The story begins with a terrible battle that broke out in the Reveiverse, a battle made by Nielan, the Head Ruler of the War Faction. This battle was made to dethrone Krelious, the Head Ruler of all. During the time of the war in the Reveiverse, the battle became so intense that billions of planets were destroyed and consumed. The Reveiverse itself now stood on the brink of destruction. If nothing was done, the battle stood a chance of spreading into the other Verses.
With this understanding in mind, the Creation Rulers decided to wipe out the Reveiverse completely. But to their surprise, the War Rulers intervened, an intervention that was never supposed to be. This caused a huge dispute between both factions, which ultimately led to gods and beings of other Verses rebelling.
Being aware of the doom these problems could bring, the High Head Krelious called for a meeting of peace between the two factions and the gods of the Reveiverse to solve the ongoing war. Although nothing was done to Verses that were planning to rebel against the Rulers immediately, because they did not see them as a threat, the Rulers sent out their assassins to destroy any potential threat to them secretly.
The meeting of peace was held on Rockol 6, the Cronoverse Judgement Council on Mak 3 Day 008. The gods of the Reveiverse were present, including the heads and guardians of other Verses. With everyone present, the meeting began with Krelious making a statement.
"If the Reveiverse refuses to end their ongoing war against each other, they will witness the destruction of everything, including themselves," Krelious said.
The Judge spoke next, "Please step forward and give your statement, Head God of the Reveiverse, Carel."
Carel stepped forward and began, "I deeply appreciate our High Head and every other Ruler here for coming to our aid through this meeting. The war going on right now in the Reveiverse is not between us gods. We are being attacked by unknown chaos, that's what we call them. They look partially like demons, act like beasts, and possess the cunning knowledge of gods. They suddenly appeared out of nowhere 100 years ago. We thought we destroyed them all, but somehow a few managed to escape our swords."
Krelious asked, "Then how are they almost breaking the reality of the Reveiverse apart?"
Carel replied, "They quickly came back again after the 100 years had passed during the Convex of Gods. They came both in strength and numbers that cannot be measured. We have sent out almost every god, guardian, and even the Dark Warriors without any left to spare. We also sent out 30 million troops, and more than half have either been killed or injured beyond saving."
Krelious turned to Zion and asked, "What he says, is it true?"
Zion nodded, "Yes, High Head. All is as he said. We also saw the destruction that these creatures will bring and decided to eliminate them all. But Nielan and his faction intervened when they fully knew of the oaths that bind us as Rulers."
Nielan stood up, his voice filled with anger, "You lie, Zion! You and your stupid faction wanted to erase the Reveiverse from reality completely. We just stopped you."
Zion shot back, "You did that because the war and chaos grant you all more power, you stupid War Ruler."
Nielan sneered, "That's not what we're saying, Zion. We were ready to handle the situation if it got out of hand. That's what we do as the War Faction."
Nealon intervened, "Enough, both of you! And Nielan, the High Head was speaking to Zion. Don't interfere again."
Nielan's voice rose, "We are not of the same strength, Nealon. Mind your tone when speaking to me, because I'm the Head Ruler of the War Faction, and you are second only to the High Head in terms of seat."
Krelious slammed his fist, "Silent, all of you! Carel, please continue your statement."
Carel bowed his head, "Thank you, High Head. The unknown chaos don't only kill, they also drain out every inch of divine power from every god, guardian, and warrior in order to get stronger. Our children, wives, and families have also met their end at the hands of these creatures. Equally, billions of planets and thousands of Goldon have been destroyed and consumed. And we have confirmed that indeed this chaos came from here, the Cronoverse."
The moment Carel said this, noise began in the halls for some time. Nealon raised his voice, "Please, let everywhere remain silent."
After hearing this word from the Ruler, everyone kept silent. Krelious asked Carel, "Tell me why you believe that the chaos came from here."
Carel replied, "...I mean no disrespect, High Head, but there are rumors that say the War Faction created this chaos, and were unable to put them under control due to their destructive nature. So the only solution was to dump their garbage somewhere it will not be noticed for some years."
Krelious raised an eyebrow, "There are other weak Verses, they could have sent them there, why yours then?"
Nielan stood up again, his face twisted in anger, "This is an accusation against the War Faction! I will not be accused of something that is already becoming a threat to us all."
