After ending his call with Arexander, Admiral Wilcock left his office at the top of Astraeus tower, taking the Teleportation lift down to the bottom. He came out of the lift, heading to the only door down there. There were two guards stationed by the walls, both of them at the High stage of the Supreme rank. He could feel their gaze upon him and their acknowledgment of him. Normally, as an Admiral, they should have bowed before him but neither of them did because neither was part of Starlight. No, these two Warriors were members of the same clan as the person that Admiral Wilcock was about to visit. The door to the room opened, and the Admiral entered, glancing at the darkness in the room that was held back by the faint traces of light from the candles sprinkled around the room. And in the middle of the room, levitating in a lotus position underneath a pentagram, was a woman. A woman in her twenties, with an eerie beauty, a tan skin that seemed to have been kissed by the sun. Her blonde hair flowed wildly due to the maelstrom of divine power that was swirling around her. Thanks to the pentagram's protection, none of the divine power spread through the tower, but as a Transcendent being, the Admiral could sense the powerful energy that felt like it could devour the entire base. Surrounding the woman were runes spun out of golden threads, each of these runes flowing around her in a sphere-like formation. After a while, when the woman felt the Admiral's presence, the divine power began to rescind itself back into the depths of her soul and in time, it disappeared, leaving behind just a trace of its presence. The woman's body gently returned to the floor, and her cold blue eyes opened to see the Admiral before her.
"Looks like Rex was successful," Admiral Wilcock said. "Though he left a little bit of a mess in there," The Admiral had sensed the presence of death within the facility but also the lives that he had spared. The woman chuckled, her eyes flashed with a wicked grin as she got up from the floor.
"I told you that boy wasn't fitted for espionage," Julia Haravok said. "It's a miracle he managed to hang in there for so long,"
"Hmm! It's not like I wanted him involved in it in the first place," The Admiral said. Admiral Wilcock never wanted Rex to join the Yeager crop Division that he had formed. "The one I wanted was taken from me by your damn son." Julia chuckled even more as she thought about the dark-skinned beauty who always accompanied her son.
"Do you think it was wise making Pendragon expose himself so soon," Admiral Wilcock asked. The whole point of hiding Rex's status as a Hunting dog was so it would be possible for him to fit in with Sector Zero.
"Yes, it was about time to take him away from Sector Zero," Julia said. "That bastard Mallus was already suspecting a traitor within his organization."
"We could have pointed him towards the other traitor within Sector Zero," Admiral Wilcock said.
"No, let the Herald keep her toy," Julia said. She opened her right palm as golden threads formed within it, each thread connecting to her fingers. Her eyes turned golden for a second, her pupils taking the shape of a yellow dwarf star, processing all the information she could read within the thread. Right now, Julia was observing the threads of fate, seeing various possibilities of what the future held, and also observing the ever-changing present. Admiral Wilcock watched as she observed the flow of fate. Even though the Admiral had known Julia for more than two decades, he still wasn't used to the idea of a human possessing such power. Even the various Oracles of the Divine Pantheons of gods across the known universe did not have as much influence over the concept of fate as Julia did. So the fact that she was using this ritual at this moment meant something drastic was happening. He glanced at the Pentagram circle on the floor.
"The event of Cedar Lake was never meant to happen," Julia said as her eyes turned back to its cold blue. The things she had seen long ago had changed with just the incident that the Beast King had caused. "It changes things. The future rewritten once again."
"Many things were never meant to happen," Admiral Wilcock said. "The presence of Abominations in Terra, Leon's actions in Lamentias, and then there is Meridian who is in Litvain. I still haven't heard from her yet."
"That girl should be able to handle things by herself," Julia said. She wasn't worried about the things she had seen in that part of the galaxy. The Admiral was right though. The flow of fate was fluctuating wildly, the timeline constantly changing. And from what Julia knew, all this changes, all these fluctuations stemmed from one change towards the natural flow of fate. Julia had always known there would be far reaching consequences from it, but she hadn't cared. Only one thing mattered in this Universe to her right now. Only one person. Her only son. She gritted her teeth, knowing the time was coming. The fate she had always dreaded was arriving, and Julia only hoped that whatever Jonathan and the Fallen had done nineteen years ago would finally pay off.

