The absolute seal
At the beginning of time, a being named Axedeus appeared.
In an eternal wind where all was empty, his very existence shaped chaos.
His power was so colossal that with every passing moment, the universe expanded along with him.
But there was a problem.
His power doubled with every instant.
He couldn't stop it, or even control it.
So, he locked his energy in a nameless place, a prison that didn't stop his growth, but did contain it.
He was like a god stopping time so as not to destroy what exists.
Eons passed.
And when his power reached a critical point, the seal broke.
The universe exploded in size.
It expanded at an abysmal speed.
Axedeus awoke after ages of sleep.
And when he looked, everything was still empty.
There was no life.
There was no form.
Only existence.
He still couldn't create life, because his power was still too unstable.
So he made a decision:
to design a body.
He spent centuries perfecting it.
A creation he called: the Vessel.
An entity capable of containing himself.
A body for his soul.
When he finished it, he beheld his new form:
A tall man, with blue skin, long hair, brilliant golden eyes, and a large, radiant halo floating behind his head.
Gazing at his reflection, he said in a deep voice:
"This is my absolute seal. Now my true creation will begin."
Axedeus—or rather, the Vessel—began to walk through the universe.
And with each step, everything vibrated.
The void trembled at his presence.
Then he decided to strengthen and organize chaos.
First, he created a great palace.
And around it, he floated twenty spheres.
Each one shone with intense light, containing multiple realities within it.
Each sphere became the vessel for an entire universe, containing the weight of all the worlds within.
Then he created his children.
First, Manuel, the strongest and the first of all.
He gave him Universe 7, the largest and closest to Axedeus's throne.
Then came the others: 19 brothers.
One of them was Mashdo, who guarded Universe 1, the second most powerful.
But from his creation, Mashdo felt a strange hatred toward Manuel.
He envied him for having a larger universe, more light, and for being closer to his father.
Axedeus knew of this hatred, but never paid attention to it.
He knew that Manuel could defeat all his brothers… at the same time if necessary.
Peace reigned.
Until, one day, Mashdo crossed the sacred boundaries.
He entered Universe 7… to kill his brother.
But he didn't count on Manuel's true power.
And then, in an instant...
