The Empyreal Gem Master

The memories were abundant.

The memories expanded everything he knew by an alarming degree.

This whole time, just days ago he was a nobody on an unknown Star.

He did not know much apart from 18 years of life inside a City where he was protected more than many others!

But since then.

The amount of memories he held…exceeded many others in this Alcyoneus Galaxy many times over!

“The Alcyoneus Galaxy…”

He uttered the name of the Galaxy they were all in as his eyes showed countless emotions.

With the most recent volleys of Starforged Arrows, the number of Lifeforms that had died under him…breached 1 Million.

“…”

1 million!

It was a heavy and terrifying number as it was made up of almost all Pandemonium Lifeforms!

There were many, many of them in their Seven Tribes as those he had killed were relatively small in number.

1 million lives. Some had lived hundreds of years, others were only alive for dozens, and others only a few.

But it meant the number of years worth of memories that he held far exceeded 1 million.

Every hour, he continued to change.

He was still Alexander Asmodeus, but he was also much, much more.

He was an entity that had now gained the overall view of this massive Galaxy he lived in an insignificant corner of.

In this Galaxy, there were an unknown number of millions upon millions of stars.

Stars that were either barren with no life, or stars like Ephesus filled with life.

Across these stars, there were some powerful lifeforms that rose up and formed Empires that looked over vast clusters of nearby stars.

There were also other life forms whose very lives were dependent on devouring the life force of other life forms and the stars they lived on!

Pandemonium Lifeforms.

It was unknown when they were introduced into this Alcyoneus Galaxy as they…were not natives of this place.

They latched on like a parasite and began proliferating many years ago, and they grew to the force of power they were now as they continued to expand their Rifts of Pandemonium onto new areas of this Galaxy and gradually spread their power all across it!

The Neidgard Empire was one of the five Empires in this Galaxy that stood against them.

But even with their defenses, the Pandemonium Lifeforms never stopped growing.

And now.

After an unknown number of years…there was Alexander.

A nobody from days ago, but undoubtedly a somebody of shocking proportion right now!

Somebody who would be capable of altering the very path that the Alcyoneus Galaxy was following until now.

Over 1 million lives taken meant over 1 million Remnant Cores, with his Core- his Origin that was superimposed with his Enneagram… currently showing the continued emergence of thousands of Black Holes and millions of Neutron Stars compared to the measly 100 Black Holes not too long ago.

Compared to the single Black Hole and clusters of a few Neutron Stars when he initially began taking down Black Hole Rulers!

This was the result after the recent round of decimation of multiple attacks on the Tribes of Pandemonium Lifeforms, and after he obtained even more memories of their Lands of Pandemonium, his pace of attacking increased as he expected to pass this number of 1 million, and double it in the next minute alone!

His Clusters of thousands of Black Holes and millions of Neutron Stars that were only increasing right now…he already believed them to be enough to take down a Quasarian Ruler.

And there were the perfect test subjects right in front of a particular opening Rift of Pandemonium!

In the depths of the Unexplored Void Lands of Pandemonium.

Commodore Liana and 5 others from the Neidgard Empire were frantic as the seething clouds of Pandemonium had already reached an irreversible point- all of them converging towards a single point as a massive rift in space tore open!

Commodore Liana had a drastic expression as their Quasarian Ruler was not here yet.

And she had seen Rifts of Pandemonium before as the moment any single one opened, hundreds of thousands of Pandemonium Beasts spilled out as among them, there were thousands at the stage of Black Hole alone!

To stay here was tantamount to death.

But why was this entity who shot out heavy glacial arrows staying right where he was?!

“Commodore, let’s go!”

Her followers called out to her as she hesitated.

She held her intuition.

And it told her there was something much more in store as she hesitantly looked towards Alexander and asked…

“Sir, are you not going to leave before the Rift of Pandemonium opens?”

He stayed right where he was calmly.

She couldn’t quite put a finger on it, but her intuition told her to stay!

Alexander looked at her and smiled while shaking his head, choosing not to reply.

“Commodore, let us GO!”

Another one of the Black Hole Rulers looked at her inexplicably as they could not fathom why they were even staying here right now.

It was to the point that as the rift began to open…

“Fuck this!”

Three of the Black Hole Rulers that always followed her turned into streaks of light that shot out into the distance, disappearing from this region entirely.

Commodore Liana and two others- her closest friends, remained as their eyes held resignation while they sighed.

And the Rift of Pandemonium roared open!

BOOM!

Like space being split apart, a roaring tearing sound boomed out as if an ancient beast was waking up, with Commodore Liana and others watching with trepidation as the Rift of Pandemonium was fully open.

And the waves of Beasts of Pandemonium.

The waves…?

Commodore Liana and the two others blinked.

The rift was open.

Calm, silent crimson black clouds of Pandemonium spilled out of it.

And yet…

“What the hell…?!”

Not a single Pandemonium Beast came out.

A rift was open, and yet there was no army!

This…they had never seen this before!

At this moment, Commodore Liana remembered the arrows that this unknown entity before them had continued to throw.

Surely…

Surely he did not erase every single Pandemonium Beasts on the other side, right?!
