After what seemed like an eternity, They finally reached their 'destination', It was actually a dark empty space just like their previous localization, but he could somehow see in the dark, and he saw something more spectacular than the concept ever introduced in text books.
In front of him was a huge rock that seemed like it attracted other rocks, and those asteroids all hit and seemed to be smoothed out into the huge rock and turned into a part of the huge rock. This continued for thousands and thousands of years, though Great Heart only saw it happen in a few hours thanks to The Ghostly Being's interference with time.
After the asteroids stopped hitting and started glazing by the gargantuan rock, the core of the rock started heating up because of all the pressure exerted on it and it soon created a circular lava pool with a diameter that was bigger than the size Of Earth itself.
" Well, this is officially a planet " Claimed the Ghostly Being.
" Wow! I didn't know Planet formation could be so interesting, even those videos of it i have seen in my past life didn't look so accurate and cool! " Great Heart was looking at the Planet with starlight in his eyes, ah! , the joy of geniuses when they discover new things!
" What shall we name it? " Asked Great Heart with excitement never before seen in his past life.
" Actually, it's already named " The Ghostly Being flicked his finger.
Great Heart felt pressure overwhelm him, and it soon led him to the planet's core, he was scared and didn't want to be burned to nothingness so he resisted but it was to no avail. He soon found himself in the hottest corner of the planet, the center by all three dimensions. In this place , the planet was so hot it could rival the strength of a star's hydrogen burning shell(1) and could vaporize the weak essence of the metals and rocks and only leave the strong parts at liquid form.
Strangely though, Great Heart felt the heat but he didn't feel any pain, most likely because he doesn't even a have physical body. Great Heart was still being led by the immense pressure exerted by the Ghostly Being and then, something changed. Great Heart started feeling a kind of numbness in his imaginary limbs and felt like they were extending and becoming bigger, and bigger, until he only actually felt one circular giant limb, he became a planet...
It felt weird to be a planet, because he didn't have any senses yet he could sense anything inside the perimeter of the planet, it was like a frog in a well that would be able to see the well, but only saw darkness if he tried to see outside, it wasn't necessarily a bad feeling but it made him uncomfortable because it felt like his freedom was being restricted and challenged.
" Being a planet isn't necessarily bad, but can someone please tell me why i don't see any home star near me???? " Asked Great Heart in his mind as he didn't have a mouth anymore.
" Oh, it seems like you're a rogue planet, a planet that doesn't belong to any star and just travels through the vast universe " said the Ghostly Being calmly.
" I know what a rogue planet means! But couldn't you at least take me to a planet belonging to a star! how can i accumulate heat now? do you really think i want to stay as a hot desolate planet? " Exclaimed Great Heart, he was, after all, truly angry.
" That would have been easy but i'm too lazy, so deal with it! and i thought you were one of the smartest people on Earth, yet you can't find a solution! " This Ghostly Being does not like people who mess with him, so he challenged Great Heart intentionally to reveal his competitive nature then give him a solution thereby gaining his trust.
" Are you talking about that vaporized hot metal? I can't use that to heat up the planet as all the heat would just leak out because i don't have an atmosphere! " Great Heart was a truly intelligent person, so he quickly gave a gullible argument to defend himself.
" Well, i can give you an atmosphere if you give me enough energy. " Stated the Ghostly Being calmly
" So you master the laws of Equivalent Exchange? "
asked Greatheart calmly.
" what equivalent exchange? while my sentience is here, my real body is still out here absorbing energy, in fact, i have infinite reserves of energy, okay, not infinite but what i meant is that i get substantially more energy than my energy expenditurw, Thereby creating almost infinite reserves of energy! if i wanted to give you an atmosphere i could do it without receiving anything and that's what i will do! After all i don't need your lousy impure energy! " Ghostly felt like he was being underestimated so he decided to show off. In fact, Ghostly then flicked his finger and created a thin layer of a cloudy substance over the huge planet.
" You're welcome, no need to thank me. " Said Ghostly with pride.
" So a multiverse does exist? " Greatheart was serious for the first time ever, after all he had been researching on a lot of hypotheses back in Earth and the multiverse theory was one that really striked his heart as it sounded so fictional yet so real.
" The multiverse was composed out of nihility, and the borders of a universe are formed out of space-time distortions, which is why no creature would ever be able to get past them. We are an exception, we are the failed universes, the ones that kill universes, if i told you how much universes i have absorbed when my sentience was forming you would feel lucky for being alive. " Uttered Ghostly with a bitter voice, as if he hated the past.
" If the multiverse was formed out of nihility, since nihility equals Absolute Zero and Absolute Zero equals Infinity, then doesn't that mean the multiverse is infinite " Greatheart was a curious man so he immediately asked this to cast away his doubts.
" You are very smart indeed, it took me more than a few nonillions of universes to understand this truth... " Ghostly felt like he revealed a bit too much about himself so he immediately shut his mouth, though he doesn't have one.
" What does that even mean ? " Greatheart was confused so he asked Ghostly to elaborate.
Ghostly didn't respond and the atmosphere(2) immediately turned tense and sour, but with their silence it soon loosened up and they even forgot about their mysterious and awkward interactions.
" Did you know you could map the surroundings using a feature i gave you? " Voiced out Ghostly.
" Great, how can i activate it? " Greatheart replied with another question.
" Just think about a map and it will appear " Replied Ghostly while praising his own powers.
Greatheart did exactly that and a map appeared in her mind, it was circular and the map was set at a diameter of 100 light years and he could also modify it, which he did. He first zoomed in at about 945 thousand kilometers and he could see the huge planet that was actually himself and then he zoomed out into a few million light years but he strangely could not observe anything in that huge diameter. No stars, no galaxies..... He was unconvinced so he zoomed out even more into a few billion light years and he still could not see anything, it was empty and desolate....
" This is weird, Ghostly, why is there no galaxy cluster in the surrounding few billion light years " Asked Greatheart while he thought about a terrifying possibility.
" Oh, you're right, i just tried to sense and i didn't even find a star, and there are also no galaxies! "
Ghostly found this completely normal so he didn't panic at all.
" We can't be in a supervoid(3), Can we? Even a supermassive black hole wouldn't be able to create such a huge patch of empty void !!!!! "
