These individuals were the guardians of the [Order] Tower, personally selected from countless beings by the Celestial for their exceptional strength.
Moreover, [Order] runes had been engraved upon them, enhancing their power to its absolute peak.
From afar, their auras fused together, bringing an overwhelming sense of impending doom to those present.
Even the entire [Order] Tower trembled beneath their relentless assault, radiating a dazzling chaotic light that further empowered the guards.
These guardians stood like an immovable fortress, blocking Venus and War Goddess from advancing further.
However, War Goddess, having already sensed the presence of God of Light, had no intention of wasting ti on these guardians.
As the guards charged forward like a tidal wave, War Goddess clenched both fists tightly.
Endless battle intent, infused with [Order]'s power, caused her body to swell several dozen ters in size.
Then, with a colossal palm, she struck downward.
The void groaned and cracked, a blood-red palm print spanning hundreds of ters obliterated space itself, and the guards rushing forward exploded into a mist of blood.
The crimson fog filled the air, creating a scene of utter carnage.
Yet, War Goddess only grew stronger, cutting through everything with Venus as they ascended the [Order] Tower.
Any who dared to stand in her way-died.
She was unstoppable!
The remaining guards showed no fear, instead fueled by the power of [Order], charging forward like relentless beasts.
But before War Goddess' Primordial God-level might, their attacks were utterly aningless!
In rely a few dozen breaths, War Goddess had already brought Venus deeper into the upper levels of the [Order] Tower.
The Rescue Begins
"Venus, I can feel God of Light's aura-he's just ahead! Go save him imdiately, I'll handle everything else!"
Upon arriving, War Goddess turned to Venus, urging her to move quickly.
After all, this was the Celestial's stronghold, filled with unknown dangers.
Even if they currently held the advantage, an unexpected change could turn the tide against them.
The best solution was to finish things quickly!
A seasoned warrior, Venus understood this well.
Without hesitation, she unleashed her inner [Order], becoming a streak of white light as she rushed ahead.
She quickly pierced through the deeper levels of the [Order] Tower, leaving the guards struggling to keep up.
As they attempted to chase her, War Goddess slamd her foot into the ground.
Instantly, a blood-red barrier expanded outward, covering an area dozens of miles wide, completely immobilizing the guards within.
The weaker ones exploded on the spot!
With most of the Celestial's top forces absent, these guards had no hope of resisting War Goddess' suppression.
They were trapped, unable to move.
Inside the Deepest Chamber
With no one to stop her, Venus quickly reached the central chamber.
There, she saw a black celestial sphere suspended in midair.
It resembled a black hole, trapping God of Light within its gravitational pull, relentlessly devouring his [Order] power.
Seeing her father nearly consud by the dark sphere, Venus' heart clenched.
Tears nearly fell from her eyes.
She had known that her father's situation was dire, but not to this extent!
Overco with emotion, Venus lunged forward.
"Father! Wake up!"
She gently cupped the pale, lifeless face of God of Light, her eyes filled with sorrow.
Her father-God of Light-once stood at the pinnacle of existence.
He had been unstoppably powerful, shaking the Celestial's dominion countless tis.
But now, he had beco frail, his once-proud figure covered in wrinkles, his vitality nearly drained.
He had been reduced from a mighty leader to a frail old man.
Venus could not accept this.
Clearly, the Celestial had failed to kill him directly, so instead, they had resorted to this vile thod-slowly draining his life away.
Under Venus' gentle calls, God of Light's eyes slowly opened.
Upon seeing Venus, the wariness in his gaze softened.
"Venus...?"
His voice was weak and uncertain.
Even with his vast reserves of power, God of Light had grown dangerously weak from his
prolonged imprisonnt.
Seeing her father awaken, Venus let out a deep breath.
Her sorrowful face was finally replaced with a relieved smile.
"Father, I'm getting you out of here!"
With that, Venus summoned her Light [Order], forming a brilliant white sun in her palm.
With a burst of pure energy, she shattered the dark celestial sphere, breaking it into countless
fragnts.
Freed from the black hole's grip, God of Light's spirit visibly revived.
His ashen-white hair slowly regained so of its natural black hue.
But instead of relief, God of Light's face twisted in suspicion.
How had Venus, who was only at the Throne Celestial level, so easily destroyed the Celestial's
Chaos Hole?
He had spent countless years struggling against it-yet never managed to weaken it.
Sothing was wrong.
Sensing his hesitation, Venus frowned.
"Father, are you feeling unwell?"
God of Light shook his head.
"I'm fine... but this rescue was too easy."
The Celestial's plans were vast and intricate-there was no way they would allow him to be
rescued so effortlessly.
Unless...
Unless the Celestial let him go on purpose.
But why?
If Tsukihi was pulling the strings behind the scenes...
Still, this was the Celestial's domain.
He didn't have enough ti to fully understand the situation, but one thing was clear-
Sothing was off.
A growing sense of unease took root in God of Light's heart.
As his daughter, Venus imdiately sensed his discomfort.
"Father, don't overthink it. Let's just get out of here first!" She refused to stay in this cursed place any longer. Supporting her father's frail body, she quickly led him away.
Once outside, Venus retrieved a flask of Water of Life and helped God of Light drink it.
As the life-giving water nourished his body, the deep wrinkles on his face began to fade. Simultaneously, his body emitted a radiant light, accelerating his recovery.
The spreading waves of his power illuminated the entire [Order] Tower, painting everything
in a pure white glow.
All guardians and beings within the tower shuddered in terror.
God of Light!
They recognized this energy all too well.
It was etched into their very souls.
Long ago, God of Light had been a true threat to the Celestial-a being beyond their ability to
contend with.
But hadn't the Celestial sealed him away?
Why had he returned?
Tsukihi's Palace
anwhile, within Tsukihi's palace, she gazed at the disturbance within the [Order]
Tower, her crescent-moon eyes gleaming with calculated intent.
Sensing God of Light's resurgence, a smile curled upon her lips.
"Just as my junior predicted, this God of Light might prove useful after all."
"If not... then in the tides of fate, he is dood to perish."
Tsukihi shook her head slightly.
She had been plotting for this day... for ages.
"This ti... let the rules be rewritten."
Her eyes glead with an unfathomable, eerie light, her smile unreadable and enigmatic.
