"This.." Shen Tianyue herself has not been expecting it to be this fast as she looked at the events unfolding within the Immortal Territories. The Heavenly Sacred Empire that was floating in the horizon also started its gradual descent to the waters of the territories, and the angelic and divine beings of the Empire had already established contact with the aboriginals.
All over the Immortal Territories, chaos and unrest has started to envelop the people, without any clue of what might happen to the world in the next second. Everything was slow changing, adapting to its new state as a Heaven.
"It's developing at a faster rate than I have been anticipating. What's happening?" She muttered confusedly. "I know he's meant to become a god, but isn't this too much?"
Plans have already been laid out, My Dear Shen.
"Fate?" Shen Tianyue gasped in shock as she looked at the ever-changing horizon in front of her.
Matthias has to ascend. They are coming.
"But can't you do anything to at least give Matthias some time?" Shen Tianyue asked with concern, looking at Matthias' body hovering between the light from the skies as all things coalesced.
Time will be given to him, as a partial god.
"You mean to say.." Slowly, Shen Tianyue started to formulate and grasp what Fate meant, as she nodded, "Rest assured, Dear Fate, your son will be ready, and I'll make sure of it."
Thank you.
With the goal clear to her, Shen Tianyue form shifted, with the presence around her becoming more profound and deep. Her arms did a circular motion as ten enigmatic images appeared surrounding her.
"Ten Fates Genesis Scripture: Divine Queen Authority, Kindle of Celestial Creation."
The ten images surrounding her then released a shattering sound as cracks branched off of them all and connected with each other. Primordial energy gradually leaked out from those images as all of those energies poured down for the Immortal Territories that was transitioning into a Heaven.
With Matthias' efforts coupled with Queen Shen's support and the existence of the angelic beings inhabiting the realm, the Great Immortal Territories' inner core is also gradually turning itself into a Heaven's Core, and the last thing it needs to form its infant core would be..
"I call upon the authorities of all existing Heavens! I proclaim Divine Heaven's Authority as Absolute to itself and the domains under its rule!"
A strong quake suddenly struck the entire realm as the chains connecting all things suddenly vibrated. As for why it was, innumerable waves of energies struck Divine Heaven in a violent manner.
Several divine images emerged as they gazed at Matthias with disgust and contempt. "A newly evolved realm dares to proclaim itself as Heaven? Ridiculous." One of the images snickered.
"Return from whence you came, scoundrels from the other Heavens!" Matthias shouted angrily at the images, "I did not ask for your permission to establish my Heaven! I establish it as an Absolute, therefore it is the absolute! You shall have no say in this!" His tone changed to an almighty degree, echoing all across the realm and those that surround it.
"You!" The one that spoke before glowered at him. "I deny this false Heaven's existence!"
"We second the motion." The other divine images responded.
"Then, Divine Heaven does not recognise your existences either!" Matthias retorted back with pride as he slowly straightened his posture, surrounded by celestial light as he returned the gazes of contempt towards the images.
"Are you declaring war against the original Heavens, mortal?" The images asked coldly.
"The Original Heavens does not recognise my Heaven, and neither do we." Matthias answered as-a-matter-of-fact, "If the Original Heavens even dares to step their filthy little toes within the matters of my Heaven, then war it is!"
Silence pervaded between the two parties. After a while, one of the images spoke indifferently, which somehow decided the outcome of this entire fiasco. "The Tenth Heaven formally severes itself from this Universe."
"Lord Vliodan!" The other images exclaimed. "The Tenth Heaven has long severed its relations with the Universe, albeit informally. We would just be dedicated to it wholly."
The image then turned its head towards Matthias before speaking to him telepathically, "The Heavens must be in harmony with each other."
Matthias sneered and replied, "Harmony would be impossible with those men."
"Then I shall give you a deal, an agreement between Divine Heaven and Tenth Heaven." The image answered, which puzzled him. "What deal might that be?" He asked.
The image from the Tenth Heaven then dropped their greatest agreement that shook Matthias to the core. "Tenth Heaven will help your Heaven with conquering the other Heavens."
