Chapter 250 - Who are you, really?
Celestial Drax was moving through the trembling Devilish Abode with confusion and doubt. From the fluctuations of space, he could observe that this Devilish Abode did not have too long before it folded in itself and collapsed!
But this did not make sense, as it would make his mission unachievable. His master would never hand him a mission he could not accomplish, so there was a swirl of confusing thoughts as he wagered whether to teleport out of this space and abandon his mission of looking for the Cursed Item.
The Punisher by his side stood strong as his power was ready to burst out at any moment. Drax was about to give the command to continue searching the abode a bit longer, when another command traveled through space and struck his head as fast as lightning.
OONG
"Come back!"
Golden fluctuations erupted as a thin light of light descended down the young Celestial’s head and he received his head. He was shocked to hear his master’s voice ring out with such sternness, and did not waste a single second a golden light wrapped both him and the punisher, their figures turning into golden particles of light as they disappeared.
They both appeared on a location known by very few not too far from the World of Cultivation where a vibrant blue gateway was standing vibrantly. The young Celestial Drax pulled out a medallion that activated the mechanism, allowing both him and the Punisher to be sent to the location they called home.
In the peacefully rotating star that was one of the core bases of the Celestials, the young Celestial Disciple appeared before his master again as he sank to his kneed right away.
"I have failed my task, Grandmaster!"
He kept his head low as he atoned for not achieving what he was assigned to do, while the Grandmaster in front of him looked forward with a mysterious expression.
"Someone has interfered with the workings of fate."
Shocking words were the only thing the young Celestial heard as what he heard shook him to his core! An interference with the workings of fate? That was something that very few could do!
The words of his master continued to pass through his mind as his heart trembled at the thought of their significance. A rise of a new Infernal Lord! This was a terrifying thought, as even the current ones that were active in the Realms of Hell were tyrannical beings that only brought destruction to anything they set their eyes to.
To prevent the rise of any new Infernal Lords, there was a commitment among many of the major powers in the Universe to routinely conduct a dangerous Infernal Hunt in the First Realm of Hell where almost all the current Infernal Lords had their beginnings.
He had never gotten the chance to go to one before, but this chance had been moved up by a whole century because of the alteration of fate. His mind thought back to the World of Cultivation that he had just left, as he looked forward more than ever to get back to it. Chaotic undercurrents were beginning to flow slowly, and he would be one of those at the very center of it!
Celestial Drax’s gaze was strong and confident as he took his leave from the monastery to prepare.
The Grandmaster looked at this disciple as his dangerous eyes flashed with golden light, his gaze turning to the skies as he pierced through the layers of space and observed a world quite a distance away.
’Which imbecile would interfere with fate at such a crucial juncture?’
Many thoughts and possibilities passed through the mind of the Grandmaster as he thought of the Cursed Item that would have served to bring even more order in the Universe, and this item being lost in the wind once more.
’Hmph, no matter what schemes are concocted in the dark, what are they but mere distractions when it comes to our power?’
A golden light of confidence shone throughout the monastery as the Grandmaster thought this simple thought, the surroundings releasing a burst of essence and glowing gold as if agreeing to his thoughts!
Confidence!
Utter and absolute confidence!
This was a sort of confidence that only came to those who believe in the surety of their power as the existence of the stars in the stellar space.
’Any who try to destroy Order will fall, this time will not be any different.’
The Grandmaster took his radiant Watering Can that released a rainbow-colored liquid filled with an overabundance of essence as he went back to watering the numerous Medicinal Plants peacefully, a scene of peace playing out on one of the Celestial Stars.
