In ancient times, terrible monsters, owners of colossal strength and incredible abilities, ruled everything. All of them differed among themselves in their nature, form and habitat. Some of them were intelligent, while others lived only by instinct, but they all had one thing in common, the boundless power of their eternal master, the master of life, Inmir.
Inmir was the one who ruled over everything, and there were no fools in the world who wanted to fight him. His strength had no limit, and his wisdom was glorified through the ages.
And then one day, the great master of this world, with the help of his all-seeing eye, foresaw a terrifying catastrophe.
The two suns that illuminated the world were to collide and the small one would be swallowed up by the larger one. But this process will be accompanied by radiation of immeasurable strength, which will wipe out all life from the face of the planet for many millions of years.
Inmir, who, like a father, loved his subjects, could not sit idly by. He gathered all the most worthy at his feet, and declared that he would save his children from a terrible fate and create an impenetrable barrier deep underground that would withstand all adversity.
All as one bowed to the great Lord, and by his order they created a whole country, deep underground, in the endless caves of the night.
And when the evil hour came, the unsurpassed ruler stopped the movement of vital energy in the bodies of all those present, and they all fell into deep suspended animation in order to revive again after many millions of years.
Chapter first.
At level 77, in the personal quarters of the Master of Life, his titanic body lay motionless. For two million years, it continuously maintained an impenetrable barrier over the underground country, simultaneously controlling the suspended animation of a huge number of monsters. And finally, the day came when all of the above was no longer needed and the ancient creature opened its eyes.
Unlike many, he didn't have to turn his head or move his eyeballs to look around. Inmir's eyes were unique and could see through any object, covering the entire spectrum of the environment.
"I can feel the life force emanating from the surface, which means the planet has fully recovered. Hmm... That's good, I wouldn't want my subjects to live in an inferior natural environment. In addition, if I released such a large biomass onto the fragile eco-structure of a resurgent planet, the balance of living nature could be shaken or completely collapsed, and this is not desirable."
The titanic body of the ancient creature tried to move.
"Looks like I'm exhausted too much, I need time to recover. Then…"
"[Life Creation.]" A beam of energy fell from the giant's body, and a human-like organism appeared in that place.
Inmir closed his eyes, and at the same moment opened them in the same body that he had just created.
"Yes, it will be much more convenient. I have already given the order to my "strength" so that suspended animation sleeps with my children, but I think it will take time for them to get used to their bodies that have been in hibernation for so long. Therefore, I will call only one.
- Come to my call Kaisar, king of the fallen!
* * *
The call of the Sovereign was heard, and the mighty leader of the fallen was set in motion.
Waving his huge wings, as if woven from darkness, the monster, which has a pair of horns on its head and a humanoid body with completely absent legs, in place of which a dark plume of flesh emanated from the pelvis, soared to the roof of the cave, in which it had hitherto been in suspended animation, like all of its army.
With an emotionless face, Kaisar, in whose empty eye sockets a small bright red light was burning, examined his possessions, carefully watching whether all his subjects had come to their senses and whether there were those who needed help.
Realizing that there was nothing to worry about, the king of the fallen turned around and immediately went to the lord waiting for him in the throne room.
* * *
As Kaisar expected, in the throne room, the lord, dressed in human flesh, was waiting for him, whose human body had no clothes and sat on a throne chair sprouting directly from a monster-tree, the trunk of which was covered with skulls ingrown into it, and below, at its base, it was drowned in blood.
The king of the fallen knew this tree well, the living roots of which, wrapping around the whole room, looked like predatory monsters, with their paws and jaws.
— About the one for whom the world exists, about the one for whom we all live, accept my humble bow, — Kaisar, levitating in the air, bowed.
- I'm glad to see you again, Kaisar, are you feeling well? Is everything okay with your subordinates? asked the man seated on the throne, whose body and pair of horns seemed to be made of white marble.
"All is well, my Lord, it could not be otherwise, because your strength has protected us all this time. Please accept my deepest gratitude, O one in whom all the life of the world flows.
"If so, then I have a job for you," he extended his hand a little to the side, and feeling it, one of the branches of the tree standing behind him gave him a glass of blood.
"I will do your will, no matter what the cost, sir."
"Excellent," Vladyka smiled, "now my true body is exhausted and needs rest, so I will put the task of exploring and populating this new world on your shoulders, my children. As far as I can feel, solar radiation has returned to normal and no longer poses a danger to us, and besides, the planet is full of life. From which we can conclude that not only we were able to hide and survive. Therefore, we should study this new flora and fauna, and then, following the most reasonable path, re-build our great empire in which we all will be healthy and prosperous.
"I will do your will, my unsurpassed master. If necessary, the world itself will fall at your feet.
"First, send your shadows to scout, then report to me everything they find, and before that, you are free.
"I obey and obey," Kaisar bowed again.
