The Celestial Heist Chapter 132: Celestial Diplomacy
In the aftermath of the devastating celestial clash and the destruction of Seraphina's city, the fragile alliances among Naolin, Kael, and Draco were put to the test. The Americans, Russians, Naolin, and Kael had agreed to involve Draco, primarily to keep a watchful eye on him. However, they were well aware of his desire for power and control, which added a layer of tension to their diplomatic efforts.Seraphina, now in an alliance with the Chinese and Nigerians, held the artifact under strict conditions. The other celestial entities still sought possession of the artifact, and its missing piece remained a mystery.The humans, faced with the challenge of accessing the celestial realm, embarked on a journey of exploration. They scoured ancient texts and consulted with celestial beings like Vira, who had been discovered in the suburbs of New York while seeking information about the artifact's missing piece. However, the communication line between Vira and Naolin was intercepted by the A

The celestial artifact, their key to the cosmic gateway, pulsated with potential, bridging two worlds.Kael, the brilliant scholar, stood beside the celestial artifact, reciting the incantations that would activate its power.

Naolin's wisdom guided them through the intricacies of celestial rituals, ensuring their actions resonated with the cosmic frequencies.Draco, the enigmatic figure, oscillated between cooperation and suspicion.

The Celestial Heist Chapter 134: Celestial Reckonings
As the Celestial Marauders and their allies journey deeper into the celestial realm, they find themselves drawn to an ethereal glow. Following the shimmering trails, they arrive at the entrance to the hidden constellation of Elythria, which is shielded from the typical astral pathways by an intricate array of stars.The entrance, a swirling vortex of luminescent colors, seems to hum with an ancient energy. However, approaching it triggers a celestial barrier, preventing further progression. Suddenly, astral projections of Elythria's guardians materialize before them. These guardians, with their radiant forms and ageless faces, emanate an aura of wisdom and power.Naolin, sensing the immense knowledge and history they possess, steps forward, addressing the guardians with a tone of respect. "We seek the celestial artifacts and believe that Elythria holds a clue. Grant us passage."One of the guardians, with stars twinkling in its eyes, replies, "Only those who prove worthy may enter Ely
The Celestial Heist Chapter 135: "Ripples of Truth"
As the landscapes of Elythria unraveled in front of them, the Celestial Marauders found themselves at the entrance of a secluded cavern. Naolin approached with determined steps, her fingers lightly touching the celestial symbols that decorated its entrance. She whispered ancient incantations, her voice melding with the hum of the realm.The cavern's entrance gradually gave way, revealing an intricate chamber filled with shimmering inscriptions. The walls echoed stories of the cosmos, of battles fought and peace achieved. And right in the center, on a raised dais, lay an expansive celestial map detailing the realms and the flow of energies between them.Naolin, her eyes reflecting the myriad of colors around, began deciphering the map. She spoke softly, "These inscriptions speak of the celestial artifacts. They were not merely tools of power but keys, keys that maintained harmony within realms."Alaric, always intrigued by lore, added, "So, their dispersion upset the balance of realms.
The Celestial Heist Chapter 136: Fractures and Fidelities
The celestial chamber's once harmonious atmosphere became fraught with tension as Kael and Draco stood at opposing ends, the inscriptions of Elythria glowing softly between them."It's evident that the artifacts were meant to restore balance, not to be used as weapons!" Kael's voice echoed, his finger pointing at a segment of the inscription that depicted celestial bodies in harmonious alignment.Draco's eyes narrowed. "You're being naive, Kael. Power is never just about balance. It's about dominance, about securing one's realm." He motioned towards another section of the intricate carvings, showing celestial entities battling with radiant weapons.Seraphina attempted to mediate, her voice a calming whisper amidst the rising storm. "Both perspectives hold truth. We need unity now more than ever."Yet, their dispute did not go unnoticed. In the shadowy periphery of the chamber, ethereal eyes watched with interest. Whispers amongst the lesser celestial beings began to circulate. Rumors
The Celestial Heist Chapter 137: Shifting Alliances
On Earth, the undercurrents of the pending celestial warfare changed the geopolitical landscape drastically. Intelligence agencies buzzed with encrypted transmissions and the media was rife with speculations. Countries that were previously dormant on the world stage suddenly became significant players.India and Brazil, sensing the winds of change, initiated covert meetings to discuss their stance. South Africa, given its proximity and historic ties to Nigeria, became a focal point of negotiations. European nations, though individually smaller in comparison to the superpowers, began to unify their efforts, realizing the collective power they held.In quiet rooms and secret bunkers, world leaders and diplomats debated, negotiated, and strategized. The consensus was clear: in this new era, neutrality might not be an option. It was about survival, about ensuring their place in whatever world emerged from the impending celestial intervention.Meanwhile, in the celestial realm, Vira, ever-
