Essence of theZero Two

Drinking this vial filled with putrid black liquid caused something to happen… You know now that all that matters now is colliding…

• Your body is now merely the shell of your new vast incomprehensible self, an Incarnation of Negative Energy and Dark Matter itself.

• Your body is very malleable, you can be whoever you want to be. However, due to the fact that your very being is bleeding through your shell, your shell has certain permanent characteristics. Its sclera changed color to blood red, the pupil’s color turned pure black, and the irides turned to gold to symbolize that despite all the changes you are still yourself.

• If your shell doesn’t even have an eye, it will gain one on its torso or where its head should be… or all over the place. You may choose how it appears.

• By default, you are a massive orb that has a pair of detached, segmented wings with dark red feathers at the end, and a set of seven-colored concentric haloes on top of your head… which doesn’t denote that you’re an actual angel at all.

• As a being composed of Negative Energy, you have the power over darkness and corruption. Your power grows with each usage or over time.

• As a side effect of this, you are incredibly fast to the point you are faster than light as you are traveling at the speed of dark.

• Another side effect is that you are completely immune to negative status conditions as they strengthen you instead. (i.e. debuffs, mind control, etc…)

• Yet another side effect is that every being that is considered demonic, unnatural, or evil will find themselves wanting to work with or serve you in utmost loyalty. Yes, this includes anti-heroes.

• You can produce lesser versions of yourself in the form of a dark cloud with a single eye on it. You control them like a hivemind and you can even switch positions with any of them in a near instant. You can also use them to possess anyone or anything to become a part of your hivemind.

• If you have any Essence, then you can use them as a vector for said Essence. Said Essence will be at full power as they are merely you that was splintered off of the main body.

• Despite your power being darkness and corruption, you have minor access to elements other than those two. As your powers grow, so too does your connection to the elements.

• This power is not magic but reality warping to a degree that no one can challenge you, even the very primordials who embody such concepts.

• You can copy powers with a touch or through sight alone albeit heavily corrupted. A fireball would carry a taint of your power and will spread flames that would corrupt anything it touches into a lesser version of yourself along with burning things around the area.

• You have nigh-infinite strength akin to the Star Warriors of old and infinite endurance and stamina, allowing you to function without sleeping for eternity.

• You have immense durability.

• You are nigh-immune against Positive Energy, or Star Matter, the very thing that can actually hurt or kill you.

• For the sake of posterity, this means Archdeity-grade divine powers.

• Due to your nature, you have gained the power to travel anywhere across the multiverse.

• You have immense intellect and are a master strategist and tactician, allowing you to command your force with ease.

• You have an intrinsic understanding of the technology of the Ancients. Allowing you to create clockwork stars that grant wishes. Unfortunately, you don’t have the materials to create most of the technologies that you now understand. You must get the materials first to use the knowledge given here.

• Optionally, should you possess the Essence of the Star Warrior, you may instead opt to get a copy of Zero Two or the original Dark Matter instead of Kirby. They will function as if they have this Essence but they will obey you as their superior. Do keep in mind that they would probably conquer everything in the universe if you don’t command them personally to not do so.

• In the core of your very existence is a nascent Void. Something that is able to contain immense Positive or Negative Energy.

• Should you wish to do so and gather Positive Energy, you may be reborn as a Star Warrior like Kirby, albeit with certain powers from this Essence inverted. Darkness and Corruption are inverted to Light and Purification. Dark Matter will then be inverted into Star Matter. Your sclera would normalize back to normal and your wings will still be the same, but the red feathers will become blue.

• Do note that this change is not permanent. You can still revert back by gathering Negative Energy.

• This Essence cannot be removed, destroyed, or stolen. Once you get it, it will be there with you forever, even after you get reincarnated somehow.
