Darkness, it was the only thing I could see. My whole vision filled with a void of nothingness.

It was the same nothingness that I had viewed upon my first arrival to that evolutionary realm.

With my new sensors I tried and tried to look anywhere, to find anything that could signal where I am or at the very least how this had happened.

However, even though I went through an exhaustive process of using all of my senses I found nothing, nowhere around me could I find a trace of anything. I was truly in a void.

..

I looked behind me, Rhea was gone. There was no flash of light, no sensation that would have told me that my apprentice was gone.

It was only by my instinct that I had noticed her disappearance.

"Guh" A low grunt escaped from my mouth as the planet took my moment of distraction to speed up their attack.

Blood leaked from numerous cuts, however they were soon patched up. Fresh skin replaced the damaged as I focused my full attention on the planet.

My eyes narrowed as I glared further into it trying to find the exact reason why I was feeling so much pressure.

For now I could disregard the disappearance of my apprentice, the planet had my full attention.

'Further' I thought to myself, enhancing my vision with as much aether as the eye could take.

..

ROAR

My roar echoed out as I applied my pressure into the being that had dared to challenge my sovereignty, I could tell its intentions at first glance.

It wanted my planet, it wanted my resources.

Whatever it was, this being that dared to challenge me was strong.

A toothy smile split my face as I stretched my wings, mountains crumbling as my legs stretched.

Below me the core of the planet was covered by an endless amount of dirt that I had created.

"Come, I'm waiting" I roared into the night sky.

..

I looked away, it was of no use to even glance at the creature that used the planet as a territory.

It had challenged me, it could wait the few days that it would take to get there.

In the meantime while I waited I needed to configure my weapons, it would be a shame if this creature did not feel my full power.

Days passed as I configured and created new mods for my weapons, the creature that I was going to fight was massive, there was no doubt that I would need to be as destructive as possible.

It was why I had hastily created what I would call a true bomb. Something that would disintegrate anything it came into contact with.

An antimatter bomb, using the core's blueprint that I had memorized, I weaponized the theory of antimatter.

If it could disintegrate my armor then it would no doubt be able to kill that overgrown lizard.

..

Sitting on the top of the jet while it was in orbit of the planet I looked down.

It was a luxurious planet, filled with vegetation and life. Some of the creatures seemed to naturally emit some aura that seemed vaguely threatening but that was not what I looked at.

No, what I was looking at was the massive creature that covered more than a whole land mass by its own size. Not to mention the wings that looked as if they could wrap around the world.

I smirked as I looked down at the face of the creature.

A huge cannon was set over my shoulders, I had not been able to make a cannon shoot antimatter but I went for the next best thing, a rod of god.

Using the immense gravity of the planet I would send down some of the heaviest, sharpest, and biggest pillars that I could make with the resources at hand.

BOOM

BOOM

BOOM

BOOM

Four pillars, four wounds, its wings were crippled. The joints holding them together were severed.

ROOAAAAAAAR

A roar of pain echoed in the sky, I could hear it even from where I stood, in the upper orbit of the planet.

As those were the only pillars that I had the resources to make, they were the only things I could send down without the fear of retaliation.

But now that I had nothing that I could send from this altitude I jumped, the wind whipping in my ear as it attempted to pierce the protective armor and skin of my body.

I raised the eyepatch and placed it into my pocket, a green eye with a cross in it stared down.

BANG BANG BANG

Hundreds of shots fired out as I fell to the ground.

A swipe to my body was missed as I used the recoil of my gun to redirect my body down to the ground faster.

BOOOOOM

historical

A huge dust cloud rose into the sky as my body fell to the ground, however I didn't let that affect my vision as immediately upon landing I ran to the nearest part of the body that I could find and with a pull of the trigger annihilated it with aether enhanced bullets.

Blood sprayed out, painting my figure red as I rushed towards its head, shooting at everything that came after me.

..

"PUNY BUG!" I roared out as thousands of magic circles appeared in the sky, each taking an insignificant amount of aether to create.

Upon creating them I immediately released their effects, as thousands of elemental arrows of all kinds lit up the sky.

ROOAAR

I roared again as none had hit my target, she was surprisingly agile and although I could see all that came into the range of my body there was no way for me to pinpoint her.

Of course I could see her but to pinpoint her exact location and send a spell there to annihilate her was impossible.

My eyes narrowed into a glare as I activated another spell, this one was not one of offense but of transformation.

It would allow me to condense my body into a form more suitable for battle, one that would be approximately 5 times the size of my current enemy instead of the continental size of my body now.

Of course my wings would be forfeit if I did that but I could grow another pair, these ones right now are just a nuisance.

A massive pillar of light consumed me as my body condensed into a more dense one, fit for battle.
