Baldeverse Legendarium

Author's Note: This is not an erotica story. This short story tells the universe I have created. This will straighten up the rules of the shared universe I wrote in various stories. This will be the very root of everything. It will give the readers a glimpse of how large my vision is for my stories. I plan to put this story in a small compilation of all the connecting stories I wrote and will write in the future. This is a very important part of not only Heaven or Hell but all the others I managed to write. That's it I guess. Enjoy the short read.

Part 1: The Null
By: Balderic

Before there was us, before there was the cosmos, before there was time, there was nothing. It was the age of the great nothingness. Devoid of anything, devoid of logic. It was the age of the unknown. It was believed that the nothingness was made of pure energy. Pure compressed energy. An energy that cycles for an unknown amount of time.

It was said that there are two types of energy that cycles in an almost endless loop. The Alpha Energy and the Omega Energy.

Alpha Energy: It is an energy that creates. It is what begins. It is the start and it is the light.

Omega Energy: this is the energy that ends all. The final stage of everything and turns them into nothing. It is the dark.

These two types of energies synergizes for unknown eons. There was supposed to be balance of it. However, the absolute truth that it would not last forever created an event. The cycling fusion and diffusion triggered an event that gave birth to a being. A being that has the ability to control everything and anything. A combination of all the Alpha and the Omega.

This is Nasticur Dei. The Birth of God.

Part 2: The First Age
By: Balderic

God is all. God harnessed the Alpha and the Omega energy. God is able to control all and its presence is everywhere. It is Omnipotent. Its great power that combines the energies, it created matter. As matter was created, so too it's destruction. God gave itself purpose. The purpose of creating the new. For an unknown amount of time, God created all and it created the first universe. It was Universe Prime.

This universe was desolate. All matter and creation from nothing. God wanted to create more. And so God from its own state, created beings much like its own. These beings helped God to create more. These celestial beings are named Angels. Their creation was called The Angelus Sonata.

The angels helped God in shaping the first universe. As God focused on creating life, the angels created more, making the universe full of life with different shapes and colors. Each universe being created is similar to its predecessor and yet different. For each one, has its own rules and versions of reality.

The first breath of life started the age of the mortals. Beings of great unchecked power that has the endless potential. However, they are bound by the mortal chains of the two energies. They are born from the Alpha energy and dies from the Omega energy. These mortals were watched over by the Angels.

However, the interconnection between the mortals and the celestial beings proved to be wrong as many Angels started to mingle and have their way with the mortals. God saw of this and forbids it, for the combination of celestials and mortals would create incalculable imbalance.

Sure enough, the offsprings of the two beings created monsters. Gods in Mortal form. Creation that is an abomination. Life forms forsaken by the heavens. They were the Nephilims. God and all the loyal Angelic beings stopped this union and so started the massacre of the Nephilims, killed by the very blades forged from the heavens. Each abominable creature fell and their mortal mothers and families were drowned by God in a great flood.

Angels who were known to have laid with female mortals were banished. These Angels who have fallen from the grace of God started to question God itself. Their Omega energies fueled into abnormal states and their reasoning changed. They were led by the strongest Angels who challenged God of its rule. This Angel was called Lucifer Morning Star. Once called the beautiful and the brightest, he along with his fallen brothers march towards the heavens.

Part 3: War of Heaven and Hell
By: Balderic

The universe trembled when the Holy Army of the Almighty God clashed against the Fallen Angels. Thunderous powers shreaked, swords crackled, and the heavens became a battlefield. These beings who are considered immortals, would not die but they would vanished and return to their source until they are resurrected again.

Lucifer who was the champion of champions fought on, clashing arms with his former brethrens. Each one fell to his power. But one Angel, the right hand of God itself, wielding the the Holy Sword, fought Lucifer on his own. Might of the two celestial beings echoed throughout the battlefield. But one proved triumphant. The Archangel Michael, defeated Lucifer and banished him into the dark Abyss.

The end of the war started a new life for the universe. God created barriers on each worlds so not to interconnect with each other. The heavens, the mortal plain, and the Abyss.

Lucifer and his allies who were banished into the deep dark abyss created their own universe which reflects their souls. Their burning desires created Hell. A world of torment, corruption and chaos. Their angelic forms changed into hideous beings of different shapes and sizes. Thus, the first Demons were born. Lucifer vowed to return and challenge God again but before he does, he wanted to destroy God's creations. His demons seeked and influence mortals, create chaos and corrupt their souls. For each one feed on the Omega energies inside the mortals to strengthen them. Taking these sinner's souls into their world for them to consume, rape and corrupt.

