My Insertas may be able to survive here but I still have to lay some groundwork so that their expansion won't be too slow.
And so, I start to think about a way to expand my indirect influence without making it too overpowered because where would the fun be if there is no chance of failure.
In the end I create a fountain of darkness near the portal which gives of an aura of darkness that covers the sky for twenty square kilometers and strengths all beings with darkness-affinity inside.
I also made it so that if you take the liquid darkness from the fountain and pour it into a special prepared well combined with a small ritual, a new fountain of darkness will be born.
This will allow my domain to expand as long as there are beings that create new fountains with the liquid darkness.
Happy with my new creation I direct my focus to the now black sky, the sun is still visible, but it lost all of its glow and is just a yellow circle in the sky.
I made it so that even when the sky becomes black, the plants still get what they need, and the land doesn't become a wasteland.
Finished with the preparations I fly up and fuse with the black sky to hide and control the incoming residents of my domain.
Sure enough, the portal suddenly starts to spit out Insertas that looks like humanoid insects.
They have only two arms and legs but are completely encased in a dark blue exoskeleton and have long claws on each limb. In addition, they also have a pair of insect wings on their back and two antennas on their head with black compound eyes.
As if that wasn't enough, they all are also equipped with armor and weapons of unknown material.
Soon hundreds of them walk around in a perfect circular formation outward with the portal as the center.
Once they reach the hundred-meter mark they all stop and stand guard while the new reinforcement comes out of the portal.
These new commers look different from the first wave.
This time they have six limbs and are smaller, they also have a brighter exoskeleton which marks them as residents of a higher layer than the first wave.
They are all driving some kind of carts pulled by bigger insects. These carts are filled with lots of building materials and manpower.
As soon as they reach the circle of guards, they immediately start building a wall behind them.
Within a very short time a solid wall was built and fully equipped with guards.
The Insertas are rather advanced, they got access to many different materials from the beginning and don't have to fear of running out thanks to the Ampheras.
With nearly infinite resources they manage to advance with ridicules speed. After they reached the required intelligence to build giant constructs or complicated equipment they started to compete with the other nests.
I always made sure that there was a sense of rivalry between the nests so that they never stop advancing in various areas.
This of course also caused lots of wars, but I interfered just before it caused them to regress or any irreversible damage.
Thanks to this I can proudly say that they are the most advanced race on this planet for now.
After observing their progress for a while, I invade the leader of this operation and feed him information's about the fountain so that they can use it to expand their territory in the future.
He didn't question the truthfulness of the new information that just appeared in his head as they long have confirmed my existence and it wasn't the first time that it happened, actually it happened a lot and became kind of normal for them that I gives out information's on a whim.
Anyway, I have finished my initial goal and except of creating an avatar to monitor their progress there is nothing other to do.
With that in mind I split of a small part of my body and form it into a black eye with neon blue iris and circuit like pattern expanding from the iris that cover it whole.
As the god of darkness, I have no problem hiding this rather bright fellow in plain sight without anyone being able to find it.
Finished with my business here I reach out with my mind and connect to my fluff throne in the godly meeting room.
Once done, my figure starts to evaporate and disappears from the planet.
POV Narrator
Within the Hall of Gods, the powerful creatures are talking amogest each other.
The topic?
Their new fellow god.
"What do you think of this newcomer, Stella?" Marek the dwarfen god asks.
"Hmm…I like him. He got more guts than those from the righteous faction and isn't completely mad like Taurus and Luren from the evil faction." Stella awnsers after a short pause completely ignoring the fact that everyone can hear what she said.
