A Small Change In Time Is A Butterfly Effect?

A week ago,

Not far from Planet Sarkon, A fleet of Stealth Ships not belonging to Rathiel Republic Military or Civilian Forces were guarding a massive stealth cargo ship, shaped like a Gigantic Void Whale, except it was 2-3 times larger than standard cargo ships present in the Lower Galaxy Rings!

It was the Monolithic Goliath, a Ghost Cargo ship enough to give every System in Lower Rings a Nightmare! It had a Terrifying Defense, A state of the Art Stealth System From a powerful Alien Federation in The Middle Rings of the Milky Way Galaxy and innumerable Combat and Auxiliary Modules for weapons and Upgrades alike.

It most powerful aspect was its huge Capacity to carry resources to supply a 100 flagship level ships for 3-4 weeks, Plus its Engines were tweaked to give it more Speed than any Standard cargo ship known in the Lower Rings. It was a veritable war asset and the dream of any general across the Lower Rings.

However if anyone saw this scene now they would definitely be surprised as Rathiel Republic was a lower tier Star Country in the Ho-Jax Star Sector, It did not even have the necessary connections or the resources to procure such a ship, so why would a ship like this be here, especially with its stealth systems ON?

The Star System called Deion-Tempest where Planet Sarkon was in, was just a Low mid Grade Star System, it did have 8 planets - 6 rocky and 2-gaseous , out of which only Sarkon and Mendevor were eligible for human settlement-

The other 4 had a thinner atmosphere ,Toxic environments and various extraterrestrial Hazards. At best the Republic was able to create few outpost stations and some mining activities to mine whatever they could, those planets were not very rich in rare metals or Higher Dimension metals.

But this Stealth fleet was traversing towards one of the uncolonized star systems. The Fleet soon reached Planet Visordin - a dull yellow planet that once had a beautiful Atmosphere capable of supporting life as evidenced by the dry salt piles lying across the planet.

It lost its whole Biosphere, due to the collision of a Hydrogen-Sulphur rich Asteroid, 20,000 thousand years back. The scale of devastation it caused, Decimated whatever life it had in minutes and huge holes and caverns were formed all around the planet as a result of the catastrophic collision.

Now only Extremely Toxic Dust Storms and Acid Rains would ravage the land, with Acid lakes forming all around. Sometimes a Volcano might Randomly erupt and Earthquakes were very common, causing any planet maps created to be outdated every 6 months.

It was a deathly unstable planet with few military outposts of the Rathiel Republic located around. The Fleet then sent a signal to one of the outposts keeping watch, Then within a few minutes all the outposts shifted their watch range to different directions and all probes and sensors were shut off temporarily, creating a blindspot for the Fleet to enter the planet undetected.

The Fleet then entered the dull yellow Atmosphere of Planet Visordin, and traversed through slowly undetected and after an hour they stopped at the entrance of a massive Cavern- capable of housing nearly a Capital Class Ship which could match the size of a 1000 Cargo Ships put together at the minimum.

The Monolithic Goliath stopped at a manmade port dock created for it and started the docking procedures. After Completing this procedure, Its massive hangar doors opened - Revealing several large containers giving off an ominous aura that made people feel very uncomfortable.

The Landing Hatch of the Goliath Ship opened, revealing a blood covered muscular man with ink black eyes- eating a freshly ripped out heart like an apple, with the blood oozing from his claw like fingers and sharp fanged mouth.

He looked on lazily as the Escort Ships soon docked as well. Their Landing hatch opened revealing lifeless pale figures with grey eyes and ink colored fang mark imprinted on their glabella- who soon gathered around the blood covered man like slaves without any hint of emotion. They seemed to be obediently wait for the man to give them an order.

*Whizz! *Whizz! *Whizz!

Several Huge Combat Class Ships Entered the cavern from another side and respectively docked into the manmade gloomy port, Soon Various Figures came out of them and began to gather around the Monolithic Goliath. One thing could be said to be common among them- They had a Malefic aura that radiated the very essence of Evil and Slaughter.

