As a split core of Dark Matter's core, Star Creation had been able to hide on this planet until now, only fully revealing its presence when it chose to expose itself.
It all traced back to the end of that great war.
The Arceus of this world had acted in a way completely beyond the main body's expectations, choosing to personally enter the battle the moment the situation began to turn unfavorable.
At that time, the main body had been just one final step away from completing its invasion of the first world it had occupied. In a moment of carelessness, before it could bring forth equivalent Combat Power, it was forcibly expelled beyond the Edge Wall of the universe, into the void-like land of chaotic nothingness.
If the main body had not prepared a Contingency Plan in advance—namely, secretly replacing the existence of a middle-aged human man—it would likely have found it truly difficult to interfere with this world sufficiently.
And that was indeed the case.
Ever since then, that overly cautious and diligent Arceus had stubbornly blocked the Imprison with its own body, while taking the opportunity to temporarily separate humans and Pokémon, carrying out a complete purge.
It remained there for tens of thousands of years.
As a split core formed after Dark Matter divided its Origin Power, it was unlike those Void Shadows born from negative energy, which could only cling to the shadows of other beings.
It had inherited some of Dark Matter's traits, along with abilities and power deliberately left behind for it. And what it needed to do was simple and clear.
