"What the hell!!!!!" Shailya was shocked to see the things happening on the surface.
"Is this real, Shailya?!" Vahalla rubbed his eyes in shock, looking at the rifle unit.
"This is the worst possible scenario: humans knowing about the secret of power and asking for it. This is a dream!" Vahalla was crying in shock.
"No, it is not. This is the reality, Vahalla." Shailya cried to bring Vahalla to his senses.
"Shailya, if this is all reality, then I shall tell you that thing." Vahalla said
"What thing?" Shailya asked
"The God of War, Zepta, and the Spirit of Hatred, Sosori, have decided the fate of this planet." Vahalla said
"Huh, what do you mean by fate?" Shailya was confused by Vahalla's statement.
"Look at the person standing on the top of the Zet Husky formation in his shoes." Vahalla said
"Yeah, so what about it?" Shailya asked
"His shoes are starting to glow; that is why you can see them in this dark environment and not the others." Vahalla said, pointing at the shoes of Saar Hussein.
"In simple words, the God of War and the spirit Sosori have already decided to lend him their powers, but the barrier created by the five sacred trees of Prithvi is blocking the mystical powers." Vahalla said
"But isn't he a God? How can a mere barrier stand up to such a great being?" Shailya asked
"The barrier created by the sacred trees is no ordinary barrier; it has served this planet for several millennia, and it will keep protecting this planet from any outer invasion, but it cannot hold long to a god's power, and on top of that, a spirit is also trying to break the barrier. This barrier has the potential to block even God's power, but not for so long." Vahalla said, looking down at the surface.
"Are gods really like this, peace destroyer?!" Shailya asked
"No, my son, the one that you call God isn't a peace destroyer at all. In this heavenly universe, gods are beings with a duty to look over the universe. The creator of the heavenly universe, the operator, and the destroyer are the three deities, the supreme beings of this heavenly universe." Vahalla said
"What are you saying? I can't understand." Shailya was confused.
"It is not that hard. In order to create balance, the deities created good and bad, virtuous and evil. We all begin on a similar path, and at a certain point we are forced to choose between good and bad." Vahalla said
"The gods are not selfish; they are virtuous; they cannot ignore their devotees praying to them, and because of their virtue, they are forced to grant them a wish to continue being virtuous. So as the rifle guy was praying to God of war with all his heart and pure devotion, the sacrifices he promised could not be ignored by him. Thus, the rifle guy will be granted his wish no matter what; it doesn't matter if the whole planet is in danger. Even if he becomes a devil after doing this, He continued
"But at this point, we don't have any choice, as the barrier of the sacred trees will be destroyed at any time now. The glowing shoes of that human certainly mean that the spirit and God are already on the move. So hear me out." Vahalla said
"I see. So what will be the impact of this on us?" Shailya asked
"All the mystical power that the sacred trees were holding will lose their vessel, and thus they will scatter all over the world, and everyone will be granted unique powers and abilities. However, the powers that were stored in these trees will merge with the new technology and things of this era, meaning they won't just be granted the elemental powers of water, fire, wind, sky, and land. They will be given anything for power. It can be absurd, but this is the truth. Another thing is that everyone will not be given equal powers, meaning they will have different densities of powers. The one with more density will be stronger than the one with less density. This will create chaos, just like when the blades with powers and swords with powers were introduced, but this chaos will be a lot more." Vahalla said
"And this planet will become vulnerable to the Rulers of the Dark Universe and the Superiors of the Light Universe. Shailya, as per my intelligence, there are several other higher beings like me on this planet already." Vahalla continued
"Even though the barrier has not broken yet?" Shailya asked
"Just like me, when I entered this planet, some other beings also entered." Vahalla said
"So, I want you to get into the royal palace and make friends with the Pannival or become someone of great importance and equivalent to the Pannival." Vahalla said
"Are you kidding me? The highest rank in this nation is Pannival; there is no equivalent, but I can still try for Pannivalam's position." Shailya said
"Another thing about the provisional squad you joined: don't leave them; gather more people from Saptvansh and create the most powerful team. Once everything is settled, I personally will train them, and we will." Vahalla said
"Quiet, I will now end this war with my powers." Shailya said
"So you finally understand." Vahalla said and patted Shailya's hand.
