HH - Third Attempt

Chapter 1 - One

 The space was vast and seemed to have no end, the environment was painted in dark and gray colors. In some places there were some clouds of red, purple, yellow and even white gases coloring the environment, the smaller ones appeared and dispersed quickly and were devoured again by the darkness while the larger ones fought against the darkness itself for their space.

 Occasionally it was possible to see some claws, tentacles or eyes peering silently in the darkness. It seemed that this place was not completely uninhabited and some beings with indescribable appearances called this place home.

 This place was known as 'The Chaos'. It is the border between the order of creation, where all other realities meet, the outer part of the infinite omniverse, the border of the worlds, it is the beginning and end of creation.

[I found it, Sir!]

 And in the great space of chaos, a point of white light shone unassumingly as if it were a firefly wandering in the darkest night. From the point of light a voice was heard, it was a robotic and emotionless voice.

'Which way?' Another voice was heard, this one was more 'human' and emotional. The voice was deep and showed a little tiredness.

[It's just past that mass of red gas to our right, sir]

'Well, let's head in that direction before the beasts find us.' The point of light then dimmed its brightness and headed in the pointed direction while hiding in the darkness to avoid attracting attention.

The ball of light that once glowed like a firefly went out like a flickering flame in a storm, but it did not disappear completely, it only shrank to an almost imperceptible size.

The small point of light began to travel in the dark space while avoiding as much as possible the tentacles, claws and eyes that lurked nearby, in time it came close to the huge mass of red gas.

As he got close to the mass of red gas he could see that it was decreasing in some places and increasing in others, as if he was in a tug of war with the darkness around him. The point of light had already seen this countless times, so it simply ignored it and walked around the mass of gas.

Getting around the mass of gas would take longer than simply going through it, but the point of light already knew what awaited him inside any of these masses of floating gases, so he preferred to take the long way to his own.security.

If the darkness was already dangerous with these countless beasts and the darkness itself trying to devour everything in its path, the masses of gases were worse, because to survive in 'Chaos' they developed their own defense mechanism.

They need to expend a lot of energy to simply survive here, so they have created their own way of 'acquiring' energy to survive here. Inside them it is like an endless storm that destroys everything that enters and transforms them into pure energy to try to expand or simply survive in this dimension.

And they manage to acquire this energy, through an event that happens in their center, or also known as the nucleus. Its core is a mass of unprecedented pressure that tears apart the space of 'Chaos' and connects it to another dimension with 'Order', there they absorb some energy and bring it here.

But of course this is not without a price, just as 'Order' injects its energy through these gases into 'Chaos'. 'Chaos' also injects its energy into 'Order' to balance the scales. Thus they create a singularity that connects countless dimensions and realities maintaining the entire Omniverseworking.

And the small point of light was simply an unlucky person who had the misfortune to 'fall' into this dimension in one of these 'exchanges' of energies.

Of course, the point of light was not the first to find itself in this situation. Most, if not all, went mad and perished after spending a few years in this dimension. But for some reason this little point of light is different from all the others that have fallen into this dimension.

Fortunately for the point of light, he managed to adapt and survive in this place.

And over time he continued to learn about his new home, the more he learned about his new dimension the more he wanted to find a way out of such a place. It took a long time, longer than the poor point of light could count, but he managed to find a way out of this dimension.

[We have arrived Sir!]

After a long time trying to reach the other side of the mass of red gas, the small point of light finally found its destination. Looking in front of him he could see that the huge mass of red gas had a hole leading to its core.

The hole in the red mass of gas looked like an ant's path, full of curves and irregularities, going up and down. But it was still possible to see that the path led to its core. It was also possible to see the mass of red gas trying with all its strength to cover the crack that had formed.

'There really is a crack here.' The point of light let out a slightly tired and somewhat disbelieving smile.

'Come on Nexus, let's go all in.' The point of light decided to move forward as quickly as possible.

[Wait, sir! It would be more prudent to study the path a little more to avoid accidents]

'Nexus nonsense, the sooner we get out of here, the better. We will deal with any unforeseen events that come later, the important thing now is to get out of here.' The point of light dismissed Nexus's advice and began moving towards the path opened in the mass of red gas.

The ball of light lit up like a lamp in the dark and caught the attention of some creatures around it. But without caring, the ball of light sped towards the path in the mass of gas.

Some beings who saw the commotion decided to take advantage of the opportunity, it was possible to see a huge deformed black tentacle full of eyes moving towards the ball of light.

[Sir. We caught the attention of some chaos beasts!]

'Ignore them, they will retreat once we enter the mass of gas.' The ball of light stared at the tentacle for a moment and then sneered before continuing to accelerate towards the path.

Fortunately, the ball of light managed to enter the opening of the mass of gas. Upon entering it he felt as if he had entered an underwater tunnel made of glass, where it was possible to see everything outside, but instead of water and fish, he saw an endless crimson storm trying its best to destroy the tunnel.

