{Somewhere in the Eternal}

"Have you done what was ordered?", asked a strange figure. "Yes, my lord", said the person, removing his clock hat, to reveal a middle-aged man with a sharply edged, shaved beard. "When those Eternals realize our plan it will be too late for them", said the strange man certain, "Yes, but my lord, the source of power has weaken because of the battle with Celestials, it will take a few hundred years before it's ready again", explain the man, "Yes, I know, Xi Jin", said the figure, "and in form the others that they can go ahead with the plan", added he and the man bowed and flashed off.

{Eternal Realm}

After being informed by the maid of the empress of the edict of the emperor, Arceus was assured about his decision, "Very well, you may go", said he (Arceus), "Yes", said the maid, and went out. As Arceus was standing in his room by his desk with a look of despair and uncertainty, Xuanyu came out from the bathroom, "So when do we leave", asked he (Xuanyu) standing in front of Arceus half-naked staring at him, "Put some clothes on before someone comes in, and we are leaving now", said Arceus sternly and Xuan Yu went to put on some clothes.

{Bifrost}

"Greetings, Lord Arceus, Lord Xuanyu, and Lord Xu Fung, Crown Prince (Zhi'an)", said all the gatekeepers. "Song Chu'an open the Bifrost to the Xearrion Kingdom", said Xuanyu seriously. As the gatekeepers proceeded to open the Bifrost, Arceus asked Zhi'an, "Why are you coming? I thought you disapprove of the edict".

"I am afraid that Qingtian might do something, and I am not certain or agree with father's edict", said Zhi'an, uncertain and angry. "I know, but we can't disobey, and she will be protected by your blood", said Xu Fung, assuring, looking at Arceus. The Bifrost opened, and they teleported.

{Shenyang Hall}

As the Bifrost opened and they teleported, Zhu'an watched from his terrace with a look of concern, "It has been done, with Arceus handling it, it well go perfect", said Tianyi as she walked out on to the terrace, "I know but letting that girl live is making me unpleasant", said he (Zhu'an) fearful and annoyed.

"Yes, I know but we can't do anything since Zhi'an has deicide to marry her, and even if we disagree with him his brothers will stand by him and then we face all our children", said Tianyi calmly and assuring, "Of all our children Arceus is the most like me, but he will do whatever it takes to protect his siblings", said Zhu'an certain, "Yes, which is why you give him a choice, you wicked man, his your son", said Tianyi having seen his plan.

"Which is precisely why he must choose", said Zhu'an sternly, "You knew he would make that choice, instead of letting his brother live in sin and despair, he would rather take that guilt and sin on himself", said she (Tianyi), smiling. As she smirked, Zhu'an put his arm around her waist and pulled her closer, and they looked at the closing bifrost.

"You truly are my wife".

{Xearrion Realm}

In the Xearrion kingdom, the people are going about their lives unaware of what is going on outside the city walls. Outside the city, the Xearrion army is standing in front of the main gate, "My Lord, we will stand with you until the end", said one Xearrion general (Kurakusho). "Thank you, but there is nothing we can do, old friend", said the Jingtian with a look of despair and a cracking voice.

As they looked, the Bifrost appeared above in the sky, a beam of light shot down, and out came Arceus, his brothers and Xuanyu, "Finally", said Xuanyu and they walked towards the Xearrion army, "Are you planning to rebel with your entire army Jingtian", said Xu Fung sarcastic, "How dare you!", said the Xearrion Crown prince (Jing Ke) before being interrupted by his father, "Don't… think of the people", said Jingtian calmly and assuring.

As he looked at his father, someone came flying down, and everyone was shocked, "Qingtian… what…", said Zhi'an, shocked, "Father, brother….", said she with tears in her eyes, "Don't worry, my child, we will be fine", said Jingtian, certain and calm.

As she wanted to go to them, she was stopped by Zhi'an, "No, stay here", said Zhi'an softly in her ear. "Let me go!!", shouted Qingtian and tried to get loose from his grip. "Let my sister go!!", shouted Jing Ke and tried to attack. But as he was about to attack, he was shot out of mid-air by Arceus, sending him flying backwards, landing hard on the ground, causing him to spit up blood.

"Brother!!!", shouted she and cried, "Insolent!", said Arceus, and he started to cultivate his energy and shot it into the sky, creating a magical array that covered the entire Xearrion capital city, , shooting thousands of light beams down onto the city, killing people inside the city. This shocked everyone: Jingtian, Jing Ke, Xu Fung, and Zhi'an. "Brother! Stop! The people are innocent", shouted Xu Fung.

The soldiers watching tried to run inside to save the people, but they were stopped by Xuanyu.

"Arceus, what are you doing? The people are innocent", shouted Zhi'an, shocked. "They are all Xearrion and must be killed", said Arceus with a look of death and killing instinct that caused Xu Fung to fear him, as well as Zhi'an.

The act committed by Arceus could be felt across creation, from the Heavenly Emperor in his Golden Halls to the Demon God in his Dark Abyss Prison. The despair and suffering of the Xearrion race could be felt, and it screamed across the cosmos.

The Xearrions started to attack but were stopped by Xu Fung, "Brother!", shouted he, but continued. Qingtian then broke free from Zhi'an and created a shield to protect the city, "Arceus No!", shouted Zhi'an as he saw Arceus ' intent, but Arceus used his power to break it, sending her flying back into Zhi'an's arms.

"No! ", shouted she (Qingtian) as her people were killed right in her presence; she could hear the screams of women, older people, and children all being slaughtered. "It's alright, it's okay", said Zhi'an, calmly trying to calm her.

As Arceus continued to kill to people, the prince tried to get up and stop him but he was heavily injured and fell to the ground again, "Stop!!!, please stop", cried he, "They did nothing!!!", shouted he at Arceus, "Please, I beg you, stop!!!", wailed he but to no avail.

{Heavenly Palace}

"Can you feel that every single life of the Xearrion people is vanishing", said the Heavenly empress, concerned. "Don't worry, it was bound to happen considering his temper", said Yuxuan (Heavenly Emperor). "Gods, bless their souls, that poor princess", said Shen Ming (Heavenly Empress) in a sad voice.

{Outside Xearrion City}

 Arceus stopped and turned his attention to the army and started to create two whips from his hands with his energy, and he started to whip every single soldier present turning them into dust and Qingtian looked on in despair, "I can't sense any living thing inside the city", said she heartbroken in a cracked voice and Zhi'an looking at Arceus in fear.

After a while, Arceus stopped. He had killed every single one in the city and every single one of the Xearrion soldiers, and he looked on with no emotion on his face. The Xearrion King was kneeling down in the middle of his dead army, "I have failed you", said he before a flash of light struck him and he disappeared into a wind of dust with his children looking on.

They started to scream, "No!!!! Father", wailed Qingtian. She shouted and cried so loud that it could be heard across the quiet, dead city, echoing; she fainted from despair. The prince looked on and cried, "You will pay for this", said Jing Ke. Knowing he couldn't face them, he flashed away instantly. Xu Fung wanted to go after him, but was stopped by Zhi'an, "No, leave him", said he sternly.

As they looked over the corpses of the dead, they flew up in the sky looking down upon the kingdom, "You will have to explain to father", said Xu Fung to Zhi'an, and he looked at him and nodded. Arceus then created a small ball of energy and sent it falling. When it reached the ground, it fell right through and moments later a massive explosion occurred and the kingdom was annihilated, very structure that stood was dust, the whole planet on which the Xearrion Kingdom was located was gone, nothing, just dust in the vastness of the void.

The Bifrost opened, and they teleported back.