But they were not rowdy or about to start any chaotic battles. They were simply here to wait for that "Man". That "Man" Had gathered them across countless systems after they were rejected by their Star Countries either for their in birth physique or for not being able to resist the power that the Evil Alignment gave them- Effectively making them scum of societies Everywhere!

But that "Man" found them and took them in - Not out of kindness but for their Potential in the Evil Alignment! "He" was more brutal than any Demon and more twisted than any Devil! Anyone that decided to rebel was died a horrific death and the cries of their souls could still be heard around that "Man".

Anyone that was weak and unable to perform "His" Tasks would be cooked alive and given to the others to Eat!

-"You cannot use your strength properly" His haunting Voice would reverberate in their ears.

"So you are WEAK, Now you only have one Purpose! Be the Food for the STRONG!!!"

Of Course Those who hesitated to eat this "Food" would be killed immediately and made as a side Dish.

It was simple...The Strongest Preyed on The Weak! Only The Strongest Survived! And They Grew with such cruel training to become the most Terrifying Characters of The Ho-Jax Sector.

For the Past 10 years that man brought them from system to system across the Ho-Jax Sector where they would go to remote dead planets of Various Star Countries to build certain Obelisk like structures made out of a strange dark purplish crimson metal and infuse their Evil Essence into it.

The Essence was a strange Meta-Physical Substance, It was directly generated by the soul in the Astral Plane based on a being's actions or Karma and it would continuously accumulate within that person as long as they continued doing what they did.

It was more like a Bi-Product of One's actions that would unconsciously affect a person's behavior, mind pond, Energy and Physique. It was as the saying meant -"Deeds maketh man" only a bit more literally here.

This only became visible when one started cultivating on the path of Mythic Power as it would generate a specific Aura around The warriors .

This would allow them to use more strength from those higher dimensions! Each higher dimension had unequalled ability, that could only be countered by their opposing dimensions.

For Example, the Endless Heavens bestowed a basic ability of the Holy Flame Wrath to its warriors, regular mortal runes or spells were unable to compete with it on equal terms! But the Boundless Abyss bestowed its warriors Profane Blood Rage, which was able to compete with Holy Flame Wrath on the same level.

It was as if both were destined to be enemies Since The Birth of the Two dimensions and completely countered each other. The only victor in such a fight would be the one whose soul resonates more with their alignment and has the higher comprehension of their Mythic Path.

For these people who came to Planet Visordin with such a Dark Baleful aura , it was undoubtable that they belonged to the one of the 3 Great Evil Alignments!(Lawful Evil, Neutral Evil and Chaotic Evil)

They had undoubtably committed several Evil acts to gain so much Evil Essence to accumulate This Level of Dark Aura !

They would then fill this Evil Essence into the Strange Obelisk Structure Until the all runes engraved on its surface gave a strange Glowing Reddish Dark Purple Color. The runes were definitely of a language that did not belong to the Material World.

Once all the runes lit up, a miniature vortex would form on top of the obelisk structure and emit a blood filled light on their bodies. The light would contain demonic secret arts and profane knowledge which wormed into their minds while the crimson light also enhanced their physical bodies to great extent, giving them slight fiendish essence to absorb into their blood.

If they absorbed enough they could awaken a low level mythic demonic bloodline. Even if it was low level, it was already better than most mortal enhanced bloodlines. They could even dream of evolving towards becoming a lesser mythic being as long as they fully evolved the lesser bloodline!

All they had to do for this was to keep following that "Man's" orders no matter the risks! Be it commit massacres, poison food supplies, bomb Medic Transports, even do the most animalistic things to others - they would do it.

