First Prey
"Woow..." Sara looked at Heian Ciemnosc's in-between where his Dantian and Psychogenic connected, exploding and self-destroying everything in this small space compared to his pure, endless darkness. It was as if storms, hurricanes, and deadly twirls formed out of nowhere, spreading and filling everything in a matter of an iota. Sara had the strange notion she could see everything happen slowly until it all blew up, blasting her Soul eardrums as all of Heian Ciemnosc's little inner space thundered and collapsed.
The pale green crosses and the pink coloring her whole eyes, barely distinguishing the beautiful pupils, trembled as she became astounded. For so long, she had never seen a breakthrough into this realm, or similar to old, previous cultivation systems, be this terrific and yet beautifully tragic at the same time.
She looked with wide-open eyes as pride surged from her heart, and her countenance was akin to a child understanding the meaning of having a hero. Heian Ciemnosc was unaware of her current antics. He was undergoing terrible pains as the momentum where he destroyed all his inner galaxies echoed everywhere at once.
With his willpower enhanced by the events lived through his life, Heian Ciemnosc could flawlessly break apart his inner galaxies back at the Soul Spirit realm, but it didn’t mean he suffered no pain. Now that he was feeling it all over again, not only at the same time but also enhanced. It was a strain he never thought would echo throughout his body from his own will. This pain was far more than anything he had read through records!
Heian Ciemnosc still sat cross-legged in the second living room. He looked peaceful and without mistakes. He could be taken as a sleepy head failing to meditate and sleeping as if he were a First Step cultivator during his first days as one.
However, while he nearly felt bouts of dark blood ascend from his throat. Heian Ciemnosc still kept his pain and body in check, not allowing it to falter, even if it was to cleanse his body from overturning dark blood that became waste. He persevered as the explosion expanded, fruitfully elongating the small inner space between his Dantian and Psychogenic.
Finally, the inner galaxies’ momentum, at the time of their destruction, brightened everything in the inner space but rapidly drew to the middle as if a black hole was created, sinking every little bit of color and blinding light into nothingness.
The inner space had increased, but it was no longer a place where inner galaxies could exist or be created. It was no longer an inner space but an inner universe!
Heian Ciemnosc’s inner galaxy was different from that of others. According to every existent record, experience, instruction, and manual, regardless of the chosen path, Light or Dark realm, their inner universe would light up into a flickering in-and-out endless cosmos.
That would become their inner universe, where their lives would change forever, especially if they could form the necessary steps during the Third Step towards Godhood. If it was a Light inner universe, it would be bright and beautiful, instilling hope into their cultivator’s mental state, and always work as a beacon for remembering one’s willpower and purpose.
If it was a Dark inner universe, their cultivator’s mind state would calm and become tranquil, focusing said cultivator on their goals and longings. Only they could attain such things, and only themselves can deprive themselves of such. Such inner universe would gleam with light, but it would be so still and quiet that the only sound they could hear would be their beating hearts.
All of these were like cultivating for the first time, except they now counted on not just their Spirit Aspect to aid them in matter of their path but also the smallish simulation of life within their bodies. It was the foundation to the Third Step, where one only needed to understand everything surrounding them in order to break into the Non-Mortal Step!
However, for Heian Ciemnosc, everything was different. There was no such thing, no inner universe. Or maybe it was just that, and he didn’t notice before, but… The space where his inner universe should be was… just an expansion of his pure, endless darkness.
It was as if Heian Ciemnosc had 2 pure, endless darkness inside his whole being. One was his inner being, and the other his inner universe. However, Heian Ciemnosc only needed an instinctive probe without his power sources to detect these were the same.
Heian Ciemnosc didn’t have 2 inner universes, one hidden and already existent to the fullest. He just… had that pure, endless darkness within him. But now, such a thing was no longer in his inner being alone but on ⅔ of his body.
“...” Heian Ciemnosc opened his darkest eyes, gazing at the living room he grew fond of. This was the first thing he paid and improved as the Team Leader that wasn’t ammunition for the Offensive Frigate with merit points, discounting silver coins by a lot. And then, just as Sara was sobering up to the same realization about his pure, endless darkness, Heian Ciemnosc’s mind clicked with a strange, ambitious thought.
‘Would my body be filled with my pure, endless… no, my inner pure, endless darkness after I attain my Godhood? Will I have everything and the secrets I do not know yet revealed?’ Heian Ciemnosc pondered. Even as he broke through and felt these changes, he didn’t gain anything from it, and his body didn’t go through anything.
It was too passive, which could only mean one thing. Heian Ciemnosc had to ‘complete’ such an ideal and fill- no! And unleash the pure, endless darkness within him so he could understand. Once his inner pure, endless darkness was fully unleashed, he might finally know things… It wasn’t a far-off goal. Heian Ciemnosc could achieve in a few decades if he tried harder!
