What power is this?

[Kavliaris]

Their appearance

The second presence was a ‘pause’. Wherever the shadow passed, stars and planets would stop where they were as if in a photograph—motionless and non-responsive as if time did not exist to them. Then, those stagnated stars soon collided with other planetary systems moving normally in the dense cosmos of the star forge cluster, and amidst the dazzling explosions that rapidly cooled after and motion clashing, a black cloud that resembled a clock appeared.

Observing from different angles, the hands of the clock appeared to point at different directions and scales. One could even see the images of finality for countless worlds, and it stayed still if the observer did not move. The Chaos malice of death would hence spread, disrupting the boundaries of motion and stillness.

Limbo has appeared.

The third presence was ‘splitting’. Objects were breaking apart and energy mutually consuming where the shadow passed, with everything from light of different spectrums, waves of different frequencies, or energy and objects of different intensities becoming minute. Celestial bodies that were once whole thanks to gravity utterly crumbled as the shadow flashed and disintegrated into clusters of varying clouds, with space itself being distorted into a layered structure. Then, in the instant all things were categorized so intrinsically that they were no longer connected, a dark halation that resembled mosaic appeared.

Each colored mosaic piece was composed from countless different hues, incessantly divided and categorized until the limits of observation, that even the observer was assimilated—eventually, the brain and the eye were no longer connected, and the hand and heart no longer in synchrony. The Chaos malice of perplexity spread, driving all things towards separated destruction.

Divide has appeared.

With the fourth and the last, nothing could be felt, observed as there was nothing, as if not a single thing had ever happened. There was neither presence nor threat, for neither darkness nor shadows were present as if it was all merely an illusion.

However, just because it could not be seen did not mean that it was not there or non-existent—there was no Chaotic presence or anomalies, and save for the fact that the fourth indeed existed, nothing was certain or clear, just like the hairless primates that pointed at the tiny stars upon the night sky, grinning as they claimed that the universe was bright.

Avoidance has appeared.

Spoiler: Avoidance

The power of Avoidance had always kept it unseen under any scenario, and could bend light, energy ripples, gravity, or indeed anything, for that matter. What formed the Evil God of Avoidance was not normal substance or energy in the universe, which explained why it could easily hide itself in the quantum aspect, phasing through walls or traversing freely between the realms of spirit, Shadow, Psi, or even the physical world, and not to mention simply exist as a presence of information.

That so-called avoidance was being unseen, deliberate disguising as if it did not exist. Theoretically speaking, any perception or attack would not be able to touch the Evil God as it could dodge any damage, including being ‘detected’—in other word, it would always exist in blind spots: photosensitive creatures could not see the radiance it reflected, energy creatures could not pick up on its energies, machine beings could not find its data flow, and Psi lifeforms could not sense their existence.
