Millions of years after the creation of the universe, and long after the Big Bang, cosmic beings with unique forms emerged. These beings had no human bodies or defined shapes; each had its own appearance, and while some forms were repeated, they were never identical.

These beings wandered aimlessly through the vast emptiness of space, surrounded by distant stars and scattered asteroids. However, one of these cosmic entities performed an unprecedented act. In a secluded corner of the void, it extended an appendage resembling a human hand, though it had no concrete shape—an unreal, fluctuating, and ethereal form.

When this appendage reached a point in space, something extraordinary occurred: reality was altered. Although the change was subtle, it was unprecedented. The other cosmic beings sensed this minor shift and began to approach the site of the event. They witnessed a star exploding, but not in the usual way. Instead of releasing energy or fading, the star shattered into thousands of pieces.

Each fragment of the star glowed brightly with edges of multiple colors, similar to a lighthouse's light halo but with more intense reds, oranges, yellows, greens, and blues. The star had transformed into a dazzling mosaic of light and color, with each fragment radiating an unreal beauty. The cosmic beings, amazed by this display, realized they had just witnessed the first act of reality manipulation.

One of them, a shape-shifting entity with emerald flashes, reflected: "If this is possible... what else could we do?" The question echoed through the void, sparking anticipation and curiosity among the cosmic beings. They understood this event was not an end but the beginning of something much greater.

Driven by this realization, the cosmic beings began experimenting with their own abilities. Some approached stars, attempting to manipulate their brightness and energy, while others tried to alter asteroid trajectories with simple gestures. They faced failures and minor successes, each attempt filled with hope and frustration.

Eventually, a crystalline and radiant being achieved the unexpected: creating a rift in the void of space. With intense concentration, it extended its translucent arm into the void, and a line of light cut through the darkness, opening in a blinding flash. The rift glowed with an ethereal intensity, defying natural laws. This achievement resonated among all present, leaving them amazed and fascinated.

From that moment on, the cosmic beings manipulated reality with increasing frequency and confidence. News of their achievements spread rapidly through space, marking the beginning of the era of cosmic supremacy. A hierarchy based on the ability to understand and manipulate reality was established. Those with greater skill and understanding rose to the top, revered and envied, while the less capable were relegated to lower positions, striving to catch up.

Before this discovery, the cosmic beings wandered in solitary reflection, with distant stars offering moments of contemplation. Now, they traveled with purpose: to find stars or cosmic objects that would deepen their understanding of reality and advance their position. They faced constant challenges, exploring mysterious nebulae, navigating asteroid fields, and traversing solar winds, each step an attempt to uncover cosmic secrets.

One such being, made of smoke and lightning, ventured near a quasar, attempting to comprehend and manipulate its immense energy. With great effort, it deflected a fraction of the quasar's radiation, creating a rainbow of cosmic light stretching across light-years. Others journeyed into dark nebulae, shaping stellar matter into complex, beautiful forms.

In this endless quest, some ascended to the highest levels of the hierarchy, demonstrating incredible understanding and power. Their feats became legends, inspiring others. A liquid-crystal being managed to halt a supernova's expansion, containing it in a luminous sphere that illuminated the galaxy with a soft, steady light. Meanwhile, others remained stagnant, their failed attempts becoming cautionary tales for the ambitious.

This new order ushered in an era of unprecedented competition and growth. The universe became a testing ground where each cosmic being sought to reach new heights and explore their potential. The era of cosmic supremacy was in full swing, marking a significant shift in the universe's history. Now aware of their power and responsibility, the cosmic beings embarked on an epic journey, each discovery opening doors to unimaginable possibilities. They navigated cosmic energy currents, manipulated dark matter and dark energy, and challenged the laws of time and space in their tireless quest for supremacy.

In the vast and endless void of the universe, cosmic beings continued to explore their newly discovered abilities. Without a guide or manual, they ventured into the expanse of space, each tracing their own path in search of answers and knowledge. Curiosity drove them, and the vastness of the cosmos offered infinite possibilities.

Some of these beings, with forms that seemed to constantly change under the light of distant stars, focused on understanding the invisible currents of energy flowing through space. They observed how these currents could be altered with a simple thought, creating energy whirlpools that resonated as silent echoes through the darkness. These echoes turned into cosmic melodies, a symphony only they could perceive.

Others approached nebulae, those colorful clouds of gas and dust. With care and delicacy, they shaped stellar particles into complex forms, as if they were sculptors of the universe. The nebulae transformed into stunning works of art that shone brightly, filling space with a glow visible across entire galaxies. Though ephemeral, these creations showcased the cosmic beings' ability to shape beauty from chaos.

