Edric's strength.

At the beginning of time, there were beings that existed in chaos, who were unaffected by physics and brought destruction to their surroundings.

They were much stronger than anything that exists in the present, but with time they slowly died out, until only the weakest among them remained.

They traveled among all the universes and spread chaos, but then new life was born and it wanted order instead of chaos.

A war massive happened, and the remaining chaos seeking beings died after being greatly outnumbered.

But they left a seed, a flame that would grow stronger and bring chaos to the world once more.

The order being tried to destroy the seed, but they were unable to do it with their strength and numbers.

As time passed, the order beings created new life and slowly disappeared somewhere while leaving a warning about the seed.

As more and more time passed, the seed moved to a lot of different places until it reached a small planet, where the remaining beings who knew about the dangers of the seed had all died or disappeared, so the seed finally started growing without restriction.

Until today, when it would be unleashed upon the world.

I punched the ground with a little bit of my true strength and destroyed all the ground while I jumped with my group.

I looked down and found a pulsating mass filled with essence, a lot of it.

//Analyzing objective//

This... Is quite shocking.

//Objective has overwhelming amount of essence//

//Objective has surpassed 1X Essence capacity//

I didn't expect there to be something as strong as this in this planet...

I might need to get serious.

I looked at Anas, Urosu and Tihoro and then I spoke honestly.

[You should go hide somewhere and protect yourselves, You don't even stand a chance against this thing]

I then looked at Anas while smiling.

[Don't get hurt, I will be back soon]

I then jumped into the crater in the ground.

It took me 11 seconds to fall all the way to the bottom of the hole, time in which I was able to modify my arms into whips filled with thorns and I also added wings to my body and hardened it to its limit while also keeping my flexibility and speed. I added an organ similar to lungs which could shoot deadly chemicals and essence, lastly, I started emitting high amounts of radiation and heat.

While I could definitely add more to my body, I would end up damaging way too much of the surroundings, or maybe even destroying this planet.

I then looked at the mass in front of me while I was getting ready to attack it.

I was willing to let it go as long as it didn't seem damaging towards us.

I tried to communicate with it using essence, but then it attempted to attack me.

I dodged easily, almost too easily. I looked at the mass in front of it and wondered whether it was evil or not.

I showed it my hand morphing, and then it seemed to had learned somehow and transformed into a humanoid with white skin, unnatural features, horns,membrane wings and a smile in its face.

It then let out a sound similar to a laugh and attacked me, I then realized that this being was an enemy.

I attacked with my arms that had a wip shape, And they moved directly towards the body of the being and wrapping around it, when they did. they caused a massive explosion that expanded the size of the crater.

The being was unharmed, having a dense essence barrier around its body.

It then attacked me with a essence filled beam that I deflected with my tough body.

I looked behind me and found that the beam had destroyed an area of around 50 kilometers.

I examined the situation and came to a conclusion.

If I keep fighting here this planet will be destroyed, I need to go somewhere else.

Hmmm... I think I know where to go.

I looked at the being again and got close to it in an instant, and grabbed it with strength.

I grew some extra arms and quickly hit the space in front of me.

A rupture in space ocurred and I trew the being to it.

I looked around me and then I jumped in as well.

******

Silence.

It was a place with nothing but eternal emptiness, where there couldn't be anything new.

There was no way to tell if time was passing or if this place even "existed".

It was Edric's universe, which he had left in search of something new.

The silence continued for what seemed like an eternity and an instant at the same time, until a change happened.

Cracks started to appear in this timeless place... And soon two humanoid beings came out of it.

Edric looked at the chaos seed and spoke.

[I don't need to hold back here]

He started growing until he was the size of an entire universe and then he spoke again.

[I doubt you can survive against me]

And for the first time, Edric attacked with all of his power.
