When one did not seek conflict, conflict did not seek them either.
Not so easily, anyway.
Four weeks and a half after the extinction of the Pandemonium Lifeforms, an event of profound significance had occurred silently.
Alexander was seated on top of a dead star with Claire, with them just lying down as they stared at other distant stars.
Suddenly, Claire looked down at her chest and saw a burning Quasar filled with tens of thousands of Black Holes; these Black Holes inside the Quasar pulsed as if they accelerated as they doubled, tripled, and then quadrupled in number rapidly.
“Alex…”
She blinked at such a scene as beside her, Alexander looked down to see that his Supermassive Empyreal Quasar was spinning rapidly as millions of illusory stars began to gather and spin around it.
Millions.
And this number seemed like it would reach billions soon as his Supermassive Empyreal Galaxy would be something grand.
All around, waves of pure natal authority gathered towards him as at that moment, without so much as an effort, a natural galaxy began to form in his Enneagram!
He held the Galaxy Core of the Alcyoneus Galaxy within his origin as at this moment, after four weeks since he had it within him…his Supermassive Empyreal Quasar naturally developed to become a Supermassive Epyreal Galaxy!
He turned to Claire as he told her not to worry.
“Just a little change in my power, we can go ahead and continue stargazing…”
The terrifying advancement was nothing for him to worry about as it occurred naturally and without any major worries, his mind only focused on understanding and comprehending as the galaxy formed.
He saw that his assimilated Covenants of Nature also changed. Gradually, they became something more and more pristine. He felt like they were connected to and reaching out towards something even grander than themselves.
While the Supermassive Empyreal Galaxy formed, of course, it also elevated and enhanced his Gem Constellations as well as the Core Features of the Enneagram!
It didn’t even seem all that long ago before they were elevated, but the longest period had actually passed since he first Awakened to become a Gem Master up to this point.
For weeks was a longer time period than any of the events he was involved in since he awakened as, at this moment, this was the most unrushed advancement in power.
It occurred, and he simply let it as hundreds of millions of stars formed within his Supermassive Empyreal Galaxy as every now and then, a few thousand Black Holes and a few thousand Quasars would bloom as well.
A galaxy filled with an unfathomable number of Stars, Black Holes, and Empyreal Quasars as every single one was a distinctly different body that carried the allure of Empyreal.
It was something that other beings would not even be able to comprehend as Alexander simply acted as a silent observer in its occurrence.
A day later.
Alexander floated in the very center of this galaxy as he had his eyes closed while the Enneagram on his chest vibrated and pulsed in a unique fashion.
On it, a genuine Supermassive Empyreal Galaxy spun around freely as at this point, it held billions of stars, black holes, and Empyreal Quasars within it!
His eyes were closed as he was utilizing the expanded features of the Enneagram that had the Investigator expand the range it could cover to 10 million light years. At the same time, the range of the Peacemaker and the amount of information that it could draw upon was expanded to 5 million light years!
Such a range was one which actually allowed him to cover multiple Galaxies all around as he was able to obtain an immense amount of information.
Towards the north, there was a galaxy nearby that was known as the Flame Star Galaxy.
To the west, there was the Zeta Aquarii Galaxy. To the east, the Eusebia Galaxy, and to the south…the Virgo Hyperion Galaxy.
Past all of these galaxies, there was a distance of exactly fifty thousand light years before the observable boundaries of other galaxies began.
Every single one of the Galaxies around Alexander’s was approximately within a range of 300,000 light years to 600,000 light years in size. But undoubtedly, from the end of one observable Galaxy to another, there would always be exactly Fifty thousand light-year distance!
It was terrifying to imagine as he entirely confirmed that his Galaxy and the Galaxies around him were all neatly stacked on top of each other, in a very clear configuration that made it seem as if someone or something had done all of this purposefully.
Now, what power was required exactly to move entire galaxies and place them in such an orderly fashion?
Another major question that Alexander had was that with his range, much of the perception that was heavily expanded by the Investigator and the Peacemaker at most reached 10 million light years, but if he were to go farther…
Across 50 million light years, or even a billion light years or more, would he continue to see stacks of hundreds and thousands of Galaxies all around?
It was a terrifying thought to have as there were far too many unknowns with all of this!
The one thing that gave him solace was the fact that in the nearby Galaxies, nearly all of them did not have another Galaxy Gem Master with them.
Nearly all.
The Virgo Hyperion Galaxy though…actually had two Galaxy Gem Masters!
Two women known as Amazonia Crixana and Amazonia Lux.
Their natures were unique ones as from the Peacemaker, he had obtained a bit of their records and histories without their knowledge.
And he understood these Galaxy Gem Masters to be those who only sought to protect the Galaxy they were in, as they had only once left its observable boundary and proceeded to understand the same nature that Alexander found out just recently.
That in any direction they left their own galaxy, there were exactly fifty thousand light years before they touched another galaxy.
But they did not seek any fame or power as when they saw this, they simply returned to their own Galaxies and proceeded to protect their vast and massive united empire that stretched out across it.
They were people of peace, just like him, and he did not seek any conflict with them.
If they had turned out to be some war-mongering Galaxy Gem Masters, that would have been an entirely different story as he would be forced to pull out a Bow that could hunt and kill from distant Galaxies.
But sensing the oddity of the formation of Galaxies all around him, as well as the unknown possibilities and dangers that came with it, Alexander finally pulled upon and released the bubbling authority of the Core Feature of the Enthusiast.
The one that could gaze into the future as at this moment, he allowed the prophetic words of this feature to flow through his mouth and utter out wonder.
“When a wandering Alchemist passes through and senses an Empyreal allure
When his depth and power reveal utter hopelessness
An exchange will be made as it shall be the spark
The spark that shall usher the expansion of Peace across the Cosmic Tower.
With a swipe of a hand, Galaxies shatter.
With a breath of the end, Universes shudder.
For the sake of peace, just what will be enough?
The Peacemaker asks, what will be enough?!”
…!
