Chapter 30: Rise of Dark Apostles
The Divine Triad's forces had grown stronger over time, and among the most fearsome and mysterious of their ranks were the Dark Apostles. Born from primordial darkness, the Dark Apostles were a force unlike any other. While their counterparts, the Apostles of God, were exclusively male and incapable of reproduction, the Dark Apostles were both male and female, giving them an edge in numbers that would only grow stronger with time.
In the beginning, the Dark Apostles numbered in the hundreds of thousands, but with their unique ability to reproduce, their numbers soon swelled into the millions. These dark beings, with bat-like wings and cat-like eyes, bore the ancient power of primordial darkness within them, and they wielded the trisulas with an unmatched ferocity. They were a perfect complement to the Apostles of God, acting as guardians of the rear lines and protectors of the realms.
Unlike the Apostles of God, who were unwavering in their devotion to their divine purpose, the Dark Apostles had a complex society within their ranks. They married, created families, and established a hierarchy based on power and loyalty. These marriages, both strategic and personal, led to the rapid expansion of their numbers. The offspring of these unions inherited the powers of their parents, making the next generation of Dark Apostles even more potent than their forebears.
The Dark Apostles were relentless, driven by an unyielding will to protect the will of the Absolute Humanoid Being, Sung Jin-Woo, and his Divine Triad. Their unshakable loyalty was matched only by their strength. The rise of the Dark Apostles was not just a testament to their power, but also to the unbreakable bond between the Divine Triad and their legions.
With millions of Dark Apostles now at their disposal, the Triad's forces became nearly unstoppable. The shadowy ranks of the Dark Apostles swarmed the battlefield, creating an overwhelming tide of darkness that crushed all who stood in their way. Their ability to reproduce and multiply ensured that they would remain a central part of the Divine Triad's forces for generations to come.
The war for the multiverse had entered a new phase, and with the rise of the Dark Apostles, no realm was safe from the encroaching might of the Absolute Humanoid Being and his divine army.
