Ascension of the Nephilim



The three beings that surpassed Celestial could shatter worlds and planets. But the Planesworld was special. Unlike any other Yggdrasil, this was a tree planted by Dentro. But it was only now that the three finally understood what this Yggdrasil was. It was the body of Dentro himself!

The attack slammed on the three who were waging war and had to use a powerful attack to resist the barrier of the Yggdrasil. This barrier had troubled the gods and fallen even during the Heretic Wars.

The attack slammed on the three entities, who began to fall into the Planesworld with grave injuries.

Everyone from the Highlands to the Netherlands could feel the air tremble. Powers and strange cataclysmic events began to occur around the Planesworld.

Oceans created storms and whirlpools. Volcanoes erupted, and earthquakes around the world began. Strange anomalies began to occur all over as Codes and Corruption were damaged.

Destiny saw the three fall and was shocked at it. But the workings of Fate were quickly moving.

"That bitch!" Destiny cursed as he saw the wound, and the future visions of their deaths were quickly shown.

The death of the three would add a severe blow to the plans to conquer, and even End was displeased.

It was one thing when the mortal champions of Destiny died. It was another when a God or Fallen would be wounded! And this time, three had fallen!

"The Nephilim and Fate have tricked us with this scheme. But not to worry. The End has been set. My curse lies within the Nephilim. His End will come soon." End answered as he watched from the end of time.

Destiny hurried to arrange the future.

"Oh, don't worry about that! I can help you!" Then, a young boy appeared and laughed.

"Three fallen gods... Get it? Fallen Gods?" The young boy laughed.

"How is this good, Folly?"

"Oh, relax, Destiny! This only means my power is ready to work! The Greater Gods are bound to do something foolish! The Celestial Code appears, and three powers are weakened! It's about time for us to clear out several Greater or even an Ancient God from the armies of Beginning!" Folly laughed.

"You want to turn the era of Middle to include God and Fallen?" Destiny frowned.

"It's the foolish thing to do! But I'm sure you can find a way, old man Destiny!" Folly laughed.

"Besides... Fate did a number on you now. Look at the victories in the Planesworld. Many unnatural calamities have happened because of the wounds those three received. And these calamities are giving Fate's team an advantage! You have to go for gold and not remain the cautious gambler!"

"Right... And I have to take advice from Folly!"

"It ain't folly if you know the End!" Folly laughed.

Destiny smirked as he heard Folly's answer and began to see through the many possibilities and started to work and prepare for the battle.

Down on earth, the cataclysms and changes in the world caused a trembling in the misty mountain regions.

Branze and the rest were rushing towards the direction where they sensed the Celestial Code call them.

The group flew towards the peak of a mountain, but then the mist began to clear out for unknown reasons caused by a raging wind that suddenly blew.

As the group flew up, the strong wind swept them down, and they all fell into a crater at the center of the mountains.

But even as they were being blown helplessly by the wind, the group did not panic.

"...Fate?" Branze was confused as to how Fate was able to summon a gust of wind that pushed them out.

"Is it Pneuma? The Goddess that Kyros spoke of?" Faye wondered.

The group fell into the mountain as the power of Unholy was clearly shown. It was no longer a mist but a vast blanket of aurora that covered the mountain.

"It's the source of the Unholy! Dardiel is where the Unholy power comes from!" Mezal could sense many cries of the souls calling out.

"If Undead is the power to reanimate the dead, this is the raw form of Unholy! The power that reanimates life!"

The group fell into what appeared to be an ocean of aurora, and power began to pull them. The team felt as if they were swimming in a mighty ocean current.

They traveled with great speed, falling deeper and deeper into the mountain.

"We're about to crash! Emberdons! Cushion our fall!" Branze ordered, and the Emberdons began to harness great wind energy together.

A few seconds later, they fell from the underground tunnel and into a wide open dome where the light was bright.

They saw themselves falling into a land with thick, tall grass.

"[Wind Bed]!" The Emberdons chanted together, and a soft, repelling cushion of wind was formed that broke their speedy fall.

THUD!

The group fell to the ground and into the thick and tall grass.

"Where are we?" Diana was the first to stand and glance around the area.

It was a wide and massive grassland, and it looked like there was a blue, bright sky above them instead of a mountain.

"The aurora of energy is covering this place! This entire garden is grown by... Unholy?!" Triona marveled as she looked around.

"This is one of the reasons why the Planesworld refuses to die out, even though Impyernos, the Eternal Fire, wanted to burn it down eons ago." A voice was heard, and a handsome man with three colored gems, one on his forehead and two on each of his forearms, spoke.

He had green and red hair and was seated on a strange rock at the side. His body was glowing with a faint golden glow.

"Greater God Daradiel!" Branze called out.

Everyone else bowed as they saw the man.

"Hm? The boy who spoke to me a while back isn't among you. I guess you must be that boy's allies! Two sons of Steel, a daughter of Katara. And it seems that Astra has found new descendants. To think these old Codes and that Corruption would appear. These were legends even among us gods, you know?" Daradiel smiled.

"Greater God, we come to you in a most urgent matter. Surely, you have sensed the commotion above! War is coming. The Era of Middle is approaching. And this is not just the petty squabble between the Greater Gods and the Ancient Gods! This is a battle between Beginning and End! That boy you saw is the Nephilim, and we are called to fight with him!"

Dardiel's expression changed as he heard the words of the group.

"The legend of the Nephilim and the coming war is true? I see. Now I understand what Fate was playing at..." Daradiel spoke.

"I have sensed the war above and could feel the changes happening. The Planesworld lost its barrier. And now, the Eldrich race that tried to burn down this tree in ages past is preparing to return. A full invasion is expected."

"We have sought your power in this moment of need! We need the power to fight armies."

"It's not just armies. Impyernos, Sheolrah, and Thessalah has fallen here. My friends, if what you say is true, then your battle is going to force you to fight these beings! The Midlands will now change. Despite being wounded, I can sense Impyernos breaking the curse of the Planesworld that will limit the entry of Conquerors in this land. Is the Nephilim ready for that?" Daradiel quickly questioned.

"No," Branze answered immediately.

"Our current might could reach the levels of Crowns. But if Conquerors of Destiny appear, then we will surely die."

"Then borrowing my power is not enough. You will need to stop Sheolrah and Impyernos."

"Greater God, you misunderstand. Our goal here, while we desire to acquire your powers, was not to just claim it; we are here to revive you!"

"Revive me? I'm pretty sure mortals like you have no means to help me recover. This entire abode of Unholy power was a pleasant surprise that Fate prepared for the preservation of the Yggdrasil that you call the Planesworld and for me to stay alive. In truth, I should be dead. The source of Unholy is from an unknown God and keeps me alive here. But even its powers are fading!"

"Then we shall bring you more light! Emberdons!"

The Emberdons were already in formation as they had spread out in the wide open space nearby. Their staves struck the ground, and the power of Astra appeared.

"[North Star]!" The five activated and created a guiding star to appear above them.

A faint crown appeared over them as their combined power could now create star energy.

Daradiel was amazed and impressed at the power but could not understand why they did this.

"Guide the way and bring the Fortress here! Let the light of the North Star guide the Nehpilim Sealing Fortress in its exodus from the seals that bind it! Remote teleportation spell! [Astra: Methistemi]!"

A powerful light exploded out as the power of Astra was summoned again.

A massive towering castle began to appear from the ground and created a fortress.

The Nephilim Sealing Fortress has been transferred into the mysterious Unholy garden!
