Chapter 529 - War Princess!
Across the starry expanse of space, the forces of Celestials were slowly all coming in contact with the defensive line of the defenders of the Dark Expanse. Battles had fully begun in many regions as some ended in a matter of minutes, while others went on to take days!
This all depended on which Celestial Legions were on the move, and exactly how the power of the defending side matched with them.
Among the clashes between the two forces of Light and Dark Expanse, the Celestials were finding it particularly harder to pierce through regions protected by the force of Vampyres!
This was because of the immense firepower they showed that had never been seen before, their bodies fighting even to their last breath as they seemed to have renewed vigor. In the few days preceding the full start of the Last War, it was the topics of the newly found strength of Vampyres, Crixus the Destroyer, and the 9th Infernal Lord protecting the Verittas Fortress that took the center of many being's thoughts.
On this day though, yet another figure was about to make themselves known as the playback of their assault was being seen with increasing eyes. The figure that grandly made her name known this time around was the one known as the War Princess, Athena!
In the unique environment of war, many got the chance to see exactly why she held the title of the War Princess.
Athena had led the assault on a stronghold where Mages and Vampyres were protecting, and her assault had shockingly led to the first battles that a stronghold in the Dark Expanse being protected by Vampyres faced.
The reason for the War Princess' shocking victory was something that only she and very few Celestials knew of- her Unique Ability that was called {Precognition}!
This was the ability that first granted her the title of War Princess, and also the ability that shone with great splendor on the battlefield.
Athena displayed a shocking scene where she singularly led a single Celestial Legion that only had her at the World Rank, facing against a stronghold that was protected by a World Rank Vampyre and World Rank Mage commanders.
A battle of two against one, with many people finding it difficult for the defending Vampyres and Mages to lose given the track record since the beginning of the war. Athena proved this belief wrong as she valiantly appeared and controlled the pace of the battle in a manner that only the most proficient generals could!
She floated in the expanse of space as her eyes shone with splendor, a proud old man floating beside her as she was encased in a golden armament that only made her brilliance shine brighter. With every wave of her hand, numerous commands were released from her forces as they utilized the technology of the Prime Warsh.i.p.s and their own group attacks, fluidly withstanding the fearsome Vampyres and Mages as the War Princess then went on to match against the two World Rank Commanders by herself.
Singularly and brilliantly!
Her unique ability let her foresee even more things as she rose to higher ranks, predicting the movements and attacks of her enemies as she showed a battle that attracted the eyes of all those watching simply because of one thing- Dominance!
It was this type of beautiful dominance that only the most seasoned Commander would show in a war, but it was being displayed by a newly risen Celestial Commander.
This was a being holding the title of Noble Fate. This was the War Princess, Athena!

In the Verittas Fortress, Noah was watching the brilliant display of Athena's battle as his gaze remained calm.
His first clone was currently holding the defensive position of defending Verittas Fortress as the 9th Infernal Lord, his Legion floating in space with palpating pressure as they waited patiently for any signs of Celestials.
Commanding Mage Turner and the Dark Wizard Shanora were still defending alongside him, with the addition of two World Rank Vampyres that Vladivostok wanted besides their progenitor to further reinforce them.
The figures of the Harbingers could be seen among the Vampyres, along with many Spiritual World Beasts and Noah's first pet, Draco. A particularly pristine Emperor Penguin with sparkling dark and silver colors was floating around as he acted like a commander of the forces of Vampyres, Elena shaking her head with a smile as Barbatos looked at this in an annoyed manner while she waved her hands to summon her undead legion.
She and all of his subordinates were currently trying to digest their gains from the last battle where they obtained World Rank Cores and skill books, wanting to break into the next realm as soon as possible!
Noah also saw this as an inevitability as all the cores he gained were also prioritized to the Spiritual World Beasts and Harbingers, the levels of these beings continuing to shoot up at insane degrees. This was to more quickly achieve his goal of upgrading into a realm, and to make sure that his people would be strong enough to not lose their battles in the fights to come.
RUMBLE!
A wave of power spread out at this instant as Noah came out of his thoughts, the Infernal Legion in front of him waving their weapons down and signaling the aura of beings they were particularly sensitive to nearing.
Resolute expressions formed on the faces of the defenders of the Verittas Fortress as they prepared to face another assault, knowing that the stronghold they were occupying could not fall simply because of its importance.
Noah's eyes pierced through the starry expanse of space as the veils slowly lifted, his eyes landing on a collection of truly numerous sh.i.p.s heading towards the Verittas Fortress. The sh.i.p.s were truly many as he confirmed with his own eyes what he already knew from his knowledge as a Celestial Commander- and that was the information that this time around, two Celestial Legions would be leading the assault on the Verittas Fortress!
His eyes curved into a delighted smile at this as it meant more and more food delivering itself to him, his hands waving in front of him as he called for the activation of a recently upgraded skill tree, summoning the [Abyssal Lich] who could play with millions of undead as he wanted to show them a different type of despair...
