The Interloper
En Route to Yggdrasil Tree, Northern Sinjoh Mountains
Maridia
Affected RPers: All

Whilst he was able to teleport wherever he pleased, Nicodemus Chess was disturbed to find that the Yggdrasill Tree had a psychic barrier placed around it. This barrier was designed specifically to reflect the magic of Alvaj-Xoc and prevent him from approaching the Tree without prior warning to Arceus. Chess used the Orb of the Taskmaster to evaluate how close he could actually teleport to the Tree could be without being blown back and dropped into a sun. Once he had established that point, he used his Orb of Transcendence to teleport there and continued towards the Yggdrasil Tree on clawed foot.

This would be easier if Darius was still around, Chess thought after having almost slipped on a loose stone. Darius Rook was his loyal manservant in the original universe he came from. Rook had died during a last ditch rescue operation of the Interloper from Kihara itself. And damn that Jin Omnis for trapping me in Kihara and ruining my plans. Ever since his original plan unraveled in his home universe, Chess used the two Orbs he had secured from Darius Rook, the orange Orbs of the Taskmaster and purple Transcendence, to steal the remaining five Orbs throughout the galaxy. He found the white Orb of the Lifegiver, which made him immortal; the red Orb of Summoning, which allowed him to spawn nightmares into this world from only his imagination; the yellow Orb of Supremacy, an infinite power source; the green Orb of Nature's Purity, which gave him a litany of environmental-based powers; and the blue Orb of Alteration, which allowed him to bend all matter to his will. Having gathered all seven, he was able to merge them into a singular Rainbow Orb with all the combined powers. Using the Blue Orb's powers, he shrank the orb down to the size of a pea and embedded the Orb in his corpus callosum between the two hemispheres of his brain.

The Orbs were Alvaj-Xoc's final gift to Chess' home universe. Within that universe, Diabora was a creature of ancient history, completely defeated by the combined efforts of many different forces combining. Diabora's corpse left his seven crystallized Chakra points, the Crystals of Power, alive and well within the universe. Seeing his opportunity to revel, the Alvaj-Xoc of Chess' universe invested all of his remaining powers into the Crystals of Power, hypercharging them into the Orbs of Eternity that Chess possessed.

Since being freed from Kihara, Chess had been bouncing between universes, trying as hard as he could to put his plans into motion to completely dominate one. No matter where he went though, hundreds of years of his planning were always dashed by some random, unpredictable factor that the Interloper never could have thought of. After the third or fourth attempt, it dawned on Chess: he just needed to destroy the parallel universes in which he did not succeed in conquering all Creation to ensure that there would be a universe that he did. After this revelation, he began to travel from universe to universe, freeing each universe's Diabora and super-charging it, letting the Destroyer run amok and end all life as they knew it. As far as Chess could tell, this universe was the last of several thousand universes he had slated for destruction. With this universe gone, the universe had had chosen to dominate would no longer have any possible factors preventing him from ruling. From there, he would muster his forces and conquer Axiom Nexus, the extradimensional multiversal hub world that was a meeting and marketplace for all multiversal and time aware beings.

It wouldn't be long now. Chess could see the massive figure of the Yggdrasil Tree, Diabora's Prison, on the horizon. Soon, everything would be his.
