Avalon, home to the Gods of multiple universes. Gods of Man, Beast, Demon, Fae, Spirits, Giants, and many more races call Avalon home. Even the old God's of the elements reside in the limitless world. Several of the pillars that created modern Avalon where gathering on the Plains of Asura. Odin, King of Asgard and head of the Nine Realm Kingdom.
Ra, Pharoah of Light and leader of the Sky Empire.
Jahovah, High God of the Holy Kingdom.
Lucifer, Father of Demons and the Lord of the Fallen Lands.
Titus, Godfather of the Giants and leader of the Demi Hoard Warband.
Of the twelve strongest to exist these five with countless others of the other factions and there own stood on a hillside. The tall yellow grass fields flowing across the Plains of Asura gave it the effect of waves streaming across a golden sea. A few miles away in the valley there was a break in space, a crack into the void beyond. The world seemed to bend and twist all around the edges as space around it contorted until it broke ever expanding in the area around it. The erie silence as a dull purple mist seemed to seep from the void beyond.
"Jahovah, what do you make of this?" said Ra while standing at the top of the hill with the most powerful beings there.
"I'm not to sure, but I do have a guess" said Jahovah as he kept focused on the cracks in space infront of them.
"Enlighten us with your theory tiny ant man" Titus mocked outloud as most humans stood but to his knees.
"How dare you speak to the high God that way giant!" Micheal the archangel knight was one of Jahovahs most power generals was crazy to see any existence treat his leader without respect.
"Easy Micheal, the increase in size of Titus did not go to his Brian so he can't even remember the beginnings of us high gods anymore" Jahovah said while sighing and drifting into thoughts of the past for a second before continuing. "What I think is happening is nothing good I'm afraid.... I think Avalon is going to be reopening to the multiverse once again."
Only the oldest amoung them all present could understand the implications of those words. The world of Avalon was not there birthplace. the twelve pillars and now leaders of the most power factions came here long ago from other universes. Everyone was silent waiting for Jahovah to continue talking.
"All of us, All of our people, civilizations, culture, all of it we have built up since back when we originally came to Avalon. This world opened its doors for us all to enter millennia ago, those doors thanks to the twelve high gods of Avalon closed when we obtained divinity. Everything here was made by us thanks to our endless expanse of power, knowledge, and the gifts that being a traveler on Avalon gave us. The twelve pillars formed in the time since then, this stable world has only ever experienced a safe period with internal strife. With the void crack and the door opening we can only assume a new age for Avalon is coming" Jahovahs words were not meant to strike fear but most existences there could never overcome the fear of the unknown and of the things they can't control.
"woww.....someone has grown to be awfully cynical after living so long. Seems you grow closer to embracing that darkness inside of you Jahovah" Lucifer said while sitting in a lawn chair watching the commotion of the world unfold unfazed.
"hmph, So what now? Odin, one of the most powerful at the gathering, he was so overbearing and his pride seemed to form an aura around him. He as everyone else that had come to Avalon before divinity never let there positions change they way they look at eachother. They all had built this world with there own hands and nothing stood above them, but they were once all companions in a past long forgotten by all mortal beings.
"Anyone attuned with space want to see if we can force it closed?, this mist is giving me the creeps" Jahovah said while massaging his temples with the headache of the unknown already starting.
Infront of the crack now stood a old man that seemed to embody space itself. A Great World Sage of Avalon, known as Comelleo. he stood as a grand figure and his age did not reflect the vigor and power that was radiating his body. His right hand held a staff engraved in golden runes, swirling faintly around his staffs core at the top was a sphere that held its own universe. Space was his element of power granted to him by the world of Avalon itself. "I'll try Jahovah, but this was caused by Avalon itself, I do not think the powers granted to me by the world will be able to stop what's in motion" Comelleo was calm but he knew that if he failed unless all twelve pillars tried they might not surpass his power in space.
"Thanks Comelleo, but just trying will show us if this is truly the will of Avalon or if something else is happening" Jahovah nodded at his old friend and chess buddy on the occasional century where peace lasted.
