162 Deluxe Breakfast at Maccas (2/2)

I make my intention clear to Zeus.

There is really no need to hide what motivates me to help humanity reaches its true potential.

If humans prosper, I benefit greatly.

”Interesting. If only they allow you to do so, Max. Do you truly know why there are no super advance civilization out there? It is not because they always destroy each other in the end, although that is the very likely scenario, considering all life are innately head towards their own destruction.”

Zeus hints something.

I narrow my eyes slightly.

Who are they that Zeus is referring to?

”I don't need to tell you about them, Max, as you will find out why technologically advance civilization do not exist eventually yourself, at least outside fictional reality like Stargate. Seeing is believing after all.”

Zeus leaves it at that, and I am curious to what he is implying.

Is there some sort of threats that is scouring the multiverse and destroying any civilizations, human or otherwise, that is highly technological?

That seems like the only reason, and it is a logical reason.

”You seem to know a lot of pop culture, Zeus.”

I decide to change the topic since Zeus didn't want to talk about the looming threat.

And from his very expression, I am certain he has run into the threat before, and I can safely assume, he wouldn't want to run into them again.

They are that much of a threat, huh?

”Of course, Max. I have a lot of free time on my hands, now more than ever unless you know of a place on this world, where there is a lot of spiritual energy. A Spiritual Nexus would be great.”

Zeus responses, and without me asking what a Spiritual Nexus actually is, he tells me.

A Spiritual Nexus is a spot where the barrier between the spiritual world and the physical world is very weak, thus causing spiritual energy to seep through, making it seems like it is haunted.

”And what if I know of a place where spiritual energy exists?”

I question out of curiosity.

Well. I did have the intention of dumping Zeus and Zephyr at a place similar.

I just might learn a thing or two from them at the haunted house I have recently brought, but I suppose if Zeus is looking for one himself, it works too.

”Depends on what you want, Max. Do you want the coordinates to those fictional realities? They are by no mean fictional even if I am labeling them that. It is more or less to differentiate from this reality in scale of things.”

Zeus offers.

”I think that is a good exchange, but I lack the mean to make use of those coordinates like you guys.”

I point out.

Having those coordinates would be great since there is so much technology that I can steal off those realities, fictional or not, but those coordinates mean squat if I don't have the mean to use them.

Zeus nods and looks thoughtfully.

”Alright, I will give you an artefact that will help you accomplish pretty much the same thing, but after we have something to eat.”

Zeus finally said.

I suppose that is good enough, as long as it accomplishes the same thing I want.

And as I drive us to the closest McDonald, I continue to fish for more information from Zeus as well as Zephyr. The latter is more than happy to give whatever I want since she will have her Happy Meal.

I did learn about the scale of things that Zeus had mentioned earlier.

Realities aren't on the same scale in term of existence. Prime-reality is higher scale than say the reality of Star Wars because that reality exists because of the prime-reality.

In other word, people of this reality are creating a lower-tier reality through their own imagination.

I also learn that prime-reality is not that high on the scale, and that frightens me.

Is this reality a figment of someone's imagination!?

Zeus seems to think so, but he is not worried one way or another.

He exists with his own freewill and goal, and that is good enough for him in the grand scheme of things.

I suppose I shouldn't worry too much about it either and just enjoy a late breakfast like Zephyr.

She is super cheerful when she has what she wanted, especially when I have paid for her. She actually has money on her, billions of dollars, but those notes are from a decade into the future.

I don't want counterfeit bills floating around in the economy.

Zeus is still ordering alongside with me.

”There isn't much options available currently in this era, but I guess it will do.”

Zeus mumbles before paying attention to the cashier, who isn't older than Elizabeth. Her name is June.

It is on her name tag, as a welcome to being basically a slave of a giant fast-food chain. It isn't like that a bad thing since doing these kinds of job does teach teenagers a valuable lesson.

It certainly gives taught me a valuable lesson: work hard or you will be flipping burgers for the rest of your life.

Now I secretly own the several giant fast-food chains.

”I will have a set of everything on the menu.”

Zeus orders, making the counter girl puzzled.

The absurd order didn't come as a shock to me since Zeus did mention about liking the taste, meaning that he doesn't need to eat at all.

And that isn't because he is a God or anything.

Eating actual foods is a terrible way to sustain an accelerated metabolism. It is the same reason I only eat for enjoyment now. I get most of my energy from popping energy pills.

”I don't understand. You want a set of everything?”

June asks for confirmation.

”Yes. Make it two sets of everything. And he's paying. Thanks, Max.”

Zeus assures while pointing at me.

He then left the counter to join Zephyr at the table, who is enjoying her chicken nuggets and whatever toys she gets with her happy meals. Plural. She has multiple happy meals.

”Is your friend okay?”

June asks me while I ponder to myself how will I pay for all of this junk foods.

I obviously don't have enough cash in my pocket, but I could make enough cash in an instant.

That would be injecting counterfeit into the economy, which I don't want to. It will just mess up things in a lot of ways even if the United States Government will be unable to oust my counterfeit bills.

I guess I will be using credit card then. I do have unlimited funds via Chrono Reserves. Well, that is not true. As long as I keep it under a billion dollar per purchase, it will be fine.

”Yes. He's fine. He is just a Saiyan. And I will have whatever he is having.”
