Flames of War

The Great Celestial stood in front of me like a mountain, waiting for my answer, I put on a power ring, created a protective aura. and flew up to the celestial.

"What do you want, Arishem?"

{Your help is needed to prevent the end of all things, Azmuth}.

Okay, this might be important. I look directly at him to find out the details of the situation, he raises his hand and here I am already standing on the palm of a red giant, and then the space around him changes.

Images of pure darkness without stars or planets, just a black void, and then a great light appears, and the Celestials bombard the void with light and life.

But the void was not uninhabited, there was a creature, and he did not like it when they invaded his domain. And he attacked one of the Celestials. A sword emerged from the shadows, with which he beheaded him. The others responded by banishing the creature into the darkness, which was a mistake, as he took the severed head with him.

And years later, he returned in black armor, with a necro sword and an army of creatures emanating from his evil essence.

Space returned to normal and I waved at Arishem to show that I understood the threat and the trouble it would bring. If we want to win this war, we will have to use our big guns. I said goodbye and returned to my ship to make a plan. Knull is not an easy opponent and I will have to use everything at my disposal.

My ring signaled new information, I received it and was saddened by the death of my Lantern, but proud of the courage with which he faced the enemy, although I knew that he would not win, I still tried my best to convey the information.

Arriving on Oa through the asteroid belt, I see a city that was already the size of England, its colors mostly white and green with some blue dots. I saw some green footprints flying were Lanterns that used this place as a base.

Arriving at the landing site, I was greeted by the security androids who take care of the city. They were based on medieval armor with a greater speed that would humiliate several combat drones.

I went to the assembly hall and summoned the leaders of the Lanterns. Only Flora remained, as the others died of old age, and Zaamur died in battle protecting an inhabited world that had been consumed by Galactus. He fought for nine consecutive days, long enough for the inhabitants to evacuate, but the strain took a toll on his already aged heart and he died in a battle that would go on for millennia across all the worlds.

Now I am waiting for the arrival of my commanders, and soon we begin to discuss the situation. After I explained the threat level, they nodded.

"Sir, what can we do? Our best Lanterns are solving the problem of slave smuggling in Sector 814." The Kree lantern in charge of the military said.

“I usually only intervene when the situation affects the entire cosmos, and this is much more important than some smugglers who can then be caught. Unfortunately, Riggor, this is not just their business, we are going to war, causing a threat to all veterans and new recruits on a cosmic level."

They waved their hands and went to their posts to follow my orders. And then I requested Knull's last location from Minerva, and she showed a general map of the sectors, and Knull's last location is somewhat ironic, because he will soon arrive at sector 666 if he continues at the same pace.

"Minerva, send an order to the Lanterns in this sector to evacuate as much sentient life as possible, a battle of this magnitude will destroy most of it."

{Yes sir, I will do it immediately}.

She complied with my request, and soon all the Lanterns were called to return to Oa, and they all knew what that meant because they had gone through rigorous training that had been perfected over the last hundred years of the company's existence.

'War'. All the Lanterns thought, whether they were veterans or novice cadets, each of them knew that this was the beginning of the first war the unit would face.

I asked Minerva to collect all the data on Knull's darkness, if I remember the saga well, he was defeated thanks to a light entity that was conveniently located on Earth, but I don't think I'll be so lucky, I need facts.

Analyzing the data, the darkness seems to consume everything without caring about anything, but it wants to consume a particularly bright light, which is interesting as it indicates that there may be a limit to this, but I will need more firepower.

"Let me know if anything happens while I'm working on something, and until then don't bother me until the whole sector is in danger."

And soon I began work on my new project, which can give us a chance to win this war with as few losses as possible.
