Chapter 4
Red beam of energy was being thrown into s.p.a.ce where there was a tunnel so wide that a whole s.p.a.ce s.h.i.+p can pa.s.s through it, it looked like as if someone had made a hole in a sheet of metal with a high temp plaza cutter. the s.p.a.ce around the rift was red because of high temperature while constantly being burned with more energy being poured into the tunnel.
Ace was confident that he could leave before the wars.h.i.+ps of the humanity prime arrived just because of this s.p.a.ce drill. t.i.tanium Dragon entered the tunnel while still constantly firing the cannon and as soon as the s.h.i.+p entered the tunnel, the s.p.a.ce began to close it self. Hole began to close as the s.p.a.ce returned to normal as if the spatial tunnel didn't even exist in the first place.
the s.p.a.ce inside the spatial tunnel was special s.p.a.ce where short distance travelled was equivalent to long distance travelled in normal s.p.a.ce, t.i.tanium Dragon's speed was really fast and in two days it arrived at it's destination. Ace slow down the s.p.a.ce s.h.i.+p as all the s.p.a.ce around t.i.tanium dragon was collapsing towerds the s.h.i.+p which forcefully threw the s.h.i.+p into real world. one of the reason why s.h.i.+ps needed to be strong enough was because there was no way to get outside of the spatial s.p.a.ce unless the s.h.i.+p absorbed the impact of the forcefully being thrown out of the spatial s.p.a.ce. Ace was put inside a s.p.a.cial biopod so that his body won't be harmed while traveling in such a dangerous Condition.
Ace woke up with the sound of AI of the s.h.i.+p telling him that he had reached his destination. he looked at the blue holographic screen as the system showed no sign of hostile s.h.i.+ps nearby and he was already near his aunt's planet. His father's Gift was truly amazing. " that was fast.....those old man...tch, they know their stuff....haha " he was in good mood as everytime he met his aunt he felt warm inside as his aunt was his only family left who really cared about him.
The s.p.a.ce s.h.i.+p landed near a huge building which was like a mechanical arm and the arm like building grabbed the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p as if lifting a toy sending it towards a nearby building which was like a business tower but was also guarded like a bunker. exit hatch of the s.p.a.ce s.h.i.+p was directly attached with tower's top floor as Ace didn't have to walk all the way to tower after getting out of the s.p.a.ce s.h.i.+p and was able to enter straight into her aunt's office.
Ace entered through the door and he saw a fully mechanical lady sitting on the office chair. she looked like a doll and was very beautiful. her aunt was also an expert in bio modifications and was said to be closest to achiving a non-human lifestyle. she had changed most of the body parts in her body from cellular level except for her heart, brain and reproductive parts. Although she did made some modifications to her brain, Ace didn't know how much she had modified her brain.
As soon
It was a secret that even Ace himself didn't knew. Ace was raised in slums secretly to protect him from their rival groups and was influenced by lifestyle of slums. later he was introduced as successor of trouper star sector and was given both her brother's and her father's memory core. he wasn't as intelligent before but she was the one that made some modifications to his brain and inserted memory of the knowledge related to his father and his grandfather's research.
Ace was then inserted a special program which made him more interested towerds the technology rather than novels, this was just so that trouper family's next generation won't be incompetent. But they didn't know that Ace was an innate genius just like his father and grandfather. As soon as his attention was diverted towerds technology, he made inventions after inventions and shoked the universe.
Marline got up from her seat and gave him a firm hug before looking at his face while holding rubbing both of his cheek " You've grown a little chubby since last time....are you neglecting your health? I am sorry but I can't let you stay here, Humanity Prime's s.h.i.+ps Will be here soon and they would at most take double the time to arrive here so you have two days to prepare. you need to escape again and get out of the reach of those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds! I will take my own fleet and stop them " she smiled at him and kissed him on his forehead.
Ace felt warmth inside his heart as he looked at her " don't worry....two days are enough for me, I can perfect the new drill in two days and open a portal to a new universe and we can escape into it....would you come with me? "
Hearing this Merline shook her head as she looked at her with exhausted eyes " you don't know about the State of this universe since you are such a young boy. no one would share this information with you, but I'll tell you today, why humanity prime is so much eager to have this drill. " she then projected a map of nearby galaxies on the holographic screen in her office.
the map was showing a galaxy cl.u.s.ter in a dark and empty patch of darkness. Merline looked at him and said " we taught the future generations that universe is endless and there are unlimited amount of galaxies in the universe. that is true but look here....only our galaxy cl.u.s.ter is there in the entire observable universe and all the galaxies are starting to get away from each other. After few thousand years, humanity will be finished. it's like we are on an island and all the other islands are already out of reach, as the time pa.s.ses, our own island on which we live on is running out of resources."
hearing this sudden downpour of information made Ace shocked a little. He knew that this would happen sooner or later and the real reason his father and grandfather died definitely had something to do with this phenomenon. His grandfather was able to predict that there are multiverse, and he also knew that someone would open up a path to another universe. He didn't believe that Humanity prime would kill him just because he had invented something new.
Merline looked at his confused face " I'll tell you about why your grandfather died. he knew that something like a multiverse travelling technology would be developed. He knew too much and he couldn't let his Memory core fall into the hands of wrong powers, he knew that universe was ending and Trouper family was key to save humanity from anahilation. he wanted humanity to be free and not under the control of humanity prime, that's why he killed himself and gave his own memory core to his son "
Merline touched his forehead as three holographic b.a.l.l.s of energy appeared in front of his eyes " the red ball is your grandfather's memory core. when you reached 20 I was supposed to unlocked the secret knowledge about ending of the universe " as she said that she touched the red ball and it shone in red light as lots of new information about data and proofs of how universe would end appeared in his mind.
" blue ball is your father's core, he also got the memory core your grandfather before you but he wasn't able to solve the puzzle of breaking past the multiverse to enter a new world " she looked at him and smiled " but he was a genius...he was close and at last, you designed the new drill based on his designs. "
she smiled at him and looked at third ball which was a white ball " this is your memory core, it will store all your data, I'll now unlock all the sealed data so that you can know the whole truth "
Ace gained even more information from all the sealed information being released from all three cores as he now knew that his parents and grandparents sacrificed themselves to protect the secret of the End of the Universe. He now knew that he had accomplished the mission which his grandfather had given to his father. He knew that he must leave if wanted to survive, He must enter a new universe to run away from the Humanity prime. He knew that humanity prime was waiting for him to develop the technology and just as he did, they would kill him as soon as possible. they didn't need a genius, they just needed his technology and they can rebuild it.
