Flashing lights appeared before Shade’s eyes. How long has it been? Shade wobbled to her feet 97 eras passed! Shade used her Umbral sense to sense to strength of the entire Multiverse. Only Gods yet huh Shade scoffed. If Gods are the strongest this Multiverse has to offer I don’t think this will be hard.

A tremendous aura washed over the entire Multiverse. Kingdoms were freaking out with revolts and many investigations happening due to the tremendous aura. So far the only people who new the truth were the 12 Primordials. 12 pairs of eyes opened at the same time and one word floated from every one of their lips— shit! What do we know about the aura God Of The Eternal Flame said. We know that it came from a being beyond our belief possibly stronger than us gods Knowledge said. This is some serious stuff Vatrox said Do you know anything Knowledge? I have to say even I have no idea who this being is it’s entirely possible it’s beyond this era Knowledge said.

A dead era Death mused. We need heroes Justice said. Zero looked up his red eyes shining bright in his pitch black form I suggest we use the missing throne of the Shadow as an incentive. Life groaned and all the Eternals looked at her. What’s the problem Death said to his fiancee. Life squeezed out a gasp the death surrounding her is too much. Her? Viper asked curiously. The doors slowly opened as a tall slender woman with pitch black hair and purple eyes walked in. She wore tattered robes that trailed down to her feet with a hilted slender sword at her waist. All the Eternals looked at her. Conflict and Doom moved first the duo blasting tremendous energy enough to annihilate a universe multiple times over but it just washed over her having no effect. The mystery woman spoke I’m the servant of Shade. You’re just a servant! Eternal Flame exclaimed. The servant didn’t reply only saying Shade is giving you a warning she senses that there are still more beings stronger than you so called Primordials. Death looked the servant in the eye and asked what does your master want. The servant didn’t flinch and said my liege want’s a proper fight she will erect multiple temples dungeons heritages monsters titans apocalypses and Ragnaroks. If you’re able to beat them all in time my liege will reward you with a quick death. Sin asked what if we can’t finish them? The servant laughed and said you all get tortured for eternity to show you what true Eternity looks like. The servant's eyes flashed with barely contained power as she released a burst of power so great it blasted the Eternals away and ripped apart their domain and shot them down into the ground raised her hand and a huge purple ball appeared above the servant the ball of energy had a timer 10000000 years. The gods grimaced as they felt the godly strong servant disappear and they looked at each other. Shit!
