----------------------------------------------------------
A long time ago back in the [Ancient Era], there existed figures of unfathomable power known as the [Titled Ones].
Their stories contained feats thought
to be impossible by most and were spread throughout the Cosmic Sky.
Today we shall explore the story of one of these unfathomable figures......
.....The Legend of Hyperlight.
----------------------------------------------------------
Before Hyperlight rose to prominence he was once a human named Gibriel who lived in Gaia.
Gaia was the first celestial being that gave rise to the creation of humans before Nuwa had created the humans of the present era.
These creations of Gaia were given the term "Ancient Humans", for not only were they more physically capable than the humans of the present era, they also have an innate potential to transcend their limitations.
Gibriel lived a simple life as a fellow nomad, following his group to hunt and gather food.
But one night changed his life for better or worse...
It was late evening, Gibriel was the only one awake in his group at the time due to being assigned as the night watch in case of any coming dangers.
Gibriel sat near the campfire, looking directly at the flames, astonished by it.
Just as he was about to touch the fire in curiosity, a ray of light descended from the sky and struck Gibriel.
This was no ordinary light.....this was from a [Titled One], the Primordial Light of The Mad Angel, Galadriel.
The Mad Angel was once an Angel Primarch, commanding hundreds of thousands of Angels.
During the First Cosmic-Abyssal War, Galadriel was schemed against by the forces of Abgrund and was corrupted with Abyssal Energy.
Galadriel tried to resist.....but it was already too late....He became a madman, not only savagely annihilating his enemies but also his allies and the angels under his command, becoming.....The Mad Angel.
Before anybody even tried to stop him, The Mad Angel had already left the battlefield, leaving a path of carnage and destruction in its wake.
It destroyed countless civilizations, terraformed entire planets to make them unhabitable, slaughtered trillions of lives, it even slaughtered other [Titled Ones].
In order to stop the Mad Angel, three [Titled Ones] teamed up to prevent the Mad Angel in enacting more destruction: [Pyro Archon] Sylvanna, [The Unfettered One], and [Deity of Speed] Hermes.
These figures managed to drive The Mad Angel back into a corner and delivered a final strike that ended the path of destruction that The Mad Angel created in its wake.
As a last resort, The Mad Angel retrieved his origin, the Primordial Light and hurled it into the Cosmic Sky, planning to find a vessel for it to enact a resurrection.
A millennia after it was hurled into the Cosmic Sky, it finally found its way to one.....Gibriel.
However, The Mad Angel's plan wasn't exactly successful. Because as was said earlier, Ancient Humans has the innate potential to transcend their limitations....and that's where it comes to play.
Instead of Gibriel's consciousness being destroyed by the Primordial Light to be replaced by The Mad Angel's own, Gibriel's consciousness had instead destroyed The Mad Angel's consciousness, leaving the power of the Primordial Light to Gibriel's volition.
However, it came with a cost. Though Gibriel received The Mad Angel's strength and abilities....he also gained The Mad Angel's corruption, becoming a madman like him.
Engulfed with power, Gibriel flew towards the stars and unleashed devastation.
He destroyed numerous civilizations, massacred entire species, and even managed to kill other [Titled Ones] such as [The Red Conqueror] Aatrox, [Emperor Tundra] Grimgar, and even the [Deity of Speed] Hermes.
Earning the title, [Hyperlight]; "Light so intense, it has run mad."
Hyperlight's reign of terror was about to reach its peak, until he met a certain someone.
In the midst of destroying a civilization, a [Titled One] came to try and stop him.
[Deity of Ice and Serenity], Aurora.
The two fought and fought, leaving a trail of destruction and ice in their wake.
Though the Deity of Ice and Serenity was strong, Hyperlight was stronger and eventually, Hyperlight had Aurora on a chokehold.
However, as was said earlier, Aurora is the Deity of Ice and Serenity, with emphasis on the Serenity part, Aurora has the ability to heal those with.....mental issues.....and currently, Hyperlight is a patient needing of such healing.
In a desperate attempt to get out of the life-taking chokehold, Aurora used all of her divinity to heal the corruption that took over Hyperlight's mind...and it succeeded.
Hyperlight had regain his sanity once more....but...the damage had already been done.....the dead could not be revived...those civilizations that were crushed into dust cannot be reconstructed back to their prominence.....all those death and destruction caused by his hand were permanent.
However.....change is possible.....though forever marked by sin....the possibility to change and attain for the light remains possible.
After the altercation, Hyperlight regarded Aurora as his benefactor and requested for him to become her companion as thanks for regaining his sanity back.
