The universe is a place where countless stories are created, told, and forgotten throughout the ages.
The stories consists of existences of unfathomable power, artifacts of unorecented might and versatility, and events the forever changed the history of the Cosmos.
Today we shall explore obe of these stories...the event known as...
The [Massacre of the Ancients].
----------------------------------------------------------
It all started in the center of the Universe, The Citadel of the Cosmos.
The Citadel of the Cosmos is a grand structure which its origins are unknown. No one knows who created nor when was it created, but it is believed by those who know of its existence that it existed before the expansion of the Universe.
Right now, The Citadel is home to the Celestial Beings, the first existences created to govern the laws of the Universe.
They were the judges and the executioners of the Cosmos, as well as the ones who enacted the spread of life across the Cosmic Sky.
One day, the space above The Citadel began cracking.....the Celestial Beings were immediately alerted and concerned as The Citadel is where creation started. Moreover, it is also where the laws of the Universe are at its pinnacle.....to be able to crack space in such a location...something must be happening that can potentially become a threat to the Universe.
Astronomer the [Celestial of Space] acted and released his might to fix the cracks.....but for some reason...nothing was happening....in fact.....it was like his power was getting sent into.....nothingness....
Kronos the [Celestial of Time] also acted, using his powers to try and reverse the cracks back into its previous form.....but just like Astronomer.....his power was also ineffective.....
Then the other Celestial Beings joined them and combined all of their powers to fix the cracks....but still.....it was ineffective....
The Celestial Beings were confused and felt unease from such a phenomena.....what is the cause of these cracks?.....is there something coming?.....or is there something that is about to happen?....
They then held a meeting below the cracks to come up with a way to find out its origins and the reason of its appearance.
In the meeting, Themis the [Celestial of Order] proposed to the others, to choose one of them inside the crack in space to investigate.
After a bit of delibiration, Kelestrios the [Celestial of War] was chosen due to his skills in combat, increasing his chances of survival if a fight were to happen.
Kelestrios summoned his armor and claymore and enters the crack in space.....
Location: ???
Time: ???
"What in the hell?" asked Kelestrios in confusion, as he finds himself in a space of....nothing.....
"Am i outside the Universe?" murmurred Kelestrios "if so, this shouldn't be possible, the crack is located in the center of the Universe not at the boundary..."
"But what if its a crack created by someone outside the Universe?....." said by an unknown existence, which echoes throughout the vicinity of the vast void.
"Who!!!!!!" shouted Kelestrios, his body began emitting a red aura.
Suddenly, a figure wearing a mask and full white attire materializes in front of Kelestrios.
Kelestrios unleashes an overhead strike toeards the figure before taking a step back....the figure takes a step to the side and dodges his attack.
"Who are you and what do you want?" asked Kelestrios, his claymore, ready to strike at anytime.
"Now..now..i don't think we should be pointing weapons at those who are unarmed" said the figure
"Answer my question and i might consider" said Kelestrios
"Hmmm....why not....." said the figure
"You may call me...The Beyonder...."
"What do i want?....the termination of all life....in all Universes...."
"So you are an enemy" said Kelestrios, his aura becomes stronger and his eyes begins to glow
"Yes" said The Beyonder
"Then i shall kill you!!!!" shouted Kelestrios as he charges forwards, towards The Bryonder
".....You may try....." said The Beyonder in a sneering tone
In just a second, Kelestrios arrived in front of The Beyonder and delivered a full-powered overhead strike.
Instead of countering or dodging, The Beyonder simply looked at Kelestrios with a big grin and grabs the blade of his claymore with one hand...stopping the attack.
The Beyonder balls up his other hand and was about to deliver a punch to Kelestrios's chest but before it connected, Kelestrios kicked The Beyonder away to gain distance.
Kelestrios then charges up by infusing his claymore with a large amount of energy..."War of Ferocity!!!"
Kelestrios unleashes a slash containing a huge amount of energy along with an unprecented killing and savage intent.
This strike is capable enough of destroying an entire system.....but The Beyonder just laughs and waves it off like it was dust.
"...Impossible" uttered Kelestrios in slight fear
"Well...sucks to suck ain---"
Suddenly, Kelestrios appears behind The Beyonder and releases a powerful strike...."Dimensional Slash!!!!!!"
Kelestrios's strike connected...but suddenly The Beyonder's "body" exploded into white clouds and a hand pierces through his chest...grabbing his heart.
Kelestrios coughs up blood but still continues to fight...he headbutts The Beyonder with the back of his head and stabs himself with his own claymore to stab The Beyonder.
The sudden unique attack makes The Beyonder cough up blood and his previous sneering face...becomes a face full of rage...
"HOW DARE YOU DAMAGE MY SACRED BODY!!!!!!"
The Beyonder pushes Kelestrios away and began mauling him energy-infused fists, beating him up black and blue.
He then kicks the beaten up Kelestrios away and began barraging him with energy blasts after energy blasts.
"You may be a Celestial of your Universe child....but i am power beyond your puny Universe!!!!!"
"I will show you the powers of the transcendent...."
A few hours later.....
Location: The Citadel of the Cosmos
"Why the hell is Kelestrios taking so long?" said Fulgur the [Celestial of Lightning]
"Maybe he's investigating very seriously..." said Págoma the [Celestial of Ice]
"Stop with the jokes, Págoma" said Gaia the [Celestial of Life] "we all know that Kelestrios is not the detective type, he must be fighting something"
Then suddenly.....a voice could be heard from the cracks in space....
"Oh he was fighting....but.....it appears he lost..." said the voice
The Celestials were immediately alerted and went into a defensive mode.
"Reveal yourself at once or we shall show no mercy" said Themis
"Wow...no mercy huh...then unfortunately i'll have to do you what i did to your colleague" said the voice
From the cracks in space, The Beyonder apppeared with a menacing grin on his face and holding something on his hands....the Celestials were shocked to see what he was holding....it was the head of Kelestrios.....
"Let's get this party started" said The Beyonder with an evil smile.....
To Be Continued.....
