Ray appeared before Alex and Shumi once again a few weeks after the day he had notified them of the Celestials' presence in the Sun's Talon realm and delivered the message they had been waiting for.
The Celestials were coming.
"Who exactly are among them?" Alex asked Ray. "Can you give me an idea of the ones coming?"
Ray described the people coming. While Alex didn't know most of them, he knew of the Heavenly beasts and wondered if all the patriarchs and matriarchs had come. He turned to Shumi next, waiting for her input.
Shumi thought for a moment.
"Are they very strong?" she asked.
"The strongest among them is an Azure Dragon, but he is quite old, so it's hard to say," the crow said. "Besides, the distinctions in one's cultivation base matter not as much in the Celestial realm as the clash of Axioms and how they fit. Thankfully, not a single one of them seems to be in the Celestial Firmament realm, so I can defeat them all should the reason arise."
