They called themselves the xeridians. They mostly resembled human only that they had glazed skin and purple eyes. They were much taller and more built than humans. Their regular militants which the humans categorized as acolytes were much stronger than regular awakened. They had red skin .
The lieutenants had deep red skin and had the power between ascended and apex level beings. The majors had white skin, they were categorized as suppressors, The generals had black skin and had the power of transcendence level beings and the last were the 9 elders they had gold skin and were at the level of supreme being.
3 decades ago at the edge of galaxy Stellar Nexus (human conquered Galaxy), on a high tier futuristic planet named Helios. 100 spaceships and a mothership huge like a country appeared on planet Helios . The people were panicking. The planet were owned by the all powerful axion guild .
of course immediately the transcendence beings responded to the threat coupled with numerous ascended, apex and suppressors. Awakened will only just serve as cannon fodder so they helped the civilians get to safety.
The xeridians appeared out of space portals more advanced than the humans. The reason axion guild knew the space ships were a threat was because they knew no other guild would dare barge into one of their most high valued planet like that. There were about 100 transcendence beings on ground so who would dare.
First the 9 elders with gold skin and wearing arcane armour appeared. They were followed by dozens of black skinned warriors also wearing armour and battle weapons.They were the generals."Humans surrender yourself and follow our path we promise to rule you with just, but you shall destroy your false idols and worship the only God" The leading elder who looked to be a male said.
These caused anger to the humans especially the axion family who were proud. How dare they tell them to surrender. Present on the planet was axions heir who had just became a supreme being. His father placed him here to monitor things on this planet.
The young lad burst into a streak of light and appeared 1 mile away from the elders . His lightening aura was violent and could destroy a whole continent if he waved his hands. That was the power of a transcendence level being.
After a few moments of silence he said . "No how will I sam axion bow down to you, arrange the ships and prepare for battle" his voice boomed almost shattering the eardrums of the civilians.
"fine have it your way we give you 2 days to prepare" the leading elder said. Sam frowned as he called back his men. following the two days the war broke out. beams flew in the sky space ships outside helios dodging and shooting down one another. the battle was intense and brutal . within a month planet Helios was flattened .
Billions of civilians died. only about 2 billion people including axion guild and numerous powerful people escaped on one of the axions mothership. Of course the escapade was filled with battle after battle across space.
Unfortunately Sam axion to whom humans called their hero died in battle. He fought 3 elders and was severely injured. But he died after giving an elder a life threatening injury.
After they escaped, not only axion but all of humanity were enraged. The 10 powerful guilds including the military beat back the invaders. The war lasted 20 years .
The more the war was going on the more humans technology became more advanced. During the war at least 3 trillion people lost their lives while 60 percent were civilians. Even the xeridians suffered greatly losing 800 billion of it troops. It was known as the war of the black death.
Although the xeridians had impregnable defense on their galaxy named elyrian starweave . Their troops on the attacking side were severely weakened . So the xeridians retreated after forming a peace pact. At first the axions disagreed but when they made calculations they saw that they couldn't last for another 2 years.
Then they made a deal all formerly seized planets are to be returned back to humans. Also the two won't enter each other's galaxy, Anyone who breaks the rules are to be killed with no mercy.
Finally the human returned to peace. planet Helios futuristic City was rebuilt under 5 years was now a home planet of 300 billion people. Galaxy stellar Nexus defenses had also increased. But still the military and other guilds agreed on rebuilding the army.
They developed AI (artificial intelligence), robotic warriors capable of killing an acolyte xeridian, mech suits armoured suited space ships with powerful weapons mounted on it. They also discovered a mineral called delirium. it was much stronger than the steel powered by beast soul core. It was comparable to a sacred soul armour.
These minerals were found on numerous astroids found billions of miles in the east of galaxy Stellar Nexus. Each astroid was as big as mountain Everest. There were thousands of them scattered about like dust.
With the new mineral although it was hard to forge was able to make the space ships armour more formidable. Not only that the minerals exhibit aura that could be used as powerful energy beams.
After refining their weapons the military multiplied, more and more young awakened joined . The military had about 500 military schools which trained millions of young awakened.
Ethan was planing on joining one of the military school in his past life. But because he didn't meet the requirements he was not admitted. The requirements were usually strict . Of course the 500 military schools were top notch. Each school were headed by generals who were powerful transcendence being.
