Titans Descent [P4Final]

//Lord Zhao's Orphanage~//

Currently in the orphanage's office, the seven Celestials were standing before Lord Zhao with solemn expressions. The office was well lit by crystals and plain in appearance with a blackwood table and scrolls neatly stored in their respective racks.

"I've called you all here because I believe a disaster is about to arrive on our doorstep, one which we cannot weather.." Lord Zhao tiredly said.

The Celestials looked at each other with uncertainty.

"Celestial Bing, tell me what you saw." Lord Zhao gestured towards the pale looking middle aged woman.

"Lord.. I... I can't remember.." Celestial Bing showed a look of pain as she tried to remember, beads of sweat dripped down her wrinkled brow.

Lord Zhao nodded as he seemed to have predicted. "It's okay Celestial Bing, have a rest. Whatever you saw has left it's mark on your mind, it'll not be easy to recover from it."

Celestial Bing nodded gratefully and sat down on a nearby chair.

"First things first, we need to retrieve the prince. Celestial Shu, Celestial Han I'll leave it to you."

A chiseled man with red hair and a old man covered in ancient armor came forward and bowed. They both said. "We'll be back soon Lord!" After which both swiftly left through the door.

"Now we have to contact the higher realms for reinforcements, Celestial Qiao, how is that going?" Lord Zhao asked as he sat down in his office chair.

Celestial Qiao shook his head in defeat. "Lord, it's truly baffling. No matter which transmission crystal or formation I use it's useless! I can't contact the outside!"

Lord Zhao closed his eyes and let out a deep breath. "We'll do what we can for now."

...

Flying on a flame chariot towards the black palace were the two Celestials Han and Shu. The chariot was golden and had various carving of phoenix's on it's glossy surface, pulling it were two flaming horses.

The dull scenery full of black rocks and various cities passed by in a flash as the two stood silently in the chariot.

"Celestial Han... I have a bad feeling." Celestial Shu quietly said.

Celestial Han agreed as he replied. "I too-" Interrupted by a flashing light, Celestial Han pulled the reins to the side as the chariot barely evaded a giant fireball which landed several thousand miles in front of them resulting in a large explosion.

"Halt!!" Celestial Han pulled on the reigns as a large shockwave rattled the chariot like a drum.

Up ahead a plume of black smoke covered the crash site.

"What the hell was that!" Celestial Shu cursed as he peered at the large cloud of black smoke.

Celestial Han shook his head dizzily. "I don't know!"

Both Celestials watched in shock as a giant figure over several hundred thousand meters tall walked out of the black smoke. It was made purely of magma which dripped from it's body and fell like meteors onto the ground below crushing the numerous devil cities below.

The magma giant waved it's hand sending a storm of fire and magma in all directions including that of the chariot.

"We have to go!!" Celestial Shu screamed.

Celestial Han's body lit up as fiery ropes flew out from his body and connected to the chariot.

Feeling the surge of power, the horses neighed loudly pulling the chariot along at extreme speeds. The chariot flew through the hail of fire, dodging with precise accuracy as just a single mistake would cause death.

"Hah!" Celestial Han shouted loudly as he steered the chariot through the fiery storm, those that were dodged hit many devil cities below destroying them completely.

The dodging became increasingly harder as time went on and eventually, the chariot came upon a massive glob of fire which could not be evaded.

"Ahhh! Come to me!!" Celestial Shu shouted as he made several hand movements causing a ghostly figure over six thousand meters tall to leave his body, the ghost was covered in pitch black armor and had a skeletal face.

"GO!!" The ghostly figure punched towards the ball of fire which dwarfed it.

*Bang!!*

The ghost's punch was extremely powerful but it only barely managed to pierce a hole in the magma ball.

Flying through the ball of fire, Celestial Shu was barely holding on from the intense heat. Blood pouring out of his eyes, ears and nose only to be evaporated away by the fire surrounding them. Seconds later the chariot had escaped from the magma ball and was now flying toward the magma giant.

"You okay?" Celestial Han asked as he continued to control the chariot.

Celestial Shu's body was shaking from exhaustion yet he nodded his head and said weakly. "I'm alright....Keep going."

The chariot flew between the legs of the magma giant who barely seemed to have noticed them. It sped through the air like a beam of light through the dark sky, passing the countless screaming devils below. The scenery had completely changed, what used to be cold dark mountains and numerous fields of sharp black rocks had turned into an inferno.

The horror grew on both Celestials faces as they got closer to the black palace, they had seen not just one magma giant but several hundred of them.

"This is insane! Is this it? Will our ancestral ground really fall?" Celestial Han blurted out fearfully.

