GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?



It is unlikely that any being in the void universe can reach these depths. Even the Apex entities of the void universe will not be able to go further. But anyone who manages to survive and push forward will find that there is nothing at the base of this ocean apart from a barrier and a pillar. 

It is not a disappointing sight at all even though it is questionable if any being in the void universe can see or hear anything here. Their senses will surely be still functional if they can survive this depth. But their surroundings will be too chaotic to make sense of. There is nothing to perceive that can be understood except the pillar. 

The pillar stands out in this world of incoherent nonsense. It seems to pierce the barrier at the bottom of the ocean. The pillar is far larger and taller than 10 realm trees stacked on top of each other. But its size is the least awesome thing about the pillar. There are golden, red, and blue runes written all over this pillar. The runes shimmer and gleam dangerously. 

The pillar is not smooth. It is rough as if made of rocks or bricks stacked together. The black solid matter that is the bottom of the ocean gushes out from the seams in the pillar. This highly corrosive matter is also wearing away at the pillar. 

So the pillar is weakening steadily but it will take at least an eon for significant damage to be done to the pillar. That means the void universe will end before the pillar is damaged by the black matter that can destroy everything and everyone within the void universe.

The pillar is good and all but we are not here just to see a pillar at the bottom/center of the void universe. We are here because Aeternus triggered something when he detached his plane from the abyss. Actually, Aeternus has been sending triggers down to this pillar every time he comes in contact with the energy sea of his abyss. 

Each time he exits and enters the energy sea, his chaos energy reacts with the energy sea in an imperceptible manner. It is a tiny and undetectable reaction but it is by no means inconsequential. These triggers travel down from the energy sea of his abyss to this ocean and down to this pillar where it is transmitted to a certain location. 

Now where is this location that it is being transmitted to? It would have been irrelevant if Aeternus had not detached his plane from the abyss. Detaching his plane created a massive reaction in the energy sea and the abyss. A roar was created as his plane was sundered from the tributary of the energy sea attached to it. It was a massive and highly significant trigger that was sent down to this pillar and to the location. 

Now this location is difficult to explain. The physics is strange because time and space are warped in this location. Time and space might not even exist there. But one thing is certain, this location is outside the void universe.

-------

In a location outside the void universe is dark gloom. It is a darkness and it is nothingness. There is nothing because nothing can exist. All is ANNIHILATED. Nothing should exist in the presence of ANNIHILATION. Anything in the presence of ANNIHILATION will eventually become nothingness. It is just a matter of time. ANNIHILATION above all else is absolute here. But there is a being here. 

This being is darkness itself. It is not distinguishable from the nothingness of its surroundings. It is impossible to tell where this being ends and where the nothingness begins. All is nothingness and darkness. 

If not for the chains binding this being then you wouldn't know that anything exists here. Even so, it looks like the chains are binding emptiness.

This being is bound with chains. The chains are numerous. They are white in stark contrast to the entity and bind the entity into a tight ball. These chains are stuck onto the entity with several spikes. The entire setup looks like a black ball bounded by glowing white chains in a black room. All you will see are the chains and the special spikes that keep the chains on the ball.

These spikes are a sight to see. They have golden, red, and blue runes written on them. These runes shimmer and gleam dangerously. The spikes themselves are not smooth. There are seams and crevices on their surface. It is as if they were created by stacking rocks. 

There is also something peculiar about these spikes. There are small circular objects at the base of the spikes. These small circular objects are flexible materials. Each one of them has many colors. But all of them have one spike going through them. 

The spikes pass through the small circular objects which then press on the chains. It is as if the circular objects are used to keep the chains from moving and rattling. 

But that isn't the only purpose of the circular objects. The spikes shimmer. They siphon the blood of this entity each time they shimmer. This is done to weaken this being and prevent it from recovering. The blood is then deposited into these circular objects. 

It will not be odd if these circular objects are far larger within than what they look like from the outside. How else are they able to store the large amount of blood siphoned from this entity? After all, it would be an understatement to say that this entity is larger than a universe. 

This being is a very large entity but it is bound up pretty tightly by what appears to be a much larger apparatus. One might say it is imprisoned. It is almost impossible to say how long this being has been imprisoned for. It is also very difficult to say how long this imprisonment will last. Time doesn't work in a linear manner here and space is not 3-dimensional. But one thing is sure, this being will escape one day.
