A few days later...
Muku suddenly appeared in the world again after what could be called a lifetime away.
The sight that greeted his eyes not only shocked him but also scared him.
Wherever he looked, grotesque crimson creatures roamed—devouring everything in their path. Whether it's earth, water, mana, air... everything. There were even a few that were slowly devouring space itself.
"What the hell is this?! What's going on?!" Muku asked no one in particular.
"This... this is nothing really. Just the vanguard of a creature trying to devour the universe... Just like it did all the other universes before this one. I call it The Devourer. I had been keeping it at bay, but now that's up to you," Mrs C, who appeared out of nowhere after not appearing for who knows how long, replied casually.
