Chaos Throughout The Galaxy

"The living realm of this universe is ruled by five races...

The weakest of the lot is the Cyborg race, which rules over this universe's west side. The fourth and third strongest races that rule the north side is the Demon and Angel race who constantly fight each other in that region. Then there are the rulers of the east side of the universe, who are the Space Beast Federation. Finally, the Humans who are known as the strongest race, rule over the southern region of the universe, and it's also the location which we are situated in..."

These words echoed in Saber's mind as he sat inside a dark room. With his eyes closed, he then said... "Don't stop, continue." He said while gesturing for his counterpart to speak once more.

"Each region of the universe is filled with many, many galaxies filled with many, many different kinds of species of a race. Simply because a race rule over a certain region doesn't mean that there aren't any other races in the said region.

For example, some of the humans serving under us have humanoid bodies for the most part, yet there are distinct differences such as, maybe, green or golden skin, or animalistic features.

These races are most probably the assimilation of two different bloodlines of different races. And even though I say that it's normal for non-humans to be present in this human region, in most cases, unless they are incredibly strong, those who lack full human features are normally ostracized by the so-called 'pure blood humans'.

Anyway, this is also where our current situation has become troublesome. There is word going around in one of the stronger planets that I had landed on... Somewhere in the galaxy, there was a few Solar Systems that were obliterated by people of other races...

Because of this, many things have changed, and something that would halt our progression in conquering the universe has appeared. Yet, even though I say it'll halt our progression, it doesn't mean that it'll harm us.

Even though our speed in subjugating this universe might take longer, if we play our cards correctly in the event which will be taking place in exactly a decade or so, the road to ruling this entire universe would be infinitely times safer."

The voice of a previously female Saber echoed inside this dark place as the eyes of Second flickered with an unknown light. The conversation between both Saber and Saber continued for an extended period as they created multiple plans for the foreseeable future...

(A Few Days Ago)

"You know, when I said that we should eliminate all of the races that aren't humans who reside in the galaxy, all of you said I was too ruthless. Now, do anyone of you think I'm being ruthless...?"

The angered female voice of a figure shrouded in darkness echoed throughout the room. It was unknown how large the room was, and the room was lit up in multiple different colors. The location where the voice came from was the only place in the room that held nothing but absolute darkness...!

Hmph!

"You simply want to cause another one of your bloodbaths so you can deeper your comprehension in the element of darkness...!"

Another female voice echoed in the room. This time though, opposite to the voice which originated from darkness, this voice came from the brightest of lights in the room. It was a bright white light in a humanoid form, sitting on a throne.

All other figures who were glowing with light also sat on thrones as they sat around the round table which was decorated with intricate patterns.

"But, I do agree that we must do something about this farce. With those Demons who exit from the gates of hell coming into our galaxy to cause chaos, I think a war would soon erupt. If we also enter such a war, catastrophe would be inevitable. "

A voice originating from a golden light that gave one a feeling of holiness then echoed throughout the room. His voice caused the duo of light and dark who were about to begin squabbling with one another, to immediately stop.

"Yes, he is right. If a war begins, and beings with our strength enter many humans who we swore to protect would die. But most importantly, the ones who would be our future, and possibly some incredible geniuses, would also die..."

This time, the voice came from a humanoid figure of red-colored light. This light, contrary to the one of the golden humanoid light, is something that could cause any normal person to feel a type of unholiness and dread.

Now, out of the five figures of light, four had spoken their opinions as they all turned their humanoid head toward the figure who had not spoken once. It was a figure who was surrounded by an almost transparent grey light. And even though it was semi-transparent, one was still unable to see any features of the figure who was inside the light.

"Hmm, what you speak is correct.

The solution is rather simple.

We simply prioritize the geniuses over the common people."

THRUM!!

His words which were casually spoken shocked every entity present! They all had a fair idea of what was meant when this entity spoke, but they still didn't truly think that what they thought this entity meant, was actually what he meant. Yet, as if to prove their instincts correct.

"Yes, I mean, the Rising Star tournament which will normally take place every millennium, should take place sooner. Since this galaxy would most likely face a grand war with the demons who have infiltrated it, we will carry out the tournament in a mere decade.

Each region of the galaxy under your rule would see to it that the information enters the ears of every lifeform in every Solar System. Even if the demons get word of it, they would be unable to do anything since as of now, I'm sure they don't want the attention from those of the HQ...!"

His words resounded in the mind of every entity present as they were left shocked by them. With these measures in place, after finding the geniuses, they were sure that their leader would then wage war on the demons...

All the innocent humans who weren't geniuses would surely be harmed!!!

The news of the Rising Stars Competition taking place in a mere decade caused shock throughout the galaxy as all were left speechless by the choices of the rulers. But, when the word of the obliterated Solar Systems entered the ears of the entities throughout the Milky Way Galaxy, they were then understanding of the situation and the true intention of the rulers.

Many secret families and mysterious clans now found themselves scrambling for resources. After all, if their family or clan was able to nurture a genius or two who would be able to do well in the upcoming competition, wouldn't they be safe in the predicted war?!

All the hidden dragons and slouching tigers realized that in this decade to come, their time to shine was approaching. Battles and bloodshed would take place, as everyone would fight for special treasures which could propel their cultivation to higher levels.

Well, almost everyone, since there were those few who were already confident in their strength and the even fewer who had the confidence to raise their strength without the need for treasures in but a mere decade.

One of these figures... Saber The Second!
