Chapter 8 - *From the Past: Part Four*

*Revival of the Giants*

At the fallen city of the giants, the city leaders gathered in the city's underground vault with elite city guard protecting the 'Soul Cradle',

"Listen if anything comes through that door, kill it", ordered the head city leader, Xiao Yi. The hordes of shadow demons attacked, destroying everything in their path, laying waste to the city.

"Worthless", said the mysterious man, looking at the people scrambling for their lives.

"", said the mysterious man using his unique eye spell to search for the vault, "Ahh, there you are", said he as he found them and flashed there.

The city leaders and guards were deadlocked, "Stand your ground, don't give up, we will defend it until our dying breath", shouted Xiao Yi to lift the spirits of the men.

As they stood, the door shattered, and the mysterious man walked in, looking at them. "Really, you can't stop what's going to happen, old men," he said with a smile, and then started to attack them.

{Eternal Capital of Esnor}

As Arceus was walking toward the chamber exit he noticed that someone was watching and moving outside and he started walking into the clear,

"Now this is troublesome", said he to himself, "What would you be doing here?", and proceeded to flash behind the intruder,

"What impossible?", said the man as he flashed away trying to escape, "You're not getting away that easily", said Arceus with a sarcastic smile and chased the man.

As Arceus chased him he swiftly turned around to shoot a beam of energy toward Arceus and fled but Arceus just flew straight through it and flashed in front of him instantly and knocked him down to the ground with one punch, straight to the chest and flashed again to grab his throat and pinned him down on the ground,

"What are you doing here, sneaking around?", asked Arceus, and looked at his neck and saw a familiar mark.

A group of soldiers who noticed the fight came hurrying, "My lord?", Arceus told them to arrest him and take him to Zhu'an.

As they entered Zhu'an's private office they made the man kneel and Zhu'an dismissed the soldiers. "Now tell me what you are doing in my kingdom, familiar", asked Zhu'an, intimidating, but the man refused to talk. Then, Zhu'an proceeded to torture him by projecting his inner force using his energy, wrapping it around the man, and suffocating him.

After some time, Zhu'an let it loose and asked again, "What are you doing here and what is your plan for sneaking in my kingdom?", Zhu'an proceeded to stand up, walking closer to the man. The man then smiled and said, "We are but servants of our master", said he with a grim smile.

"What master?", asked Arceus curiously.

"The one of flame and fire, darkness and evil you cannot stop it when they are revived then we will be one step closer to our master's return and the your world will burn once again as He is awakened the darkness will begin", said he laughing and with a flash of light stopped, Zhu'an had sliced his body in half, using his mere inner force.

"Really father we could have gotten more information", said Arceus, disappointed.

"There's nothing he could tell that I already know, alert the other rulers to prepare their armies", said Zhu'an before a soldier rushed in, "Your majesty, the Phoenix realm has fallen", said the soldier, trembling with fear, and both Zhu'an and Arceus were shocked.

"How is that possible?" asked Zhu'an, confused.

Arceus then flashed off immediately. 

{City of Giants}

In the vault, the mysterious man defeated all the guards and the city leaders. "How weak thinking you could stop me, a servant of the evil one", said the mysterious man, "The evil one, so you work for him, you traitor", said Xiao Yi, and the man knocked him out with his energy. "Finally, we can begin, Hhmm", said the man, feeling that an Eternal Legion was coming and flashed away.

The Eternal Legion arrived.

"How is this possible? An entire city destroyed?" said the fifth Eldar, Luo Feng. "We have come too late", said Su Ying, the fourth Eldar. "Men treat all the wounded people", she ordered. "Yes, madam", said everyone.

As they were treating everyone, a few shadow demons came out of nowhere. "How insolent", said she, and performed a spell that incinerated them instantly.

"Wow, incredible, I want to become an Eldar too", said a small child sitting with her mother getting treated. "No, you can't. The Eldar is not what they seem. I suggest you stay away from that path", said her mother, and her smile turned into a frown.

Luo Feng then headed to the vault to find Xiao Yi sitting upright, "My lord they have taken it there is no stopping them now", said he out of breath and with a look of fear in his eyes as if the his whole world had collapsed, "Don't worry we will take care of them, let them heal you first and you will be escorted to the Eternal Capital", said Luo Feng calmly and he then ordered someone to inform the emperor.

With the fighting in the City of Giants over, a new battle is about to begin.

{Celestial Realm}

The two mysterious men appeared in a desert-like place somewhere in the Celestial realm. "Finally, you made it, did you get it?" the one asked. "Yes, don't underestimate me", he said confidently, "Let's begin".

They then proceeded to activate a spell array that covered the entire land, and all the realms started to shake and tremble. The Celestial father sitting in his office felt the trembling, "My Lord, do you…", said his Head eunuch, "That is coming from the Celestial wasteland", said the Celestial father with a look of fear, and immediately ordered the eunuch to order his generals to ready the Celestial armies and prepare to head out.

