Dimensional Descent

Leonel frowned. There was something obvious that he was missing, and that was El'Rion's reaction. Since he had reacted so violently, and even insisted on joining himself, then it likely meant that he would do something about this and they weren't ignoring the problem. But... Wasn't this too nonchalant? If this was such a big matter, why were the Pluto sending a junior? Something was off here; he was missing large bits of information.

"If this matter is so important, why are they sending you?" Leonel asked.

El'Rion looked slightly offended when he heard this, but he quickly settled down.

"You don't understand."

"So politics," Leonel answered simply, and El'Rion seemed to be quite embarrassed because Leonel's answer was spot on, so much so that he didn't even want to continue explaining. But, in the end, his better judgement won out.

"There are many factions among the God Race, each one with different thoughts on how to deal with this situation. Most believe that passivism is the best choice. The last time the scales were tipped, the timeline toward destruction was accelerated."

Leonel nodded. The "good guys" won, and instead of that being a win, it ended up being a loss. And obviously, they couldn't side with the "bad guys" or else they'd just be shooting themselves in the foot. Indeed, it did sound best to just sit back and ignore everything, hoping that the natural path of balance would extend their lives for the longest. But this... also seemed quite defeatist, no? The mighty God Races were just waiting for their deaths? It was almost amusing.

Then again, maybe they were just like humans. El'Rion had said that the only Immortal in all of reality was Existence itself. That meant that even these "Gods" had finite lifespans. Maybe they felt that they would long be dead by the time the Northern Star was the only Star in the sky, it would be someone else's problem by then. They just wanted to hold onto the power they had for now.

Leonel raised an eyebrow.

They can destroy worlds and absorb them into their being. Just this action alone maintains the balance exactly as is. Every time a world is about to be destroyed, one of their Ancestors absorbs it instead. That action hides the destruction from the Northern Star and everything remains the same. The Northern Star hasn't moved any closer in the last at least

there an obvious weakness to this "solution"? What happened when one of their Ancestors died? The worlds they had absorbed would surely be noticed by the Northern Star then, at that point it