The whole battlefield was on fire, and the Zet Husky was standing between those flames.
Zet Husky is a battle formation used by the Muvah military; however, this battle formation was forbidden by the Union of Nations. In 1834, during the Battle of Quetta, the Zet Husky formation was used by Khorasan Mamlaka against the Kingdom of Pashtun. It resulted in the deaths of over 52,000 soldiers and roughly 12,000 civilians. It was immediately banned by Monde Uni, the organisation preceding the Union of Nations.
This battle formation is divided into three sections: the base, defence, and fang. The base is a pyramid of several soldiers surrounded by the corpses of fallen comrades. The soldiers in the base are usually tall and wide, and they are strong in terms of brute strength. The soldiers that are best at brute strength are called 'Panzers'. They create shockwaves by beating the ground with their limbs without disturbing the formation and throwing away the foot soldiers.
The defence section usually protects the formation from any outside attack and defends the fortress or commanders. The defence section is armed with long-ranged weapons such as snipers and guns. These soldiers are skilled in terms of long-range combat.
The strongest section of Zet Husky is the Fang section; the commander of the unit is part of this section. The soldiers standing at such a height use both short-ranged and long-ranged attacks. All the soldiers in this section are masters of the 'fliege' technique that helps them attack the enemy from every distance. Fliege is a combat technique used to walk in the air and fly. The only con of this technique is time. It can only be used for a short amount of time. Together, all these sections form a Tyrannosaurus-like structure. The soldiers at the tail part of the formation hold each other and create a flexible attack, making it easy to create shockwaves of air.
"Saar, are you sure about your wish? Is this what you want? I don't know how you came to know all this about me or Sosori, but I shall warn you, as these superior powers will only bring chaos and despair to Prithvi. No living creature will be allowed to live in peace and die without regrets. And if you have made yourself ready for what comes with these powers, I shall give you the final warning. This is a warning, not just for Saar Hussein but for all my children on this planet, for all the living creatures." God of war, Zepta himself spoke up to Saar and warned him of what came next.
"I have been ready for this moment since the day I was born. Yes, I knew what was to come. The only goal I had and have in my life is to serve my master; whatever he wants me to do, I shall do no matter what. Oh, Lord Zepta I am ready for this, but before this, I want to say something to every creature of this universe listening to me." Tears rolled down Saar's eyes as he spoke.
"I am no enemy of humanity. The truth is, the real enemies of humanity are the so-called leaders who put others' lives ahead of theirs. Without us soldiers, even the leaders are nothing but pests. We are the humans who have sworn to protect our people, but what are we stuck in? Wars. I will tell you the reality." He continued to gain attention.
"What is he talking about?" All the soldiers murmured to themselves.
"At present, every creature in this world can listen to me even without any broadcast, no matter where you are, who you are, or what you are. Humans and every other creature who lives on this planet will just say this once, so hear me. This planet is in danger. What we know is not enough. The supreme beings we call 'gods' are real; even the 'devils' are real. Gods reside on the Heaven's Realm in the light universe, and the devils reside on the Hell's Realm in the dark universe, while we humans are in the living universe. The current system we live under is going to collapse. Millions of humans will die in the coming few hours." Saar addressed all creatures who lived on Prithvi, no matter the species; he knew something that should not be known.
"What the hell is going on?" someone on the other side of the planet
"What is this voice in my hand?" The voice of Saar was heard by all living creatures.
"Collapse. What the hell is happening?" A state president of Anuhuac shouted.
"How the hell does he know this, Grand Santarino?" Someone in the Union of Nations' headquarters.
"Shailya, we are doomed." Vahalla said with a fierce look on his face.
"I'm Dragona of the Gobiemo Sangrieto, and as the second-in-command, I now declare war with the Union of Nations'. I, along with Gobiemo Sangrieto, will take over the Union of Nations' place and slaughter every single being who poses a threat to this planet. I am fire." Saar said with a loud voice.
"No-no-no way. Shailya, gather all the members of your provisional squad at once. We are up for some powerful enemy." Vahalla said she was eager for some action.
