Chapter 558: Gluttony
The passage to the Alpha Universe triggered a chain reaction inside the Prima Universe, making more and more mind-blowing events come to be. It was like the Universe Will pushed its children to thrive beyond their limits, fight for what they dėsɨrėd, and have a chance of eternal glory.
The most meaningful of all was the rise of a new super-race, the Supernova Race. They rose to fame fifty years after the arrival of the entity known as Flame Imperator and made their grand entrance by reclaiming the world that was once theirs and erasing a Rank 9 Archangel from existence.
Of course, the death of an Eternal Detachment existence from the Heavenly Race infuriated the Archangel Primarch. Still, by the time she and the rest of her race's powerhouses reached Solaris, the Supernova Race had already fortified the entire world.
Dozens of Rank 9 Artifact and Runes covered Solaris and drew their energy from its origin to the point that they could unleash multiple attacks at once.
That, plus the pressure the Principal World could generate on enemies and the enhancement on their controller, made that even a Primarch would have to be extremely careful of fighting near it.
The Infinite Space-Timer Supernova Eye and the Eternal Death and Destruction Supernova Eye were extremely powerful fighters. Together, they could fight someone at the second stage of Rank 9.
If the Heavenly Race wanted to fight the duo while they enjoyed the help of Solaris, the Archangel Primarch would have to be ready to pay a harsh price, and the worst part is that she was unaware of the full power of the Supernova Race.
There was no way to guess what kind of trump card the Supernova Race would unleash if the Heavenly Race pushed them into a corner.
The other part was the rise of an even larger threat for her race, known as Apex. The Peak Rank 8 Fallen appeared a few years ago inside the Void Ring of the Prima-Eldritch Universe Final Battlefield.
Apex's might shocked everybody as he displayed Rank 9 battle power. While his strength was still slightly beneath that of Ivar the Flawless, no one could deny the man's monstrous talent.
There was a rumor that the Archangel Primarch had attempted to ambush Apex as this one moved from and out of the Prima-Eldritch Universe Final Battlefield.
Unfortunately for her, Apex was under the protection of the Dark Tower Alliance. Unlike their previous calm demeanor, the Magus Primarch, Titan Primarch, and Dragon Primarch had been extremely overbearing lately.
When the Archangel Primarch threatened them with war and reclused herself from helping against the Eldritch Universe, the trio made it clear they were not afraid of fighting her.
Those major events drew everybody's eyes, but the truth was that something much more meaningful for the destiny of the multiverse occurred in a place that no one paid attention to.
Inside a dimension resembling a gas vortex as giant as a Principal Plane lived billions of Void Creatures. Hundreds of thousands of battles occurred every day, either between the Void Creatures themselves or against individuals from other worlds to come to this place to hunt.
However, over the past few decades, all the alien life forms that visited this nebula stopped doing it, but that did not mean the fight diminished. On the contrary, more and more battles occurred every day.
All of a sudden, a whale-like Void Creature emerged from the nebula. This creature was larger than a moon, and its power surpassed the limits of Rank 6, but the only thing in its eyes was terror.
The whale-like Void Creature could not do anything before those branches penetrated its skin and extended all over its body. Immediately, its eyes lost their light, signaling its death.
What came next was what the whale-like Void Creature saw happening to other life forms inside the nebula and the reason for the terror that had invaded its soul.
A dark purple lightning-fire prime force extended from the branches and devoured the creature's body, energy, and soul until there was nothing left of it.
The prime force was so thorough that it took it less than five seconds to completely and utterly devour the Void Creature. It ended the creature's existence as it ate everything of it, leaving nothing for the Eternal River of the Afterlife.
Once it finished its job, the prime force returned into the metallic branches as this retracted.
More and more Void Creatures attempted to leave the nebula, but they all suffered the same fate, as it seemed that the branches could extend indefinitely.
After seven more years, the explosion and wails of agony inside the nebula finally ended. The reason for the silence was simple, every Void Creature inside it was gone, utterly devoured.
However, just as it seemed that the nebula reached peace, it began to tremble and shrank at an astonishing speed. An ocean of dark purple lightning-fire flooded it and began to devour every iota of energy and type of force in it.
Five more years passed like that until the nebula that once could compare with a Principal Plane in size was gone. Like before, the prime force returned to the metallic roots once it finished the job.
The alien life forms that saw this creature and were able to return to their homes alive gave it a name born of fear and awe.
Gluttony, the Voracious Sun.
