Note: I just reread all my chapters and I have to admit... It took very long to finish. I was really surprised because scrolling through it seemed endless. Now, I understand a bit why people like long story chapters (Initially I thought it didn't matter much).
Just a reminder that at the end of each chapter, I will conclude with the number of templates that Lux possesses. I will also add their photos to clarify their appearances (although you can search for them on Google), but that will take time. You can also help by adding photos.

Some Time Before...
Wosh!
Several silhouettes moved at high speed. Two men and two women led by a boy wearing a mask made of ice.
It was none other than Lux and his template characters.
Magical Beast Rank Unknown. Although Lux had never seen how powerful a Rank Unknown was, he had at least heard some things about it.
"It takes dozens of Rank SSS Hunters to kill it, and most of them would die in the process," mumbled Lux, recalling information he had once heard.
What was the concept of Hunter Rank SSS?
At least for Lux, he would die when facing them because most Rank SSS Hunters had speed beyond common sense.
The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception might be powerful, but that didn't matter if the opponent attacked him first.
Fighting against Rank SSS alone had a high chance of death, let alone Rank Unknown...
To face a creature he had never encountered before, Lux of course brought his templates with him.
Fortunately, whether it was Artemisia, Dabi, or Tomioka Giyū, they completed their tasks well.
The Rank S Hunters who had previously tried to kill Lux had already been 'cleaned up' by them.
'Still, I think fighting against Rank Unknown is still excessive for all of them,' thought Lux with obvious concern.
Itsuka Kotori might be able to provide assistance, but Artemisia and Dabi, who couldn't even fight against Rank SS Hunters, would likely not contribute much.
On the other hand, Tomioka Giyū might have been upgraded to ✯✯✯✯ (four stars) and reached the realm of Rank S+, but that was still far from meeting the criteria. Not only that, Tomioka Giyū's enhancement wasn't permanent.
Of course... Lux himself fell into the category of not being ready.
'I should summon Raiden and Mayuri-'
"???"
While Lux was busy thinking, he suddenly felt a familiar aura, causing the boy to stop moving. The templates accompanying him also halted their steps.
Although confused, there were several templates who noticed the presence of a figure in front of Lux. However, unlike Lux, they felt that the figure might be an enemy.
"I'll handle it," said Itsuka Kotori indifferently, with the large spear Camael already prepared in her hand. But Lux raised his hand, indicating she should stop.
The red-haired girl raised an eyebrow but obeyed without objection.
As for Lux, he began to approach the figure that felt... familiar.
The figure looked miserable - its entire body was wrecked as if dying and could expire at any moment. Her shiny black hair now looked dull, and both eyes were closed.
"You look terrible, Chief," greeted Lux in a flat tone.
"Fufufu..." The woman's gentle and captivating voice could be heard. One of her eyes opened, and the woman said, "I guess your condition isn't much different from mine."
"Maybe," Lux replied indifferently. "...But you look far worse."
"Hm~ Are you worried about me? That makes me happy, Lux. Come here, I'll give you a hug of affection~"
"Don't approach her, dirty woman." At this point, a large spear with extreme heat was aimed at Queenie.
Itsuka Kotori's gaze was very cold; it could even be felt that the girl intended to cut Queenie if the woman dared to touch a strand of Lux's hair.
"Ah, scary~" Queenie sighed dramatically. "Don't you feel sorry seeing my terrible condition?"
Despite saying so, Queenie wasn't afraid at all. On the contrary, she smiled and continued to tease Itsuka Kotori.
In response, Itsuka Kotori gave her an increasingly intense glare.
Lux, who had been observing from the beginning, decided to get straight to the point. "Do you know anything about this situation?"
"If you want to extract information from me, you'd better stop because there's nothing I can give you," Queenie answered with a mysterious smile. "Oh, don't misunderstand, it's not that I don't want to talk, but the fact is I really don't have any useful information for you. Besides, I'm sure... Compared to me, you definitely know a lot more?"
A look so strange and without doubt as if she really believed that this famous Frost Assassin knew more than she did.
No wonder because Queenie had absolute faith in Lux. As for the reason behind this trust... No one knew.
