Using the decadent horror’s body as a sacrifice as well as all the accumulated energy absorbed by the Brushwood Dicot used to seal it, a stable wormhole was formed in this space which connected it to another space somewhere in the universe. There were no doubts as to where the wormhole led. Without needing to think about it, arran knew that the wormhole led to Kasack’s domain, and through it, he would be able to freely send his minions over here to kill him... Only now did arran realize what Kasack’s master plan was. And indeed this was Kasack’s intention all along. When Kasack had sent the first decadent horror after Arran, the original intention was naturally to kill him. But after Arran and the others defeated the horror, sealing it, and forcing Kasack to descend with a trace of his consciousness, that intention quickly changed. Kasack still intended to kill Arran, no mistake about that. But after discovering the secret Earth held, his plans included taking over the planet
On Arran’s side, everybody watched as the colossal tree that was used to seal the decadent horror quickly broke down and was devoured into the wormhole that formed from within it. Their shock suffice to say was immense. Without any time to think at all, the group could only watch in silence as the wormhole expanded rapidly. “It’s over,” Arran exclaimed, his voice pulling the others out of their daze. Turning to arran, Beatrice quickly asked, “What do you mean by that? Do you know what’s happening?” Ignoring Beatrice’s question, arran mumbled almost incoherently. “That bastard truly got us good this time. We played right into his hands and now we’ve lost.” The words arran spoke made everybody frown. They couldn’t understand what he meant but looking at the way he reacted, it was clear that arran knew something they didn’t. Charmy without a modicum of gentleness grabbed arran and shook him while yelling into his ear. “Hey, snap out of it and explain what is happening. Th
Eris went off to contact the main fleet of the reinforcements while the others stayed together with arran. They didn’t make any moves at all, not even to consider measures to stop the wormhole from forming. None of them were fools… not to talk of stopping the wormhole from forming, they wouldn’t even be able to slow down the process at all. Wormholes like blackholes share some similarities. Both of them were bodies of mass existing in the universe. But while blackholes possessed physical mass, wormholes possessed illusory mass that mainly acted on the invisible boundaries of space-time which allowed two positions in space and time to be connected at a single instance. Like black holes, wormholes were very dangerous. These illusory bodies of mass could puncture a hole through the very fabric of space and time itself thus the boundaries surrounding a wormhole — especially unstable ones — were extremely prone to the existence of space-time storms which could rip matter to shreds and d
Something was happening over at the wormhole. A visible distortion surrounded its outer frame as ripples indented the space around it. Alerted, everybody drew closer together and observed the phenomenon. They wondered what was about to emerge from the other side of the wormhole but soon all their eyeballs bulged from their sockets as they looked on in shock at the behemoth that slowly crawled through the wormhole. That round surface, the thick dark rocky layer of its body, and the stretch of gaseous condensation that covered its entire mass like a thin film… That was… a planet! Emerging from the wormhole was a small dark planet about the size of the moon if only a little bigger. Its round frame slowly extended out of the wormhole mouth like a child’s crown escaping its mother's womb. By now, the mouth of the wormhole had grown to a proportion that was enough to accommodate the emerging planet. But this was not where the problem lay. As wormholes only possessed imaginary ma
On Earth, a whole other scene was taking place. Following the appearance of the dark star planet, innumerable disasters began to occur across the entire planet. Dark clouds gathered in the sky as raging winds blew storms of hail and lightning raining down on the earth. Abnormal weather conditions persisted as large tremors ruptured the ground spewing hot magma like blistering sores oozing vile pus. Glaciers cracked and fell into the ocean raising the sea level and sending waves of violent tsunamis washing across the continent. New landmasses that had formed on the Earth after the first apocalypse were torn asunder and sent plunging into the only depths of the Earth. Worse still, every living being on Earth, man or beast, mutant or muggle felt a sudden lightness on their bodies like a weight had been removed from their bodies. But with this lightness came an uncontrollable imbalance as they felt themselves slowly veering in what was the due east direction. All of these phenomena we
“Everybody, look alive. Something’s coming out.” Suddenly, Joyner’s voice rang out, drawing everyone’s attention to the dark star planet. The planet was still within the confines of the wormhole with barely a little part of it showing through it. Yet right then, countless figures could be seen flying out of the planet and heading towards Earth. It was an army of dark creatures and monsters and other sinister and evil beings. Like a pack of ravenous wolves, they projected immense bloodlust which gathered around the army in a hazy blood light. Taking the lead, Kasack, seated on a black throne-like carriage that’s pulled by two huge dog-like beasts rode ahead of the army like a general leading a charge. The two beasts pulling Kasack’s throne stood at an impressive height of 10 meters, their dust-brown bodies bulging with lean muscles packed with explosive power and rows of sharp jagged teeth stained black and red lined the front of their gaping maw. Their every step caused space to t
There was no warning, nor was there any exchange of words between Kasack and Arran. A fuse had simply been lit between the two of them sending sparks flying everywhere, lighting up a large firework of emotions. All of a sudden, a force like that of a primordial beast surged out of Kasack’s body. Darkness-like viscous ink bled out from Kasack. This darkness, like a mass of blood, was tangible, able to affect the physical world in ways that conformed not with the laws of physics. It surged into the surroundings aiming directly at the milky radiance emitted from Arran. Shreek! Both sides, one light, and one dark, clashed together causing a sharp cry to ring constantly across the entire space. Arrgh! At once, everybody, Aeth or monster and even the humans on Earth, covered their ears to block out the loud ringing that assaulted them. It was like they were being attacked by a large sonic wave cannon causing many who couldn’t react on time to be injured. It was better for the Ae
But should one bow down to defeat in the face of a loss? Should the inevitable always prevail without a chance for reprieve? Arran refused to believe that his destiny was to end here, and so he resisted fiercely. While Kasack laughed, Arran gritted his teeth, biting into his lips, and endured, outputting every ounce of power that he could from the bracers. Arran’s eyes turned bloodshot, and his lips bled. His body was under a lot of pressure from fighting Kasack’s aura. Normally, using the powers of the World Essence Pulse Bracers was usually free of burden. But to resist Kasack and protect his allies and the Earth, Arran had to draw upon the bracer’s powers far beyond what he could handle. Now, his body, unable to bear it any longer began to fall apart. Dark creases began to form on Arran’s body like cracks on his skin looking as if his blood vessels were about to burst from his body. He experienced pain the likes of which Arran hadn’t felt in a long time. Yet Arran endured, hi
