Apocalypse Healer - Path of Death-B2 Prologue

The stars twinkled with an abundance of Essence as they observed the Earthen Union’s awakening. It was their worst nightmare and greatest hope—a dangerous double-edged sword.

The final Cycle had begun as the Earthen Union’s planetary core stirred. Its awakening initiated an era of great triumph and nightmarish losses.

“It started earlier than expected,” a cold voice rang out through the wide open space

“Isn’t that why this is the final Cycle? Every time we tried to change something, they adapted,” another voice replied, laced with mild annoyance. “They grew stronger while our power was consumed to prevent the Fall.”

Muffled voices continued, but the stars resumed their observation, watching as the world below them transformed.

Across the Earthen Union, the land cracked and tore apart. Gorges of all sizes split open like old wounds, their depths exposing secrets long buried. Yet some gorges were different—unique and perilous.

From the deepest of these chasms, darkness gushed forth, expanding rapidly and shrouding the fractured land. This darkness twisted the surrounding terrain and heralded the emergence of monsters. Their roars echoed through the rifts as they surged outward, their colossal forms tearing through nature with reckless abandon.

But this was only one of many mythical phenomena. Volcanoes erupted, spewing rivers of molten fire, and entire mountain ranges burst from the ground. Exotic natural treasures materialized amid the rapidly expanding flora, their brilliance rivaling the stars themselves. Deep within the oceans, the union of Aether and Essence spawned miraculous sites of power.

From one of the seven great seas, a serpent hundreds of meters long broke the surface, its scales gleaming like polished gemstones. However, it was only one of its kind. Even grander beings came to be, but they retreated into the depths to bide their time.

“More Modifications are being forced upon the Earthen Union this time,” the first voice returned as the changes intensified.

Towers that pierced the heavens, pagodas sprawling like miniature cities, and settlements teeming with extraterrestrial life and temples sprang into existence. Thousands of Rifts manifested across the land, the Aether within them crackling ominously.

“At last, everyone understands what’s at stake,” the second star observed. “They know holding back their resources means annihilation when they come for us.”

Nature across the Earthen Union flourished wildly under the overwhelming influence of Aether and Essence. Forests grew dense and untamed, rivers carved new paths, and fields of vibrant, alien vegetation blanketed the land. Animals followed suit, mutating and evolving into fierce, unrecognizable forms.

An ear-shattering sound suddenly reverberated through the cosmos, like glass shattering on a cosmic scale. The stars flinched instinctively, knowing all too well what the sound heralded.

They turned their focus from the Earthen Union to a fissure that had opened in the fabric of space itself—a crack in the Weave that revealed the Otherside. Through the breach, tentacles the size of mountains writhed furiously, drumming against the rift’s edges. Though powerful enough to obliterate kingdoms in seconds, the tentacles failed to pierce through the barrier.

“That’s not too bad—” one of the stars began, but its words died in its throat as the scene shifted.

Black ichor sprayed violently as something tore the massive tentacles to shreds. A horrifying shriek pierced the void, but the stars barely registered it, their focus drawn to the colossal void-like eye that appeared beyond the rift. Its gaze felt infinite, a sentient abyss radiating malice.

A hiss filled the air, and words of the forbidden language reverberated through their minds. The stars recoiled instinctively, retreating from the crack.

As if on cue, portals of all shapes and sizes began appearing nearby. The oppressive whispers in their minds ceased as divine and infernal beings emerged simultaneously. Gods descended from radiant portals, Devils surged forth from the Hellgates, and the Old Ones materialized from the Weave itself.

Transcendent entities from across the cosmos joined the gathering, their Essences crackling dangerously in the wide open space. Once bitter enemies, they now stood united.

For today, the enemies of yesterday had set aside their animosity. Together, they faced the incomprehensible terror looming beyond the rift.
