Magus Wars : Warriors

**Magus Wars : Warriors** is a Story Arc of the Exteria Multiverse. It takes place in the Heroic Sanctum and follows the perspective of Divine Servants Sarah Duncan and Alma Lighthouse.

## Main Arc

### An Act of War

Sarah and Alma are summoned as Divine Servants to the Heroic Sanctum by Ixion in a domain known as the Blessed Guard Palace, that watches over the entire sanctum. They are welcomed as temporary members of the Blessed Guard, that protects the Divine Servant system from any outside interference. Ixion's intuition to fill the last two remaining slots of the Guard proves itself valuable when Yeshua Maark appears, claiming his right to Irminsul of the Seven Pillars.

As giving up on Irminsul, the source of the Divine Servant system, would cause their entire erasure, Ixion and his companions refuse, causing Yeshua to challenge them in order to claim ownership of the ancient tree. Using his immense powers to summon Divine Servants on his own, Yeshua imbues them with a fragment of his power through Commandments, then sends them to attack the Palace, resulting in chaos quickly spreading as the Blessed Guard divides itself to defend strategic points.

### Against the Commandments

Sarah and Alma team up in order to face off against Bartholomew Maark and Alpha Maark but quickly realize that despite the Blessed Guard's higher power and natural advantages, they are overwhelmed by the Maark's Commandments. Evading Bartholomew and Alpha, they decide to target those whose Commandments imbalance the war to its highest point, facing off against Ondrea Maark who supported them from afar. Before they can fully neutralize her, however, they are stopped by Judas Maark.

Sarah, recognizing Judas as the betrayer Iscariot, offers him to defect to her side, but Judas's desire to redeem himself and genuine guilt causes him to call upon the most powerful assets he possesses, threatening Sarah and wounding them if not for Kisaki Nomizaki's intervention. Ultimately, Judas is defeated and falls to Sarah's anger, although she ultimately recognizes and respects the latter's motives, before moving on quickly.

The trio, afterwards helped by Donquixote Doflamingo and Kishin, keeps encountering Maark, being challenged by a vengeful Petrus Maark seeking to punish them for Judas's defeat, then later encountering Sheena Maark, a pacifistic healer with whom they briefly discuss. As they do, they learn from Cerestia Mirumoto that Soren Tuule, the Blessed Guard's Capricorn, has been killed in action. Sarah, suspicious of the Tuule in general, however doubts that.

### Ophiuchus Intervenes

Seeing his Commandments defeated one after another, Yeshua sends away his key weapon, the Ophiuchus Paul whose terrifying ability allows him to kill anything without discrimination or regard for higher narratives. Paul, however, is stopped by the immense strength of the thirteenth member of the Blessed Guard, the hidden and quite mad Anastacia Evershire. However, instead of turning against the other Maark, Anastacia instead begins to chase after Alma, then Sarah, causing even more chaos.

Anastacia is eventually stopped by Sarah and forced into returning to slumber. As Horakhty is blamed for releasing her, she denies it, making Sarah even more suspicious of Soren planning everything behind the scenes, much to others' incredulity. Alma and Sarah elect to rush towards the inner sanctum in order to protect it from further assaults, fighting against Sitra Ahra Maark and Sol and Lun Maark on their way to the throne, where they see Ixion trying to delay Yeshua.

### Cometh the Hour

Behind Ixion, Ibaraki Maark uses his Commandment and Pisces power to access Irminsul, successfully managing to do so and claims ownership of the tree, much as the Maark planned. However, he is quickly cut down by Soren, revealing himself to be alive and planning from the beginning to steal one of **Apples of Eden**, the mythical fruits of the Seven Pillars, to merge with his own body. Sarah and Alma bring themselves to fight against Soren, but are quickly interrupted by Yeshua.

The all-powerful messiah manages to dismiss Soren, even after the latter absorbs a fruit, and claims that he will end the battle, promptly releasing all his powers. Sarah is unable to survive and dissipates into energy, leaving Alma and Soren to face off against Yeshua. This is however an illusory battle, as the son of Adonai seems truly unbeatable when wielding his full power, and despite the pair's best efforts, they find themselves vastly underpowered against Yeshua's **Jaldabaoth**.

This turned out, however, to have been planned by Sarah, who used her own death to trigger her Advent and revive, returning alongside a special force of the Multiverse, including names such as Xiaopai Ming, Kyoko Kanamura, and even a full-power, Seraphic Lucifer who manage to take down Yeshua, returning him to his weakest form. A bit tired, Yeshua elects to retreat, although he claims he will always search for paradise. Soren, of course, is already far gone, taking the apple with him.