The Celestial Heist Chapter 138: Solandor's Gambit
Solandor, with an aura of ancient wisdom and enigmatic power, leads Vira and the Celestial Marauders through a maze of shimmering astral pathways. Each step reveals a layer of starlit wonder, juxtaposed against the looming darkness of the Abyss of Echoes that they are destined to approach.Vira, being attuned to celestial energies, senses the weight of the journey. The closer they get to the Abyss, the more intense the pull of their own reflections becomes. Naolin, who has always been guided by intuition, feels haunted by past decisions, while Kael and Draco are consumed by internal struggles born from their opposing interpretations of the Elythrian inscriptions.The Abyss isn't just a physical location; it's an emotional and spiritual challenge, revealing the hidden depths of each traveler's soul. One by one, the Marauders confront their echoes: for Naolin, it's the choices she's made and the sacrifices for the greater good; for Kael, it's the burden of leadership and the cost of amb

Chapter 267: Veins of Darkness
The forest opened onto a valley shrouded in mist, its edges lined with jagged rocks that looked like the bones of some ancient beast. The silence hung thickly around them, interrupted only by the occasional whisper of the wind. The group paused at the edge of the valley, taking in the sight before them. Here, Lyra’s device picked up a strong concentration of dark energy—far stronger than any reading they’d encountered before.Kael surveyed the landscape, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword. “This place… it’s like it’s been swallowed by darkness.”Korrin nodded, his wings twitching as he scanned the area from above. “This isn’t just darkness. It’s more like a... wound in the land, something festering and spreading.”Naya closed her eyes briefly, focusing on the storm’s energy within her. It pulsed with a familiar rhythm, steady and calm, contrasting with the restless dark energy that permeated the valley. She could feel the storm’s presence lending her strength, helping her resis
Chapter 266: Secrets in Shadows
The forest thickened around them as they pressed forward, following the faint traces of energy that lingered like footprints in the damp soil. Every so often, Lyra would pause, her device humming as it captured the residual magic left by their mysterious adversary. It was clear now that the storm’s power had only been a fraction of the threat looming over them.Kael led the way, his movements silent but purposeful. He scanned the trees, alert to the shadows and any movement that could signify an ambush. Vira stayed close to him, her bow nocked with an arrow, her gaze sharp and unyielding. Behind them, Naya and Korrin walked side by side, the storm’s energy still pulsing faintly within Naya as a steady, grounding force.Lyra’s device gave a quiet beep, signaling a stronger trace. She stopped, glancing around cautiously before looking back at the group. “The energy’s getting stronger,” she whispered. “We’re close.”Kael nodded. “Stay sharp. If they’re as powerful as we’ve seen, they’ll
Chapter 265: Ripples of Power
The next morning dawned with a soft, golden light filtering through the trees, casting a gentle glow across their camp. For the first time in weeks, the group awoke feeling truly rested. The air was crisp and clear, the oppressive weight of the storm's presence no longer clinging to them. Naya breathed in deeply, feeling a calm she hadn’t felt in ages.As they gathered their things, Kael kept a vigilant eye on the tree line, his hand resting instinctively on his sword. The memory of the storm's followers still lingered in his mind, a quiet reminder that their journey was far from over."Do you think they're watching us?" Korrin asked, noticing Kael’s sharp gaze.Kael nodded. "Someone is always watching, especially now that we've disrupted their plans. They'll know what we did, and they'll be looking for a way to reclaim the storm's power."Lyra, who was securing her gear, glanced up. “Then let them watch,” she said, her voice steady. “Whatever they’re planning next, we’ll be ready.”A
Chapter 264: Echoes of Liberation
The air felt lighter as the group stood around the Shattered Spire, the storm’s energy now dissipated, leaving a profound silence that filled the forest. The oppressive weight that had followed them for days had lifted, and for the first time, Naya felt something close to peace. She lowered her staff, her shoulders relaxing as she absorbed the magnitude of what they had just accomplished.Kael sheathed his sword, his gaze softening as he looked at Naya. “You did it, Naya,” he said, his voice filled with a quiet pride that resonated with everyone around him. “You freed the storm.”Naya smiled, but it was a tired smile, weighed down by the journey she’d taken within herself. “We freed it,” she corrected gently, looking at each of them in turn. “I couldn’t have done it alone.”Vira rested her bow, letting out a long breath. “So... what happens now? If the storm is no longer under control, does that mean our fight is over?”Lyra, who had been watching her device for any lingering traces o