To finish the constructions of the obelisk structures , they had to first infiltrate those Star Countries with the Identities given by the "Man", they would then come to a deal with the one of the ruling forces to operate on those planets in exchange for 'Forbidden Services'- Services Outlawed by the 9 Prime Human Powers like cloning, talent extraction, Mind curses, You name it they would execute it.

It was now their final construction site, with this they could get a 20% chance of awakening a lesser demonic bloodline. Even if they did not manage to, they could upgrade to stage 4 and stage 5 of the Foundation Phase, even stage 6 if they were lucky.

However even if they bribed some Officials and Ruling families of the Rathiel Republic, They could not immediately transport the Last Stone Obelisk! It had the most powerful Evil aura even without essence infusion. They needed a Ghost Cargo Ship that outclassed all Stealth tracking and Aura Detecting Systems and Users in Rathiel Republic.

The "Man" did however found a quick solution, a recently out phased Monolithic Goliath was being brought to the Jaxos Empire (Star Country) - One of the 2 great Hegemonic Star Countries of the Ho-Jax Star sector. "He" sent Bludfries - the infamous cannibalistic Sin Runelord to "Borrow" it. Bludfries infiltrated the exchange and snuck onto the ship after absorbing an escort soldier and mimicking the soldier's appearance and DNA to pass unnoticed through the ship security.

He proceeded to brutally massacre most of the crew once the ship departed the exchange point and turned most of the Supervising crew into blood slaves to take full control of the ship. He then changed course of the ship to a secure location between Pirate Territory and Sector Territory to retrieve and store the Package within the Cargo Ship's Extra Dimensional Hangar which would hide its aura from prying eyes.

Bludfries smirked lazily at the gathering with a victorious glint in his eyes. He was sure to get some more benefits from the "Man" for his deeds. The Jaxos Empire was probably frantically searching for this precious ship while he removed every bug and tracking device installed and made sure to change the codec registration for the ship so no automated systems or Ship A.I would send any call for help.

He then took out a console panel and entered an encrypted password to the Special hangar and released the containers carefully. The other members soon gathered around to build the massive Obelisk structure at the designated spot in the desolate port. Even Bludfries dared not to hesitate here and joined in to assemble it lest that "Man" caught any of them slacking off.

With their higher strength abilities they were able to assemble the entire Ominous Obelisk structure within 4 days and started to infuse all their evil essence into it for the next 2 days.

This structure was clearly more powerful than any other obelisk they built, it consumed far more essence than the others and kept giving off a dark twisted aura with a Goat like Rune slowly forming around it. They spent the entire night infusing the obelisk with all the evil essence they could muster.

Current Day, 20 minutes before GLNAC Transponder/Beacon Activation on Planet Sarkon

Just as they finally lit up all the runes, A Man in black suit suddenly appeared behind them, scaring all of them like sheep seeing the wolf. The Man in the black suit was 7 foot tall with pale skin and abyss like eyes that could turn a mortal mad if they gazed too long. He had 2 stumps on his emotionless face.

He merely gazed at the nearly completed obelisk and looked at cowering minions, who lost all intimidating attributes as soon as this person came. They only meekly gazed at him like pigs waiting to be butchered. The man then looked at Bludfries who immediately kneeled down facing his gaze with a timid expression.

The man simply took out a Black shard from his coat and simply walked up to Bludfries who did not dare to move from his spot. He opened his mouth and a voice that could send chills down a daemon spirit could be heard,

"Not Bad, For Your Effort I will make You a more efficient tool"

As he said this the Man then stabbed Bludfries with the Black shard multiple times, But Bludfries did not let out a whimper or a sound as he took the oncoming stabs while gritting his teeth from the excruciating pain. Each Place the Man stabbed with black shard - started to have black vines sprout out as it completely covered Bludfries from head to toe like a cocoon.

The Man stopped and simply grabbed towards the weakest member of the group nearby. He then ripped her head off casually not noticing the horror and fear on her face as he soaked the cocoon with fresh blood. The cocoon absorbed the blood like crazy as it began to bulge. The Man then tossed the dead body of the female Evil warrior onto the cocoon as it rapidly devoured with bone crunching and squishy sound.

