"Those people are throwing platoons per platoon every time when we just finished killing the last platoon instead of forcing us to get overwhelmed using their military might. This is really weird, Mobius. What do you think we should do in this situation for me? This is weird" Alaya said as she looked at the hologram of the world. As he looked at the incoming enemy's red dots in the hologram while explosions could be heard from outside, Mobius looked at the hologram in front of Alaya.
"They might have noticed. That's why they did not try to overwhelm us with numbers. At least she's not on the planet anymore" Mobius said as she remembered them entering the Mobius Tower and reached the conclusion that she had already partially recovered from the dart, although she was not fully recovered. She could still fight all of them quite easily. Unless the white-haired woman also enters the fight, she might lose.
"Who's not on the planet?" Alaya asked Mobius. Who is this woman who seems to make Mobius worry about whether she's on the planet?
"Someone I knew in the past had nothing to worry about that much. I'm pretty sure she would not fight me unless she had the advantage over me, but right now I have the highest advantage despite the ambush they've made" Mobius said as she laid her back in the seat, comfortable, as if there was nothing to worry about a problem happening.
"Eh? How? I always thought we were at a disadvantage here due to numbers" Alaya said, as she seemed not to find the reason why they had the disadvantage in the first place.
"Well, you have a Genesis-type body. It's a body that would grow stronger and make the person who had such modifications stronger over time. As for intelligence, they surpass your elites of head researchers when it comes to brilliance of intelligence, and the most special factor for it is that you are an 'Essence User'. Of course, almost everyone here is artificially forced to become 'Essence Users' and you, Alaya, are a Natural 'Essence User'" Mobius said as she revealed such a huge amount of information to Alaya.
"I'm a natural 'Essence User'? and the others are artificial 'Essence Users', but all of us are born in a vat grown. How can I be a natural one, and I don't feel any different at all?" Alaya said as she looked at herself and Mobius, noticing almost no difference from each other, other than the eyes and hair.
"Well, let's first talk about how the Essence User existed" Mobius said as she inhaled as much air as she could.
"The origin of Essence Users is rooted in the ancient lineage of the eldritch beings, primordial entities whose essence is interwoven with the very fabric of existence. Among these eldritch beings, there arose the firstborn—a singular entity of unfathomable power and wisdom. This firstborn eldritch being held dominion over the fundamental essence that permeated all of reality.
In a benevolent act of creation, this eldritch being sought to bestow its divine gift upon the cosmos, desiring to share the profound connection to the essence with others. However, the resonance required to truly wield this cosmic power was a rare and exceptional occurrence. Only a scant few individuals across the vast expanse of existence possessed souls that harmonized with the essence on a level deep enough to master it.
These chosen few, bestowed with this extraordinary gift, became known as Essence users. They were marked by a transcendent aura, their souls bearing the indelible imprint of the eldritch being's essence. These individuals were destined to navigate the boundless realms of cosmic mastery, wielding powers that surpassed mortal and divine comprehension.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
As Essence users emerged, they became beacons of creation and destruction in a universe brimming with potential. Their abilities to shape and manipulate the essence granted them a unique role as stewards of its entire existence. They stood at the intersection of the mortal and the divine, wielding the power to shape destinies and mold the very nature of existence.
The legacy of the eldritch being's gift endures as Essence Users continue to emerge across the eons, their presence a testament to the enduring connection between its existence and those who are touched by its essence. They stand as living embodiments of the existence tapestry, bearing the responsibility of wielding their extraordinary abilities with wisdom and purpose. And that is the story" Mobius said as she looked at the baffled Alaya in front of her.
"What about artificial 'Essence Users'?" Alaya asked, as the artificial 'Essence Users' had not been told in the story.
"Artificial 'Essence Users' are much weaker than natural ones'. Artificial users had a finite amount of essence instead of the infinite amount of essence that natural 'Essence Users' had. They also had poorer manipulation of essence itself. As for how they were created, they were created by natural 'Essence Users' themselves" Mobius said as she dumped another piece of information about the 'Essence Users'.
"Does that mean I can control stars, moons, and even planets?" Alaya said with enthusiasm, as if she wanted to do it.
"You could do more. Like, controlling the entire multiverse is actually easier than you think" Mobius said as she looked at Alaya, who seemed to try her best to control anything that she could. All of a sudden, the entire matter of the entire macrocosm they lived in, even those outside, suddenly tilted because of Alaya. Alaya, noticing what she had done, suddenly reverted it back to normal, but it's all too late. All of 'Essence Users' felt it. Even Mobius looked at her with surprise.

As the white-haired woman and the other head of department, Isabella Valeria, Roland Thornfield, Victor Blackwood, Elara Stormridge, Nathaniel Kane, and Seraphina Nightshade also appeared, they felt the energy looking at Siberia, and their eyes passed through the metal cover of the 'Quantum Warframe', seeing Alaya as for Mobius to suddenly use her essence as an energy of essence exploded at their face, throwing them farther back, reaching another cluster of true multiverse in the process, only for them to suddenly return back in an instant to the outer space of Siberia, unscathed by the explosion at their face.
"That fucker, she does not even allow us to see what just happened" Isabella said as the other seemed to be just silent, not trying to watch where Mobius was as she might try to explode their faces again.
"Sigh, let's go back. It's not time yet to fight her" the white-haired woman said as they all returned to the mothership.

"Just now," Alaya said, as she suddenly felt thousands of eyes watching her for it to suddenly disappear.
"Congratulations to you for your first usage of essence, Alaya" Mobius said with a big smile on her face as she got closer to Alaya's face and kissed her lips as a reward. Alaya tried to struggle. She even used essence to get out of Mobius grasp, but she couldn't get away, so she just allowed Mobius to kiss her.
'Umm, hello Commander, Madam, please don't kiss now we're still in a warzone' The Emotionless Artificial Human thought of what he wanted to say but just stayed silent and drove the 'Quantum Warframe' out of the area as fast as possible.