Because of that...
"Leave this island if you still want to live." With a final tone, Lux turned around. Together with his templates, their figures immediately blinked and disappeared with incredible speed.
Queenie just chuckled seeing this. She wasn't angry with Lux's cold attitude. She just said softly, her gaze looking far away. "I hope... You come back safely."
***
"Is it here?"
Detecting abnormally dense [mana] accompanied by a frightening aura, Lux slightly furrowed his brow.
Even for someone who had gone through various battles, Lux found it difficult to breathe normally. The pressure in this area was so heavy that it felt like thousands of needles piercing his lungs. If it was like this, the power he currently possessed was not enough.
'Should I use that template?'
Thinking about his two unused templates, Lux sank into consideration. Although Raiden Ei/Shogun and Takamiya Mayuri had extraordinary power, he felt... Both might not be enough to face what was waiting for them.
Both templates would also use all their power, meaning it wouldn't be easy to continue the fight if the opponent turned out to be stronger than imagined...
While still immersed in his thoughts, suddenly the sound of soft footsteps entered Lux's hearing.
"..."
Everything felt quiet and suffocating.
Lux didn't experience any change in emotion. He just stared at the familiar figure standing not far from him.
A robed figure with the emblem of the moon and cross. Because he was looking down, his face wasn't clearly visible, but the aura he emitted made Lux feel disturbed to the bone marrow.
And most importantly...
"Guild Moon Order Chief, Kira," said Lux, identifying the figure.
The very famous Hunter Rank SSS, somehow present in this place with such a... suspicious atmosphere.
Was Guild Moon Order also involved in this situation? Lux didn't think so. Besides... If Kira was really their enemy, then he should be present with his guild members.
But at this time... Besides Kira, the presence of his guild members couldn't be sensed by him at all.
There were two possibilities...
First, his guild members were busy fighting other monsters. Second... They were all dead.
But both possibilities were equally odd, considering that from what Lux had heard, Kira wasn't the type of leader who would leave his guild members. He would rather die with them than leave them.
Of course, that information could be wrong, but...
The question was, was that information wrong when he felt a strong killing intent from the Hunter Rank SSS in front of him?
Without any warning, a cross spear appeared in Kira's right hand and was immediately directed at Lux!
BAAAANGG!!
Being suddenly attacked by a Hunter Rank SSS, most Hunters, even Rank SS, wouldn't be able to survive. But unfortunately... Kira's opponent this time wasn't an ordinary person, because...
BOOOOMMM...!!
A tornado of incredibly hot fire roared, fiercely burning the entire area within a radius of tens of meters!
Holding a large spear with a cold expression, Itsuka Kotori's figure was filled with a hot aura that soared to extreme levels. The air around her vibrated due to the intensity of the heat produced.
But the title of Rank SSS also couldn't be taken lightly...
Kira's form reappeared through the mist of fire. Judging from his condition, he didn't seem to have received significant injuries or even... no injuries at all.
Opening the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, Lux found that Kira's death lines, which were once as thin as threads, had now changed to become dense, resembling thick and complex spider webs.
That wasn't a good sign. Something had changed the essence of Kira.
Despite all that...
KRING!
A blue slash darted with incredible speed toward Kira. The perpetrator was, of course, Artemisia, who tried to behead the man with an elegant sword swing.
It might seem ridiculous when a Rank S tried to fight a Rank SSS, but Artemisia herself was only acting as a distraction...
Of course, the power of a Hunter Rank SSS was so terrifying that Artemisia, who had already exerted her full power, couldn't withstand it!
BOOOOOOOMMM...!!
To counter one of Kira's attacks, many Territories were created by Artemisia, but all those defenses were immediately shattered like glass hit by a sledgehammer!
[Ding! Detected massive damage to the template! Forcibly deactivating template!]
[Damage to Artemisia Bell Ashcroft (✯✯✯) : 99% - Life hanging by a thread. Time to recover Template Artemisia Bell Ashcroft (✯✯✯) : '04 Month, 10 Days, 23 Hours, 01 Minutes'. Consumption 41,000,000 Achievement Points for instant recovery]
Artemisia's figure turned into a purple card and returned to Lux's body in an instant!