"I think so... a heavenly continent has never fell before yet..today seems to be the day it happens." Celestial Shu exhaled nervously as he wiped a cold sweat from his brow.

The two Celestials continued on in silence as they saw more devastating sights, billions of devils burning underneath the magma giants emotionless gazes and ancient cities being melted into slag were just a few of them.

Finally the two managed to reach the black palace, the chariot stopped just above the front courtyard where Ariel was being held.

Celestial Han looked down and spotted the prince who was staring vacantly at Ariel who was floating in the sky, he listened to the screams of his loved ones unable to do anything.

"Quick grab him! We don't have much time." Celestial Han pointed towards Dong Mu with a gesture.

Celestial Shu nodded, just as he was about to jump down, a hand grabbed his shoulder.

Turning around Celestial Shu saw Celestial Han gripping his shoulder tightly with a shaking arm. Staring upwards, his expression showed extreme fear, desolation and hopelessness.

"What? What's wrong?" Celestial Shu frowned as he asked.

Receiving no answer, Celestial Shu stared upwards and the same expression as Celestial Han appeared on his face.

High in the sky, falling towards them was colossal being of unprecedented size, it's skin was charred rock and covered in a chaotic flame, streaks of bright red magma flowed through it's veins like heavenly rivers. Even from such a distance, the being still completely blotted out the sky.

They both stared in silence as the being grew closer and closer.

*BOOM!!!!*

With a thunderous clap, the gigantic being crashed into the continent of Nraka. The ground itself jumped up like waves in the sea followed by a shockwave which obliterated mountains, evaporated seas and dispersed the atmosphere.

Even with the calamitous drop of the giant being, the black palace was strangely untouched. Not a stone had been moved and even the two Celestials were spared annihilation.

Celestial Han and Celestial Shu stared dumbfoundedly at the flaming being as it slowly stood up, it's legs were buried deep within the Nraka continent as it couldn't withstand it's impossible weight.

After finally standing straight, the Titan Sol stared upon the land that he and his brothers and sisters would destroy. Because he was so tall, a quarter of his body was inside the atmosphere of Nraka and the rest broke through the cloud layers and reached the cold darkness of space.

Unconsciously, specs of flame left his body and fell towards the earth below, they would become more magma giants that the two Celestials had encountered before.

More and more golden vortexes appeared above Nraka, Sol watched coldly with blue eyes as his brothers and sisters descended upon the world with their titanic forms.

Seemingly hearing something, Sol turned his mighty gaze to the ground at his feet.

"Yes Allmother, I shall." Sol uttered robotically.

Sol reached his scolding fist towards the heavens which began to glow with a white flame which caused the surround void of space to light up and burn. More and more flames traveled from his body and into his fist until it became a blinding light brighter than any star.

"Perish!" Sol muttered.

With an instantaneous movement, Sol punched towards the ground.

Celestial Han and Celestial Shu watched in horror as a giant glowing white fist evaporated the cloud layer and set the atmosphere alight with a wave of flame that stretched to the horizon. It looked as if it were heading directly for them but it was just so large that it gave them the illusion it was, the fist itself was like a gigantic ceiling that completely covered the sky and it was closing in upon them at speeds that defied logic.

Suddenly they were blinded by a brief flash of light. Beneath them the black palace had completely disappeared leaving deep crater in the ground.

"The prince.." Celestial Han said as he stared at the fist descending upon them.

"It doesn't matter anymore." Celestial Shu muttered as he closed his eyes.

"Yes..you're..right..it..doesn't-"

Before the fist had even reached the two Celestials, the ground beneath them had melted into liquid, their chariot and horses had faded away, the skin on the bodies fell off like scabs and dispersed into the air, their muscles turned to ash and lastly their bones disintegrated.

High above the Nraka continent, the black palace and the ground it was built on floated in space.

Dong Mu looked down at the continent, one so familiar to him.

In the distance where the black palace had been just a second earlier he saw an explosion of light. A towering geyser of fire shot into space and fissures of magma spread out across part of the continent like a red spiderweb.

The resulting shockwave spread across Nraka like a wave annihilating everything in it's path.

Bloody tears stained his face as the music to this destruction was the haunting screams of his wife, sister and child.

The mysterious female voice resounded in his mind again.

...

"Do you see it dust?"

...

"It's beautiful isn't it? Mezmerizing even.. I hardly ever grow tired of such sights...such destruction..."

...

"Heh..They are merely small creations of mine yet this world is facing an inevitable end....don't worry though, you'll live...yes...I'll make sure you and your loved ones live eternally."

...

"ETERNALLY IN SUFFERING AHAHAHA!!"
