Chapter 271 - THE CURSE 01 (1/2)

'And I mean from the VERY beginning of the creation of the Multiverse' And Azief eyes toward Sith'lenor narrowed.

From the beginning he said.

From the very beginning of the Multiverse. That is an odd word choice

This word caught Azief attention. And it clearly caught the other people attention as well. Oreki look at Sith'lenor however he did not seem shocked.

Hirate and the others also did not seem visibly shocked.

Sith'lenor did not say the very beginning of this story instead he spoke of Multiverse. Then Azief remember Sith'lenor spoke that he guarded the multiverse.

Then he remembers the stories he heard that he once dismissed as myths and folk tales of a different civilizations.

Azief eyebrows furrowed

Azief of course knew what the Multiverse means.

The multitude of Universes that exist.

To be more accurate it is a hypothetical group of multiple universes including the universe in which he lives.

Together these universes comprise everything that exist, the entirety of space, time, matter, energy and the physical laws and constants that describe them.

The different universe within the multiverse is either called parallel universe, other universes or alternate universes

While not many people knew that these once hypothetical matters is no longer hypothetical, all of the people present here inside this bunker knows there are alternate universes out there.

Clearly Azief was not the only one that knows about the barrier between worlds

Hirate look toward Raymond and this did not escape Azief attention.

Then he remembers the inventions of the World Government and Azief suddenly something clicks inside Azief mind.

He only smirks

'So, that is how' He said to himself.

Suddenly the leap of technological advancement in the World Government makes sense to Azief.

Azief was not the only one that has been exploiting other worlds.

Azief uses the World Orb to break through the barrier but the World Government might have other ways to travel to other parallel universes.

But there is a reason why Azief did not enter wildly into other Universes or alternate universes. After all he knew the price of doing such things.

He learned it the hard way on Earth two.

Each time one break through; it created a crack in the proverbial walls between their reality and this world reality.

Slowly that crack in that proverbial wall will widen with each breaking through and when it is unable to hold the pressure….then that wall will crumble down.

And then all manners of madness will ensue. Thing will go out of place, places and people will be displaced between the colliding realities until even memories could be replaced.

Reality is actually fragile. Extremely fragile. Azief knows this better than anyone.

'Heh' he scoffed.

He looks around the room and he is sure everyone here knows about the existence of the multiverse.

The reason why the great forces of the world knew about the existence of the multiverse is mostly because of the Dimensional Traveler and of course Will escapades that have been investigated by the World Government and the Republic.

Azief look back at Sith'lenor and then his eyes shining he said

'Please continue' Sith'lenor then take a deep breath and then he brought out an orb from his war armor sleeve.

The Orb seems to contain images.

He throws it to the middle of the table. The Orb then emanated an aura of Time as it spins and the entire room turns into a projection of the Universe.

'What?' Hirate was shocked and almost anyone in the room was startled. Then they looked around them.

And all they could see was the infinite expanse of darkness and stars.

It was like all the people inside the room are floating in nothingness while still sitting in their chair.

'History Projection Orb' Sith'lenor said. Then smiling apologetically he said

'It is easier to tell the story while also seeing it'

He waved his hand

Then all the people inside the room saw a huge planet probably fifteen times larger than Earth or maybe more.

It is full of life, with Great Sea separating continents and huge and tall mountains that reached the blue clouds, with great cities that is full of Orvanians.

On top of the sky is a purple sun shining over the bluish green Orvanians.

'Orvan' Azief exclaim in astonishment.

And Sith'lenor nodded.

'Yes, this is Orvan during the beginning of our civilization' Then he began his story as the scene dissipated and reform back to show a few Orvanians emanating power of the Laws of the Universe from their entire body watching the stars using a floating telescope-like device.

They seem to be discussing with each other and they have that aura of something very ancient. Azief immediately recognizes this.

It is the same feeling he felt when he found the Eternal Rings

'It is a Galaxy Scope' Sith'venar said from behind Sith'lenor.

'The Old Ones used to use it to watch the life forms that is sprouting all over the Vast Galaxies and calculate their probability of evolving to a higher level of existence.'

Azief could sense pride and awe in Sith'venar tone when he is talking about them

Sith'lenor only smiles slightly hearing Sith'venar telling about the Old Ones. He gestured Sith'venar to stop as it seems like he is about to continue.

Sith'venar blushes slightly and then shut his mouth.

He then begins his story

'We Orvanians were one of the first few races that exist after the Etherna race in the starry skies'

A scene appeared a superimposed the image of an Etherna with the planet Orvan. The sheer size of an Etherna causes everyone inside the room to pale in the face.

Azief eyes sharpened.

Azief was the only one not shocked among them. He saw the images of an Etherna before. He was scared and shocked too during that time.

To think that such a huge creature existed and conquers the entire Universe

Alsurt showed him the images before and he also saw them in some other ruins of ancient civilizations.

'Did they still exist? These Etherna's?' Hirate ask cautiously as his eyes look at that titanic image.

They were all still floating in space in this projection of the starry skies.

If not for the fact that all of them could still breathe normally and they could still feel the walls of the room, they might even think they were being transported into space.

Sith'lenor smiles and then said

'Fortunately they were driven into extinction and they no longer exist'

'Thank God' Hirate said under his breath.

Raymond also closes his eyes in relief. If there is such a powerful and large race of alien in the Universe, no one would feel at ease.

It also fills Raymond heart with urgency.

'Earth is not ready' He thought of it in his mind as he look at Hirate and Hirate nodded. He could read what Raymond was thinking and they both agreed.

Project Genesis is not enough. Azief saw Raymond looking at Hirate and looking at Hirate nodding Azief smirk.

'They are communicating telepathically'

Sith'lenor continue his story

'In that time, as the Etherna conquered Universe after Universe, we Orvanians relying on our super intellect hide our entire star system from their eyes using or technologies. Even with their abilities, they could not uncover us'

The scene changed and the crowd could see planets being hurled by these titanic beings like they were some projectile weapons.

The explosion that happened in space defied the laws of physics.

The sight of planet colliding against each other and the gravity pull that these planets produced during when they collided causes everything to distort, space, time, matters and concepts of the Universe, forcing the seams of reality onto a dangerous edge

They also saw some of the Etherna devour planets with their large mouth and crush planet with their bare hands.

And amidst all this great destruction that plagued the Universe, the crowd also saw Orvan disappeared and with it their entire Universe.

The star system of Orvan disappeared without a trace, without a smoke, without any hints whatsoever.

It was like they never existed, overturning the Laws of Space and Time.

Sith'lenor pointed to that area with his finger and then explained.

'Our planet could not be detected and could not be seen and so we survived the Ethernian onslaught'

Pondering, Raymond then asked.

'Were you the only races around that time that survives the Etherna onslaught?' Sith'lenor then answered

'We were not the only one that survives the slaughtering. But one could say there are not many that survive it. It was a period of great warfare in the Universe. The Deharian race also survives but their bad decision after that caused their entire race being annihilated'

Sith'lenor did not show the Deharian race as he only spoke of it.
