The world of the Octopus Man was far from a lovely place.

Even before life had emerged, when the planet was still a savage wilderness, Pollution had already arrived.

In those fiery, molten magma, Pollution blossomed like flowers, gradually cooling the ceaseless flow.

Thus, the land was born.

Upon the rocks, Pollution did not halt its stride but continued to expand, growing its power in the rainwater.

Lightning provided the energy needed for material transformations, and Pollution circulated within it, as the substance known as "organic matter" was born from the cold primal ocean, going through certain miraculous reactions, and with the first push of Pollution, consciousness was born.

Once consciousness appeared, the spread of Pollution accelerated even more.

Evolution, like a virus, began to spread across the entire planet.

In the cold Stone and the warm sea, under the starry sky, wondrous creatures fermented.
