Chapter 30 - Nocturne

As the ship passed the ashen and dark magma-covered earth the hatch opened Odin(ori) jumped down from it.

'Yea whatever you don't need to ask'

'So how are you gonna get this one are you gonna talk to him again?' Odin asked him through telepathy.

'Well yea that works best, of course, I could kidnap him but he'd be unwilling I want them to still think they have freedom when in reality they don't because they are beings bound to fate.'

'So you're just gonna talk to them ok got it'

Odin walked the dark world of nocturne he in actuality didn't jump near anywhere he just landed where he felt like. So he needed to find a place underground to find some life and hopefully find a salamander of course he could go to the fortress in Prometheus but that wasn't as fun.

As the suits, AI warned him of the animals around he soon was met with a lizard a big one at that but soon 19 more joined the lizard. They stared at Odin waiting before they would pounce on him.

Odin reached for his back he grabbed a black stick from his back that came from his spine. Odin pointed the stick at the reptiles and got ready. After a few seconds of starting one of the smaller lizards pounced on him, Odin waited until it reached the range of his weapon and activated it the black light that came from the scythe was soon inside the reptiles head.

A metallic arm came out of odins right arm and grabbed the lizard's head this caused the blade of the scythe to be pulled out like butter. After this, the other lizards decided to to join they didn't care for the death of the lizard in fact they would be happy since that meant more food for them.

Odin stood still as the lizards came at him he swung his scythe casually. Soon the lizards were dead Odin put his scythe back and a small opening opened in his cybernetic spine he put the black stick there and soon the opening closed. Odin walked towards the lizards and kneeled over them the hair on odins had soon raised and extended towards the lizard this hair was also an implant that allowed him to examine anything or allowed him to connect to any technology.

After a few seconds, Odin received the examination of the lizards and became quite surprised this was a hybrid it was mostly a carbon-based lifeform but it was also a Telesto lifeform. This meant they were descendants of the KR-ALEC this shocked him because that race went extinct around 14 billion years during the war of Apollo. They sacrificed themselves to stop the invasion of the star people. The combined suicide of the KR-ALEC made a huge singularity that annihilated the star people. This also caused a vast expansion of the universe Odin had to step in to stop the immense amount of energy from destroying worlds.

The KR-ALEC couldn't have made this species since this universe was around 13.8 billion years old and they also couldn't travel between universes so this either meant they exited here or it was something else. The KR-ALEC were a species of Telesto-based life they were also called lightning people by many others they were a very docile race. They were dragged into a war with a race known as the star people or by their species name LERUAXESA. This race was born deep within neutron stars they could easily evolve since they died very quickly but they soon gained a long life their average lifespan was a few hundred thousand years they also kept their fast evolution.

The KR-ALEC being keen on finding allies soon found them and tried to get this race to join them. The star people didn't agree they believed that since stars were very common they were the superior race they wished to rule the universe, of course, this meant either killing or enslaving other races. This lead to a full-out war that somehow no other species knew about that lasted for 500 million years the KR-ALEC decided that they couldn't continue and decided to take the star people with them.

The resulting singularity and expansion were what got the attention of all the other races. Odin erected a statue on the homeworld of the KR-ALEC for their sacrifice.

'Hey look at this' Odin said as he sent the information to the other.

'What the fuck dude really should we go find them?'

'No it's not important but we have to be careful if they exist then star people might be present.'

Odin soon took a chunk of the lizard and are it so he could have their abilities added to him. Since his devour ability improved everything he also got the KR-ALEC genes added to himself. Odin soon left and started his search for an underground shelter.

After a few minutes of walking, he received an alert from his suit.

[detecting 20 subhuman entities 13 miles west]

'It seems I found the natives of this world already.'

Odin soon reached the area and saw ebony men with red eyes in green armor. he also saw smaller people compared to the space marines there skin was dark but not like the salamanders they had a red hue on their iris.

'It seems these guys are at the last hurdle.'

Odin watched as the aspirants walked up the mountain the space marines stopped but the aspirants continued climbing. Odin decided to wait for them to finish before taking a space marine.

But that thought was soon dismissed a black figure appeared out of nowhere his long claws soon impaled an aspirant and soon the figure flashed but before he could kill the last aspirant a bullet destroyed half his body.

As Odin appeared he waved his arm healing and reviving the aspirants. Before they could react they were teleported near the marines. The creature soon healed and turned to look at Odin.

The creature's eyes became a scarlet red and soon it lunged at Odin with unimaginable speed. Odin dodged the claw and soon counterattacked by punching the creature's abdomen. The force of the punch caused the creature to fly up into the sky by the rate it was going it would leave the planet but a portal appeared above it. The creature soon appeared back in front of Odin the creature was again hit by Odin this instantaneous cancellation of momentum caused the creature to pop like a balloon.

The black most that lingered soon started to spread and multiple black creatures appeared.

"I hate multipliers weak but numerous"

Odins left arm soon opened and a grey and blue parallelogram handle appeared. Odin took it and a swarm of nanites from his right arm converged at the end of the handle. Odin pointed his weapon at the horde of creatures the creatures stared at Odin like he was a big piece of meat.

The swarm was still multiplying in around 30 minutes it would easily cover every inch of the planet. To Odin, these creatures were weak and annoying but to anyone else, this creature was a death sentence the creature was in the hope realm they liked to devour all types of life and most universes don't have anyone in the nothing realm even the dragons couldn't protect them. But what actually made them scary was that each time they died they duplicated of one was the end of all life then what was hundreds of trillions of them.

The only being that could stop them were either dead or trying to become stronger so only one being was left which was Odin, of course, a while ago there was a giant dragon that guarded reality but Odin killed it and became the guardian of reality.

'I wish I could have fought these guys last time I was in the void annihilation realm it took just a month to reach past the assimilation realm.'

Odin started to think back to how everything started and soon got annoyed he soon rushed into the swarm and started hacking at the creatures. The space marines started moving back and shooting at the swarm which did nothing the creatures didn't bother with the group since they weren't tasty the swarm kept jumping at Odin without care.

The mist soon started covering the world making it even darker than it normally was.

'what's going on?'

'Fuck off I'm busy.'

'Is this because of you?'

'Everything you see is because of me even you fuckwit.'

Odin kept killing the creatures if they actually had a physical form when they died the mountain would already pile above this planet.

"Just fuck off already you annoying low born!"

With odins shout, the creatures stopped and soon one by one they disappeared by then end a gold and silver orb appeared in odins hand this was an oblivion core since the swarm combined power reached oblivion their death registered as an oblivion realm dying leaving a core.

Odin ate the core and looked around he soon found the group that was locking around everywhere the aspirants were filled with fear the swarm was beyond their imagination.

"You!" Odin pointed at a space marine and soon appeared in front of him.

Before the space marine could even react Odin and the man appeared near the ship the hatch opened and Odin tossed the man as if he was weightless.

"Ok let's leave now I'm annoyed," Odin(ori) said as he headed for the quarters of the ship.

"Where are we going next though," Odin asked him.

"Anywhere but not here." Odin(ori) said as he closed the door to his room.
