On a planet teeming with the vibrancy of trees and nature, nestled deep within a forest, lies the enchanting kingdom of elves. 

At this moment, within the confines of a magnificent palace, a sudden noise reverberates through the air. With a resounding bang, the door is forcefully pushed open, revealing a man adorned in leather armor, a bow slung across his back. He strides into the room with remarkable speed, immediately bowing and assuming a silent stance, awaiting the queen's address.

"What is the matter, Elrohir?" inquires a gentle yet authoritative voice, emanating a sense of calm. "M-my Queen, I bring grave tidings. The life statues of Irmo, Arwen, Alrik, and Eion have been shattered. This signifies..." 

"I am well aware of the implications, they have perished," interjects the lady, her face concealed by a white veil, her regal attire adorning her form as she gazes pensively into the distance. "Is there any other news?" She inquired, her tone masking any hint of concern for the loss of her child and the children of the other nobles, making it difficult for others to believe her indifference. 

Without hesitating to withhold any information, Elrohir promptly responded, "Indeed, Your Highness. Shortly after the statues shattered, our galactic warriors reported the emergence of spatial cracks. These cracks have unleashed long-extinct creatures that are now wreaking havoc and attacking any living being they encounter." The Queen remained silent, deep in thought, while Elrohir stood motionless, awaiting her command. Time passed, ten minutes slipping away without a word or a movement from either of them. 

Suddenly, the door swung open, and a warrior clad in leather armor rushed in, his face concealed by a mask of fear. "Your Highness! We require your assistance. A Kraken is approaching, accompanied by countless unknown creatures which we do not know their abilities. We fear that if you do not intervene, they will breach our world defenses and attack us."

Overwhelmed by fear, he spoke hastily, not even finding the time to bow before delivering his urgent message. Upon hearing the urgent message, the queen swiftly rose from her seat, her demeanor shifting from contemplation to one of authority and strength. 

Taking a deep breath, she summoned her royal armor, causing her attire to transform into gleaming golden armor.

She donned a helmet that concealed her face, leaving only her eyes visible."Summon all our warriors and gather a few of our most powerful weapons and artifacts," she commanded with determination. "We must defend our land from this impending threat!" With a wave of her hand, a bow made of bones, adorned with multiple crystals and emitting a shocking aura, materialized in her grasp. Simultaneously, a quiver filled with arrows, each pulsating with strange energies, appeared on her back. The queen's eyes gleamed with determination as she prepared to defend her land from the impending threat. 

:::::****::::: 

In different worlds, elves, vampires, dragons, trolls, titans and so on could be seen defending their lands. With this battle, some races like the Goliath took the chance to openly attack the Titans which further increased the chaos at hand. Not only them, the dark elves attack the nature elves, lycans against vampires and so on. The world descends into chaos. Something that hasn't happened in the past million years suddenly took place. It was all because of a being who died a million years ago, his influence still stays today.

Meanwhile, back on Earth. "Aaaaaaaahhhh." A piercing scream filled the air, causing the vultures and peculiar creatures that were feasting on the decaying bodies to scatter in fear. The sound was so intense that it seemed capable of shattering eardrums. 

Lying amidst the putrid pile of corpses, Morningstar paid no mind to the overwhelming stench. He was too consumed by his own agony, with snorts and tears streaming down his face. The pain he was enduring at that moment far surpassed anything he had ever experienced before. 

His blood boiled within him, bones snapped like twigs, his heart raced faster than the swiftest car, and his brain felt as if it were being pierced by hundreds of needle-like objects. The excruciating pain of this evolution was beyond anything he had ever imagined. 

Kofi stood nearby, filled with anxiety, as he observed Morningstar's anguished screams. He felt utterly lost, unsure of how to alleviate Morningstar's suffering at that moment. _Damn, if this evolution is so painful then I would rather remain a human._ He thought as he scratched his ear, the scream from Morningstar had made him almost go deaf.

 In the meantime, with each passing second, the spirits that Kofi's sword had been absorbing abruptly shift direction and begin entering Morningstar's body. The chilling sensation emanating from them brings a sense of calm to him, accompanied by a surge in the concentration of dark energy swirling around him. It resembles a miniature storm, forcing Kofi to retreat. 

The energy in his body was undergoing a change, his QI got denser and the small orb floating in his dantian increased in size, from a newborn baby fist to that of a three-month-old baby fist. 

In the midst of the chaos, Morningstar unleashes a deafening roar that surpasses any sound he has ever produced. His shirt ripped apart from the force, revealing a gruesome sight as two bones violently burst through his flesh, drenched in blood. But amidst the horror, a miraculous transformation begins to unfold.

The bones crack and reshape themselves, gradually taking on the form of majestic angel wings. 

But instead of pure white or golden, those two wings as wide as 2.7 meters in length were pure black with dark mist still swirling around them. However, instead of being a pristine white or shimmering gold, these wings spanned an impressive 2.7 meters in length and were completely black, with an eerie mist swirling ominously around them. However, right at that moment another shocking event occurred. As quick as a lightening. A spatial crack appears and follows that, everyone, both the mountains of corpses, screaming Morningstar and confused Kofi. It happened so swiftly that none even had the time to react. As soon as everything was swallowed it immediately closed.

"Sigh," a deep voice echoes across the sky. "What bad timing, if only it didn't disappear within a second I would have caught him. Sigh."

Spoiler: The chain necklace detects the Sage and quickly absorbs Morningstar and Kofi which saves them. Right now both are in the dark realm and with the intense energy inside there, most of those corpses will undergo changes and start fighting. During this period Morningstar will learn a lot of things regarding the universe and hint about his identity.
