As the crown prince's body was being burned to ashes his screams filled the room, one of the supreme beings threw a blue crystal into the fiery pit.
The blue crystal hovered above the fiery pit without falling into it, as the screams of the crown prince died down, the entire place suddenly became silent
The blue crystal which was hovering above the fiery pit suddenly began to shine brightly, filling the entire void with a blue halo.
Little specks of twinkling blue light began to rise from the fiery pit, the little specks of light started converging together and the outline of a human started forming.
The human formed was completely made of light and transparent, the outline of his features could not be seen properly and the light it emitted was slowly dimming.
The blue crystal which was hovering above the pit, suddenly pulled the human formed of light within it like it had a suction force and slowly floated back to one of the supreme beings.
"What's going on?" The emperor who had been too shocked to react suddenly came to his senses and couldn't help but question the supreme beings.
Everything that occurred from his son falling into the pit, into now was just too fast for him to react, the reason why he had remained composed was because he knew these beings won't hurt his son because he already heard them talking about rebirth, but he still couldn't help but ask.
"Like we told you humans, to higher life forms death isn't the end of a sentient being, it's just the expiration of our mortal shell.
What really matters to a higher life form, it's their consciousness.
It holds everything, their essence, memories and characters and what you humans call the soul,
When the mortal shell perished, the consciousness scarterter into little specks of particles and scatter into the void.
As long as you are able to gather those specks of particles before they completely disappear into the void, they can be stored.
Building a new body and fussing them together it's the easiest part''
The supreme being explained patiently.
From now on, we'll give your son a more powerful body, this means that from now on your son is no longer human but what one of us.
You can leave, the next time you'll see him, he'll be a level above you humans"
The Supreme beings said as they dismissed the emperor.
"The Life restoration machine only has one body left, that it can produce, meaning we are left with only one chance.
If we use it on the human prince, we can't revive any of our hibernating men ever again until we go back to the wider universe. The third supreme being said with a sigh.
'It's not a bad choice really, this kid has potential. Though we are from a level eight civilization, the axioms are the true level eight civilization. The life restoration machine was programmed to build sentient level 8 bodies, we are not able to fully utilize it, but I believe the human can!" The first Supreme beings said.
"And what makes you think, he can?" The second supreme being asked with disdain in his voice.
The first supreme being, raised the blue crystal storing the crown prince consciousness, this crystal has been moving since he walked in" he explained.
The second and third supreme beings frowned. This blue crystal were usually calm and never moved on their own unless they detected a very strong consciousness, but how could a mere human of a primitive civilization consciousness be stronger than them?
This was simply unbelievable.
The first supreme being, casually threw the blue crystal towards the life restoration machine, which suddenly appears from a separate dimension upon detecting the blue crystal
The blue crystal floated toward the machine, the life restoration machine was a large cubic box, with writings of alien symbols on it.
The blue crystal attached itself to the life restoration machine and began to emit dazzling lights.
A new body was being formed.
...
After the previous battle, the crystal citadel had become quiet and peaceful, the forces of the seven super countries haven't dared to attack since their crushing defeat.
Though the civilians within the Triangular city were still nervous about the events currently happening, there was nothing they could do than to pray that the Archman group would win the war. Besides they were saved within the walls so they went about their business.
During the brief moment of peace in this war, Luke had spent the peaceful days with Beatrice.
This brief moment had allowed the couple to spend time together without any interruptions.
On this day, the sun was shining brightly as the cool breeze of summer lingered in the air.
A handsome young man and beautiful woman walked through a garden as they happily conversed, their soft giggle sounding through the air, the chaotic world outside had nothing to do with them as they were engrossed in their own space.
"Beatrice, can I know why you chose to marry me? You still haven't explained it to me. Luke suddenly asked out of nowhere.
Beatrice was stunned for a moment and was completely caught off guard, they were having a pleasant conversation about the weather, how did it suddenly shift to this?
But this question brought back a memory she kept deep within her memories, a beautiful smile couldn't help but blossom on her face.
At that moment, time seemed to have stopped for Luke, as he gazed at the beautiful smile on Beatrice's face, her smile was enough to make the flowers within the garden lose their luster.
Though Luke had seen how beautiful Beatrice was when she smiled, he was always caught in surprise when he saw it.
"I saw a handsome man, and I was single so I proposed. Can't a woman even fall in love at first sight again?" Beatrice replied playfully.
Luke couldn't help but shake his head with a smile, it looked like he wasn't going to get anything out of her.
"Well there's another reason why I chose to marry you….. but I'll only tell you if you win this war and come out unscathed" she added.
"Aren't you even going to ask me why the seven super countries are so fixed on trying to take me down?" Luke asked curiously.
Over the past few days they've been together, Beatrice had not asked him anything regarding why they were being attacked.
"If I ask, will you tell me the truth?'' she asked back.
Luke was about to reply certainly but had to stop midway.
He couldn't reveal the reason why the seven super countries were attacking them without telling her his true origin. Perhaps he was afraid she might not be able to handle it.
The matter was rather complicated, though Luke was birthed by a human, he wasn't truly a human, not even half.
His birth mother was merely a vessel used to nourish him.
He couldn't explain it to her now, so he held her hands.
''I promise that after all this, I'll tell you the truth, so please wait a little longer." Luke said in a gentle voice.
Beatrice gave him a smile, "don't worry, I'll always be here whenever you are ready.
Let's go inside, I learned a special recipe I want to try using for dinner" Beatrice said gently.
Ever since the war started, she hasn't had anything to do, than to stay at home learning recipes to kill time.
"I'll help", Luke joined her as they both headed home holding hands.
...
At the border of the Gold country, the troops of the super countries were preparing for an all out assault.
Today it was an all out war, all their 80,000 troops were being mobilized, it was a do or die affair.
In the command tent, a soldier entered and saluted all the commanders, "We are ready to march out!"
"Has the special unit HQ promised to handle those mounted cannons, arrived?" The commanding general asked.
"Yes sir, they've already begun their assault!"
What unit do they belong to?" The general couldn't help but ask, he was hoping those people sent were the Krustalia guardian knights.
If it's them, then the success of this mission might increase favourably for them.
"They call themselves the Blood Moon!"
