Chapter 259 - XXIX Refugees

On the next day, Elijah was preparing to leave when the tree-colored bird and the lion stopped him.

"Oh, we forgot to tell you to be careful when you advance. Me and my friend spotted a pretty suspicious person heading in the same direction."

"I remember too! That winged-person, there was really something like this. It was a one, two, three..."

The lion interrupted his friend, his tone was a little tired. "It happened seven days ago." 

"Seven days ago..." Elijah pondered. It was probable the cosmic heart has realized his intentions by now and sent some of his forces to interrupt me. 

"I see. It is time for me to depart." Hanging his hammer on his waist, Elijah stored everything back into his phone and left while leaving a few gifts to the two divine beasts. 

"Ell, should we make a plan first? It seems we will have a hard battle when we arrive there."

"I know."

....

Void Territory ten kilometers above the sky in the surroundings of Eternia.

Countless dark points, in the tens of millions approached from far away advancing on small villages and cities from both sky and land, surrounding the region around the void territory cities.

The situation was really bad, with the prime beasts surrounding the cities, it cut off most of the essential supplies for the refugees who needed it, it had been more than three days since the last group of refugees had arrived and they most believe it would be impossible with the huge numbers of beasts in the border of the territory and cities.

With both the main universe and the celestial world facing the long awaited calamity, gods, immortals and saints all over the place turned to their former enemy, the eight royal families of the abyss. 

In the center of Eternia, a huge spatial gate leading to one of the main worlds in the abyss, Astaris, and a gigantic flood of people headed into the gate as the void clan's tenth and eleventh-step experts guided those who needed into the gate. The huge amount of people led by two peak tenth-realm experts on land, the caravan was full of cultivators and the relatives of celestial beings who were being evacuated to the abyss. 

On top of the void palace's tower at the highest point of the city, Yawen, Cassie, Aina and the others were watching everything from above.

"Things are looking pretty bad." Cassie held little Elliot in her arms who happily chewed on a large cheese bread Yawen had the kitchen bake for him. Feeling the melancholic atmosphere in the room, mainly from Yawen and Aina.

Sarina, Yawen's other body had left the celestial world and went to the base Elijah and she prepared in the Ancestral Spirit Cosmic Realm to check on Elijah's parents and those they sent there for protection.

"Mom, Aina, you two shouldn't be standing like this. I sure that old geezer is fine, he has more than a couple hundred years of experience together with what he inherited from the origin race. He has become much more than the naive child from before."

"I fully understand. My worries are something else." Yawen kept silent, she wasn't worried about Elijah. If what they knew was right, then it could be said this war's end had long been written. What bothered her was how high the price for victory be.

Suddenly a servant of the family opened the door from where a small group of six entered the room.

"Your highness, the forces of your fiance, the trinity society has arrived." Said the servant in the front while the other ten behind her saluted Yawen with reverence. They were the greatest experts of Elijah's Trinity Society, the devil emperor and the kings Elijah purified. Since the purification, both the Devil Lord and her subordinates had changed, becoming deities. And knowing their master's relation with this princess who was the same person as that golden-haired beauty they met before, all of them sighed with admiration for their master.

"Ma'am, we all heard about the current situation and we decided to come here and help." The leader of the group of ten, a six-armed woman dressed in heavy armor knelt down.

Yawen turned around to see their faces, then she turned to the leader after inspecting the others behind her. "May I know the amount of forces you managed to bring with you?"

"Yes! Other than a small unit of six minor gods we left to protect our people, there are seventy origin masters with cultivation comparable to the peak of the eight realms, but they easily face those on the ninth-realm and ninth-realm peak, a seventeen fake immortals which have all refined their own origins. Seven minor gods and true immortals, two great immortals and one higher god which is me.

"Good, go find my father and have him incorporate you in the allied forces." Yawen explained most of the details and things they won't be able to know without her before having the servant guide them away.

At the same time, this same situation repeated in the eight royal family's territories in the celestial world. Since Elijah left Eternia, the prime king has become more apparent and stared to openly march into celestial factions and slaughtering them. 

Powerful gods known in both the celestial world and the main cosmic realm have felt like Anubis, the god of the divine clan known for protecting the deserts in several thousand worlds. He wandered through the deserts of different worlds, guiding those who met their end in this vast and desolate place in the afterlife. 

While all the factions of different territories allied themselves, the situation in the universe was even worse. Loki managed to survive the Ragnarok and headed to the enemy forces together with the traitor Apolo and together with the other experts fighting for the prime king and his master, they are invading the high-rank worlds and wiping out any powerful cultivators.

Those in the celestial world knew of this from their contacts, luckily a strange phenomenon happened where all the laws and energy in the main universe stopped working and what should be a world-shaking war between divine beings turned into a mortal war. 

The forces of the prime king surrounded the cities and blocked the border between the territories. There were so many beasts that those in Eternia could even see through that mass of thin dots in the distance.

Bang... Boom!

Suddenly a flash of light in the distance followed by a huge explosion disintegrated a couple of the black dots to the surprise of the Void King and the others waiting in the city.

"What is that? Someone has broken their formation."

"It looks like a group of refugees, wait, there is something strange with the one in the front." Far away, a group of a dozen cultivators mounted on eight-legged beasts used the opening to break into the territory.

"It worked!" The cultivators in the beasts celebrated when seeing their plan worked. They all were staring at the leader in the front.

A female in a set of shiny silver armor, a metallic lion head with two bright green eyes. Green lines and runic patterns covered all the parts of the armor, but its belt was the most attractive part. The two sides of the belt were opened like a gate while a bright green gemstone rested on the slot in the middle.

Intense energy and laws overflowed in that jewel which any one of the gods watching from afar could see it was the core of the armor.

However, even if they succeed in reaching the territory, the beasts wouldn't let them escape that easily. Silver-eyed beasts locked on the group in the beast and launched their attacks, but the women in the left her eight-legged beast as the group moved forward.

Leaving only her behind, Alena crossed her hands, while its runic patterns engraved on the gauntlets lit with a blinding light.

"This power..." The instruction were transmitted into her mind, but even so it was scary the amount of power she felt at that moment. The beast eyes of the helmet also lit up, her left hand, then moved and pressed a green trigger in the belt.

Origin of Wind's Limit Break: Dimensional Storm!

In a split second, all the attacks aimed at her vanished when a couple thousand bright green blades of wind was shot forward.

SHIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRL

The sounds of rippling wind and the spatial laws breaking were heard when several spatial cracks slashed open by the wind blades devoured all the attacks and most of the beasts around her. The light on the belt also dimmed a lot and not much light was left.

"!!!" Seeing her last origin was nearly empty, the expression being the helmed turned grave. The light in the gemstone was then all transferred into the gems on the back of the armor where a pair of light green wings appeared as the woman gave a last look at the nearly infinite amount of beasts coming closer before she vanished in a flash.

By the time both the last refugees and Alena could arrive in the city, cracks appeared in the wings and armor a second before it broke revealing her true face. The celestial expert of the void clan came to ask her what happened, but the lady only stared at the mount of dust in the ground which she belts turned into the moment she arrived.

She smiled wryly, she was just starting to get used to all that power, but it was clear that the man had prepared everything. Sighing deeply, she explained to the man of the void clan and as expected the moment he heard the name Ryn, his and the expression of the few around him turned strange, then bright smiles appeared on their old faces, then they helped her and the others who accompanied her to settle into comfortable quarters before they could be sent into the abyss.
