The world was never the same after that day.

Humanity learned that they weren't alone in the universe, but that wasn't something they had the time to worry about.

Their realization was accompanied by catastrophe.

Creatures beyond their wildest imaginations poured down from the sky and appeared from the earth. They slaughtered humans as if it was their singular purpose, driving them to the brink of extinction.

The people of the world did everything in their power, developing unique traits and technologies to create a united front their enemies couldn't penetrate. 

They secured victories and repopulated, feeling as if they stood a chance against the foreign invaders. 

They fought and they fought, doing everything they possibly could to ensure their survival.

Until the Great Calamities appeared. 

In front of them, humanity was nothing regardless of its efforts.

One by one, the worlds were turned into piles of rubble in between the cracks of their teeth. Civilization was torn apart, and the evolved humans living within could do nothing to stop its collapse. 

Humanity itself was left extinct, and in the end, only a single man was left alive amidst the chaos. 

Why?

For what reason were they punished so? 

Nobody knew why the attacks began in the first place.

He looked into the distance at the memories of the past and firmed his resolve. 

“It can only be me.”

He knew of a miracle that could return him to the place of those memories.

He knew of a way to make the wheels of time spin in reverse. 

And using it, he alone would save humanity from its doomed fate. 

That was his sacred duty as its final survivor.

The squelching only went on for a couple seconds, but it was the combined sound of the thousand spikes impaling the flesh at the same time.

It was not appealing in the slightest.

The ground team that scattered on purpose to lull Yhien into a false sense of security gathered again around the dark mold.

"Are you detecting vital signs?"

Gio's voice came through the comms, and Natalia was quick to confirm with him.

Her tone was cold, but the news was good. Gio smiled as he watched her remove her power from the world, unveiling the monster's corpse.

There stood Yhien, except its somewhat majestic and terrifying form had been completely ruined. There were holes in its flesh and blood matted its feathers and fur. It stood for a moment when the darkness disappeared, but it was quick to crumple over and fall.

Raymond approached the corpse with a satisfied expression.
