397: Historic Tale

Historic Tale

( 5000 years ago- at the end of the Chaos Era - the ancient battlefield ) 2

5 warriors faced off against one another in the ancient battlefield to conclude the mega war that had engulfed the entire universe. 

These were the five warriors who had broken past the shackles of tier8 and had the power of a pseudo tier9 celestial, each wielding a tier10 treasure. 

They were the five absolute strongest amongst the most powerful god's in the entire universe, but alas fate made it so that only one of them could become a true full celestial and escape to the higher realm. 

Ever since the 10 universal treasures were thrown down from the celestial world to the mortal universe, the darkest period of war and instability embroiled the universe as blinded by greed and power, every god fought for these treasures to have the opportunity to step up to the grandest stage. 

The participants of this mega fight were : 

The god of fire 'Agni'

The god of wind 'Vayu' 

The god of Illusions 'Maya'

The god of thunder ' Indra 

The Sun god ' Surya ' 

At his peak, Agni was so powerful that with a single attack he could incinerate entire planets, labelled as the ' Most Destructive God ' he was an extremely feared opponent. 

The wind god was said to be untouchable. His agility was so high that it was rumoured that nobody had been able to land a single scratch on his body throughout the chaos era, and battles with him were known for their prolonged nature that heavily depleted one's stamina. 

The Sun God Surya was a tempered fighter who only fought for justice and the betterment of the universe. His only ambition to participate in this grand fight was to become a celestial and put an end to the tyranny of the other god's while ensuring that his descendants the Suryavanshi Clan became the de facto rulers of the universe. 

The god of thunder Indra was the god of heaven before the chaos war and was widely regarded as the strongest god of the universe. 

His preferred choice of weapon was the 'Vajra', a medium which helped him channel his lightning powers, while his choice of mount was the mythical white elephant who was a tier8 creature himself. 

The god of illusions, Maya was someone who nobody anticipated to be at this fight stage, he was not strong like the others, even his most destructive attacks could barely destroy a city, however, the mind games he played made him the most detested opponent amongst all five. 

For 14 days and 14 nights, the five of them had an intense battle that completely ravaged the entire ancient battlefield. The fight between them seemed to be approaching nowhere as despite the heavy fighting, nobody seemed to have been pushed to their limits. 

To break the stalemate Maya suggested a temporary truce to Agni and Vayu. 

In a temporary truce, Maya wanted Agni and Vayu to become his muscle power as he trapped Indra and Surya in his illusionary world for them to kill them off. 

The fire god and the wind god agreed and entered the illusionary world where Maya had trapped Indra and Surya, but as the four of them faced each other inside the illusionary world they quickly realised that Maya had been playing both sides. 

The same offer that the god of illusions had proposed to Agni and Vayu he had also done to Indra and Surya, as playing both sides he sealed them in the illusion world. 

The seal he placed on them was peculiar, it did not allow their physical bodies to escape, but allowed their spiritual bodies to leave.

For 100 years the four god's tried to force their way out of the seal, before their powers began to wane and they were forced to make tough choices. 

Fusing their souls and remnant wills with their favourite weapons, they used the power of the tier10 treasures to enhance the grade of the weapons to reach that of a true tier9 stage before scattering them throughout the universe in hopes that someday, someone worthy enough would collect all fragments of that weapon and help them avenge Maya's betrayal. 

Although they were not sure if their physical bodies would live to see the day or not, they were sure they would hold out for as long as it was godly possible.

( 5000 years later - Drax ) 

Drax was the A.I. which was mixed with Agni's remnant will. 

Despite the long separation it remembered its creators' last words as clear as day, and was waiting for the day he could oversee Max's development to kill Maya. 

Initially, it was never supposed to fuse with a tier0 trash like Max. 

Anyone coming into contact with the Agni-Astra was supposed to die a horrible death if Drax did not judge them to be worthy enough, however, since Max was a manaless trash, the bracelet was unable to kill him with the remnant fire god's mana which was lethal to anyone under tier6. 

In the most weird turn of events, Drax was forced to fuse with Max and patiently wait till he developed enough to shoulder the responsibility of Agni's revenge, but while the start of their relationship was absurd, overtime Drax had grown fond of the boy. 

In no way shape or form was Max perfect, but Drax had seen the boy grow with his own eyes from the stumbling bumbling teenager to a true ferocious warrior. 

Everyday that Max fought in the mirror world, Drax could not help but be amazed at his skills which would even put the god Agni to shame at the same tier, as slowly but surely Drax became convinced that someday Max was going to be able to shoulder the responsibility of the fire god's revenge. 

At first that day seemed to be in the distant future, but with Max's rapid development, Drax believed that he might hit tier6 in the next 5 years, after which he could finally reveal the secret of the death of the mighty fire god.
