As Wang Yang shattered the fusion of the Celestial Order, the dozen or so members of the Celestial Order looked at him in shock.
Especially after hearing Wang Yang's words, they were even more stunned. Was this human mage the source of dark magic?
But before they could process this shock, Wang Yang was already preparing to strike.
"No time to waste!"
Wang Yang raised his hand. Countless dense black auras gathered, forming spears aimed at the members of the Celestial Order. With a flash of black light, the spears shot towards them.
Seeing the spears coming, the Celestial Order members quickly conjured powerful magical shields. These shields could withstand the power of a planet's explosion. However, against the black spears, they were as fragile as paper instantly pierced through.
The members of the Celestial Order, including the Judge, were alarmed. As they rarely encountered such a situation, they were now genuinely frightened.
Suddenly, a soft sigh echoed. Ripples spread across the universe, causing strange changes in time and space. The spears, about to impale the Celestial Order members, seemed to be caught by invisible hands, halting just before impact.
Seeing this, Wang Yang raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Hiding in the shadows, huh?"
He unleashed his immense power, spreading his magical energy across the galaxy, making it his domain.
"Do you think you can hide from me?"
Wang Yang's godlike power enveloped the universe. As his divine energy spread, a mighty force scattered in all directions. Soon, his eyes brightened.
"How long do you plan to hide?"
With a flash of divine power, Wang Yang pinpointed the hidden figure. A blade materialized from the force, slashing toward the secret location.
Clang!
The substantial blade was blocked by a large yellow hand resembling a robot's hand. Dense golden energy radiated from it, making Wang Yang more cautious. Spatial distortions emanated around the golden hand, revealing a golden figure stepping out.
The figure, wearing a mask and having a mystical circular structure on his chest, exuded a divine aura. His presence caused the universe to tremble.
Wang Yang observed the figure and recognized the familiar aura of the Celestial Order.
"Are you part of the Celestial Order?" Wang Yang asked, surprised to find another member.
"Yes, I am their leader," the figure said slowly, his voice aged and filled with wisdom.
"The leader?" Wang Yang was surprised. "You command them?"
The figure nodded. "In a sense, yes. I oversee their operations."
The leader of the Celestial Order seemed kind despite his powerful presence, which likely rivaled any of the five great cosmic beings.
"You want to save them?" Wang Yang asked.
"Yes. Would you consider sparing them? They can apologize to you," the leader humbly requested.
"Why should I spare them on your account?" Wang Yang replied coldly.
The leader sighed, "Perhaps my word doesn't hold much weight, but you should consider the laws of this universe. They were maintaining the order of the universe. If they die, it might cause greater chaos. Surely you don't want your home to descend into disorder?"
His words, filled with cosmic truths and sincerity, did not impress Wang Yang.
"Maintaining the order of the universe? By exploiting planetary energy and its beings to incubate Celestials? That's your idea of peace?" Wang Yang scoffed.
He found their claims hypocritical. They should have stopped beings like Galactus if they indeed maintained cosmic order. But they hadn't, proving their actions were self-serving.
"You have not even opposed Galactus. Your so-called order is for your benefit. You're just powerful beings imposing your will," Wang Yang said disdainfully.
The leader of the Celestial Order looked bitter. "We don't just destroy planets; we document civilizations and help them develop. We even helped Earth by creating the X-gene, giving humans superpowers. We aim to maintain order, but we can only do so much. Would you sacrifice yourself for your planet?"
"I wouldn't. But I won't claim to be maintaining order while destroying," Wang Yang replied. "The universe might be better off without the Celestial Order."
The leader sighed. "It seems we have nothing to discuss."
"You think I'll let you destroy my planet and then spare you? No way," Wang Yang declared. Protecting Earth was his duty, especially against such threats.
Seeing Wang Yang's resolve, the leader sighed deeply. He realized that talking would not sway Wang Yang.
"Looks like a battle is inevitable. But I have a proposal," the leader said.
"What is it?" Wang Yang asked.
"If I win, I won't destroy Earth. If you win, you spare them," the leader proposed, hoping Wang Yang would reconsider, seeing his power.
Wang Yang shook his head. "You Celestials tried to destroy my planet. Why should I spare you now that you want to?"
Seeing their leader's polite request rejected, the Celestial members were displeased. Even if Wang Yang was strong, he couldn't defeat their leader.
"So, what do you want?" the leader asked calmly.
"Defeat me first," Wang Yang shouted, charging at the leader of the Celestial Order.
