Hitachi – The Storm Guardian (Part 7: The Celestial Rift)
313 Words
A year after the defeat of the Void Emperor, peace returned once again.
The Seven Guardians continued protecting Earth while rebuilding the Guardian Academy. For the first time in centuries, the world seemed safe.
Then something impossible happened.
A giant c***k appeared in space above the Moon.
Unlike the portals of the Shadow King or the Void Emperor, this rift glowed with strange colors that no one had ever seen before.
Sirius stared at it in horror.
"That's not a portal."
"Then what is it?" Hitachi asked.
Sirius remained silent.
Finally, he answered.
"It's a tear between realities."
Before anyone could react, a massive object emerged from the rift.
It resembled a black crystal fortress larger than an entire city.
Thousands of strange ships surrounded it.
At the center stood a mysterious figure wearing silver armor.
"My name is Chronos."
His voice echoed across Earth.
"I come from the First Reality."
The Guardians had never heard of such a place.
Chronos explained that countless realities existed beyond the universe. Long ago, his civilization protected them all.
But now something was destroying entire realities one by one.
"We tracked the source."
He pointed toward Earth.
"It is here."
The Guardians were shocked.
They had just saved the universe.
How could Earth be responsible?
Chronos revealed an ancient secret.
The Sky Core, which had chosen Hitachi years ago, was not created in their universe.
It came from beyond reality itself.
And now something was searching for it.
Something far more dangerous than the Void Emperor.
Suddenly, the Celestial Rift expanded.
A gigantic hand emerged from the darkness beyond reality.
Entire mountains began floating into the sky.
Oceans rose from their shores.
Gravity itself started breaking apart.
"The Devourer..." Chronos whispered.
"Run."
For the first time, Hitachi saw genuine fear in the eyes of a warrior who traveled between realities.
The battle for existence had begun
