Thalassarch Nereon.
A monstrous thing whose actions had led to the deaths of more lifeforms than any being could honestly count. One could not even begin to estimate the trillions of realms and domains that lived within a single Observable Existence, let alone the lives inside each of them.
And inside an Observable Existence made mostly of water, the number went somewhere past innumerable. The seas held more life than the land ever could, layer beneath layer beneath layer of it, choirs in the currents and cities in the trenches and peoples in the dark who had never once seen a surface. An ocean-Observable-Existence was not a domain with life in it. It was life, all the way down, packed into every drop!
This being had killed all of it. Every last drop of it. Trying to protect it!
It was an unfortunate and utterly horrific scenario to find oneself standing in.