Chapter 263: A Gathering Storm
The morning sunlight filtered through the dense canopy, casting fragmented patterns across the forest floor as the group pressed on, their resolve hardening with each step. The weight of their mission was evident in every silent exchange, every cautious glance, and each moment they kept their weapons at the ready. The storm’s energy still lingered within Naya, steady but subdued, as if waiting for the right moment to surge once more.Lyra walked beside Naya, her scanner blinking softly as it mapped the forest’s energy. “If what you felt was true,” Lyra began, glancing over at her friend, “then this storm… it’s more than just a force. It has intentions, needs—almost like a living creature.”Naya nodded, her eyes fixed on the path ahead. “It’s bound, Lyra. It’s trapped, and I think whoever’s been summoning these storms is using that to their advantage.” She took a steadying breath. “It’s almost like it’s been manipulated for so long, it can’t remember freedom.”Kael walked slightly ahea
Chapter 262: Bound by the Storm
The group pressed onward through the forest, the night stretching on with a heavy stillness. Though they had repelled the storm's followers, a sense of impending danger lingered like the weight of an unseen shadow. Each step through the dense underbrush felt as though they were drawing closer to an unseen edge, a point of no return.Kael led the way, sword in hand, his expression hardened with purpose. Vira followed closely, her bow ready, her sharp gaze sweeping the surroundings. Korrin hovered above, his wings nearly silent as he kept watch, while Lyra studied the faint signals on her device, ever vigilant for more signs of storm energy. Naya walked in the center, her staff glowing faintly, its magic a quiet comfort against the storm’s incessant whispers.But tonight, the whispers felt different. Instead of calling her toward power, they murmured with an almost plaintive tone, as if the storm itself had something it needed her to understand.“Do you hear that?” she asked suddenly, b
Chapter 261: Shadows of Resolve
As the broken pieces of the obelisk lay scattered across the chamber, the oppressive silence of the storm’s dissipated energy settled around them. Kael lowered his sword and took in a deep breath, the tension finally easing from his shoulders. Each member of the group looked worn, their expressions marked with exhaustion and relief. The storm’s power was broken here, but they knew its echoes would follow them still.Vira was the first to break the silence, examining the fallen remnants of the obelisk with wary eyes. “We may have won this round, but it’s a temporary reprieve. That thing—the storm—it’s not finished with us.”Lyra nodded, her device still scanning faint pulses of energy lingering around the broken stone. “The storm is wounded, but it’s only pulled back. Like a beast waiting in the shadows, biding its time.”Kael turned to Naya, who was standing a few steps back, clutching her staff. Her expression was unreadable, but there was a new calm in her stance, a hard-won peace t
Chapter 260: The Brink of Darkness
The forest grew denser as the group moved forward, the thick canopy above blocking out the moonlight, leaving them in near-darkness. Shadows shifted around them, cast by the faint glow of Lyra’s device as she scanned for the next surge of storm energy. Their silence was heavy, punctuated only by their footsteps and the soft hum of residual magic lingering in the air.Kael led the way, his jaw clenched with a focus that kept the fatigue from showing. Naya walked close behind him, gripping her staff tightly, her eyes alert for any movement. The struggle against the storm’s whispers still lingered in her mind, but she felt a newfound resilience building within her. For the first time, she felt she could resist—not alone, but because her companions were beside her.Korrin swooped down from above, landing quietly beside them. “Path’s clear for now, but I don’t trust this silence. It feels like we’re walking straight into a trap.”Vira nodded, her bow ready. “It’s too quiet. The storm’s hol
Chapter 259: The Storm We Carry
The group pressed deeper into the forest, the tension between them crackling like the remnants of a thunderstorm. Each step forward felt heavier, as if the shadows clinging to the trees were feeding off their doubts and fears. The encounter with the storm-bound woman lingered in their minds—a warning, a threat, and a promise of what lay ahead.Kael’s hand rested on the hilt of his sword, the familiar weight grounding him. He cast a glance over his shoulder toward Naya, who walked just behind him, her gaze distant. The storm inside her was growing, and every moment they delayed felt like an invitation for it to take over.“You doing okay?” Kael asked quietly, falling back to walk beside her.Naya gave a quick nod, though the dark circles under her eyes told another story. “I’m fine. Just... tired.”“We’re all tired,” Korrin said from above, wings fluttering as he hovered near them. “But this storm won’t wait for us to catch our breath.”Kael frowned. “If you need a break—”“No,” Naya i
