[Unknown universe. Unknown time. Beings who underneath are no different from us, with the exception of their powers to extinguish our existence upon order of the gods, are gathered together to watch their champion destroy our planet.]
What they are doing is forbidden by the gods.
An executioner only lives to destroy, nothing more.
Obey the will of the gods.
But today they have gathered in secret, and combined all of their powers so the gods cannot see what they are doing.
They are watching what seems to be a title bout.
A being of their own kind is being tested by the gods.
The test is to endure and survive.
The test is to reach a planet that is 76 tera away in time and space.
Then destroy it.
They have all failed. None among them could pass the prequalification of the gods.
And now that they are over with their own personal quests to outmaneuver all others, they unite.
For they now join as one in chanting his name.
His name is Aster. He has survived 76 tera.
What is a tera?
It is the longest time a human has ever lived.
All of them are exhausted. They have all combined to form the massive battery powering the fifth dimension door, or as we call it, the technology to see into another universe at another time.
They see Aster destroy planet Earth.
They see how the gods reach out to him and give him enough power to communicate through the tera that divides them.
They cannot hear the conversation, but a few wisely understand that Aster has found something in the rubble that he cannot destroy within his power.
Some kind of crystal.
Or perhaps, a seed?
Nothing has ever before survived an Executioner. Each one is given by the gods enough power to destroy.
And this power of destruction, as they watch, fuels their champion.
What happens next puzzles them.
With the power given to him, Aster begins to open two portals.
They marvel at the power. They are awed by his new abilities.
So this is the reward!
Astounding power that they now only witness in secret, and all at their own great personal expense and danger.
Is it worth it?
They watch patiently.
Even with his new abilities, they see that the two portals will take time to open their doors to Aster.
Now, the doors are creaking.
Slowly, they open.
But there is a sudden disruption.
They see that Aster, for some sudden reason, is now attempting to destroy the moon of the now-destroyed earth.
So this is what true power is!
Freedom!
Freedom to destroy without answering to the gods!
They are convinced that after this, Aster will be so drunk with power, he will destroy this galaxy.
They cheer. They dream of someday becoming someone like Aster.
But this unusually particular moon puts up a fight. They wonder why the destruction of the moon is taking longer than the much larger planet.
By the time Aster is finished destroying the moon, the doors are ready.
The doors flash and invite.
The executioners no longer care about the fight statistics.
They see him send the indestructible remnant of earth into the first. And into the second, he enters and vanishes.
Their minds commune to discuss what has just been witnessed.
The time is unfathomable to us, how long it will take them to understand the series of events.
But something unexpectedly happens that captures their attention, as well as ours.
Someone or something has easily opened a third door and vanished into it.
Had they been less of the executioners that they were, they would not have been able to notice that.
And before they can even react, for they were in fact acting like children playing in their parents' yards and hiding under a blanket, another unexpected moment happens.
Something or someone has suddenly grabbed their blanket and thrown it over the yard with the same speed and audacity a magician throws away the veil to reveal the secret and further mystify and fascinate the audience with his magic.
The gods have discovered their secret activity and are now here right in front of them.
The Executioners cower in fear, awaiting what will happen next.
