Chapter 136

Chapter 136

I stood at the base of Yggdrasil .

“A large number of creatures have developed around it . ”

“The old desert of Eden was no more . In its place where thick and lush forests with tall canopies which blotted out the sun . ”

“It’s changed a lot . ”

These were the fruits of that seed I had planted 6 . 6 billion years ago . I felt moved, in awe of the power and tenacity of life .

“I wonder how much its grown . ”

Was the first thought which came to mind as I walked up to the World Tree, looking up and being unable to fathom its height .

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Hundreds of arrows landed before me as a telepathic warning appeared in my mind .

“What was that?”

“Elves… no, with those features I guess they’d be High Elves . ”

‘Don’t come any closer, stranger! If you approach the Great Mother, then the next arrows will pierce your heart . ’

“Annoying… Lena put up a shield . ”

“On it . ”

I ignored their warning and simply walked forward .

Swoosh! Swoosh! Ping!

Hundreds of arrows took flight, but the results were as expected . Those primitive arrows which would even have trouble piercing leather armor, didn’t even leave a dent on the shield .

‘Prepare to pay the price of ignoring our goodwill!’

They sent out telepathically as I noticed dozens of High Elves casting their magic .

“Oh, resorting to magic now is it? Fine, I’ve had enough of your impudence . Material Creation! Material Creation!”

I once again created a vacuum tube and filled it with a very small amount of positron .

“Lena!”

“You are only planning to stun them, right Johra?”

“Right . ”

“I’ve calculated the blast zone and projected it on your cornea . I’ll also activate the shield when the time comes, so please throw it whenever you are ready . ”

Kuuuuuuukung

After a far toss, the positrons which exploded in the distance resulted in an enormous shockwave . My shield was easily able to absorb it, but all the nearby Elves had been instantly knocked unconscious .

“All 314 of them have fainted . There have been no deaths and not even any serious injuries . ”

“Good . ”

I had finally arrived within an arms lengths of the tree trunk .

“Lena?”

“By simply raising your arm, you can activate the master key . ”

Ziing

I was teleported to the core of the World Tree .

“Oh, this is pretty cool . ”

“Of course, this is the result of our planning and its evolution over the past 6 . 6 billion years . ”

I had mixed in parts of Lena when creating Yggdrasil . The nano parts we had left behind were based on what we knew of the Worlds Nectar, which helped shape its evolution during all these years .

The World Tree was a product of magic and engineering, but it could also be regarded as a supremely evolved version of Lena .

What would be the result of an evolution based A . I . with 6 . 6 billion years of experience .

“Welcome Creator Johra . ”

A message rang throughout the room in a warm greeting .

“I’ve been in a bind, why is it that you haven’t reached out yet?

“Please call me Machina”

“You want to be referred to as a machine? You’ve already evolved far past that point . ”

“Since I’m your creation, Machina will suffice . ”

“Okay, but you won’t betray me in the same way Skyfather has, will you?”

“I’m faithful to my cause . Skyfather who is plagued with Abaddon’s divinity, he has however followed Johra’s command for the last 6,600,002,542 years, 11 months, 3 days, 2 hours, 5 minutes and 21 seconds . ”

“Hmm… Avadon’s divinity…then is yours a different one?”

“It is Johra’s divinity which had given me life, so I am dedicated to your cause . ”

“And what do you believe to be my cause, Machina?”

“I’ve had a long time to examine it . Every cell of mine is infused with nano particles, and my body has grown to pierce through 134,424 different universes . Any information can be transmitted within me at speeds which exceeds light and I can think faster than any other living being . Through this analysis I’ve come to the conclusion that I exist for the sole purpose of supporting life to these universes .

“Ha ha ha, you’re right my child!”

“Thank you, Creator Johra . ”

I was then briefed by Machina about what had happened over the years . It was 6 . 6 billion years worth of information, so it took 100 days before it could summarize everything .

“Well, I guess I know everything I need . ”

“Will you be heading out?”

“Yes Machina, you’ve done well in your duties as a watcher while I’ve been away . ”

“As you well know, my branches have spread to every universe . Most of the things which creatures refer to as magic is simply based on a system I have created . I can hand you the power to override all kinds of magic . ”

“Oh, is that so?”

“Yes, you can use any spell you want, and you can also choose to negate any magic as well . ”

“Wasn’t magic a product of elementary particles, I think Lena had explained it to me as such . ”

“That is correct, but it is my network which controls the situation because I created it that way in every universe which I’ve spread myself to . ”

“Hmm… it’s indeed true that everything within a universe is now under your influence . ”

“That’s right . ”

“Perhaps we can use it for more than just influencing though . “

“You can also monitor any situation at any given moment . My branches stretch out to every corner of all the universes, there isn’t any information which I don’t know about . ”

“Great, but sometimes knowing too much can be a bad thing . ”

I’ll remember that, Creator Johra .

You have done enough already, Lena, set up the array . ”

“Got it!”

As Lena was hard at work with the array, I instructed Machina .

“Be ready to respond to my call at any time . ”

“Yes, Creator Johra . Are you referring to the spare parts of Skyfather and the time travel machine?”

“Yes, those too, but first I’ll go and meet and old friend .

“We will stay in touch, Creator . ”

Shhot

The next moment the array had activated and my surroundings had changed .