Zielan spoke up, "Stay silent, Nielan, and let Carel defend his statement."
Nielan scoffed, "Tch."
Carel continued, "Thank you, my Rulers. As we all know, the Domainverse is not a Verse that can be easily penetrated. It's the only Verse that has established its hierarchy and it is also the second most powerful Verse after the Cronoverse, while we, the Reveiverse, come in as third place. The Starverse takes the fifth position, while the Multiverse takes the sixth position, and finally the Universe comes in as the seventh position. From the Starverse down to the Universe, their gods are nowhere stronger than us, even after millions of years have gone by. While the Domainverse cannot be entered into without approval from their Kings, so for those creatures to enter into the Domainverse, you need to either forcefully break their barrier over the Verse or at least receive the permission of two of their Kings before entering. And if the barrier of the Domainverse is broken, which can only be done by you Rulers, it will mean war for both Verses without any waste of time, and it also means the destruction of every other Verse."
Krelious nodded thoughtfully, "We have reached a decision, Carel. We will eliminate the chaos with haste before they bring more disaster, and we will look into your statement to see if what you accused the War Faction of is true. Nielan, for your sake, I do hope your faction is not guilty of these accusations."
Carel bowed, "Thank you, Rulers. And please, with your permission, I beg to take my leave now, my Lord, for my people need me."
Krelious nodded, "Go ahead, Carel."
Nielan's eyes flashed with anger as he stood up and questioned Krelious, "Krelious, you will believe a lowly god like him over your own house?"
Nealon's face turned red with rage, "How dare you, Nielan! Why would you call the High Head by his true name? You have already broken our first oath as Rulers, and now you have broken the second one. Your sins are already counting."
Dainen snorted, "Hmph, look at who's talking. We made those oaths, we can as well break them. We have been silent for far too long, Krelious, and you used that to make us look like fools. Gods are supposed to tremble before us Rulers, for we are the embodiment of power, destruction, and creation, a cycle that can never be broken. And yet here we have been sitting idle for millions of years, living like dead beings, no war, no chaos, no destruction, nothing but peace throughout all the Verses."
Zion spoke up, "We haven't yet dismissed other gods and deities present, and here we are disrespecting our name in their presence. Is this how you disrespect our oaths, Nielan? The same oath that has brought nothing but peace and prosperity unto all. You should know that nothing ever comes out of destruction. You should know better. Now quit it with this disgraceful act and plead for mercy or suffer the consequences in due time."
The tension in the room was palpable as the Rulers and gods glared at each other, the fate of the Reveiverse and the entire Cronoverse hanging precariously in the balance.
The room fell silent, with all eyes on Nielan and Krelious. The air was thick with tension, and the weight of the Rulers' words hung heavy. Nielan's anger seemed to simmer just below the surface, while Krelious's expression remained calm and collected.
Dainen's words still lingered in the air, a challenge to Krelious's leadership and a declaration of the War Faction's desire for power and chaos. Zion's rebuke of Nielan's actions seemed to fall on deaf ears, as the War Ruler's defiance only grew.
As the silence stretched on, it seemed that the very fate of the multiverse hung in the balance. Would Krelious assert his authority and quash the growing rebellion, or would Nielan's ambition tear the fragile peace apart?
The gods and deities present watched with bated breath, knowing that the consequences of this confrontation would be felt across the vast expanse of the Cronoverse. The Reveiverse's fate, and that of countless other worlds, hung precariously in the balance.
And then, without warning, Krelious spoke, his voice calm and authoritative. "Enough. This meeting is not a platform for personal agendas or power struggles. We have a common enemy to defeat, and that is the chaos that threatens our very existence. Let us focus on the task at hand, and put aside our differences for the sake of the Reveiverse."
The room seemed to hold its breath as Nielan's gaze locked onto Krelious, his eyes burning with intensity. For a moment, it seemed that he would defy the High Head's words, but then, with a subtle nod, he seemed to acquiesce.
The tension in the room began to dissipate, replaced by a sense of cautious optimism. Perhaps, just perhaps, the Rulers and gods could put aside their differences and work together to defeat the chaos that threatened their worlds.
But as the meeting drew to a close, one question remained: what secrets lay hidden behind Nielan's eyes, and what would he do next?
