The Day After Tomorrow

Xin and Xin wandered.

Like most members of their respective races, they wandered, searching.

Calming disasters, resolving conflicts.

Healing wounds.

And searching for the sources of those troubles.

"We're going to a place called Aitkan."

"So? What's worth mentioning about that? We've been to countless places like it."

"Aitkan has a fragment."

"A fragment? Oh! Then what are we waiting for?"

Xin and Xin wandered an immense distance through the Immaterium.

Holding hands, they arrived at a place like a bubble.

Xin stretched out his hand, and The Veil accepted them, automatically carrying them through it and into the real universe.

"Business first."

A war was raging in this real universe.

Powerful species from multiple extragalactic galaxies had gathered within the Milky Way, waging terrible wars across countless worlds.

The fleets of multiple species converged at the very center of the Milky Way, and their war tore apart the heavens.

The creatures of many worlds were utterly annihilated merely by being caught in the aftermath of those warring weapons.

The two descended upon one such battlefield planet.

The armies on both sides immediately noticed the two strange beings.

Xin appeared golden. He looked like a mass of energy with hands and feet.

And Xin appeared as... colorless, without any describable form, presenting only as a blur to the armies of every faction.

"Cease fighting."

Xin spoke.

His voice echoed through countless dimensions of the real universe.

The communication devices, ears, and all manner of unimaginable technological devices existing in every dimension simultaneously received those two words: "Cease fighting."

The voice was even automatically translated into countless languages so that everyone who heard it could understand.

What kind of being was this?

Every creature pondered that question.

What kind of being could accomplish such a thing without relying on any device?
