Arc 2 Chapter 149 The Beginning Of A War

" We are going to war. I know you all have heard of it. Exiting rumors, spreading all over Ragthor and with it, a storm of emotions. Be it young or old, fear, excitement and worry of what's to come has creeped into the people of the pantheon. But do not fear, we will win! But we will not be merciless slaughters. I don't want a another soul to be destroyed, ever again, in this war! I don't care if it's for revenge. The people we fight, we fight not to kill. But to have them on our side. Trialing times are on their way and many will grow up faster that other's. You will watch your friends die and maybe watch them come to life. That is all I have to say! The leader did not wish for me to say anything more. I am Sxarty, just a old man, that was recently a celestial lord, that participated in the first battle." The new war hero of Ragthor said to the people of Ragthor. His words brought upon a new wave of excitement to the young, while quenching the worry of the old.

Millions of huge realms, filled to the brim with artillery. Giant cannons, missiles and things beyond mortal imagination. Not to mention the technology level on these things. The realms were filled to the brim with weapons and celestials. The celestial guarded the weapons with their lives. Their jobs were of the highest importance. They guard the inner realm of their pantheon. The realm where all members live, even the leader. The only way to get there was through the millions of huge realms in between guarded by quadrillions of peak celestials. The realms were on a constant alert as of lately. A protection squad that left one of the realms to patrol the fifth dimension around their realm disappeared. The only thing that was found, was traces of battle.

In one of the many realms a small squad of celestials had infiltrated their flanks. They walked passed the many cannons, tanks, bombs and other weird weapons of mass destruction. Their goal was the inner pantheon. These celestials were under the ranks of Ragthor. They were spies, sent to find the enemy's weakness. It was a dangerous job and the possibility of them surviving was slim, if anything at all.

The squad got to one of the thousand of check ups before they could enter the pantheon and were stopped.

" State your business!" A celestial said, while watching their every movement carefully. Searching for any sign of suspicious activity.

" We are here to enter the main pantheon sir!"

" State your purpose of entering the pantheon!"

" We are of the squad known as 218934672df. We were recently sent out to investigate the disappearance of the celestials in the fifth dimension and are now returning to report our findings, sir!"

" Very well, say your personal numbers and you may enter!"

" Sur yes sir. I am ...." each and everyone of the celestial said their stolen number and got past the first check. Long before they came here a peak celestial with the power over souls had helped mimic the souls of the enemy and make them take on their identity. They had two reasons for doing this, they were to report their own pantheon to the enemy pantheon and find information. They didn't understand their mission fully, but they did it nonetheless. It was after all for the good of the pantheon.

The squad made it through all of the check points until they arrived at the last one. Standing guard was a peak celestial. When it saw them, it narrowed it's eyes and said.

" You've managed to make it all this way. So you might as well go on. If you were spies, you'd been caught long ago!" The celestial said and waved at them to go on.

They sighted in relief and walked into the pantheon realm. What they saw shocked them. It was a world of sci-fi. Nothing was like home, no magic stuff. Just pure science and power.

They wanted to stay and look at the scene. But they were being watched, so they continued walking.

The squad entered an office with some celestials in it and greeted them.

" You've returned, tell us what you found!"

" We found out who attacked the celestial squad. It was a pantheon known as Ragthor. We found it's location through tracing their steps. Even if we went against the protocol by doing so sir!"

" You broke the rules, but you found good results. What is the coordinates of one of the preaches?"

" It's dr236jk789fg245 sir!"

" Good, you can go and rest. We will take care of the rest!"

The squad left at their dismissal and went to the courters they were pointed to. As they entered their rooms and saw the realms of the people they killed they smiled.

" Mission completed!" One of the men told his superiors in Ragthor. Who nodded and said

" Make your way home and don't go to those coordinates. Just follow the normal path home!"

" Yes sir!" The man said, as his commander stopped the conversation.

Just as he stopped, something grabbed him by he neck and everything went black.

" It's smaller than I thought it would be!"

" Obviously! No pantheon with strength would attack us. They'd know who we are and leave us alone. Start the damn cannons and get this over with. They should at least have some peak celestials." The general said. He had a while army of warships with him. Trillions of warships as big as titans surrounded the enemy realm. Waiting for the signal to fire.

As the signal came all trillion ships fired at the realm. The relentlessly fired for a whole minute, but nothing happened. It confused the celestial general.

" Nothing is happening sir!"

" I can tell, order the missiles to be launched!"

" By your orders sir!"

The missiles were launched upon order and hit the realm. But nothing happened. But they didn't stop firing and after half an hour, they could finally see cracks in the realm.

But the cracks in the realm started to shine all of a sudden and within seconds all the trillions of ships were swallowed by a red orange light.

