As servants or vassals of a supre being, the three guests of Alexander's universe were unnaturally confident in their prowess and the gifts they were blessed with.
Since they discovered this lower universe from the battle that raged in the true void so ti ago, they had kept a close eye on it.
The three beings were scouts, one group of many, of the coalition of universes--as they called it, and were traversing the true void when they felt extrely powerful waves in the distance.
They didn't approach before because they didn't want to give their positions away. And because of that reason, they were not able to gather any information on the being fighting the void creature.
They only knew a Veilwalker was battling the creature, and wherever a Veilwalker was, a universe was close by.
The three beings had returned to another universe acting as their base of operations, reported their discovery and were tasked with investigating.
It took a few months, but they found more gateways leading to that universe when they tailed a particular new class of void creatures heading for that universe.
Their first instruction was to investigate the state of the universe and decide if it was suitable for their purposes. Unfortunately, the surveillance artefacts were destroyed before they even gathered any data.
But it was enough, they knew a bit more about the Veilwalker of that universe. He or she was probably beyond the Semi-immortal stage.
A powerful stage, but still not enough to threaten them, not to ntion stop them. However, given their instructions, they had to report their discovery, no matter how little.
The three scouts returned, and this ti ca with another group called the core refiners who went towards another direction while they searched for the region where the Veilwalker lived.
Since they only had a guess of his level, a test was in order. Once they discovered the cluster of galaxies the Walker lived, they implented their plans in addition to a few more.
As beings beyond the Semi-immortal level themselves, their control over void energy and understanding of laws were beyond what most Veilwalkers they've encountered achieved.
Moreover, their status as beings from a higher universe made them all the more powerful, exceptionally so when compared to the universes in the lower strata.
"Finally," The only female among them, Zephyroth, said. "It's a male and he took the bait." The amusent in her tone was hard to miss.
"Stay put and make no movents." Drakorin, the leader of the three, said. "We still aren't exactly sure of his level."
"Tsk!" Zephyroth snorted. "You worry too much. How many beings out there can see through this technique?"
"Relax woman." The third mber, a male by the na of Oryndrax chipped in. "Things could develop in the direction you're itching for."
"Hehe…I know." Zephyroth smiled sinisterly. "Let's see how he handles this ss."
Under their gaze, they observed as Alexander flew straight for the storm, covering thousands of light years in seconds.
"He's slow." Oryndrax comnted. "Maybe we're being too careful?" He turned to the leader, waiting for his input.
"Not exactly." Drakorin muttered. "Look at him… There's not a hint of panic on his face. That is soone confident in their strength."
"And so is every Veilwalker we've encountered." Zephyroth shrugged. "All Walkers are the strongest in their universe. It would be weird if they had no confidence in their strength."
"Just be quiet and watch." Drakorin snapped, no longer in the mood to talk. The other two heeded his words and watched.
'How will he handle this?' Drakorin thought with narrowed eyes. He did not say anything to his companions, but there was sothing about this Veilwalker that made him anxious, and the feeling began shortly after he appeared.
'I am just thinking too much.' He subtly shook his head. 'No Veilwalker from a lower universe can achieve that level so soon.'
The trio watched as Alex plunged into the storm, quickly reaching the centre. Inside, their target ca to a stop, spreading out his arms as he unleashed a wave of void energy that spread outward.
Within seconds, the wave engulfed the entire storm, creating a sort of containnt barrier around the storm.
"He has the energy, at least." Zephyroth observed calmly, but the others remained silent, opting to only watch.
Then the target brought their hands towards their chest, appearing as if compressing sothing between their hands.
Following that action, the raging storm rumbled even more loudly as it slowly compressed under the pressure of the void energy. All matter within began to break down.
Stars were compressed until they reached singularity, and planets and other earth-like objects broke and crumbled to dust.

"He seems to rely on his energy more than the laws." Oryndrax noted. "We were right, he is only at the Semi-immortal stage."
"Not so fast." Drakorin interjected. "That is the solution he has chosen. It's not a revelation of his complete prowess. There's barely any usage of laws? You should know there is more than one way to handle this storm."
"Exactly." Zephyroth agreed. "But he chose the one that would take a lot of ti."
"Wait," Oryndrax narrowed his eyes as he noticed sothing else. "He's using his laws now."
The two focused and noticed the change. The matter within the storm was slowly turning into particles of energy, returning to their natural state.
And the rate at which it happened instantly placed him at a higher stage of power.
"Immortal." All three said at the sa ti. "And at the higher end, no less. Impressive." Drakorin added.
"Yeah…" Zephyroth smiled excitedly. "Too bad… It won't be enough."
"We'll confront him once he's done." Drakorin said a mont later and the other two nodded.
Ti slowly passed as they watched The Veilwalker of this universe compress the storm and give it permanence.
Then he would change the solidified energies back into harmless magical energies--a crude thod, but still worked.
"It took him five days to eradicate the storm." Zephyroth sneered, no longer impressed. "We should move in."
With that, she bolted towards Alex without waiting for her companions.
"Zephyroth!" Drakorin called out, cursing her impulsive nature as he and Oryndrax chased after her. "Don't engage just yet!"
Unfortunately, she was already gone, inching closer and closer to the ignorant Veilwalker.