The Cocoon started trembling fiercely and was ripped open with a low roar coming from it. *Snip *Snap! A hulking hand came out, with a large Dark Crimson muscular body - Bludfries came out completely changed. He now had protruding horns coming from his forehead, his ink black eyes had become even more darker with a hint of madness and his physique seemed to have become even more bigger and muscular than before with dark scales.

He then kneeled down before the "Man" as if awaiting his next order. The Man then looked at the Obelisk and then spat out a potent evil essence at the Obelisk . The whole structure lit up like crazy. The Man simply nodded in a satisfied manner as he looked at the mega Vortex forming around the obelisk.

With a flick of his hand all the remaining people including Bludfries, were gathered around the Obelisk and the crimson light reappeared to transform them. The Man simply gazed at the transformation process as he muttered,

"Now only a few years is needed to completely connect all Obelisks with this one and Then this Sector shall become the new Stronghold of the Abyss- Soon All these worlds will burn with boundless rage of the Abyss"

An inhuman smile formed as he heard screams coming from the crowd within the Crimson light. However at this moment a loud Bright green golden pulse was felt across the entire mid grade star system. The Man's smile froze and was immediately replaced with a frigid expression as he screamed,

" DAMN YOU NIRVANA BASTARDS! DAMN YOU SENKAR FAMILY!"

There was no mistake, someone from the Golden Lotus Nirvana Corps Association had called for a massive back up, He was sure that the people he had bribed had snitched him to the Golden Lotus Nirvana Corps Association Spy! Now with that fleet there was no way the obelisk would remain hidden, The Advanced ships would pick it up as soon as they got in the Star System.

The Man then took a deep breath in and his eyes became frenzied, He calmly looked at Outside while saying,

"So be it! You broke your terms of the contract - Senkar Family! You should pay for it as well! AS THE PRICE TO BE PAID! THE ABYSS WILL CLAIM THE RATHIEL REPUBLIC AS ITS NEW FRONTIER BASE IN THE LOWER RINGS! LET THE RIFT BEGIN!!"

He then turned towards the Vortex with his arms drawn and ripped his left arm off with Black Blood spewing out of the wound. He then threw it into the vortex and started chanting what looked like a spell of the forbidden demon tongue.

His creepy voice became even more high pitched and the broken hand within the Vortex began to sizzle and turned into a hot lava like substance which began to assimilate into the Vortex itself.

Then an ancient symbol of a Demonic Goat formed again, but this time it seemed to make the vortex even more larger, unstable and stronger till it burst with a massive Blast which ripped right through the mountain canyon hiding them.

After the blast subsided , a black shield had appeared right before it happened and seemed to be covering the entire Hangar and its occupants within the Blast Range. Where The Blast occurred lay a terrifying Lava edged Rift formed above the unharmed Obelisk structure.

It began to spew an immense amount of Power outwards which had begun to form a Mythic Energy Domain across the Deion-Tempest Star System completely covering it. If a ship did not possess Mythic Weapons or Technology, This Star System would become a Powerful Stronghold which could not be pierced by regular weapons.

Mythic Domains meant that the very energy of the Higher Dimensions begins to alter the Mortal World by mixing some of its essence into the World laws present in that area. It was a very powerful overlap and could be powered and controlled further by the strongest presence on the rift. One needed to kill that presence to destroy the loop.

Then a translucent Projection of a Demonic Goat-Headed Human appeared out. His name would frighten even most pious men and his very visage could induce madness into the eyes of the People who even dared to gaze at him.

The Man Smirked and Said,

"Now the Real Fun Begins! Let the Slaughtering Rage On!"

As soon as he said that countless lesser demons began to arrive from the Rift looking very Bloodthirsty at Planet Sarkon and Planet Mendevor .

Now the Nightmare Begins...
