“We are too late.” Nedrik said as him and all his army teleported outside of Bloodbane’s space lock prison.

The space lock was showing signs of breaking and the layer of the green flame inside was dimming.

The army could even see through it all.

Bloodbane was wounded all over and had trouble catching his breath. A white dragon was taking its time to slowly torture him.

Far behind the dragon, three onlookers were slowly turning around to look at the army that had just arrived.

“Leave them all to me.” Said Devinn as he willed the teleportation ring to come and levitate above his palm.

The other three, even Bloodbane who thought was saved as the situation was bad for him, looked at Devinn puzzlingly.

Was he about to take on the whole army on his own?

Devinn did not even let them finish their thoughts when the ring flashed and Bloodbane disappeared.

He had been teleported inside the ring before he could flee.

Devinn punched once and the space lock and the remnant green fire disappeared.

He appeared in front of the army and faced the King of the myriad races. He proclaimed:

“With Aragil’s power that sees all. There is nowhere in this reality that you can all escape from me.”

Nedrik looked at his future and found nothing that could save his race. He sighed as he saw himself disappearing into the ring and being refined until nothing but endless mana remained of him.

Then the rest of the army followed.

Every living being that was not of the human race disappeared from this reality.

The same happened to the infinite realities in which Devinn was now doing the same thing.

With all the mana accumulated, the pocket dimension inside the ring had grown so big that it could now contain entire universes.

Devinn then teleported every universe that humans inhabited and stored them all inside the ring's pocket dimesion.

Jonas, Alwyn, Lucius, and Devinn were the last humans left behind in all the infinite realities.

Everything was in sync.

He turned around and said: ” Jonas. Lucius. Sorry, but the original plan has changed. I will teleport you all back home. We will see each other when everything is over.”

Before they could protest they were teleported inside their home universe.

“What is happening?” Alwyn asked.

“You will understand the moment you become a Cosmic God.” Devinn said then continued: “We now have enough mana to complete the Cosmic God transformation. We will have to fuse completely this time.”

Devinn then fused with Alwyn’s soul. The interlinked souls became one. Devinn, the strongest, was tempted to take over and obliterate Alwyn but did not do it.

A vertical third eye appeared on Alwyn’s forehead.

Devinn initiated the fusion between soul, body, and mana.

The same was happening inside all of the other realities in which only Alwyn was now the only inhabitant.

As a new powerful body was being created from the fusion of two variant Netherwyrm bloodlines, Aragil’s power, the two souls and mana, the galaxy shuddered.

As the bloodlines and Aragil’s power evolved for one last time, the reality itself was showing signs of collapse.

As the new three eyed humanoid body was being constructed, a new kind of element washed over it.

“The element of time has finally appeared. Well, it had no choice. This new body is more than capable of housing it.” Devinn said.

“Are we being thrown in time like that Markus?” an anxious Alwyn asked. He now shared all of Devinn’s knowledge.

“Yes and no. I will hold it off until we finish the transformation, then we will have the time to make our first jump in time.”Devinn said.

“To kill a true dragon huh… How can we kill something that creates Cosmic gods with just its breath?”Asked Alwyn.

“Can you not see what the evolution of Aragil’s power is doing to all the realities? It is trying to open a breach in all of them. When the transformation is over, we can just fuse with all of our counterparts indefinitely. Aragil is probably doing the same right now. I am sure we will be strong enough to kill a single true dragon.” Devinn confidently said.

The transformation ended.

A breach was opened

As if the infinite versions of Alwyn thought the same thing, they ate all their respective realities leaving the breach alone.

They all headed for the breach that connected them all.

They all fused together.

It took an eternity for the process to end.

All the other copies of the ring were destroyed except for the original one.

The breach became a singularity of its own. It never disappeared.

“We are taking the breach away with us. For everything we do or think about another reality is born. This breach will be the only door to them. As long as we stay inside the breach, nothing will happen. If we leave it, other realities will start appearing.“Devinn said.

“That means that if we teleport in the past before the true dragon arrives, the humans over there will create other realities in which we exist the moment we arrive. This is insane. It will never be over as long as there is a thinking being alive us included.” Alwyn said.

“There is a solution.” Said Devinn. He added: ” We can make a breach big enough to contain a single universe in which all the universes will be confined in. We will have to stay inside forever.”

“Let's take care of the true dragon first." Alwyn said.

Devinn then discovered an anomaly.

“Let’s just let it be. We have another problem.” Said Devinn with a gloomy voice.

“What can possibly happen to us now?” Alwyn asked.

“Sigh… I thought that everything will go according to plan but we became something that even I cannot understand. Aragil’s power evolved even further when the time element arrived. Now we are resonating with something in space and time and something else…It is a headache to understand. When the element of time is fully imbued in us we will be teleported wherever or whenever we are being called. ” Devinn said.

“Are you sure?” Alwyn frantically asked.

“Yes. We have no choice.” Said Devinn.

“Sigh…the new calm life that I wanted. I have not even lived as a proper human yet.” Alwyn was about to cry.

“I am going to transform the breach in a cloak. Like that, we will at least become invisible from the reality we will be teleported to. There won't be any other copies of us in other realities.” A gloomy Devinn said.

Like that, a three-eyed violet man wearing a cloak that distorted the nothingness around him teleported into the unknown against his own will.
