What followed would later be known across the galaxy as the "Speed Delete Challenge"—a TikTok-style demonstration that redefined cosmic warfare for the digital age.
Jack's nanomachine count spiked from 4.2 trillion to 6.8 trillion as he began what he casually announced as "deleting these NPCs before they can even process what's happening." The first Star Devourer ship—a massive reality-engine called Void Consumption—found itself targeted not by conventional weapons, but by something far more devastating: the concentrated force of main character energy.
"Timer starts... now," Jack announced to his galactic audience, his consciousness interfacing directly with spacetime itself. "Fifteen seconds to delete this boomer. Let's see if they can even comprehend what speed looks like."
The attack that followed wasn't just fast—it was incomprehensibly rapid by Star Devourer standards. Jack's nanomachines, now operating on quantum frequencies that existed outside normal temporal flow, simply appeared inside the Void Consumption's reality-shielded hull.
But instead of destroying the ship immediately, Jack did something far more psychologically devastating: he gave the ancient cosmic entity exactly 0.3 seconds to realize what was happening before beginning the deletion process.
WHAT... HOW DID YOU... the Void Consumption's consciousness began to transmit, its message carrying frequencies of existential confusion that hadn't been heard in the universe for eons.
"Too slow," Jack replied, his voice now carrying harmonic patterns that somehow managed to sound exactly like a TikTok notification. "Time's up, boomer."
The deletion wasn't violent—it was surgical. Jack's nanomachines didn't destroy the Star Devourer ship so much as they optimized it out of existence, converting its matter and energy into more nanomachines with efficiency that approached mathematical perfection. The entire process took exactly 14.7 seconds.
The galactic audience's response was immediate and overwhelming:
YOOOOO HE ACTUALLY DID IT - Zephyrian Collective
THAT WAS CLEAN AF - Andromedian Youth Network
BRO REALLY SAID DELETE AND MEANT IT - Reformed Mind Flayer Coalition
15 SECOND SPEEDRUN WORLD RECORD - Gaming Federation Prime
The remaining eleven Star Devourer ships watched their companion disappear with the kind of stunned silence that only comes from witnessing something that shouldn't be theoretically possible. Their databases contained no protocols for dealing with entities that treated cosmic-level threats as content creation opportunities.
IMPOSSIBLE, the Entropy's End broadcast, its message now carrying frequencies of what could only be described as cosmic confusion. THE VOID CONSUMPTION WAS EQUIPPED WITH REALITY ANCHORS. NO ENTITY SHOULD BE ABLE TO...
"Should? Bro, who asked?" Jack interrupted, his consciousness already targeting the second ship—a massive entropy generator called Heat Death's Promise. "Y'all really thought the universe cared about your little rules? That's cute."
The second deletion took 13.9 seconds. The third took 12.1 seconds. With each successive victory, Jack's technique became more refined, his nanomachine count grew exponentially, and his galactic audience became increasingly hyped.
By the time he'd deleted the seventh Star Devourer ship, the GalacticTok chat was moving so fast that dedicated AI systems had to be deployed just to process the comments:
THIS IS ACTUALLY INSANE
EARTH DIFF TOO STRONG
STAR DEVOURERS GETTING EXPOSED
SOMEONE CALL THE COSMIC POLICE THIS IS MURDER
NAH THIS IS JUST SKILL ISSUE
The remaining five Star Devourer ships had stopped trying to fight and were now simply trying to comprehend what they were witnessing. Their collective consciousness, evolved over millions of years to process cosmic-scale threats, was struggling to understand an entity that treated reality-ending weapons as props for viral content.
ENTITY, the Entropy's End transmitted, its message now carrying undertones of what might have been desperation, WE DO NOT UNDERSTAND YOUR METHODOLOGY. EXPLAIN YOUR POWER SOURCE.
Jack's response, broadcast to his audience of 47 billion beings across the galaxy, became the most-quoted line in cosmic history: "Power source? Bestie, I AM the power source. This is just what happens when the main character decides to stop playing around."
