Lucien let one of the translucent black cube float before him.
With a thought, he opened it.
Space unfolded, and something vast slid out.
The Skywhale.
Lucien watched it for a long moment.
Then he let his Divine Sense brush across the creature.
Pleasant. Not gentle, exactly. More like a storm that had no interest in lightning today.
Among void-born beasts, that alone was rare.
Void monsters did not climb "Mortal to Eternal" the way practitioners did.
They emerged already written, and what changed with time was not their realm, but their stability, their instincts, and how much of themselves they could express without unraveling.
So the Big World did not measure them by realm.
It measured them by Threat Tiers.
It's not a ranking of virtue nor was it a judgment of "strong" or "weak."
But a practical question.
How many deaths would it cost to stop them?
Lucien's mind supplied the framework almost automatically.
Threat Tier I: Skybreakers
