"You… What are you doing?" the Constellation got angry. Space cracked around him as an attack came flying toward Ning.
Ning acted unbothered and pushed the attack upward with his free hand. The projectile from the attack flew into the sky and exploded with a massive bang that sent shockwaves even dozens of kilometers away.
Everyone close by had to close their ears because of the sound. Ning, however, wasn't bothered once more and looked at the second attack that was coming out from the Constellation.
This time, he wasn't planning on blocking it. The people saw the attack get close to Ning's body where even space and light were waving around from the power.
However, just as it was about to land, the attack disappeared.
The group of people that were watching the situation were wide-eyed in shock as it was not just the attack that had suddenly vanished. Rather, Stryxus himself was gone from the scene.
All that was left was a calm Ning who dusted off his clothes before giving a single look towards the group that was standing here and teleporting away.
Ning arrived on a deserted island in the middle of the pacific ocean. As soon as he arrived, he sat down and closed his eyes.
The next moment, he found himself entering his inner world where he had thrown in Stryxus just moments ago.
Outside, Ning had the power of a physical body that could rival gods. It was easily one of the strongest objects in the entire universe.
However, since he couldn't come inside with his old body, Ning was there with a newly made weak body.
The Constellation looked at the vast darkness and a loss of connection to his own system. "You bastard! Where am I?" he shouted and attacked Ning once more.

A powerful glowing ball of energy flew at Ning. However, before it could reach Ning, it fizzled away like a drop of water on a hot metal.
"What?!" Stryxus was shocked. He couldn't understand why that had just happened. Why was his attack so easily destroyed?
Fear started growing in his heart as he looked at the man in front of him. Was this even a man? Who exactly was he?
"Why are you doing this? Where am I?" he asked.
"You're in my world," Ning said calmly. "I am called Ning, but I assume you know me quite well since you decided to manipulate the portal I came through."
The Constellation's face shrunk, as his non-existent eyes were trying to narrow. "No way, it's you?" it asked. "You're the one that came from the fourth universe."
"I am," Ning said as anger filled his voice. "And you decided to play with it. I didn't mind it when I learned that you had kept it open long past its due time. I didn't even mind that it was because you kept it open that today's tragedy happened. It was just a coincidence, as unfortunate as it may be."
"However, even after all of that, instead of trying to do something about the disaster you were in some part responsible for, you instead chose to further yourself. You didn't even come to help the humans that were in so much need," Ning said.
His voice grew even harsher as he spoke. "Not a single one of you did. You, and the other Constellations, you think you are so strong that you can't be touched, so you do as they please."
"But you're not," Ning said. "In my eyes, you are no weaker than an ant with broken legs. You can't even run away from me."
"Today, you shall be an example for the others on what exactly not to do. Today, you and the other Constellations shall see that there is an end to you."
"I am your end."
Stryxus' face turned dark when he realized that his very essence was being stripped away piece by piece.
"No… what is happening to me?" he asked. He couldn't make sense of what was happening. "Who are you?"
"I am a holder of the Energy system. Your worst nightmare," Ning said.
The Constellation had to dig through his memory to remember where he had heard that term. When he did, his eyes went wide as he finally understood who he was up against. "No way! No, that can't be true. No…" he refused to believe it at all. After all, how could he be so unlucky to meet something that was so cosmically rare that finding one in an entire universe was considered impossible by many?
After all, there was an infinite number of universes, but there were only a finite number of hosts.
'No, I have to tell them. Warn them. If they can find some other will, I can be free,' the Constellation thought. Suddenly, a wave of energy was released from him that looked to find the closest constellation and pass on the information he had learned here today.
However, when he noticed the small smile on Ning's face, he started worrying. Even as his life itself was being stripped away by Ning, he asked, "Why are you smiling?"
"Did you really think that would work? That you could send a message and I would allow it?" Ning asked. "You seem to forget what I was saying earlier. You are in my world."
"Everything that happens here, or will happen here will be according to my will. This is my domain and I am its master," Ning said as he raised his hands.
"Now, time for you to die completely."
The final part of the transfer was sped up as Ning pulled away the energy from the Constellation's body.
Stryxus screamed and shouted. He tried attacking and then running away. But in a world that followed Ning's will, any action he did was useless. Even begging wasn't going to save him at this point.
The last motes of light that made up his body disappeared as the energy that was him was transferred over to Ning. After that, Stryxus, the Constellation, was forever gone.
