BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Explosions reverberated through Genesis' Astral Road, gigantic spaceships made of black, silver, and white metal rushed through the Astral Road, firing massive beams and lasers against gigantic Divine Beasts and Outer Gods who fought against one another.
The Divine Beasts died in drives, but constantly appeared anew, endlessly, constantly evolving, growing larger and fiercer. They resembled all kinds of animals imbued with elements. Blazing Lions, Frost Giraffes, Storm Wolves, Darkness Sharks, Holy Light Owls, and
more.
Each one of these Divine Beasts exuded tremendous Divine Power, they were Supreme God- Level Divine Beasts, which protected and lived around the confines of Genesis, its very center, distorted and warped through the Astral Road's protection, the very Crystalized Core of the Planet, which had been growing into its own completely white planetoid of almost the same size as Earth.
The spaceships moving through the Astral Road were completely alien to Genesis, as no living being had ever created them in here... However, they were recognizable only to the most ancient of beings that had lived on this planet, those that came from even before the Ancient Era.
They came in droves of hundreds, and there were larger ones, gigantic in size, surpassing even Realms themselves, which emerged from the huge crack in space from time to time, coming directly from the outer universe.
This crack in space wasn't here to begin with at all, but was cracked open by the Spaceships themselves...
And the Titans made of Steel that came with them.
"ROOOAARR!"
A massive Blazing Lion Divine Beast roared, over three hundred meters of height, moving across the Astral Road, swinging its gigantic claws, it clashed against the nearby spaceships, sending them flying away with loud blazing explosions.
BOOOM!
As the beast attacked and roared, something much smaller rapidly approached them, a group of three "Steel Titans" which were made of white, silver, and black steel.
Their forms were humanoid, but each one had distinct designs, sharp edges, and were holding large mechanical laser weapons.
"Hey Alpha-37, did you find them?"
"Alpha-38, I can see it! A giant lion thing... made of fire! Is this even real?"
"Alpha-37 here, yes it is indeed real, Alpha-38, we've been here for a couple of days already. This world used to be like a normal planet until that alien came here! Now everything has become crazy."
"Alpha-39 here, it's insane the higher ups want this chaotic mess of a planet... world... realm? what can you even call a world that is contained within a pocket dimension with stars and planets inside? I have never seen something like this before, honesty."
"I don't think it even matters at this point, Alpha-39, keep moving! Formation-3, fire from a distance! Fire! Fire!"
The trio of mechanical giants rapidly surrounded the lion, each one was only around fifty meters of height and couldn't match the lion's massive height.
However, they outmatched it on speed and agility, easily evading the Divine Beast's attacks that could destroy entire Realms.
"GRAAAOOH!"
The Blazing Lion kept chasing them, moving farther and farther away from the Divine Beast Army, the trio quickly started shooting lasers from their cannons.
"Materialize your cannons!"
The leader quickly gave orders, as all three of the mechanical giants materialized a pair of huge cannons from their shoulders, firing beams of highly concentrated and pressurized proton energy.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM"
"GRYAAGH?!"
The Blazing Lion suddenly gained three massive holes over its gigantic body. its innards splattered into the Astral Road's space, as the lion vomited blood, struggling, but ultimately dying.
"Alpha-39, fully slayed fire lion-type alien report."
"Alpha-38, fully slayed fire lion-type alien report.
"Alpha-37, fully slayed fire lion-type alien report.
All three pilots said the same thing, as the unleashed a blue light over the lion's corpse, which began to rapidly disintegrate the lion, moving it towards another area of space through Matter Teleportation, their own type of non-magical teleportation these invaders had created.
"Reported! That's a big catch, you guys! It's going to be a lot of Credits!"
The voice of a young woman echoed within the screens inside of the mechanical robots, as the guys smiled, feeling lucky.
"Nice!"
"We can finally afford some good stuff for once."
"Hey, don't lower your guard, we're still in dangerous territory!"
Two of them liked goofing around, the third was much serious, looking around for any potential danger as they scanned away the lion using their advanced technology.
They glanced into the distance, the white-colored planet the entire Galactic Confederation
has been aiming for since they arrived here.
"They say that huge planet made of white diamond is worth quintillions, is it true?"
"It is where the Alien Genesis lives after all, it's a dangerous planet by itself." "I've heard every expedition that went there had gotten lost and never returned. It is guarded by powerful alien lifeforms using supernatural powers that bend the laws of physics."
"And there are also Dimensional Barriers, layered, which we have not been able to pierce through yet. But the confederation is working on countermeasures."
"That's crazy... Well, we're only low-rank soldiers at most, let's just hunt small fry and get out of here, another monster and our daily quota should be done."
"Yeah, I agree, let's-"
CRAAASH!
"Huh?!"
"What was that? Alpha-39! Do you copy?!"
The two pilots panicked as they heard an explosion, as if something of metal broke apart and exploded, the two titanic machines glared at their ally, Alpha-39, something completely pitch-black in color had lurked behind them.
With its long tentacles, it had pierced the robot's chest, completely puncturing it and tearing it apart, the body of the human inside wearing a spaceship struggled in agony, squirming around as the black tentacle pierced its chest, its blood rapidly freezing until it stopped
moving...
"A-Alpha-39?!"
"NICK!"
The two pilots glared in horror at the thing behind their friend's machine, which was unable to respond with its automatic defense system due to the monstrosity's powers.
A large sphere of black flesh, with long tentacles, and several crimson eyes, alongside a big
jaw beneath all those eyes...
Its massive body seemed to bend with space, and the void.
"Pathetic humans... Do you truly believe you have any standing in this war?! You're nothing but
insects!"
And its tenebrous voice echoed inside their minds, giving them immense migraine.
"Ugh! A-An Outer God! We found an Outer God!"
"Retreat! Retreat! Report to the Base! Report!"
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
But it was too late, as the robots were torn to shreds as the Outer God's tentacles pierced
through them, breaking them into tiny pieces, the humans inside were quickly devoured.
"These humans have grown truly delusional! Believing they stand any chance because they wear these metallic suits... Deplorable...!"
The Outer God quickly merged back with the Void, moving around, lurking. Until suddenly, several dozens of Divine Beasts gathered around it.
"ROOAAARRR!"
"SHAAAAHH!"
"GRYEEEEH!"
The elemental beasts roared ferociously, attacking it even when it was between the void,
hitting it from every angle with powerful magical attacks.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
"UUGHH! SO ANNOYING! BEGONE!"
The Outer God opened its jaws, devouring whole the Divine Beasts one after another... It
seemed like an easy meal.
However.
"Found the Outer God! Engage! Fire at will!"
"Ugh?!"
The Outer God's eyes widened, as he was suddenly surrounded by dozens of mechanical
giants, firing powerful cosmic beams against his body.
And leaving countless holes through it.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"D-DAMN HUMAAANNNSSS!"
As all of this chaos repeated, with factions fighting against one another for land and resources, Genesis glanced at everything in silence, growing more and more stressed. "My precious world... Just what has happened to it?!"
Author's Note: And here comes the new arc! It won't be very long though, but it'll greatly
expand Genesis World Building, what's going on in here, and it will also characterize and make many of the characters we've only seen superficially, making them much deeper and alive. There will also be a new "hero" within this arc as they try to fend off multiple invaders at once, someone very connected with Kireina.