"But why?!" Matthias asked in a bewildered manner, "Tenth Heaven would not get any benefits by doing so!"
"In turn," The image continued, "Tenth Heaven would be separated from the matters of the Universe in the future."
Matthias narrowed his eyes when the image gave their other end of the deal. Knowing what might happen in the future, that would mean the Tenth Heaven also has an inkling of the Universe's fate, and that would mean the Universe would lose a powerful Heaven under them.
"Divine Heaven and The Tenth Heaven would cooperate with each other, achieving a partnership." Matthias suggested otherwise.
"Tenth Heaven would help but would be granted independence from the Universe's existence." The image suggested once more.
"That's the best we can get." Matthias nodded, approving the image's suggestion. The image then subtly smiled before speaking audibly once again, "The Tenth Heaven shall leave." After saying that, the image slowly vanished from their view, leaving the bewildered images of the Heavenly Rulers gasping with shock.
"Why are all of you still here? We have already reached a consensus, correct?" Matthias looked at the images haughtily, gaining the snorts of the Heavenly Rulers before they all left.
Making sure they're gone, Matthias expanded his spiritual sense throughout the Immortal Territories, and once he was sure, his power immediately erupted with vigor as the entire realm transformed into an infant Heaven.
Land, sea, and sky quaked as all of it gradually turned divine. The Underworld was also involved as the divine energies entered the fissures leading to the realm of the dead.
Outside the Immortal Territories, The Divine Kingdom suddenly shook violently, alarming Alumen and the other Seraphim.
"What's happening, Lord Alumen?" One of the Divine Angels asked the six-winged Seraph that was overlooking the realm.
"It seems that His Divine Majesty would be merging The Divine Kingdom into another realm." Alumen replied as he solemnly looked at the skies of The Divine Kingdom.
Throughout the Divine Kingdom, countless rifts gradually appeared, showing the image of another world beyond it. As if all of it was closing in, everyone felt the energy pushing inside the Divine Kingdom, overwhelming them with tremendous power.
Cracks started to appear on the surface of the kingdom's walls, alarming everyone of the power beyond the rifts.
The Seraphim have already gathered together, talking about the merger with solemnity.
"Without His Majesty's appearance, everyone must keep a close watch of the world beyond the rifts, understand?" Alumen, seated on his throne, ordered solemnly.
"Understood, Lord Alumen." The other Seraphim nodded.
"Do we need to alert the Deities of Matheon?" Asher Yale, one of the Twin Emperor Seraphim, inquired.
Alumen thought for a moment before answering, "The other deities need not know of the problems of The Divine Kingdom." He sighed.
"Why not?" Sylphos, The Seraph of Wisdom, asked confusedly, "The existence of Matheon, The Divine Kingdom, and the Endless Hell are one and the same. We were there when Matheon needed help, thus, the deities of Matheon should also aid The Divine Kingdom considering our current crisis!"
"Because I figured His Majesty might be involved with this merger." Alumen replied, "I sensed His Majesty's existence within the world beyond the rift, and that would only mean that he knows what is happening, or even might be the reason for what's happening."
"But The Divine Kingdom is currently being destroyed in the process! You yourself should be aware of that, Lord Alumen!" Sylphos shouted with displeasure. "We cannot do anything against the beings beyond, Lord Sylphos!" Alumen replied with helplessness.
He stood up from his seat, looking at the rifts forming beyond the horizon, "Just their energy alone is already ruining the unshakable and unbreakable walls that His Majesty has built. What more would their existence be once we charge at them, worse, they enter our realm?" He then laughed resignedly, "The beings beyond definitely surpasses our kind by a huge degree, no doubt about it."
Suddenly, Alumen's eyes widened. He raised his arms and seemingly scrutinized it. After that, he looked at his surroundings carefully and attentively. He then chuckled and gradually laughed wholeheartedly, confusing the Seraphim gathered within the palace.
"What's going on, Lord Alumen?" Ansariel, one of the Twin Emperor Seraphim, asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"My power is rising, and so is The Divine Kingdom!" Alumen answered while laughing with joy.