But on the other hand, Kira had no intention of stopping his attack!
Glowing thrusts bombarded the entire place. The impact appeared in the form of terrifying waves that damaged the structure of the air itself.
Even Dabi didn't have time to give resistance because everything happened too fast to be caught by his eyes!
[Ding! Detected massive damage to the template! Forcibly deactivating template!]
[Damage to Todoroki Touya / Dabi (✯✯✯) : 99% - Life hanging by a thread. Time to recover Template Todoroki Touya / Dabi (✯✯✯) : '04 Month, 10 Days, 23 Hours, 01 Minutes'. Consumption 40,000,000 Achievement Points for instant recovery]
Feeling his other template turn into a card before being able to provide assistance, Lux realized that Rank SSS was far beyond the reach of his current power.
However...
KRING!
A sharp slash like glittering water immediately halted Kira's movement for a moment. Tomioka Giyū, with a serious expression and blood flowing from his forehead, advanced, blue tattoos slowly appearing on his cheeks, indicating a gradual increase in his power!
For a moment, there were many clashes between Tomioka's Nichirin katana and Kira's cross spear, creating sparks and shock waves that destroyed everything around them!
Anyone witnessing this scene would certainly be amazed. Seen from any angle, it was truly impressive that a Rank S+ could stand on par with a Hunter Rank SSS!
However, this situation wasn't entirely surprising. Besides having been upgraded to a ✯✯✯✯ template, Tomioka Giyū was indeed very skilled in close combat.
While Artemisia and Dabi were only templates with ✯✯✯ (three stars) and had no specialization in close combat.
Compared to both of them... Tomioka Giyū had a significant advantage.
However, no matter how skilled Tomioka Giyū was and how great his enhancement was, he was still in the realm of Rank S+. His limitations were still clearly visible in this battle...
To casual observers, they might seem evenly matched, but upon closer inspection, it was actually Tomioka Giyū who was being heavily pressured by Kira.
Wounds and blood began to appear all over Tomioka Giyū's body. Even with his famous water breathing technique, there was still a wide gap between their power levels.
Then finally... There was a trace of cracks on Tomioka Giyū's Nichirin blade and...
PYAR! BOOOOMM...!!
The katana belonging to the Water Hashira shattered into pieces, and a slash from Kira immediately eliminated Tomioka Giyū's figure in one direct attack!
[Ding! Severe damage to Template Tomioka Giyū (✯✯✯✯) : 100% - Already dead]
[Ding! Due to the deactivation of template Tomioka Giyū, the template upgrade time for Tomioka Giyū has also ended]
[Time to recover Template Tomioka Giyū (✯✯✯) : '05 Month, 30 Days, 2 Hours, 20 Minutes'. Consumption 70,000,000 Achievement Points for instant recovery]
Swinging his spear with elegant movements that contrasted with his brutality, Kira then stared at Lux with an emotionless gaze. His look seemed to imply 'Only you remain'...
Indeed, with Lux's current power, his chance of winning against a Rank SSS was very low, but... Hadn't Kira forgotten something?
"<
The weapon that was previously in the form of a giant spear in Itsuka Kotori's hand now transformed into a cannon with concentrated heat energy at its muzzle.
Feeling the threat of imminent death, Kira wanted to escape, but it was too late because a burst of fire with extreme temperature had already been fired!!
KAAAABOOOOOMM....!!
All of Itsuka Kotori's reiryoku energy released in this single attack melted everything within her field of vision.
Lux, who had covered his body with ice armor from the Divine Ice Emperor, could only squint his eyes in the face of the incredible heat intensity. Truthfully, if not for the adaptive ability of the Divine Ice Emperor, he would have been burned by this fire rage.
After all... The temperature produced by the Spirit was no joke. Even from a considerable distance, Lux could still feel the heat capable of burning skin.
With an attack at such a terrifying degree level, Lux was no longer too worried about Kira surviving. Even if the man was still alive, his life would certainly be at the brink of death...
Now... All that was obstructing had been eliminated. But at the same time... Most of his templates could no longer be used.
