1 Prolonged 1 | Starlight

In a unique dimension where time and space don't seem to exist, two beings, one as miniscule as a dust while the other as large as an entire universe are present.

"You really are one peculiar existence?"

Said by the universal size naked woman, her voice was like a melodious tone ringing on one's ears.

One could feel a sense of fulfillment just by merely hearing this voice of her.

She looked down at the tiny personage before her, a glimmer of excitement and hidden sadness flashing through her multicolor color cosmic eyes releasing a vibrant glow.

Her presence screamed of ancientness and regality.

Her outward appearance is that of a somewhat young yet truly matured woman, a perfect sync where one couldn't determine the truth about her age.

Her hair and eyes resemble the cosmos, as multicolor sparks of light can be seen glimmering within the radiance of her hair created the effect of a glistening waterfall that travelled down her slender shoulders.

Her skin is so white that it was almost transparent it gave off a soft and warm glow akin to the shine of the sun.

She possessed an unparalleled beauty terrifying enough to make any person who set their eyes upon her incapable of stopping themselves from fearing to approach her any further afraid they might dirty her due to their existence.

Her presence alone is enough to easily put the so-called gods and goddesses of beauty to shame.

Taking notice of a voice calling to him directly in his head, the other party present in this dimension, a young man in his early twenties looked up at the gigantic universal size beauty with his soulless eyes.

The young man is a breathtakingly handsome man, he has your typical northern duke aura on him.

The moment his gaze shifted to the humongous woman's eyes, she could see his eyes that were clearly dull, emotionless and seemingly as deep as an bottomless abyss.

He resembles ancient beings that had seen enough, a person that has experienced too much through vicissitudes life has to offer.

The young man is [Project End Nexus No.8820_former name: Kierby]

[*A/N* A lame name don't worry that will change later on]

He is an artificially made bio human weapon.

Once revered as a human hero by the masses but was betrayed by the very people he trusted and helped.

No.8820 aka Kierby just gazed back at her without any prior response whatsoever with his lackluster soulless eyes that had long given up living.

The woman couldn't help but let out a cute pouty expression childish and cute all of a sudden, before letting out a deep and heavy sigh containing uncountable emotions.

Her entire figure was then suddenly engulfed by a multitude of dazzling crystalline azure colored starlight and cloud-like essence similar to that of a nebula.

Suddenly her body shrinks in astonishing light speed to the size similar to that of the young man before her.

Finally leveling the young man's size, she suddenly pounced straight at him like a cat desiring attention.

She gave him a firm embrace slowly caressing his disheveled silver blue hair taking care of him acting motherly all of a sudden.

--- Damn boy you smell so nice!

She thought her lips were developing a mischievous smile.

The statues like young man receiving the sudden motherly affection, did not respond in the slightest of actions.

Time passed by from mere minutes it reached hours then a day to weeks until his dull abyss like lifeless golden eyes showed signs of changing out of nowhere shuddering.

Quickly noticing this miniscule but abrupt change after a month of waiting, the unparalleled beauty embracing him developed a gentle smile that contained relief.

Thereafter it didn't take long before the dullness within his eyes to slowly but surely vanished completely, followed by a multicolor shine on his sclera as tears began releasing a waterfall amount of tears.

Not surprised by the amount of tears escaping his eyes the unparallel beauty showed a vibrant smile as she looked straight at his eyes, this smile easily overshadowing the brilliant radiance a dazzling star has.

"Cry as much as you like."

She muttered embracing him tightly.

The waterfall like tears finally stopped, he looked up gazing straight at the unparallel beauty's dazzling multicolor eyes, a thankful smile replacing his previously nonchalant deadpan expression.

"U-u... a... h...."

He tried to speak, attempting a conversation but to his dismay for some reason no voice came out.

Seeing him trying hard to try and converse, she couldn't help but giggle an ever so gentle on her face as she began caressing his hair and head in a caring manner still treating him like a child.

The young man looked at her, an expression saying; I am not a child is expressed on his face.

Unfortunately for him in her point of view and in reality he is nothing but a child to her.

"It has been so long since the last time you have spoken a single word.

So, it's normal that after hundreds of years no voice would come out."

She said, she then raised her index finger that began shimmering in a multicolor rainbow glow, before pointing it directly straight to his throat.

