the entities I was thinking of are dragons...
I completely forgot to comment on this earlier. Without going too deeply into SPOILER territory, I feel like I should mention to everyone that I do have some future plot plans involving dragons.
The rough idea I was going for is that dragons were among the earliest beings to exist in the universe, to which the normal rules of time and space don't entirely apply. They aged very slowly but weren't quite immortal, had elemental powers that defied the laws of physics/nature, while the most powerful among them could even travel freely between alternate realities, and see glimpses of potential futures. The three magic weapons that the ancient races of Gelida created were actually meant to be used to defend themselves from these more powerful dragons.
Eventually, as the cosmos began to fill up with more technologically advanced races, the dragons retreated to the fringes of existence, where they watched, waiting for the right moment to return to power. A particularly devious specimen, known only as "The Sallow" believes that the Mega-Verse is the time and place to stage that return, and has shaped Red/Evil Carlos into a weapon to pave the way for that goal.
Of course, this is only a really rough outline of what I was considering, and probably wouldn't come into play until sometime after the Battle of Antares. I'm happy to adapt/adjust this stuff to fit what other people have planned, especially now that I know someone else has some major plans to use dragons, too.
