I.. Am God?-Chapter 245 Chaos

"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."

"The Immortal Worlds would also be affected in this upheaval, so prepare to aid them at any given moment."

Cane and Alexander listened intently on his orders, and already started to call the other Ourani, transmitting the orders all across Heaven.

"All the Heavenly Nobles, I call upon you." Matthias' voice echoed and directly reached everyone, even those outside the realm.

Seconds later, sounds of flapping wings resounded as it neared them. Hundreds of entities flew down and entered the palace through its golden gate before bowing down, "Greetings, Your Majesty." Their voices thundered as all of the entities greeted him respectfully.

"I have gathered all the nobles with one single purpose; to assist the mortals in the face of this upheaval." Matthias started.

Silence.

"Can't we just personally take action, Your Highest Majesty? Is your decision previously really final?" One of the Heavenly Dukes, a Seraph with a huge sword phantom suspended on his back, asked with apprehensiveness.

"Gladissiel," Matthias said as his eyes gazed at the Heavenly Duke, "Heaven is Heaven and the Universe we guard is a mortal plane. We can only help them spiritually and not interfere materially."

"At most, we can assist the Immortal Domains and the Spiritual and Transcendental Beings by utilizing the Ourani of the Third Rim and below because they can, at the very least, shoulder the Ourani's presence compared to the fragility that the mortals possess."

"As for the beings of the Universe, I have a plan to at least have some of them survive against the chaotic onslaughts."

"Lazarus." Matthias called out. "What do you need me for, Your Majesty?" Different from his previous form as a child, Lazarus now took the form of a 20-something years old handsome and gorgeous man that's image fits perfectly to the angels of unquestionable nobleness. On his waist was a yellow whip made from a dragon's tail that radiates an indomitable pressure over all races.

"As the strongest of the Heavenly Dukes, I want you to lead the Heavenly Nobles by lending support by spreading inheritances all across the universe. With that, they would then have someone that can defend them while they're trying to become stronger."

"I understand. I'll do as you command, Your Majesty." Lazarus nodded in affirmation.

"Gail, Eolas." After confirming that Lazarus got the order, Matthias then looked at Gail, his brother-in-law who turned into a black-winged angel that looked kind of sinister especially to those who didn't know him personally, and to another Ourani wearing a red armor over a black robe.

"What is it that you want me to do?" Gail asked blandly. As for Eolas, he just looked at Matthias nonchalantly, waiting for him to talk.

"As you have the jurisdiction over the Divine Underworld and the legions of Yin Angels, I am ordering the Sinclair Domain as a whole to retrieve the wandering souls all across the universe with the most capable and terrifying as the priority and convert them into Yin Soldiers to be utilized in the war and maybe even long after it. We don't want souls of such caliber to be wasted or even used against us. The Sacred Domain should assist the Sinclair Domain in this endeavour."

The two looked at each other before turning their heads back to Matthias and nodding in understanding before the two of them left the palace.

After instructing the other nobles, they all left hurriedly as, based on His Majesty's orders, the universe is in a state of upheaval.

A while later, a woman of majestic glamor strode towards the Heavenly Throne. Her scarlet red robe cascaded down to the ground as it skid smoothly as she walked.

When she appeared, it was as if everything within the room bowed down to her presence, except for the Heavenly Throne itself.

When Matthias saw her, he then smiled as if he saw his old friend from years back. "Celeste." He called out.

Celeste, The Divine Empress, also smiled and bowed slightly, "You've returned." She said to him softly.

"You need not put on that fa?ade, Celeste." Seeing her submissive demeanor towards him, Matthias couldn't help but chuckle, "There is no one here that doesn't know our real relationship."

Hearing that, Celeste gradually eased, "Still, you've been gone for twenty years. Although it's just a short time, every second can change a person." She sighed. f𝘳𝚎𝐞we𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃e𝘭.co𝘮

"What did you discover? What's happening with the universe?" Celeste looked at him straight in the eye and asked.

"Bad." Matthias' face immediately went sullen as he replied solemnly, "Very Bad."

"How?"

"It's so bad that I didn't even need to leave the Heavenly Palace to discover it." Matthias sighed as he slowly sat on the Heavenly Throne with Celeste just standing one stair below.

Celeste listened intently, letting him continue, "I looked over that problem, considering that it was nigh impossible for that to occur, as our universe is just at its infancy, but I was wrong, very wrong."

"I traveled to the endless universe, and found a rift filled with the power of Chaos and Void, which are two existences that should've been opposites. I don't know who or what kind of being it is, but I'm sure that there's only one place that such an abomination could come from."

"The Void of Existence, the home of the Eldritch Beings."

"What are you planning next?" She asked.

"Unfortunately, even though I am already a Godly being of this domain, my power is still insufficient to fully destroy that Void Rift. Whatever happens outside would definitely be shouldered by not just us but the entire universe." Matthias replied with remorse.

"Then, you could help the mortals gain power by encouraging them to fight. Once they accomplish or kill something that might help battle the other side, reward them. With that, all of the beings of this universe will rise up and struggle against their fate." Celeste suggested as she looked at the solemn god.

"Wait." Suddenly, hearing her suggestion, his eyes lit up. His figure immediately went down into a cross-legged position as his consciousness entered another dimension filled with an unimaginable amount of letters, numbers, codes, and many more.

Oddly, though Matthias knew where he was, the feeling that he was sensing isn't familiar to him. It seems there's something… wrong.

And as he expected, soon enough, the codes suddenly turned and shot towards him with incredible precision.

He would've died already if he wasn't powerful enough. Fortunately, he was.

Matthias scoffed and waved his hand. With the power that he gained from ascending as a Godly being of a Heaven, his authority has increased by a tremendous amount.

With one wave of his hand, the codes immediately shattered and returned to the core of the dimension.

Knowing that something really wasn't right, Matthias' soul rushed towards wherever the path may take him, taking down code after code after code in his direction.

As he was doing this, his knowledge pertaining to the laws of Systems slowly started to improve. Though it was insignificant compared to the knowledge he knew now, it was still knowledge and he was more than glad to accept it.

Hours later, he suddenly felt fluctuations near him. He dashed towards the direction of the irregularity and saw two beings in a fierce battle, one he recognized while the other, also recognised but he wasn't sure, because they're the same entity; the System Lord. Seeing them, he became serious as he rushed to the battle to help the true System Lord.

How did he know who was who? Simple. The other System Lord had the aura of an Eldritch Being, one that is similar to the energy that he sensed when he ascended.

"Matthias!" The System Lord had a shocked expression plastered on his face. He did not expect Matthias to visit. But still, he was elated.

Matthias didn't respond and instead went straight to the impostor and bombarded it with attacks with the Universal Laws combined within it. If Matthias learned something with the knowledge granted to him in his ascension, one of those would be how to counter an invading force, especially the Eldritch.

Eldritch Beings, as creatures devoid of a real home, wandering aimlessly in the Void of Existence, their energies would be greatly rejected by any universe they try to enter. Their powers would weaken, their sizes would shrink, and sometimes, even their intellect and soul would slowly deteriorate.

Therefore, instead of entering personally, the Eldritch Gods would send some henchmen or even items to corrupt the world until it finally succumbs to them.

Almost nothing could stand in their way with the power that the conquerors harness, but they are weak to those who wield the binding laws that terrifies even the greatest of Eldritch.
