Supergiant

"Report! The Blue Spirit family, allied with our civilization, has been attacked by forces from the dark quadrant. The guard units stationed nearby have been overwhelmed. Their leader is the Supergiant from the Black Order!"

Caesar, amidst his visit to the majestic Tiangong Throne battleship—a marvel engineered from vast resources and energy by Sacred Caesar—paused as a junior Angel hastened towards him with urgent news concerning Thanos and his lieutenants.

Since Thanos had ventured into the void to confront Tiffan, Caesar had been meticulously instructing his subordinates to monitor Thanos and assess the strength of his followers.

He had been anticipating, waiting for any sign of Thanos' response.

"Supergiant?" Caesar's voice was low and tinged with foreboding as he laid a hand on the ornate and imposing surface of the Tiangong throne.

"It appears the full extent of the news hasn't reached you yet!"

"Thanos, I am on my way!"

Having declared his intent, Caesar gave a solemn nod to the junior Angel, signaling the end of the report. He then turned to dismiss Keisha and Lian Bing, who were eager to lead a counterstrike.

Lan Lingxing, located on the fringes of the Andromeda galaxy, was considerably distant from Angel Star, which lacked direct access to nearby jump points. The fastest way to render aid would be through hyperspace teleportation.

Keisha and Lian Bing realized they were running out of time.

After a moment's contemplation, Caesar removed his glove, revealing the Space Gem. He handed it to Keisha with strict instructions to remain vigilant and ready to support their allies at all times. Then, activating a system reward he had acquired during a previous skirmish with the Collector, he initiated the teleportation.

Accompanied by the Void Throne and Cool Bing Varina, Caesar transported directly to Lan Lingxing.

The Blue Spirits, known for their vast numbers and deep spirituality, could not afford to let Supergiant wreak havoc on half of their population. The stakes were too high, and Caesar was ready to intervene.

Lan Lingxing, known for his exceptional intelligence-gathering skills among the Black Orders, leads Kiritas and a sizable contingent of vanguard guards. They meticulously divide the entire Blue Spirit Clan, assigning individuals across different groups with precision.

Old men here, children there — the division of life is done with a sense of fairness and balance that rivals Thanos's dark quadrant. They're pros at this, executing it like clockwork. And disturbingly, many in the dark quadrant have been indoctrinated to believe they're aiding in the universe's balance, justifying their actions.

To them, the disappearance of a significant portion of the population means more resources for those left behind. Supergiant, with her overwhelmingly potent telepathy and mind manipulation, shares this belief. In fact, she thinks halving the population is too conservative; she suggests eliminating at least two-thirds.

Having possessed formidable psychic abilities since childhood, Supergiant has seen her fair share of ugliness in the world. She often finds herself confronted with unsavory thoughts that she feels compelled to eradicate.

But now, her focus isn't on identifying which Blue Eldar are more deserving of sacrifice to restore universal equilibrium. Her attention is fixed on the void, alert for any potential threats.

Despair pervades the Blue Spirit people, and the dark quadrant's ominous agenda has spread across the universe. Despite the division causing distress, most of the Blue Spirit tribe stoically accept their fate, turning to prayer.

Some pray for the intervention of angels or a savior, while others fear becoming sacrificial pawns. Their prayers echo through the silence as they anxiously await what comes next.

For some reason, the folks in the dark corner, those who were already skilled and had parted ways with their sacrifices, seemed rather unfamiliar. They appeared to be waiting.

Supergiant began disposing of some folks who didn't quite meet her standards, acting a bit restless. But then, her entire body tensed up, her eyes widening as she fixed her gaze on a certain spot in the void.

And then, it struck — terror!

The grand Tiangong Throne suddenly materialized on the Blue Spirit Star. Its colossal shadow loomed over a throng of Blue Spirit clanspeople who were kneeling and praying, their cheers and roars of hope echoing out.

They believed with all their hearts that they were safe beyond measure. Their excitement reached fever pitch, some even fainting with the sheer intensity of it all.

"Sis, is that our god?" a young Blue Spirit clansman asked, tugging on his sister's trembling sleeve.

"That's God, the Almighty," his sister affirmed, her voice steady. "He's come to rescue us!"

"We're blessed to lay eyes on the divine," she continued.

"Brother, remember, it's the Almighty who shields us from our foes," she added earnestly. "We must strive to reach the Heavenly Palace, become His chosen saints, draw nearer to Him, and serve Him!"

Years of unwavering faith, coupled with divine intervention during crises, fueled the Blue Spirit Clan's faith anew.

However, Caesar paid little heed to such matters. In his eyes, the faith of a mere clan held little significance today.

It wasn't worth his time.

He had one goal in mind: Thanos!

And Supergiant, who watched Caesar closely, was just the beginning.
