The Ayrai'Shikua (DT Ayrai-Shikua:╙╘╞╫║│╨─╙╣╫╨─╣ - Ovscuaïra'onuran - Darkness Incarnate; AST Ayrai'Shikua - Khokh'me'il'llpa'ilkani - Everlasting Gate of Destruction), also known as the Xhodocto are the archdemons of Hell, and are known as the destroyers of the Universe. They have an intelligence quotient of SQ +50 and are Type >V on the Kardashev scale. The Xhodocto are, arguably the most technologically advanced beings in the omniverse. The Xhodocto have survived countless years as being the most resilient race in the universe as well.


 * A brief description of the Xhodocto can be found here.

Reputation
The Xhodocto are greatly feared among the First Gigaquadrant and beyond for their destructive power and god-like influence. Especially their military, as their uncountable population makes up a large percentage of infantry. The Xhodocto often do what is best for their kind, and follow the laws of their gods.

The Xhodocto also control some 17,480 galaxies, of which 17,479 of them lie in uncharted regions, as the only known galaxy in the First Gigaquadrant is Tuuros. Often, the galaxies which the Xhodocto control turn a bloodshine red due to their demonic energies. The Xhodocto's demonic energies are able to transform elements into a demonic element called Nexidium; which the Xhodocto make all of their militia out of.

Features
The Xhodocto are among the most supernatural races in the universe. They are immortal creatures as well; they cannot be killed by any normal means. However, their souls can be detached from their body by using holy energy. However, their souls can manifest new bodies for use.

They are massively strong as well. Khazurhal Angazhar mangaed to pull a Onuris Supercarrier to the floor with one hand, of where those Supercarriers weigh over 100 kiltons. They weigh (at their current form) about 47,000 pounds.

A Xhodocto's voice is generally low pitched and sounds as if it echoes. It also has a background grumbling sound.

Ancient History (c.13.8 Billion yrs ago - 1.48 billion yrs ago)
The Xhodocto, ancient creatures created in the times of meaningless existence, and were used to destroy universes once life begins to go out of control, and then the universe destroying itself due to chaos. But chaos is what follows in their 'Hellmarch'; most of the universe burns in flame. Many empires have tried to stop the Xhodocto, and many have been destroyed in their wake. Small amounts of Xhodocto have been 'killed', and even fewer have been damaged. The history of the Xhodocto has definitely been one of blood and carnage that spanned the age of the universe.

Awakening (Recently Discovered)


The Xhodocto had mysteriously disappeared off the face of the Universe some 1.48 billion years ago. Before that time, the Xhodocto constructed ancient monoliths that were scattered all over. One, unfortunately, landed on Earth 23,000 years ago. 2,000 years later, the Kei'Un Tribe, which were Humans, found the monolith. One curious tribesman pushed a switch on the monolith. The skies darkened as the Sun went red, and millions of meteors crashed on the planet. It turned out that the meteors were Xhodocto. Draguros, discovering the Kei'Un, turned them into the demonic Kei'Un Bloodhunters, which remain to this day as the denizens of Hell.

Congregation Era
The Xhodocto had realised that the Universe had left them behind. Needing to catch up with the Universe, they opened up alliances with numerous alien races which formed The Congregation. The aliens did not realised how violent the Xhodocto were, and so were 'imprisoned' by the Xhodocto as an army. The Congregation soon became malicious, raiding planets for resources. 150 years after The Congregation formed, they controlled the entire Tuuros Galaxy, where countless numbers were killed, imprisioned or left missing.

War of Ages
The Congregation's evil ways had gathered the attention of the Cianju Alliance which threatened The Congregation. A few insults here and there, and the most life-changing war had begun - the War of Ages. Below is the Xhodocto's record of the War.


 * The Tigris War Record.


 * Ascension War Record.


 * The Cold War.


 * The March of the Apocalypse.

Extinction
Look here.

Return
The Xhodocto, breaking through Hell, are returning to exterminate the universe, assuming the terrifying Midnight Form - a being of pure Chaos Energy, if they devour enough souls, the Xhodocto will become unstoppable. Recently, they have threatened to ruin Ms. Pepis' wedding and crash the party. As of now the Xhodocto are intangible ghosts - they can be seen but not touched or attacked without going straight through them. If they become physical, then not even the most skilled of warriors will survive.

