Speed Is King

Compared to Lucifer and Lilith, Elliot and the rest were extremely small.

If Planet Earth was a golf ball, the sun would be a school bus filled to the brim with golf balls.

And on that scale of comparison, if Earth was a golf ball, Lucifer would be Mount Everest.

It was a scale that blows the mind, considering that Magius took the form of a mere man.

On that scale of comparison, Magius was like the size of tiny mites on the golf ball compared to the entire Mount Everest!

He was so small that it was already a miracle of relatively epic proportions that he and his Staff of the Almighty could even deal so much damage to him.

The fact that merely five such Staffs could stop a desperately retreating Lucifer in his tracks spoke incredible volumes about the Staff’s unreal power.

However, the universe was a massive place, and the multiverse was infinitely larger than the already near infinitely large universe.

What was horrifically large in one multiverse could be just a small creep in another, just like how even though a man is an unimaginably huge giant compared to a flea, he is just a tiny speck of dust compared to a star.

And at that moment, Lucifer, for all his size and swagger as the biggest and baddest being across the realms, looked like a small ant compared to the massive eye that was peeking through a particularly huge spatial crack.

The apocalypse of the realms in Alexander and Aleyria’s multiverse… was a larger than large life form of some sort!

“Little life forms.” A strangely mild voice appeared in all of their minds. “Are you all fighting?”

At his voice, every single living being, including Lucifer, Lilith, and all of Aleyria’s and Magius’ clones, instantly stopped and stared at the eye which was heart-stoppingly massive at approximately the size of a star system’s entire orbit!

It was a moment of utter despair for them all, and a deeply disturbing awakening of their utter helplessness.

Clone portal? Wild energy devour? What use were they in the face of sheer size?

All at once, the massive battle that was occuring, the sneaky backstab by Lilith, the incredible miracle wrought by Elliot’s clone portal and the significantly more dangerous Lucifer who was actually devouring the essence of the Staff of the Almighty seemed to be petty squabbles of little kids.

They weren’t worth talking about when a big and importantly looking adult went over and started talking to them in a stern and dangerous manner.

“Why aren’t any of you answering? Are you all too small to talk? Or are you… ignoring me?”

SPLAT!!!!

Without any warning, the star system sized eye suddenly exploded into pieces!!

“Holy smokes!! What the hell?” Elliot shouted!

However, the pieces of the exploded eye started to move in concert as they all streamed into the realm.

It was the decisive moment.

Should they run away while the being was entering their realm?

Attack?

Or do nothing and wait to communicate with it?

The wisest choice, was, or course to communicate.

Running away was probably useless in the face of a higher life form.

Attacking was literally the dumbest thing to do. What if the life form wasn’t aggressive? It could very well be just a researcher or something.

But too bad the Wild Energy Lucifer did not receive the memo regarding “wise things to do when a giant eye is entering the realm”.

It took one look at the stream of eye particles entering the realm, and it instantly pointed at it and sent out enormous waves of red energy surging towards it!!

523

It happened so fast and so unstoppably that Elliot could only watch and wince as the red energy wave crashed onto the stream of eye particles!!

“Hmmm? What are you doing? Oh. What a vicious little fella. You’re actually trying to absorb my physical body. Haha!” The mild voice sounded in their minds with an extremely amused tone.

“Hey there. Don’t do that. It may be just a physical body, but its rude to absorb it without first asking me.” The voice continued to sound in their minds and gently released a strange power that pushed the red energy away as though it was merely putting aside a little toddler’s hand which was being irritating.

The Wild Energy Lucifer suddenly smiled sinisterly and in a blink of an eye, it completely absorbed the power of the hundred thousand beams of Sacred Light of the Almighty cast by Aleyria and her clones!

And to make it worse, it started to produce the strange power that was able to gently push aside its red energy earlier.

It had successfully absorbed and replicated the massive eye’s power!

“Whoa. Absorption and instant replication? On such an aggressive life form? No wonder you guys are fighting. So you are a bad guy, huh?” The voice still sounded extremely relaxed even though it was slightly surprised at the Wild Energy’s extremely impressive absorb and replicate feat.

“Well. I am not a good guy. But I also dislike bad guys. Are you the copies of the good guy? Here. Let me do your job for you and take care of the bad guy. In exchange, come on out and talk to me. I am bored!” The voice sounded.

At that moment, Alexander appeared before them and started to project a massive image of himself so that he could at least be visible.

“My name is Alexander. I lead the forces that are defending this realm against the devils Lucifer and Lilith.” His voice thundered loudly.

“Ah, you’re the leader of the good guys. You don’t have to raise your voice and increase your size like that. Just talk to me in your mind. I am not so primitive that I need to physically see and hear you to communicate with you.” The voice chuckled. “I have already identified your real body. Here. Take this as a first meeting gift from me.”

SPLAT!!!!!

Like the eye earlier, Lucifer and Lilith suddenly burst apart into particles and they started streaming towards Alexander!

“I don’t know if you have the ability to devour like that bad guy, so I’ll convert them into easily absorbed particles to strengthen your body and your strength.” The voice said.

“I, Alexander, thank you and your gift from the bottom of my heart.” Primal Alexander bowed deeply.

“Don’t worry too much about it. It’s just physical bodies. It means nothing to me. But if you want to pay me back, you can! In exchange, bring your friends to me and let us have a good chat! I am interested in the story of this place, and of the various special things you guys have! Who knows I might just find… heheheheheheh!” The voice said excitedly like a little girl finding a brand new potential gold mine!
