Infinite Mana in the Apocalypse

The Founder stared coldly as the world around him shook, fissures beginning to spread out as an immensely destructive shattering of a star was about to occur and take the lives of all that lived on the 7th Celestial Star!

The many powerful Grandmasters had sensed the powerful fluctuations seconds ago, but they could not do much besides save their own lives from the force of the coming explosion as those that were powerful enough to react went ahead and reacted.

RUMBLE!

But at this moment, a unique golden glow erupted from the body of the Founder that went on to rapidly cover the destabilized and imploding star, the planet that was heading towards destruction actually being brought to a halt as all movements ceased!

"..."

The many Celestials that felt the aura of death coming for them breathed out as they heard commands ring out in their minds soon after, and they came from a voice that could not be denied!

"Quickly evacuate all forces and treasures."

The first command was given to all the beings in the 7th Celestial Star, another command ringing out to the powerful Grandmasters that resided on this dying Celestial Star as it also spread out to the minds of the presiding Celestial Grandmasters on the rest of the remaining Celestial Stars.

"Deploy sentries to spread out their aura over the entirety of all Celestial Stars. If they feel the intrusion of anything that should not be there, act to destroy and call for reinforcements right away if it cannot be handled."

The apathetic face of the founder released numerous telepathic commands as his eyes held a trace of anger, overlooking the destroyed golden cage where a prisoner used to be as he released numerous commands to make sure that nothing like what occurred would repeat again.

The defenses of the many Celestial Stars would be fortified even further after this, not even a rat being able to escape through the auras of Celestials that would be rotated to observe every corner of the Celestial Stars 24/7!

The immense essence that released from the Founder continued to keep the dying star that had lost its core together as the Celestials were evacuated, numerous Warships leaving the planet as it only took minutes for the powerful Celestials to get everyone and everything valuable off of this star.

At this point, the golden glow the Founder released receded into his body as the dying planet trembled again, streams of lava seen erupting soon thereafter as immense heat energy from the unstable core of the world was freely contracting and expanding, an explosion at the level of supernova forming as one could observe large cracks appear on the Celestial Star if they were looking from the void of space!

The Founder actually remained still in the underground area of this star where much of the force was gathering, his figure stable amidst the chaos as he wanted to ingrain this image into his mind. His robes fluttered as they were the only thing moved by the destructive energies, his body remaining unbothered by the force of the exploding star.

CRACK! CRACK!

The cracks only continued as the force of the star folded onto itself before it rapidly exploded outwards, releasing waves of destructive energies that could be felt by all the Celestials that were either floating far away in the void of space or in numerous Warships.

"..."

Silence erupted out as bursts of wrath and anger filled the minds of the Inhabitants of the dead star, their hearts feeling pain as they watched the place where some of them had spent hundreds of years in be taken away in a flash!

In the middle of the debris and the center point of the explosion, one could notice the unbothered figure of the Founder floating peacefully as he glanced at the pieces of the shattered star, numerous thoughts swirling in his mind as his apathetic expression remained the same. Numerous lines of fate swirled towards him as he had just saved and changed the fates of many beings, his image shining resplendently amidst the destruction.

'You want to play like that? I'll play like that.'

A deadly thought filled with anger passed through the mind of the Founder, his emotions actually being moved for the first time ever as the event which had occurred now involved a being he used to call a friend, someone he could not bear to bring himself to kill and had locked away in the 7th Celestial Star.

Yet, he remembered the distinct face of the same Infernal Lord that had appeared before him not too long ago appear again, and this time he took something that actually had a level of care in his heart, and right in front of him at that!

It was a face that actually looked at him without an ounce of fear or respect, their eyes that locked gazes in the millisecond before the teleportation showing the Founder the attitude of this being as he marked him for death right away.

His figure began gaining a luminous glow as the millions of angry Celestials focused on the being that had saved them, the Ruler of the organization that held full control of the Light Expanse and was now on track to expand his rule. The voice of this Founder rang out in the void of space as he looked around at the beings full of anger.

"This is the type of future we can look forward to if we leave the Dark Expanse alone."

RUMBLE!

Waves of power traveled with his voice as this message was not just being passed to the nearby watching Celestials that used to reside on the 7th Celestial Star, but a video feed of the destroyed star was being shown to all the Celestials in the numerous Celestial Stars in the Light Expanse as well as the Celestial Realm, his voice reaching the ears of all that needed to hear his message!

"It is lawlessness, chaos, and disorder. As practitioners of Fate, it is our duty to bring order and balance across our Novus Galaxy and bring a stop to such chaos that the savages dwelling within cause!"

OOOOH!

Rousing shouts erupted out as the hearts of the inhabitants of the 7th Celestial Star especially felt strong emotions, their hatred and resolve for the coming war only being steeled as time passed.

In the perspective of these beings, they were practicing a Supreme Law to bring order into the Universe, and they just saw first hand the need for their power and conquest over the Novus Galaxy as their own home was attacked and destroyed by the beings called savages!

Those watching also felt the strong emotions as hatred and alienation continued to develop, the feelings of war only expanding as the words of the Founder rang out in their minds.

"This is why we go to War. Not because we want to, but because we need to! It is for Order and Balance."

OOOOH!

"For Order!"

"For Balance!"

RUMBLE!

Waves of fate rolled out as the significance of the releasing of a certain prisoner and the destruction of a star spread out, the Founder doing what he did best as he led his people and used the chance to reinforce and steel their resolve for the atrocities that would soon be committed at the level not seen before!
