Celesterra was now thriving, its intricate systems and institutions working seamlessly under the guidance of Beerus's chosen generals. Each general—Alfa, Delta, Beta, and Sigma—was leading their respective divisions with unwavering dedication. Following Beerus's orders, they had summoned their former subordinates to join the Celesterra army. Each general's four direct lieutenants were highly capable, with their own specialized groups that excelled in espionage, magic, combat, or logistics.The military strength of Celesterra was unparalleled. The nation's army was composed of an impressive variety of races: ogres who had evolved into mighty kijin, powerful chimera warriors, dragons brimming with raw magical power, nimble kobolds, and even goblins who had grown stronger under Celesterra's influence. While other kingdoms remained ignorant of Celesterra's true might, Beerus's nation quietly became the strongest military force in the cardinal world.Beyond its military strength, Celesterra had begun forging alliances with various kingdoms. Its borders were opened to facilitate commerce, tourism, and cultural exchanges. Cities within Celesterra became bustling hubs of entertainment, trade, and innovation, drawing visitors from across the world. High-end restaurants and markets showcased the diverse cultures within Celesterra, solidifying its reputation as a nation of abundance and progress.Despite the nation's overwhelming power, Velzar approached Beerus one day with a curious question. "Why go through all of this, my Lord?" she asked. "With just a flick of your finger, you could create or destroy anything. Why build alliances, manage a military, or even allow trade? You are beyond these mortal concerns."Beerus, standing at the edge of a balcony overlooking Celesterra's capital, turned to her with a small, knowing smile. "You're right, Velzar. I could shape the world to my will in an instant. But if I do that, what then? I would be surrounded by egoless beings, mere machines following my commands without thought or purpose. A world like that would be hollow. People, especially those who are immortal or have long lifespans, need a sense of purpose. Without it, existence becomes meaningless. This way, they have goals to strive for, challenges to overcome, and lives to lead. That's how a world should be."Velzar tilted her head, intrigued by his words. "You think about these things deeply, my Lord. I understand now."
Their conversation brought Beerus to another realization. Velzar, his ever-loyal companion, had always been by his side, yet he had never assigned her a formal role or position. While the others were fulfilling their responsibilities, Velzar remained in her undefined place next to him. Beerus turned to her with a thoughtful expression.
"Velzar, what about you? You've always been by my side, but I've never asked—what do you want? Do you have any plans for now or the future?"Velzar's gaze softened, and she hesitated for a moment before speaking. "My Lord... To be honest, I haven't thought about any plans for myself. My only wish has always been to remain by your side. But since you're asking, I suppose there is something I want to tell you."
Beerus raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Go on."Velzar took a deep breath, her usual composed demeanor giving way to something more vulnerable. "I have feelings for you, my Lord. Deep feelings. I've always admired you, not just for your power but for your vision, your wisdom, and the way you carry yourself. I want to be more than just your subordinate. I want to be yours, if you'll have me."Her words hung in the air, surprising Beerus for a brief moment. He looked into her eyes, seeing the sincerity and courage it took for her to confess such feelings. A rare, genuine smile crossed his face as he considered her words. "Velzar... You've always been loyal and steadfast. I didn't expect this, but I respect your honesty. Let me think about this carefully."
Velzar nodded, her expression steady despite the vulnerability she had just shown. "Take all the time you need, my Lord. I'll continue to serve you, regardless of your decision."As Beerus returned his gaze to the bustling city below, he found himself contemplating her confession. For the first time in a long while, he felt a stir of something unfamiliar—something beyond his usual calculations and plans for Celesterra's future. This, he realized, was another facet of life that added meaning to existence, even for someone like him. (Some may be wondering why Velzar is talking to Beerus like she was his subordinate, well she did not have a choice. Even tho she is Veldanava sister, Beerus knew her character and he had to humble her i.e discipline her for her to understand that this a new era with a new ruler so this is are different).
Ramiris, the ever-energetic and curious Fairy Queen, decided to make Celesterra her new home. Enthralled by the vibrant nation Beerus had built, she approached him with a grand idea. "Beerus! I've been thinking... Celesterra is amazing, but what if we added something truly extraordinary? A massive labyrinth! Not just any labyrinth—a realm of endless possibilities where each floor is like its own city! We could make it unlike anything this world has ever seen!"
Beerus, intrigued by her enthusiasm and the potential of her idea, agreed. With his vast power, he offered her his full support to make the concept a reality. Together, they created a labyrinth spanning 100 floors.However, this wasn't an ordinary labyrinth—each floor was an entirely separate dimension, functioning like a unique city with its own culture, ecosystems, and inhabitants. Some floors mimicked bustling metropolises, others vast forests, and some resembled fantastical landscapes only imaginable in dreams.
To make the labyrinth accessible, special gates were placed throughout Celesterra, allowing citizens and visitors to traverse its depths freely. These gates became vital hubs, attracting adventurers, scholars, and merchants eager to explore the wonders hidden within the labyrinth.As an added layer of security and control, Beerus and Ramiris ensured the labyrinth was interwoven with Celesterra's defensive systems. The entire country was enveloped in a powerful, impenetrable barrier that no external force could break. Beyond mere physical defense, the barrier also served as an advanced detection system.Whoever entered Celesterra was instantly scanned by the barrier. Their identity, history, and intent—whether good or bad—were revealed. Beerus took this further by granting select subordinates, particularly those in key positions, the ability to sense intruders or individuals with malicious intentions. These subordinates could also identify anyone attempting to disrupt the peace or sow chaos within the nation.
This system made Celesterra a fortress of safety and harmony, an ideal land where law and order were absolute. No threat, no matter how cunning or powerful, could escape Beerus's omniscient gaze or the vigilance of his chosen generals.Ramiris, proud of her contribution, frequently boasted about the labyrinth. "This is the best thing ever, Beerus! People are going to talk about this for centuries! Just wait—Celesterra will be the center of the world!"
Beerus smirked at her enthusiasm. "You've done well, Ramiris. The labyrinth is an impressive addition. And with the barrier and detection system in place, Celesterra is truly untouchable. Now let's see how the world reacts to what we've built."The labyrinth became a cornerstone of Celesterra's cultural and economic identity. Adventurers from across the cardinal world traveled to test their strength, while scholars studied the dimensions for their unique properties. The labyrinth also became a training ground for Celesterra's military, allowing them to hone their skills in the most diverse and challenging environments imaginable.With Celesterra's defenses perfected, its military unmatched, and its people thriving in an unprecedented era of prosperity, Beerus stood at the pinnacle of creation. Yet, he knew this was just the beginning. The world would come to see Celesterra not just as a superpower but as the beacon of an entirely new age.
