Chapter Four: Alerted Forces II: Gathering

Through the black of space, the Being's body tore through at immense speeds as his figure was soon seen approaching a thin, faintly illuminated barrier.

This was the Mortal Region's protective barrier. His hand lifted as he pushed it through the thin barrier softly, parting it smoothly akin to one parting doors.

Vwoom!

His figure beamed out of the Mortal Region as the accursed restrictions were immediately lifted. In a series of dazzling lights barely visible to the naked eye, his body was soon seen approaching the very center of the Hallow Galaxy.

The Void of Space shook and yelped as his entire being descended at the direct center of the Galaxy.

Drawing in his power the yelps of the Void of Space eased significantly as his eyes now overlooked the beautiful view granted by his Hallow Galaxy.

Hundreds of thousands, crossing over to the millions in numbers of Ascended Regions could be seen as their individual colors radiated together in a large beam of beautiful lights.

The Being calmed his mind and heart as the sight of such beauty and power reassured him of the chances of restraining a being such as the one he had uncovered within the Mortal Region.

Breathing in slowly, his voice called out respectfully, "Your Highness."

'Volton, you're back already.'

A voice instantly replied to his call. Its serene tone of voice soothed the very chaotic air of the Void of Space as the Chaotic Energies started resonating at an unnatural rate.

Volton, the being we had been following this entire time, suddenly closed his eyes as he felt the mental link he had with the Hallow Galaxy strengthened to unimaginable heights.

Volton nodded as the grand and majestic voice of the Hallow Galaxy soundly made its way towards his mind again. It's clear tone of voice being that of a feminine one.

'Volton my child, how is the situation currently? Have you found its source?'

Volton nodded as his words soon echoed out respectfully and impassively yet the Galaxy could still sense the touts of panic tinged within.

'Yes, I have indeed. But it is not as simple as you would think..'

Hearing that, her curiosity aroused as she couldn't help but wonder what it was that had him so worried.

Volton was the type of being that would always keep a calm countenance no matter the situation. She had been by his and all other Overseers' sides for every battle they have faced. Volton was always the one who would fully reign himself in, keeping his emotions at bay even while slaughtering millions.

So seeing Volton like this surely would rouse not only her curiosity but also her concern for the development of things.

Volton kept his eyes shut as he slowly continued with his words.

'Well, do not let these words throw you into a series of outbursts.

Truth be told, I don't think there were ever any Galactic Invaders. I.. found remnant essences originating from the very Origin of an Ancient Being unbelonging to our Galaxy, Universe even!'

'Huh?!'

The Galaxy's voice rose heavily as its tone deepened heavily as well. 'Fuck!' Volton cursed as he covered his ears painfully.

The Hallow Galaxy reigned in her voice and emotions as she went silent for some moments before decisively speaking out once more.

Attempting to clear her mind of these crazy inputs of information her disbelief only grew. She really couldn't believe his words.

Truly? A being of an Era unbelonging to her own? That was truly an inconceivable reality, yet knowing Volton and his always-so serious countenance, she had to ultimately accept that this was no joke!

Snapping out of her thoughts once more the young Galaxy then went on to press Volton further, having him reveal everything that had occured during his exploration.

The information that came was so valuable that it could literally decide the future development of her entire being and all life forms within herself.

'A UNIVERSAL VAMPIRE IS IN MY GALAXY!!!'

Her voice was sonorous and vigorous as its volume tore out in high amounts. Volton picking up on this immediately tried to reach out to his Queen in order to calm her down before she could allow for her emotions to take control yet, it was far too late.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

A loud and expansive sound boomed out destructively as the surrounding Ascended Regions that held millions upon millions of planets ruptured inside out as thousands of worlds shattered in mere instances.

Volton looked around in worry as his power expanded and was unleashed.

His arms rose as his fingers literally started clawing into the fabric of space. It was then that two strange illusory clocks, silver in color appeared beneath his hands.

The areas which all had thousands of its planets obliterated into nothingness flashed brightly as countless planets began to respawn and restabilize once again.

Volton sighed in frustration as he soon after directed his attention back to the young yet wise and miserable Hallow Galaxy.

'Your Highness, I do know that it is a shocking and pressing matter but you should see it fit that you control your outbursts and emotions!' Volton scolded her as his posture straightened to suit his current disposition.

She went silent once more before finally speaking out again, this time however, controlling her tone of voice and raging emotions.

'Volton, are you telling the truth about what you said earlier?'

Volton nodded, though bringing back his earlier mentions of his suspicions of it also being true.

She made him bring out the Piecer of Origin as her consciousness was then injected into it in an abrupt manner not waiting for Volton's permission.

Not that she needed it anyways. A few minutes later her consciousness withdrew as the atmosphere thickened with the essence of elation and anxiousness.

'I can't believe it! Not only is it a Universal Vampire, it's a fledgling!' Her voice resonated blissfully with the very essences of Space and Time.

With racing thoughts, her consciousness shifted as it suddenly appeared above the border of the barrier surrounding the Mortal Region.

As she stared at this large, expansive cluster of Mortal Stars, representing the very last Mortal Region to reside within her Eternal Body, her consciousness began penetrating the barrier hastily.

Akin to a hot knife cutting through butter, the process was extremely smooth and unrelenting as she gazed upon the being that caused her mind ro quake in both surprise and excitement.

Glancing at the figure that stared emotionlessly through the folds of space and directly at her, she couldn't help but regard this being with utmost value.

Her gaze held the undulating feelings of curiosity and wonder as questions would constantly pop up within her mind.

Why was such a being dwelling within a lowly place such as a Mortal Region?

How did he even enter her Eternal Body unnoticed?

How could such an existence walk around so freely?

She wanted, no, she needed to know why! As she gazed at the being who held beautifully sculpted ruby-red irises and flourishing shoulder length silver-white hair, she commanded herself to find out the reason of this being's existence.

She knew with certainty that the rivers of Fate and Destiny were churning massively at this moment.

As of right now, the prideful Hallow Galaxy placed the value of this Fledgling Universal Vampire above that of its very own Mortal Region.

If any other Galactic Entities were to know of this they would probably implode from extreme levels of confusion. Why?

Well no matter how precious something may appear to be, there was nothing more precious to a Galactic Entity than its Mortal Regions. Even if that precious thing was something as terrifying and valuable as a Universal Vampire.

Truly, the Hallow Galaxy was a being filled with young, unadulterated madness.

Volton peered through thousands of light years of space as his gaze locked onto this sight.

His heart raced as a sudden thought roused within his very mind. 'She's really not going to try and communicate with this walking calamity, right?'

A nervous chuckle was let loose as he looked at this scene, soon however, waving his hand off as he shook his head with reason.

'Her majesty definitely wouldn't! Yes, yes. She most definitely wouldn't risk the lives of quintillions, yes!'

…

'Right?'

"Universal Vampire! I know of your existence! Reveal yourself before me now, for I am the maker of all reality within this Eternal Body! I am Nevora Hallow, Galactic Entity of this Hallow Galaxy!"

'Eh?'

Volton blinked mindlessly as a rare dumb look suddenly appeared on his face. His eyes blinked comically before a confused shout left his throat.

"EHH?!"

Her words were louder than thunder, stretching far and wide. Countless Ascended Regions shook and quaked as an aura of majesty descended upon them.

Yet it seemed impossible for any of the beings residing within those Ascended Regions to make out any words thrown out by Nevora.

All those that could truly make out her words aside from the intended target were the other Overseers who all resided in their respective palaces spread out within the Hallow Galaxy.

But why was this?

Well, it was simply due to her decreasing the basic understanding of those beings beneath her whilst not bothering to tamper with her Overseers' understandings and senses.

A simple, horrifying feat performed without even lifting a strand of Mana. She had done this in order to exterminate any chances of chaos being ensued.

How perverse!

As though she had requested them to prove that she did in fact not tamper with their senses, several bright and powerful lights suddenly beamed from all around her as seven figures flashed into existence.

The powerful beings instantly gathered around the Mortal Region as their individual gazes met one another in acknowledgment of each other's presence before ultimately focusing on the current situation.

Volton looked at this scene from afar and sighed, fatigued mentally by the actions of his Queen. 'Why must she always cause a scene…'

He blinked out of existence before appearing at the very center of the crowd of beings which by the way, consisted of four men and three women.

Looking at these people his gaze shifted into one of acknowledgment and respect one would have for a fellow peer as his aura rose to match theirs in authority.

The three women graceful and beautiful in both their postures and figures glanced towards the starry sky as Volton gazed at them for mere moments.

Each of them adorned a long, silky white dress that hugged their voluptuous body seductively. They strangely bore a resemblance to one another as their only difference lay in their hair colors and irises.

