chapter - 4 (THE ORIGIN OF CRISIS) part - 1

"I will tell you what happened. everything about the crisis and how it is that you have the power to stop this crisis and how is this crisis related to your suffering. I will tell you everything."

Solomon said that with a painful expression as he started to explain

according to him. over some billions of years ago before the universe was even created, the gods and demons have come into existence and along with them there was another species whose existence was the strongest in the entire history of the Creation known as 'cosmic beings'.their magic power is abnormally strong and their bodies were the toughest. these all species have come into the existence in a time where there was nothing but black empty space.

one day a cosmic being who has an abnormal amount of magic power even among the entire history of the cosmic beings, created a huge blast for unknown reasons in the black empty space which obliterated the entire species of the cosmic beings and forced them into extinction except for the abnormal that caused the blast. due to that blast, many of the gods and demons were subjected to annihilation. but that resulted in the creation of the universe.

the abnormal who created the blast felt guilty for the mass destruction he did. so, he gathered the entire survivors of the gods and demons and placed them on a planet which was later called as earth. even though he was the reason for the mass destruction but since he was also the cause for the creation of the universe the people started to address him as the 'creator'.

along with the three species that lived before the creation there lived some wild creatures known as celestial creatures. at that time they were so strong that only cosmic beings were able to handle them but after the huge blast, the strongest type of celestial creatures was obliterated while the weakest type of celestial creatures survived. Among the creatures who survived some of them came to the earth and lived on the surface. after living many years the celestial creatures evolved into the animals that live on the earth.

while some of the survived celestials came to the earth and evolved, so many of the surviving celestial creatures were wandering in the newly created universe from planet to planet. the creator, who noticed that became worried for the planet's safety since the only ones that were capable of hunting them, the cosmic beings, were extinct. out of worry for the earth and the beings that were living on the earth he created 12 individuals who inherited his powers and genes to protect the planet. those individuals were later known as zodiac guardians. the creator used a protocol on zodiac guardians in case they die and the protocol was that their power and memories will be inherited by only a newborn baby that is most capable of becoming a zodiac guardian. the creator had entrusted the safety of the planet to the zodiac guardians and passed away in peace.

for many millions and billions of years, the zodiacs have fended off the celestial creatures that were trying to invade the earth as time passed by the celestials have grown weak that they could match up with only the strongest god. but on one unfortunate day, a celestial with intelligence came and successfully invaded the earth. the zodiacs who were fighting the celestial could not match up to its power but they somehow managed to stop it by sacrificing their own lives. but their struggle was in vain since that celestial before dying it blessed other celestial creatures with its intelligence and the ambition to rule over the world. as they gained their intelligence and there were also no guardians to stop them the celestials started their invasion. the demons and gods had to fight them all by themselves and as they were fighting so many celestials were taken down but in the end, the earth was completely invaded even before the zodiac guardians were assigned.

At first during the invasion, only the strongholds of heaven and hell were taken but as time went on they expanded their invasion continuously until the only places that remain in the hell and heaven are only one piece of land each. It has been 100 million years since that day.

The celestials have gained the intelligence and naturally, due to the intelligence, they even got ideas of how to increase their army's intelligence so they found out that if a celestial without any intelligence absorbs a certain amount of magic they could evolve and gain intelligence. so they made an army of celestials without intelligence for themselves and had them absorb the inhabitants to absorb magic and due to that some of them even evolved and gained intelligence. some of them even used their intelligence in torturing the inhabitants of the islands they invaded and even killing them.

in order to fight the celestials, hell and heaven created a group of soldiers by training them in order to fight the celestials. those soldiers are known as 'fighters'. so many attempts were made by the inhabitants and fighters and even demon kings and gods but everybody came back as a corpse and sometimes even corpses didn't make it back.

just like they were all trying to gain back their lands the celestials were also trying to invade the other islands as well. when that time comes they fight back and if they lose the fight they try to send as many survivors as possible to other islands but at this point of time the only thing they can do is to defend themselves and if they lose this land there is no other island to send the survivors as well.

they were all living in the depths of darkness known as despair and were waiting for a ray of light known as hope. for the past, 100 million years as they continuously lost their land, were continuously being tortured, and were corned to a point where they cannot even fight back but to defend their last island.

after listening to this entire story I could not help but think that my problems and sufferings are way smaller when compared to theirs.

and here they are saying that the hope they were waiting for the past 100 million years is me. but how can I fight them? even though they have these problems I cannot fight and honestly, I don't even wanna see the creature again. just thinking about it is sending chills through my spine.