Somewhere in the vast region of space
Divine Federation
Amidst the clusters of thousands of asteroids floating in the vast darkness of space, a tower was on top of the biggest rock that was as large as an Island. The tower comprised the most powerful metal in the universe; godsteel. Waves of divinity flowed out of it, stirring the Cosmic energy of the Odyllic. Outside of the tower, in a distant place on the rock, was a dock full of transport ships. Ships used by people to come to the temple during their pilgrimage. One could see rows of thousands of people marching towards the tower which also serves as a temple, a temple that belonged to the Annunaki religion, one of the most powerful religions in the Divine Federation. A religion that worships the Divine Emperor, ruler of the Divine plane and the Physical plane. As one enters the Temple, one can see a tapestry filled with stories of ancient battles, cosmic origin, and primordial adventures. The inside of the Temple was luxurious, to say the least, white flames were cast around showcasing various statues of gods that belonged to the Annunaki religion, each containing their own stories and myths. The smell of incense wafted around the temple, the aroma able to induce the feeling of euphoria as the people inside prayed for whatever it was that was in their hearts. On the upper floor of the temple, where no one was allowed to go, one would see a man dressed in a tight black battle suit with a black cloak, his face covered by a bullhorned mask bowing in front of eleven thrones. Each of those thrones was made up of godsteel, and sitting on the thrones were golden skeletons. These skeletons were not ordinary skeletons as the flow of Odic energy around them twisted and churned like a whirlpool in an ocean during a storm while a powerful presence radiated from the marrow of the bone. Among the thrones was the biggest throne that floated above the eleven, with the skeleton adorned with a white garment, and a black crown imbed with gemstones of all kinds. But the one with the most powerful presence was the skeleton in the middle throne below the bigger throne. And was the one that Mallus paid attention to.
"The cleansing has been sanctioned, and the vessel has been sent towards the planet," Mallus said.
"And what of the girl? The Asha'Yee," the cold voice responded. Mallus felt a pressure descend upon him, making him shiver. He squeezed his fist in anger as he thought of the message he had gotten.
"It seems she's still alive," Mallus said. Mallus couldn't believe that Sinutu and Aniuntium had been killed by a brat who had just recently awakened. He refused to believe that she had anything to do with their deaths. If anything he would put it on either the Haravok boy or the Yesh family.
"The time for the Advent is nearly close, and soon the Twilight shall occur, and our masters will begin their divine games," the voice said. "Before all that is to occur, we must clean the rest of the universe of the filth and anything standing in our way. That Includes Samantha Mccoy." The pressure against Mallus increased at the mention of Sam's name, making Mallus grit his teeth in response to the pressure.
"It shall be done," Mallus said. Seconds passed by and the pressure began to rescind which told Mallus he was free to go. Turning his back to the thrones in a sign of respect, a black hole appeared. Mallus entered the hole returning to his citadel in his main office where several screens of monitors were. Mallus sat on his chair that faced the monitors, his anger boiling over. The monitors were connected to several observers that he had discreetly placed over different planets. It allowed him to observe potential threats and some of his enemies. Though there were some places he couldn't see. As Mallus watched the events transpiring over the various galaxies where his Observers were placed, he observed the state of the universe. The universe was in a state of constant warring that saw various Galactical territories trying to gain more power and influence. And the only thing stopping them from plunging the Universe into true chaos was the Divine Federation. Which was why Mallus knew that Samantha Mccoy must die for the sake of peace. Sinutu and Aniuntium had failed, but the Beast King should be able to get the job done. Mallus was glad with the result of what happened in Cedar Lake. And now that he had the justification for authorizing a Cleansing. Mallus wasn't going to waste this chance.
