The planet of Amphibi is a planet ruled by swamps, since its creation long ago that it has been a rocky and desertic planet, until approximately 10 billion years ago, when storms around the entire planet changed its atmosphere drastically, filling the entire world with shallow waters that quickly began to harbor plant life and other alien life which began to be born. The entire planet has such a unique atmosphere of mist, although the swamps are also infested with fishes, giant bugs, and all sorts of amphibian life.

As the planet next to the "trash planet" of Ginnungagap, it doesn't have a good reputation, even less, as the sapient life of this planet are all creatures that originate from swamp-dwelling creatures they are rather secretive and dislike people from other areas, often acting hostile against them.

Of course, they had been living in their own haven for a while, but that changed a few dozen of years ago when many space pirate fleets began to gather inside this planet, using it as a secondary and "less cold and more humid" hiding place from the authority that governed this solar system.

Even with the strength they had, the Light Heralds were rather terrible at eradicating criminals in the entire solar system, so they often were able to slip off their grasp by hiding in faraway planets that the Light Heralds didn't bothered in checking, making these places heavens for the space pirates.

As this place had a way better habitable area than Ginnungagap, it became way more famously used by the pirates, and it was often used as their favorite outpost to hang out and trade in the black market. They had quickly begun the construction of various cities across this planet, and even began to pollute certain areas of it.

They also didn't went without noticing the inhabitants, they quickly began to spread their forces and enslave the people around, as they were proficient at magic but not strong enough to fight against the might of the technology of these pirates, the people was ultimately defeated by their military prowess, or well, were being defeated slowly, the end has not come yet for the brave race of Saphibians, who spread across the entire planet in many types of races, some specializing in other things than others. The nomadic races were able to keep up with the pirates, while the ones that were accustomed to their lands were easily caught and enslaved.

But of course, space pirates never work alone by themselves, there's always a bigger fish behind them, or several, dozens of bigger fishes. They often have a lot of richer backers, even strong figures of the universe, powerful beings above mere mortals who still require the resources they extract from the planet and also the slaves for their own goals.

Red Star flew across the space, quickly reaching the atmosphere of Amphibi, which was rich in oxygen, the massive vessel slowly descended into the surface, reaching the floor, and landing directly over it with ease. Chaos and his allies inspected their surroundings, finding out what was awaiting them, a massive world of swamps.

Chaos looked into the area, feeling that he had truly gone into an alien world. Unlike the incredibly rare swamps of his home world, these swamps were green and almost endless… it was as if it was a sea of shallow waters, like a gigantic and still lake that covered the entire planet. Rich plant life grew in here all around the place, developing in all sorts of ways.

The first thing they meet were large "trees" growing out of the swamps in large forms, resembling giant spiraling vines, they grew up to 10 meters and made up the majority of the entire place, making up a gigantic amount of massive trees. These places filled the majority of the planet in dense forests, where all sorts of large amphibia and fish life lurked around.

There were areas with dirt, yes, but the majority of the floor was made of Lilypad stuck to one another, but they were big and hard enough to even resist the heavy weight of the large Red Star without problem…

"This is a fascinating world, to say the least." Said Edward.

"It's very pretty yes," said Chaos.

"But this entire place stinks or is that my idea?" asked Aruliel.

"Stinks? Now that I think about, there's some kind of stinky foul smell." Said Abyss.

"Well, this entirely composed of swamps, the water is still so its constantly decomposing and producing foul gases, alongside that, the algae of this planet seem to be producing this stinky smell, there might be areas where it might not be like that." Said Edward.

The party began to explore the area around the Red Star. Chaos walked around finding out that the entire place was very peculiar, although he could fly if he wanted, he liked to walk if possible, and he felt nervous by doing so over giant leaves in the water. He didn't even knew how deep this water was, perhaps it was as deep as the oceans of his home world, or perhaps shallower…

"I can't help but think there's something watching over us, am I wrong?" he wondered.

"The place seems mostly safe, my lord, although there are some strange gigantic bugs flying atop the skies, look." Said Belphegor.

Indeed, while other planets had birds, in this planet there was no such thing as birds, but there were gigantic, winged bugs, the ones most common were the hybrid birds that had nymph stages in the water and then evolved flight, large dragonflies flew atop the skies, as big as trucks.

"I wonder if they taste any good." Wondered Chaos, looking at the place with a surprised expression.

"Certainly they look rather meaty and big." Said Belphegor.

"Dear, shall we go hunt some then?" asked Abyss.

"Hm, we should." Said Chaos.

Chaos and Abyss flew into the skies as they began hunting the massive dragonflies.

Meanwhile, Aruliel wandered around exploring the area, until she suddenly found a strange and massive slimy and fleshy piece of something sticking into the floor from the swamp below…

"Huh? I wonder what's this…"
