    Within the confines of the Orion Sr System, arge colony of nautilus-shaped spaceships floated above a vast with wet and warm temperatures… Within this of swamps and jungles, there was an immense subterranean metropolis, the Mindyer Metropolis!


    In this paradise of grotesque brain-eaters, all of the Mindyers that were born in here that were sent outside to gather resources ad knowledge would gather here once every 5 years, making up the council.


    High Mindyers would lead the council, often called Elders. The strongest Mindyers who by chance, parasitized a talented host as a tadpole and transformed it into a High Mindyer were cataloged as a higher caste. They were seen as natural leaders and as powerful Psionic Sorcerers.


    They held the ability to cultivate incredibly quickly, and were naturally talented with the arts of Psionic Energy Maniption, having bigger brains and higher densities of Psionic Power, they were cataloged as geniuses and whenever one was born, they were given certain trials by the leader of the metropolis. After such trials werepleted, they would be given the title of Elders.


    The Leader of the metropolis, the entity within this subterranean horror city was no one else than… a giant brain!


    Yes, the leader of all Mindyers was named Elder Brain, it was a powerful entity and thest stage of the lifecycle of the Mindyers that had decided to not cultivate their powerful Brains anymore. It was the collective monstrosity made by hundreds of brains of Mindyers stuck together into a giant brain. This powerful monster held an immense collective mind with a malicious amount of psionic energy within, which it acquired by stacking up all the cultivated brains that the Mindyers that made it up were.


    This entity was considered to be at the level of a Deity and held within enormous psionic powers capable of even rivaling Gods. They were extremely rare as they were the leaders of enormous Mindyer Colonies, and because of this, they would often attack and assimte each other for supremacy, making their children, the Mindyers, fight against each other until a single Elder Brain reigned supreme within their territory, which often spanned an entire Sr System.


    Within the depths of this, inside of such a metropolis of grotesque mind eaters, the Elder Brain woke from its slumber, moving out of itsrge pool of brine, where it was kept from rotting away. Its long and soft pink tentacles moved around monstrously around, touching and sensing what it could not see as itcked eyes.


    Its presence was immense as it unleashed the powerful Psionic energy within it, so enormous that it was akin to a divinity!


    The Elder High Mindyers kneeled before their oldest ancestor and the great father of their colony, which was perhaps even stronger than most other colonies that once existed here, as it had assimted two other Elder Brains in the past century, growing so big and monstrous that it was already at the Great Deity level of power based on Psionic Energy levels alone.


    Its very presence created all sorts of illusory scenes, the aura of psionic energy even distorted space itself, as the High Mindyers who were given the title of Elders nced at the entity with fascination.


    "Oooohhh…! The Great Elder Brain has awoken!" said one of the eldest Elders, whose power exuded Demi Deity levels of psionic energy.


    It raised its staff which was adorned with a brain inside a sphere, as it exuded a faint light.


    All the other Mindyers quickly sat over their thrones, as the Elder Brain floated in the middle of the council, inplete silence.


    However… it suddenly spoke, with the voice of thousands of Mindyers, a transcendental voice filled with wisdom.


    Itcked a mouth, so it spoke directly into the minds of the Mindyers through Telepathy.


    "Once more, I gather all of you here, Elders. I desire to know the exact amount of expansion that our influence has done in thesest five years," it spoke.


    The eldest Elder spoke, as he quickly began to recall the many news he had memorized.


    He began to speak about their expansion into a neighborary system, which they had taken over a small filled with deserts. It wasn''t the best ce for Mindyers to live, though, and it was mostly unhabituated


    Nheless, it was still some progress.


    Alongside that, it was reported that there were no casualties amongst Mindyers in thest five years, pleasing the Elder Brain. It seemed that Mindyers had been lurking mostly in the shadows, manipting others to do their bidding, and keeping themselves safe from unnecessary dangers.


    The Elder Brain found this meeting rather okay but desired greater progress. The new younglings were soon to be born from the brine pool, and they would be eager to taste brains and take over a suitable host, so he quickly was about to call the hundreds of ves that each Mindyer fleet had brought to keep their race expanding every 5 years.


    However…


    "Excuse me, Great Elder Brain, but there was… someone that died. It was just recently, but… it was a young Elder High Mindyer that had gone to the Ginnungagap looking for ves…"


    Having no casualties of Mindyers ever since a war one hundred years ago, the Great Elder Brain lost it.


    "WHAT?! One of our kin has been ughtered by the filthy hands of the inferior living beings?! Why did you not report this to me before!"


    Mindyers, especially the Elder Brain, were bloodthirsty and vengeful as a race, any of the members that were killed outside of wars established by them would bring forth an immense crusade where they would chase down the one responsible and eat their brain and anyone close to him as revenge!


    The Great Elder Brain only epted the death of his kin when they willingly gave up their brains to him, other ways were uneptable!


    "Gather a fleet, three of you shall go to Ginnungagap and resolve this issue immediately!"


    "Yes, Great Elder Brain!"
