Nova

The astral world was in chaos. The clashes of the mighty beings were tearing reality apart, sending violent and potent waves deeper into the cosmos.

Authorities throughout the astral world were affected and stirred, weakening the very fabric of reality in many parts of the universe.

The tributaries of the river of destiny began to merge into one, innumerable fates joining together to form a long river, infinite and boundless, illuminated by the Golden Sun and Silver Lightning.

The fates converged, as indescribable beings struck to the barrier, silently watching the defining developments inside.

In the void, three mighty gods battled it out, their authorities unleashed upon the astral world.

The storm raged. The moon screamed. The sun bellowed.

Lightning struck the starless void; Moonlight corrupted the heavens; Light raged, disintegrating it all.

Eternal Blazing Sun, drenched in his golden blood, held his spear high above his head, emitting an infinite amount of pure light. He appeared battered and frail, as if he were nearing his end.

A blue trident encrusted in endless lightning and a black scythe shrouded in eternal darkness descended and struck his spear, producing resplendent sparks brighter than any star in the cosmos.

Lord of Storms and Evernight Goddess floated above, holding the trident and scythe. Their armour and dress were shattered and torn, stained with dark and blue blood.

Though their eyes were brighter, still carrying mighty power, unlike the Eternal Blazing Sun, whose golden eyes were dimming like a star entering twilight.

The Eternal Blazing Sun loosened his grip on the spear, allowing them to exert even more force in a bit to shatter his defence. Sparks larger than planets flaring up in their clashes.

The Sun God moved his hand away from his spear at a speed surpassing all the material laws of the cosmos, aiming at them.

"Absolute light." With a ferocious grin, he spat, golden blood dripping from the cuts across his face.

Boom!

A bright light erupted from his palm. Its power was unimaginable, driving away the night and storm, submerging and hurling them across the starless void.

However, the storm and night were not extinguished; they flared up once more and surged with all their might towards the sun god.

Eternal Blazing Sun stared down at them, his ferocious grin fading and his cracked spear rising, fully prepared for another round of battle.

In the Astral World, the war between night, storm, and sun raged on, sounding a symphony of the end across the cosmos.

Trier, somewhere on the battlefield.

Lucas Reyes genuflected on the scorched ground, stabbing a white sword in front of him to support himself under the suppression of the gods.

As he resisted the divine aura, his body was covered in charred cracks that went straight through his core.

The most beloved of the sun god, the Angel of Light, felt his consciousness blurring as he struggled to shift his gaze away from the sky.

The eternal sun emitted blinding rays, splattering palettes of gold across the stormy darkness which encircled the sun from the ground to the sky, filling the entire world and invading the pure light of the sun.

The stormy darkness had already invaded most of the pure light.

'No..' Lucas thought, trying his best to pull up his sword and stand up to fight. He wanted to be the angel of light to the very end. If the lord falls, he will also fall with him in the glorious battle, fighting for the honour of his lord to the last of his breaths.

But, his arms trembled violently as his breathing weakened, his vision fading away.

"Idiot." A voice laced with concern sounded, as his love hugged him from behind. The authority of knowledge erupted from behind, shrouding him.

The divine pressure dissipated as Lucas fell out of her embrace, trembling and whizzing, his throat turning red.

"What on earth were you thinking?" Diana yelled, tears welling up in her eyes, as she and others rushed towards him.

Laius knelt in front of Lucas, his trembling hand on his scarred chest, asserting his authority. A flash of light erupted, bathing Lucas and gradually healing his injuries.

Diana smashed her fists on the ground to vent her emotions before grabbing her purple book and performing a mythical re-enactment of the myth of the Earth Mother.

"Diana…" Blaise interrupted her by pressing his hands on her shoulders. "Look..."

Diana looked down at her lover, whose body was suddenly bathed in the pure light of the eternal sun, which completely healed him in a moment.

"Diana.." Lucas awoke, dazed at the dimming sun, as Laius stood up and walked to Blaise.

"Bastard.." Diana hugged him tightly, tears streaming down his tattered armour. Lucas embraced her as well.

"Lord…" Lucas inquired, his head jerking to the horizon. The stormy darkness had nearly completely engulfed the pure light. Twilight had fallen on the Eternal Sun.

"What happening on the battlefield? What the hell is happening???" He yelled immediately, clutching Diana's gown and looking at her and others.

Heaviness and sorrow filled the air.

Diana smiled, a tragic smile that spoke volumes about her sorrow and misery. But she seemed to pull herself together and spoke to Lucas.

"Lucas…" She said. "Calm down. How can the future God Almighty fall for a small hurdle?"

For Lucas, it appeared as if his love was convincing herself more than him. Blaise walked over with Madilyn and Laius, the faith in his eyes remained unwavering.

But, just then, a familiar voice sounded. "Hey, guys. It's been a long time, hasn't it?"

They looked back immediately. Blaise, Diana, and Lucas' eyes widened in disbelief at the sight of their 'dead' friend, Edward, Angel of Redemption.

"Edward.." exclaimed Lucas. "You are still alive?"

"Oh my god..." Diana stood up immediately, her pupils dilating at the Eternal Sun.

In the starless void, a blue trident struck the golden spear, as Leodero and Aucuses faced each other, their twisted faces illuminated by light and lightning.

"Die, Aucuses." Leodero roared at Aucuses, whose bright figure was waning in the darkness.

Suddenly, the crimson moon rose above them, its moonlight merging with the eternal darkness, saturating it even more so.

Then, the crimson-darkness cascaded down, submerging Aucuses and Leodero, freezing them.

In the void that had been destroyed by the intense battle of gods, time seemed to have come to a halt. Whether it was Leodero in battered armour covered in endless lightning or Aucuses with broken wings bathing in waning light, they seemed to have become a part of oil painting. Everything stood on the spot, maintaining their previous posture.

However, a dark scythe had stabbed through the back of Leodero, piercing through his heart as it frantically drained the life of the Lord of Storms in an act of returning to the silent darkness.

The dark scythe was held in the hands of Amanises, the Evernight Goddess. It created a scene of eternal night with silence, tranquillity, and repose.

Leodero slowly turned his head, looked at Amanises, who was shrouded in eternal night. He asked in pain. "Wh-y?..."

Amanises just let out a chuckle.

At this moment, Aucuses smirked. His golden spear thrusted into Leodero, accurately piercing his heart.

"Farewell, Leodero." He said, his reminiscent eyes flashing with past memories.

"I am the Nova." Aucuses declared, looking up at the cosmos. "All-exploding. Reality-cremating."

His waning figure emitted a scorching and invulnerable light, disintegrating the body of Leodero.

The incandescent light erupted, illuminating the starless void, the astral world, material world, and spirit world.

In the midst of it all, the Eternal Sun rose high, as if standing above the entire cosmos, brighter and more magnificent than ever.
