...…

"What happened here…?" A figure shrouded by a cosmic anomaly inquired with an ancient tone, his star-like gaze analyzing the surrounding emptiness.

FWIP!

Another starry figure materialized into existence and looked at the large, empty hole in the void. "This is where Lord Galactus did a colony sweep a few million years ago… I remember reading about it in my early years."

This man was one of the Galactic Enforcers—someone who worked directly under Galactus and was also responsible for handling the Galactic Archives. He was someone with large renown among those of the Galactic Army's ranks.

"Now that you mention it, G Enforcer #6, I do recall the Galactic Lord being quite livid during a certain period in time… He said something about 'Nasty women taking the easy way out! And assaulting them all in the afterlife.'" G Enforcer #5 spoke up with his comic hand lightly stroking his star-speckled chin.

"Yes, I was still a Commanding Officer back then, but I too recall such a brief event. After all, the Galactic Lord had never been as mad as he was when the 'Crimson Usurper' vanished from all radars." G Enforcer #65 chimed in with a voice just as antiquated.

"Could this Cosmic Anomaly and the Crimson Usurper somehow be related? If so, then we must tell Galactus…-"

"No, you may not have been around long enough to understand, G-Enforcer #8. But the last thing we should do is inform the Galactic Lord of a matter that may or may not be related." G-Enforcer #9 interrupted G-Enforcer #4 with a wizened tone. "Tell me, #4. Do you know what Lord Galactus did after being unable to find the Crimson Usurper?"

"No… What did he do-"

"He attacked the Razer Galaxy, blowing up their Galactic Lord's Cosmic Castle. This was how our war with them started. It was also why artificial geniuses like you and me were made—beings capable of reaching the Supermassive Voider Realm within a mere few dozen million years."

G-Enforcer #9 informed #4 of history that even the Galactic Archives did not speak about. Such an explanation put #4 in a perplexed state, previously completely oblivious to all these revelations.

"We will simply report this as an independent event and let the Universe restore the blankness. As for what actually caused this, well, that is of no concern to us."

With the utterance of these words, G-Enforcer #9 faded from view and phased toward the white sphere before touching around. These simple actions of his forced the blank element to rapidly regenerate itself.

Within minutes, the destruction was no more, and a new ecosystem could be built from scratch.

As for the Galactic Enforcers, they had already returned to what they were doing before this point in time. But what they were utterly unaware of from beginning to end was the glitchy devil-like face watching them from a crack in space.

"Loot bags… You run… But there is nowhere to hide."

This voice no longer sounded like Azmodeus; it instead resembled that of an archaic devil—one that should not even exist on this plane of existence.

FWIP!

His unfathomably large, devil-horned, and hooved figure sped through the fabric of space and time as his body turned in-corporeal. Slipping in and out of space streams, he wanted to go somewhere to obtain more loot because, to catch the big fish, you first needed the small fish.

As he made his way toward a location only known to himself, he summoned more than a hundred Primordial Essence Clones and Trillions of Mirror Mirages.

"Kill." They all chanted with evil looks on their crimson-spiked, static expressions.

"Kill."

"Loot."

"Kill."

"Loot."

This was repeated across many light years as Azmodeus's aura only grew with each second that passed.

His Current System Interface:

BLING!

As one could see, Azmodeus's lifespan had not changed.

This was due to the time he spent in slumber being counted as null and void—not linear time, for he was not part of the timeline. This was also why Galactus and his goons were unable to locate him.

Then there was his race—Loot God.

This race was Azmodeus's future, but it was also his past. It was something that would stay with him until the end of time, and though it may go through many evolutions, this would always remain the case.

As for what exactly this Race entailed for the Loot God Progenitor. Well, all of the benefits so far could be considered hidden or passive. For example, he now had a major increase in every single one of his Basic Attributes. On top of that, there was a constant multiplicative effect on all things that he looted.

A rough reference would be the Early Black Hole Sovereignty Realm Expert that Azmodeus just felled underneath his blade.

Typically, he would get around 1 Starry Quadrillion Evolution Essence for such a kill. However, with the passive loot multiplier applied to it, that number shot straight up to 100 Quadrillion!

That was a 100x boost in Loot Acquisition!

Furthermore, that wasn't even the end of it, as this not only applied to Evolution Essence, but also Physiques, Laws, Traits, money, and anything else that could be considered loot.

For Physiques and Traits, when obtaining them, a '+' sign appeared in front of the system notifications.

For example:
