Chapter 260: Genesis Behemoths

Chapter 260: Chapter 260: Genesis Behemoths

Neo stood in the absolute silence of the Apex Horizon command deck. The blinding white light of his newly acquired physical authority pulsed perfectly in sync with the bleeding red dark matter of his Dominator Core. He had assimilated the Architect. He had stolen the fundamental blueprints of reality itself.

​He looked down into the swirling infinite abyss of the Primordial Deep.

​The Ancient Fleet was entirely under his control. Millions of colossal vessels aimed their world ending weapons into the dark. Neo could feel the remaining Universal Lords stirring in the depths below. Entities like Kaelith the Lord of Silence and Orox the Lord of Infinite Mass were fully awake now. They were projecting waves of cosmic terror and confusion.

They could not comprehend how their brother Eldrim had been consumed. They could not understand how a newborn god had bypassed their sacred hierarchy to become a Primordial Creator.

​They were beginning to rally their own defenses. They were weaving new cosmic strings and attempting to lock down the spatial coordinates of their territories. They thought they could barricade themselves against the Ancient Fleet.

​Neo smiled. It was a cold expression entirely devoid of mercy.

​The Ancient Fleet was magnificent. It was a testament to the supreme physics of the first epoch. But as Neo ran his mind through the Primordial Blueprint, he realized something deeply unsatisfying.

​These ships belonged to Eldrim. They were the legacy of a dead god.

​Neo was the absolute ruler of the multiverse now. He did not want to conquer the remaining primordial entities using borrowed tools, even if those tools were the strongest weapons in existence. He was a Creator. It was time he actually created something of his own. Something that carried his specific signature of red malice and white order.

​"System, Initiate the Genesis Forge. Disable all standard safety limiters regarding mass and spatial density."

​The pitch black interface in his mind flashed with a brilliant white border.

​[Genesis Forge Initiated.]

​[Warning. Disabling mass limiters will cause severe gravitational tearing in the local sector.]

​[Awaiting design parameters.]

​Neo raised both of his hands. He did not point them at the Primordial Deep. He pointed them at the empty, ruined space surrounding his flagship.

​"I need monsters," Neo commanded softly. "I need entities that make the Null Leviathans look like harmless insects. Pull the darkest matter from my Dominator Core. Pull the absolute physics from the Primordial Blueprint. We are going to build the ultimate apex predators."

​Neo unleashed his power.

​An ocean of liquid red energy erupted from his chest. It expanded outward in a terrifying shockwave that instantly dwarfed the size of the Apex Horizon. The red energy did not dissipate into the vacuum. It thickened. It coagulated into a massive, pulsating nebula of pure biological potential.

​Then, Neo injected the blinding white light of the first singularity directly into the center of the nebula.

​The reaction was instantaneous and violently beautiful. The white light acted as a skeleton, a cage of unbreakable physics that forced the chaotic red dark matter to take a specific shape.

​Neo became a sculptor working with the clay of the cosmos. He shaped the raw materials with his mind. He wove bones out of compressed event horizons. He forged flesh out of crystallized red dark matter. He crafted scales from the shattered remnants of dead universes.

​The scale of his creation was completely beyond mortal comprehension.

​He was not building ships. He was forging living Cosmic Behemoths.

​The first entity took shape in the void. It was a draconian nightmare of impossible proportions. Its serpentine body stretched across a distance of three million lightyears. Its massive wings were woven from localized cosmic strings, allowing it to glide seamlessly through the fundamental fabric of reality.

Its head alone was the size of a supercluster, adorned with jagged horns that passively tore holes in the space time continuum.

​When the Behemoth opened its eyes, they burned with the inverted black and white light of Neo himself.

​[Entity Forged: Genesis Behemoth.]

​[Classification: Multiversal Eradicator.]

​[Length: Three point two million lightyears.]

​[Primary Weapon: Absolute Deletion Breath.]

​The Behemoth uncoiled its massive form. It let out a roar that did not produce sound, but instead produced a gravitational shockwave that instantly pulverized a thousand nearby dead planets into atomic dust.

The creature bowed its colossal head toward the Apex Horizon, submitting entirely to the will of its creator.

​But Neo was not finished.

​One monster was not enough to cleanse the multiverse and conquer the deep.

​He kept his hands raised. He poured more of his soul into the Genesis Forge. He drained the ambient energy of the surrounding dimensions to fuel his terrifying industrial process.

​A second Behemoth spawned from the red nebula. Then a third. Then a tenth.

​Within minutes, Neo had forged an entire swarm of these cosmic horrors. One hundred Genesis Behemoths now floated in the void around his flagship. They completely blocked out the remaining starlight. Their sheer collective mass was so immense that the universe itself began to tilt and warp around them. They were an armada of living destruction, born from the synthesis of perfect order and chaotic hunger.

​Neo lowered his hands. He felt a brief wave of exhaustion wash over his physical avatar, but his Dominator Core quickly compensated, flooding his veins with fresh adrenaline and dark matter.

​He looked at his new children. They were beautiful. They were the ultimate expression of his absolute authority.

​"The Universal Lords think they can hide. The rebel sectors of the multiverse think they can simply ignore the red sky. They believe the cosmic order will eventually return to normal."

​Neo pointed his finger toward the fractured boundary of the Primordial Deep, and then swept his hand across the vast expanse of the surrounding multiversal sectors.

​"Show them the new order," Neo commanded. "Leave nothing but empty space."

"KKKKKKKKKKKKK!!

​The Genesis Behemoths moved.

​They did not use standard propulsion. They bit directly into the fabric of reality and pulled themselves forward, tearing massive holes in the dimensions as they went.

​Fifty of the Behemoths dove straight down into the Primordial Deep. They bypassed the Ancient Fleet entirely. They plunged into the eternal darkness where the remaining Universal Lords were frantically trying to build their defenses.

​The Lords had erected a barrier of infinite mass, a wall of pure gravity designed to crush anything that tried to enter their sacred resting place.

​The lead Behemoth did not even slow down. It opened its supercluster sized jaws and clamped down directly onto the gravitational barrier. The creature crushed the absolute physics between its teeth. The barrier shattered like cheap glass.

​The Behemoths swarmed into the Deep. They fell upon the sleeping realms of the ancient gods. Kaelith the Lord of Silence attempted to mute their existence, weaving a localized dimension of pure nothingness around them.

​In response, three Behemoths unleashed their Absolute Deletion Breath.

​Torrents of concentrated red and white fire washed over the dimension of silence. The breath weapon bypassed all defensive concepts. It burned away the darkness. It burned away the silence. It found the core of Kaelith and incinerated the ancient entity within seconds. The Lord of Silence was erased from the timeline entirely, leaving behind absolutely no trace of his ten billion year reign.

​Orox the Lord of Infinite Mass tried to crush the Behemoths by collapsing a trillion black holes directly on top of them. The monsters simply swam through the crushing gravity. Their event horizon bones easily absorbed the pressure. They wrapped their three million lightyear long bodies around Orox and constricted. The Lord of Infinite Mass was squeezed until his cosmic form detonated, sending a shockwave of dead energy echoing through the endless depths.

​While the Deep was being purged, the other fifty Behemoths spread out across the upper multiverse.

​They targeted the celestial sectors that had refused to acknowledge Neo as the absolute ruler. These were sprawling empires governed by lesser deities and highly advanced civilizations. They possessed armadas of billions of ships and planetary defense grids powered by enslaved stars.

​It did not matter.

​A Genesis Behemoth appeared in the center of the largest rebellious galaxy. The civilization there attempted to fire their ultimate weapons. Trillions of plasma beams and kinetic penetrators struck the scales of the creature.

​The Behemoth did not even register the attack. It simply opened its maw and inhaled.

​The gravitational pull generated by its lungs was catastrophic. Billions of stars, trillions of planets, and the entire defending armada were sucked helplessly into the endless red abyss of the creature’s throat. The entire galaxy was consumed in a single breath. The Behemoth swallowed the civilization and digested their matter to fuel its own endless dark energy.

​Then it moved to the next galaxy.

​Across the multiverse, the red sky returned. But this time, it was accompanied by the massive, terrifying shadows of the Genesis Behemoths. They swam through the cosmic ocean, devouring any sector that contained the lingering taint of the old celestials.

They erased rebel dimensions. They unmade magical realms. They chewed through the cosmic strings and left massive, empty voids in their wake.

​Neo watched the total annihilation from the command deck of the Apex Horizon.

​The system interface cascaded with constant notifications of destroyed sectors, deleted gods, and consumed galaxies. The multiversal map was being rapidly rewritten. The old borders were gone. The territories of the Prime Usurpers were gone. The sacred resting place of the Universal Lords was currently being digested by his children.

​Only the First Universal Empire remained untouched. Neo had woven a protective cocoon of pure absolute physics around the sector containing his capital planet, ensuring that Zestia, Noir, and little Lyra were completely isolated from the cosmic slaughter.

​Neo sat down on a throne of solidified white light that he materialized on the deck. He rested his chin on his fist.

​The war was already over. There was no grand final battle. There was no desperate struggle for survival. He had evolved beyond the need for struggle. He had released an apex predator into a pond filled with helpless fish.

​He was the Primordial Creator. The multiverse was his blank canvas, and he was currently using his Behemoths to erase the old painting. Soon, the canvas would be entirely blank. And then, he would finally have the peace and quiet required to paint his masterpiece.
