Chapter 1017: Throne Of Stars

The size of an infant Calamity God may vary, but when asleep, their entire bulk would be spread for hundreds, even thousands of miles.

The Calamity God below Hope Continent was on the larger size, and it had been stirring for a while. The last time it opened its senses to the world, it was many minor Eras past, and its threshold for the amount of damages taken had long been exceeded. When the decision to awake was reached by it, from a state of deep sleep to awakening, it was instant.

The Calamity God had no eyes, yet it could see everything, it had no mouth or lungs, but its cries of awakening thundered for a million miles. The surrounding seas for countless miles turned to blood and pus. Every living creature in the sea was transformed or they perished.

The few creatures in the ocean that survived, rose to become twisted monsters, and a billion mouths opened and screamed in adulation of an awakening of a Calamity God.

The battle between the Ascendant Explorer had reshaped the earth for thousands of miles, and this was in a higher dimensional world, where its laws and structure were far more powerful, in an ordinary universe, the power from their blows would have ended a thousand galaxies.

This sort of battle in this corner of the world was uncommon. Ascendants rarely walked among the lower continents, even Deific Explorers would not come to these places. Noah Rithmast saw a great deal, and that was the reason he came to this location, and now it had become the site of a battle that was shifting the direction of this world.

The seas for thousands of miles had dried up, exposing the bedrock at the bottom of the ocean where light had not reached for countless Eons. Through the cracks in the ground, it was possible to see the flesh of the Calamity God, and in the instant it awakened, the sky turned red and yellow, and the earth exploded, as the surrounding flowing sea turned thick like mud when they transformed into blood and pus.

Then the dimensional entities may have affected this world in a startling manner, but the Calamity God was the child of this world, and its cries evoked its entire power.

The explosion of the earth was not a simple eruption, it matched nearly all the power produced throughout the entire clash between the Ascendants and the Serpents. Billions of tonnes of lava, and other earthly minerals shot out from the ground, reaching nearly a hundred and twenty miles into the air. It was as if a volcano that measured the size of a Minor World erupted.

A few moments before the battle began as their warships surrounded the crater of the New Hope continent, none of the Ascendants had expected that there would be such great changes in the events that ensued.

From the loss of every single Explorer with them to the explosion of the Null Charges, the strange and powerful serpent entities who could process Chaotic Aura without any waste, and finally culminating in the awakening of the Calamity God, no one here had expected these series of events.

They had been skirting along the jaws of death for a while now, and only chance had kept them alive. As far as they could tell, they had not even reached the baseline for the Calamity God to even stir from its slumber, and with this awakening, they knew that whatever miracle that had kept them alive all this while was over.

The instant the earth exploded, the Left Hand of God collected all the Ascendants and its fingers clenched themselves, making a fist. This was its defensive mode, as the Warship weathered the violent undulations, heat, and pressure that came from the unreasonable explosion. Darkness and fire covered everything, despite that calamitous explosion, the loud cries of the Calamity God could be clearly heard.

Inside the Left Hand Of God, there were now seven Ascendants, the last Ascendants who were charged with taking care of all operations of one of the most important treasures of the Council of Nine, and the true leader of the expedition, calmly spoke,

"The Calamity God had awakened, and we would not be surviving what is to come. Everything that has been happening here has been forwarded to the Council. You have all done well."

The exploding earth, carrying flames and darkness suddenly paused in the air as if time had gone still, and suddenly it vanished as the eyes of the Calamity God opened.

The Left Hand of God did not last a few seconds after the Calamity God created its eye, like the earth, it was also wiped out. The Ascendant Explorers all perished in an instant.

The Calamity God was no longer in the earth, the exploding ground was the result of a creature with a body mass that could be measured in the billions of tonnes and beyond pushed away from the earth.

It rose up into the heavens and looked below, a being of countless tentacles and darkness that covered the earth for thousands of miles.

Its gaze destroyed the world, reducing everything to nothingness, and then its cries went silent and the Calamity God hovered alone in the heavens, and below it was nothing but darkness.

With the power of the World Will inside a young Calamity God, awakening it was similar to challenging the world itself, and its cries of rage were the same as the world's.

The Calamity God looked around a bit confused, although ancient, it mostly survived using its instinct, and lashing out was a way to erase whatever had caused it great hurt, and according to the memories in its blood, nothing should survive its awakening, but the earth below was not empty, and the pain it was feeling inside of itself had not ended, it was growing.

In the earth below, there was nothing, no matter, not even space remained, just a void, but the void was not empty, a golden river flowed, and in its center was a purple cube.

The golden river began to vibrate and bubble, and from its mysterious chanting began to emerge. The Calamity God knew that something was not right, and it released its cries again, decimating space until the golden river began to vanish under its relentless onslaught, but its cries of rage were transformed into one of pain when a portion of its body containing thousands of tentacles exploded, and for a brief moment, inside the wound was moving form that dug its way deeper into the body of the Calamity God.

The Calamity God went insane and began digging into its body with its tentacles, finally realizing the source of its pain.

This made it ignore the pool of gold that was slowly solidifying below, and if it had looked down, it would have seen the golden pool smoothen to become something like a mirror, and in that mirror was a man with long hair like diamonds who sat on a throne made from stars, with his eyes closed.

Behind the throne, wings of flames began to arise, and they were countless.
