Chapter 68 - Level 46 - Artificial Universes (1/2)

Anyway, via the satellite system, I can attach a magic marker to anyone and track them in real-time with no structures as a limit. Tracking includes both visual and sound types of data. However, I didn't only save that data. I made an algorithm that analyses and labels information. And based on its importance, it can even notify me.

Because both Marcus and Dark are marked individuals of high priority, their conversation was labeled as important and sent to me immediately. And don't even ask me how I connected the Ring System, Satellites and The System of mine together. Athena helped me with that. I can't even imagine, how would I survive without her knowledge and advice. But anyway, back to the topic.

This move from Order's hunters was already expected. Not by me, though. By Sabrina, or one of her identities. No clue, which specifically. She came up with a plan of swift neutralization of the whole structure and both of their leaders.

Speaking of leaders. They are not your random nobodies. These guys are elite of the Order. Or at least they were until their home Universes have fallen.

You see, apparently, both of them are coming from Artificial Universes or Solo Universes, depending on your whereabouts in the endless Creation. Athena previously mentioned a little bit about such worlds, but it was hectic at that time and she couldn't go into details. But during this very long 'power-up time', I learned quite a few things about Worlds, Creation, the Creator, the Order, the Counsel and so much more. Although my level still limits me in terms of how much I can learn, I stopped being absolutely clueless about the Forces around me.

Back to Artificial Universes or to be precise, what makes them 'Artificial'. A unique point of such Worlds is the fact that they have no saving mechanisms. Most of the Universes in one way or another have something serving as Power Source. It's their core. And also it's Hardrive. That core saves all possible versions of reality.

Confusing? Okay, let me put it this way. Whenever there is a possibility that one choice may drastically change history, both choices will be saved as parallel realities. Moreover, core tracks progress on all realities at the same time. Whenever it sees that 2 parallel Universes came to the same result and changes of the past don't affect it anymore, it will merge these 2 timelines into one. That's why Core is sometimes called 'the Time of the Universe'.

However, what happens when the change is so drastic that it changes Universe, making it unrecognizable from its original version. The core is incapable of supporting two drastically different Universes at the same time, so it severs the changed version.

Of course, it's not happening instantly, but the more time passes, the bigger divide between parallels is becoming, thus speeding up the split.

'So what?' you may ask. But just please, stay patient. It should make sense in a minute.

Because Artificial Universe has no core and no saving mechanism, it literally has only one chance. If it's destroyed, it's destroyed. As for time travel... In such Universes, it's impossible because World's Mind(which is a topic for another evening on itself) will not allow any changes to its timeline.

And both Marcus's and Dark's homeworlds have been destroyed. Strangely though, Athena has no information on how exactly they were destroyed. But I digress.

For normal people, the destruction of the Universe means death. Why? Well, you see all Worlds works with their own laws. Physics in one Universe is different from physics in the other. Some don't even have physics. Some exist in 20 dimensions. And some exist in only one, in which no typical life is possible.
