"ASSIMILATE!"
BOOM!
A command was given not to reality, but to the platinum particles that the Nar'Thyss enjoyed like wine connoisseurs savoring a vintage!
The order resonated through dimensions that most beings didn't know existed, carrying with it the fundamental difference between Achilles and every Nar'Thyss that had ever existed.
The Nar'Thyss utilized and harvested the Existential Authority of Fables.
They collected it, refined it, consumed it like cosmic farmers bringing in their crops.
It was terrifying enough…this ability to feed on the dramatic tension of entire civilizations, to grow strong on the stories of Quintillions.
They had been able to reshape reality itself with this power, to guide the narratives of the Star Seas for eons uncounted.
And yet Achilles was an Adrastia Emperor King.
With an ability to assimilate anything.
