?1147 Blow By Blow.
"It seems we must go to war." He said to them.
"Go ahead. Do your worst." They said fearlessly, "Just know that we will retaliate in kind. You will have no place in this plane."
The tree father stopped holding back. He has been cautious because he doesn't know anything about them but that is out the window now. The knowledge that this is all of the Origin gods will have to be good enough for him.
So he consumed the divine energy of order and the sun according to his divine Will by the empowerment of his divine power. His divine power easily overrode the resistance of the law matrix since he is in his domain so his divine will was made manifest.
Several stars suddenly appeared around them. They were created with only divine energy. They are large spherical objects that shine like stars. They are also not harmless like stars. The origin gods can tell that much.
The spherical objects produce light because of the presence of the divine energy of the sun. They can feel the amount of energy within each star too. It is a lot. The situation doesn't look promising since the stars have cannons that are pointed at them.
As if that wasn't enough, all the pyramids all over the kingdom were activated too. Their tops began to glow brightly. They too are accumulating massive amounts of energy which they will release at a thought from the god-king.
The god of knowledge warned him, "You do not want to do this."
She is wrong. He in fact wants to do this and has been looking forward to it ever since he noticed the blank area in his senses. All he wanted to confirm is that these were their only Origin gods and that they were the ones responsible for the spies. Her warning went to waste on him now that he is sure that a third party is not involved in this.
He gave the go-ahead. His Authority ignited the weapons and the world turned white immediately. Bright and thick yellow beams of energy shot out from the pyramids in large numbers toward the origin gods from every direction. The death stars in the sky also released the same laser attacks.
The attacks were as fast as light so they couldn't be dodged. The Origin gods were bombarded and torn apart by the power. Each body part of theirs that was touched simply turned to dust. Even their defenses were not spared. The lasers penetrated them easily.
Their concept couldn't protect them against the Authority of a Celestial so it was a massacre. But the massacre didn't occur without retaliation. The origin god of darkness activated the bombs immediately. The thousands of pillars of darkness in the plane expanded and swallowed the kingdom. They covered more than 50% of the plane.
The Origin god said, "You will regret this."
If they explode now it is not an understatement to say that they will level the kingdom. But the tree father wasn't concerned. It will be a massive loss but it is one that he is ready to suffer.
Someone advised the Origin god of darkness, "Target his body."
They know that these apparitions that they are fighting are not his true body. They will deal a massive blow to his source of faith if they damage his kingdom but they will damage more than his source of faith if they target his body.
They might even be able to kill him so the Origin god of darkness agreed. He made the marks leave their host and fly into the air. They became dark moths that flew towards the large tree at the center of the kingdom.
The tree father couldn't stand and watch anymore. It is not that he is pretending that the tree is his main body but he can't have his connection to this plane severed so he roused his divine power.
A lake of golden fire appeared around the massive tree. It formed a barrier that could both attack and defend him. The fire burned the black moths as they tried to rush through it. The violent reaction between the lake of fire and the marks created explosions in the sky.
He sneered at the gods, "You shouldn't have been greedy. Now you gain nothing."
The explosions depleted a lot of his divine energy but it didn't damage him or the kingdom. But the Origin gods were not disappointed.
Some of them roared in encouragement, "Continue to fight. We can exhaust him with a little more effort."
One of the advantages that Celestials have over other gods is that they can store an infinite amount of divine energy. So the older a Celestial is, the more difficult it is to kill them. Their many years of accumulation will make them formidable.
But the god king has not been a Celestial for up to 2,000 years and they have caused him to use a lot of divine energy to defend his main body. They didn't have a high hope of defeating him in a single fight before, but that has changed now.
The origin gods resisted with renewed Vigor. They know they might die but they want to make their death count. They roared in anger and overturned the world. Origin energy gushed out of them like a tide.
Even though they can't infuse their attacks with soul force due to the suppression of the realm, the law matrix still went into overdrive trying to make their will a reality because of their numbers. Fire burned everywhere. Water gushed and ripped everything apart. Lightning boomed. Light flashed. It was quite an impressive sight. But it only that because no real damage was done.
The tree father used his apparitions and divine power to form a barrier around the Origin gods. The barrier separated them from the rest of the kingdom. All their attacks couldn't get past the barrier while his own attacks could reach them. But he had to spend a lot of divine energy to resist the attacks.
