At the dawn of a time when all was shrouded in absolute darkness, when nothing yet existed,
a colossal explosion tore through the endless void.
From that cataclysm, waves of unimaginable energy burst forth, scattering across the newborn cosmos.
Eons passed in silent expansion.
A faint azure light traveled endlessly through the vast universe,
until it collided with a young, dust-choked planet within a forming galaxy.
The impact was violent — shaping oceans, mountains, and storms beyond measure.
4.54 billion years later...
A deep tremor echoed beneath the ocean floor.
Massive quakes tore open the long-sealed crust of the world.
From within the rift emerged a faintly glowing, translucent creature —
its body shimmering in pale blue light.
As it awakened, it sensed its surroundings — the silence, the pressure, the darkness.
Its radiant glow drew the attention of other living forms nearby.
Among them, a colossal creature approached — its shell thick as armor,
capable of unleashing blasts of superheated air,
a being the ancients might one day call the Meteorite Lobster.
It lunged toward the light.
In a blinding surge, it released an explosive burst,
the force of which could rival a nuclear detonation.
Dust and debris filled the waters.
When the turbulence settled, the blue creature remained — unscathed.
The lobster, however, had lost one of its mighty claws.
The glowing being reached for the severed limb,
wrapped around it gently,
and as the claw withered to dust, it consumed it whole.
Then, moving swiftly, the azure entity slipped into the creature's open wound,
devouring it from within.
Moments later, the waters stilled.
What emerged from the wreckage was no longer blue —
but a vast, black-shelled being,
reborn in the image of the creature it had consumed.The battle beneath the sea had not gone unnoticed.
The eruption of heat and light had drawn the attention of other predators that ruled the abyss.
From the darkness came a colossal Leviathan Squid, its limbs lined with venomous barbs capable of paralyzing even the fiercest beasts.
Two Thunder Eels, each wielding over two hundred and sixty razor-sharp fangs, crackled with electricity as they approached.
And behind them, a towering crusted mass rumbled forward — the living volcano, known in the depths as the Molten Crab, a creature that breathed fire through boiling vents in its shell.
They surrounded the reborn black-shelled being — the creature once azure, now bearing the form of the Meteorite Lobster.
The Thunder Eels struck first, unleashing torrents of blinding lightning.
The water boiled and screamed. Then came the Molten Crab, its vents erupting with molten fury, scalding the sea around it.
Through the chaos, the azure-born being twisted and flowed, its body flickering between light and shadow.
But as it dodged one strike, a venomous tentacle lashed out — the Leviathan Squid had found its mark.
Poison seeped in, sizzling against its hardened shell.
The creature hesitated — and in that instant, it acted.
From its body, a massive claw — identical to the Meteorite Lobster's — burst forth, forged from its own liquid flesh.
With one swift motion, it sliced through the squid's arm. The limb sank into the abyss as black venom bled into the currents.
In a flash, the being stretched its body thin, like molten glass, and dove beneath the Molten Crab.
With a pulse of blistering energy, it unleashed a surge of superheated steam — the same weapon it had taken from its former prey.
The volcanic giant cracked open from within. Boiling blood clouded the sea as the azure-born devoured it whole.
For a moment, the ocean glowed red. Then silence — only the faint hum of energy as the creature absorbed its fallen foe.
It could feel the power within — the ability to summon boiling heat itself.
It turned next to the Leviathan.
Its body shimmered, armored once again in hardened shell — the venom no longer able to pierce it.
It lunged, wrapping around the squid's limbs, channeling the searing energy it had claimed from the Molten Crab.
The sea hissed. Steam rose. The Leviathan's flesh burned away to ash.
As the azure being consumed the dying beast, the two Thunder Eels panicked.
They turned and fled, their lightning flickering weakly through the dark water.
But the creature was faster.
From its clawed arm, it fired a burst of explosive energy — the venom it had absorbed from the squid, now fused with its own molten force.
The blast struck true. The eels convulsed, paralyzed, their bodies drifting helplessly in the current.
Moments later, they too were consumed.
Now, silence returned once more to the deep.
All that remained was the creature — evolving, changing, growing.
Yet deep within its shifting form, something stirred — a faint awareness, a spark of curiosity.
Far above, beyond the shadowed waters, it sensed something different.
Something alive.
It rose slowly toward the surface, following the faint light filtering from above.
Breaking through the waves, it drifted near a cluster of islands — and there, upon a rocky shore, it saw them.
Five beings, upright on two legs, with strange, patterned skin that shimmered under the sunlight — locked in battle with a towering, 280-foot serpent-like beast.
The creature froze, watching in silence.
For the first time since the beginning of its existence...
it witnessed life beyond its own.
