Chapter 186: Gods Vs Celestials
"Sir, our satellite near Mars just got disconnected. We tried sending many commands but received no acknowledgment." A technician reported it to the mission controller.
"This has happened before..." He stopped speaking as he heard some noises from the control room.
He went in to check and his mouth went agape looking at the screen. "What is this?"
"This is the last image our satellite sent." Another technician replied.
On the screen, various humongous humanoid people were seen. An even bigger spaceship was following behind them.
"Get me the President on the line, FAST." He shouted.
...
Someone had released the image on the internet and people were saying it was fake as it didn\'t come from the official channel. People knew aliens existed but it was hard to believe that aliens bigger than skyscrapers could exist.White House, Oval Office.
Obama was at a joint meeting with NASA and SHIELD.
"Director, you have better tech than Nasa. Can you tell me more?" The president asked Fury.
"Ah yes. We\'ve known about them for a while now. They are an alien species older than our Universe. We used to pray to them as gods too." Fury said.
"You mean like the Asgardians?" Obama asked.
"Yes and No. Mr. President, these new aliens are way older than the Asgardians and way stronger than them. They were the ones who made us humans from chimps and also gave the X gene to mutants. We are like lab rats to them and they are coming to see results. If they don\'t like it they\'ll destroy the earth and rebuild it to continue testing on the next life." Fury bluntly explained. He had received a green light from Alexander to terrify the president.
"Do we have any way to counter them?" He asked.
"No sir. We are simple and weak little humans. The population that had superpowers was oppressed by us for a long time and I\'m sure even they won\'t be of any help. I have received word that various gods from different pantheons have joined hands and will try to stop them. But even if they lose then we have the last line of defense." Fury answered.
"Who is this last line of defense?" Obama asked.
"It\'s General Universe, sir." He replied.
"Is he Stronger than these gods?" He inquired.
"Stronger than Asgardians and others? Yes. Stronger than the Celestials? I don\'t know. We can only hope that he is." Fury said.
"Yes, we can only hope."
...
Outside, it was night time with a clear sky. The moon was clearly visible. But the moon wasn\'t the only thing visible that day.
People were pointing at the sky and talking in horror. Multiple big figures could be seen near the moon. The big people were looking at the moon like they were talking.
The people knew it was aliens and ran to their home with the hope that the fight wouldn\'t be near them.
The Avengers were alerted but they were too weak to meddle in this situation so they were only deployed to keep the public calm.
...
On the Moon. The Forth Host had arrived and was talking with the various gods. There were 11 of them in total.
Arishem the Judge. Arishem was the first Celestial to visit the planet when the time for judgment occurs. If he decides against a race, he summons Exitar to destroy the race. Arishem has in his palm the formula he uses to decide whether a race will live or die.
Eson the Searcher. Eson is the first Celestial to visit a given planet. He arrives when life there has yet to evolve into intelligence. Eson possesses the skills to locate lifeforms that have the potential to be modified by the Celestials.
Exitar the Exterminator. Exitar is an enormous Celestial (some 20,000 feet tall compared to the standard 2,000 feet for a Celestial) that appears on a world if Arishem has condemned it. After a short period to gather his energies, Exitar acts. First, he throws a force field around the planet, then he exterminates the condemned race.
Once that is accomplished, he cleanses the world and rebuilds it in order that other life may flourish there. Obviously, Exitar\'s destructive power goes far beyond the scope of any one planet (as does all Celestials) and it may be possible that he has and does perform his function on a much larger scale. While Exitar appears to be the most powerful known Celestial, he simply acts as any another member of the Host performing his specific function.
Gammenon the Gatherer. His goal is to locate and gather specimens of each lifeform found on the planet under study. Gammenon has the ability to transform targets into "lifeseed capsules". He stores these blocks on the end of his rod. Living organisms thus transformed remain in suspended animation until the capsule is retransformed into those beings\' original shapes.
Hargen the Measurer. Hargen appears alongside the rest of the Celestial Host. Hargen collects the data that Nezar uses to determine the probable futures of the lifeforms under examination.
