Description I made a mistake, and now i'm splitting this into a trilogy of sorts that revolves around Xenodraconia and Nekark. However, I think it works nicely to build up to the final showdown with Nekark, and the Four Primordials who are trying to stop him.

First, however, they have to vanquish his three heralds, who guide him to other worlds by planting the seeds of his infectious essence to serve as both beacons.........and the symptom that wears down a planet's immune system. Thus making it, and its inhabitants vulnerable to the vile touch of The Darkening, which works exactly as it does in Age of Resistance, but in a fungal form. A thick, purple mass that is absolute power to those who are made of it. The Darkening acts exactly like a virus: spreading across a world, blighting all it touches, and driving all who come into contact with it to ravenous madness. And even if you don't consume the stuff, it works like a deadly radiation, too. Even for Primordials who aren't Nekark or his creations, exposure to The Darkening is NOT without consequence. Exposure for too long corrupts, and destroys the physical body. Rotting it like it does all of the realm it infects until only their rotting flesh remains. Then Nekark arrives to rip into the planet's heart, and feed upon its poisoned well of life. And he doesn't have to rip the planet in half, or anything: all he has to do is find a fault line, dig into it, and tear it open before diving his limbs into it, and literally suck out the essence from the world.

All that's left in the end is a black, lifeless rock of viral fungi, dominated by The Darkening.

As for his Heralds? They are creations by two artists: one belongs to cwpetesch , while two others were made for/by Dinossword for their own works. Eodorah belongs to the former, while Dreadaugor, and Irasuton are for the latter. Eodorah in @Daizua123s series, Rebuild of Godzilla, is one of four Planet Eaters, while  Dreadaugor, and Irasuton are considered false Planet Eaters due to how weak they are compared to the four. Still, due to their unique nature and design, as well as their destructive natures in the story, it made sense to me to make them Heralds to Nekark, like being Heralds of Galactus or Unicron - preferably the former. Because these three are meant to weed out desirable worlds rich with Essence, or I guess Jinsei, at this point, and then plant fungal towers housing The Darkening to both act as beacons to draw their master, and to prepare these worlds for consumption. Any who attempt to resist are, of course, easily slain because noone can match them. The Vaninhala probably could have easily vanquished them 10 months ago while they were young, and fresh.

But they share their creator's power of drawing strength from The Darkening, and all that it infects, and consumes.

And since that much time has passed, it's given the three more than enough time to grow in strength, and power. Enough, that even the Vaninhala are hard-pressed to defeat them. And Nekark himself warns them how over their heads they are thanks to his ability to manifest a humanoid avatar of himself anywhere he wants. This also gives him the chance to observe the children of his greatest enemy meet their end. Will they meet their end here, and now? Or will a miracle save them?
