Punisher, a supreme being tasked with delivering judgments and executions to the world, was taking his usual respite in his realm.
Rest was a necessary aspect of his role; after dispensing judgments upon the gods or other life forms, he would slumber for a couple of years before returning to his work.
In this void of emptiness, where nothingness reigned supreme, the Punisher floated in a state of deep slumber.
Yet, even in his restful state, he remained alert to the energy that coursed through the world. Thus, when a potent force surged into existence, it was impossible for him to ignore.
Instantly roused from his slumber, the Punisher's eyes opened to a swirl of power and energy.
He peered into the vast void that surrounded him, and with his gaze, he discerned the source of the disturbance.
The energy originated from a being, one whose power far surpassed his and one that he was all too familiar with.
