D'ken Neramani stepped forward with unyielding confidence, his voice echoing through the chamber as he confronted Caesar's doubts head-on.
"Surrender all Angels, share the secrets of harnessing faith's energy! The Shi'ar Empire is prepared to end the war!"
"Also hand over the technology for long-range communication and large-scale spatial transmission! The Kerry Empire and Shi'ar Empire offers you safe passage, otherwise there will be repercussions!" The Supreme Intelligence declared with a resolute demeanour.
"And remember," D'ken added firmly, "surviving doesn't guarantee safety!"
"What the actual fuck are you fools barbering about." Caesar's laughter reverberated through the void as he assessed the assembled leaders.
"In this vast universe, strength is paramount," he remarked. "Now let's get this show on the road."
Suddenly the long dormant system awakened.
[Attention: The Kree Empire and the Shi'ar Empire have formed an alliance, placing pressure on the host to make a decision!]
[Option 1: Defeat the coalition forces of both empires, while simultaneously boosting the host's prestige throughout the universe. Upon reaching the required prestige, the reward is the esteemed title of Cosmic Overlord, striking fear into all who oppose the host. However, be warned, this title reduces the host's combat prowess by 10%!]
[Option 2: Pursue peace with the allied empires, forging a treaty of tranquility. The reward for this choice is a 30% increase in the speed of collecting beliefs for the Angel's Reincarnation Pool.]
"Are we left with only two choice?" Caesar muttered, his gaze fixed on the tempting rewards displayed by the system. With determination etched on his face, he declared, "Angel Legion, gear up for battle! It's time to go to WAR!"
wasted no time, summoning forth the blazing sword of flames with fierce determination. Leading the charge, she rallied the first Angel Legion, mostly comprising dedicated middle and low-ranking Angels. Together, they surged forward, aiming straight for the defenses of the Kree Empire.
Meanwhile, Azrael took command of the second Angel Legion, a mix of seasoned elite plunderers who had remained stationed on Surya. They faced off against the formidable fleet of the Shi'ar Empire, with the Kree. Their warriors including Valina, standing tall and resolute.
Among the Kree soldiers were familiar faces from her past, adding a personal edge to the conflict.
Caesar's expression turned icy as he wielded the power of the Space Gem, manipulating the battlefield to his advantage. Despite Surya's magical protections from the reincarnation pool, it quivered under the weight of their impending clash.
Without delay, the battle erupted with full force.
Caesar led the charge, unleashing a torrent of energy towards D'ken, while strategically isolating the Supreme Intelligence with the Space Gem. Though the Supreme Intelligence's physical form resided far away, Caesar knew that even if they defeated it swiftly, it could transfer its consciousness to another vessel and rejoin the fray.
If the Supreme Intelligence abandoned its confrontation with Caesar and turned its attention to the Angels, the situation would become dire indeed.
The power of a single Infinity Gem approached the threshold of the fourth-order limit. Yet, Caesar knew he couldn't underestimate the Supreme Intelligence. With its formidable abilities, it posed a significant threat, especially if Caesar had to contend with it while facing D'ken simultaneously.
Undeterred by the onslaught, D'ken weathered the barrage of attacks, emerging unscathed from the sea of flames with his muscular physique intact.
Without relying on the Space Gem, Caesar honed his mastery of fourth-order solar power for several years.
….
The Supreme Intelligence tried to go back through came back through tapping into it's formidable spiritual power, which can tear through space relentlessly.
The alliance with D'ken was formed with the aim of swiftly overpowering Caesar and seizing control of everything.
Meanwhile, a crucial meeting unfolded within the chambers of the Supreme Intelligence.
"Our initial estimates of individual strength were surpassed, nearing that of Sky Father Odin, escalating the threat level significantly!" one member exclaimed.
"Transporting energy across space isn't like Bifrost; it appears to be an innate ability. Capturing the power to teleport across space presents a formidable challenge!" another added.
The Supreme Intelligence tried to tear through space, only to be swiftly countered by Caesar.
"It's confirmed as an individual ability with vast applicability, heightening the danger significantly. The likelihood of capturing this teleportation ability is dwindling!" declared another member.
"We must abort the plan to seize the Ability and enact our secondary plan: to eliminate the threat by any means necessary!" the Supreme Intelligence commanded, adjusting tactics swiftly.
The Supreme Intelligences launched relentless assaults, tearing through space to drain Caesar's energy or coordinating with D'ken to confront him directly.
