I.. Am God?

"N-No… Impossible.." The man shuddered in fright, "You can't possibly have dispersed my Void Smog!"

"Hmm?" Alexander narrowed his eyes in suspicion, "So that was what it is. I felt something strange when I struck that thing just now." He muttered.

"Still, even in all its greatness, it's still impure." Alexander smirked, "Your Void Smog, although filled with mysterious power, still has Yin Energy within it."

"No Yin Energy would survive against the Spear of Kelseus." Han Yue chuckled as she looked at the horrified man.

"What do you mean?" Denos asked.

"The Spear of Kelseus was made by Lord Father. He said it was made from the Salacemun Bead within Aqiartha that radiates Eternal Yang, a special metal that contains and controls wild energies, and was baptized by the Star of Freimun with Heavenly Power and his personal Heavenly Authority." Han Yue explained, "The weapon is basically designed especially to go against Yin creatures and other entities leaning on to the Evil Yin side."

"Bastard!" At this time, a huge dragon started to zoom past different planets towards them with great wrath. As it neared them, it gradually transformed into a humanoid figure.

"Xuan!" Denos exclaimed.

Bang!

The man, Xuan, as soon as he arrived in front of the languid man, immediately punched him in the face, sending the man flying at a very terrifying speed.

Xuan then immediately disappeared from his position and reappeared in front of the man's flight path and slammed his two fists down at the man.

The one-man assault repeated several times before Alexander finally intervened. "Uncle Xuan."

"Out of my way, Alexander. Even if you are Father's son, I will still not spare you if you stop me from killing this demon!" The unkempt, savage, and wrathful Xuan growled with burning eyes as it glared at the man.

"Don't overestimate yourself, Old Xuan." Alexander scoffed, but immediately returned to consoling, "This man would be punished accordingly, that is guaranteed. Him dying would be a punishment so light that the people he killed wouldn't even be satisfied."

Xuan was breathing in a rasped manner, containing himself from slaughtering and skinning the man alive.

"Macky, can you look for Father? Except for me, you would be the person that has a higher chance of escaping if ever the worst has happened. If Father's safe, ask him to come here and preside over this matter." Alexander turned to his sister and asked.

Mackenzie nodded before vanishingly from her position.

"Yin!" Xuan suddenly yelled, "Why?! Why did you do it!" Xuan questioned with a hoarse voice.

Yin did not answer.

"Speak!" Xuan pressed.

"Because they are weak."

"What?" Baffled, Xuan widened his eyes in shock, "What did you say? Weak?"

"Yes!" Yin shouted in reply, "They are just weak!"

"Why waste such valuable energy if they can't even use it properly?! Survival of the fittest" Yin cackled eerily, "Soon, this universe would be devoured by Nothingness. Nobody, even that bastard father of us, will ever be able to do anything about it! Then I might as well eat to my heart's content. Hahaha!"

"You..!" Xuan couldn't even begin to say anything due to his seething anger. To think that the reason why his siblings and kin were slaughtered mercilessly was because of such a shallow and nonsensical idea, Xuan felt blood rushing to his throat due to anger.

Xuan wanted to rush towards Yin once more, but fortunately, he was stopped immediately by Alexander. "Let Father handle this. This matter seems to not be that simple." He reminded him.

He thought to himself, "The news of the Eldritch has already spread centuries ago? This might be worse than I thought."

Alexander, knowing full well that this has already reached a level of greater importance, waved his hand at Yin, imprisoning him with Divine Prison.

After doing so, he turned around and faced the other deities, "You can return to working now." He said to them.

Nodding, the deities and other entities returned to developing the Diserian System.

Several minutes later, Mackenzie returned to the Diserian System, now together with their father.

"Greetings, Godfather."

"Greetings, Father."

"Greetings, Lord."

"Uh-huh." Matthias nodded at them. He then looked at Alexander who's currently in front of the Divine Prison and "walked" over.

"You know I can't leave Divine Heaven at this crucial time, Alexander. Why did you call me? You even risked your sister's life by sending her there, knowing full well that Heaven might still be under siege." Matthias asked in a solemn tone. It was obvious that he was extremely displeased with the Crowned Prince.

