Chapter 2: THE CATACLYSM. part 2

ASURA INVASION

For countless millennia, the Asuras had been banished from the realm of Earth, confined to the darkest corners of the cosmos by the divine force field. These malevolent beings, born of chaos and darkness, had long harbored a deep hatred for the Devas who had exiled them. They had spent eons waiting, watching, and biding their time, nurturing their desire for revenge. Now, with the force field weakened, their time had come.

The first signs of the Asura invasion were subtle, almost imperceptible amidst the chaos of the cataclysm. Strange phenomena began to occur around the rifts in the force field—shadows that moved of their own accord, whispers that could be heard on the wind, and a sense of foreboding that settled over the land. But these were merely the harbingers of a much greater threat.

As the rifts widened, the Asuras began their descent upon Earth. They came in waves, pouring through the tears in reality like a flood of darkness. The skies were filled with their war cries, a terrifying cacophony that echoed across the planet. These were no ordinary invaders—they were beings of immense power, forged in the crucible of the infernal realms. Their forms were twisted and grotesque, their eyes burning with an unholy light.

The Asuras were not alone. They brought with them legions of monstrous creatures, abominations that defied all known laws of nature. These beasts, born of darkness and chaos, were bred for one purpose: destruction. They tore through the weakened cities with savage fury, leaving nothing but death and devastation in their wake. Entire armies were wiped out in minutes, unable to withstand the onslaught of these nightmarish beings.

The Asuras themselves were beings of immense power, their strength far beyond that of any mortal. Some were giants, towering over the tallest buildings, their skin as hard as iron and their breath as hot as fire. Others were smaller, but no less deadly, their bodies crackling with dark energy that could incinerate anything in its path. They wielded weapons forged in the deepest pits of the infernal realms—blades that could cut through steel, hammers that could shatter mountains, and spears that could pierce the heavens.

But the Asuras were not just mindless brutes. They were cunning and intelligent, with a deep understanding of dark magic. They used their knowledge of the arcane to manipulate the elements, summoning storms of fire and ice, and bending the very fabric of reality to their will. They unleashed curses and plagues upon the land, turning the very air into poison and the water into blood. The world was plunged into darkness, as the Asuras sought to annihilate everything the Devas had ever touched.

Humanity was unprepared for the full force of the Asura invasion. The initial cataclysm had left the world in disarray, with governments and armies struggling to cope with the aftermath. Now, faced with an enemy unlike any they had ever encountered, humanity's defenses crumbled. The Asuras laid waste to the greatest cities of the world, reducing them to smoldering ruins. The air was thick with the stench of death, and the skies were filled with the smoke of burning cities.

In the midst of this chaos, the Devas watched from their celestial realms, their hearts heavy with sorrow. They had placed the force field around Earth to protect humanity from the Asuras, but now that it was broken, their hands were tied. The rules of the cosmos forbade them from intervening directly in the affairs of mortals. To do so would upset the delicate balance of the universe and risk plunging all of creation into chaos.

But all hope was not lost. The activation of the Rudraksha had also awakened ancient powers that had long lain dormant within the Earth. The relics of the 12 Jyotirlingas and the 51 Shakti Peethas, sacred sites that had once been the focus of worship and devotion, now pulsed with new energy. These relics, infused with the divine power of the Devas, began to awaken, responding to the threat posed by the Asuras.

The activation of these relics introduced a new system to the world—a system of summoning and cultivation through yoga. This system was a gift from the Devas to humanity, a means by which they could fight back against the Asuras. Those who could harness this power became Summoners, individuals capable of calling upon the strength of warriors from parallel worlds where the ancient practices of body forging through yoga had been perfected.

These summoned beings were no ordinary humans. They were warriors of immense strength and power, forged in worlds where the art of yoga had been taken to its peak and combined in fighting. Some were barbarian chieftains, their bodies as hard as steel and their minds as sharp as blades. Others were archers of unparalleled skill, able to strike a target from miles away with unerring accuracy. There were horsemen who could ride through the fiercest storms without flinching, and witches who wielded the elements as easily as they breathed. There were sages who had attained enlightenment, and sadhus who had transcended the physical realm altogether.

These summoned beings were immortal in this world, meaning they cannot die permanently but can be incapacitated and will require a cooldown period before being summoned again.

As summoners grow stronger, they can summon more warriors and from more powerful realm.
