The cruiser spaceship drifted through the silent vacuum of space without a defined destination. The crescent-shaped vessel sported a matte obsidian hull fractured by glowing crimson lines resembling biological veins.
The words [Intergalactic Breeder] were etched across its underbelly in bright red lettering.
The name alone sparked riots on civilized planets. The Galactic Council had tried to censor it on every media stream, but people always found a way to say it.
Some thought it was a joke while others thought it was a threat disguised as humor. The galactic council didn't care. They had already branded it the "most dangerous anomaly in known existence."
And that anomaly was snoring inside it. But today, the universe had run out of patience.
Without warning, space rippled. Wormholes tore open in every direction.
From above, a monstrous juggernaut of a warship emerged, dwarfing Xavier's drifting cruiser by a hundred times. Its shadow swallowed light.
Then another ship appeared on the right. Then one on the left, another one from below. One from behind. Until thirteen titanic ships, each flying flags of different federations and empires, had encircled Xavier's ship in a perfect kill box.
Each ship belonged to a different empire, and yet, for this moment, they had united under one command.
[GALACTIC EMERGENCY BROADCAST - PUBLIC EXECUTION STREAM BEGINNING IN 10… 9…]
A broadcast hijacked every communication feed across the quadrant to project a synchronized execution.
An automated voice echoed across every open frequency in the quadrant. "Subject: Xavier. You are hereby sentenced to immediate public execution under Intergalactic Order 773-C."
The robotic announcer listed the charges without pausing for breath. "Crimes include the destruction of seventeen planets and the erasure of two minor galaxies. Additional offenses involve unlawful interference with universal constants, kidnapping of time itself, tax evasion, and public indecency in twelve space stations."
"You are also charged with unauthorized use of a forbidden relic during peace talks, destroying cause-and-effect, impregnating the Quantum Maiden, illegal breeding of cross-dimensional species, public nudity in religious zones, attempted flirtation with the AI popess, and manslaughter totaling over three hundred billion lives."
"You have ten seconds to surrender," the voice finished. "Ten... Nine... Eight..."
The countdown began echoing across the comms while the top hatch of the cruiser slid open.
The top hatch of the cruiser slid open. Xavier ascended on a circular platform while stretching his arms above his head. He wore only dark trousers and black gloves. Glowing golden circuits traced across his bare chest and neck like celestial blueprints carved directly into his flesh.
He looked up with half-lidded crimson eyes and let out a prolonged yawn as the voice counted down to five.
Xavier muttered a curse under his breath and lifted his hands. He grabbed the fabric of his gloves and pulled them off his fingers. His black hair immediately shifted to pure white, and every strand glowed like starlight.
The crimson color in his eyes transitioned into a brilliant gold. The celestial circuits across his torso ignited into a blinding display of divine energy.
However, the surrounding fleets refused to wait for the countdown to finish. Hundreds of warships fired their primary batteries at once. Planet-busting beams, nuclear shells, and gravity warheads blitzed across the void directly toward the unshielded cruiser.
Xavier simply looked at the incoming barrage and raised his right hand. The myriad of destructive beams and missiles froze instantly in space. The projectiles halted mid-flight and hung like insects caught in amber.
He turned his palm toward the frozen attacks and closed his fist. The suspended weapons shimmered brightly and crumbled into harmless golden dust.
"Isn't it just common sense?" Xavier asked while scratching his jaw. "You do not interrupt a man when he is sleeping, eating, or creampie-ing. I take one nap, and all of you start feeling brave. You think teaming up makes you hunters. Go ahead and try it again."
The fleets hesitated briefly before firing a second volley. Bigger beams and world-ending artillery erupted from the warships. Xavier let out a disappointing sigh. "I was going to let this go. You really wanted to see what happens when I take these gloves off."
He raised his hand lazily and turned the second wave into golden dust. The sheer energy radiating from his body caused nearby wormholes to collapse inward.
"You all seem to think I am running," Xavier said, rolling his shoulders. "I am not the one in danger here. I could erase all thirteen of your ships with a thought. You have ten seconds to get out of my sight before I get bored.
"Ten," he started his countdown.
One ship warped out of the sector instantly. "Nine," Xavier counted. Two more vessels followed the first. "Eight." Four additional ships abandoned the blockade. "Seven. Six. Five." Another cruiser blinked out of existence.
Xavier watched the remaining vessels hold their positions and shook his head in disappointment.
"Four... Three... let's skip the rest," Xavier decided. Suddenly, he extended one arm to the left and the other to the right. Two rogue planets surged out of the nearby asteroid belt.
They hurtled toward the center of the remaining formation at terrifying speeds and collided with a catastrophic impact. The trapped warships crumpled into twisted metal between the crashing worlds.
Xavier hovered upward from his ship and drifted smoothly through the resulting wreckage. He phased directly through the hull of a surviving flagship just before the vessel detonated into a shower of sparks. Finding an intact satellite camera drifting amidst the floating scrap, he glided closer and offered a bright smile to the lens.
"They called me a monster and a walking apocalypse," Xavier spoke directly to the trillions of viewers tuning in across the galaxy. "Armadas and empires tried to stop me with fleets that blocked out stars. I wiped them out because they pissed me off."
He ran a hand through his white hair and glanced at the floating wreckage. "They said no human should possess this level of power. They could not understand the truth. The power flowing through me was earned and carved directly into my soul. Nobody gifted or stole it."
Xavier raised his middle finger directly at the camera lens. "And to think I was just a punching bag in a school hallway three years ago."
He dropped his hand and vanished into the starry void.
