The screen behind Professor Carver shimmered, casting shadows on the council's faces as it transformed to showcase six distinct, awe-inspiring figures. Each emanated unparalleled might and authority.
Carver started with a hulking figure resembling a terrifying blend of a polar bear and penguin. "This is Calvo of Florn. Panoras, his species, are technologically advanced carnivores that roam Florn's icy wastelands. Their black and white hues give them a chilling, spectral appearance. Their long teeth are designed not just for hunting, but for fierce territorial disputes. Despite their bestial nature, the Panoras possess a keen intellect. When the Zen approached, Calvo was already a figure of reverence and fear. Bestowed with the Genous of Absence of Heat, he now can sap warmth from entire continents."
The next silhouette was of Agheela of Vimeter. "Her planet, Vimeter, is a land of relentless, violent storms. Agheela's species have bird-like qualities that allow them to navigate these tempests with ease. With her Genous, Agheela doesn't just control storms; she can create and dissipate them at will, making her a force of nature in her own right."
Lord Famus of Auros was showcased next. "Auros, a vast ocean world. Famros, Lord Famus's species, were already the undisputed rulers of their aquatic domain. Endowed with the Genous of Water, he can shape and control vast oceanic forces, summon tsunamis, and even extract moisture from beings."
Then came Ruk of Firma. "The lone species on his planet. Ruk's very existence is a testament to his might. Gigantic and seemingly immovable, Ruk, with the Genous of Matter, can manipulate and reshape any solid substance, including the very land he walks on."
Carver shifted to Herst, a foreboding figure. "From the scorching planet Volk, Herst leads the Rodons, a species known for their resistance to extreme heat. His black scales shimmer, his red eyes pierce the darkness. Gifted with the Genous of Radiation, Herst can emit unimaginably high levels of radiation, generating enough heat to melt anything in his path."
Lastly, the screen showcased a brilliant being that seemed to glow with an internal light. "Luminos of Yuan. This male entity, even among the Six Absolute, is perhaps the most revered. Yuan is a realm of resplendent brightness. Luminos, bearing the Genous of Light, can release blinding beams, manipulate photons in intricate ways, and even bend light around him, rendering himself invisible or creating mirages."
It was a moment before anyone could find their voice. President Obinna finally broke the silence, "Each of these entities alone possesses the capability to decimate entire planets. And the Zen Empire has all six."
Chancellor Werner added, "Their power is unimaginable. How did they get so advanced?"
General Nunez looked concerned, "Each one of them could be a cataclysmic event. All together? They spell the end."
Secretary-General Rosa muttered, "The sheer strength of the Six Absolute, combined with the formidable structure of the Zen Empire, is beyond comprehension."
Professor Carver nodded gravely, "They're not just soldiers; they're forces of nature, each with the potential to reshape worlds."
The room was thick with tension as the leaders continued to discuss and question, seeking solutions for a challenge the likes of which Earth had never seen.