End of Part 3

Part 4: Second Age

Eons of histories passed and mortals lived in harmony. God and its Angels guided them indirectly as to avoid the mistakes of the passed and to make sure they would not fall for the dark side. God knows of the coming conflict and on that day, it is ready to face the demons once again.

----------

"I heard of these legends for it was told again and again." Wika ng isang lalake habang naka upo ito sa isang bato sa ibabaw ng burol.

"Those were not legends but it was the truth." Sagot naman ng lalakeng nasa likod at nakatayo. Humarap sa kanya ang naka upo sa bato at dahan dahang tumayo. Inapak nito ang isang paa sa bato.

"What's your point Elias? You gave me a long tale that almost bored me to death. Now what do you want? " wika ng lalake.

"I want you to stop this." Pakiusap ni Elias. Mula sa kagubatan sa likuran nya ay nagsilabasan ang isang grupo ng mga taong naka suot ng dark na kasuotan at armado ng iba't-ibang uri ng sandata. Halatang hinde normal ang mga ito dahil sa laki ng pangangatawan at tila may lumalabas na enerhiya mula sa kanila na parang itim na usok.

Itinuro ng lalakeng kaharap ni Elias ang isang syudad sa di kalayuan.

"Find the stone." Utos ng lalake. Naghanda ang mga tauhan nya pero pumorma na din si Elias. Handang pigilan ang mga ito.

"Your demons won't reach that city. That I can promise you." Banta ni Elias. Ngumiti lang ang lalakeng kaharap nya. Sinuot nito ang maskarang walang facial features, except sa isang butas sa gitna na may nakalagay na bato. Ang lalakeng ito ay si Void, ang lalakeng kamukha ni Gabriel na naghahasik ng lagim sa iba't ibang universes.

"Your threats won't hurt me Dactylian. Kill him." Utos nito.

"HRAAAAAARRGGHH!!!" sabay sabay na umatake ang mga demonyong tauhan nito kay Elias.

Isang latin incantation ang ginawa nya at inilabas ang Ring of Solomon mula sa kanyang kamay. Nagkaroon ng shockwave sa paligid kung saan hinde nakagalaw ang mga demonyong nakapalibut sa kanya. Mula sa kabilang kamay ay lumitaw ang isang espada. Nagulat si Void.

"That's Dyrnwyn, the holy sword of fire!" wika ni Void.

"SLAAAASSSHHHHH!!!!!!" isang mabilis na atake ang pinamalas ni Elias sa nakalutang na mga demonyo.

"FWAAAAAABBBBBB!!!!!" "GGRAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! " biglang lumiyab ang mga demonyo at mabilis itong kinain ng apoy.

"The holy sword that can only be wielded by the worthy and burns the unworthy. You have quite a collection there Elias." Wika ni Void.

"Oh you have no idea how many toys I've got in my sleeve." Sagot ni Elias.

"Well, as expected for the one that hounds in different universes like a dog. What do you plan to do now? Burn me? You know that thing won't work on something like me." Umilaw ng pula ang bato sa maskara at lumutang sa ere si Void.

Lumipad si Void papunta sa syudad at napakabilis nito. Gumamit ng incantation si Elias para lumutang din ito sa ere at kaagad hinabol si Void. Tinignan ni Void sa likuran nya na sumusunod si Elias. Binuka ni Void ang palad.

"PTOOV! " Isang Dark Energy ang pinakawala ni Void at inilagan ito ni Elias.

"Are you sure, you wanna avoid that? " wika ni Void. Dito napansin ni Elias na papunta ang energy ball sa isang malaking paaralan sa di kalayuan.

"Damn him! " mabilis hinabol ni Elias ang energy ball. Nakita ng isang batang babae ang liwanag mula sa paparating na energy ball. Napangiti ito sa pag aakalang fireworks ito.

"BRAGAAAMMMMM!! " huli na ang lahat at sumabog ang isang city block sa lakas ng impact. Tumilapon si Elias matapos magkaroon ng malakas na shockwave. Isang crater ang nagawa ng pagsabog.

