High Above Earth

Tar finds himself wryly smiling as he watches Scarlet practice her magic in space right outside of the planet. As she sometimes forms entire oceans worth of blood before making it disappear again. Creates living creatures that often die right away due to one reason or another, whether being in space or not being created correctly. And even creating exact copies of both herself and others in space, with the copies of others dying rather quickly and lacking any sort of intelligence due to not having a reality attached to them.

He watches her fail over and over and over again at everything she tries until she succeeds and moves on to the next area. But eventually, he moves on to some business he needs to handle.

First he teleports straight from Earth to Tartarus, appearing in front of King Arkaz of the Demons. And for a moment, he feels a little surprised by the fact that the Demon King doesn’t appear surprised by his sudden appearance himself. Until he realizes that he’s probably used to Tar’s father appearing out of nowhere already.

The various high ranking demon nobles within the throne room are a different question, however, and react with surprise at his appearance.

Tar ignores them though, focusing on Arkaz as the Demon King raises his hand, saying, “We will take a pause in our meeting now. Return when called upon.”

All of the nobles immediately regain their composure and bow before vanishing from the throne room in seconds. No doubt reappearing elsewhere in the castle to discuss business of their own amongst themselves.

“Now what is it, new King of the Fae?” Arkaz asks while leaning his head against his fist, his elbow resting on the arm rest of his throne as he calmly stares at Tar.

“I wanted to warn you, King of the Demons,” Tar says, his voice reverberating throughout the throne room as his artificial form grows into that of a large tanuki. One spanning a few meters in length. “With the reality of the universe growing damaged, we aren’t certain when exactly the Voided Overlord will begin breaking the border further and letting more void creatures into our universe. But the prophecy previously declared it to happen within the next week.”

Arkaz’s eyes narrow slightly at that, but he doesn’t say anything in response.

“You will need to defend Tartarus and other worlds while Scarlet grows used to her new power,” Tar declares, getting straight to the point as his gaze locks directly with the Demon King’s own.

Silence fills the throne room for several seconds. Until it’s broken by a chuckle coming from the Demon King before he says, “Looks like you’re growing into your role if you’re giving me orders.” The man shakes his head a little, a faint smile on his face. “Good. Scarlet deserved a better fae partner than you previously have been to her. It’s about time you grow up.” Arkaz nods to the side. “Your father agrees with me.”

“Your answer?” Tar asks, ignoring everything the Demon King just said as he focuses on his current mission.

Arkaz raises one brow, but he answers positively despite his reaction, “Very well, King of the Fae. Do tell my lovely granddaughter not to rush in her adjustment period. We wouldn’t want to lose Earth or Tartarus after all.”

True.

Tar just nods his head without saying anything. But right when he’s about go to his next destination, a loud cracking sound echoes across the air.

Both Tar and the Demon King rush outside before looking up at the sky and finding small cracks stretching across the sky. Cracks that are glowing with a crimson light, revealing a pitch black darkness beyond the light.

“Fae King, I think this warning was a little bit too close,” King Arkaz comments as the two look up at the cracks, both realizing exactly what’s going on.

That was faster than I expected…

Tar grits his teeth before closing his eyes and using his privileges over the System to search across the entire universe, starting with the location where the Voided Overlord has been trying to break into the universe. And he quickly finds the source of this new change.

The Voided Overlord has managed to get a single claw inside of the universe. A claw that is radiating out pure void magic and tearing everything around it apart while flooding more and more void creatures by the second into the universe.

Not good at all.

From what he can see, the Voided Overlord is attempting to move more through the rift into the universe, but it’s not doing very well in that. All it’s ending up doing is sending ripples throughout the universe as it struggles to get through. Which is what’s causing the rifts currently appearing everywhere. Rifts that are far too small for the Voided Overlord to ever hope to fit through.

Tar watches as Class V void creatures quickly begin to overwhelm every world anywhere nearby the rifts, slaughtering millions by the minute.

He opens his eyes and focuses on the Demon King while saying, “The Voided Overlord managed to get a claw into the universe and it’s causing ripples in the universe’s external membrane.”

The Demon King grits his teeth at that, but nods his head as he says, “Guess my job is starting earlier than we expected.”

Tar nods his head back before closing his eyes again and refocusing on Earth, where he notices Scarlet narrowing her eyes in the direction of the Voided Overlord. As if she can sense what is going on just like he can.

The power of a Class VI indeed…

He watches her for a few seconds, finding her frowning before she returns to her practicing, then he opens his eyes and turns to the Demon King as he says, “Good luck.”

And without saying anything else, he teleports back to Earth again while shrinking his size. Since the Demon King can still teleport around the universe using Tar’s father’s privileges. Privileges that aren’t simply revoked from handing down the throne.

This is going to be a difficult next few weeks.
