V.19
The press conference was all about Ganesh, the voice of Dianna can be clearly heard far and wide.
Almost everyone was surprised and took a deep breath. It must be said that GT never talked about Ganesh, at least not as the main topic; they would mention it once in a while or even joke about them.
Many media outlets have tried to open this topic on many interviews with GT only to be brushed aside. But now GT is going to talk about it.
But many didn't come here for it. After all, Ganesh is not a new topic as countless scholars and even GFA are very open about it. In fact, many GFA spokesperson openly talks about it.
But despite their dissatisfaction, they didn't say anything. For one, it's not time for them to talk or ask questions yet, and second, they also want to hear about GT's opinion about Ganesh.
"You must all be wondering why I am talking about this outdated topic." Dianna smiles looking at the expression of everyone. She then continued.
"First and foremost, let me clear all your misconceptions about them. Ganesh is not a race, they are nothing but mindless creations built for war. That's right, they are artificially built, not born."
She again looked at everyone. But this time, their expressions are different from before as surprise and confusion can be seen on their faces.
Boom! All the people's minds went blank. The information is too much for them to bear after all, this information is privy only to a very select few. Even in GFA, only the elders and the top research scientists are privy to it.
Even outside the GT's PPB immediately became very quiet. Everyone can hear their heartbeat speeding up.
"And make no mistake they are not clones. At Least not 100%. I know you have many questions but save that for later as She smiles and said: let me first play a video for you..."
Back in Karou's secret agency HQ, a man can be seen cursing.
"Damn them, we must stop them if this continues, all our efforts would be for nothing. A video?" He has a bad feeling about it.
In Ganesh HQ. Karou was also watching the said press conference. He shows no expression on his face despite Diana revealing the true nature of the Ganesh, after all to him it makes no difference whether they know it or not. But for some reason, he has a bad feeling about it. He just doesn't show it on his face.
In the GFA's elders conference chamber, every one of them has question marks over their head. They could not see what or why would GT need to reveal this information. After all, revealing it doesn't change the fact people are beginning to question the purpose of the war. And they couldn't see any advantage to GT if the war with Ganesh is stopped.
And when they hear Dianna is going to show a video, their confusion only deepens. But they didn't have to wait long for the video to play.
Soon the massive screen on the background began to light up. And the many questions about the purpose of it when they first entered has now been answered. Many speculated that it's for showing promotion or ads while waiting, but after waiting for some time, the massive screen remains turned off.
As the huge screen comes to life, Outside of GT, where the conference is being held, the huge screen's pictures changed from the inside of the conference to some unknown room.
At first the only thing they saw was a ceiling. Then they heard the voice, and they couldn't tell if it's a male or female voice because it's been deliberately distorted a little to make the voice distinguishable from male to female. But they can clearly understand what it was saying.
When the camera zooms out, revealing two individuals, one smaller-looking like a human, he or she was wearing a robe covering all features. And the other one is a huge human. It looks human in every way except for the size and the color of the skin. Its skin is deep grey like wet ash.
It also has a slit on its forehead, like a third eye that was closed.
"How are you, professor?" Said the human.
"Hmmph, what do you think? Just how long are you going to keep me here?"
"Oh come now professor, that's a stupid question to ask, and you know it."
"Che, whatever I should be glad I'm being treated, hmmm, what's your race word for it.. hmmm, that's right humanely." Said the Professor.
"Looks like you knew a lot about our race."
Karou's eyes almost popped out when he saw who it was, as it was none other than his missing top scientist The Professor.
GFA elders have even more questions in their heads, clearly they didn't recognize the race of the giant human. Even more so for everyone watching the video. They didn't know why GT is showing some unknown Alien race, but many assertive people began to connect the dots.
After all, Dianna already gave all the clues. The first was they are talking about Ganesh, and second, the Ganesh are created not born. In other words, the giant over there can only be the race that created the Ganesh.
Some people managed to figure it out, but many still have question marks over their heads.