"Oh God… no.. " halos mapaluhod sa hinagpis si Elias. Naluluha itong tinignan si Void na nasa malayo.

"DAMN YOU GABRIEEEELLL!!! " "PHOOOOMM!!" sumabog ang lupa sa impact ng paglipad ni Elias at mabilis nitong sinugod ang katunggali.

Ilang segundo pa at naabutan nya si Void at agad nitong binigyan ng malakas na suntok ang kalaban.

"KHOOOOMMMM!!! " shockwave ng impact at napawi ang ilang ulap sa kalangitan. Nasalag ni Void ang kamao ni Elias.

Mula sa kabilang kamay ni Elias ay lumitaw ang isang nagliliwanag na libro. Nakalutang ito sa ere at nagbukas mag isa.

"The Ars Theurgia Goetia!?" wika ni Void. Isa itong libro na naglalaman ng mga Enchanted Seals at Soul Domination Spells.

Bumigkas ng incantations si Elias habang nakatitig kay Void.

"Four kings of the four points. Carneriel of the East. Amemadiel of the West. Demoriel of the North. Caspiel of the South. I summon thee, grant me thy power and forbid this dark entity from entering thy Sanctum. Holy Seal of Barachiel! " nagmaterialize ang apat na nagliliwanag na rings at pumalibot ito kay Void. Dumikit ang mga ito at natakpan ang buong katawan ni Void. Umatras si Elias at nagpatuloy sa incantations nya.

"Sealing me won't stop me! " wika ni Void.

Incantions at hand signs ang ginawa ni Elias. Tila nakaramdam ng takot si Void hababg pinagmamasdan ito.

"No matter what, He should not complete that mantra! " bulong ni Void sa sarili. Pumikit ito at naglabas ng malakas na Omega energy sa buong katawan. Pilit kinakalaban ang binding spell na nakadikit sa kanya.

"GNNGGHHHH!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" "KRAAKK!!" nawasak ang binding spell ni Elias na ikinagulat nya. Isang malakas na binding spell na ang ginamit nya pero nakawala pa si Void.

"SHUFFF!! " nag laho si Void at lumitaw sa harapan ni Elias sabay hinawakan ang mga kamay nito.

"I know you're summoning an Astral Weapon, Dactylian! Holy weapons that can destroy even the Celestial beings themselves. I cannot allow that! "

"FSSSSSSSS!!!!" tila napaso ang mga braso ni Elias sa mga kamay ni Void.

"UNNGGHHHH!!! " daing ni Elias at tinadyakan nya si Void. Nagkalayo ang dalawa.

"After that display of power, allow me to show you mine." "KROOOOMMMM!!!!" kumidlat sa kalangitan at nagsimulang mangdilim ang paligid. Namula ang bato sa maskara ni Void.

Inunat ni Void ang mga braso nya sa kaliwa't kanan. Kuminang ng liwanag ang pulang bato sa maskara ni Void at naglabas ito ng kulay pulang leikido na parang dugo. Tumulo ito pababa sa leeg nya. Binuksan ni Void ang itim na kasuotan at lumitaw ang dibdib nyang namumutla. Tumulo ang tila dugong likido sa dibdib nya at nagkaroon ng bilog na butas sa gitna ng dibdib nya. Lumaki ito ng dahan-dahan. Tinanggal ni Void ang maskara at nakikita ang nangingitim na sclera ng mga mata nya at namumula ang mga iris. Lumuha ito ng dugo habang nakangiti.

"Your mortal soul that binds you to this realm won't allow you to unlock your full potential. However, for me, everything has no limits. Let me show you a good example Dactylian."

"SHRIIEEEEKKK!!!" isang portal ang bumukas mula sa dibdib ni Void at lumaki ito na halos isang buong city block. Animo'y napunit ang realidad sa harapan ni Elias. Isang madilim na abyss ang laman ng portal. Subalit nakakaramdam si Elias ng napakasamang enerhiya mula sa loob.

"No… this can't be… .how are you able to unleash such horrors without incantations and in this level!? " takot at pangamba ang nakaguhit sa mukha ni Elias.

