Chapter 10 - Event: [Massacre of The Ancients] Part 2

----------------------------------------------------------

"Impossible...how was Kelestrios killed without us knowing, there wasn't even a reaction from the Will of the Universe!!....." shouted Themis in confusion

"Oh you're talking about the Celestial Death Phenomenon right?" calmly said The Beyonder

The Celestials telepathically communicated with each other about what The Beyonder had said, they haven't heard of such a phenomenon before...how did this individual of such thing....

The Beyonder sneered at the confused state of The Celestials "Wow....i did not expect for Celestials to not know what happens after their death...this Universe must be pretty young...tell me....have any Celestials died before this guy whose head i'm holding right now...."

The Beyonder raised his hand which holds the head of Kelestrios, The Celestials glared at The Beyonder for his audacity to flaunt the head of one of their own in front of them.

They were ready to attack him head on for his actions but a hint of curiosity begins to spark in their minds.

"Explain this.....phenomenon...." asked Gaia

"Hmmm you really don't know huh....." murmured The Beyonder, his eyes squints towards them with a smile that was obviously fake.

"Well let me not be selfish with knowledge and educate you a little bit..."

"The Celestial Death Phenomenon is---..."

Suddenly, The Beyonder appeared behind Ardeat the [Celestial of Fire] and pierced through his origin with his hand.

"....this...." said The Beyonder with a menacing grin.

With no time to react, Ardeat quickly loses his life force and died, turning into a bright light which quickly dissipated.

Moments later, tremors began to spread throughout the Cosmic Sky.....the vastness of space began shaking...the origin of the occurence?.....

Deep within the Citadel of The Cosmos....a white space containing a floating black sphere, surrounded by a multitude of singular-colored energy barriers could be seen tremoring...

The dissipated bright light from Ardeat's death materialized and destroyed the orange barrier before permanently dissipating.

Back at the surface, The Celestials felt their connection to the Universe had weaken and anger filled their minds.

"ATTACK!!!!!"

Under a fraction of a second, The Celestials surrounded The Beyonder and unleashed their might.

"Smite of Justice!!!!!!"

"Comet's Descent!!!!!"

"Divine Lightning!!!!!"

"....."

The attacks of the Celestials connected with The Beyonder but unfortunately, he casted multiple barriers around himself which blocked their attacks, both destroyed.

The Beyonder throws the head of Kelestrios through the spatial crack and engages with the Celestials.

The Celestails and The Beyonder fought throughout the Cosmic Sky...with each collision of attacks creating tremors....which were felt by all Cosmic Inhabitants.....nearby civilizations were affected and destroyed....[Titled Ones] were forced into hiding...and multiple species went extinct....

Throughout the fight, The Beyonder always had the upper hand and clobbered the Celestials, even the 5 Supreme Celestials were getting pushed back.

After a year of fighting, seeing no other choice, Págoma the [Celestial of Ice] sacrificed herself to buy time for the others to muster all of their assets to combat The Beyonder.

Not letting Págoma's sacrifice be in vain, The Celestials gathered the most powerful species and civilizations to fight against The Beyonder.

After a 10 years of preparation, The Beyonder was able to break out of Págoma's [Domain of Absolute Zero] and the Universal War.....began...and it was a devastating defeat.....

The war had caused thousands of civilizations to be wiped from the Cosmos.....hundreds of [Titled Ones]....and the [Ancient Species] along with some of the [Celestials] also followed...The Near Extinction of the [Leviathans],

Near Extinction of the [Astralis],

Near Extinction of the [Graians],

Near Extinction of the [Unovans],

Near Extinction of the [Ancient Humans],

Extinction of the [Barbarians],

Extinction of the [Symbiotes],

Extinction of the [Faeries],

Extinction of the [Knulls],

Death of the [Ancient Seven Angel Primarchs],

Death of the [The Seven Disciples of Acheron],

Death of [Beast Emperor Hydra],

Death of [Beast Emperor Chimera],

Death of [Astrologist],

Death of [Manda the Poison Primogenitor],

Death of [Dryad the Wood Primogenitor],

Death of [Lord Tundra the Ice Primogenitor],

Death of [Lord Titan the Metal Primogenitor],

Death of Fulgur the [Celestial of Lightning],

Death of Savitar the [Celestial of Speed],

Death of Lux the [Celestial of Light],

Astronomer the [Celestial of Space] (MIA),

Kronos the [Celestial of Time] (Severe Injuries),

Gaia the [Celestial of Life] (Severe-Fatal Injuries).

This event previously called as the [Universal War], a front with the purpose of defeating The Beyonder.

Through the deaths of quadrillions, the extinction of multiple species, the deaths of almost all [Titled Ones], and the deaths of almost half of the Celestials which were regarded as the mightiest beings of the Universe.....the event had a new name...the [Massacre of The Ancients].

The Beyonder defeated them all.....no he dominated them with his unprecedented power from outside the Universe...with just one war, over half the population of the Cosmos were killed....was this truly the end for them.....

The Beyonder was not fully satisfied from his victory as he wasn't able to kill all of the Celestials.

He knew that the Will of the Universe is protected by the [Barriers of Law] with each barriers representing the life of a Celestial.

Once all of the Celestials were killed, the [Barriers of Law] would fully dissipate and allow him to either absorb the Will of the Universe to gain unprecedented power or destroy it, killing all of the respective Universe's inhabitants.

However...just as The Beyonder was about to unleash hell throughout the Cosmos to kill the remaining Celestials...the Will of the Universe finally acted...

The Will of the Universe manifested in the form of light, shaped as a humanoid. When it assessed The Beyonder's power, it knew it wouldn't be able to defeat it.

To be able to enter a Universe from the outside its boundary without the permission of its Will, an individual must be at least powerful than a Universe.

The Universe was still pretty young and isn't as strong as mature Universes. So when comparing how The Beyonder entered the Univetse, the manifestation realized that it and The Beyonder was equal in power except for the Beyonder having slightly higher attack output.

It couldn't implore the help of the Celestials and the Ancient Species as they were already in dire straits and it also couldn't fight it head on as it would grealty risk the integrity of the Universe, meaning it might get destroyed in the process.

So after iniatiating a meeting betwen the Celestials and the remaining Supremes of the Ancient Species...a plan was created.

No one knows exactly what the plan contains but what we do know is that.....The Will of the Universe trapped The Beyonder in a hidden dimension.

The reason why such information is known is because of what happened after.

A prophecy was spread throughout the Cosmos by an unknown individual.....

"In a million years, long after the Ancient Era. The Archenemy will return to wreak havoc throughout the Cosmic Sky. The Cosmos will burn and cry for help just to be ignored as all help have already been killed by his hand...and finally.....at the last bastion of the Cosmos.....a selfless act shall bring forth a hero to save us all...."