{Heavenly Palace}

The Heavenly emperor was standing on his terrace looking into the deep vastness of space, when he felt the Immortal realm trembling, "This is…", said he and looked up, "Heavenly Emperor, shall I…", asked his eunuch worried, "No", answered he and continued to look up into space.

"Your Majesty, the Eternal Emperor has…" said the eunuch, trying to convince the Immortal Emperor, "That's his choice, I will not risk Immortal lives for something not tied to us", replied he sternly with a voice of discontent.

"Yes, sorry, Heavenly Emperor," said the eunuch.

{Eternal Palace}

"Your majesty, this is probably coming from that place", said the fleet admiral Xu Shanggun, with a tone of calmness, looking in that direction.

The emperor then looked out on his terrace, "Father", said Xu Fung, serious, "Ready the Imperial Legion", ordered Zhu'an, having already heard the plan of the enemy.

{Celestial Wasteland}

The two men watched as the array activated, and as they waited, the Celestial armies arrived. The two men then looked at each other, "We must let the array fully activate, so go and distract them", said the one, and the other one then flashed in front of the Celestial army.

"Okay, I will play with you", he said and again opened a portal with hordes of shadow demons passing through.

 Before anything could be said an All-out war was happening, and the Celestial father was about to head to the battlefield, "Father, I will go with you", said the Crown prince of the Celestial realm Jun Hyun, "No you must stay here in case the capital is attacked and also to secure the safety of the royal bloodline", said the Celestial father and patted him on the shoulder and then flashed away, Hyunjun looking on with a face of concern.

On the battlefield, the celestial forces were starting to gain the upper hand. The mysterious man, seeing this, then opened even bigger portals, and out came even larger giant demons (Daisan) that killed many soldiers as they rampaged through the celestial lines.

As the celestial army now struggled, they were disassembled and slaughtered by the arrival of the Daisan. Just as the celestial army was losing ground the Celestial father arrive and used a spell to kill some the large demons, "", said he creating an intense wave of blue fire that burn most of large demons, "That should do it for now", said he, "Generals, listen to my order follow me to stop the array", ordered he and everyone moved forward into a charge towards the array.

As they rushed, the array burst into a wave of energy that engulfed the entire land, and it started to shake. The ground started to rip open, creating a canyon of dark abyss, and out of the rip came huge hands that came across the battlefield, then massive beings with a height of 50ft and taller rose from the canyon, "This is bad, we're too late", said the one celestial general as they stood up from the blast.

"No, we're not done yet, hold out and defend the people of the celestial realm", shouted he (Celestial Father) valiantly.

"You can try all you want, old man. The giants have awakened. This is the end of the Celestial realm, you are doomed now", said the mysterious man, and the Celestial father looked on over his forces that were being slaughtered by the giants that had risen.

He then flew up into the sky, "", shouted he as he created an array in the sky that started to rain down massive energy balls that shot like arrows down to the ground that took down multiple of the smaller giants, "Why this old man", said the mysterious man and flashed to the Celestial father to attack him from behind with his sword and forced the King to defend deactivating his array. They fought in the sky, and the giants continued to attack the celestial army.

"How are we going to stop the array?" asked one of the generals, Xin Jin, before he was attacked by the other mysterious man.

"", said another mysterious man appearing out of nowhere, attacking from the back, and the Celestial father dodged it. "Go sustain the array, I'll take care of him", said the mysterious man to the other one. The Celestial father then pulled an arrow from his energy in his hand and shot at the man going to the array.

The other mysterious man tried stopping it, but it was at his own risk, and it ripped his hood off his head, revealing his face. "It's you", said the Celestial father, and saw his face, which had a scar over his left eye.

"Ke'er, I thought…", said the Celestial father before being interrupted.

"Dead", said he and continued to attack the Celestial father.

"", shouted he, creating a huge beam of dark energy that scattered and came at the Celestial father from all sides, "", said the Celestial father, creating a ball of energy around him to protect him from the barrage of attacks.

"Come on, 'Jun Hun Hyun' show me your legendary Celestial Peacock core", he shouted as he continued his attack, "I will destroy everything you build from the corpses of my parents", he said, enraged with madness.

{Heavenly Palace}

"Heavenly Emperor, are you not going to send help?", asked the Heavenly Empress Mu Yian.

"No, Zhu'an will probably go help; the fall of the Celestial realm has nothing to do with us", said the Heavenly Emperor Mu Tian and looked up at space because he could sense the fighting in the Celestial realm.

As he was staring into the space, his son entered, "Father, I heard we are not going to help, why not?", asked the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Realm Mu Yuxuan, confused.

"People are dying", said he, angry, but his father ignored him, and he stormed out.

"This is not a Heavenly matter, so we will not interfere", said Mu Tian sternly.

"Rely on my order if anyone goes to help the Celestial realm, they will be executed", he said furiously.
