I.. Am God?

Several seconds later, Henry's mouth gaped wide open when he saw what was in front of him. A long and wide stone hall was presented to him, supported by stone. The room also has all of its corners filled with treasures and equipment, making Henry dumbfounded.

There were antique weapons, gold and silver coins dating back to the Third Kingdom thousands of years ago, jewelries, and thousands of things more.

If this were ever seen by the people of the outside world, especially the Church of Masis, they would do all that it takes to seize everything from them

The hall was filled with things that would make even the richest of the rich drool with envy. In the center of it all, however, was an ancient tome that was sealed with a wax seal with unrecognisable characters surrounding it.

Walking somberly towards the tome, Henry looked at his father who was gazing at the book as if he was facing either the devil or his creator. When he arrived in front of the book, the father unsheathed a golden knife with three jewels on its handguard.

The father gripped the knife solemnly before using it to slowly strip the wax seal on the tome.

Shudder!

Immediately after the seal was removed, the atmosphere in the hall grew increasingly heavy, as if just the existence of the book alone places the burden of duty on them.

"The last time that this was opened was 17 years ago. At the same time, the last member of the Solas Family perished."

"Mother was this last descendant, right? Then what about me?" Henry asked his father while thinking that he was adopted.

"You are your mother's son, that I assure you." His father smiled slightly before adding, "But your bloodline isn't of the Solas Family's nor the Lux Clan's."

"How is that even possible?" Henry wanted to laugh as he tried to understand the ridiculousness of his father's antics. But..

"I'm not joking." His father replied with a straight face, "Your mother knew that the end was near. To save you, she conjured the power of this item, severing your bloodline and fate from the Solas and Lux Lineages."

"And by doing so, she died.." Henry isn't dumb. By putting all of what his father said altogether, he easily realized everything.

"What even is this cursed tome?" Now that he knew that the tome was the object that was used to kill her mother, he couldn't even try walking towards the book without feeling disgust.

"Exolvuntur Alheimurinn." His father answered. As he said that, he opened the book with great solemnity. The pressure that was bearing on them intensified once more as soon as the pages were shown again to the world. Within it were different occult-like spells and incantations that greatly defies the laws of science and the Church.

"You know, before your mother passed, she gave me tasks for raising you." Muttering, his father smiled, reminiscing of his past. Despite the great pressure that was being released by the Exolvuntur Alheimurinn, the smile on his face couldn't be wiped out while thinking of his wife.

"She told me to teach you the Solas Battle Art, which you enhanced to a higher level. She also told me to teach you knowledge that would help you see the world in a different perspective without hinting your connection to the two lineages."

"And now," his father then lifted the book and extended it towards Henry, "It is my due responsibility to hand the book over to you at the advent of Neamhord."

"Neamhord?"

"The first sign of its arrival; The Fall of The Silver Star." His father said in a serious manner, "According to the prophecy, Calamity rises at the fall of the Silver Star."

In Divine Heaven..

"Our Lord of The Highest Majesty, we have been receiving pleas of help all across the dominion." Inside a pristine heavenly palace, beings of eternal divinity gathered like a court as they all faced the highest throne of all.

Evident on the expressions of the beings' faces are worry and somberness as they let the previous being speak.

"It seems that a particular event has been happening all across the universe, with their stars dimming or even disappearing in the morning sky."

"Discord has fallen upon mortalkind and even the immortal worlds. For now, we have dispatched the Ourani of the Fifth Rim to guide and help them weather this phenomenon. But, sooner or later, they would surely go back in the arms of Chaos once more."

(A/N: Ourani (plural) or Ouranos (singular) would be the word that would replace all the terms for angels of the different spheres.)

"Your Highest Majesty, we ask for your guidance!"

"Your Highest Majesty, we ask for your guidance!"

"Your Highest Majesty, we humbly ask for your guidance!"

For a while, the man cloaked in divine light that was seated on the throne stayed silent. Then..

"Investigate the reason for this upheaval. I think this isn't as simple as we're thinking. Until the investigation is undergoing, all the Ourani of the Third Rim and above must withdraw from the universe pronto."

Shock!

The Ourani inside the palace were shocked with their monarch's order. Backing out from the universe would mean that the supply of Faith would be cut off and would instead go to the local heavens of the individual worlds, meaning that it would be a huge loss to Divine Heaven.

"Your Highest Majesty, are you sure about this deci–" Boom!

"You dare question His Highest Majesty's decision?!" Below the Heavenly Throne, an elegant and intellectual two-winged Ouranos censured coldly. His voice echoed throughout the palace, invoking a sense of dread within the other Ourani.

"Stand down, Cane." The man seated on the throne spoke with an indifferent tone. "Six centuries ago, the heavens engaged in a battle to unite all under one entity; The Divine Emperor. The loss that it caused to Heaven has just been replenished and we most certainly do not want any loss to occur once again."

"With the plethora of unexplainable phenomena happening, Heaven must be placed under a strict order that not only preserves our power for an unexpected enemy, but would also still be able to help the believers of mortalkind."

"For now, the First and Second Rims would be responsible for helping the Universe. We must consolidate Heaven's strength to take action at any possible moment that might lead to an extinction level apocalypse that would affect all of existence."

After saying that, the man waved his hand of light, causing the disappearance of all the Ourani except for those directly below him.

For a minute, the interior of the palace stayed silent before the man slowly descended in a majestic manner, with the light covering his body sliding off of him.

"Crowned Prince, I must say that you handled the Heavenly Nobles in a pretty convincing way." Cane smiled at the man, or Alexander, who sighed resignedly.

"Don't worry, Your Grace." Cane said comfortingly, "His Highest Majesty has sent a message that he would be returning soon, as he had already discovered something about the anomalies that are happening all across the cosmos."

Alexander could only nod before returning to the Heavenly Throne, answering the pleas and calls of other Ourani.

Within the centuries, Alexander has already been honed by Matthias in managing Heaven, considering that he is a Creator that must create the cosmos and would not be always present to handle the affairs of Divine Heaven.

In those years, Alexander had already become the second-in-command of the entire Royal Family, and inferior only to the Heavenly Duke of the Divine Kingdom and the Divine Empress in authority, with his position even recognized by the former subjects of the Heavenly Sacred Empire.

Days passed without any significant problems. Suddenly, the void fluctuated as Matthias suddenly appeared out of nowhere, wearing worn-out clothes.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." As soon as he saw him appear, Cane immediately rushed forward and knelt in front of his presence.

On the Heavenly Throne, Alexander also descended and knelt to greet, "Welcome back, Divine Father."

"At ease." The two stood up as he signaled them. Looking at Matthias, Cane narrowed his eyes, "What have you discovered in your travels, Your Majesty?" He asked.

"Not good." Matthias replied, which shocked the advisor and the Crowned Prince.

"What do you mean, Father?" Alexander asked worriedly. His Father rarely claims things as such. But since he said this, then that could only mean that there is a very complicated problem at hand.

"Various cataclysms have been engulfing the entire universe, and some worlds have already fallen under the cataclysmic onslaught." Matthias said grimly, "The death toll has already surpassed the limit that the Underworld can take, resulting in spirits wandering around aimlessly on the material world."

"What?!"

"Chaos is rising." Matthias announced with a serious look. "I want the entire Heaven to prepare for war at any given moment."

"The local heavens must also be placed under our immediate rule to at least satisfy some of the needs that the mortals ask."
