Chapter 120 The King of the Stars
Chapter 120 The King of the Stars
The Telepathic Vow
The King? Alpha Thorne repeated in a whispering voice, which showed his shock at seeing the massive glowing being who was bowing on our balcony. He lowered his hand from his sidearm while he stared at the enormous shimmering being who was resting on our balcony.
I looked up at Kade. His neck displayed silvery Star-Metal veins, which pulsed in a rapid rhythm that matched the golden light being emitted from the ancient Star\-Beast's feathers.
Kade's thoughts remained inside his Alpha mind, which he used to perform special mental work with the giant being. His eyes displayed an ocean-blue color, which prevented him from visible distance.
Leo, who was on Kade's shoulders, proceeded to lean forward without any sign of fear. He extended his small hand to touch the cosmic dust that floated down from the beast's enormous crest.
The Star\-Beast's feathers. Kade spoke about Orion in a deep voice, which contained a faint artificial sound of the World Engine. He continued to stare at the creature. "He is one of the Firstborn. The oldest of the celestial guardians placed on this earth by the ancient creators."
"Why is he here? Valda asked while she tightened her grip on her Star-Metal sword. She didn't trust anything that dropped out of the sky, regardless of whether it was bowing. "If he is a guardian, why did he not stop the Void King from opening the Rift?
Valda received his massive golden eyes when Orion turned his head. He made a low sound that vibrated through my body, which caused the glass in the greenhouse to shake.
Kade translated the information to others about the sleeping area of his two sleeping subjects. Kade used his forehead to study the large psychic stream of the creature. "The World Engine served as their command center for operations. The Star-Beasts entered their dormant state when the Engine ceased operations. I used the Engine to control the core powers, which allowed me to wake them.
Kade picked up Leo and placed him down on the ground beside me.
Kade approached the creature that had its massive body bent down. Kade stretched his human left hand toward Orion and touched the Star-Metal surface of his giant beak.
Kade ordered Orion to stand up. Kade spoke with gentle authority to Orion.
The ancient Star\-Beast performed the order. The creature extended its wings to reach their maximum distance while its enormous cosmic wings were pressed against its body.
Kade revealed to me that Elara received his loyalty pledge at her request. The Architect presence in his eyes replaced the initial awe that he displayed. "He came to deliver a warning.
The Cosmic Ripple
Thorne stepped onto the balcony to demand "A warning about what?" "The Syndicates are broken. The Shadow Regent is dead. The Void King's whispers are locked in a box at the bottom of a crater."
Kade explained the situation with these words. "The situation is problematic," he said.
He turned his back to the beast, looking out over the sprawling, fortified walls of Aurora Citadel.
Kade explained that Elara used black ice to make a cage, which caused an anti-creation vacuum. Kade explained the white-gold plate on his chest began to hum with tension. "The Void King was taken by the atmosphere. "THorne through his mouth. The vacuum pulled on both our atmosphere and reality itself. It sent a massive, concussive ripple straight through the cosmos.
I felt a cold dread begin to pool in my stomach. The Rift should have been permanently shut, according to your statement.
Kade confirmed that "the door is locked. The door was locked, but the ripple struck with such force that everybody outside the door could hear its sound.
The creature made another low sound. Orion.
Kade translated the ancient beast's sorrow by explaining that "The Void King lived as a parasite. "Yet he was not the oldest nor the strongest being in the Down-Below. The universe contains older than every existing thing. The universe includes older gods. The universe contains cosmic predators. The universe includes entities that exist in complete darkness beyond the stars.
Kade looked at me, and his ocean-blue eyes projected terrifying fear.
"The World Engine received a ripple from Elara. The impossible occurred to them. "The World Engine isn't a cold, unfeeling, automated machine anymore. It has a biological host. The system now contains an Alpha's soul. The system now contains a Luna and a son. Kade's metallic gauntlet clenched into a fist. "The Architect shows a mortal heart to them. They now understand that the Earth exists in its vulnerable state.
Thorne swore violently under his breath, dragging a hand down his face. "We just finished one war. You're telling me we just painted a giant cosmic target on our backs for an even bigger one? The Earth\-base planetary conflict became a dangerous interplanetary war which changed Earth into a battle base between the two moon bases.
Kade explained "The universe has a new hierarchical system. "The universe has a new hierarchical system. The new King will be tested by them who will try all possible entry methods.
The Astral Spark
A heavy silence fell over the balcony, broken only by the whistling wind and the soft rustling of Orion’s cosmic feathers.
I looked down at my hands.
My magical reserves had become completely empty since I struck the final blow on the anvil of bone in the Wyldwoods. The Fae received my dark lightning. The Fae received my dark lightning. I had burned the last of my traditional Storm magic to temper the dead god’s heart. I had thrown away all my abilities except for my werewolf powers as a Luna who could only use her enhanced strength.
The open atmosphere revealed to me that Orion's wings released a stardust-like particle. The atmosphere has a strange heat, which causes my skin to prickle with unusual sensations.
The environment lacked the electric energy which accompanies an approaching thunderstorm.
The experience felt identical to looking straight at the sun.
Valda asked me "Elara" because she saw that I had become completely motionless. "Are you okay?"
I remained silent while I displayed my hands to others with my palms facing upward.
I closed my eyes and extended my spirit toward the empty space in my soul to reach more power. I reached into the cold, infinite vacuum of space.
The sound of crackle filled the air.
The physical sensation of pure blinding light beginning to shine in my blood existed as a strange sound.
I woke up from my sleep.
The bright blue electricity which used to move between my knuckles now acts as a dark force because of my sorrowful experience with magic.
The substance existed as pure liquid silver.
Brilliant, blinding arcs of starlight crackled between my fingers, humming with a frequency so high and pure it made the Star\-Metal plate on Kade’s chest vibrate in response. The silver lightning created a light which extended beyond the balcony area to produce a perfect bright white light which removed all darkness from the space.
Thorne breathed out the words "By the Goddess" as he stepped backward from his position.
Leo gasped, his eyes wide with wonder. "Mama, you caught a star."
I reached out to touch the silver lightning while sensing how deep and boundless the magical power existed. The power no longer depended on weather conditions. The power no longer depended on humidity or atmospheric electricity.
"The shockwave didn't just change the cosmos," I said while I looked upward at Kade. "It changed me. I created the cage by emptying my cup which became larger than it had been before.
The silver starlight returned to my body through my closed fists while it left me with a powerful warm sensation.
I became more than just the Storm. The entire universe became my existence.
I approached Kade and took his hand while our fingers twisted together above the Star\-Metal plate which rested on his chest. I looked up at Orion, the ancient Star\-Beast, and then out at the sprawling, iron-wrought fortress of Aurora Citadel.
The people will test us according to my command. "We will remain in waiting mode until the dark forces decide to attack our world. "We will use fire to reduce them to ash.
