A distant ripple shivered through the void.
The Outer Gods stirred.
They could tell something was wrong, but they were not able to sense what it was.
Neo's existence (Seed of Existence) has been erased, let alone his body and soul. There was no way he was alive.
Clearly, they could not sense Consciousness.
But even without direct perception, the titanic energy being generated by his lingering Consciousness gnawed at their instincts.
It was a raw, pure energy they were not accustomed to.
Vaedrex moved first.
Without a word, he unfurled his divinity.
The concept of erasure, absolute and bottomless, spread out from him like a black tide.
Space, matter, memory—everything was eaten away.
Planets in the far distance flickered out of existence like dying embers.
Vaedrex wanted nothing left. Nothing for Neo to cling to. No piece of him to survive.
The others watched as Vaedrex devoured it all.
