Chapter 526 - The Destroyer II

Across the vastness of space, an enormous warship that was larger than any Prime Warsh.i.p.s stably floated in space, its golden exterior laced with red runic magic circles giving it an ancient feel as the vessel known as Realm Dreadnaught made its appearance.

Inside it, there existed an expansive hall filled with illusory screens that showed many scenes across the Novus Galaxy.

Many showed advancing Celestial Legions making their way to the Dark Expanse, some showed a few Legions reaching the junction between the two Expanses, and a single one showed a battle already underway as a Celestial Legion faced the defending forces of the Dark Expanse.

The description was actually not too correct to say the Celestial Legion was facing them, as just the single Commander was stealing the entire show as he released dominant attacks which wiped away all the enemies he faced with impunity!

In the hall filled with illusory screens inside this Realm Dreadnaught, the auras of 5 Star Forging Celestial Commanders freely displayed themselves as they observed the many scenes displayed, but their eyes were honing in on this particular battle as they sent communications towards each other.

"Apathetic eyes and ruthless enough to wipe even those below his level, the soldier that Little Vredral created is turning out to be better than we could have imagined."

"Such is the way for those with Noble Fate. I now wonder how the other one will perform."

Numerous discussions were underway between these Star Forging Celestials as they observed all the occurring battles and reported their progress to the Founder. They were also the ones that relayed the order of Aldrich at certain times as the deployment of the Celestials Legions and their targets were given from them!

At this moment, they saw the scene that [Unique Origin] displayed to everyone watching the space above the Witches Layer, a scene of dominating power of a Celestial releasing golden rays of light that vaporized all they touched.

"His speed of progression will only increase as it seems he will be obtaining our first victory in this war."

"Hmm. It is the benefits we will all enjoy soon."

Calm discussions continued as they watched the supposed deaths of tens of thousands, but their hearts had already prepared to see deaths in the billions as they continued to send commands and move their forces in the next few months, piercing through many regions of the Dark Expanse before they personally moved when they neared the deeper regions fortified by powerful Infernal Lords at the Star Forging and Nebula realm.

The plan the Founder had was for them to gradually gain more influence and Fate Lines as they conquered more and more stars under their rule, only moving with their most powerful forces when they had collected as many benefits as possible to push their comprehension in the Law of Fate to unimaginable heights!

Thus, these Star Forging Experts watched with shining eyes as they obtained the first victory, and it would forever go down in history that it was taken by Commander Crixus, the Destroyer!

RUMBLE!

Star shaking might rolled out as everyone the golden light of [Golden Decree] passed, every being was extinguished as tens of thousands ’perished’ instantly!

The two commanders of the Witches layer felt their wills slumping down as one of them could not fight off the fate essence any longer, many watching as his body turned to ash as well. The remaining commander looked at the golden light that continued to expand as he fought for his own life, tears falling from his face as he looked at this immense destruction as his voice painfully rang out.

"..surrender..."

"Stop...we surrender!"

His voice was hoarse as it began, becoming louder as he bellowed out with all his might, trying to save as many remaining people as possible from the fearsome golden light!

"Surrender!"

"Surrender...!"

The shouts of the defeated commander broke the final walls of strength of the forces of the Witches Layer, laying down their wands as they screamed out painfully and terrifyingly calling for surrender! They saw that they could not withstand even a single Commander, with their friends and families dying in droves by the second.

Noah looked at this despairing scene as his apathetic eyes remained the same, the golden rays of lights released from [Golden Decree] not stopping as his figure bathed in crackling golden essence came towards the remaining commander that was looking at him with hallowed eyes.

"We...surrender..."

His hoarse voice rang out again as Noah ignored it, knowing enemy commanders at the World Rank would not be spared by the Celestials as he reached out and grasped the neck of this defeated being in his hands.

"Rest for now."

His apathetic voice rang out as even more fate essence surrounded the body of the Commander, his eyes shaking as all those watching saw his body turned to ash seconds later.

"..."

Even as they called for surrender, this terrible being did not stop as he killed the last commander of the opposing side- effectively showing the victory of the second battle after the Verittas Fortress going to the Celestials!

OOOOOH!

The shocked Legion behind him roared out at this scene of victory as they watched the golden lights from the shining star above them begin to dim, the despondent looks of the Mages and Witches that were defending the three stars that made up the Witches Layer becoming apparent as they floated in the void of space soullessly.

The more powerful ones spread out their awareness to sense the damage and those that had ’died’, calculating that more than 90,000 beings had perished from this single Celestial Commander alone in the span of a few minutes.

Their eyes and the eyes of many beings watching turned towards this bring known as Commander Crixus as they became enraptured by the shimmering and crackling golden light, the apathetic voice of this being ringing out as it called for the end of the battle.

"You shall all be saved and brought under the order of Celestials. Those that surrender will not face death, and those that work with us will be the new leaders under an era of Order and Balance."

RUMBLE!

His voice spread out in waves as he floated in the starry expanse of space grandly, the Celestials behind him cheering out as the grandeur only shone brighter.

"For order!"

"For balance!"

Shouts rang out as those defending three powerful stars containing billions of beings fell onto the hands of Celestials, the terrible Commander Crixus calling for order and balance after taking away the lives of tens of thousands, saying that no more deaths will occur this day for as long as they comply!

The immense might he showed caused all the beings to lay down their weapons as the first Celestial Legion that went on to expand the influence of Celestials into the Dark Expanse was the legion under the command of Crixus, the Destroyer.

The name and might of this Celestial who had single-handedly faced three experts at the same realm as him while wiping out more than 10,000 beings spread out, soon becoming another name to be paying attention to as the flames of the Last War fully went underway!
