Elian gulped with fear, maintaining his silence upon learning that Indra fought a battle against 30 million Supreme Deities, including Lady Lumina herself. The war lasted 6 million years, and in the end, Lord Indra emerged victorious.
"So... what was the outcome? How many Luminaries survived? What about Lady Lumina?"
"Lady Lumina, being a supreme leader herself, survived. However, it came at a great cost: nearly 60% of the Luminaries were wiped out of celestial existence, forcing them to retreat."
"And Lord Indra? Did he take any damage?"
"Although Lord Indra embodies power and strength, which he fully displayed in the battle of the celestials, he did sustain damage..."
"Who... who did it?"
"Lady Lumina herself. At the cost of nearly losing all of her light, she managed to damage Lord Indra with her celestial spear just enough to create a chance to retreat. Otherwise, the Luminaries would have been wiped out completely."

"I can't help but notice you keep mentioning this light... what is it?"
"You see, celestial beings or deities aren't exactly like humans. They cannot manifest physical bodies as humans do. The supreme beings are made of the substance known as light. Now, to your point, do you remember why you fell unconscious?"
"It happened so quickly, but as far as I can recall, people started collapsing when there was this... explosion... explosion of light..."
"You're quick to understand. The deities that came to the physical realm bestowed light upon you humans. This means that while your body is mostly a physical manifestation, it is now infused with the light from the supreme beings."
"So... you mean I am also... a deity now?"
"Not exactly. You are infused with light, but as of now..." the will said with great concern.
"What do you mean... as of now?"
"That, I can't say. However, what you need to know is that upon waking up, you must stay collected. The world you are about to enter is not the peaceful Earth you remember. There will be great calamities, and you'll face many hardships. But you must stay true to yourself..."
"BUT... I CAN'T JUST..."
"Elian, before I go, I want you to know that a new realm will connect to Earth through a portal, the same one from which the deities first arrived... the portal to...
THE DUELING REALM."