With fair skin ever so enchanting and lustrously colored hair so silky and soft it would bring forth the envy of even Aphrodite, the three women bowed towards their Queen, Nevora Hallow as the four men followed suit in their shows of respect.

Volton observed this scene unfazed as he then turned his gaze to meet the figures of four, large and proud looking men. Their bodies compacted with tight and powerful muscles as they each stood at an impressive height of 6 '3 and up, each of the men held their own level of handsomeness.

These four men and three women were the remainder of the all so powerful Overseers!

They, together with Volton made a total of eight powerful sovereigns that overlooked large expanses of Ascended Regions. Currently the seven newly arrived Overseers all shifted their gazes to Volton, their eyes demanding answers.

Volton glimpsed at them impassively before releasing a tired sigh. And so, he explained. And explained he did as, the moment he had finished the auras of all seven Overseers had warped out dangerously as they immediately identified the existence of this Universal Vampire to be that of a calamital threat.

Preparing to move ahead of everyone else, the man with short and unfettered garnet colored hair summoned forth a trident as the robe that donned his figure started fluttering madly within the Void of Space.

-

Yet, just as he was about to burst through the barrier of the Mortal Region, Nevora's voice rang out commandingly as her words that soon followed brought both the actions of the man and the man himself to a sudden halt.

'Cease! You will not attack this being, Kron!'

Boom!

Her presence seeped out in extremely miniature amounts yet all movement was halted immediately. Kron, the man who was first among his peers to initiate his advance turned his head to meet an illusory ball of many intricate and powerful essences converging at an atomic level above himself.

His gaze was one of both confusion and fear as the power of Nevora reminded him of his place. The other Overseers remained impassive however as though this was a rather common occurrence among their every gathering.

Kron was always seen as hot blooded and incredibly hostile. He would never hesitate to kill a person whom he had deemed a threat. Even if it was a baby.

One of the other men turned his gaze to meet that of Nevora's as his neck length hair, spiky, untamed and stained with a deep shade of azure swayed slowly within the Void of Space. A deep voice rang out seconds after meeting Nevora's 'gaze'.

"Your Highness, why are we not permitted to engage the supposed enemy? Is it possible that her Highness wishes to converse with the being first?"

Stating the obvious, the somewhat sharp and quick witted man, Tarkan received a grunt from Volton instead as he answered for Nevora. Tarkan sighed as he stepped back and allowed the other two men, Mjorn and Kitso to ask their individual questions as well.

All the while this short but rather informative exchange occurred, Nevora never took her aura off the Universal Vampire who had still remained motionless within the Mortal Region observing both her and her champions with a curious glint within his eyes.

Zayne with the assistance of the system was able to pinpoint just exactly who and what these beings that so boldly appeared and commanded him were.

Nevora Hallow, the Galactic Entity of the Hallow Galaxy followed by her Eight Overseers, the five men known as Volton, Kron, Mjorn, Kitso and Tarkan.

They were powerful Overseers with the youngest among them being Volton and the oldest being Kitso.

Yet Volton was considered the most talented of the Overseers as it was known that he was the youngest to ever gain such a title. He, a being of only 450,000 years.

Zayne observed the last three members who bore strong resemblances to one another.

Valera, a beauty with luscious golden hair, Glaera, a beauty with wavy to curly amethyst colored hair and finally, Dacea the youngest of the triplets who had hair that was brunette in color.

Zayne finally looked over all their information as he lastly glanced towards Nevora's projection of consciousness.

Observing it carefully he saw the faint outline of a woman's face that would form up in between set intervals. Getting a good grasp of the party in front of him, Zayne finally decided to approach them.

Nevora, glancing at his advancement stared at him as though he was a wild exotic animal finally giving into her acts of kindness and giving her trust.

From afar the Overseers saw the silhouette of a tall man approaching cautiously. The man had long silvery white hair, ruby red irises and pointed ears.

His skin was fair and white resembling that of snow and his lips were a bright red as though stained with blood. His beauty far surpassed anything they had ever seen.

With his approach he finally made it towards the inner barrier of the Mortal Region. There, he patiently waited for Nevora to create a passageway for him.

Of course he could have more than done this himself but Zayne with the aid of his system felt that he was seen as a relic in the eyes of Nevora. If it was truly like this, why shouldn't he exploit it for his own benefit?

Just transmigrated and already taking large steps on the path of galactic conquest? Fuck yeah! He truly felt as though things were set in place for him by a certain being.