Culture
The Xhodocto are an ancient race, of where their culture is unknown as well. What is known is that they are a highly deceptive race, and also very serious when the time calls for it.

Lifestyle
The Xhodocto's lifestyle is very similar to that of us humans. They work and entertain, but are supremely religious. Nearly all of their lifestyle is dedicated to their gods, even their architecture. A Xhodocto's favourite part of their lifestyle is hunting, which dedicates two of their gods, Saem'Dkao and Nava'Rhal. Xhodocto tend to hunt while in war, which is noticeable as Xhodocto squads are armed with Ancient-Tech Spears. Xhodocto hunt sentinent creatures and devour their souls for 'the glory of Saem'Dkao'.

Xhodocto will work within their own race - generally for intraspecies trading, military training and religious ceremonial purposes. Xhodocto do eat, but not for nutrition (see below for their nutrition) but instead for their own satisfaction. Strangely, some Xhodocto smoke a Nexus Fire Tree seed, which as well as food, give them satisfaction instead of necessary nutrition. Xhodocto drinks are generally very strong and would often kill anyone who even sipped out of it, due to the Nexus fruit being very dangerous to non-demonic beings.

Entertainment for Xhodocto are in most cases violent. Some Xhodocto will gamble Nexidam (Xhodocto currency) for such fights. Khazurhal Angazhar was renowned for his Xhodocto cage fighting and often had win streaks. Another non violent sport is their ball game, which is similar to basketball. However, this sport is more social than for a religious purpose.

Hunting for Xhodocto is a prime sport on which is periodic. Usually, every 3rd, 7th and 21st day of the month Xhodocto hunt for their 'prey'. This is for their gods. Xhodocto hunting squads are about 14 - 17 in size, and are always lead by a high ranking Xhodocto. As said above, Xhodocto use Spears to take out their enemies. Xhodocto will hunt sentinent beings while in war, yet it is unknown what they hunt when not in war.

Family
To the Xhodocto, family is everything. Before the mysterious extinction of the Female Xhodocto (shown above), Xhodocto had very close families, which is surprising as their nature is somewhat cold. Hatchlings, shown with their parents, were very small and different in appearance to their father/mother. For males, the Xhodocto Hatchling did not develop wings, two more eyes, a longer tail or horns/spikes until they were about 18 - 23 years of age. Females, however, did not grow their tendrils and third eye until they were 15 - 21 years of age. Xhodocto, though created, could lay eggs. A Xhodocto family could have grown up to at least 10. However, the method of reproduction was lost.

It remains unknown how a Xhodocto mated, and how a female given birth. It was thought the gestation period was about 18 - 23 months. However, reproduction was immensely rare to Xhodocto; knowing that their population is already 'infinite'.

Architecture
The Xhodocto's architecture is massively complex. Xhodocto love to build stratascrapers (buildings above 4,500m (14,763 ft), according to Xhodocto technology).

Biology
As the Xhodocto are non-corpereal beings their biolgy is difficult to determine as they are Type I life. They happen to take shape of their 15th form, but their appearance is black with a white outline. Their appearance is shadowed by their own energies. Their eyes are white with a black aura.

Chaos Energy
The Xhodocto's entire being is cloaked in a type of Chaos Energy. This energy seems to overpower most (if not all) energies that come into contact with them. Their body is like smoke; everything happens to just pass through their bodies in the same manner. The Xhodocto, however can hit an enemy. They can also fabricate weapons out of their own being. However, the Xhodocto are able to be immortal, impervious to pain, ability to translate themselves to other universes (and planes of existence), ability to warp spacetime, rip spacetime, destroy information (energy and matter), ability to gain knowledge and a temporal increase of power through assimilation of essence, destruction of universes, destruction of dimensions, repair and creation of universes, repair of dimensions, creation of pocket universes and manipulation of dimensions, all on a small scale.

Soul Devouring
As Xhodocto are Demons, they are noted for devouring souls of the living. However, it is their nutrition. Generally, soul devouring makes the Xhodocto's power increase for a period of time, before the Xhodocto hunger for more souls. The souls which are devoured are sent to Hell. The image to the left portrays a Xhodocto devouring a soul of an Asgord. The Asgord's soul is channelled out of its body and into the Xhodocto.

Xhodocto are able to gather information from devouring souls, ranging from basic culture information to speaking the victim's language, knowing everything about their life and their society.