The huge tentacle approached and hesitated for a moment as it saw the ball of light enter the opening of the mass of gas.

'I knew this thing would retreat.' The ball of light looked at the hesitating huge black tentacle and commented.

As if it could hear what the ball of light said and felt provoked, the tentacle advanced through the opening in the mass of gas. he tried to insert himself into the tunnel, but his tentacle was too thick to fit through the opening.

But he continued to insist and ended up breaking part of the opening and managing to enter the tunnel, but this also ended up connecting the opening directly with the mass of red gas that took advantage of the presence of the tentacle and devoured it to acquire more energy.

A dull scream was heard as the black tentacle was torn apart and consumed by the raging crimson storm and converted into extra energy. The beast itself withdrew what was left of its tentacle and went back into hiding.

[Sir, the entrance has been compromised, the mass of gas is closing the tunnel quickly, we have to hurry]

'UGh! Damn stupid beast.' The point of light grumbled and began to accelerate even more while the environment around it visibly shrank, some parts of the storm tried to hit it between the gaps it produced, but missed thanks to the maneuvers that the point of light carried out. .

[There won't be time sir]

Looking ahead it was possible to see that the core was still halfway away and the tunnel wouldn't hold much longer.

The point of light felt desperate for a moment, but managed to calm down after dodging yet another attack from the crimson storm.

'Damn, the tunnel is closing too fast, what does Nexus recommend?' The point of light had already run out of ideas, and turned to his faithful friend and companion.

[Sir, we have no way back, the only way is to move forward. So I recommend that we use our own energy to maintain the tunnel so that we can pass]

'What?! No, not that. If we do this, how will we infiltrate the world safely? and how will we protect ourselves afterwards? not to mention that if we do this, the mass of gas will be in danger of being consumed by other masses of gases, so we will die together with it.' The point of light refused the idea immediately.

Using their own energy means that they will be weak and have no remaining energy to be able to maintain themselves or even survive in the next world they will, after all, what's the point of going through all this work only to be exterminated by the entities of the next world?

Not to mention that using your energy will also weaken the defenses of the red gas mass and consequently attract other nearby gas masses that will try to take advantage of the momentary fragility that the red gas mass will be in order to expand.

The mass of gas knows this and could stop its attack to protect itself, but unfortunately these masses of gases are not thinking living beings, they are just clusters of energy that act on instinct.

[We have no choice, Sir. There is no turning back, we must take the risk.]

'And then do what? expect the entities in our next world to be peaceful? Or that the masses of gases will take pity on our little friend here?' The tunnel began to shrink even more and looked like it would collapse at any moment.

[We can enter stealth mode and randomly choose a host tous We disguise ourselves for a while, and as for the other masses of gasses, we can take our time recovering and thenwe will protect her when the moment comes]

'Damn it! We don't have much time... Alright! let's do this.' Then the point of light shone even brighter, if before it was like a light bulb, now it was like a huge LED panel shining non-stop. The energy he emanated spread throughout the tunnel and expelled the crimson storm out while repairing the tunnel walls back to normal.

The tunnel this time was much more robust and resistant, it seemed like it wouldn't break as easily as the previous one. The surroundings stopped shaking, the mass of gas stopped fighting back for a while, and then the point of light began to dim.

The brightness continued to dim until it looked like a mere spark that would go out before it even lit up. 'I hope this was worth it. You take control Nexus, I need to focus on recovering energy.' The point of light made one last comment before falling silent.

[Understood Sir!]

The point of light then continued its path towards the core, but this time it was many times slower than before, and seemed to be somewhat staggering with each movement.

It took a while but the point of light finally arrived in front of the core of the gas mass. The core was like a black hole, but instead of absorbing everything around it, it expelled countless waves of crimson energy every second.

It would be difficult to approach him normally, but all that use of energy from the point of light was not in vain, he had established a perfect gap to the core without suffering repulsion from it.

[...]

Nexus stopped for a moment and observed the state of his master, and judged that he was very focused on recovering his energy and could not be interrupted, so making some quick calculations he decided to enter the nucleus quickly to be able to help his master as soon as possible. .

With a 'Swoosh!' the point of light disappeared.

…

The sun shone high in the cloudless sky to prevent his punishment, the sun's rays fell on a vast green plain with tall grass, in that vast plain a commotion was unfolding.

"Die!"

"A new pack of wolves is approaching from the west,lookthem quickly."

"Argh! I'm hurt, take my position, I need to recover!"

The battlefield was in complete chaos, with exciting scenes of battles between humans and animals for survival, blood and flesh were flying everywhere, dust and grass rose on the battlefield, supernatural attacks flashed across the environment.

"You useless people! Do you know what tactics are?!" A tall, robust man got tired of the antics he was seeing and decided to take command.

"Gu Masters with defensive skills take the lead, those with attacking skills assist at the front…" The man gave ordersrigid and everyone around listened to him and did as they were commanded without question.
