Chapter 6: The Rise of the Celestial Legions
From the divine throne within the Godverse of his first inner multiverse, Elliot cast his golden gaze upon the countless universes that thrived beneath his will. He had built creation upon creation, sculpting realms of infinite possibility, but now, he turned his focus to something else—the guardianship of his vast dominion. Creation, though peaceful, required stewards, emissaries, and forces of power to uphold its balance. With his will, he summoned forth the celestial legions.
The Birth of the Celestial Armies
Elliot extended his hand over the multiverse, calling upon the boundless divine energy that pulsed through the God Tree, whose roots stretched into all things. From the radiant fruits of this great tree, golden light erupted in magnificent arcs, shaping into celestial beings of pure brilliance. These were the Angels, centillions in number, their wings shimmering in hues of silver, gold, and pure light. Some bore two wings, others four, and the most exalted among them bore six, denoting their higher power and status.
Each angel was born with innate knowledge of the divine order, their purpose etched into their very essence. They spread across the universes, protecting the sacred Divine Trees planted across different realms. Each Divine Tree, a lesser sapling of the God Tree, bore fruits that birthed Lesser Angels, beings of devotion who safeguarded the celestial balance.
Yet, Elliot knew that angels alone were not enough. He required warriors—unstoppable and unshakable forces of divine might.
The Creation of the Celestial Warriors and Dragons
Beneath the God Tree, where divine metals formed the bedrock of existence, Elliot willed the silver-white essence of mithril to rise. From this sacred metal, infused with the essence of his boundless will, emerged the Celestial Armies—unbreakable warriors forged from divine mithril. Their armor gleamed like moonlight, their eyes shone with golden resolve, and in their hands, they wielded massive halberds and spears infused with the breath of the heavens.
Alongside them, Elliot reached deep into the molten core of creation, summoning forth red lava, imbued with the primal force of fire and chaos. From this burning essence, he shaped the Dragon Armies, centillions of massive, scaled creatures whose roars shook the fabric of the multiverse. Their bodies, formed from flowing magma, pulsed with immense power, and their wings carried them through the skies of countless realms like streaks of living flame. They were beings of awe and terror, their mere presence enough to command respect and obedience.
The Apostles: Champions of Light and Shadow
Even with his celestial armies and dragons, Elliot sought beings that transcended mere battle. He needed apostles, divine emissaries of power and wisdom, who would act as higher stewards of his will. From pure light, he formed the Apostles of God—figures of radiant glory with twelve majestic wings, their auras so brilliant they illuminated the cosmos itself. Their forms were sculpted from sacred luminescence, and they bore wisdom greater than any angel, their presence commanding awe among all creation.
Yet Elliot knew that creation was balanced in duality. Light alone could not govern all things. From the shadowy darkness, he shaped the Dark Apostles, their twelve wings veiled in black mist, their eyes gleaming with the knowledge of the unseen. Though bathed in darkness, they were not evil. Instead, they were the keepers of hidden truths, watchers in the void, guiding the cosmos from the obscured corners where light could not reach.
The Apostles of God and the Dark Apostles took their place in the Heavenly Realm, a newly created universe positioned above the seven heavens, yet still beneath the God Tree. There, they resided as the supreme leaders of the celestial forces, acting as governors of the divine order.
The Heavenly Realm and Its Soldiers
To sustain the Heavenly Realm, Elliot planted yet another Divine Tree within it. This tree, though lesser than the God Tree, bore fruit of immense power. From these fruits, Elliot brought forth Heavenly Soldiers, a race of divine warriors with two to four wings, clad in silver armor with golden masks. Unlike angels, who were embodiments of divine law, the Heavenly Soldiers were warriors first and foremost. They wielded greatswords and spears, standing ever-vigilant, ready for battle at a moment's notice.
Their sole duty was to protect the Heavenly Realm and its divine rulers, ensuring that the hierarchy of creation remained unshaken. Unlike angels, who spread across the multiverse as guardians, the Heavenly Soldiers remained in the Heavenly Realm, forming an unbreakable defense against any unknown force that might one day rise.
The Divine Hierarchy
With the completion of his celestial legions, Elliot finalized the divine order of his forces:
Apostles of God and Dark Apostles – The supreme rulers of divine forces, possessing twelve wings and unparalleled wisdom.Angels – Born from the God Tree, with two to six wings, serving as messengers and protectors of divine law.Celestial Armies – Warriors of divine mithril, unbreakable and resolute in their charge.Dragon Armies – Living titans of molten lava, unmatched in raw destructive power.Heavenly Soldiers – Born from the Divine Tree in the Heavenly Realm, serving as the primary combatants and enforcers of divine will.Lesser Angels – Born from Divine Trees scattered across the multiverse, minor guardians who upheld the balance of creation.