Among the stars, groups of cosmic beings gathered to share their experiences and discoveries. Without verbal language, they communicated through thoughts and images, exchanging ideas and theories about the nature of reality. These meetings were gatherings of brilliant minds, where each being contributed its unique perspective, enriching the collective understanding.

Meanwhile, other cosmic explorers ventured further, to the edges of the observable universe. There, at the boundaries of known reality, they encountered even stranger phenomena: dark energy fields that defied comprehension and intense gravity zones that twisted the fabric of space. With each new discovery, the cosmic beings felt more connected to the universe and more aware of their own potential.

Although not everyone could unravel the secrets of the cosmos, each attempt contributed to a shared knowledge that transcended individuals. The evolution of their abilities was not a straight or uniform path, but the diversity of approaches and perspectives ensured progress continued.

As the cosmic beings explored and experimented, the universe itself seemed to change. Stars shone with renewed intensity, and galaxies spun in more complex patterns. Reality manipulation, though subtle, left its mark on the cosmos, a constant reminder of these beings' impact on the fabric of the universe.

In time, these acts of exploration and understanding became an integral part of the cosmic beings' existence. And so, in their endless quest, each being became an essential fragment of a constantly evolving reality.

However, millions of years after that event, the cosmic beings no longer felt the same excitement about becoming leaders of the hierarchy. This was because the current leader possessed such an advanced understanding of reality that the gap between them and the others was immense. Curiously, this leader had started from the very bottom of the hierarchy.

In their early days, this cosmic being was ridiculed by those at the top of the supremacy ladder. Its form, although closer to that of a human (even though humans did not exist at that time), seemed unusual and provoked disdain from other beings. Nevertheless, its curiosity and perseverance led it to challenge the limits of what was thought possible.

During its explorations, the cosmic being observed a black hole with unusual fascination. It approached it with a calm concentration that contradicted the fear these phenomena evoked in others. With slow and deliberate movements, it extended its hands, one over the other, leaving a space between them. As it did, its focus and concentration seemed to create a unique connection with the black hole.

Incredibly, the black hole began to respond to its manipulation. Instead of absorbing the cosmic being, as had happened with so many others, the dark mass shifted into the space between its palms. It was as if the space between its hands had become another black hole, one it could control.

This act of manipulating a black hole, a feat that had terrified cosmic beings for eons, changed everything. Those who had previously ridiculed it were astonished. Not only had it achieved the impossible, but it had done so with an elegance and skill that revealed a profound understanding of reality itself.

From being one of the lowest beings in the hierarchy, it ascended to a position of recognition and admiration. Its ability to absorb a black hole between its palms became a symbol of its power and command over reality. Supremacy was no longer based solely on brute strength, but on ingenuity and the ability to understand and transform the impossible.

However, the current leader of the hierarchy, an imposing and powerful being, felt threatened by this new development. Witnessing the impressive act of the cosmic being, it attempted to reassert its supremacy by creating a rift in its rival's body, intending to break its reality.

Unfazed, the cosmic being placed its palms together again, one facing upward and the other downward, leaving a space between them. In an act of absolute control, it absorbed the leader's attack into the space of its hands. The leader began to be drawn into this core, its body sliding inexorably toward the void between the cosmic being's palms.

The other cosmic beings, witnessing this scene, were filled with terror. Fear gripped them as they saw their leader, once an imposing and untouchable figure, being reduced to an energy core in the hands of someone they had previously despised. This act was a clear demonstration of the overwhelming power the cosmic being had achieved, capable of manipulating reality in all its forms, from exploding stars to creating rifts in the void.

As the leader's figure disappeared, an overwhelming silence spread across the cosmos. The cosmic beings, aware of the magnitude of the power they had witnessed, wondered what the universe would become under this new reality paradigm. Fear and admiration mixed within them, marking a profound change in their perception of power.

With the leader absorbed and the new leader's power resonating through the cosmos, the cosmic hierarchy transformed. While some sought to hide in the darkest corners of the universe, others began to contemplate new possibilities, inspired and fearful at the same time.

And so, as the universe continued its expansion, the echoes of this change endured. The cosmos, now more vibrant and dynamic, was marked by the influence of the cosmic beings, setting the stage for a new era.

Soon, in a corner of the universe, a planet known as Earth would become the setting for a different story. Human beings, some of whom would possess abilities similar to the cosmic beings, would begin to explore their own destinies, intertwining their fate with those who had shaped the stars.
