The Empyreal Gem Master

He was still Alexander Asmodeus.

And yet he was also much more as he became someone else after years of memories. He was still himself, but a more experienced version of himself!

This was why even as a Clone went towards the lands of the Star Alliance, he knew that the area that could provide him the most growth was the place filled with Pandemonium.

In the Unexplored Void Lands!

BOOM!

At this moment.

Away from the Sacred Gold Mountain, where his main body was, his Enneagram Clone stopped above another bloodied Pandemonium Beast that fell with a dull cry as he obtained another Chaotic Covenant Star Remnant Core.

His chest drew it in as his Super Red Giant Covenant Star was reaching a fantastical level!

|One Chaotic Covenant Star Remnant Core has been absorbed.||

||Assessed the amount of time required for complete devouring of the Covenant Star to be 1 minute. By then, the Super Red Giant Covenant Star would be 21.8% of the way toward the formation of Neutron Star Nebulae centered around a Black Hole.||

He was almost a quarter of the way through to attaining a Neutron Star Nebulae that would be centered around a Black Hole!

This was the third Pandemonium Beast that he had killed as at this moment, he gained even more memories and a single Covenant of Nature that he didn't already have- Velocity!

With the pace then he was keeping, he was sure that within the next few minutes, he would take down more and more Pandemonium Beasts as very soon- his Super Red Giant Covenant Star would achieve a sufficient level.

It could already wipe out Nebulae Rulers even before all this growth, so how would it pair against Black Hole Rulers thereafter?

He didn't know.

But the more memories that continued to flood into his mind, the more that he came to feel that even with all of this power, he was still insignificant in the face of the vastness of the void of space.

All the memories of every single Pandemonium Beast that he killed only further showed him that the area they were born in was filled with entities of terrifying power as with every new beast killed, he saw other parts of the place they were born as if building a piece of a puzzle!

And this puzzle showed a large number of creatures with radiant stars on their chests, clusters of stars on their chests that radiated the power of Nebulaes, as well as Black Holes.

For others, it seemed to be even more than that as he could not say for sure.

But in the face of all of this, even with the terrifying power that Alexander currently showed… a single one of those Black Hole entities or a cluster of them could very well finish his journey and end everything right where it was.

"So let's get stronger before that happens, yeah?"

He spoke to himself with a smile before he moved in another direction where he knew more than two Pandemonium Beasts were from the memories of the last one he killed.

His pace of killing would only get faster as in response… the opening of the rift of Pandemonium would also be quicker!

Time passed.

Time was a truly subjective thing for many depending on their level of power.

A passage of a few days could be significant, for others, while the passage of years could be considered insignificant to some.

At this moment.

An unknown number of millions upon millions of miles away from the bounds of Ephesus.

There was a flower shining brilliantly in space.

The flower was a stellar bright red and blue as it held five petals and rotated grandly as it moved across space rapidly as if it were alive.

On this flower was a party of six entities whose chests held unfathomable glows of power.

Five of them had radiant Black Holes as around these Black Holes on their chests clusters of stars could be seen rotating smoothly.

On the chest of the sixth one- a woman that did not seem older than in her twenties… clusters of multiple Black Holes and stars rotated on her chest as her Gem Sockets had multiple lines and mechanisms with her gems burning with multicolored radiance. Her dark hair and gorgeous visage were the most visible on this flower moving across space apart from everyone else!

In the next moment, the head of the woman whose chest held clusters of Black Holes and stars tilted as she seemed to be receiving a message.

She sighed right after this before speaking to the other five on the flower.

"Haa… headquarters have received a feedback of another Rift of Pandemonium that may soon open. The Quasarian Ruler of Destiny has stated that likely our party would be the first reconnaissance that makes its way there. After we confirm just what level of Pandemonium Beasts will be coming out of this rift…more forces will be sent to this region of the Galaxy."

…!

The region of the Galaxy.

What was a Galaxy?

A Galaxy was a collection of stars, black holes, gas, dust, and the blankness of space that stretched out for an unknown number of light years.

Light years!

Inside an observable galaxy alone, there could be millions or billions of stars and Star Realms contained within it, along with an unknown number of Black Holes.

A sector of the void that held collections of a few thousand or even a few tens of thousands of stars could merely be a blimp akin to a grain of sand in the middle of a desert in comparison to the vastness of a Galaxy.

It was far too vast to comprehend for the eyes of many.

Some lived their whole lives from birth till death without knowing a single thing beyond the scope of the Star they lived in or the Star sector that they were in!

"Commodore Liana, a Rift of Pandemonium is a heavy affair…all our forces are already spread out other open Rifts of Pandemonium as how many more can our Empire afford to deploy? At a certain point, these Pandemonium Beasts will overwhelm us…"

Terrifying words were uttered as the leading woman radiating terrifying waves of power sighed once more while looking out towards the flicker of distant stars.

"We must do what we can to ensure that Pandemonium does not encroach on the stars under our Empire. Otherwise, all lifeforms will be transformed into mindless Pandemonium Beasts that will eventually make the whole galaxy into their home."
