Godeater continued its advance throughout the Milky Way galaxy completely unabated and unhindered. Absolutely nothing and no-one could stop it.
Worst of all, it did so patiently.
It could certainly have consumed the rest of the galaxy in short order by reflecting itself in every direction. But it instead chose to be slow and systematic, and pushed its own borders outward carefully.
The deep, dark void reached out in every direction and pulled in everything closest to it into shadow.
Except for three special cases.
Three of Dendrus’ mirror satellites adjusted themselves towards systems far past Godeater’s growing borders. They pierced deep into the three galactic territories, and struck deep in their hearts, at the very cores of their civilizations tens of thousands of light years away.
It struck three specific celestial bodies at the exact same time, and began to convert them all in earnest.
