Chapter 95 - Arrival of the Ancient Eight

As stars bent around their passage, the eight sovereigns of the Primeval Universe soared through space--threads of time and reality parting before them. Restu Kasumi led, cloaked in eternal stillness. Beside him moved(Draven Redgrave, Thalass Blueheart, Alistair Graylock, Lucian Nightgale, Rex Noir, Divinus Luminus, and Arlequina Quiin. Their voices echoed through folded dimensions, discussing the Astral Universe.

Meanwhile at the Astral Universe,Void ling, standing on a watchtower with Blaze Vortex and King Ryder, narrowed his eyes.

Void ling:

(With a serious face)

"Do you sensed the powerful aura energy?"

Blaze Vortex:

(Serious tone)

"Yeah. Something's moving through space...like a wave that ignores gravity."

Ryder:

(Stepped forward)

"That's not just something. That's the Primeval Universe."

Void ling:

(Sharpening)

"Primeval?"

Blaze Vortex:

(Raising an eyebrow)

"Who are they exactly?"

Ryder:

(Solemnly)

"The Primeval Universe consists Eight beings. Ancient Sovereign. These eight beings, one of them could erase our entire kingdom without raising a hand. These aren't conquerors...they're concepts."

A shimmer of white magic pulsed beside them--Celestina and Seraphina Nyx appeared. And then she spoke.

Seraphina Nyx:

(Softly, stepping closer to Void ling)

"Are you okay? Your energy...it feels tighter."

Void ling:

(Smiled back at Seraphina)

"I'm alright. Just preparing."

Above, was the throne of the Empress Dynasty, Empresss Asuna turned toward her council: Nia, Revy, and Mae. And then she spoke.

Asuna:

(Decisively)

"That energy belongs to the Primeval, it heading to our way."

With arcs of crystalline flight, they vanished and appeared beside Void ling's group. In wave after wave, the empires of the Astral Universe began to converge, All the Kings and Queens began to come. No subordinates are allowed, is only Kings and Queens.

From the Hexagram Apex Kingdom, King Lucio arrived, Genesis Squad Kingdom, King Kaito, The Phantom Alliance Kingdom, King Alvanor, The Chaos Shadows Kingdom, King Julius, And finally from the Phoenix Wrath, Queen Celeste emerged. The stars bent backward. Spacd rippled. And then...they arrived. Eight radiant figures stepped into the Astral Universe. Each carried presence heavier than gravity, older than the concept of time itself. The wind stopped. Emperor Restu Kasumi stood at the center, with this Kings and Queen.

The sky pusled as the eight sovereigns of the Primeval Universe descended. Every kingdom stood assembled within the grand courtyard of the Crimson Kingdom. Winds stilled. A hush settled over the Multiverse. Emperor Restu Kasumi, stepped forward.

Restu Kasumi:

(With serene command)

"Greetings, Empresss Asuna. It is a rare occurrence that brings us here...but gravity of power must answer when ripples threaten the veil."

Asuna:

(Graciously)

"My greetings,Emperor Restu. What brings u and your people in our universe?"

Restu Kasumi:

(Clearly)

"We come as witnesses. The Astral trembles from pressure no longer dormant. The battle of Void ling and Blaze signaled not evolution, but escalation. And escalation...must be observed."

Lucian Nightgale, cloaked in darkness and half--Grinning, titled his head as his gaze locked on a familiar face. And then he spoke.

Lucian Nightgale:

(With quiet amusement)

"Isn't the King Ryder? Still brimming with boldness."

Ryder:

(Dryly)

"King Lucian. Still breathing shadow, I see. Nice cloak. Does it come with instructions?"

Mae:

(Measured tone)

"Emperor Restu, The Supreme Ruler of the Primeval Universe, so glad you are here."

Restu Kasumi raised a hand, a glimmering of patience flickering in gaze. And calmly spoke to Lucian Nightgale.

Restu Kasumi:

(Calmly)

"Lucian, would you allow me to speak uninterrupted?"

Lucian Nightgale:

(Bowing slightly, with respect)

"My apologies, My Emperor."

Rex Noir:

(Smirked)

"That's what you get for talking, Nightgale."

Void ling, who had remained still, now stepped forward, his presence felt across the courtyard like a gravitational pull. And then he spoke.

Void ling:

(Tone sharp and respectful)

"Who are you?"

Restu Kasumi:

(With quiet power)

"I am Restu Kasumi, the Emperor of the Primeval Universe. The one who watches when reality forgets it's being observed."

Blaze Vortex:

(Arms crossed)

"...And now the observers have arrived. So tell me, Restu--are you here to warn us...or join us?"

A sudden burst of colorful chaos shimmered beside him. Arlequina Quiin,her voice twisting with disdain and mirth, stepped forward. And then she spoke.

Arlequina Quiin:

(Extremely serious and annoyed)

"How dare you address the Emperor so casually? You speak to Emperor Restu--not some wandering flame! Show some damn respect!"

Blaze Vortex:

(Defiant)

"And who are you to tell me what to do? You don't earn authority by being loud."

