Log Entry #120: A Hollow Victory

DATE: 95II.07.10 | SOURCE: Aegis Initiative - Tactical Debrief

The Void Eater's () motives are becoming terrifyingly clear. It appears to be drawn to realities suffering from extreme energy fluctuations—specifically, those in the final stages of the Architect Plague's consumption. As the Odyssey watched, helpless, the colossal serpent descended upon the very same dying Grid we had previously observed (). The Architect's Krystal-Block formations and Titan defenders attempted to fight back, but their attacks were simply... erased. The Eater did not destroy the plague; it consumed it, along with the entire reality it had infected.

In a single, silent moment, one of the Architect's footholds in the Nexus was gone. It was a victory against our ultimate enemy, but one we had no part in and one that came at the cost of an entire universe. The Void Eater is not an ally. It is a cosmic scavenger, a force of absolute nullification that follows the Architect Plague like a shadow. This presents the Aegis Initiative with a horrifying new strategic dilemma: do we fight to save infected Grids, only to potentially see them consumed? Or do we let the Eater "cleanse" them, erasing both the plague and any hope of saving the inhabitants?
