Alliance

Dios convened a council composed of rulers from the higher realms, each chosen for their unique expertise and suitability for specific responsibilities. Morgath and Orion were designated as the principal guardians of the realms. Under the sagacious leadership of Dios, their formidable strengths were honed to an exceptional degree, ensuring the maintenance of peace and order across the disparate worlds. Electra Vortex, entrusted with overseeing development and technological advancements, swiftly earned Dios’s profound trust. Within the span of a single year, she revolutionized inter-realm progress by introducing cutting-edge machinery that leaped forward into a new era. She was also appointed head of the equipment manufacturing division for the military forces, overseeing the creation of state-of-the-art gear.

Arcantor Xarion, captivated by the visionary ideals espoused by Dios, made a pilgrimage to Celestra following the formation of the alliance. Upon his arrival, Arcantor was deeply impressed by Dios’s philosophy and expressed a fervent desire to serve by his side. With an earnest plea, he requested to be included in Dios's personal task force. Dios, taken aback yet visibly pleased by the request, utilized the 'Aletheia Insight'(one of his nine abilities , allows Dios to tell whether someone is lying or not ) for the very first and last time to verify the sincerity of Arcantor's words. Reassured of their authenticity, Dios said;

"To attain this role, you must first prove your worth."

Arcantor asked "What task would you have me undertake to prove my worth?"

Before Dios was able to say anything Mark Lucious interfered and said ;

"My Lord, for which role do you seek to test this wizard?"

"My young Mark, I am considering appointing him as the Holy Knight, for none have taken up that role in the last hundred years."said Dios.

"But my Lord, Mathilda and I have stood by your side for the longest time. Why, then, do you need a Holy Knight? And if such a knight is truly required, we should be the rightful candidates for the position, not some outsider."  furiously pledged Mark.

(After the ruler /king the second in command is the Holy Knight)

Dios angrily said "I alone hold the right to make that choice, and you are in no position to dictate what I should or should not do, whom I shall choose and whom I shall not. I hold you in great respect, young Mark, but you are overstepping your boundaries. You dare to call this man an outsider—have you no honor left, to address a guest with such disrespect? I am ashamed to call you my right hand."

...

Dios calmed down and said ;

"If you consider yourself so worthy, then how about a battle with this wizard for the highest of all positions in the realm, Mark? Should you win, I shall promote both you and Mathilda as Holy Knights. But if he prevails, you both shall serve under him in the special task force. I offer you this chance to prove your worth."

" I , Mark Lucios , the Marshal of Cyroin Sect , shall fight Arcantor Xarion to prove my worth to my lord ." Mark said.

"As I expected Mark ." Dios said with an enjoyable grin on his face .

Dios looked at Arcantor and asked ;

"Are you prepared for this battle? as this is the sole opportunity for you to prove your talent"

"May I request something?" asked Arcantor .

Dios said with curiosity "and what might that be?"

"I would like to fight the marshal of Oculis Order, Mathilda Brown at the same time ." Arcantor answered .

"You arrogant wizard." shouted Mark.

"How intriguing."  Dios said with an ammusing tone.

"As you wish." siad Dios.

Mark siad "My lord ! bu..."

"no 'buts' Mark" said Dios.

"Understood , My lord."  Mark siad with rage .

Mathilda Brown was summoned shortly thereafter, and the details were relayed to her in the interim. Surprisingly, she appeared overjoyed, despite her longstanding hatred for magicians. She envisioned humiliating Arcantor on the battlefield after her victory. Before long, the battle was set to commence.Mark and Mathilda,with hatred and jealousy, determined to assert their superiority, advanced towards Arcantor with unwavering resolve. However, as they closed in, Arcantor unleashed a spell:

"Chains of Elysian Love, Wraiths of Unease, by the decree of 'Yami', I invoke the Shackles of Hatred forged in the accursed hearts. Bound by the Eternal Night’s Embrace, I render your movements immobile, sealing your fate with the cosmic chains of divine retribution."   (Yami is a book of Eldoria written by Arcantor , consist of most dangerous and difficult magic spells)