Feeling that he could now speak freely he said the very first words that come into mind.

"I thank you from the bottom of my heart."

These first few simple words of thanks was enough to brighten up the unparallel beauty's mood.

He is still confused about the situation, his memories that have been suppressed for all these years are only starting to be unveiled.

"You don't need to thank me."

She replied with her smile widening every so short.

--- Damn he's too cute!

She thought, trying to mask her inner thoughts acting all gentle and motherly on the outside.

"U-Um by the way, may I bother you with a few questions?"

Now that his suppressed memories begin to be recovered, there were too many questions bugging him that urgently need some answers.

Seeing the serious look on his eyes she couldn't help but giggle cutely.

"Don't worry, you can ask anything. I am all yours, literally."

She replied giving him a mischievous wink.

For some reason he could feel cold sweat developing on his back but decided to ignore it as he heard her confirmation.

"Then pardon my rudeness. May I ask where am I and what's going on?"

He immediately asked the first thing that came into his mind.

Looking around the completely white space he couldn't help but feel an instinctive fear brewing within him.

The entire white space gave him the feeling of nothingness as if it existed but at the same time not, this feeling was enough to gave me the creeps.

He could also feel his body becoming one with this nothingness, as if at any point of time he'll become non-existing.

The thought of disappearing completely as a fate worse than dying made him desire to leave this place as fast as possible.

He couldn't fathom how such a thing was even possible, so he could only look for questions at the person that clearly brought him her.

"This place is called the realm of nothingness, some people called it as negative zero dimensional space, a realm where time, space, concepts, orders and every law in existence couldn't exist.

You can think of it as a black white paper."

"It sounded confusing didn't it because I am confused myself, I did not possess the exact knowledge about this place to begin with."

"You ask what's going on!

The answer is not relatively simple.

The universe you previously live in named [Starlight] is on the verge of complete annihilation.

And let me introduce myself.

I am Starlight the very universe you live in."

Not expecting such a ridiculous and unbelievable answer to his question Kierby couldn't help but gasped inwardly, masking his expression giving her a nod a momentary melancholic glimmer in his eyes that appeared and disappeared before the transcendental being before him could even notice.

Already expecting such a response from him not knowing that she had been fooled, the unparalleled beauty named Starlight, the very universe he is born from felt a small pain in the center of her chest.

She wasn't hurt by the fact that he ignored the fact that his home universe; herself is on the brink of annihilation.

She was hurt because of what the young man before her had been put through all his life.

She couldn't fathom who is fate is so cruel to people like him.

Before everything happened he was nothing but your common student attending college when out of nowhere drastic changes began occurring not just on Earth but throughout the whole universe that was supposed to be her body.

These sudden drastic changes everywhere brought both benefits and pain for every living being in every celestial bodies in the universe.

A malicious and corruptive energy that has the power to corrupt and transform the very concepts, laws, and order of the entire universe.

It was called [Primordial Ruination] a enigmatic higher tier essence overshadowing even the Tier 10 source energy of Starlight Universe, Source energy the very energy that builds the universe.

[Primordial Ruination] power was overwhelming and overpowering even with her infinite reserves of source energy, she can only stall for time pointlessly, unable to completely erase or seal off the corruptive malignant energy.

Because of the sudden anomaly brought by the changes of the [Primordial Ruination] wake, every single energy in the universe spirit soul just one of them had began to undergo mystical random qualitative changes.

Strange abnormalities and nonsensical developments began occurring all around the universe an example of these nonsensical changes are the common people unlocking special abilities and breaking through their destined limiters.

These drastic changes allowed them to reach realms of power that one could have never imagined before.

These changes that brought upon great opportunity resulted in great chaos to ensue everywhere resulting on devastating consequences as wars were waged here in their destroying or conquering other civilizations to strengthen themselves racing for the very top.

Earth, the planet where Kierby came from a small blue planet located in a barren galaxy is just one of the countless civilizations out there that have been put to test whether their species is destined to perish or prosper.

Ultimately, they did prosper due to the efforts of their most prominent figures but for what cost? 80% of the previous population of the planet was wiped clean and as if god is making fun of their sacrifices a powerful tyrannical race just happened to pass by their territory.

This race is so powerful that it only took a few individuals, for them to annihilate mankind and destroy their home planet (Earth) in less than a day.