"I told you. Your mortal soul won't allow you to reach your full potential. My body infused with the Omega energy from the Dark Abyss and this corrupted Cintamani stone grants me the power to shatter all rules layed down by God. Now you will bare witness at the glimpse of what I can create! "

Lumabas ang matatalim na mga kuko mula sa portal. Kasunod nito ang pagdungaw ng mga demonyong armado at nababalutan ng nag aapoy at nagbabagang lava mula sa impyerno. Napakarami ng mga ito. Halos nagmukhang mga langgam at isa isang bumagsak sa lupa. Maririnig ang mga ungol at sigaw ng mga demonyo habang paparami nang paparami silang kumakalat sa syudad.

Dito na nagsimula ang sigawan ng mga tao nang atakihin sila ng mga demonyo.

"STOP THIS MADNESS, GABRIEL! YOU CANNOT ALLOW THESE DEMONS TO DESTROY THIS CITY! "

"I'm not destroying the city. I'm simply cleansing it. Behold! The 85 Demonic Legions of the mighty Beleth! The terrible king of hell!" gamit ang isang silver na singsing na nakasuot sa gitnang daliri ng kaliwang kamay, tinakpan ni Void ang sariling mukha bilang pagpugay sa haring demonyo.

Lumabas ang isang napakalaking demonyo sa likod ng daan daang mga alipores. May nakakagimbal na musika mula sa mga tauhan ng haring demonyo at ito mismo ay lumitaw na nakasakay sa isang malaking kabayong sunog at inaagnas.

"Unlike your conjuring abilities, I summoned this demon without restrictions and in full power. Farewell Elias, you alone won't be enough to stop him."

"THE HUMAN WORLD!! HMMMM…THIS STENCH….DISGUSTING LOWLY HUMANS!! MY CHILDREN….GO FORTH AND DESTROY EVERYTHING IN YOUR PATHS! NOW GO!! " utos ni Beleth. Kumalat ang mga demonyo para atakihin ang mga tao habang mag isang hinarap ni Elias ang malaking haring demonyo.

Umalis si Void para puntahan ang pakay nito sa syudad. Isang sekretong templo sa gitna ng syudad na kung saan nakatago ang isa pang Cintamani Stone ng universe na ito.

Hinarap ni Elias si Beleth at ang ilang legions nito na nakapalibot sa kanya.

"PUNY HUMAN….YOU'RE THAT SORCERER WHO USES THE CLAVICULA SALOMONIS REGIS (the Lesser Key of Solomon Demonology Book) "

"Yeah, what if I am? "

"THEN YOU WILL BURNNNNNN!! RIP HIM APART!!!"

"GGRAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!" sumugod ang daan daang demonyo kay Elias.

Nag chant ng incantation si Elias at isang serye ng hand signs. Nag summon ito ng Astra (Celestial Weapon). Mga sandatang ginagamit lamang ng mga Celestial Beings. Sa isang mortal na bihasa at malakas ang espiritual na enerhiya lamang ang may kakayahang makagamit nito.

"Gandharva Astra… " isang Astra na kayang bigyan ang user ng super human speed at agility.

"SHOOOOOMMM!!!!" animo'y kidlat na kumilos si Elias at sinabay-sabay ang mga demonyo. Hawak ang Dyrnwyn fire brand sword, mabilis nyang hinati ang mga ito.

"SHLLAAAAASSSHHHH!!!" "UAAAARRGGHHH!!!!" sabay baglaho ang napakaraming demonyo. Sumugod muli si Elias at sa bawat tabas nito ng sandata ay hinde na binibilang ang tinatamaan. Nagpa zigzag sa ere ang bawat kilos ni Elias na parang connecting dots ng constellations. Ginamit nito ang Ring of Solomon para hinde makakilos ang mga lesser demons at naging biktima ito ng mga atake. Dahil na clear na ang daan nya, sinugod nya ang mismong hari na si Beleth.

"BRAKAAAAAAMMMMM!!!! " wasak ang espada ni Elias nang harangin ito ng kamay ni Beleth. Masyadong malakas ang demonyo para sa sandata.

"Daggers of Binding! " naghagis ng mga dagger si Elias sa palibot ni Beleth at gumawa ng force field pero nabasag lang ito kaagad.

"KRAKOOOMMMM!!!!" tinanggap ni Elias ang malakas na suntok mula kay Beleth at tumilapon ito pababa sa lupa. Sinalo ng isang sky scraper ang katawan nya at nahati ito sa lakas ng impact. Tumagos si Elias at bumagsak pa sa kalsada na kung saan nagkakalat at nagkakagulo na ang mga tao.