Arlequina's aura flared--waves of spiraling entropy expanding from her body like a storm trying to learn rhythm. Alistair Graylock stepped in swiftly, with a calm gesture

Alistair Graylock:

(Measured)

"Quiin. Breathe. Disrespect is still dialogue. Let this play as it must."

Divinus Luminus:

(Sternly)

"We observe, not provoke. Let pride kneel to clarity."

Thalass Blueheart:

(Thoughtful)

"The ocean never argues with fire--it doused it through understanding. Let them speak. They are not worthy."

Draven Redgrave:

(Smirked)

"Watch your mouth mortal, you are not allow to talk to Arlequina like that."

On the sidelines, Glacior turned to Takashi, his expression tight.

Glacior:

(Quietly)

"That woman...Her aura isn't just unstable--it's immense."

Takashi:

(Quietly)

"She is a Queen, what do you expect, his aura energy is almost as powerful as Empresss Asuna."

Kai:

(Low and shocked)

"Are you serious?, is almost powerful as Empresss Asuna? This is dangerous, if she was to fight toe to toe with Empresss Asuna, the outcome will be stalemate. But considering her aura is the same as the Empress is completely insane."

Asuna:

(To Restu)

"Emperor Restu, they convergence of so many powers cannot of coincidence. What outcome do you seek?"

From across the gathering, King Kaito of the Genesis Squad leaned towards King Alvanor of the Phantom Alliance.

Kaito:

(Curious)

"We may need more than Alliances soon. This isn't diplomacy--it's gravity."

Alvanor:

(Quietly)

"Then let us stand like anchors when the tide crashes."

Queen Celeste moved beside Blaze, her aura radiant and assertive. And then she spoke.

Celeste:

(Firm but kind)

"Blaze...calm down. Not every flame has to scorch. Some must warm."

Void ling:

(Steady)

"Blaze. This isn't war. And we didn't survive extinction to provoke ancient judgment. Let them speak. Let us listen."

The air had settled, but the tension still lingered. Every kingdom stood gathered in unity, yet uncertainty hung in the space between gazes. The sovereigns of the Primeval Universe stood unmoved. Emperor Restu stepped forward once more.

Restu Kasumi:

(Adressing all)

"We came not to threaten, nor to conquer. We came because your Universe has began to stir in ways we have long monitored. Void ling and Blaze Vortex are triggering conditions in space-time that challenge the borders between what is known and what is sealed. Our arrival is a response--not an ultimatum."

Draven Redgrave:

(Arms crossed)

"You've played with power that speaks in languages older than stars. If the Astral Universe breaks those seals...the Primeval Realm will not sit idle."

Rex Noir:

(Quietly)

"One more fracture. One more careless surge. And entropy will no longer ask permission."

Lucian Nightgale:

(Leaning lazily against a column of stone)

"You've earned our attention. The question is...what will you do with it?"

Void ling:

(Stepping forward)

"You say we disturbed balance. But balance is a myth when only ancient names decide what truth looks like. You didn't break reality. We challenged stagnation."

Blaze Vortex:

(Arms crossed)

"Dont blame us for the tremor when it was the cosmos begging to wake up."

Seraphina Nyx:

(Worried)

"But if they see us as the threat...what happens next? Void...Will they attack us?"

Celestina:

(Softly)

"We must hold our ground. But not with fists--with clarity."

Asuna:

(With concern and command)

"You crossed realms to warn us. And yet...you speak like watches preparing judgment. If your arrival is truly cautionary--then help us understand. Don't just loom like fate."

Restu Kasumi:

(Gaze on Void ling and Blaze)

"If you wish to claim you stir not destruction, but evolution...then prove it. I challenge you both. Show me your resolve--not in rebellion, but in understanding. Let power meet power. Let strength speak it's truth."

Gaps rippled through the gathering. Nia, Revy and Mae were shocked and one of them spoke.

Nia:

(Startled)

"What?? A challenge from the Primeval Emperor himself?"

Mae:

(With concern)

"He's serious. His energy signature is already forming..."

Void ling slowly smiled, his aura beginning to rise--no longer aggressive, but focused like a blade being unsheathed with purpose.

Void ling:

(Steady)

"Very well, Emperor Kasumi. We don't run from truth...We rise to meet it."

Blaze Vortex:

(Smiled)

"I see... The Emperor himself wants to fight us. This is gonna be destruction."

Lucian Nightgale:

(Smirked and whispered to himself)

"These boys don't know what they have put them self into.This is gonna be a show down."

Draven Redgrave:

(Sighed and whispered to himself)

"I would rather prefer they fight on an empty far way land rather than to fight here beside the kingdom people."

Seraphina Nyx:

(Extremely worried)

"Hey Celestina, are they gonna be alright, sure they are powerful, but Emperor Restu is a whole different level, just look at his Aura energy, is so immense that I could rip apart the battlefield itself."

Celestina:

(Smiled at Seraphina)

"There is nothing to worry about Seraphina, Those two can definitely handle him. Especially with the powers they got."

THE SHOW DOWN BEGINS!
