The lights dimmed plunging the room into darkness and the assistant opened the file projecting the image in the middle of the room.
A six-foot-tall silver hair ending with sky blue and sea blue eyes wearing a black trench coat covered in patterns of cyan glow with a pair of white tee along with jeans and a pair of silver-colored gloves and boots while having her face hidden behind a silvery mask with intricate patterns glowing cyan with her piercing blue eyes and crimson lips visible, leaving her beautiful visage to the imagination.
Looking at the hologram of the woman with piercing blue eyes and futuristic clothes, covering her hair with a mask against a crystal blue lake with cyan mist looming over the lake and the sea of silver flowers beside it, Lathen leaned forward as his expression turned serious from his previous lazy posture with interest brewing heavier in his eyes as his lips upturned a little.
"I am Aeon, the person behind Aeon Group. Which you probably have guessed when you saw the hologram projector." Said Zera in the hologram in a silvery voice with a slight smile apparent on her lips.
"I was the one who ordered those killings last night. For what, you ask. Uhm, you can say to remove cancer from society. Naa, just kidding, I am not a holy angel to do such thankless things.
For the better survival of mankind in the upcoming period of turbulence that's going to happen in another 12 years. What turbulence do you ask?
Well didn't the scientists notify you that the mass and the radius of the earth are increasing in the past decade? New types of mutant plants and animals with strength shouldn't be possible to exert, new minerals, and the environment getting better suddenly.
You should know these things by now and if you still think that it isn't much of an issue, tsk I can light a candle for your citizens.
Some of you have already found the cause of this, yeah that new energy you found in the atmosphere. That's known as Aura. Use it correctly, it promotes evolution and can also cause destruction in some hands.
The main point is Earth is going through the process of transforming from a Tier-10 planet to a Tier-9 planet which leads to the availability of aura promoting the evolution of beings on it let it be sapient non-sapient.
Yeah, that's right. Like those superhero novels, you gain strength and others through evolution explained in the attached document.
Here comes the important point i.e, Uhm, never mind there will be a live broadcast sometime in the next week...Hmm, whenever they attack I guess. Anyway, you guys can see the video to know the strength of evolutionary beasts and humans and decide for yourselves what to do afterward, fight among different countries or unite for once.
Anyway, you might have already noticed the unstable magnetic fields of the planet, shortly your satellites will be down while only our group's satellite will be working so consider this first and connect to the meeting at 20:00 on the day of the broadcast."
The hologram ended plunging the room into darkness as the lights gradually brightened.
Lathen returned to his lazy posture with his eyes closed as if taking a nap as the assistant in the room was still in a daze unable to recover from the sudden information dump received just now.
'So now the world has turned into a fantasy. I guess we will see real witches and ghosts on Halloween who scare the shit of the ones unwilling to donate chocolates or some precious herbs for evolution, as it's a fantasy world now.
At Least the future is going to be thrilling instead of sitting behind the desk going through those never-ending reports, having to wear a hypocritical smile on my face and slowly becoming the one that I hate the most just to sit here.'
Lathen walked towards the balcony pulling aside the curtains overseeing the busy city in the afternoon and took a look at the clear blue sky taking a deep breath of fresh air. Opening after closing his eyes for a few moments, Lathen's eyes shined bright in the afternoon glow with long-lost hope for the future unlike the dead eyes till now as if nothing matters anymore.
"Sen, open that document and let me take a look," Said Lathen as he walked back into the office with brisk footsteps bringing his assistant Sen from his daze.
'Here I come, fantasy world, I wonder if it's possible to make oaths. It would be great if it is. No need to deal with those hypocrites in word games lasting hours on end without reaching a conclusion.'
At the same time in various parts of the world different watching the image of Zera confessing about the murder and the things about the evolution, later on, everyone had different opinions. Some clamored to list her as an international wanted criminal, danger to human society, a sociopath and the list goes on. While some just said a job well done when they read the crimes of the ones that were killed. All this has no impact on Zera as she no longer cared about the consequences after she issued the order for slaughter and she won't even care even if she knows some people might use it to damage her reputation later on.
...…
In the wood-looking house of Zera beside the Auraspring laughter could be heard as Zera and her little brothers celebrated after coming back from a night of hunting.
Looking at the faces of Ren, Lancer, Inora, and Avory who have now grown up into handsome men and women. Zera had a smile on her lips as she took a sip of orange juice while they feasted on a freshly hunted mutant rabbit along with mutant chicken and a variety of mutant vegetable all from the pasture beside the base where a variety of crops are farmed using diluted Spring liquid and all kinds of domesticated livestock making the base self-sufficient, even leaving with tons of excess grain in the past couple of years.
As the sun sets over the horizon all the people in the house fall asleep Ren lying on Inora's lap while Lancer and Avory sleep leaning against the beanbags with a mess all over the floor.
Shaking her head at the mess, Zera passed by them and went outside taking a look at the moon visible in the sky.
'The weather looks nice, a good time to break through to Level-5 Human Exceed tonight then.'
