Elysium Citadel, Origin Dimension

I patiently continued to guide them, biding my time for the perfect moment to act. Eventually, the tension became unbearable for the Omegas; their envy and dissatisfaction reached a boiling point.
Unable to endure Cal-Horra's dominance any longer, they began to conspire against him. Whispers of rebellion filled the air as they gathered in secret, fueled by the Seeds of Sin I had planted. Each Omega plotted with growing fervor, their minds ignited by ambition and desire for power. I watched from the shadows, knowing that the time for my grand design was finally at hand.
Seizing the opportunity, I focused my influence on one Omega whose Seed of Sin had reached its peak. Using my control, I bent his mind to my will, revealing Cal-Horra's weaknesses and outlining the actions he needed to take. The Omega's eyes widened with newfound determination, and without hesitation, he sprang into action, eager to implement my strategy against their powerful creator.
After getting everything ready, Xerath quickly called a secret meeting with the other Omegas. They gathered in a dimly lit room, where the air was filled with a mix of excitement and nervousness. Everyone was buzzing with quiet questions as they settled in, their eyes darting around the room. You could feel the tension, and they all wanted to know what Xerath had to say.
"Why have you called us here?" one Omega asked, his voice laced with curiosity.
"I have found the weakness of Cal-Horra," Xerath replied, his tone steady and confident. The statement sent a ripple of excitement through the group.
"What is it? And how did you find it?" the leader of the Omegas pressed, leaning forward, eager for details.
"I discovered this information while exploring one of the universes," Xerath explained, pacing slightly.
"The Celestials had sealed away their enemies, the Exterminators, in a separate universe. They couldn't kill them, so they trapped them instead. I told the Exterminator that I would free his race once we dealt with Cal-Horra, but I have no real intention of keeping that promise."
The other Omegas exchanged glances, a mixture of intrigue and concern passing among them. The leader raised an eyebrow, understanding the implications. "What do we need to do to kill Cal-Horra?" he asked, his voice firm and resolute.
"Cal-Horra's weakness lies with the Celestials," Xerath continued, his voice steady. "They created him in such a way that he can't harm them directly."
"But the Celestials won't help us," one Omega pointed out, his brow furrowing in frustration.
"True," Xerath acknowledged. "But we can use their blood to coat ourselves. Once we steal Cal-Horra's power, we won't be restricted from harming the Celestials. They will have no choice but to compromise with us."
A murmur of agreement spread through the group, but there were still questions. "Where can we find the Celestials' blood?" another Omega inquired, his curiosity piqued.
He reached into a hidden pocket and pulled out several vials filled with a shimmering crimson liquid. "I got the location of the celestial blood directly from the Exterminators. He wasn't keen on sharing the details at first, but after I made it clear what would happen if he didn't, he finally relented. After a perilous journey to the edge of the universe, I secured this, and I also took care of the Exterminator, who could have been a thorn in our side. This will be more than enough for our purposes."
The other Omegas leaned in closer to examine the vials, their eyes gleaming with a mix of excitement and apprehension. "This is incredible!" one exclaimed, a grin spreading across his face. "With this, we can finally take the fight to him!"
"Yes," Xerath replied, his eyes glinting with ambition. "Once we coat ourselves in this blood, we'll be able to approach Cal-Horra without the fear of his powers overwhelming us. We'll strike when he least expects it."
The Omega leader stood tall, a sense of determination washing over him. "So, what's our next step? How do we move forward with this plan?"
Xerath took a deep breath, gauging the mood of his fellow Omegas. "First, we need to gather more information about Cal-Horra's routines and any weaknesses we can exploit. We can't afford any mistakes."
"What about the Celestials? They might retaliate if they find out we're using their blood and killed Cal-Horra." another Omega voiced his concern.
"That's where our my strategy comes into play," Xerath reassured them. "Once we steal Cal-Horra's powers, we will have the upper hand. The Celestials will be forced to negotiate with us, knowing we now hold a significant advantage."
The room buzzed with energy as the Omegas exchanged ideas and strategies. They spoke of different ways to gather intel, discussing how to infiltrate Cal-Horra without raising any alarms. Each Omega contributed their thoughts, forming a plan that became increasingly elaborate as they collaborated.
I continued to manipulate them through the Seed of Sin; otherwise, the conversation would have been far too easy, without any flaws to uncover.
The Omegas had completed their plan to steal the power of Cal-Horra and were ready to take action. However, I knew that this endeavor would be anything but easy. But I still guided Xerath to take the lead in the their plan.
Once everything was in place, I gathered Zenith and Elys to share the plan. I explained the all the details and the opportunity for our confrontation with Cal-Horra. This was a critical moment, one that required their full understanding and commitment. As I outlined our strategy, I could see the gravity of the situation sinking in.
