Not even hours passed since the Devils left their worlds before the entire Galactic Commision headquarters were gearing up for battle. Since the invasion began, they constantly used seers to be able to know what's going on. Although most of their readings came back blank, there were a few cases when they got something.
And now was one of those moments.
Standing in front of about 12 men and women the Human Emperor was looking with a grim face. Right now, he was worried about the Devils attack and who in their right mind wouldn't be? Over the time they spent gathering information they were able to learn... nothing.
Well, nothing substantial at least. The only thing he knew was that they had numbers and a lot of them. Thinking this he spoke.
"Activate the world's defensive formation. This will protect the headquarters and allow us to have a secured safety ground. Next only three of you and your armies will begin this battle. I am not sure of their power levels, but if anything gets out of hand retreat immediately.
Remember this is now war and it may last for years before a victor is announced."
As he finished these words the 12 of them nodded and moved out. It was not much to say right now, they could only fight and learn as they go.
Once the Human Emperor was alone, he contacted the Celestial Emperor. After a moment the signal connected then he spoke.
"How is everything on your end? Currently we are preparing for the first big attack from those Devils."
Hearing this the Celestial Emperor sighed and replied in a similar tone. It was grim and a bit tense.
"You're not the only one. According to the seers we have here, each and every major force will be encountering an army big enough to bring ruin to us all."
BOOOOOOM!!!!!
As he said this the Human Emperor could hear a huge explosion go off in the background.
"They've already made it. I will contact you later, once the initial phase of the war ends, I will call for a meeting for us all."
The Celestial Emperor said in a rush then he disconnected his signal. Hearing all of this the Human Emperor's face grew even more grim. He clenched his fist and then left the room.

Back in the Sanctuary Akasha was standing gathered with his lovers and friends. Currently he had Raven, Elara, Liora, and Lyria all clinging to him. It had been 1,000 years since they last saw him and to say they missed him would be an understatement. Feeling the warmth and love from the four of them Akasha couldn't help but smile.
After some time, they all separated and now Akasha was preparing to speak. Gathered here was everyone that could be consider his friends or close subordinates.
Jovian Savant - Early Saint Rank
Isis West - Early Saint Rank
Skye Astra - Early Saint Rank
Kent Vex - Early Saint Rank
Thalia Lux - Peak Transcendent
Kate Lux - Peak Transcendent
Elena Lux - Peak Transcendent
Sara - Peak Transcendent
Gabe - Peak Transcendent
Looking at the progress they all made he was very satisfied. Off to the side he could see Selene and Kal both standing near the two spirits as the watched on with looks of interest. Akasha then spoke.
"I am impressed and satisfied with the growth of you all. Now that we have finished seclusion it is now time to have some fun. Right now, the war should officially be starting and that's just perfect for us. First, we will go and meet up with the rest of Kalpa and each of you will lead an army alongside a leader of Kalpa.
Once we're there I will explain the details to everyone."
Hearing this the others nodded while Jovian spoke out while stretching.
"Fuck man, 1,000 years in seclusion... Am I an old man now?"
The others laughed a bit hearing him and then they all disappeared from The Sanctuary.

In the Plaza of The Academy a huge crowd of people could be seen. Here all the students and instructors could be found standing in an orderly fashion as they seemed to be waiting on someone. At the front of these people were the leaders of the major factions and they too were waiting.
After a few moments of waiting a group of 15 people appeared floating in the air above the crowd. These people appearing caused many eyebrows to be raised because they were known by a few. Standing at the front of the crowd, Vlad the Vampire King eyes widened as he focused on Raven.
"R-raven? What happened to you and why are not with your brother?!" Vlad exclaimed as he struggled to grasp the new and improved version of his daughter. To him it had only been 200 years, and such a time wasn't enough for a major change. However, his daughter was now a being that he could not grasp.
Raven heard her father and flashed small smile while looking at him briefly. Elara was in a similar situation with the Dragon King, but she didn't care about him at all. Soon the situation returned to silence and then Akasha made his appearance.
He simply appeared as if he was always there. Standing in baggy black and grey sweatpants, with a black long sleeve shirt. He stood with no shoes on as he looked at the others. When he appeared, more eyebrows were raised and someone in particular was trying to get answers.
'SYSTEM! Something is not right with this guy, how the fuck can he completely change in such a small time?'
[Host, you are right. He must have something similar to your system; however, this doesn't change much. Recently fate has been turning, and I could tell this meeting will about something important. Maybe you will be able to use this situation to your advantage.]
While Krax was chatting with his system, Akasha began to speak.
"As some of you may already know. I am Akasha and these 15 people behind me are my most trusted friends and family. For those who don't know the reasons behind this gathering then I will make it short. We are now in times of war, and it had already begun.
200 years ago, this Galaxy was invaded by a race known as Devils. They are beings who live and breathe destruction and carnage. Currently they have launched attacks on all of the major factions of this Galaxy, and we will not be sitting by on the sidelines."
After he said this, he took a short moment to look at the world leaders and then spoke again.
"Along with the 11 world Leaders, the 15 people behind me will all lead armies to launch an offensive on each battlefield. There will be 6 teams, and each will be led by 4 of people.
Team 1 - Raven, Elara, The Vampire King and Queen
Team 2 - Liora, Lyria, Skye, and Dean Calisto
Team 3 - Jovian, Kent, Tali Savant, and Dwarven King
Team 4 - Isis, Thalia, Sara, and The Elven Queen
Team 5 - Gabe, Elena, Kate, The Celestial Saint
Team 6 - The Matriarch of Weapon Bearing Sect, The Demon King and Queen and The Human King
This will be the six teams and the members from my group already have the destinations of the first attack. We will move out once you all are organized and prepared. You have 10 minutes so get to it."
After he said this, he turned and gave Raven, Elara, Liora, and Lyria loving hugs and kisses. He didn't care to hide his love for his women at all. After they separated, he spoke to them.
"Protect each other's back and be safe.... Heh, but make sure you give them Devils hell. And once this all over I have gifts for each of you~"
"Hehe, you better have something nice for us, love~" Raven said as he smiled.
The other girls all chimed in as well before they all separated. Akasha was now standing alongside Selene, Kal, Amy and Celeste his smile slowly disappeared before he spoke.
"You two are coming with me?"
"Actually, we will stay with Luna and Elysia while we watch inside the Sanctuary. I have already told my siblings to be on guard and protect Kalpa while you are away so don't worry too much." Selene responded
Akasha nodded hearing this and then he spoke out again.
"Good, you two can go back inside now. I will start with on my side of things. First, I will pay those Devils home a personal visit and then that little Celestial Emperor."
After he said those words Selene and Kal left to rejoin with Luna and Elysia, then Akasha disappeared as well along with Amy and Celeste. He had already given transportation artifacts to his lovers that would send them to a world close to the battlefield. These worlds were already under the control of him due to his clones so everything would be fine.
When Akasha reappeared, he was no longer in his Galaxy, but he was now inside of the wider Universe. Behind him was huge bubble looking substance that looked formless. This was the Galaxy he had come from. Looking at it he decided to Appraise it.
[Vexus Galaxy]
After seeing this name, he nodded a bit then he turned his head and closed his eyes. He took the time to focus on the location of one of the Universes ruled by the Devils. He had the location form the Akashic Library and once he got it, he disappeared again.
