In the boundless Starry Sky.
At the edge of the Orga Star System, where Planet 228 was located.
A triangular blue light gate suddenly opened.
Whoosh!
A spacecraft carved all over with holy scripture patterns of the Church suddenly flew out of the light gate.

Majestic, powerful psionic fluctuations faintly emanated from within the spacecraft.
Not long after, a circular opening slowly opened at the bottom of the spacecraft.
A sphere crackling with blue arcs of electricity slowly fell from within, hovering in an empty stretch of space nearby.
"The bait has been released."
"Preparing spatial jump."
"5."
"4."
"3."
"2."
"1."
The blue electrical sphere suddenly exploded, silently transforming into a ring of blue light. In the space several dozen kilometers from the spacecraft, it swiftly formed a brand-new blue light gate.
Having finished all this, the spacecraft turned around and fled. In the blink of an eye, it activated its engines at full power, flying into the depths of the universe and vanishing without a trace.

Just then, a massive dark-red object burst out of the blue light gate.
It was an enormous mass of flesh comparable in size to a spacecraft, over a thousand meters in length and width.
The flesh mass squeezed outward like a fountain, pouring forth endlessly without pause.
Several hours later, the entire mass had become a colossal, bizarre creature dozens of kilometers in diameter.
It had no limbs and no facial features, yet its entire body pulsed ceaselessly
