When Alex went after Cassandra, he made sure to leave a sliver of his awareness behind.
The space was still locked for thousands of light years and anything new that appeared would have nowhere to go.
Outside the universe, Alex came to a stop as he observed Cassandra flying around while the void creatures gave their all.
Due to the size difference, Cassandra appeared like a small grain compared to an ocean, yet she wasn't outdone.
The creatures weren't able to touch her while she continued to grow stronger as the seconds passed--her core was siphoning the surrounding energy without rest.
Cassandra had a serious and contemplative look on her face, clearly being in the moment to understand what she had just learnt.
From time to time, she would unleash her own attacks on the creature to mark her level of understanding and while nothing major occurred, she noticed the void creatures took longer to regenerate.
