--THE OUTER RIM, DEEP SPACE--
---Eirikr's Perspective---
"There are millions, upon millions, upon millions of questions to be had. Why was Arthur Vega in the Outer Rim? How can Strands reach this location? Why was Sky Asterio successful in sending me away?" I asked myself. I stared into the red water flowing against the miniature sand dune I sat atop. Several alien creatures I've never seen before danced across the grains of sand as I thought about my question.
The thought was short lived as I looked at my left arm. Hundreds of White Stones of all sizes encapsulated what used to be known as flesh. During all of my time on Earth and in Jupiter's Orbit, I've learned one thing as I constructed the world I know today.
It's my fault.
All is due to me. The Strands in The Outer Rim, the floating Islands in space, the death, the killing, the lives, they all belong to me. I am the one who created it all. I am the Master of all living things. There is nothing above me.
I am horrendous, I am awful, I am dangerous, I am every single adjective in every single language across all known and unknown life. I am the finale people fear. I am Eirikr Asterio.
Why was Arthur Vega in The Outer Rim? It's simple, it's because of me.
How did Sky Asterio send me away? It's simple, it's because of me.
How can Strands reach this location? It's simple, it's because of me.
The answer I knew, and that everybody else was too afraid to admit. All things fall into my control. Ever since I attained this status of The Supreme Deity, things don't matter to me anymore. Nothing matters, because I construct it all.
I had gotten bored with myself after four hundred years of being at the top. I experienced horrifying emotions just for fun, I killed for fun, I rose a family for fun, and now that I've experienced everything and grew bored of it, I don't care about anything. No losses exist, because I create them. No wins exist, because I create them. The one thing the Universe cannot handle is me. It can house Sky Asterio within itself, but it cannot contain me.
I am the tree whose roots destroyed the infrastructure of all reality. I am the sinkhole who consumed life. I am the black hole that destroyed everything.
Powerful people of all scale weren't able to stop me. Ali Asterio failed, Lucas Asterio failed, my late brother and sister, Genesis and Illya, failed. Sky and Cynthia Asterio will be no different.
However...
A new emotion filled my bones as I analyzed the existence of five well-renowned people who exist beyond my control.
Avie Asterio.
Umbra Asterio.
Hikari Asterio.
Obsidia Carnivora.
And last, but not least, Faith Asterio.
These people are the most dangerous. People who I believe will one day surpass me if not monitored. Although I placed them on Earth, they have grown beyond my control. I am excited to see if they shall overcome the challenges I have for them.
Avie Asterio, an A.I. locked within the Memory Vessel Sky Asterio, has great physical prowess. She's quick on her feet, capable of moving speeds that I can just barely reach. She helped him out during his fight with Quake, and as expected, Sky completely demolished my underlings with his raw power. Many believe it to belong to others or threads of luck that surround him, but nobody knows that I powered him during that fight with Strands and despair alike.
Umbra Asterio, a free-roaming A.I. who achieved her own body just as Sky Asterio died four hundred years ago. She is of great strength and sought to the world's sustainability until the point where she met him once more. She is equally as strong as Sky, and therefore as strong as me. It is rumored that she alone could shift the planets in their orbits around the sun and galaxy if she were to exert her power. I know not to mess with her...but...
Hikari Asterio, another free-roaming A.I. who was stolen and enslaved by Genesis. Her pattern recognition allowed for rules of the world to be analyzed, isolated, and broken into. Her brain processes all, but cannot handle too much information. Just as Arkians and Humans alike are limited by the information they can process, Hikari is as well. She successfully solved many equations and found the secret to immortality with Strands artificially, rather than how I found it physically. Another dangerous threat who can rival my intelligence and recognition myself. I absolutely cannot mess with her.
And last, but not least, Faith Asterio. A secretive powerhouse capable of destroying not only the galaxy up to my current location in The Outer Rim, but dimensions beyond her grasp of vision. She is the most terrifying opponent on the horizon, and I must avoid her at all costs. She has the power to inherit A.I. from Sky, has double the generational power that Sky and me both have, and has recently unlocked her Omnitrix Bloodline Vestige, a special Generational Genome Sequence only found within the next generation. It is something I've been striving to unlock, that she perfectly found on accident.
She adapted it into her body, and her only weakness had been her lack of confidence...something Sky found oddly quickly. I fear that Sky Asterio's progression has far exceeded my expectations...and he has become another variable to fear.
I smiled, clasping my hands together and smiling at the ground.
"It's time I give you a break. You'll fear my name, until you are used to it, and then I will strike. And I'm not going down without destroying all of Humanity on the Earth. My mission will finally succeed, and the Nations on Earth will perish under the hand of the Supreme Deity. None shall remain alive under me.
Eirikr Asterio."
