As Noah and Athena sat down with the one called Commanding Officer Raziel and Grandmaster Vredral, the picture of the Celestial Realm gradually became clearer in their eyes.
The location known as the Sanctum was the first area that the Celestial colonized, going on to build a central base here as they gradually expanded over the years.
This expansion was a tug of war between them and the inhabitants that could be found in this Celestial Realm- the Celestial Beasts!
They were termed this simply as they were the regal and monstrous beasts that could be found all over this Celestial Realm, but others also knew them by another name because of their prime feature.
They were also known as...Behemoths!
Noah could feel his heart pounding as he listened to the carefully given lecture by the Commanding Officer Raizel, the picture of this Celestial Realm only getting bigger and bigger as the image of these beasts called Behemoths filled his mind.
They were called Behemoths simply because of their monstrous size, where just a single one was like an entire moving building!
In the explored areas that Celestials had observed so far, the smallest of these Celestial Beasts had turned out to be 50 meters! This was a shocking size for a normal beast, actually being 25 times Noah's human stature, where even in his Lesser Cthulhu form he would still be considered smaller.
These were the beasts populating the Celestial Realm, these were the Celestial Beasts known as Behemoths!
"You will be lucky to come across one that would usually be protecting a certain area which is usually filled with treasures. If you come across 2 or 3 Behemoths congregating, then it means the treasure is especially more potent and rare."
The Commanding Officer Raizel said with a solemn tone as his eyes locked in towards Athena and Noah.
"The defenses of these Behemoths are extremely terrifying, where we have come to learn that they have insane resistance to many laws, and only Supreme Laws like the Law of Fate are extremely effective in pa.s.sing through their defenses. It takes other attacks twice as much time just to get through their thick skin."
The story continued as the descriptions of the Celestial Beasts became more clearer in Noah's eyes.
The Behemoths had horrendous levels of defenses, and this also stood the same with their attacks! You could actually come across a Behemoth that held huge attainments in the Law of Water and find yourself outmatched as they used spectacular skills you could not easily defend against.
"The even more ferocious Behemoths are those that are proficient in Supreme Laws. It is these beasts that act independently and are the main cause of us losing an area we already explored and claimed, where we face monstrous casualties every time a Behemoth at such a level comes to these areas."
The face of the Commanding Officer Raizel only became more and more solemn as he talked about the ferociousness of the Celestial Beasts.
Because of the terrible power of these beasts, when the Celestials moved to explore the Celestial Realm, they always moved in teams in order to match these Behemoths that they came across!
This created an atmosphere where numerous teams were created in the Sanctum for the purposes of hunting down Behemoths.
"These Celestial Beasts are extremely dangerous, but their rewards are also just as stupendous. This is what propels the many teams formed in the Sanctum forward, as aside from the areas filled with treasures that these beasts protected, their own bodies contain unheard of materials that are drenched with the universal laws!"
Yes! Aside from the abundant rewards you could claim from the area that the Celestial Beast was protecting, their bodies themselves were profound materials that carried with them the laws that the Behemoths were proficient in.
When Noah heard the mention of materials, his heart beat slightly faster as he knew he was already sold on everything about these Behemoths, but they just continued to tell him more and more things that made him want to go out and start exploring right away!
"Those capable of carrying bodies of Behemoths back, or those with achievements in the Law of s.p.a.ce that can easily transport them are favored as a single Behemoth's body is a valuable treasure trove that could be enjoyed for days. Its meat alone holds special properties and rejuvenates you with energy, and their Origin Cores are something we have never come across before anywhere else."
Thus, it was extremely crucial to form a good hunting team to go and explore the Celestial Realm, as if you attached yourself to a single good team that had a powerful figure, you would be feasting on treasures and delectable meats for years to come!
"Teams are crucial in the Sanctum, as the power of the Behemoths is simply that great, forcing us to group up if we want to ensure our lives. Too many geniuses have overestimated their abilities as they left to hunt alone, being successful at first as they were able to keep all the treasures they found to themselves. But…"
The eyes of Commanding Officer Raizel became cold as he said the next words.
"...eventually they chance upon a Behemoth that they cannot handle alone, and escaping a Behemoth is a rare thing to occur in the Celestial Realm."
The message was clear- no matter what type of genius you thought yourself to be, it did not apply in the Celestial Realm!
The Behemoths dwelling within are that terrifying, that even the strongest of the Celestials made sure to always move in groups.
"You two are those with n.o.ble Fates, so I'm sure multiple teams will be scouting for you to join them as soon as word about your arrival spreads. If you didn't know, those with n.o.ble Fates actually hold another t.i.tle in the Sanctum, and that t.i.tle is...Golden Goose!"
Boisterous laughter erupted from Commanding Officer Raizel and Grandmaster Vredral as they looked at each other and laughed at this mention, Noah and Athena turning towards each other as sharp lights pa.s.sed through their eyes.
Their supposed n.o.ble Fates meant that their exploration in this Celestial Realm was bound to be filled with dangers and great opportunities.
The new information about the Celestial Beasts that were known as Behemoths rolled around in Noah's mind as he wanted to soon try them himself!