"Hahaha, of course, I know all about your race. And not just your race but every race capable of traveling the stars in this galaxy."
Many alien races manage to recognize the race the giant belonged to. Especially those who have been to the main universe, unfortunately, those capable of going back and forth to the main universe are very few, and they all have one thing in common: they like to keep their secrets to themselves.
Of course, everyone can't be as tight-lipped as they are, some who can't control themselves immediately revealed the name of the race.
In a very famous forum, a single comment exploded. The comment was very simple, it only states several words, but what it contained answered everyone's questions.
The comment goes like this "that's a Vanir, a battle race from the main universe."
And just like that, that comment has been reposted over and over again, and in just a matter of a few minutes almost everyone received a notification about it.
Back in the conference room, the video continued to play.
"Is that so? And why would you do that? What interests you, a famous race in the main universe, making an effort to study us. After all, our galaxy is very small; it can even be considered a backwater Galaxy. There are countless galaxies out there who are far more richer than us. So why us?"
When they heard it, everyone paid even more attention to the video. Those who were talking to each other immediately stopped and looked at the screen.
The Professor didn't answer immediately, he looked at the person in front of him. At first, he had the same questions when they received the order to take over a certain backwater Galaxy. And when he read the information regarding the race living in it, he immediately looked down on them; no in fact, he couldn't even bother to look down on the things that are comparable to ants, he just steps on them and crushes them.
Like a human walking on the street, he wouldn't bother to look down when walking to see if there's an ant in front of him.
And that is how he sees the inhabitants of this galaxy. If not for their master's careful warning, they wouldn't even bother studying them.
But all that changed when he was captured by a force capable of subduing a Berserker that even his master would need to look again. After all, even the weakest of berserkers are capable of great devastation. Even in the main universe, such power needs to be feared.
"To be honest, I have the same questions. What does this godforsaken galaxy have that our master has taken an interest in that he would divide a portion of his forces despite needing it himself." He stopped himself before he said something that will implicate his master.
"But that matters not. Orders have been given, and we will follow it regardless of our desires, as for why we know so much about you. That's a stupid question, don't you think? In order to make something, you first need to know what it's going to be." Said the Professor while smirking.
"The one you called Ganesh. I created it, designed it based on the information about all of you, to better subjugate you, and to claim this galaxy for our master."
Boom! When everyone heard those words, it was like an explosion of bombs exploding in their heads. Now they know who or what the Ganesh is all about. Their purpose and the identity of those who control it in the background. Nobody doubts the video's authenticity as GT would not do something so stupid as to fake something like this as they would gain nothing from it. And the identity of the giant has also been confirmed.
"Really! It's not very good, is it? After all, we decimated your forces and even managed to take you as a prisoner. Did you read the wrong report?" Said the human with a mocking tone.
Everyone watching cannot see the human's face, but just hearing his words, they can clearly picture the mocking look on his face.
The professor smirk disappeared when he heard it. After all, he could not deny his words.
"I have to admit, I have clearly underestimated you, especially you who would have thought a force like you exists in this galaxy. Not to mention there's an upstart company who seems to be giving my creation some troubles."
"Oh, you're talking about GT? They are indeed quite impressive despite the limitations of knowledge, they were able to come up with ingenious weapons, capable of giving your creation quite some troubles.
They indeed pique our interest. But let's not talk about them, it's about you and your people. Can I ask you nicely to leave this galaxy alone." Said the human figure with a joking tone.
But the Professor didn't find it funny, in fact he found it insulting, but he didn't show it. After all, this human in front of him is part of the organization that stopped the berserker.
"You can mock me all you like human, but when my master gets here, all of you will pay for it."
The human figure didn't reply immediately.
"You keep calling me human. Who told you I am a human?." Suddenly two bright red eyes of the machine burned beneath the robe. Even the voice turned slightly metallic, as surprise and shock can be seen on Professor's face.
Then the video ended.