"Okay, but don't blame the sages for the will of Avalon, we don't know the future" Comelleo's staff started to brighten as the galaxy inside generated energy. His white hair swept backwards as the power of space started materialize in the air and the world seemed to bend to the phenomenon.
Jahovah, the High God of man and one of the twelve most powerful existences in Avalon could only sigh. If it was the will of Avalon and his theory was correct then this world was about to go through turmoil.
The Great Sage Comelleo walked slowly across the Plains of Asura towards the crack. Now hundreds of meters long, shaped as if it was glass spiderwebbing through space and the world's fabric. The dull mist intensifying into a cloud for erroding all matter around the crack. The purple mist would start to glow more intense as it absorbed more matter. Turning from a dull lavender at the beginning into a royal purple that seemed deep with power. The dark mist full of power would combine with the edges and expand the void even further ever second.
"Avalon here my call!!" Comelleo's voice boomed across the area as everyone felt the air change around them. Hairs stood up on the backs of all weaker beings. Only those Existences at the level Demi-God or above where able to stand without kneeling to the power of the world now flooding to Comelleo.
The world froze as everyone's focus landed on the staff as it was raised high above his head and the power all around him formed torrents of energy heading towards the galaxy at the top. The moment accelerated when Comelleo launched his foot forward thrusting the staff into the ground. The golden runes that were enscribed along the whole body of the staff started to materialize an inch of the surface and they rotated at first slowly but sped up as golden lines raced across the surface of the world surrounding he crack.
"World Magic: Great Space Seal"
"World Magic: Demensional Barrier"
Instantly the world energy stored in the staff unleashed. Heaven and earth shook as the ground trembled and sky screamed with the Shockwaves of energy raging through the area. The earth broke open and 6 massive pillars raised towards the sky above and enclosing the crack to the void inside them. The golden lines spreading them the crack connecting to the base of each pillar. as the formed a circle and drew a seal on the ground calling directly upon the Space Sages personal power to destabilize and to use the world energy to mend and close the distortion. monstrous clouds blocked out the area from the sky. The world shook and trembled as the clouds opened up and poured a torrent of enhanced mana rain. The rain fell through the sky but was all pulled to the six pillars that surrounded the area. A Barrier of shimmering energy formed as it turned the pillars into towers and the barrier made a wall that surrounded the crack fully. A thundering sound echoed through the world and the pillars each pulsed with the Shockwave. Each pillar flashed with a different color as they pulled the mana rain into there surface enhancing there characteristics.
Black, White, Red, Blue, Yellow, Brown.
Darkness, Light, Fire, Water, Air, Earth.
The pillars pulsed now on a rhythm and the barrier grew brighter and more solid. The pillars started to bend forward so the top of each tower of the wall would connect in a hexagonal prymid that would push it towards the crack. The golden seal was trying to overpower the crack itself and using the power of space the seal was working to weaken the crack.
The whole group of observers could only be stuck in a cycle of awe and admiration for the power the Great Sage Comelleo had been displaying.
"Everyone Run!!!" Ra was the first to see the tiniest crack form on the barrier.
"Fuck this, Comelleo get out of there!!!!-------"
Before Lucifer could finish yelling towards Comelleo he saw the later drop to his knees. The vigor and power had left his body.
"I'm sorry Jahovah, Lucifer.....I can't stop this, Avalon is breaking my spell" Comelleo had unleashed two world tier spells that should be able to command laws and used the highest mana consumption of all this spells. he was exhausted and couldn't move a muscle after giving everything he had.
Jahovah looked at Micheal and told the later to flee as everyone had already turned to flee after Ra had given the warning.
Instantly appearing near Comelleo's body, Jahovah grabbed his arm and vanished.
"The void, the crack, the door is opening" Lucifers face was a cross with puzzlement and frustration towards the crack before he vanished as well.
All the higher existences present from the twelve pillar factions of Avalon left the Plains of Asura. Each faction had to go prepare their people and themselves for the future. They had entered a new time for the world and will now have face unknowns.