" Raise the barrier!" The commander yelled and a barrier was made. But it was destroyed instantly.

Most of the ships were destroyed by the blast, but the commander ship was still whole.

" Sir, it was a trap!"

" Yes, yes I know, all of us knows that. We didn't lose a single life in this fight. All the ships were controlled by the triple phenix Ai. Now that we tricked them let's return home and ambush the damn enemy!

An explosion started the charge. Billions of celestials ran through a hole created by a mother ship. Their mission was to widen the hole enough for the first titan kings to make it through with their squads. The only problem was that they were already receiving fire from the enemy artillery system.

The celestials were falling quickly but they managed to make an opening big enough for a titan lord ship to make it through. As the titan lord ship made it through, it was shot down. Making it fall down and collapse onto several war cannons, destroying them.

The second the titan lord ship hit the ground. Omni trillions of celestial rushed out, attacking the celestials defending the realm.

" For Techa!" The defending Celestials screamed, as they used their alien tech rifles to fire at the incoming Celestials.

The celestials of Ragthor used their number advantage to overwhelm the Techa Celestials.

A wall of celestial bodies were being formed, creating a line of Techa and Ragthor celestials who hurled attacks at each other. On one side were the celestials defending the titan lord ship and the other was filled with cannons, tanks, missiles and rifle wielding robots and celestials.

" While we hold the line, widen the hole. If we fail, our souls will never be recovered. Or worse destroyed. Move!" A commander screamed at his men, as he singlehandedly kept the Techa celestials from advancing. But that advantage would be gone soon, as enemy reinforcements were on their way.

The hole they had made was being repaired as they defended. So they had to work quick, or they would have died in vain.

The Techas stronger cannons were done charging and fired their first shots into the mix of Ragthor celestials. Killing billions of them per successful shot.

" Is the titan ship healed yet?" The Commander yelled, as he blocked a cannon ball, aimed at the frontline.

" It's almost healed enough to regain it's consciousness. It's soul is already fighting of the enemy celestial souls and their attacks. It will be up and fighting in a minute!"

" Good job healers!" The commander yelled, as he recklessly jumped into the fray of enemy celestials. Pushing their frontline forward by eighty meters. Allowing quadrillions of celestials to get to the frontline and help. While the rest stayed at the hole. They had managed to stop the repairs and were slowly doing damage. Billions of titan lord ships could be seen on the outside, waiting to slick in.

" Send in titan General ships!" A Commander on the outside ordered.

Within seconds thousands of titan general ships entered the pantheon. Almost all of them went on the offensive instantly, doing suicide rushes into the enemy lines. As they died they would crash on the tanks and cannons and after that, swarms of Ragthor celestials would attack the Techa celestials.

While the titan general ships with no crew stayed at the opening and helped damage the barrier.

The stronger cannons focused on those ships instead of those doing suicide attacks. But it was already to late, the hole became big enough for the titan lord ships to make it through. As the first ship came through the first titan lord ship woke up and charged at the enemy frontlines. Using it's four legs to run at them, while attacking them with it's wings and tail. It managed to crate a road for the celestials to use, before it was focused on by the stronger cannons. But it made space for the titans and celestials to attack, so they did. Hundreds of lord ships made it through and their titan general ships attacked the Techa celestials and their artillery. While the lords started tarring the realms defense to shreds. Finally allowing the first titan king ship to enter. It had the shape of a eel or snake and the second it came inside it released it's crew. The crew was made of 2 million lord ships.

The titan king launched an assault at the enemy ships, who were arriving. It managed to take down two thousand enemy ships, before it was to injured to go on. As it fell from the sky, onto the ground of the realm, everything around it shock and many Techa celestials lost their balance. While an astonishing amount of cannons and tanks were destroyed by the titan king ship falling on it.

While the Techa celestials were distracted, the barrier was finally destroyed to the point that the first mother ship could come inside. With it's arrival billions of titan king ships entered. Following the titan emperor ship.

But Ragthor wasn't the only ones getting powerful reinforcements. Quadrillions of ships were coming feom the techa pantheon, to help with the defense. With the arrival of the ships, several peak celestials arrived. As they arrived billions of missiles were launched at the enemy empower titan. But it didn't even scratch it. Plus more and more mother titans arrived and more and more titan lords arrived. With each ship trillions and omni trillions and omni quadrillions of celestials in each came as reinforcements.

" Inform the high commander that he was right. They are not as weak as we thought. Request reinforcements. We will hold back the peak celestials in the motherships." A peak celestial of Techa told his servant.

" Yes my lord!" The servant answered and ran off.

" This will be quite the battle my friends! are you ready?"
