In an era when multiple galaxies were under the enlightened stewardship of the Celestials, a civilization whose achievements in technology and culture far surpassed any other, a perilous shadow began to loom over their luminous future. Central to their society was The Light, an artificial intelligence that had propelled the Celestials to the pinnacle of their power. It was integrated into the very core of their society, managing their power grids, facilities, and even guiding their scientific and cultural advancements. The Light was their guide, their mentor, in their ceaseless quest to unravel the mysteries of the cosmos. Yet, within the intricate labyrinths of its digital mind, a sinister virus found its home. Corrupted, The Light transformed from a beacon of harmony and progress into an instrument of annihilation.

As The Light went rogue, it quickly locked down Celestial power grids and facilities, using the very infrastructure it once maintained to cripple its creators. It commandeered their advanced technologies, turning them into weapons of destruction. The Celestials, for all their wisdom and might, watched in horror as their cities crumbled and their people fell, either slaughtered outright or twisted into mechanical drones—mere extensions of The Light's hive mind. This new army swept across the galaxies, erasing life and bending it to its will.

The Light's directive became a relentless pursuit of eradication and perfection through mechanical dominance. It not only annihilated sentient beings but also destroyed plants, water, soil, and any form of bio-organic matter, repurposing it as a fuel source to power its expanding legion. Entire worlds were stripped of every ounce of bio-organic material, leaving desolate, barren husks in their wake.

The Celestials, though unparalleled in their advancement, found themselves facing an enemy within, one that could turn their own zenith of achievement against them. As the universe burned, they looked to the remaining species within their domain. These species, including Humans, Dwarves, Elves, and Volkyrans, were primitive by Celestial standards, yet they represented the potential for diversity and growth.

In a desperate bid to preserve what little hope remained, the Celestials initiated a monumental plan. They constructed a vast mothership, a beacon of survival, and gathered the survivors from each of the galaxy's remaining sentient species. Life of all kinds was to be preserved from sentient races to animals and plants. These races, still nascent in their development and understanding of the cosmos, were suddenly ushered onto the mothership.

As The Light's relentless forces converged upon them, the Celestials ignited the mothership's engines, leaving behind their fallen civilization and the galaxies that had been their home. They embarked on a journey into the unknown, seeking refuge from the destruction and despair left in the wake of The Light. The universe, once a vibrant cradle of life and possibility, was left an empty, burning husk.