Universal


The Xhodocto are generally despised by all races in the universe, as the legends of the demons from Hell are based on them (as the Xhodocto visited countless worlds). Due to their past experiences (which the Xhodocto will never reveal), the Xhodocto turned from a Ravenrii-like being into their current vindictive personality. However, an extremely small amount of beings like the Xhodocto; thinking that they and them have similar goals, when the Xhodocto's goal is far more unbelievable. These demons brutally conquer any 'heretical' races and wipe them out of existence.

Inter-Universal
The Xhodocto are known across 11 dimensions (or universes) as the same being, as they are responsible for their destruction (as the Xhodocto's population span 11 dimensions). All have the same relations to the Xhodocto, but some dimensions are more powerful than this and some are weaker, 665010-NHCDB673-886 (Universe 66501 (or Dimension 8)) is slightly behind this one. Either way, all 11 dimensions are aware of the Xhodocto.

Xhodocto Aeon Calendar

 * Five years in one cycle:
 * Year 1: 'Year of the Rising Sun'
 * Year 2: 'Year of the Setting Sun'
 * Year 3: 'Year of the Rising Moon'
 * Year 4: 'Year of the Nearing Eclipse'
 * Year 5: 'Year of the Rising Eclipse'

Each year is equal to 147 Earth Years. One cycle=735 Earth Years.

There are three cycles in one age. So, an age is 2,205 Earth Years.


 * Eight Ages in one 'Tharitom':

So, one 'Tharitom' is 17,640 Years. To make up one Aeon (1.48 billion earth years) there are 839,002 'Tharitii'. So one Aeon is 100,680,272 Xhodocto Years. Since the Xhodocto's arrival in this universe there has been 14 Aeons (as the calendar starts again when the Xhodocto destroy the universe).
 * Age 1: 'Age of Kamik'Shi'
 * Age 2: 'Age of Iskar'Thalista'
 * Age 3: 'Age of Kiaz'Hala'
 * Age 4: 'Age of Nava'Rhal'
 * Age 5: 'Age of Saem'Dkao'
 * Age 6: 'Age of Keth'Zhar'
 * Age 7: 'Age of Mhaz'Veryk'
 * Age 8: 'Age of Kkia'Sihm'

To the Xhodocto, the Scourge's date would have been: 839,0021485(839,002nd Tharitii of the Eighth Age, Age of Kkia'Sihm at the Year of the Nearing Eclipse, of the Fourteenth Aeon).

The date system goes like this: TharitomAeonAgeYear.

Xhodocto Religion
"If you seek to learn the ways of Xhodocto, you'll be infested t the core by its demonic power, you'll open a door to Kamik Shi into your life into a rate than could instatly kill you"--Civatron Master The Xhodocto Religion is a peculiar religion with three denominations, all of who worship the Dark God, Kamik-Shi.

Xhodocto Evolution
"The Xhodocto have a very special evolution, different from any other species in the Universe, instead of evolving from a cell, they awoke from Hibernation sleep after the last scourge, they evolve instead in mere Space stage in order to accomplish their goal, the Anorjurkhal." --Andrudan Scientist. The Xhodocto's evolution is rather unnatural, as it takes 2 billion years (1.48 billion to be exact) to get to their final evolution. There are six forms of evolution.

 * See here for Demonic Energy.

Xhodocto Language
Xhodocto language is completely understandable for the Krassio, though its demonic power could corrupt us, we prefer not to speak it -- Civatron Warrior. The Xhodocto Language is also known as the Dark Tongue, spoken mainly by Xhodocto (as well as a few other-race scientists). It is thought to contain a dark power within it, which can only be unlocked if the speaker has demonic blood within them. A very small amount of it has been deciphered so far, scientists believe that only 2% has been translated. Such scientists are translating the language from non-Xhodocto copies of the Dark Tomes. It is also believed that some of the language can never be translated as it contains words that only Xhodocto know.

There is, in fact another language which the Xhodocto use and is known for its complication. It is known as the Ancient Shadow Tongue (AST) and is spoken by a small number of Xhodocto, perhaps 15,000 at the most. It is a language so old that most of the Xhodocto have forgotten it.

Leaders
The rank of Kamik-Khazurhal has always stayed with Draguros, but the ranks below never stayed the same. Here is a list of every ruler of the Xhodocto.

However, we and the alliance stood our ground and were victorious as one united front.  I just hope we never see their shadow fall upon the universe once more..."

- Metamind
