Chapter 209 - I Space-Time Gate

A man who saw Elijah's surprised expression turned to him and explained.

"It is your first time here? This is the most precious treasure of the time palace. The space-time gate, it can send countless people through time and space. It is with it that we've been able to secure our position here, this time it will be used  to open the gate to a random time and space."

"Wait." Elijah interrupted, then continued. "It is not dangerous to mess with the timeline?"

"Haha. You are not wrong, but I guess you can't  understand the true valor of the gate. You can go to anytime, anywhere and all the changes can be reverted to continue the right course. The gate could do even more, but  it depends on the affinity with the user. No one besides the palace head had more than 50% compatibility with the gate, thus only being able to unleash up to 50% of it's true potential." 

"Wait, did you know the palace head?" Elijah who was looking at the gate remembered  something and turned his eyes to the man only to be started. It was the man wearing clothes made of a lion's fur.

"No much, but he was friendly enough with me which was scary if you think of his position. Well I never forget a face and you are the second celestial I don't recognize in years. This one here is named Heracles, from the planet earth." The man bowed respectfully and Elijah followed by doing the same.

"Elijah Branches, ruler of Peuh Star. The reason you have never seen is mainly because I'm not a celestial or at least I haven't faced the final tribulation before the ascension. Only my body and energy are at that level. What did you said about second? I thought there has been no new celestial in a while now."

"Not like that, there has been no mortal that ascended in a while. Humans have great reproductive ability, yet they lack the talent to break through the last barrier. Some human gods does not count because a few have been born from the faith of other humans. I heard a few years ago a mortal succeed in ascending, it happened in the chaotic space so no one know who this person is or from  which cosmic realm they came from. The only thing we know is that this person must have received help from a absurd level being because not even the most powerful celestials can open the passage to go there. It would take all of them together or with the use of artifacts like the space-time gate."

"Thanks sir. I think I understand a little more now." Elijah finally started to understand a little more of what he meant. It seems only the human and other mortal races have been without a new celestial.

"You can just call me Heracles. Look, the gate is about to open." Elijah continued his conversation with Heracles for a while, before the sound of drums echoes in their heads. The gate before the eyes of thousand celestials slowly opened revealing the infinite vortex of space and time. Then a figure clad in a multi-colored radiance appeared before he turned into a middle aged man.

"He is Aion, a deity of time. Some says he is a disciple of the palace master while other say he is in reality a divine beast that serves the palace head." Heracles transmitted his voice and Elijah nodded.

Aion stood there emotionless while staring at the countless celestial  beings before his eyes stopped on the figure of a golden-haired man standing next to a burly man in clothes made of lion fur, yet it was only for a split second before he turned his eyes away. "In the place of my master who is not here in the moment, me and a few other will host this time war."

"It is like he says." An elderly voice was transmitted into the minds of every single person as a old man wearing a simple white robe appeared not far from Aion.

"The gate is open. Everyone can enter now."

The thousands of celestial beings stepped into the vortex as their sucked into infinity. The moment Elijah stopped right before the vortex he could feel it's immense power. He could roughly guess who the palace master was, but he could not meet him even if he wanted to because if he was right then it was better for the two to not see each other.

"Here I go."Elijah stepped into the vortex and his surrounds changed in a way he could not explain. Suddenly he saw himself in the ruins of a city full of vampires then he stared at the window of a  house close to where he first appeared appeared only to see himself was a vampire. It was when a voice was transmitted into the minds of all the celestial beings.

[This the war of the endless night that happened in the world of Eaphonon, The Ivory Moon Expanse was invaded by seven princes and kings of night followed by their huge army.

The moment he saw this he understood it was like a game. Right now he was not Elijah Branches but Draven, the vampire prince. He was in the city of Baylight, one of the three thousand cities in Eaphonon, a world ruled by the Usekians. An Usek was a humanoid-type species with traces of wolven species. Their most marcant trace was the mercury-like fluid flowing in their veins. This fluid would give them inborn super-strength most mortal would never attain and an amazing regenerative bestow the ability to transform into a giant silver wolf every night when the three moon around the planet appear at the same time.

"Elijah, it is you right?" A figure covered by a dark robe appeared. It was a small and petite figure that made Elijah think of Earth's concept of trap.

Confused by this sudden appearance of this petite figure, he asked"You are?"

"It is me Heracles. It seems I have been spawned as your first general, Iris."The figure lowered the hood covering his head revealing a feminine face with a long purple hair and deep red eyes. Reaving his sharp teeth, he giggled in such a way that made Elijah feel cold in the spine. He didn't know if it was something vampires had, but he couldn't bear to continued staring at the face in front of him. 'I guess this is the beauty of loli?'

"Cover your face right now and stay like this until the end of the time war!"