"unghh. ..damn… " mahinang tumayo si Elias. Punit ang kasuotan nya.

Pinagmasdan ni Elias ang nangyayaring kaguluhan sa paligid. Kinalungkot nya ang mga ito pero dahil nag iisa lang sya, wala syang magawa. Tanging ang paglaban nya sa haring demonyo ang susi para mapigilan ang lahat. Wala na syang ibang choice kundi gamitin ang isa sa pinakamalakas nyang Astra.

Nagdasal ng taimtim si Elias at isang mahabang mantra ang binanggit nya. Nasundan ito ng mga hand signs at nagsimulang lumiwanag ang mga kamay nya. Pinaghawak nya ang mga kamay at nang ipaghiwalay nya ang mga ito ay may lumitaw na isang magical trident. Kumukuryente pa ito at nagba vibrate ng malakas. Narinig ni Beleth ang vibrations ng malakas na Astra.

"I… ..dare you.. To stop.. This… ..Demon!!!!" sigaw ni Elias. Dumugo ang Ilong nya sa tinde ng enerhiyang ginagamit nya. Inangat ang kamay habang hawak ang trident.

"EAT THIS! TRISHULA!!!" hinagis ni Elias ang Trident Astra. Para itong torpedo na lumusob kay Beleth at nabasag nito ang sound barrier ng sunod sunod na mga shockwaves! Naghanda ang demonyo para pigilan ito.

"PPHHHOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!!!" "OOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!! " sigaw ni Beleth nang tumagos sa katawan nya ang Astral weapon bago ito maglaho. Bumagsak sa lupa si Elias matapos ito at nakita nyang nag crack ang buong katawan ni Beleth bago ito maglaho at na banish pabalik sa impyerno. Kasunod ng pagkawala nya ang paglaho ng demon legions nya.

Habang nawawalan ng lakas si Elias, lumapag sa lupa sa harapan nya si Void at hawak ang bagong Cintamani stone. Inabsorb nya ito sa katawan bago tinignan ang itsura ni Elias. Sinakal nito si Elias at inangat.

"You think you can outwit me Elias? I know what you're trying to do. The Cintamani stones are the key to outbalance the Quantum Universe! Don't you see? The legends are coming true! Lucifer Morningstar will return. And in his return, so to the mortals' end. "

"You… were… supposed… to be… fighting for good. What happened? " wika ni Elias habang hirap itong huminga.

"You lived far longer than me Dactylian. And what did you learn from this mortal realm? Good pitched a high price my friend. It is the darkness that allows us to be free from the constraints of your old God. And I am going to free everyone. I will give them eternal peace."

"…by killing countless lives!? Tell me… the Gabriel I know won't allow this darkness to consume him, let alone kill innocents! "

"Where were you when I needed help!? Where were you when my world crumbled and my love ones' taken!? Nowhere! I helped myself and faced the truth! Saving myself is not enough. Saving the universe from this cruel reality is the ultimate freedom! I broke free from my chains Elias."

"Broke free? Is that what you called it when you killed Karen who was still pregnant.. When you left Yumiko to her death? And when you joined the demon of Kunlun and allow the Samsara to consume your sanity? Are these what you called being free? You've become a slave Gabriel."

"You're merely looking at my vessel Elias. Gabriel is dead. I am Astaroth and I claim this universe and its mortal souls! "

"FRAAAABBB!!!" lumagablab ang kamay ni Void at sinunog nito si Elias.

"AAAAHHHHHHHH!! " sigaw ni Elias habang nasusunog sya at binitawan sya ni Void. Naglaho ito kaagad at iniwan si Elias na mabilis tumakbo patungo sa isang nag binabahang sidewalk dahil sa bumagsak na water tank. Na apula ang apoy pero nasunog ang maraming parte ng katawan ni Elias. Kita nya ang damage na ginawa ni Void. Bigo syang maprotektahan ang Cintamani stones. Iisang bagay ang nasa isipan nya. Kailangan nya ng isang alyansa. Isang grupo na tutulong sa kanyang mapigilan si Void at kailangan nya nang kumilos bago pa maging huli ang lahat.

Author's Note: I dropped the latin incantations because it is too difficult for me to maintain it. This short story is a part of the continuation of the Baldeverse and will continue on different titles I am about to write in the future. Thank you for reading.
