Ascension of the Nephilim

Four days had passed since the unsealing of the darkness and the portal towards a certain world was opened.

Yet a terrifying curse to blind the gods and the fallen occurred and kept this small, strange planet outside of the notice of everyone.

Destiny watched from the end of time and was cursing.

"What did it open?! How could that True Neutral subvert the future? What is Fate doing?" Destiny cursed.

But Destiny had already taken root of each opening of the gate and sent many who has Destiny Challenger to salvage the situation. Destiny used to have a monopoly on Middle and chose to seal it. Leaving Middle open would give Fate the chance to send her forces inside by force. End needed more time in the future so sending the bare minimum and creating a kingdom there and blocking all access to it was the best strategy they had.

But Fate has altered the future and set Middle through some mysterious means! It was already impossible for Time to be altered creating an alternate future Middle. But somehow, Fate found a way to send a weaker team into this future Middle!

But all knowledge of this mysterious team that fought in the alternate Middle has mysteriously vanished!

End believed that only Histerion could do such miraculous powers. They also beleived that whatever Lanthanou sealed, was to their advantage.

But Destiny could not help but curse at the rippling effect of this!

"The secret and now forgotten battle that that man had with Histerion is definitely the cause of this! What happened? Why are the things I've long destined suddenly getting overturned! There must be a secret enemy hiding somewhere! But where?!" Destiny shouted angrily as he glanced over the gigantic orb that revealed the future paths to him.

The battle that Destiny had with Fate was intensifying. Many other allies of End were helping him minimize the branching possibilities of the future.

"There are just too many futures now! How can I end all these branching timelines!" Destiny cursed.

But on the other side, Fate was laughing from the present.

"It's open! The path to Middle! Fate Challengers! Arise! Find Middle and get to the Planes World! The Nephilim! That forgotten being is definitely at the center of this!" Fate laughed as she used her power to arrange all her Challengers alive in the present.

Fate and Destiny continued to fight to reveal this to their allies and hide it from the other side. Both were in a deadlock. Destiny would ultimately win, but Fate continued to delay this revelation.

And so, it was only up to the mortals to fight for these lands. The allies of the two were now moving towards the land of Middle.

All over the universe, the mortals of both sides were alarmed at the opening and began to send their forces inside.

Destiny commanded his legions to move ahead, but on all worlds, those who are of Fate led wars that forced these legions to only send what they could spare!

In Middle, the land itself has quickly turned into a chaotic era. The first was that the land of Middle felt the presence of two Crowns fighting in a mysterious, and concealed place. And right after that, the portals opened!

The undead lands had suddenly increased in powers as many vampires and beasts had come up. The powers of the vampires and undead had an army that surpassed all of current Middle.

The seals of darkness that prevented creatures above Commanders twas broken! Armies of Captains led by Champions emerged. There were very few warrior mages that had not reached the Captain level. An average army of a mid-level twenty team appeared.

Soon, reports of a Cardinal were heard and it forced the human army of the Planes World to halt their invasion and pulled back.

With a war going on in the Lowlands, there was no time for them to spare resources as the Crown battles were reported.

But as the Midlands were now sending more and more forces to guard the area, the overall threat that was determined in the Airom was not that high. Compared to an army with Cardinals inside this portal leading to another world, were Crowns battling outside!

A Lizardman army waited at the exit of the path leading to the Nephilim Sealing Mountain.

A Cardinal stood at the very front and several Commanders were behind him.

He glanced at the human army guarding the entrances and laughed at their might.

The group had no Cardinal. They had only a few Commanders and champions and captains and these people had been too few!

"That's it? This is the Human army that threatened you? The so-called Commander-King Komodo?" The Cardinal laughed as he ravaged another platoon of dead humans.

A Commander of the Alpha Draconis who once called himself king was now one of the weaker Commanders in the kingdom.

They marshaled their troops to attack and reclaim the many lands they have lost.

In one night, the lizard kingdom was unified and organized into a proper nation. The many lizard kingdoms were now linked and had new rulers who overthrew the previous leaders at once.

"There lies the last defense of these humans from the Planes World. I am interested as to what kind of world goes beyond that magical mountain."

"You must be wary of the Golem King. There is a Celestial guarding that place! Our scouts have reported great golem activity as many have been recreated during these past months! If that Golem King still exists, then the humans have a powerful ace that could easily wipe us all out!"

"A Golem King? A Celestial?" The Cardinal laughed.

"I've read those reports. But seeing as to how incompetent the Commander-King is, I wonder if it's just yet another excuse for his failure?" The Cardinal questioned.

Komodo remained silent.

"Stop!" Suddenly, a voice cried out.

An old man walked out of the forces of the Planesworld.

"Lizardman army! Residents of Alpha Draconis! And Commander-King Komodo!" The old man addressed the group.

"We have seen how the portals through all lands have been open. Our spies indicate that more Cardinals have been sent inside there! We know that this place, this mysterious world is now going to fall into chaos. We, who are of the Planesworld request a truce!" The old man declared.

The Cardinal Lizardman was shocked at the words of the old man.

"Why is some old Champion half a step into his grave so brazen and daring to call for a truce? Are we equals?" The Lizardman asked.

His mere words created a trembling of force energy that caused many under Captain to quiver in pain.

"Equals in power? No. Equals in the situation, yes! You face a great army in the other regions. We have sensed the arrival of many powerful reptilian warriors. The Lizard Lords that represent the pure breeds of many lizardman races, some close to dragons have already arrived. But... isn't it the same in the east and the west? The Undying Lands now have Cardinals. The Wild Lands are also reforming! If you are not careful then a goblin army will open from your underground caves! And not only that-"

"Kill him."

BLAST! BLAST! BLAST!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

At the Cardinal's commands, numerous Commander-level siege cultivators harnessed their power and utilized siege weapons!

"Ahem... not only that, if you continue to press forward, the stronger kingdoms of our world, which has Celestials will be roused to anger! Just leave us in peace and we won't attack!" The old man stood as he did before. Around him, a powerful force shield that managed to resist the attacks of three Commanders was slowly disappearing.

The cardinal was shocked as he saw the old man standing without any wounds.

"Who is that man?" The cardinal asked Komodo.

"A mysterious man. He is one of the strongest fighters. He and his freak family along with certain deserters of Alpha Draconis! He vanished for a while, but now his back! Known to us as the Naked Shield, a powerful divergent Paladin Shield Expert!"

"A shield expert?! And a paladin?! But no matter! I came here to win! Commanders! Prepare to attack! Overwhelm that man with might and magic!" The Cardinal ordered.

The elite Commanders serving the Cardinal moved forward.

Three lizardmen with a unique form displaying their purity to certain power lizard races and two reptilian creatures moved forward.

"Kill!" The Cardinal ordered and all the Commanders rushed forward.

"They don't want to listen. Prepare the Golems! Release the Commander Golems!" Mezal ordered.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A series of loud booms were heard as several brightly colored stones shot out of the cave entrance and crashed on the Commanders.

Two instantly died and two others were doing their best to survive the onslaught as four humanoid beings emerged.

In the past four days, Kyros had secretly infiltrated the base and upgraded the Gigantes Core.

"If you keep this up, I will sacrifice the captured lizardmen and make the Golem King, move! He will have a power that surpasses the Crown!" Mezal announced.