“That’s right! It must be why! Woaaah…” Sara echoed in his head, contemplating his thoughts as he stood up and prepared to shower after his medallion heated up. But at that moment, hearing Sara’s exclamation, he felt a foreboding about this.
Tingle, rustle- rustle! “!” Heian Ciemnosc felt Sara, this time more discernibly, moving through the expansion of his inner pure, endless darkness and felt her every body movement. She suddenly arrived above his abdomen, where his Dantian region had become part of his inner pure, endless darkness— and poked downwards.
Immediately, Heian Ciemnosc’s behemoth felt a tingling sensation, widening his darkest eyes in response. Then, it moved around like an invisible ghost trying to fellate him. Heian Ciemnosc compared Sara’s hand movements with his prick’s motions and paled. She was the one to gain power and boosts over this!
“Sara…!!” Heian Ciemnosc put on severe darkest eyes as he looked down, seemingly staring at the top of her head, but she already had plans. She looked up in wonderment, but she held the behemoth, now sprung to life, and opened her small lips to engulf it, bringing Heian Ciemnosc to unprecedented pleasure as his senses seemingly heightened, at least regarding his inner pure, endless darkness.
“Chup- slurrp, slurrp…” Heian Ciemnosc watched in dismay as Sara bobbed her head up and down, focusing an all-out attack on his glans. He was incredulous as he felt it first-hand. Marvel and fear gripped his heart tightly as he gave in and awkwardly walked to the showers…
… Several hours later, at the Carrier’s center, still docked in the Space Station as it swiftly moved farther from the covert operation’s location, atop the central tree in Hong Mei’s core garden.
A young man and young woman, the former taller, but both with pale skin and bare, lay on a leaf as the latter faced the ceiling, and her belly heavily went up and down. Heian Ciemnosc lay sideways, facing her. His head near her solar plexus as he gasped. Even though his Master had a tremendous cultivation base, she was forced to a dry mouth and breathless state by his lascivious, passionately tender acts.
Rustle, fwiiip, fwuuup. Heian Ciemnosc moved towards his Master. His left arm encompassed her slender, frail belly as she trembled before turning irresistibly softer. He dragged his head closer to her body and raggedly muttered, “It isn’t every day that Master lets me embrace her, my wife. And for so long, too.”
“You spend so much time with your other wives. Why would I take that time away?” Calisneia said, facing Heian Ciemnosc as he looked up at her with those damnable, darkest eyes. With how he looked at her, she couldn’t find it within her to berate him, so she gave in. Her left hand caressed the back of his head and brought it to her left breast, letting him eat her meat as she spoke lower than a mosquito voice with her mouth against his pitchest-blackest hair.
“The Space Station will soon anchor,” Lady Calisneia said. Her behavior was much more careful and loving as Heian Ciemnosc suckled with his eyes closed, nearly engulfing all of her left breast. “I’ve seen your breakthrough… I can’t fathom it. But you must keep going. And the only way to not stop is to keep pushing yourself. Too much training, no experience. Bring your people out and hunt. Show the Crimsonbreaking Faction what you can do with 2 Frigates. That this one special treatment wasn’t in vain, at least.”
“Prove them you’re my disciple… You will always be my disciple.” Lady Calisneia smooched Heian Ciemnosc’s head. He dropped her tit, loudly clapping a sound from the motion as he lifted his chin and spoke to her in a ‘spoil me more, please’ tone, “But not more than your husband.”
“Not more than my man…” Lady Calisneia said. Her white, pale golden eyes glinted in tenderness as he returned his head to her bosom, letting her expressions reveal silent moans as she vulnerably danced to his every caress.

Several days later, in space. Far from the Crimsonbreaking Faction’s Space Station, base to all Crimsons, renowned worldwide.
2 Frigates flew at their slow pace. One was a Defensive type, while the other was Offensive. They were, of course, from the Crimsonbreaking Faction. The emblems imprinted at their sides, revealing the majesty of their base, echoed as a light shone on those respective sides of both Frigates.
Inside the Offensive Frigate, the central command had their team of piloting experts without a co-leader- On the other hand, the Defensive Frigate had Heian Ciemnosc standing beside the commander’s seat in the middle of the central command. Both Frigates’ piloting experts were working in a flurry, tensed about completing something.
Meanwhile, Heian Ciemnosc drank from his cup again. It was white and had a cute bear cartoonish decal beside the handle. Behind him, Milyy held Anastasia as Yun Nitu rested on a chair further behind them. She seemed a little exhausted, while the source of her exhaustion was standing before her like they did not just drain her mental stability.
Heian Ciemnosc drank one last time from his cup, lowering his head. When he finished, he heard footsteps behind him as Milyy approached. He turned around, flashed his dirty ‘mustache’ to their daughter, and licked his lips clean as Anastasia cracked in bell-like laughter.
