Unfathomable

20 years.

Boros gazed over the boundless space filled with bright, beautiful stars, giving a mystery yet indescribable feeling to anyone who saw them. Yet, for him, who had spent his 20 years on this journey, he felt nothing.

In the past 20 years of the journey, what he sought was defeat.

This wish might be stupid, and many might think of him as absurd, but for him, who was known as the strongest in his galaxy, this wish of his was precious.

He wished to have an exciting battle where he could feel his barren heart filled with flood-like excitement.

He wished for a battle where his blood was burning in the heat that was comparable to the star.

That was his only wish, for him, who was known as the strongest.

Yet, such a wish was a luxury for him, who was known as the strongest, so he could only live a dull day like the king of his galaxy.

However, one day, an alien seer told him his prediction.

"On a faraway planet known as Earth, you might be able to find an opponent that can give you a hearty and intoxicating battle."

Knowing that, Boros didn't hesitate and set out his fleet toward the faraway planet known as the Earth.

Naturally, this journey wasn't easy since his galaxy was rather far from Earth, and he was also unfamiliar with this planet, so his subordinates mistook some planets as Earth and destroyed them by mistake.

Tehe~!

If Boros was a cute character, he might say something like that. Unfortunately, he wasn't. His character was callous, almost cold, since he was interested in nothing but fighting someone powerful.

In other words, he was a battle maniac.

As for his subordinates, they didn't care much, or rather they were more than happy to follow him. After all, 20 years were nothing to them, and the happiness that came from conquering and trampling those who were weaker than them was sweeter than any honey.

Unlike Boros, who wished to fight the strongest, his subordinates weren't the strongest, so bullying the weak was their hobby.

Still, they also knew what was the wish of their boss and knew that he wished to enter the Earth.

Then, in these 20 years' worth of journey, suddenly, someone exclaimed.

"We have entered a new galaxy!"

"What are you being surprised for?"

"Isn't it normal for us to enter one or two galaxies?"

It wasn't their first time entering new galaxies, so none of them showed much change in their expression.

"No, that's not it!" One of the aliens exclaimed, quickly calming himself as he looked at his comrades. "Earth! Earth is here! Earth is in this galaxy! Tell Boros-sama!"

Hearing those words, everyone was excited, but before they told Boros, they quickly tried to get all the information they could from the Earth.

As for how they could get that information, let's say that it is the power of the plot.

However, when they got the information on Earth, they couldn't help but frown.

Still, the others had already told Boros that they had come to the Solar System, and the Earth was in front of their eyes.

"Oh? We're about to arrive soon?"

Boros grinned as his body exuded an intense aura that could destroy a country or two. His three generals, the trusted people who were the strongest under him, also stayed by his side, waiting for their subordinates to give them the report about the Earth.

After they waited for a while, the aliens that were in charge of information quickly entered the hall inside the spaceship, where Boros resided with a respectful attitude before they bowed their heads.

"Boros-sama!"

On the biggest throne, Boros sat there with three generals standing by his side with a solemn attitude since they knew they were about to face another battle.

"Get up."

"Thank you."

Then all the information-gatherer aliens stood up before the leader of this group stepped up.

"Boros-sama, we have gathered all their information about Earth."

"Oh-ho? Tell me."

Yet, the expressions of the group were rather weird and awkward.

"What's wrong? Is our opponent strong?"

Boros was excited when he saw their expressions.

"What are you scared for?"

"We have countless, so many battles."

"Don't act like a child."

The three generals also thought so, and because of this, they were dissatisfied with the hesitation of the informants. They believed that this group of aliens was scared and didn't dare to fight the battle on Earth.

"No, no! We-We're not afraid, but..."

"But..."

"Our opponents are too weak!"

Yes, too weak.

Those informants who got the information about the Earth were dumbfounded and couldn't even believe it since the creatures that resided on Earth were too weak!

For all of them in this spaceship, who had been living on their planet, they had naturally become strong since their planet had a harsh climate. Moreover, because of this, their regenerative power was stronger than anyone. It was also the reason why they could face various fierce battles in various galaxies without even a single scar. They didn't fear any battle since they believed it was impossible for them to die.

So, when they thought about Boros's purpose, planet Earth, they were also ready for a battle, yet when they found out the information about this planet, they were dumbfounded since all the creatures that were living on that planet were too weak!

"...too weak?"

Not only Boros but the rest of the generals were surprised.

"Yes."

The leader of the information-gatherer aliens nodded. "Most of the creatures that live on that planet are carbon-based creatures known as humans. There are also other creatures, but all of them are weak. Too weak even for us to treat them as an opponent."

"....."

Boros took a deep breath before he closed his eyes.

Was he going to spend another boring day?

Was this journey pointless?

He couldn't help but doubt his decision to come to this planet.

Everyone closed their mouths and didn't dare to say a single word since Boros emitted a gloomy aura.

Then, after a while, Boros said, "Let's go to Earth and destroy it since it is worthless."

"Yes!"

No one dared to question him, and all of them exuded his order with all of their might.

Still, Boros was disappointed, and because he was disappointed, he was going to destroy Earth.

However, suddenly...

[Danger! Danger! Danger!]

"Huh? What's happening?"

Everyone was confused since an alarm suddenly sounded and caused everyone to feel startled since it was their first time to meet something like this.

However, soon, they got their answer.

In front of the monitor, they saw a figure standing in front of their spaceship.

While this figure might not be as huge as their spaceship, this figure was still massive when it was compared to their sizes.

It was hard to tell what it was, but for one thing, they had never seen such a beautiful creature before.

Standing with four legs, with the most beautiful white fur they have ever seen.

The white color gave a sacred and divine aura, making all of them unable to say a single noise.

Yet, Boros stood up from his throne as he watched this creature in happiness.

"So, this is it!"

This was the opponent that he had sought after!

Yet, this creature had never thought of him as an opponent.

It opened its mouth then a hell-like scene happened.

Everyone was filled with horror, and no one could stop it.

"Boros-sama!"

"Help us!"

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

The creature opened its mouth and devoured a spaceship along with all the beings inside without leaving anything behind.

Then, the alien group known as Dark Matter Thieves, led by Boros, quietly disappeared.
