1831 All-Out or Retreat?
Meanwhile, near the tower's ruins...The situation didn't look good for the top fifty quantum nations.
After the initial confrontation with Apollo failed, the leaders retreated and held an emergency meeting away from the rift, involving everyone.
At the center of the meeting, a holographic screen was displayed, showing an unending stream of dark creatures surging forth from the rift without a hint of slowing down.
Quantix Prime and the rest of the leaders could only watch this happen with distressed expressions, feeling hints of despair arising from the bottom of their hearts.
They ought to feel this way when their attacks fail to do any damage to the infinite army of dark creatures.
The worst part? Those creatures ate matter and energies regardless of their nature, which implied it was near impossible to lock them down with time or spatial-based abilities.
Since those abilities were using quantum energy, those creatures were capable of chipping at them slowly.
With their massive numbers being put into consideration, those abilities fall flat just like the rest.
Rumble! Rumble!!
The sky and the ground rumbled under the weight of their numbers as they spread out across the ruins, a black tide washing over broken stone and scorched earth.
As they advanced, the dark creatures descended upon abandoned weapons, remains of fallen soldiers, and residual energies left from previous battles.
With each contact, the materials disintegrated, absorbed into the dark forms of the creatures, who grew more substantial and terrifying with every consumption!
If Felix or Lady Sphinx were to ever see how they do it, they would be reminded immediately of the Dark Reaction.
"We need everyone on the battlefield." Neutrino Flux, the head of the Quarklings nation, ordered with a solemn tone.
"Agreed, we have to engage now before the army reaches a much more terrifying number." Lumina Radiarch supported.
"It's the opposite." Timeon the Ageless shook his head, "We have to retreat to our territories and protect them. Those dark creatures' weakness is food. They can't exist for long without materials to consume and turn into dark energy, which supports their life."
"In other words, if we separated, the King of Darkness would be forced to focus only on a couple of territories before his army runs out of energy." Quantix Prime continued on.
"Exactly, if we fought him now, we are throwing away our armies."
Most of the leaders seemed to agree with his suggestion, understanding that standing together would do nothing but result in them getting killed.
It was the same as a herd of buffalos getting chased by a lioness. They stayed together for protection, hoping to god they wouldn't be the ones getting picked on by the predator.
Once a target was chosen, they all dipped away and left it as a sacrifice.
But, Entropy Master Xylos didn't think the same. He gave them a disgusted glance and insulted, "Bunch of cowards, are you planning to keep running away forever? If we don't act up right now while we are together, he will start coming out every five thousand years to pick us up one by one until we go all extinct."
"By then, the quantum realm will be his...Is this what you want?"
His insult didn't sit well with the majority as they gazed at him coldly. But, they knew that he was correct. Apollo was a constant threat to their realm, a virus that always came back.
Still...
"You think we want to?"
"He is untouchable within his army."
"If you are so good, then suggest a better plan."

"We do as Flux suggested." Entropy Master Xylos said calmly, "We gather our armies and hit him with everything we got while his army is still in its infancy stage."
"You know full well, how massive it gets if left to grow on its own."
Quantix Prime and the rest of the leaders eyed each other with serious expressions. They understood that Xylos was making a ton of sense, which wasn't usual, considering his chaotic persona.
'What do you think?'
Quantix Prime reached out telepathically to Timeon the Ageless alone. He was one of the oldest and wisest beings in the quantum realm, making his input always get taken with the highest regard.
'If this came from anyone else, I would have agreed, but not him.' Timeon the Ageless knitted his brows as he eyed Xylos, 'He is too unpredictable, too dangerous to ally with, and too unreliable to expect anything good from him or his army.'
'I thought so too.' Quantix Prime nodded, 'They can turn against us at any second for no reason.'
'Indeed.'
'So?'
Quantix Prime looked around him and noticed that most of the nations' seemed to have their decision altered.
It was expected when considering that most of those nations weren't as powerful as Vibronoxians or Chaosians.
If they were picked up by Apollo, they would have absolutely no choice but to either go extinct defending their nation or do a massive immigration to somewhere new.
In the quantum realm, where dangers lay in every corner, it was extremely challenging to find a safe, habitable area to build a nation.
That's why there were just fifty known nations when the quantum realm's size was infinite.
"Even if we fail to defeat him, I am certain we will weaken him enough he will be forced to retreat to the void." Lumina Radiarch stressed, "This will give us another five thousand years to either continue our search for the stone of reality or recoup our armies."
"I agree! This is much better than hurdling behind our wall, awaiting the call of the grim reaper."
"I would rather die fighting here than continue to hide and pray to survive after each five thousand years."
As expected, most of the weak nations' leaders joined Xylos' side, agreeing to commence a singular all-out battle right here, right now.
Quantix Prime and Timeon the Ageless shared a quick glance, realizing that their options were now limited.
They could either fight Xylos' suggestion and change everyone's minds or roll with it while knowing that their chances at victory were pretty slim...With the Chaosians being involved, their chances would be much slimmer.
Since this temporary alliance was based on votes, it would be too challenging to alter the result with just them. Unless they could offer a better arrangement than retreating and leaving it to fate.
'Do we just ditch the alliance as a whole and leave?' Timeon the Ageless suggested.
'No, this will separate us from the entire realm. No one would want to work or deal with us anymore.' Quantix Prime frowned.
This was a massive hit for the Vibronoxian Empire, which depended on outsiders quite heavily. After all, the Quantaar beast needed a constant supply of food and it came mostly from having a packed city.
'I think we should join the arrangement and commit to it, but keeping precautions against Sylox.' He suggested, 'The moment the situation turns bad, we can always retreat.'
'That shall do.' Timeon agreed with the proposal.
With them in favor of the plan, it didn't take long before the voting concluded.
The three most powerful nations united were enough to convince every nation to jump on their train, hoping to deal with this mess once and for all.
"Now, what's the plan?" Lumina Radiarch inquired with narrowed eyes as she gazed at the dark creatures devouring one reality after another.