With his hierarchy set, Elliot gazed upon his creation, satisfied with the order he had imposed. His forces were vast beyond comprehension, a divine army spanning countless universes, eternally prepared for any eventuality.
But Elliot was not finished. His journey had only begun.
The next phase of his grand design loomed before him—the birth of the races that would inhabit his infinite worlds. And so, he turned his gaze once more to the multiverse, ready to breathe life into the cosmos once more.
The Multiversal Expansion of Divine Legions
Elliot stood upon his throne in the Godverse, his radiant golden eyes gazing upon the vastness of the first inner multiverse. His form had changed—his sixty invisible wings symbolized his evolution, his divine jewels radiated boundless energy, and his presence exuded limitless authority. Yet, his work was far from over.
The celestial legions he had forged—the Apostles of God, the Dark Apostles, the Angels, the Celestial Armies, the Dragon Armies, the Heavenly Soldiers, and the Lesser Angels—stood as the guardians and enforcers of divine order. But they existed only in the first inner multiverse. Billions more inner multiverses awaited their own celestial hierarchies.
The Mirrored Creation
With a thought, Elliot's will stretched across the billions of inner multiverses he had created. Each inner multiverse was a reflection of the first, with its own seven-layered heavens, seven-layered earths, a boundless cosmos of millions of universes, and at its core, the God Tree, whose roots and branches intertwined through all existence. Above the God Tree, the endless ocean shimmered, and beyond it, the Godverse, the divine sanctuary where Elliot's supreme throne resided.
He raised his hand, and his command echoed through eternity.
"Let every multiverse bear my legions. Let every realm know the might of my creations."
Instantly, the process of divine creation unfolded across the endless expanse of his inner worlds.
Apostles of God and Dark Apostles
In each Heavenly Realm Universe, the highest realm beneath the God Tree, Elliot willed into existence millions of Apostles of God and millions of Dark Apostles. These beings were formed directly from pure light and primordial darkness, unlike the angels born from the fruits of the God Tree.
Apostles of God radiated brilliance, their twelve-winged forms glowing like miniature suns. They were enforcers of divine will, wielding weapons forged from holy light and celestial fire.Dark Apostles, on the other hand, were majestic yet ominous, their twelve wings woven from living shadows. They were the hidden hand of creation, the silent watchers in the abyss, enforcing Elliot's dominion in ways unseen.
Together, these apostles stood above the celestial armies, their power second only to Elliot himself.
The Birth of New Angels
Each inner multiverse's God Tree bore centillions of divine fruits, and from these fruits, new angels were born.
Some angels had six wings, embodying the highest ranks beneath the apostles.Others had four or two wings, serving as messengers and protectors of the divine order.Each angelic host descended to their assigned universes, guiding their realms with wisdom and strength.
Wherever a God Tree stood, divine angels would flourish.
The Celestial and Dragon Armies
From the mithril of the celestial forges, Elliot breathed life into centillions of Celestial Armies. Their silver-clad bodies shone like constellations, their weapons infused with divine power. Unwavering, they stood ready for the defense of the multiverse.
From rivers of red lava, centillions of dragons emerged, their scales gleaming like molten fire. Some dragons took to the skies, their wings spreading across the firmament, while others slumbered beneath the worlds, waiting for the call of battle.
With these armies, every multiverse held an unbreakable force of divine might.
The Heavenly Realm and its Soldiers
Within every Heavenly Realm, Elliot planted Divine Trees, separate from the great God Tree. From their fruits, a new race arose—Heavenly Soldiers, clad in silver armor with golden helmets, wielding greatswords and spears.
These warriors were tasked with guarding the Divine Tree, the Heavenly Realm, and the apostles. Though less powerful than the angels, they were still divine warriors, steadfast and eternal.
Lesser Angels Across the Cosmos
Throughout each inner multiverse, the Divine Trees of countless worlds bore fruit. From them, Lesser Angels emerged, acting as the guardians of lesser realms and distant universes. Though not as mighty as their higher-ranked brethren, they carried out Elliot's divine will across the infinite expanse.
Completion: The Fully Realized Inner Multiverses
As Elliot's command reached every corner of his divine domain, all billions of inner multiverses became fully populated with celestial hierarchies.
Every God Tree bore angels.Every Divine Tree bore Heavenly Soldiers.Every Heavenly Realm housed Apostles of God and Dark Apostles.Every multiverse contained Celestial and Dragon Armies.Every universe had protectors, overseers, and divine order.
Elliot, standing above the vast Godverse, gazed upon his infinite creation. A cosmos of limitless divine realms, all ruled under his supreme authority.
For a moment, he let the silence wash over him.
He had done it. He had created a true, infinite multiverse of divine power.
And yet, this was only the beginning.
What would come next?
Would he ascend even further?
Would new beings arise beyond even his imagination?
Elliot smiled.
There was still so much more to create.