Aurora though wary of the potential danger Hyperlight can bring if his madness were to come back, accepted his request.
For centuries they journeyed through the Cosmic Sky, exploring civilizations, saving lives, slaying monsters, preventing calamities, and eventually....the two fell in love.
However, during the time when the two were planning to get married, the Abyss strucked the Cosmos once more.....thus enacted the Second Cosmic-Abyssal War.
The frontlines of the war was located at the edge of the Deva Realm, where the Deity Race resided. Being a deity herself, Aurora went to the frontlines to fight the forces of Abgrund and defend her homeland.
Hyperlight joined her and the two became a duo whose names were spread throughout both sides of the battlefield due to their teamwork and astonishing power.
However, one existence became focused on them once he took notice of them. This existence was General Hagorn, the one who currently leads the forces of Abgrund in this war and also the one who schemed against the Angel Primarch, Galadriel back in the First Cosmic-Abyssal War which gave birth to The Mad Angel.
General Hagorn took notice of Hyperlight's power and recognized its origins. So he devised another scheme.....the same as he did with the Angel Primarch he would do to Hyperlight not only to demoralize the Cosmic Forces but to also put the tides of the war in their favor.
A few days later, Hyperlight found himself surrounded by the forces of Abgrund. Aurora was nowhere to be found as she was lured by the forces of Abgrund into another surroundment. Hyperlight left with no choice, though outnumbered, fought them all. With his power, Hyperlight defeated the forces either one by one or multiple at once.
Though he was winning the fight, the battle was not over as in the back lines, General Hagorn was waiting for the right moment to enact his corruption....and eventually.... that moment did come...
Exhausted, Hyperlighy took a slight breather, making him vulnerable. There, General Hagorn finally made a move and corrupted Hyperlight's mind, the same as he did with Angel Primarch, Galadriel...and like the previous one.....it was successful.
When Aurora finally arrived to help, it was already too late.....Hyperlight had come back to his madness.....
Aurora had no choice to fight him all over again.....and so they fought....for hundreds of miles, waves of energy and pieces of ice could be seen with the naked eye.
As Hyperlight was stronger than Aurora, she was gradually losing her ground against her lover. In a desperate attempt to fix things, Aurora used her ability once more to try and heal Hyperlight's madness...but this time...the corruption on Hyperlight's consciousness was stronger than before.....therefore...it failed.....and the mad Hyperlight pierced a hole through Aurora's chest.
Aurora was...going to die...and she knew that...but she also knew that she must not let her lover continue to go mad after her death....so as the last and final attempt.....Aurora used her remaining divinity along with her origin to enact her most powerful healing on Hyperlight...this time....it was finally successful...
Hyperlight regained his sanity once more...but this time at the cost.....of his most beloved....
Aurora's last words were
"Goodbye, my love...let your light be tainted...no longer..."
Before turning into particles and spreading through the Cosmos.
Hyperlight screamed and wailed like a madman in despair....he didn't just watch his most beloved die in front of him, he was also the one who killed her with his own two hands.....
Quickly, Hyperlight noticed the presence of General Hagorn and realizes...it was all his fault....he was the one who corrupted his mind once more, leading to the death of his loved one.....he was the instigator.....and he.....must pay the price....ALL OF THEM MUST PAY THE PRICE!!!!!!!!
Hyperlight swore to himself and to Aurora that he will make it his life's mission to annihilate the forces of Abgrund once and for all...and it will start with General Hagorn.
Hyperlight rushed to him and delivered consecutive blows along with several beams of light. General Hagorn tried to run but light...is incredibly fast.....therefore....there is no escaping Hyperlight.
Hyperlight rips General Hagorn into pieces and made sure that the general felt all those pain before his death.
With anger and vengeance coursing through his body, Hyperlight speedblitz through the forces of Abgrund with astonishing power, eliminating their lives like cannon fodder.
This feat surprised both sides. However, Hyperlight wasn't done yet.
Hyperlight entered the portal where the forces of Abgrund where coming out from and closed it from the inside, trapping him inside the Abyss.
Thus ending the Second Cosmic-Abyssal War, and enacts the beginning of the Hyperlight-Abyssal War...
Millennia passed, nobody knows what happened to Hyperlight ever since then and eventually the forces of Abgrund had invaded the cosmos once again, enacting more Cosmic-Abyssal Wars.
However, it is still believed by the Cosmic Forces that Hyperlight continues to fight against the forces of Abgrund, in order to complete his promise of eliminating them to extinction.
That ends the story of Hyperlight for now...thank you all for exploring this story with me...I am the Narrator, a mere storyteller and you best believe that.....well see you next time.....
