Chapter 5: The Three Armies
With the establishment of the Divine Triad and the creation of the Three Castles, the next crucial step in securing the multiverse was the formation of their respective armies. Power alone could not maintain balance; it was the strength of their forces that would ensure that the realms remained protected and that no chaos would rise to threaten them again.
The Divine Triad needed an army that could not only defend the castles but also stand against the forces that would seek to invade or upset the delicate order they had established.

Ashborn's Celestial Army
Ashborn, the Absolute Celestial Being, turned to the World Tree, which had begun to bear fruit once more. These fruits were imbued with the divine essence of creation and balance, and from them sprouted an army like no other—a legion of heavenly soldiers. Each soldier, formed from the purest celestial energy, had the beauty and elegance of divine beings, yet the strength and precision of skilled warriors.
These silver soldiers were clad in silver armor that shimmered with the light of the heavens, their golden helmets reflecting the radiance of stars. Each carried a spear, though some wielded the mighty one-edged sword, symbolizing Ashborn's celestial mastery over light and judgment. Some soldiers even bore two to four wings, their flight as graceful as the wind itself.
Ashborn's army was a reflection of his divine nature—pure, unyielding, and vast. These heavenly soldiers, birthed from the World Tree, were bound by a singular purpose: to protect the multiverse from any force that threatened its harmony. Under Ashborn's command, they would serve as the celestial guardians of the realms, ensuring that no malevolent force could rise to disrupt the delicate balance.
Yet, Ashborn knew that even this army would not be enough. The forces of chaos were unpredictable, and their strength could not always be countered by divine might alone.

Sung Jinwoo's Shadow Army
Sung Jinwoo, the Absolute Humanoid Being, and the Shadow Monarch, already commanded the most formidable army—the Shadow Soldiers. These billions of soldiers, born from the darkness itself, were his loyal warriors, bound by the power of his Shadow Monarch's Crown. They were powerful, eternal, and relentless—each shadow soldier capable of fighting across realms, hunting down enemies with precision and speed.
But despite the vastness of his shadow army, Jinwoo knew that sheer numbers alone could not win battles against the coming threats. The shadows must evolve. They needed more than just obedience and strength—they needed to be living beings, with the ability to grow, adapt, and multiply.
With a wave of his hand, Sung Jinwoo materialized his shadow soldiers, turning them from mere wraith-like beings into living entities. He bestowed upon them black hearts, a gift that allowed them to experience life, emotion, and the ability to reproduce. These new soldiers, now called Shadow Lords, were no longer just part of the darkness—they were beings in their own right, capable of growth and evolution.
Each Shadow Lord possessed the full powers of the Shadow Monarch: they could command their own shadow armies and create shadow worlds—pocket realms that existed in the shadows of reality. Each Shadow Lord, upon taking a form of their own, became not just a warrior but a leader in their own right, capable of building their own domain within the darkness.
The Shadow Lords were a new species—immortal warriors who could grow in strength and command their own legions of shadow soldiers. With their shadow armies, they could invade enemy territories, control entire realms, and create vast networks of shadow worlds. They would serve as the foundation of Sung Jinwoo's new living army—one that would grow exponentially and provide him with an ever-expanding force capable of overwhelming any threat that might arise.

Sung Su-Ho's Fiery Dragon Soldiers
Sung Su-Ho, the Absolute Dragonic Being, also had an army forged in his image. His soldiers were no ordinary beings—they were fiery shadow soldiers, warriors born of the elements of fire and shadow. These soldiers were imbued with the essence of both dragons and shadow—beasts of flame and darkness, bound to Su-Ho's will.
While the fiery shadow soldiers were formidable, their strength was still bound by the limitations of their current forms. Sung Su-Ho knew that he needed an army that could match the scale of the threats facing the multiverse—a force that could not only fight but evolve and grow in power.
In an unprecedented act, Su-Ho materialized his fiery shadow soldiers, transforming them into living beings. He gave them dragon hearts, powerful cores that allowed them to not only live but to possess the ability to reproduce and grow stronger with each passing generation. These new Fiery Dragon Lords were not bound by the limitations of their previous forms. They could now transform into dragons, taking on the terrifying and majestic forms of their draconic heritage.
Each Fiery Dragon Lord now possessed the abilities of both the shadow monarch and the dragon monarch. They could create shadow armies and shadow worlds, but they also retained the primal strength of dragons—elemental power, vast flight, and a connection to the very heart of creation and destruction.
The Fiery Dragon Lords were more than just soldiers—they were living entities capable of leading their own legions. They would serve as the vanguard of Su-Ho's forces, defending the multiverse with the burning fury of dragons and the cunning of shadows. Their power would continue to grow, and with each new generation, they would become more formidable, more devastating.

The Three Armies Unite
Now, the Divine Triad stood not only as rulers of the multiverse but as the commanders of three immense armies—each unique, each born of their own essence. Ashborn's heavenly soldiers, Jinwoo's Shadow Lords, and Su-Ho's Fiery Dragon Lords were powerful in their own right. But together, they formed an unstoppable force—one that could withstand any invasion, combat any enemy, and ensure that the balance of the multiverse would be preserved.
Yet, despite their growing strength, the Divine Triad knew that their enemies would not rest. The multiverse was vast, and there were forces—some known, some unknown—that sought to disrupt the peace they had fought so hard to secure. But with their combined might and the strength of their new armies, they were ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
