"So I take it you refuse?"
Seraphielle asked as she stared at Ul'Thakar. She obviously knew how unreasonable she currently sounded, one might even think that she had lost herself in her anger and had been manipulated by the Fifth Infinity.
But…
That was far from the case.
Seraphielle had been planning this long before she even knew the Fifth would finally contact them.
When the Fifth actually did, for a mont, she felt frustrated. She feared he would get involved, and dealing with an uncertainty as big as another Infinity level in any plan was… well, one could say it wasn't a good idea.
You don't 'just go for it' when it cos to Infinities. Even a single odd move from them could change the entire situation and you needed to be very careful, and that is when you have a plan.
And if you don't have a plan that takes the accurate number of Infinities into the equation, you stop right there.
Or at least… that's how it usually happens.
Seraphielle was prepared to drop her plans, but that was when the Fifth opened his mouth and Seraphielle understood what he was trying to do.
The Fifth too wanted to create a rift between the Infinities, probably to use that mont of weakness to his advantage and solidify his position in the Universe.
A viable plan, chaos was a threat to the weak, but for the strong, it was a way to strengthen themselves, and that was exactly what the Fifth wanted.
As for Seraphielle?
It was a win for her too, her worlds were already being attacked, the pressure was high, her Faction was thinning down, if this continued, it was only a matter of ti before her faction disappeared.
Yes, the situation had beco that difficult. After all, there was no certain way to catch the Anomaly.
He was too evasive, he was… too difficult for Seraphielle to deal with alone.
So she…
So she needed to do sothing, sothing that… would leave a strong impact on the entire Universe.
A deadly attack that almost cripples one of the four Supre Factions was definitely an answer.
Would it make an Infinity her enemy?
Yes, of course.
But weren't all Infinities enemies already?
Under that guise of alliance and coming together to save the Universe bullshit, the Infinities were all trying to tear each other apart.
She wasn't doing anything different.
Why go this far? What's the point?
It was simple.
Seraphielle could not beg for help, that was beneath her, but the fact that she couldn't deal with the Anomaly alone, especially if he doesn't appear right in front of her and continues to avoid her, couldn't be ignored either.
She needed the help of the other Infinities to deal with it.
How do you get help without actually asking for it?
Well…
You make others feel what you are feeling.
And Seraphielle felt… desperation. A strong sense of helplessness. An overwhelming sense of powerlessness, so strong that she…
She decided to make the final, ultimate move.
She would attack.
She would wage war strong enough to burn the very Universe itself. At first, others would enjoy it, they would think that she and the Infinity she was facing would go at each other and perish, leaving this long, long ga—
But the battles of two Infinities were seldom only the two Infinities fighting. Sooner or later, others would join too, they would have to since they would never know when everything might fall to ruin and the rest of the Infinities co together and attack them instead.
Yes, that was the plan, to involve all the Infinities in the battle, plunge the Universe into pure, utter chaos and continue this until either one of the Infinities cos forward to stop the battle and the chaos that ca with it, fearing what the Anomaly and other beings from other Universes might do.
Or…
Of course, she perishes.
Which was highly likely as well.
She could already see Darkness, Eternity and Balance coming together to fight her, that was actually the most ideal way to deal with this situation.
But if that happens—
Seraphielle had decided that she would either perish or…
Or she would join the Anomaly.
Yes, she would go against the very Universe itself if it ant she could survive and co out on top.
Would that be seen as betrayal? Or her giving in to the Anomaly?
Maybe.
But what would a Universe that would then be her enemy even matter?
As for her giving in to the Anomaly…
It was only a matter of ti, since once she gets close to him, she very much plans to learn more about his secrets, the source of his powers and once she has his trust—
She was going to end his life as well and take away everything he cherished.
Then she would not just be the Absolute Ruler of her own Universe, but also of the Anomaly's Universe, that was clearly more advanced than their own.
What if all of this didn't go according to her plan?
What if this was exactly what the Anomaly had been waiting for? What if the war becos a trigger? What if the Anomaly uses this chance to bring his actual army and take over their then-weakened Universe?
Then they just lose.
Seraphielle did not mind, she was already losing in the first place. She would much rather lose to enemies she does not know or recognize than fall before any of her… 'friends' do.
She did not wish to be rembered as the first Infinity that fell in the great war.
She did not wish to beco… the previous Eternity.
With all those thoughts being very, very clear in her mind—
Seraphielle looked at Ul'Thakar, waiting for an answer and Ul'Thakar did not make her wait for long.
He had no idea what the woman was playing at, he too could sense that sothing was wrong, that this wasn't her ideal behaviour, that she wouldn't do sothing so foolish without a plan but…
He didn't give a fuck.
He only saw a simple thing, Seraphielle was trying to push him around, she was trying to provoke him and he—
He had to answer.
So that's what he did.
"Yes.
I refuse."
He answered, looking right into Seraphielle's eyes as if he was prepared for anything that might follow.
Seraphielle's gaze hardened—
"Do not bla then."
She spoke as suddenly—
BOOOOOOOOOOM
The entire room trembled violently, the walls, the walls that were made from the strongest materials in the existence of the Universe, materials even Eternals would have a hard ti breaking, those sa walls began to crack like they were mirrors being hamred.
A pressure so suffocatingly high engulfed the entire room, the four Infinities stood still. Obviously, the pressure did not push them down, they were more than strong enough to resist it.
Their eyes, however, were fixed on her.
And Seraphielle—
She looked at Ul'Thakar with her golden eyes now glowing intensely and—
"I, Seraphielle Light, declare War on Ul'Thakar Darkness and the Darkness Faction."
And it happened.
Seraphielle Light declared war.
Her words, carried by the Universe itself, echoed through every single corner, the Light Faction, the Darkness Faction, no place in the Universe was left untouched.
The people who heard those words froze, outright wars stopped that very instant because that declaration ant sothing far greater than their very existence was happening.
Sothing that would change the course of the Universe.
So were surprised too, unable to understand why this was happening all of a sudden, especially when Light itself should be busy dealing with the Anomaly.
However—
Not everyone had the luxury to worry, be surprised, confused, or even be fearful.
Because Seraphielle's words weren't just a declaration for the Universe and its people—
It was also a signal.
A signal for Lord Light to move.
And that was exactly what he did, the mont he heard her words, the target that they had been waiting for was now clear.
Out of the three plans the Light Army was given, one was finally chosen and—
[Move]
Lord Light ordered his n and—
It happened.
In an instant, mass teleportation crystals, forgotten relics that were only used in Supre Wars, artifacts and weapons that would make even the High-Level Worlds greedy—
They were all activated.
And Light's strongest army arrived at Darkness's core worlds, worlds that were very strongly protected but…
Light was just more prepared.
Everything was planned so perfectly that it was almost scary. Worlds with eight Eternals defending them were attacked by twelve Eternals, six were attacked by eight, four with six, two with three and one with two.
How was it possible? Especially when Light had lost a considerable amount of Eternals after the Anomaly had constantly targeted them for years?
The answer to that was simple, Light did not attack every single High-Level World, only the important worlds, the worlds that could be considered Darkness's Pillars were attacked.
And to achieve that—
ALL of Light's Eternals were used. Other than the Supre World of Light, no world that belonged to the Light Faction now had Eternals protecting it.
Even worse?
The attackers had far, far stronger weapons, weapons they were given directly from Light's treasury.
This…
This wasn't a battle the Darkness worlds that were attacked could win, no matter what they did.
The enemy was simply too prepared, not to ntion quick.
By the ti they had ti to react—
It was already over.