This raid... Was the raid with the greatest loss he had ever conducted...
Four templates entered cooldown while three others had already been used to their maximum limit.
Even Lux began to consider using the 'special template' to end all of this...
And...
"Stop hiding anymore..." Lux's voice sounded cold, colder than he had ever shown. "Since that death line disappeared, I knew you were watching us."
Analyzing Kira's abnormal behavior and emotions, Lux could confirm that Kira wasn't an enemy with ordinary motives such as greed or personal vendetta.
So the only reason Kira attacked him was... He was being controlled.
As for who was controlling Kira... Wasn't it already clear?
From some point, a vague silhouette of terror appeared before them. Its form was difficult to describe because... When the creature appeared, the entire space and air became distorted as if unable to contain its existence...
But its appearance could still be briefly described.
At a glance, it looked human-like, but clearly it wasn't human. A slimy body with two legs. Writhing tentacles emerged from behind its body. Purple, black, and red colors entwined throughout its form, reminding anyone of the most horrific nightmares.
Its existence was... Chaos itself...
Yes... As soon as Lux looked at it, his head felt as if it were being pierced by thousands of poisonous and stinging needles simultaneously.
"Kuh?!"
Lux's body collapsed helplessly. The creature was clearly just standing still in front of him, but just by looking at it, Lux's head felt like it would explode!
Not only that, the adaptive effect of Divine Ice Emperor really couldn't keep up with the aura of this creature's presence!
Was this... Was this... Magical Beast Rank Unknown... True Cthulhu?
"[𝓗𝓾𝓶𝓪𝓷]?"
Along with that one spoken word, Lux's sanity seemed to want to disappear, and obsession with madness began to fill every corner of his mind.
At the same time, the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception found that the death line of the creature... Was literally very faint and difficult to see, as if this creature existed on the threshold of the dimension of death itself.
'Danger... If it's like this...'
"AaaaAhhhhHhh!!"
A girl's scream broke the silence. No need to guess who the owner of the scream was. None other than Itsuka Kotori, whose mind was beginning to be distorted by the presence of the creature...
Lux with the Divine Ice Emperor adaptation was already unable to withstand its mental influence, let alone Itsuka Kotori who was a berserker type Spirit?
[Ding! Ding! Emergency warning! Itsuka Kotori is beginning to lose control!]
[DING! DING! DING! ALERT! Itsuka Kotori has entered 'INVERSE FORM'!]
[DING! Forcibly canceling template Itsuka Kotori (✯✯✯✯✯)]
But the system was a bit late because there was a spark of black fire explosion that leveled the entire area within sight.
BOOOOOOMMMM...!!!
The black fire raged, uncontrolled. The impression it gave filled the soul of anyone who saw it with primordial fear. Even the creature, 'True Cthulhu', seemed quite surprised by the strength of this dark fire blaze...
Unfortunately, it didn't have time to think about it for too long because as Itsuka Kotori was beginning to enter her forbidden form and about to rampage, the figure had already disappeared, vanishing from the air as if it had never appeared.
However, almost simultaneously, another figure appeared that immediately attacked True Cthulhu with an insane intensity of attacks.
The sky turned dark with weather filled with purple lightning that flashed repeatedly. Then formed a giant slash wrapped in electro energy with destructive power never before witnessed.
The frightening energy emission made anyone who felt it become numb. That's when a cold and angry voice was heard!
"<
Like divine punishment descended from the sky, the anger of the Electro Archon tried to destroy the terror creature that had slaughtered hundreds of millions of living beings.
Faced with sword skill capable of cleaving space and time, there was no doubt that anyone would die instantly, but this time... Her opponent was different from what the Archon had ever faced.
True Cthulhu took a stance to punch, then chaos energy gathered in its fist. As if that wasn't enough, countless tentacles tried to merge with the fist. The result was... Pressure that surpassed the element attack of the Electro Archon...
—Then the punch was released.
JEDAAAARRR....!!! KAAAAABOOOOOMMM....!!
The collision of the two powers created a shock wave that swept away everything around it. Even Lux was no exception...