Milyy took the cup, flashed Heian Ciemnosc with her kitty, narrowed eyes, and turned around before sitting with Yun Nitu. She finally let Yun Nitu have her reward as Anastasia started playing with the ‘cute’ Aunty. Anastasia bit her sleeves and and walked on Yun Nitu’s lap, returning her some of the vigor she lost during the last 20 hours used to teach them.
Step, step. Heian Ciemnosc walked to the front left wing of the central command and approached the piloting expert, who nodded at him 2 minutes ago, whereas he and the others were waiting for further instructions. Although they were made to hold, the excitement in their eyes and hearts didn’t dwindle. And Heian Ciemnosc could see through it without nature reading.
If Heian Ciemnosc was the commander, he wouldn’t have needed to walk over, but that was only the ‘privileges’ a commander held. Silly might be, but this tradition and unwritten rule were the same as those that kill for the sword die by the sword.
“Direct them a little lower,” Heian Ciemnosc said. The piloting expert stiffened before checking the coordinates of something and felt coldness wash over him. He looked at Heian Ciemnosc and nodded, feeling ashamed. Everyone had finished their work, but he had made a slim mistake and didn’t re-check it, nearly bypassing and possibly ruining their plans.
After ignoring the piloting expert’s reaction to not knowing his near-mistake, Heian Ciemnosc crossed his left arm and supported his left elbow. Holding his chin with his right backhand, he caressed his neck with his index fingertip before giving the call, “Engage.”
“Yes, sir!” The central command surged in response. Everyone opened their mouths to slightly roar. Then, the Defensive Frigate leaned to the right as the Offensive Frigate flew above them and leaned downwards to the left. Several holographic screens appeared around the commander’s seat, with auxiliary digital screens popping from the floor and nearest structures in case the holograms failed or were intercepted.
It started. The Eternal Return Team’s Defensive and Offensive Frigates’ first hunting!
In space, the Defensive Frigate moved like a koi as the Offensive Frigate mimicked it, but from above. Just then, the Defensive Frigate launched 2 torpedoes at the slowest starting speed possible and with its thrusters deactivated. They immediately froze when they were launched, slowly moving in the same direction as the Frigates slowly closed in, forming a triangular-ish shape with the torpedoes’ crashing destination in the middle and without a base.
POOOO- CRRGJK CHHKK…
The torpedoes suddenly went off. They created solid clouds as the Frigates closed in. If it wasn’t for the readied shields and because they were focused on the Water and Wind Elements beforehand, they would’ve been penetrated and suffered devastating damage.
What was even stranger was the main hangars’ hatches opening, letting all Fighters come out and line up in a star-shaped formation surrounding their respective Frigate. The piloting experts worked their assess to prepare things before they looked at Heian Ciemnosc, who was already lifting his left arm, and several inscriptions from pure energy were drawn at his back.
In his left hand, a flora was held. It was a Sunflour. Heian Ciemnosc crushed the flower, its tiny pieces fluttering into the air but rapidly consumed by the air as if, for some reason, the world needed to eat them away. The glowing inscriptions behind Heian Ciemnosc gained an orange-ish color before disappearing.
Pshiiiiiiiiiiffvvt~!!
The Defensive and Offensive Frigate echoed with electrifying energy as a lonely Sunflour left at the Offensive Frigate’s commander’s spot disintegrated. Energy Links shot from the Frigates to their respective Fighter Teams, connecting and binding them to themselves.
Anastasia’s eyes strongly glinted as she looked at Heian Ciemnosc’s back it occurred. One would’ve thought she would feel threatened or sad, but she displayed excitement and fervor as the Sunflour turned to nothingness. It wasn’t the sentiment of said flora to be returned to the world but of power, ambition… and superiority!
Heian Ciemnosc looked back at her, finding Milyy already looking down as Yun Nitu’s eyebrows rose. He gave the little shit an approving grin before returning his focus to space.
At this moment, just as the Incinerating Bolt battle array formation was completed, the Frigates’ small engines were slowly activated. The Fighters surrounding their Frigate’s structure felt excitement and nervousness spread throughout. The Offensive Frigate’s Fighter personnel were about 70% Third Step cultivators, well trained under the Crimsonbreaking Faction, and already in their first space mission!
VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEM~~~!
When the Frigates’ small engines operated at full after slowly working to that capacity, they finally shot forth, zooming into the distance and covering tens of thousands of kilometers in under 3 minutes.
“Yun Tang, prepare to lead the Offensive Frigates’ Fighter Teams!” Heian Ciemnosc commanded. His words echoed through the private channels as Yun Tang, inside his Bulldog Fighter, excitedly looked forward to this!
