Boss Slick raised his head and looked at the Chaos Star overhead. He had ascended to godhood before the Eight-Pointed Star once before, so he knew the process well.
But... why was he moving so slowly this time, when he was heading toward the Chaos Star himself? Why had he still not entered the Eight-Pointed Star after all this time?
Reflected in Boss Slick's eyes, the Chaos Star was growing, growing at a terrifying speed! It grew larger than a star system, larger than the Eye of Terror, larger than the Milky Way!
The Dark King's ascension had lit up the final part of the Chaos Star, completing it and strengthening its power. The Eight-Pointed Star would expand faster and faster until it covered the entire universe.
Viewed from above the Milky Way, the Chaos Star resembled an enormous shadow, a shadow undergoing spatial expansion on the scale of the Big Bang.
Becoming the Dark King naturally came at a price. In essence, it meant completing the Chaos Star and the Warp, making them stronger and binding them to the very source of the universe.
According to the Black Library's calculations, Boss Slick had to complete the plan just before the Chaos Star took root in the source of the universe. Otherwise... the ultimate result would be an invincible Warp, a universal constant, an existence akin to the four fundamental forces.
I have to go faster!
Boss Slick waved his hand, unleashing more of his mechanical authority. Turrets piled up into mountains, forming walls that surrounded him.
At their center, Boss Slick gathered all his strength and leaped toward the Chaos Star, becoming a meteor, yet moving faster than any meteor.
Around him, ten thousand cannons roared in unison. At their center, he shot toward the heavens.