Proving how powerful the attack was, True Cthulhu's fist was annihilated when faced with the terrifying sword skill of the lightning goddess... But–
[Ding! Detected massive damage to the template!]
[Damage to Raiden Ei / Shogun (✯✯✯✯✯) : 100% - DEAD. Time to recover Raiden Ei / Shogun (✯✯✯✯✯) : '01 Years, 05 Month, 30 Days, 10 Hours, 01 Minutes'. Consumption 100,000,000 Achievement Points for instant recovery]
"Hah... Hah... Pff... Really..."
Seeing that even one of his ✯✯✯✯✯ Character Templates had died, Lux realized... That he had truly underestimated what was called Rank Unknown...
Imagining that True Cthulhu was even capable of killing Raiden Ei/Shogun in one attack—though the Electro Archon hadn't unleashed all her power—Lux finally understood the terror brought by Rank Unknown.
'So, is this the only option left?'
If even Raiden Ei/Shogun couldn't face it, then Takamiya Mayuri probably wouldn't be able to either...
Tak...
The sound of footsteps was heard. Feeling the chaotic aura trying to suppress his consciousness and drive him insane, Lux's breath became heavier.
Lux tried to rise, but quickly realized that the lower part of his body had been destroyed. He didn't feel pain because of the Divine Ice Emperor that had adapted, but despite that, the pain in his head didn't decrease at all...
At that moment, Lux again saw the figure that was the manifestation of the aura of chaos itself.
Heh... Chaos, huh? Then Lux had found a worthy opponent for it...
Despite suffering greatly, Lux forced his mind to search for one of his templates.
Although only a template with ✯✯✯✯✯, but... Its quality almost reached the level of ✯✯✯✯✯✯...
So without further hesitation...
"For a moment, I hoped." With a weak tone, the light in Lux's right eye began to dim. "... I hope I can sleep soundly without thinking about anything."
Lux's words seemed to make True Cthulhu tilt its head, confused, but it didn't have time to think about the meaning of those words because Lux had already closed his eyes...
"... Come, I will rest for a while."
[Ding! Install Character Template ✯✯✯✯✯ : Kiana Kaslana - Herrscher of the Void!]
[Ding! Start matching...]
... And what happened after that, Lux couldn't remember anymore.
***
"[𝓗𝓾𝓶𝓪𝓷]?"
The disgusting tentacled creature tilted its head, staring at the white-haired human boy lying on the ground.
There was curiosity toward him, but that was only fleeting because the ending for everyone who challenged it was basically the same, which was death.
Even that purple-haired woman, although she had killed a Giant Rank SSS empowered by it, was still no match for it.
Yes... In the end, all humans were weak creatures that it killed easily.
But it couldn't be avoided that there was still a curiosity that tickled its mind. For example, why did some of the people it killed immediately disappear without a trace?...
True Cthulhu might not be able to think as intelligently as humans, but there was still some basic knowledge possessed by Transcendent creatures like it...
So, it was interested... There was no [mana] fluctuation and it wasn't a type of teleportation ability—there were similarities, but clearly different.
So how did they suddenly disappear just like that?
Moreover, their power system or concept of abilities seemed different from the 'laws' of this world...
For the first time in its long existence, a great curiosity arose in its heart...
And to satisfy its curiosity, it began to approach the unconscious human boy in front of it.
It didn't know whether the human knew anything, but its instinct said that the human had a connection with those strangers...
So, it would read his memories. As a Transcendent being, that wasn't a difficult thing... Of course, this memory reading ability only applied to those who were far weaker than it.
If the opponent was Hunter Rank SS or above, this ability wouldn't be very useful.
It regenerated its tentacle that was destroyed by the purple-haired woman's sword skill earlier, extending its tentacle to forcefully read by damaging the human's memory...
But—
Slash!
The tentacle approaching the human was suddenly cut off, making True Cthulhu tilt its head again.
It didn't see the attack coming and it also didn't sense the presence of any other creature except the human in front of it...
That's when True Cthulhu's primitive instinct seemed to give it a strong warning...
"[????]"
BOOOOMMM!!!
A powerful explosion suddenly knocked True Cthulhu's body from close range.
