Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: Creating Creatures

At the center of the divine realm ;

Lex stood before the gathered primordials, gesturing to the vast expanse surrounding them. "This is the Divine Realm, the second strongest realm I have created. It will be your abode from now on. Here, you can live as you wish or leave at any time to explore other realms," he said calmly.

He paused, his gaze sweeping over them, his tone sharpening slightly. "But remember this, do not destroy them." His voice carried a weight that left little room for argument.

Most of the primordials listened attentively, some nodding in agreement. However, Delxi's expression darkened briefly at the final statement.

As the embodiment of the law of destruction, Delxi thrived in chaos and annihilation. The vast empty universe had left his strength stagnant, unable to grow stronger.

The revelation of other realms ignited a thrill within him,a promise of destruction that could finally increase his strength.

But Lex's words extinguished that hope like a cold flame. Though resentment simmered within him, Delxi dared not show his displeasure. Not here, not in front of Lex. He masked his thoughts, his expression neutral as he remained standing among the primordials.

Satisfied, Lex raised his hand, dispersing the gathering. Without hesitation, the primordials turned, their forms shifting into motion as they disappeared swiftly into the distant horizon, leaving only the faint hum of their energy in the still air.

Lex now stood alone as he watched them disappear one by one. He turned his attention to the essence drops as they emerged from the void their surface gleaming with ethereal brilliance, they hovered around him pulsating with powerful energy.

His gaze locked onto one drop and it immediately drifted towards him obeying his unspoken will. He raised his palm slowly, and the drop floated toward it, aligning itself in a delicate balance before hovering just above his palm.

After that he materialized other elements each varying in shape and form, some were as fine as dust, some were flickering fire while others were starlight mist, few of these materials were necessary for what he was about to do.

But Lex desired his creation to have different elements,distinct characteristics and the will to strive against all adversity; so he added few rare materials.

"EternalFlame " it was an illusionary fire that instills will power and determination into the creatures ensuring they can strive against adversity.

The next material was "TearsofOrigin" it was a drop of condensed emotion and experience fetched from the Origin Ocean, its role was to imbue creatures with empathy, creativity, and the capacity for deepthought.

The third was primordial clay, this material was drawn from the core of the divine realm and it was infused with the foundational elements of creation, it Served as the physical vessel for the creatures.

The next materials were "crystalline ember" fragments left behind from the birth of natural stars, its purpose was to add vitality and adaptability to the creatures.

Among the materials the two most significant were The two main materials were the "threadofgenesis" it was one of the rarest material in the universe that even lex had only three This time, he chose to use one, despite it not being intended for such a purpose. 

The threads, delicate yet immensely powerful, would serve to connect the essence of the primordials to the creatures, binding their existence to the very foundation of the universe itself.

The last material was the "Breath of Creation" a rare and precious substance formed after every act of creation though the amount that forms is limited. But Lex now had copious amounts from all the things he created.

This "BreathofCreation" was essential. It would awaken the creatures, imbuing them with life and consciousness. While other materials could achieve a similar effect, Lex had deliberately chosen the best in every category, ensuring that his creations would embody perfection and potential.

To him, anything less would not suffice.

He slowly manipulated the materials as they hovered above his palm their forms shifting and glowing as they merged with the essence drop seamlessly, this drop was from Timorath and it was pulsating with temporal energy. The materials coalesced together into shape and a figure slowly formed.

The figure floated in the air, curled into a fetal position, its form radiating an aura of immense power. Slowly, it began to move, its limbs unfurling with conscious grace.

As it moved, it descended gently, landing on the ground with a faint, reverberating thrum that echoed across the surrounding.

The creature stood towering at an awe-inspiring 10,000 feet, its presence both overwhelming and majestic.

Its skin was a deep, metallic gray with a subtle luster that caught the light, giving it an almost otherworldly sheen. Intricate patterns covered its hands, flowing like rivers of ancient design, each line pulsing faintly with energy.

Its head was elongated, tapering into a sharp point at the top, adding to its alien and commanding appearance. Embedded in its chest was a glowing orb-like structure, spinning slowly, radiating a soft golden light.

The sphere's steady motion mimicked the hands of a clock, a subtle reminder of its connection to the flow of time itself.

The creature stood silently, its presence alone a testament to the fusion of power, precision, and purpose that had birthed it.

Lex observed the creature for a moment, his eyes scanning it intently. Despite having come into existence mere seconds ago, it already displayed signs of intelligence, its gaze wandering curiously around the vast space.

When its eyes met Lex's, there was an unmistakable affection in its expression, as though it instinctively recognized its creator.

The creature, however, couldn't discern Lex's reaction, as Lex face remained hidden behind the glowing mist that shifted subtly around him.

Without a word, Lex extended his hand and carefully extracted a single drop of its blood, the shimmering crimson liquid floating gently into a small, sealed vessel. Satisfied, he stored it away for future use, his expression unreadable as he continued to observe his creation.

After moments of observing, Lex shifted his focus to creating the next creature. As before, he gathered the materials and the essence drop, but this time the process was quicker, each step executed with ease and precision.

The materials merged seamlessly, their energies harmonizing under Lex's control. Slowly, a new creature began to take form.

Its massive body resembled that of a whale, its size so vast it seemed to distort the air around it. The creature's skin was a deep, rich purple, glistening faintly as if reflecting light from the sun.

Four pairs of eyes adorned its head, each one glowing softly with an ethereal hue, giving it an air of wisdom and otherworldliness. Embedded on its head was a gem-like structure, radiating a soft light. The gem pulsed faintly, almost like a heartbeat, as if connected to the very essence of its being.

The creature floated effortlessly in the air, its presence serene and commanding, a symbol of strength and mystery intertwined.

Lex also observed the creature for a moment, his expression still unreadable behind the glowing mist, before continuing his work.

Lex moved swiftly, his movements precise and efficient as he began creating other creatures. Each one unique, a reflection of the primordial essence it was drawn from, and carried a distinct connection to a universal law.

With a graceful gesture, he merged the fiery essence of Eryndral with radiant materials. The result was a phoenix with feathers ablaze in hues of gold, crimson, and orange.

Its wings shimmered like molten fire, and its eyes burned with an eternal flame. Every time it moved, embers floated into the air, and its very presence radiated rebirth and renewal, a living embodiment of the law of rebirth.

Next Using Altheris' luminous essence, Lex crafted an eighteen -winged celestial being. Its radiant form glowed with an inner light, its wings refracting golden rays across the landscape.

The seraph's merepresence brought a sense of calm and truth, embodying the law of light. Its eyes which were deep and knowing, seemed to pierce through all falsehoods.

Lex then turned to Abyssra's aquatic essence. The materials twisted and churned until a massive leviathan emerged. Its sleek, dark blue body shimmered like the surface of the ocean under moonlight.

Glowing patterns traced its scales, pulsating like bioluminescent waves. The leviathan moved with a fluid grace, its presence embodying the endless tides and power of the sea.

After days of constantly creating finally Lex, stood at the center of the Divine Realm, his gaze sweeping over the 108,000 creatures he had meticulously created.

Each one represented a unique law, its very existence tied to the primordial essence from which it was formed. These creatures were not merely beings, they were the first of their kind.

But his work was far from over. Lex's vision extended beyond their current forms. He intended to scatter their essence and DNA across the universe, seeding the cosmos with the potential for life.

From the smallest, simplest cells to fully evolved organisms, he wanted these species to grow and adapt independently, shaped by their environments and experiences.
