One day, Crota was approached by Oryx and ordered to watch his sisters as they experimented with death and cutting wounds into the universe to hide their deaths and become harder to kill in the hope that he would learn cunning. However, as Oryx departed to observe the destruction of an alien fortress world by the Darkness, Crota was influenced by Savathûn and arrogantly decided that he too could cut a wound in the universe to match his sister's power and learn the new secret. The space he cut into was one unknown to his sisters but desired by Savathûn, and from it poured the [[Vex]], who proceeded to invade Oryx's throne world.<ref name="PoD">'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XXXVIII:_The_partition_of_death|XXXVIII: The partition of death]]''</ref> Crota engaged the Vex in battle as they struggled to understand [[The Sword Logic]], but they then manifested [[Quria, Blade Transform]] who grasped the logic and became determined to become the new god of Oryx's throne world.

Although Oryx saved his throne world from the Vex and became intrigued by their fascination with geometry, he punished Crota for his reckless experiments. Grabbing him by one of his legs, the Taken King flung his progeny into the Vex gate network and ordered him to return home covered in glory or not at all. For centuries, Crota traversed the Vex's network and fought across space and time, becoming a demon in many cultures. As time passed, he adjusted his tactics as he gained a greater understanding of his father and ceased to spare some of his victims whom he complained about his father | Although Oryx saved his throne world from the Vex and became intrigued by their fascination with geometry, he punished Crota for his reckless experiments.
