SkyeOfStarsStepping from the Nexus, a rift that connected all realities and made converge universes into a single all encompassing multiverse, Arkaeis answered the unspoken challenge that had been laid before him. His body drifting in the void of space, Arkaeis looked down to the planet known as Angar-Rylla. Though it dwarfed his vessel in size, it was nothing more than a solid object in a solid plane. He was far more than this, but he had no reason to gloat of it.
Casting the concept of size aside, the avatar began to drift down into the planet's atmosphere, though drift was hardly the term as he moved at top speed. Yet, to him, the world moved much more slowly, allowing him to react faster than almost any other. Soon, as he hit peak velocity, his weight increased monumentally by his own will and the properties of the void, Arkaeis suddenly slowed, for he was nearing the surface of the planet. However, its surface was hardly earthen, rather it was covered in light and the sheen of various mechanical objects. Unfazed by this, Arkaeis touched down in the center of a city, but he did not glance around to get his barrings. There was no need for that, he had already scanned the entirety of the sprawling metropolis. It took him only a few moments to do so, and his descent to Rylla's surface was plenty of time for that and far more. In fact, he had been able to accurately identify every single individual within the city so as to land in a location that had as few possibly violent individuals as possible.
As such his arrival, while it did not go unnoticed, would initially go without disturbance. "Have no fear, children of creation," the conduit said in the native tongue of the Ryllans, he had already learned it through his Transcribed perception and vast mental capacity. It was easy for him to accomplish something as simple as this, "...you may not recognize my form, but the one I serve is pervasive throughout the entirety of existence. I know you have seen it before. Let me remind you," some of the Ryllans backed away from him, seeming off-put by the strange aura that pervaded the area since his arrival. A soft smile formed on his features before a gentle wave of gaseous void formed in his hand as he raised it in front of himself.
As he did so, he noted that several of these individuals, and the city itself, had alerted the authorities to an unauthorized presence. He chuckled, for as he raised the sphere they were nearly there. "This is aging, death, destruction, to which I am sure your race and its empire are quite familiar. You have spread it throughout the multiverse, and because of it you have drawn my attention. Your existence offsets the balance, but it is not the fault of the citizenry. So fear not, I mean your ilk no harm, it is the higher echelons of your society to whom I must speak," with these words uttered the gaseous sphere of void rose from his palm, into the air, and continued to do so till it suddenly shot thirty feet above him, drawing the crowd's attention, as Arkaeis vanished from their sight completely.
Now standing atop one of the skyscrapers of the bustling metropolis, the conduit looked down upon the square he had been in where the authorities had arrived, cleared the crowd, and began to isolate the small pocket of void that he had released. Smiling slightly, he watched with interest as the energetic barriers they utilized began to degrade with continued exposure to the gaseous sphere. Its polarity was neutral, but he had altered the way it exhibited this property slightly, he had allowed it to expand instead of intensify its density. The sphere was growing and the more they tried to contain it, the larger it seemed to become, devouring, and degrading, everything that it came into contact with. Eventually they managed to utilize some form of stasis field in tangent with a layered barrier, which slowed its progress considerably. At this point, Arkaeis took control, allowing its expansion to cease and reverse entirely. It regained its density, returning to its former size. The officers looked at it with astounded expressions, they had plainly never come into contact with something of this nature. He was sure that they were familiar with magic, but this was something entirely in its own realm...literally.
Thinking to draw the attention of the military, Arkaeis began to materialize gaseous spheres of voidal energy all around the metropolis, and remove their ability to retain figurative mass within themselves. He increased their expansion rate and kept track of their overall status mentally and perceptually.
Chaos began to ensue in the city and the planet became a beacon.
Someone had decided to draw the attention of one of the most dangerous and powerful military forces in the multiverse, and he had no intention of backing down, no matter the opposition. Even better was the very fact that Arkaeis expended no energy other than that which was required to manifest the small spheres. Their expansion was simply a product of the void's inherent qualities, not his manipulations. Thus, his energy would be once more at its peak if anyone chose to oppose him. As such, he nullified his presence, pulling the entirety of its form inside of him and deciding to exude only the concept of nothingness itself, for while he could not use it to destroy in the purest sense, he could use it to destroy any form of his own presence. As such, his very lifeforce would vanish from perception completely, as if he did not exist at all.
There, in this state, his pitch black orbs ever vigilant, Arkaeis would wait for the adversaries that were sure to come. He was curious to see who thought themselves strong enough to stand against him.
It would be an interesting experiment, he thought. Interesting indeed.