Jemiah the Analyzer. Jemiah acts in concert with Gammenon. Jemiah possesses the ability to analyze every possible aspect of a sample lifeform.
Nezarr the Calculator. Nezar appears alongside Gammenon and Hargen. Nezar is able to use Hargen\'s data to determine the probable future of the lifeforms under examination accurately.
One Above All. This Celestial acts as the coordinator for the rest of the Host. He remains on their base ship while the rest of the host roams the planet below.
Oneg the Prober. Oneg appears along with the rest of the Celestial Host. He explores the actual planet itself rather than the lifeforms there.
Tefral the Surveyor. He studies the surface features of the planet under examination, including the structures built by the dominant race.
Ziran the Tester. He studies the actions of the chosen race, especially their reaction to the Celestials\' presence.
Arishem the Judge was supposed to preside over the Fourth Host. The other Celestials were waiting in the big spaceship.
"You, didn\'t you learn your lesson the previous time? We will surely destroy your dimensional bridge between Terra and you this time." Arishem loudly said.
Odin was the first to speak from God\'s side, "We\'ve had enough of you. You have no right to judge any species or destroy it. We were unprepared the last time. But this time we will not back down."
"Then we will teach you what it means to disobey us," Arishem announced and the other Celestials also got out of the space ship. All except Exitar the Exterminator as he was just too OP.
Odin quickly got into his Destroyer armor which was as big as a normal celestial, he also picked his enlarged Odinsword. Zeus also had some kind of armor. All the other gods took out their best weapons.
The Eternals also got ready to fight. Ikaris had already prepared to summon the Uni-mind if things go out of control.
...
Alexander watched everything turn out on the moon as he walked to his armory in Phixheim.
"Alfred, is my armor ready?" He asked.
"Yes, boss. The Godkiller is ready. I have made it stronger with the Infinity Stones, M\'Kraan Crystal, and Apec. I\'m pretty sure the Celestials won\'t be a match for it." Alfred revealed.
"Haha... Good job. It will soon be my time to come out. I don\'t think they can take on all the Celestials alone." He said and walked to the God Killer and stored it in his personal pocket space.
"Alright, I\'ll go out and check how people of the world are doing." He said and left.
Outside, most things were normal. Except for one group. The Deviants still prayed to Celestials and thought that they\'d be given blessings. The fools didn\'t know that their whole curse of bad genetics was their gift from Celestials.
The countries which had monitoring satellites near the moon were looking at the fight secretly. Though many people had started live streaming with their telescopes. It wasn\'t high quality but they could see that something was going on.
Most of the streets were empty as people hid themselves in their homes. Some had even started praying to gods. The same gods who were fighting for them on Moon.

[Extra - Because it\'s my birthday]]
Earth - Real World.
A certain runaway Gorilla from the zoo was happily writing chapters for his fan-fiction. It was his birthday that day so he decided to write early and party in the evening.
"Ah, those banana vendors haven\'t returned since Corona chan got one of them. I miss bananas." He sadly sighed.
*Ding Dong*
Gorilla heard the bell and opened the door. He wasn\'t expecting what he was about to see.
As soon as he opened the door someone released confetti cannon straight to his face. It hit him on the head at point-blank and gorilla fell unconscious.
"Argh... What the hell was that?" He slowly got up. He found himself on his bed, thinking it was a dream he thought of getting to writing.
But then he looked at his side and shouted like a little girl. He saw a man in a red and black Deadpool costume covering his whole body. And on that, he was also wearing a banana costume.
"Happy Birthday, Gorilla. You can eat me, aaaall you want." Deadpool said with a sultry voice.
"W-Who are you?" Gorilla fearfully asked. Refusing to accept that this could happen.
Deadpool slowly crawled towards him. Gorilla also receded into a corner.
"Oh, don\'t you remember me? It\'s me. Captain Delicious Pants. I came just for you. Now... come and eat me..." He jumped on the scared Gorilla.
After that, only loud cries of a Gorilla could be heard from that house for the next few hours. Neighbors thought it was someone watching Animal Planet at high volume so no one came to check up on the poor friendly neighborhood Gorilla.
