The tide of the war turned when Samantha Spellcaster, the Head Chief of the Portal Development Department (PDD) of the Flying Empire, was seduced by the words of the four Gods of nature.
She snuck into the Palace of Darkness during the attack and took out Sealed Artifact: Forbidden #1.
It was said to be mentioned in countless tales.
Legends have it that it was the source of Alkheim's power.
Samantha Spellcaster has always felt hungry for power.
It's because she was born with genetic defects that rendered her unable to sense, manipulate, or control energy. Despite this, Alkheim recognized her exceptional intelligence and potential during his travels, and he took her from the slums to Celestia, where he provided for her and taught her. He bestowed upon her a fortune that no mortal could ever dream of and even found ways to extend her life.
Under his guidance, Samantha flourished, exceeding all expectations and impressing the masses with her talent.
However, Samantha always felt that Alkheim was taking unfair advantage of her. She believed that her abilities were meant for herself, not for the world. He was using her to make the world a better place where only the strong were respected. It was a world that was unfair to her.
She resented the fact that she was not strong enough to break a twig, and her hatred only increased when she learned that she couldn't be with Alkheim as only Female Sirens, who were the embodiment of perfection and the like, were deemed worthy of being his empress.
She loved Alkheim so much that she was obsessed with him, but she kept these feelings hidden, as she feared that he would reprimand her or push her away if he learned about her feeling.
More than that, It was her inferiority complex that stopped her from being honest. She felt unworthy of loving her.
To become worthy of him, she unsealed Forbidden #1.
When the gods provided Samantha with a way to become Alkheim's equal, she did not hesitate to take it. However, she did not realize that her actions would lead to the destruction of everything and everyone she held dear!
In her misguided attempt to prove herself worthy of Alkheim's affection, Samantha Spellcaster unknowingly unleashed chaos upon the Flying Empire by opening a portal to the Chaos Realm. This decision had devastating consequences as hordes of chaotic beings, including Chaos Lords and Chaos Emperors, emerged from the portal and invaded the inner capital of the empire.
The gods' sinister plan was revealed - they aimed to destroy the entire world to prevent Alkheim from ascending to heaven. The people revered and respected him, and even the devils bowed down to his might. It was this adoration that allowed Alkheim to attain godhood. But if those very people and devils were wiped out, his godhood would crumble, and he would lose his chance to ascend.
The Divine Realms of the Gods were separated from the Thousand Great Worlds. So they wouldn't be affected even if the chaotic beings invaded them.
In light of this, the Four Gods of Nature were nothing more than savage beasts willing to destroy a thousand worlds to serve their selfish purposes. The consequences of Samantha's actions were grave, and the empire, as well as the Thousand Great Worlds, were under the threat of destruction.
Alkheim refused to let it happen. He possessed unparalleled knowledge of the Forbidden Artifact #1 and was the only one who could prevent the worst-case scenario. Despite the grave danger it posed to his life, he courageously volunteered to seal the portal within the Palace of Darkness. The Four Holy Families, led by their powerful leaders - the Sun Giant, the Water Celestial, the Crimson Dragon, and the Night Reaper - valiantly held off the gods and their armies while Alkheim raced towards Celestia.
Upon his arrival at the Palace of Darkness, the deadly fumes of chaotic energy had already claimed thousands of lives, and Samantha, his beloved protégé, was teetering on the brink of death.
The sight of her brought him immense anguish, for he had nurtured and cared for her as if she were his own daughter. Despite the overwhelming evidence suggesting that she was responsible for the destruction and the unsealing of the Forbidden Artifact #1, his emotions clouded his judgment, and he placed her in the Heavenly Cosmic Coffin to preserve her life.
Unfortunately, he was left without a life-preserving artifact himself as he valiantly fought off the invaders and saved as many lives as possible.
Alkheim proved to be a formidable opponent against the Chaos Lords and Emperors, who were just as powerful as the gods themselves. He single-handedly slew them all, leaving behind a trail of toxic blood that dyed the entire flying empire black. But victory came at a great cost. His nascent godhood was shattered, his Supreme Immortal body was on the brink of decay, and his True Eternal Soul was on the verge of being extinguished.
In a final act of selflessness, Alkheim sacrificed himself to close the portal and sever the only connection the Chaos Realm had with the Thousand Great Worlds. His heroic act saved countless lives, but it came at the ultimate price - his own life. His body vanished without a trace, and his soul was scattered across the universe.
The Flying Empire was left uninhabitable by the toxic fumes of chaotic energy that had permeated the air.
The gods continued their relentless assault, leaving the Four Holy Families with no choice but to evacuate to the land of the Celestials, Dragons, and Hell.
The Water Spirits and Female Sirens returned to the Land of the Celestial, while the Fire Dragons went back to the Realm of Dragons. The Night Reapers returned to Hell, but the Sun Giants had no homeland to return to, as the gods had taken over their mainland.
The Celestials, Dragons, and Reapers of the three realms generously invited them to their realms, where their strength was considered invaluable.
