Summary
The story begins with an eternal mystique named Aknaton , which the Osirosian race is the ancestor of all humanoid lives in the Milky Way galaxy. The Osirosians face a terrible threat, the crushing conqueror race known as the Zygote. The Osirosi people thronged their strength and faced the Zigot directly, but failed to defeat them. People of Osirosi resign to their heavily guarded world and consider other ways to stop Zygotean threats.
As the Zigot powers only grow, and the Zygot are conquered, enslaved, and annihilated more and more from the Milky Way, the Osirosians finally conclude that they are unable to stop the Zygote, and therefore the Milky Way is destined for a long time, slow and terrible. The Osirosians, who refused to let the Milky Way be strangled by the Zygote, developed plans to destroy the Zygote, whatever the cost. Running the Zygotean blockade from his homeworld, Aknaton organizes movable events to mature over time into the elements he or she needs for their final plan. The most important actions he took were:
- He visits a world inhabited by unprovoked cannibal beasts and introduces the potential for them to develop intelligence and compassion.
- He visits planet Earth and encourages the evolution of proto-humanity.
- He discovers an uninhabited world of forests and releases proto life from his own creation.
- He created a powerful artifact in the form of a sword of ice and left it on the planet Byfrexia.
- The Osirosians created the mystical device, which they named Infinity Horn, entrusting it to Aknaton who hid it in a cave in a world called Dreamsend by an artificial immortal beast that he created to keep it until the time came. use it.
After doing all these things, he returned to the homeworld and waited for the final position. The Osirosans survived for a hundred thousand years, but in the end Zigot managed to overcome their defenses and destroy them. Armed with all of his race powers and plans, Aknaton fled, the only survivor.
Aknaton returned to the world he had visited a hundred thousand years earlier, taking one native from each to fulfill their part in the plan: Za, the first of his cannibal race to achieve intelligence; Juliet, a fifteen-year-old girl from Kansas; and Whis'Par, the culmination of the artificial life that Aknaton created in the jungle world.
After collecting the three that he needed, Aknaton returned to Byfrexia, where the ice sword was discovered by a young Byfrexian named Vanth, who discovered in the Arctic desert after an ice bear devoured his family. The power of the sword retains Vanth's life. Later, he discovered that it had other powers too; it can absorb energy from almost any kind and then direct it as a destructive force; it gave Vanth great toughness and physical strength; it gave him the gift of tongues; and he can join the sword in unexpected ways even by the maker, so the sword becomes a part of him that he can manifest at will. Vanth is obsessed with revenge, and spent years hunting for his ice bear almost extinct. Other Byfrexians, who relied on bears for food, eventually attacked Vanth and drove him from the world, where he spent an unspecified time as a mercenary. When the Zygotes attacked Byfrexia, Vanth returned home and led the resistance against them, known as the "Cold Man."
Aknaton found Vanth and recruited him to become his pilot and bodyguard. Vanth jumps at the chance that there might be a plan to destroy the Zygote; though he was shaken when Aknaton revealed the true nature of the plan to him and others.
Aknaton has reasoned that because Zygotea can not be defeated, and the death of the galaxy can not be prevented, the only good that remains is to make the end as fast and easy as possible. Therefore he created the Infinity Horn... whose purpose was to destroy the Milky Way. Surprised, but convinced that Aknaton's plan was the only option, Vanth and the others agreed. Fighting their way past Zygotea troops and their slaves (who had realized the plan and fought tooth to desist), they returned to the cave on the planet Dreamsend. When Aknaton and Vanth hold Zygotean outside, Za, Juliet, and Whis'Par enter the cave and sound the Infinity Horn, destroying the entire Milky Way in an instant.
The three that whipped up Klakson turned into a new form, bringing all the remaining of the Milky Way, except Aknaton and Vanth. Aknaton uses his mystical power to wrap himself and Vanth in a power bubble and throw them into space intergalactic.
Years later they fell on a planet in another galaxy, where Vanth shot Aknaton out of anger and guilty for the destruction of the Milky Way galaxy. Wounded badly, Aknaton admits that he has persuaded Vanth to kill him because he can not live with guilt. When he died, he told Vanth that he had saved him and brought him here because this galaxy was at the point where he could fall into the same path as the Milky Way. Aknaton wants Vanth to change the fate of this new galaxy, and if he fails, then find the Infinity Horn to destroy this galaxy as well.

Dreadstar, graphic novel
The third part of Metamorphosis Odyssey is Marvel Graphic Novel # 3, Dreadstar , published in 1982. It is printed in color, from paintings by Starlin.
This graphic novel opens with Vanth Dreadstar that leads the life of a peaceful peasant. The planet where he lives is where Instrumentality experiments to create a race of cat-human hybrid fighters. The experiment failed, hybrids have mild properties and are generally only suitable for farming. Dreadstar married a human scientist and lived peacefully for decades, but this ended shortly after the arrival of Darklock when the Monarchic fleet destroyed his home village, killing his wife and all his friends.
Dreadstar, Series
Part four of the Metamorphosis Odyssey is detailed in the Epic Dreadstar epic series in the mid to late 1980s.
The comic series has some differences from the beginning of the story. The preceding sections are the reproduction of shiny ink drawings and paintings; his comic colored pencil-and-ink drawings on high-quality, acid-free paper known as Baxter paper. Also, unlike the previous story, the comic series is episodic, involving longer story bows, subplots, and liquid character characters. The whole story discusses the efforts of Vanth and Syzygy, and a group of adventurers they gather, to end the war.
The land they gained in the Monarchy was lost when the Monarchy was betrayed from within by a high minister (who turned out to be the last surviving Zygote, who was in intergalactic space when the Infinity Horn destroyed the Milky Way, and who followed Akhnaton's mysticism escaped from the pod in hopes of retaliation revenge.) The monarchy was overthrown, and the war ended, but not as people wanted. The Instrumentality conquered the galaxy and embarked on an extermination campaign, apparently following the will of their Twelve Evil Gods. Vanth and his crew escaped the destruction of the Monarchy and the league with the remnants of the Monarchic fleet against Instrumentality. Finally, after triumph and defeat and escape, Vanth and Syzygy destroy Lord High Papal and overthrow Instrumentality, face the Twelve Gods, and destroy it.
