GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?



The growl of the demon king reverberated throughout Armageddon and caused the fighters to enter a frenzy for killing. His voice induces wrath. The emotion of anger will rise up unbidden upon whoever hears it and they will lose their minds to it if they indulge. They will fight, fight, and fight until they die. They will continue to fight even when their mind breaks and when they go insane. Wrath doesn't need the best of minds to be realized. It only needs a willing mind and an able body.

The succubus giggled playfully. "What will you do if I don't shut up? Will you stuff my mouth with something big perhaps? I have to tell you that it will take a very big and thick..."

"I see them. They are on the move." Aeternus interrupted before they start fighting.

He can see that the snake demon king is already fuming. Flames are coming out of his nose instead of his mouth. The succubus queen is riling him up and she knows it so he has to be the reasonable one. He drew their attention to the true enemies before they could start fighting each other. 

The Celestials of the plane are finally moving. They had stood above the battlefield like unmovable Tyrants before. But now they are making their moves. It seems like they have had enough of the invasion and want to put an end to it quickly.

The snake demon king turned his attention to the Celestials. His fiery eyes widened a little. He couldn't help but say, "They are going all out too. Why the rush? They aren't even going to test us."

The succubus queen agreed, "It seems that they want to get rid of us very quickly and without any mistake."

All the Celestials are rushing towards them at once. Not one, or two, but all ten of them. They are in a kite formation. They have basically arranged themselves in such a way that they formed a kite but the corners of the square have been tilted to be at the front and back, left and right. Their Celestial Supreme is at the head of this formation. It occupies the corner at the front facing the demons.

The Celestial Supreme of this pantheon is the Celestial of Metal. It is a sphere made out of numerous bent blades and weapons interwoven and forced together. The Celestial Supreme gains a boost when it is the leader of a war party and its followers are also strengthened so it makes sense that it should lead them into battle. 

The Celestials obviously put some thought into their formation. They didn't just let their Celestial Supreme lead them into battle simply because he is the strongest and the leader of the pantheon. They have not let the sin of pride blind them now in such a serious moment.

"That Celestial Supreme is very strong." The succubus queen said with a giggle. "I like a big strong man."

The snake demon king's eyes twitched. It was about to say something when Aeternus interjected. "Yes, he is very strong and very talented."

He has some information about this strong Celestial Supreme. The Celestial of Matal wasn't the first god to become a Celestial, unlike Zernon. It wasn't even the second one either. The first Celestial that the plane produced was the Celestial of War. 

The Celestial of War and Wealth became the Celestial Supreme due to its achievement of being the first Celestial in the whole plane but it lost its title and its life to the Celestial of Metal who was the third Celestial to ascend.

The Celestial of Metal went on to absorb the domain of war, wealth, weapons, and crafts. The domain of war went well with the domain of metal and wealth. War is the highest consumer of metal. War is also the clash of wealth. The richest side acquires the most metal and weapons. Then they win the war. 

The cause of most wars is the conflict for wealth and the accumulation of metal is an indication of wealth. So those three domains went well together. But that wasn't enough for such a genius and ambitious Celestial. It eyed other domains and successfully fused them to raise its existence.

The domain of weapons is the Celestial domain which includes archery, spears, swords, clubs, axes, hatchets, maces, etc. It includes every weapon made of metal. The domain of crafts is the alternative to weapons. Metal can be used for more than just making weapons. It is used to make a whole lot of other things too. 

So the Celestial of Metal has 5 domains and the Celestial Authority making it a level 6 Celestial. That is a very strong Celestial. It is 3 levels more than Zernon of the Zargoth plane. The Celestial of Metal alone is a force to reckon with. Unfortunately for the demon invaders, It is not the only Celestial with multiple domains. 

The Celestial of Nature that is at the very back of their formation also has multiple domains. She is the spherical form composed of vines, leaves, flowers, and the occasional fruit hanging on. It is her original form and it has not been changed despite the absorption of domains of the Hunt, Farming, Seasons, Mountains, and Rivers. She has 5 domains all linked to Nature. 

She has this much because she is the second god to become a Celestial. She has had a lot of time to cultivate her domains. She can choose to fight the Celestial of Metal for the position of Celestial Supreme since they have the same amount of domains but that will be an act of foolishness because she will lose terribly.

She couldn't fight the Celestial of War and Wealth, so it would be ill-advised to fight the one that defeated him. She is currently the oldest god alive but she is also the weakest. That is why she is at the corner that is at the back of the formation. The domain of Nature and its associates are not powerful domains. She wanted to rectify her weakness by absorbing the new Celestial of life that is in the mortal realm in the form of a tree. 6 domains will give her more quantity even if she is lacking in quality.
