Chapter 169: The Celestial Of Chaos!
While the world celebrated or dreaded his ascension, Draco was currently observing the changes that happened to him, or rather his Origin Law.
The nine stars that surrounded it started swirling around it at progressively increasing speed, The aura-shaped Origin Law deep within his very existence had its multicolored particles swirl following the stars and this continued on until the very shape of the law started changing.
It's aura-like shape got a hole in the middle, and what remained started spinning at frightening speed. The stars that were just swirling around began to attach themselves to it and the particles following them continued on their tour until they slapped themselves on the final shape of the origin law.
"Hmm, interesting." Draco, looking at what remained on his Origin Law's place, was intrigued.
"A crown? Fitting indeed." His intrigue changed into a smile.
The previous form of the origin law changed into a crown with 9 spikes, its color abyssal, and on its body, streaks of multiple colors styled it into a wonder.
Draco felt that he could summon it at any time and put it on his head, but there was no time for that right now.
He looked up. The white room of the tower opened its roof, allowing a wonderful starry sky to appear. Whatever the top floor was, Draco guessed it was where the Celestials lived.
Floating slowly until he was inside the celestial's realm, he looked around, and what welcomed him were multiple figures.
"Hmm? I can't see through you anymore; isn't that quite progress? Tsk, tsk, just yesterday you were nothing but a goblin bastard." The first to talk was a goofy looking middle-aged man.
His hair and beard were messy; he was wearing nothing but a tank top and some regular beach shorts with flower patterns and sandals.
"It's nice to meet you, Celestial of Truth." Draco nodded when he faced the old man.
"Oh? You know of me? That's surprising, hahahaha." The celestial was surprised as he raised an eyebrow and then laughed heartily.
"Yes, fate has told me many things about you." Draco replied.
"Fate, huh?" As if he were reminded of some bad memories, Truth's goofy appearance quickly became serious.
"If you'll excuse me for a second." Truth said before he vanished.
"Oh wow, to be able to tell Truth to react like that not even two minutes after ascending, no wonder everybody is wary of you." A voice echoed out, its tone soft and comforting. Draco turned to look at the source and what he saw made him surprised.
"Devania?" he asked, unsure if he was right or not.
"Tis me." The celestial nodded in pride.
"So the Celestial of Love was playing around in Portalia all along, huh?" Draco spoke his thoughts, surprising Devania with his words.
"So you knew?" she asked to confirm.
"Not too long ago. I wasn't sure, though." Draco replied.
"Well, that's no fun, and here I am preparing a surprise for the man who managed to defeat me." She spoke playfully, winking at Draco while saying her last words.
"A surprise? Was this the surprise you're talking about?" Draco asked to confirm.
"Hehe, no. You will know when it's time, so don't worry about it." She replied with a sweet smile.
"Well, I guess your son would be the most surprised." Draco said.
"That's for sure." Devania replied with anticipation. The look on her son's face would be so funny to look at.
"So..." Draco then shifted his gaze to the remaining Celestials gathered around here.
There were 4 celestials in total here to welcome Draco: The Celestial of Truth, Love, Life, and Night.
"Night, right? Have I done something to deserve that glare?" Draco asked with a polite smile.
"Tsk, don't act all haughty, kid. Let me give you the first and last advice, If you do something, do it in silence; the last thing you want is attention." Saying this, Night disappeared like Truth, leaving only Life and Love with Draco.
"Don't mind him, my child. He's always been like this." Life, who was like the big sister of the bunch, spoke.
"I know, Miss Life. Fate has told me everything." Draco, who was still looking at the position, turned to look at the last celestial and smiled politely.
"I see. It seems you had a good relationship with fate. Unfortunately... he's no longer with us." Life looked down, remembering what a kind soul Fate was.
"It indeed is unfortunate, but, there are some things we have no control over." Love spoke, trying to calm down the atmosphere.
"Alright, Draco. We'll be waiting for the other two to arrive before we inform you of the latest news, what you have to do, and what you need to know." Love announced.
"Very well." Draco nodded.
"Don't worry, time passes differently within this realm. They could arrive at any time now." Life said.
Hearing this, Draco decided to use this chance to look around.
From what he knew, there were a few other celestials he had yet to meet right now. Since authorities were unique to a world, there could only be a single celestial ruling over an authority at a time, but this didn't stop a world from having even hundreds of celestials.
That would have been the truth if Portalia wasn't in danger and under constant oppression from the Anti-Celestials. Currently, aside from the four Draco just met and he himself, there are only a few other celestials within this realm.
Namely, Time, Forest, Earth, Causality, Opportunity, and Darkness.
If we added Alexander and Leona to the bunch there would be a total of 13 celestials. Was this good news? No, it was completely bad news. The anti-celestials didn't allow Portalia to have more than 10 celestials at a time, and this meant that there will be another banishment soon.
Would there be an exception this time? Or would they once again be reminded of the oppression and freedom they lost to the anti-celestials?