Of course, that didn't have a significant impact on it. Although it was a bit surprised, there was something else that immediately became the center of its attention...
When hit by the explosion earlier, it felt a foreign energy that it had never felt before.
This energy was different from the familiar [mana], also different from Raiden Ei's Electro energy, and nor was it Takamiya Mayuri's Reiryoku...
This energy... Was something dangerous. Far more dangerous than its own power.
Something evil, dark, corrupt, and... Broken.
And that energy was now trying to 'damage' and 'devour' it.
With its power, of course True Cthulhu could eliminate that energy, but then it found this energy becoming increasingly aggressive and continuously developing like a living organism inside the human body...
That's when its instinct more strongly warned it.
It stared.
The figure of the weak human boy in front of it who was previously unconscious was now gone.
Instead, another figure had taken his place.
A girl.
Waist-length white hair gleamed softly under the dim light. Her eyes were hidden behind her soft bangs. She wore an elegant black jacket with white and pink accents, complemented by long black and pink gloves on her left hand.
She just stood there without making any movement, yet her aura filled the air with indescribable pressure.
Tilting its head, True Cthulhu tried its power on her...
"[𝓗𝓾𝓶𝓪𝓷]?"
It thought, with its power as part of 'chaos' would make the girl in front of it go insane like the others.
No matter who it was, as long as they heard True Cthulhu's voice, they would become insane instantly. Even Hunter Rank SS couldn't escape this power. But unfortunately... This time it met an opponent who was far different.
A figure that was equal to or even surpassed it in terms of 'madness'...
"𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧? 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞?"
That emotionless sentence was heard, but contained traces of deep contempt and disgust. Inadvertently, True Cthulhu looked directly into her pupils...
A pair of orange-gold eyes with glowing cross-shaped pupils.
"... 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐞."
That's when True Cthulhu seemed to feel its body being pushed by an invisible force.
No, literally, it was really thrown with incredible power far from where it stood!!
"[???!!!]"
True Cthulhu was stunned then tried to eliminate the pressure that was pushing it powerfully!
BOOOOOMMM...!!!
A wave of pure chaos energy exploded out from the girl's body, sweeping away everything around and creating a dome of purplish-gold energy that protected her body.
The girl's eyes opened slowly, revealing golden irises that glowed with the symbol of emptiness in the form of a floating cross in her pupil.
Her lips curved into a cold smile never before seen on her face—a cruel smile that radiated absolute arrogance.
"𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲..." her voice whispered coldly, echoing with a dual tone that pierced to the bone marrow of anyone who heard it.
Her body began to float slowly, lifted by energy that swirled like a golden-purple tornado.
Her white hair turned into gleaming silver like moonlight, wildly fluttering despite no wind blowing.
Black gloves on her right hand, elegant white wings appeared on her back, black shorts with pink accents, gleaming black thigh-high boots.
Her appearance had now completely transformed...
A chaotic and arrogant aura radiated from her, making her appear like a beautiful and elegant queen, but her cold expressionless gaze made anyone who saw her shudder in horror.
True Cthulhu stepped back, its primitive instinct clearly recognizing the far greater threat now present before it.
She extended her hand which was now covered in a dark energy glove with complex patterns that shimmered with purple.
"𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫. 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐞𝐧."
Chaotic and frightening energy exploded from her body, radiating in all directions like a cosmic shock wave. The ground cracked and shattered beneath her feet, and the sky darkened further with frightening energy that thickened more, coloring the horizon with beautiful yet deadly golden-purple streaks.
This phenomenon even caused the clean air to appear polluted by that energy, creating reality distortions around them. In an instant, various chaotic parameter anomalies occurred everywhere—the laws of physics began to falter in the presence of The Manifestation of Destruction.
Click!
With one elegant flick of her finger, suddenly dark portals—tens, hundreds, to thousands—appeared with very bright golden light splitting the sky. From inside these portals emerged white creatures of various sizes that emitted chaotic and corrupt energy. All these creatures roared and stared at True Cthulhu fiercely, awaiting orders from their queen.
"𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠. 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝..." She smiled coldly on her beautiful face, her golden eyes flashing with promises of destruction, "𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐞."
