The Divine Dissimulation [Complete]

Chapter 26 The End of the Multi-Millennial War.

The introduction of enlisted humans changed the tide of the conflict. The Zetans weaponry and technology were superior to that of the Xenos, and with the influx of human recruits, the Xenos could no longer capitalise on their superior numbers. The conflict was prolonged because the Xenos was adamantly against the concept of diplomacy and surrendering. The Xeno society held the idea that they were superior species, and they fought to the last individual in every battle instead of surrendering to the stronger Zetan forces.

What made it hard for the Xenos to even considering surrender was that most enemies they saw in battle were humans, a race they considered to be inferior to themselves. While this opinion was factually correct, the humans fighting for the Zetans had superior weaponry and could slowly grind down the Xenos on every planet.

3000 years after the Zetans had introduced human soldiers their forces reached the Xeno homeworld of Xenora. With the Xenos on the brink of extinction the Xeno leadership finally decided to negotiate with Zetan. The negotiations dragged on forever, and the delays was a deliberate plan by the Xenos. They Xenos wanted to distract the Zetan from their plan: to send a space shuttle to the star Alpha Omega, the most massive star in the galaxy located close to the centre of the Zetan galactic civilisation. The Xenos blew up Alpha Omega using a secret newly developed technology. This created a massive supernova explosion. The shockwave from this explosion annihilated the Zetan homeworld of Zetani, which signalled the beginning of the end of the Zetans as a dominant race and galactic civilisation.  Enraged by having their homeworld destroyed, the Zetans showed no mercy towards the Xenos and nuked the Xenora to ashes. Combined with their unwillingness to surrender in the earlier battles this led to the supposed extinction of the Xeno species and civilization.

For the Zetans the decline came a bit slower, but it was still inevitable. The Zetans had lost their primordial Zeto Crystals, which was divine crystals containing the soul of the True Maker. The Zeto crystals had aided the Zetan abilities and made the pursue the same goal. The Zeto Crystals had united the Zetans and stopped them from fighting each other.

With the Zeto Crystals gone, the Zetan civilisation was split up with every planet for itself. The Zetans on the different planets were very different genetically from each other, and without the Zeto crystals uniting them they started self-determine as separate species, and they started fighting each other.  Thus, the centre of the galaxy was still inhabited, but now it was by separate species focusing on their own planets. The remaining humans from the Zetan army resettled on the planet Terra Nova, ended up fighting each other and eventually faded to obscurity due to the limited amount of females among them.