"I apologize, Father. But I think you might want to preside over this matter personally." Alexander bowed before going to the side.

"Yin has killed our siblings, Father! Please, avenge us!" Xuan pleaded indignantly, tears of blood trickling down his cheeks.

"Hmm?" Matthias narrowed his eyes and tilted his head slightly as he looked at Xuan before looking at the imprisoned Yin. "Where?"

Xuan was puzzled. "What do you mean 'where', Father? That's the bastard!" Xuan pointed at the miserable yet unforgivable man.

"That's not Yin." Matthias shook his head, which baffled everyone who heard them.

"What do you mean, Father?" Denos asked with puzzlement.

"I meant what I meant." Matthias replied as-a-matter-of-fact, "That 'nothing' is not Yin." He indicated.

He then explained furthermore, "Although this has Yin's aura, it's definitely not her."

"Then who is that?!" Xuan cried out, horrified.

"To be clear, it's 'what'." Matthias clarified before dispersing the Divine Prison with a flick of his hand.

"N-No.. N-No, don't come over..!" 'Yin' stammered with fear. Of course, Matthias did not listen.

He then filliped at 'Yin', aimed at its forehead. Shrieking, 'Yin' suddenly turned into a viscous black muck and floated to his hand.

"W-What is that?" Alexander gasped as he looked at the muck.

"Another case of Eldritch." Matthias sighed as he stored the muck somewhere.

"Eldritch?!" The Divine Siblings and Denos shuddered. As someone who had experienced the invasion of the Eldritch first-hand, the Divine Siblings went solemn as soon as their Father mentioned them.

"Father, you mean.. The Eldritch Terrors?!" Denos grimaced.

"You know about them?" With his eyebrows raised, Matthias looked at Denos with surprise. He waved his hand, sending him, his children, and Denos inside Bai Xia's café.

Denos didn't mind the change of location and even deemed it necessary, considering the sensitivity of the topic as he nodded. "Before I returned.." He then explained the encounters that he had after he acknowledged the Avatar of Time as his master.

".. throughout my stay with Master Kathcronus, I have seen a myriad of unimaginable things as we traveled through the myriad realms. We have erased threats to the existence of the universe, broke off relationships because of its destructive consequences, and killed millions just to save the life of one significant person.. just for the universe."

"For my master, such actions were like kicking sand at the beach; it was too easy." He then breathed in deeply before continuing, *But.. that thing.. It's not even a thing, yet it haunts me to my core."

"Don't keep us in suspense, Denos. What did you see?" Matthias was already drawn in the topic, listening intently to him as he leaned closer.

"A monster.. No. An abomination." Denos shivered as he recounted the event. "It was back when we visited the southern end of the universe."

"My Master stood in front of a Dark Galaxy, a galaxy that is infinitesimally devoid of life. An occurrence of such a galaxy is nearly impossible, considering the intrinsic quality of our universe to usher in different lifeforms even in the harshest of conditions. It was only of two reasons why there is an existence of such galaxies;"

"Either it was naturally created, which is nearly impossible.."

"Or some beings siphoned life out of that galaxy."

"It is easy to annihilate a galaxy, wiping it off from our universe's existence, but for something to just siphon life, especially from the stars, is simply impossible."

"Then, we saw it.." Fear could be discerned from his eyes as he spoke, "..a being of immense yet so little size. A being so powerful that it looks weak. Something that cannot be made out of our universe was before our very eyes."

Xelud Galaxy, The Dark Galaxy, years ago…

Denos, together with his master, stood in front of the darkest galaxy within the universe yet. A look of immense shock was plastered on his face as his body shuddered whilst feeling the eerily cold atmosphere emanating around the galaxy.

"We were late." Kathcronus sighed as he gazed at the lifeless bodies of stars in front.

"What happened here?" Denos exclaimed.

"Shush." Kathcronus suddenly placed his finger on his lips as he looked around. Focusing on one area, he growled.

"Nyaghoggua."

From the Void, thousands of tentacle-like gooey limbs emerged, piercing through their reality, not caring about the damage it causes to the fabrics that hold the universe together.

Soon, a deformed head came out, with its thousands of eyes looking at Kathcronus mockingly, "Khraaaaa~"
