In the real world. The moment Aeternus returned from Limbo.
His shattered bones began to vibrate as soon as his soul returned to the world. They became restless black shards of bone and they remained so until a golden crown appeared around the red chaotic flames of Accumulation in the place where the broken pieces of his skull are.
ραпdα Йᴏνêl(сòm) The tiny flame reacted to the crown as soon as it appeared. It blossomed and expanded in size as if it were exploding. Then it shrunk down after its expansion and solidified into a red crystal flame, permanent and unchanging. The red crystal flame hung in the middle of the crown while letting out a reddish glow. The reddish glow expanded and also solidified to form a cocoon around Aeternus's broken body.
Aeternus began to evolve within the cocoon after he finished the selection of abilities. Threads of energy sprouted from the golden crown and wound around each piece of his shattered bones. Then the threads put the pieces together and wound them like threads holding pieces of fabric together. His bones became whole again albeit cracked all over. Even his two horns have been attached to his skull.
Next, the golden threads fused with the black bones and healed the bones in the process. The threads disappeared and left behind a completely healed black skeleton with golden and slightly enlarged bones. The red cocoon surrounding Aeternus began to recede after the change. It shrank and clung to the golden skeleton. It formed the muscles on the bones. A crystal-like reddish flesh covered the golden bones and it formed red tips on the golden horns protruding from his skull.
With Aeternus's divine body fully formed, his soul woke up. The golden crown on the head of the skull left the red crystal and entered the skull. The skull lit up with golden light and the sockets showed brightly with the light. Then his skull began burning black flames that sprouted from his scalp to form his hair. The same black flames sprouted from his back to form two black wings.
He sighed and said, "I have awoken."
His sigh and his voice echoed throughout the plane like a whisper. Mortals heard it and wondered if they were hearing things. It invoked thoughts of suicide within them. A voice that is making them feel like killing themselves feels more like an internal voice than an external voice. They disregarded it as they have always disregarded their suicidal thoughts. But the gods heard it and shivered. It is as if they have heard the roar of a predator. In this case, the gods are rats that just heard the meow of a cat.
The Celestial Supreme's POV
The Celestial Supreme became even more agitated. He had expected a demon king to attack the divine plane, but what happened is actually more than he expected. It is not the first time he was wrong and it probably won't be the last time.
He had been waiting cautiously and preserving his force for the attack of a demon king. But somehow that demon that pretended to be a high-rank demon is actually a demon king. He isn't even surprised anymore that they found a way to fool the detection system of the divine plane and allow a demon king to pass by undetected. They also managed to bypass the divine plane so why not fool the detection system too?
"They planned that too. It all finally makes sense." He lamented.
The development made him realize a lot of things. Their deception of the threat level of the demons will ensure that he wouldn't try absolutely everything possible regardless of the cost to stop a high-rank demon from invading the mortal realm. It also makes sense that the demon that they will allow into the mortal realm will be their heaviest hitter.
He had always wondered why a high-rank demon attacked first and bypassed the divine plane instead of the demon lord or a demon king. He also suspected that the fight between Helios and the demon lord is just a show to lull him into a false sense of safety. It turned out that he was right about that. Helios didn't kill the demon lord, he took the body and brought it to the mortal realm. Helios must just be returning a loyal servant to their master. It finally makes sense why a group of demon dukes will be following a high-rank demon.
He received a communication request as he was thinking about what to do in retaliation. It was from the god of fate. He accepted the request and they became connected. The face of the god of faith appeared in his vision. The lazy god is still relaxing on his ocean of threads.
The god of faith asked him languidly. "Hey, did I just hear a demon king?"
Zernon became irritated immediately. His irritation showed in his tone when he asked, "What's it to you?"
The god of faith began to make fun of him. "How did you fuck things up so badly? I knew you were a bonehead but to allow a demon king into the mortal realm is just dumb. Have you no common sense? I had..."
Zernon interrupted. "I am very busy right now. I don't have time for chitchat. What do you want?"
"I want to offer you my help. You are out of your depth and you could use the help of a Celestial. How about you break the non-interference contract?"
"No way. Goodbye." He replied and shut off the communication immediately.
His preferred number for something is 1 and 0. There used to be 1 Celestial, and 101 gods. Of which 0 gods are from other races. All the gods were from 1 race. But now, there are 4 Celestials and 102 gods. Of which the gods are from 2 types of races, giants, and plants. His beautiful order has been destroyed by 2 and 4. He has to live with the existence of the extra Celestials, for now, that's why he hasn't tried to eliminate them yet.