The earth beneath them quaked violently as chains from the underworld emerged, ensnaring Mark and Mathilda with an inescapable grip, rendering them immobile. The confrontation was decisively concluded before it even truly began. Dios, overjoyed by the swift resolution, congratulated Arcantor with the holy sword'Kami no Kiba'(the Blade of the Divine), a symbol of divine favor and power. From that moment forward, Arcantor solidified his role as 'Dios’s Holy Knight' and became his    most devoted servant , working together to forge a path toward enlightenment, unifying the realms in the pursuit of justice, peace, and love .Dios was very polite and non-hostile towards common civilians, no matter the world. Despite having the authority to command Arcantor, he humbly requested him to release the humans and let them free. Arcantor agreed and set the humans free. Soon, Electra Vortex, along with her team, introduced teleporters that made traveling from one world to another a matter of minutes. These teleporters required a small amount of mana for teleportation . With this invention, all kinds of different species gradually came to know each other. New bonds were made, and in no time, everything seemed beautiful. It was obvious that not everyone was happy with this sudden alliance, but it was okay.

Years passed. Electra and Morgath died, and Orion was on his deathbed. Only Arcantor was in his prime state because of magic and the long life of Eldorian people. After living this long, he claimed the titles The Sword of Dios and Demonic Angel due to his strong sense of justice and frightening methods, and because of his utmost loyalty towards Dios. After the death of Orion, there were some commotions, but everything went smoothly under Arcantor's watch until one night when Arcantor came to Dios and said:

"My lord!!!"

"Yes..." Dios said softly.

Arcantor began to gather every ounce of mana, magic, and spirit into his sword.

Dios noticed it, and gently turned around , Arcantor moved closer to him , Dios said with a heartbroken tone ;

"Forgive me, Arc..."

*slash*

Dios felt a deep cut on his chest as blood began to spill.As he looked into Arcantor's eyes, he offered a bittersweet smile, his face revealing a deep, sorrowful acceptance, before collapsing onto the ground.. Arcantor did not stop there , he knew that the only way to kill Dios was to pierce his heart but his heart was bounded by  the indestructable layers of hardened blood created by Dios's Ketsugan(one of the nine tecniques possessed by Dios , allows him to manipulate blood)Arcantor relentlessly continued his assault on Dios, delivering exactly 99 powerful slashes to his chest. Each strike cut through layer after layer of flesh, until finally all the layers were taken down, Arcantor thrust his hand into the gaping wound, seizing Dios’s still-warm, beating heart. With a grim resolve, he pulled the heart out and crushed it within his grasp. The room was drenched in a shower of Dios’s blood, and Arcantor’s face was ful of it . His eyes, devoid of life, bore a haunting emptiness. Despite the gravity of his actions, he wore a teary grin, his hands trembling with profound anguish...Soon after that, Arcantor killed every celestial being present on Celestra and sealed the gate connecting Celestra to other realms. To this day, the gate of Celestra is visible in the sky, but no one can pass through it as no one is able to break through the seal that was set by the King of Magic himself.

"But how in the world was Arcantor able to kill Mr. Dios in the first place?" said Yuuske.

"It's written in this book , the one I read had a slightly  different tale." Satoshi said.

"So you mean these are nothing but stories?"Yuuske said

"Well I don't go that far , but I guess none of these history books have accurate lore of the past." Satoshi answered.

"Let's assume this one just now was the actual one, so then what to you think happened to Arcantor after that?" Yuuske asked with curiosity.

"According to some ancient legends, he is still alive and living in Celestra alone," Satoshi said.

"It must have been hard living alone alone all these years ." Yuuske said sadly.

"Yu, I guess that's it for the day also I have to leave now  to meet your father .He is going to announce something at the world's national press conference ."said Satoshi

.(the world's national council f refers to a council formed by members of remaining realms , consists strong ability holders , strategists across realms , politicians, etc)

"Okay then, give my regards to Dad and good luck." said Yuuske.

"by by Yu , see you soon ."  said Satoshi.

"Yeah see you soon" Said Yuuske.

  Foot Notes:

(Ketsugan :To use Ketsugan, Dios must first consume a drop of the blood he wishes to manipulate. Once he has done so, he can command this blood with astounding precision. The manipulation is not limited to mere control; Dios can transform the blood into various forms and uses. For instance, he can harden it into solid structures, reshape it into different shapes, or even extend it as tentacles or ropes. In combat, he might form the blood into a deadly sword or a spear, even creating internal weapons within his victims’ bodies, making it an extremely dangerous and versatile ability.