“Yes, young black monster! Haha~! Let me show these ‘rats’ why I’m Yun Tang, waah!” Yun Tang’s words echoed throughout his Fighter group. Heian Ciemnosc nodded, calculating the time and distance with his 3,000,000 km of Spirit Sense after breaking into the early Dark realm. The Frigates moved at higher speeds than they could thanks to the battle array formation, and everyone’s defenses were increased— not by little.
“Co-lead, the enemy’s been spotted. 300 seconds unti-” A piloting expert in charge of immediate battle reports said as 2 different sources confirmed him the same thing. Other sources worked with the same objective, but they only had 1 target and wouldn’t waste their time doing the same unless another enemy target showed up.
“No waiting. Fire all machine guns! Fighters, hold your fire!” Heian Ciemnosc commanded, not leaving any choice to think as the piloting experts immediately acted. Then, ‘tarararara’ vibrating noises began as the rapidly flying Frigates appeared in their target’s radars.
“... Boss! We’re-” In the enemy spaceship, a Defensive Frigate speeding at medium speed to who knew where a piloting expert shouted. But before he could brief any further, their Frigate was hit with ‘pupupupupu’ noises, and their spaceship trembled as the shields were barraged. The piloting expert stumbled before anxiously begging, “Boss, orders! Please!”
“Maximum speed ahead! What are you waiting for? We’re under attack! Move!!” Their boss said, giving the central command time to nervously chatter as they feared for their lives, but they seemed okay with the notion. “I knew it would’ve happened sooner or later.” - “That’s what you get for thinking just forming an alliance can let you break down an Overlord!” - “Dammit! I didn’t want to die against my heroes! Aaah!”
“...” The enemy commander seemed afflicted by these words. They weren’t part of the Tortoise Glabella Pavilion but were still hunted to the ends of the Existence. They had seen some battles from up close but always fled until they separated from their group when an Interchanging Dust Dynasty Carrier ambushed them and descended with hell raining upon them with hundreds of thousands of drones.
“Boss! We can’t! We can’t!!” A piloting expert reported, not even waiting for the reporter to give the news. He said, “They are joined with something, and… they… they are followed by 200 missiles! 200 missiles!!”
The piloting expert’s voice became shriller and mad as he continued to relay the information. Images appeared that the commander could see, and his expression became hopeless as he looked at everyone, spinning in place. “Initiate communications!”
“Done!” As if someone was waiting for this moment, the commander received a new hologram showing Heian Ciemnosc’s face drinking from a cup. The commander’s eyes widened, but he didn’t waste time and tried, even though nobody had heard of success from begging. “Here is Laen Cosromeda! I am one of the sinners to side with the evil Tortoise Glabella Pavilion… I ask for your attention, for what we seek is for-”
“This is a recorded message, in case you futilely attempted.” Heian Ciemnosc’s voice echoed as he drank from the cup. There was still half left. Heian Ciemnosc’s darkest eyes calmly looked at the camera and sentenced them to death. “The pain you caused that day, the horror of nature for no particular reason… Remember it and fight— because you will die.”
“...” The hologram closed. And then, as the commander spent 5 seconds totally baffled. He blinked and moved his neck, stumbling on his spot as he lightly commanded after a breathless sigh, “Stop wasting energy. Put everything to our shields and protect the weaponry. Have everyone prepare for an assault and our Fighters to explode in space… Moon tactic, now!”
“... … …” After a deathly silence, the central command started working. The enemy Frigate no longer increased their speed and turned their smallish engines and small engines off and arched backward, like a whale soaring from underwater, albeit with the intention to form an elliptical trajectory, flying while their machine guns faced the incoming barrage and the 2 conjoint Frigates neared them evermore.
The commander looked at the incoming Frigates, not even caring to praise the ingenious method, rarely seen because of its risk, yet accomplished to the letter and with high graces. Their Frigate was still in the midst of aiming to return firepower when the commander noticed something and shouted, but it was too late, and it became deafened in the piloting experts’ ears as the firepower suddenly tripled!
…ta rarara… rarara… rarara… rarara… VEEEEEEEM~! FUTOMP~! Peeeeeeeeeeeew…
The enemy Frigate’s shield started sizzling, blinking in and out of activation at derivative locations when the 2 Frigates stopped, and their thrusters exploded with force, cutting the solid cloud joining their structures with enhanced Neutral Energy spilled from both Frigates, and started dancing up and down in an orbiting universal focus, and encircled the enemy Fighter.
The Defensive and Offensive Frigates moved to the left and right, respectively, calculating a sudden spinning motion at the center from the enemy Frigate’s universal focus to return from where they came from and do the same on the opposite center where they would find each other from the enemy Frigate’s universal direction. Futilely changing, trying to avoid the incoming missiles.
…
