Chapter 1108 Memories Of Fire (5)
She understood enough about energy that she knew she could not steal even a fraction of power from this shield that covered her father except she spent an unknown amount of time working at it, and even then just a tiny fraction of the energy it contained would nearly overwhelm her. Once again she wondered what sort of monster her father was, and if she was worthy of his blood. The invisible membrane did not stop any of the others either who decided to follow her passage, they were only blocked for a moment before they were allowed through, and under the shadow of Telmus\'s power they turned back to the universe to see the surprising death and rebirth of the universe, the view was stunning and nearly indescribable.
"How powerful do you have to be to be able to do such a thing?" Fury mumbled, but in the silence here, everyone could hear him, no one replied for they had no idea, most were trying to come to terms with their impending death and or resurrection.
The universe that was being recreated behind the wave of destruction appeared to be the same, yet it was different in various subtle manners that in their present state they could not bother to determine, survival came first after all.
It was the white-haired girl who first saw it, a long trail of darkness covered by a blinding silver light. This trail of darkness stayed just ahead of the wave of destruction, traveling at ridiculous speeds, it was just able to survive on the edge of its doom.
Its speed was not just dependent on its power, it was using the forward momentum of the destructive wave ravaging the universe to stay ahead of it, just like a surfer riding a wave, but in this instance, one minor slip would lead to oblivion.
With her familiarity with understanding, breaking down, and rerouting energy, the white-haired girl understood that whoever was fleeing from the destruction must have a rather impossible level of energy control and an absolute understanding of their surroundings to survive the destruction of the universe.
As if their attention had been detected, it was possible to see that the black trail of darkness had seen them by two red glints that shone like stars from within, and despite at this moment it should be a galaxy away, everyone here knew that red light were eyes, and it began to subtly change its course to head towards their direction.
With its speed in less than seven seconds it had crossed the entire galaxy and its shape was now revealed, showing that it was a massive otherworldly avian creature with massive tentacles sprouting from its back and wings. Every beat of its wings allowed it to shuttle through space as the tentacles on its songs tore through space to the Underverse below and used its space-warping properties to keep it ahead of the destructive waves, even making it speed up further.
Her focus drew the attention of Malakith and then the Empress and Fury who also saw the trail of darkness surfing ahead of the wave of destruction. Malakith rubbed his head, pressing his thumb and forefinger against his eyes as he felt a growing headache when he tried to reconcile what he was witnessing with the reality that he knew and understood.

The cold gaze of the creature pierced through and analyzed everyone here, no doubt scanning for threats, and it sensed the power of Telmus\'s dominion over space and it headed there, after fleeing through the universe, it knew that its only source of safety might come from reaching this place.
Quicker than a thought, it crossed countless miles and appeared above the membrane in a flash. Its massive bulk made the acre of land that was Telmus\'s domain to be as small as a grain of sand but in a flash, its speed and size all vanished and a young man with short black hair and bright silver eyes appeared beside them, his descent not even shaking a single grain of dust.
The young man did not even look at the people inside here with him, instead, he was focused on a woman he held, his right hand cradling her head while his left was busy weaving starlight and darkness into a mysterious configuration.
He glanced at the approaching wave of destruction, gritted his teeth, and looked away, his hand moving faster and faster. A bracelet he had on his wrist was taken off, he did not even hesitate before crushing it and adding it to whatever he was creating, it was possible to hear him mumble something about tears.
The white-haired girl observed him with astonishment before pointing a finger at his left hand. It would appear that this man had not only been fleeing from a universe-wide destructive event, but he was simultaneously crafting one of the most fiendishly complex contraptions she had ever seen, such talent made her eyes light up and she immediately knew that she had to help, it did not matter who he was, she just wanted to see that he succeeds.
The silver eyes of the man brightened for a moment as if lightning was running within his skull, anticipating danger, and like a snake that was coiled to strike, he would give back a thousand times more damage than what he was about to receive, but he unexpectedly relaxed when he noticed that the flow of his hand was now faster. Somehow there was no single molecule in the air that was blocking the motion of his fingers, allowing him to move marginally faster and smoother, and for someone like him, such an advantage could be taken a long way.
Briefly glancing at the white-haired girl he returned to his task and with a flourish that caused lightning to flash and thunder to rumble overhead, his creation was complete. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
It turned out to be a green brooch that seemed to be filled with a pale liquid, he waved his hand and the woman he was cradling began to slowly fade as if she was the figment of a dream. He looked at her one last time as his hand clutched at the empty air as she vanished.
The woman reappeared within the brooch and the young man gently caressed it before pinning it to his shirt underneath his jacket, and then nodding at the white-haired girl he turned to face the end of everything, he had been running for too long.
The white-haired girl looked back at him for a moment before turning towards the incoming destruction that slammed into Trion and chewed through the entire planet as if it was not even there, before sweeping past, of course, their little bubble of salvation was hit by this attack, and with a shriek the bubble collapsed, but it did not do so instantaneously, instead, it collapsed from the edge and gradually proceeded towards the center.
