Black's team exited the red building and stepped onto the scaly surface of the… Planet.
Technically speaking, this was not a Planet. It was a massive lifeform created by the new members of the Cult. These Planet-like lifeforms were not exceptionally powerful and lacked intelligence, but they had been instrumental to the Cult's victory in the other Cosmos.
These things absorbed Energy and transformed it into broken fragments of Energy. These fragments were harvested and distributed to different lifeforms that functioned with these Energies. By giving the lifeforms different fragments of Energy, they could reduce the total Energy in the Cosmos. This was similar to taking a bill and cutting it into ten pieces, which were handed to ten different people. One person got all of the right pieces, while another one got all of the left pieces. Even though all of the people had millions of pieces, none of them had a bill.
