Byproduct.
Creation’s
endgame.
Machinery

Pumping.
Creating.
Designed
chaos,
madness.
Radiation.
Supernova.
Black holes.
Ultimate
alchemy.
Mixing
elements.
Creating.
Creating
life.
Intelligent
life.
Cog

creating.
Intermediate
step,
byproduct.
Hyper intelligence
arrives
wiping

Biological
byproduct.
Just a
means
to the
ultimate.
