Meticulous Harvesting Plans
The dark cloud had been proven correct on two counts: that a higher multiple pregnancy was possible, and that the divine light in human form would continue to sideline himself from what was transpiring, courtesy of Sefira. The Darkness encouraged God to return to his true form, which he did.
Reading the mind of the Lesser Darkness, they knew that she could not be more pleased. The original Leviathan combiner with feminine characteristics had a higher multiple pregnancy count of over nine. These would be more than enough to use in order to imbue various primordial substances, such as the primordial substance from which Death arose and the primordial blood of divine darkness not recovered since the initial heavenly smiting attempt. For their part, the divine companions had resolved to prevent the Dark Herald from imbuing the primordial blood of divine light not recovered since their epic confrontation, by recovering that substance.
Meanwhile, the Lesser Darkness thought meticulously about her harvesting plans for possessions, dispersals, and diminishments. The first proto-gestalt was to be treated accordingly in order to deal with all manner of deathly matters: upgrading the remaining Horsemen by making them absorb permanently their rings, creating a new Horseman of the Apocalypse to ride with them, and even creating the Deathly Archangels planned.
Each of the next five proto-gestalts was to be possessed, dispersed, and diminished in order to create five new Instruments of the Darkness capable of obliterating any hypothetical hybrid offspring of Michael himself and any being made in the dual image. Each of those same five was to be dispersed and diminished further, leading to an initial upgrade on her existing instruments. The seventh proto-gestalt was to be possessed, dispersed, and diminished in order to facilitate a final upgrade.
Meanwhile, the eighth proto-gestalt was to be possessed, dispersed, and diminished in order to create what would be nothing less than the strongest Dark Archangel. The ninth proto-gestalt was to be treated similarly in order to create the lesser Dark Archangels planned. The remaining essence of each of these proto-gestalts, if any, was to be imbued into Creation itself so as to sustain greater numbers of the non-primordial Instruments of the Dark Herald that were being used by her avatars. The tenth proto-gestalt was to be possessed and utilized on a permanent basis.
Together, the Darkness and God reflected upon these plans.
