highlands. You won't be Royals, but you will be granted a place up there." Tathar added.

"I... I am unworthy!" Branze bowed.

Diana also followed.

Everyone glanced at this family and was thankful they did not mock or attack them as they originally desired! They would be members of the Highlands and live in the richest plot of land in all of the Planesworld! In those lands, becoming a Crown is almost expected! Even the worst and dumbest cultivators would naturally reach that level with the presence of the great light!

"Of course you're unworthy...!" The Crown Paladin was doing his best to contain those words but found himself whispering them anyway!

He realized what he had said.

"You are unworthy! It's all thanks to the brave sacrifice of your son! May I know this future noble's son's name?" The Crown Paladin asked.

"Kyros Steele. We have no details as to his survival. There is little hope of finding him alive. I beg his majesty to heed our advice!"

"The Highlands wills it. And the natural course of things demands that we indeed take action." The King answered.

"Good. I still bear orders of great importance. May we speak to the king alone? And would the guest from the Lowlands remain?" Tathar asked.

"...May I ask what our lord has to-"

"Shall the king's advisors leave us now and not pry their noses into the affairs of Protos Endoxus?!" Tathar demanded.

The Crown Paladin was silenced and retreated back.

Everyone else left the room, and only the king, queen, and their two sons remained.

"I will be frank. Our princess ordered us to appear after the Steele family because we were tasked to discern who the traitors in this kingdom were. The true purpose of our visit is to warn your family of the pending massacre that will blot Ever Day off the map of Midlands!" Tathar spoke frankly.

The king, queen, and princes were once more shocked at the sudden declaration of Tathar.

"My lord...?! What grounds do you have for-"

"What evidence? Our princess found it, nearly losing her life. You will recall that there was a time when she was forgotten. She disappeared for several months, and that should have brought panic in the Planesworld, but instead, we moved on with our lives. Even her royal father did so. Can you explain why that happened? Why did no one care when she disappeared?" Tathar asked again.

"Please educate this fool." The king bowed.

"Because of a spell. A powerful spell. The Eldrich not only have the power to breach the barriers that protect the Planesworld, but they have a powerful spell that alters memories. It was as if... Princess Listrel was not a priority. We moved on with our lives when she lost communication. We knew she was in the Lowlands, but suddenly, we moved on with our lives. In those moments, Princess Listrel acted beyond what we could comprehend and found secrets floating in the world of dreams and the illusory realms that even Celestials would not comprehend. But there, she found the secrets. There is no solid evidence for our claims. But you can know if this is true if the forces you deploy to slay the arriving forces will be ambushed."

"We will be careful that this-"

"You don't understand our point, your majesty. Even in your best preparations, you will still be ambushed. That is because the traitors of this kingdom are so many that the Highlands believe this entire kingdom will fall. These are hard words to believe. But if your forces will somehow be ambushed, take warning from this and find a way to flee. Flee and request refuge to the Steele family. The Celestial Golem in Middle will be your best protection." Tathar explained.

"...I thank the kind lord for this warning... But, nevertheless, I refuse to believe it."

"We expect it to be so. The burnt hand is the best teacher. Make your preparations. Make them fail, and have your team be slaughtered. But here is an order that I will give, assign that Crown Paladin who interrupted me to take part in this mission. I'm almost certain of his treachery. Send him to fight, and do not allow him to have access to any important information with this mission. His might as a Crown would make him a good choice to be part of this team, after all. The Conquerors and Crowns that will arrive would be in a weakened state since they will be falling down as the laws of the Planesworld's gravity will seal their abilities of flight."

"...So they will be weak?"

"Yes. The ambush should eradicate them. And if you succeed, your kingdom earns the wealth of all the Conquerors and Crowns you kill, as well as rewards from the Highlands. But... heh." Tathar chuckled.

"Princess Listrel is sure that the team you send out will be massacred! Since you won't believe me, then bear the pain of such loss when it happens before you!"
