573 The Might Of A High God
The distance that separated the two forces was more than a hundred thousand miles in length, effectively making this area the entire field of battle.
That distance could be crossed in a few seconds, and in a short while, it was filled with a vast amount of creatures of all shapes and sizes, as if spewed from the mouths of hell.
Entire armies grown, nurtured, and sustained by the gods for countless ages were brought forward. These armies were meant to spread their glorious names to all of creation, but now they were to do something equally as important...it was to fight for their gods.
The arrival of the Spirit Matrix Gate had destroyed more than eighty percent of the forces of the gods inside their Divine Kingdom, but without holding back on their Divine Essence, a fresh batch was created, exceeding the previous amounts every god had gathered.
The Cerulean Gods were going all out and were no longer thinking about their foundation, this was a threat to their very existence and every hidden weapon was taken out. There was no concern about maintaining a balanced power structure, and every god was free to unleash all the taboo powers they had collected over their long years.
The appearance of so many mystical energies was changing reality, spreading toward the worlds and stars for billions of miles, leading to the death of countless lives.
If this war did not end in time, the toll on mortal life would be catastrophic.
Perhaps if Rowan had experienced more time as a mortal, this death toll would have ravaged his mind, shattering his sanity, but this was a war between immortals, and such concerns were far from their radar.
Every mortal life could be replaced in a blink of an eye. What if it took millions or even billions of years? It was all the same, they all came from dust, and to dust they shall return.
Suriel led the charge, and the three Archangels followed behind, before them appeared an army of hellish proportions, as billions of life forms appeared accompanied by the flashes of light from dozens of Divine Gates opening to their full sizes.
The first creature that stepped out was non-assuming, it resembled a middle-aged man wearing rustic clothes like a villager, but that ended when he suddenly opened his mouth and shrieked like a demented crow.
His mouth stretched open until it reached his ears, and his jaws split open to the side, peeling back until his chest, revealing a cavernous maw filled with hundreds of shark-like teeth, there were many throbbing tubes and veins inside this hellish mouth, and the most terrifying detail here was that the power emanating from his body was nearing those of a Minor god!
Behind him another woman stepped through, similar in appearance to the man, and soon thousands, and then tens of thousands of these creatures stepped forth, holding the shapes of men, women, and children.
All of them with the power of Minor gods or close to it!

If the Cerulean gods thought for a moment that their armies of billions would be able to delay these golden giants then they were wrong.
They were barely delayed, as each of them wrapped their bodies in their Celestial flames which originated from their hearts. Every heart of an Archangel was a Celestial Sun, providing them energies that dwarfed those of the gods by an order of magnitudes.
These flames when fed with enough energy burned with so much heat and light they could directly create holes in space. With a flap of their wings, the Archangels immediately reached light speeds, and like a beam of destruction, they pierced through the billions of creatures in front of them.
Their celestial flames were highly combustible, and although the Archangels moved in a straight line, leaving a long trail of destruction behind them, their flames did not stop spreading from that point.
The four lines of celestial fire they left behind began to spread like a blanket, and in mere seconds it rolled so fast through the ranks of beasts and sentient warriors of the gods, turning them all to ashes, and not stopping there until even the ashes were gone.
