Chapter 17 - Culture!

As kirean flips on the switch you can instantly feel heat that'll put suns to shame thankfully it was only an instant as the cooling runes started working, at this point Gaia was practically a super reactor giving off a solar system worth of energy, as 10 minutes go by the panel infront of kirean turns on and a Ultima female with purple skin appears on it
"Greetings forefather!" Said the lady on the screen, as her intelligence was made of kireans blood it's practically the same as beeing a real Ultima but in computer sense

Kirean hearing her was first stunned then turned back to normal as this was all expected 'Gaia is basically another variant of an Ultima should we mark her existence as a species and create more' thought kirean as it was very clear that the effects were more shocking than estimated as Gaia has a conscious as soon as she awoke and due to the Ultima blood it's just like a new born Ultima

Kirean snapped out of his thought and said "your name is Gaia as you are made to protect all sapient life forms and life forms with potential to be sapient but remember ultimas are always first your second purpose is to govern all life in my empire" said kirean with a serious voice as Gaia goes silent for ten minutes to do calculations it seems

"Forefather this task can be done as for the second one is easier as I got the ultimas inheritance which includes all governing experience" said Gaia as she finished her calculations it took so long too calculate if protecting all life forms was even possible

Hearing her answer kirean relaxed as he then asked "what are your abilities?" Hearing kirean question Gaia instantly smiles and says "forefather I have discovered a new dimension, the dimension of energy, using the material plane and the energy dimension I could connect to any regular AI in the universe and send and receive messages instantly, the regular AI are just AIs built using regular Ultima blood instead of forefathers blood as I am the main AI I have full control over regular AI, forefather I also believe the ultimas actually subconsciously use this space between the material and energy dimension to use the teleportation ultimas can only use 3 times a day and only can teleport to theyre wedding partner, as ultimas are also entities of energy like me the ultimas are extremely close too all energy and compatible with them too it only makes sense for us to have a connection to the energy dimension"
As Gaia finished her lecture kirean was stunned to find out Gaia can basically give other to any planet and ship with a regular AI on them instantly
While amber on the other hand had a face of disbelief at the part of energy dimension as this implies to much and can create another boom in technology thinking of this she started shacking like always wishing to go to her lab right now and study the wedding teleportation, seeing her like this made kirean smile as he likes his people to be enthusiastic about things they like so he told her to do her own thing while he gave Gaia one more instruction "Gaia for every species we get merge they're culture with ours, this will allow us to create better unity as they still practice they're culture but with more additions while we can better understand them and continuously strengthen our culture but remember never merge the bad like killing,rape or sacrificing, for species who practices these cultures we will have to to eliminate these bad practices and assimilate what's left and not evil of the culture, and if we ever encounter ruins of civilization you are allowed to collect any genetic sample found and if you happen to find they're culture merge them with ours" said kirean as these policies will allow the species to have a strong sense of unity and belonging, even though we have inherited all species building styles and all they're knowledge but we haven't necessarily gotten they're culture like myths and legends, stories and famous characters the customs, social institutions, and achievements of a particular nation, people, or other social group.

"Yes forefather"said Gaia, seeing everything go well kirean tells Gaia to govern the ultimas for 10,000 years to get experience and evolve her governing skills by collecting data from ultimas as she governs them, leaving the basement kireans runs into the other 4 they were mainly here to get to know Gaia and help each other as no one has full control only kirean as Gaia only governs ppl makes laws and policies and keeps track of everything, Christian just focuses on the economy and nothing more, Adam is only military and Amanda focuses on all materials, even tho they will not fight for power.

Jared days since the tournament has been better than ever as his wife and kids were smiling from that days glory almost everyday he keeps hearing from his kids how the other kids idolize him and from his wife that the shops customers always asks about him he couldn't believe what a title from the forefather can bring but now all he has is extreme worship for forefather that he even made a little statue of forefather so he can pay respect to every morning and night his kids and wife also did it with him one time his neighbors saw him and his family paying respect to the statue and instantly started doing it this chain kept going until every Ultima had a small golden statue that they pay respect, even tho ultimas know the secrets of every race including gods and now they are 100s times more godly than they will every be this doesn't stop them from having extreme worship towards their forefather

Right now Jared was at work standing in a neat line of other soldiers with extreme discipline listening to Adam

"Today we will be mapping the underground and the oceans crust to make sure we do not miss any precious materials"

"Yes sir!" Everyone yells and flies to different directions

"Jared you stay behind" said Adam as Jared stops and stays

"Jared I've been observing you these months to make sure you are worthy of forefathers title and I think you are truly worthy that's why I want to promote you to second in command"said Adam

"Yes sir!" Said Jared extremely firm but on the inside he was giggling like a child as life was just too good after forefather granted him a title.
