I have several plans:
1) I have used Research Zone to "planetary arks" to begin evacuating the populations of Celadon and Earth to safety in hyperspace.
2) My planet was previously moved to a personal realm.
3) I show the beast headed towars Earth the Van Allen radiation belts, which should feed it for many years without improvement. This has the positive side effect of removing radiation from around the Earth, making spaceflights more enjoyable for astronauts. Thank goodness for powers like Telepathy.
4) I make a ring of dark magic around Celadon. This means that whenever a mage attempts to use dark magic, half of the magic is sent to this ring. This ring converts it into a tasty energy meal for the beast. Since the dark mages will sicontinue their magic anyway to keep on with their plans, these belts will feed the beast indefinitely. The side effect is, it cripples the dark mages of Celadon.
5) I try to make portals to hyperspace in the path of the beasts, which contains infinite energy, so the beasts will be able to feed forever without depleting it. It only works for a few, but it is still a permanent and effective solution.
6) I am currently using Research Zone on several of my colonies. These are research technologies to fight the beasts in future, such as hyperspace portal technology.

To celebrate, I begin colonising hyperspace, since my colonies found out how to harvest hyperspacial energies long ago. This also shields them from the harmful effects of the energy. They can easily teleport matter in, synthesize it (though not researched yet), harvest matter lost in hyperspace and send a mining expedition into normal space. These colonies prove useful for spreading around the galaxy -they are already drifting, so their mining expeditions can make colonies while at work as well as perform exploration.

I use the libraries of these colonies to ad to my infinite memory and make technological implants to boost my powers. In return, I use intelligence-based powers to add to the libraries and to help research. For these purposes, I use:
1) O-Compendium of useless knowledge: Thank you Shadowulf1 and Marvelous Miscreant, my libraries are now full of useless garbage.
2) Research Zone*: Obvious.
3) Conditional Ability Bestowal*: I give many scientists research-based powers.
4) Several Mythpowers, (many from my allies such as Shadowulf1 and WHD) including Help from Helios* (to see from the stars) and Phoebe's Intellect, among others.
5) Several of WHD's powers, including:
-God of Inventor.
-Superhuman Ingenuity.
-Intuitive Invention.
-10x Thinking Speed.
-Repertoire of knowledge: allows my scientists and I to create better technology and add to my already-advanced knowledge of the universe.
-Enhanced Progression: Allows my scientists given this power to create better and better technology.
-Friendly Power Gifting: What use are these research powers if I can't give them all to an army of loyal scientists.

Our technology is very advanced right now.
Bow before your unimaginably powerful overlord!

Wait a minute, I'm currently too busy holding a cork in mid air for petty groveling.

They cannot be contacted telepathically.

Yes, they need to feed or they go into a state of dormancy. The length of this state of dormancy before death varies with the size of the Cosm.

The larger they are, paradoxically, the longer they can go without eating when none is available. But still, the larger ones tend to be greedy, which is the only real reason they search for food so ravenously.

So theoretically we could keep them dormant by feeding them the bare minimum energy to keep them from death? Are they weakened in their search for energy with extensive periods of fasting? I want to work out an energy manipulation system that could be utilized to keep the beings dormant only being directed at energy we need consumed.

Likely best. If the creatures actually make it to the planets for which they're headed, then prepare to do some MAJOR rebuilding. Much of the planets' energy will be drained.

@Myself: Luckily you've saved Celadon, so I'll need you to do the same for Earth and Aeon, and your own planet...

That makes sense to a degree. I mean, I guess they would begin to absorb parts of themselves to keep from dieing.. Bigger they are, the longer they could do that.

On that point IF they do eat parts of themselves does it weaken their integrity/defenses?

They can perceive energy up to a galaxy away (further if they are larger).

They feed on as much as is present, and their metabolism makes the most of it, so yes, even a AAA battery can keep them from death (though likely, if that's all they have...they'll go dormant within a short period of time). Being the size of a planet, give or take a week.

No. Their abilities simply match proportionately to their bodies. (Basically, the same defenses, just for a smaller form)

Is their a semi dormant stage? If we can use spacial/dimensional manipulation to keep them a couple galaxy's widths from the energy we don't want them to eat and direct energy that we DO want consumed then theoretically we could direct them.

Ahh, I see. In that case it will be necessary to control them by hunger.

I thought they ate dimensions?O.o Anyway I'll likely have to find a space between galaxys that is wide and energy devoid, and then manipulate space to make sure only regulated quantities of energy are consumed.

It's not so much a dimension as an infinite expanse of energy.

Hmm, true you can trap them in infinite energy dimensions that could regulate their consumption and the type of energy consumes, though I intend to keep a few in our universe as intergalactic garbage disposals and weapons.

They are like animals; there are powers around that. Maybe not controlling them, but telepathic visions should not be too hard.

They don't eat dimensions, just dimensional energy. BY that logic, they'd be able to disrupt any portals, or any connections from THIS dimension to any other.
