"Are you sure James? Do you want me to marry Namira?" I glanced at Namira who had been looking down in shame.
"Do you have an explanation why I should marry her?" I asked again for confirmation.
"It's because there's no one better than you and in this age of power, I can't trust any man out there who could sincerely protect Miss Ziudith if one of them knew about the Autarky Sphere." James explained as he wiped his face that was wet from the spout of tea.
"Then what's your reason for entrusting Namira to me?" I asked, again unable to accept this old man's decision.
"Actually..." James looked hesitant and he looked towards Namira, Namira nodded as if giving permission.
"Actually, the appearance of the Autarky Sphere is related to the phenomena on earth 6 years ago."
"The Autarky Sphere was originally a laboratory site for researching space objects. Ziudith Technology under the auspices of Ziudith Interprise, in 2024 traveled to space to research the content of meteorites. Given that natural resources on earth are in a state of crisis, we plan to find resources in space that can be brought to earth. Mrs. Grace Ziudith. mother of Miss Namira Ziudith and a scientist, participated in the space trip."
"From that trip, they discovered the fact that Black holes are proven to be connected to White holes. when entering a Black hole not far from the solar system, the Ziudith Tech Astronauts teleported and exited through a White hole at the center of the Milkyway Galaxy."
"There we found a mysterious object in the shape of a "Large White Cube" with a very strong energy field. then, when the Astronauts approached the huge mysterious object, it 'acted' like it wanted to be taken away."
'Acting up? Does it have a consciousness?' I spontaneously interjected in my mind when I heard that.
"The Great White Cube reacted when Mistress Grace looked at it through the spacecraft's diamond glass. the cube slowly approached and shrank and penetrated the spacecraft and arrived in front of Mistress Grace. amidst the confusion of the Astronauts, the White Cube shone brightly and instantly vanished without a trace,"
"After the incident, the Astronauts decided to return home. but in the center of the Milkyway galaxy there was no Black hole found there and they were stranded for some time. At the same time Mrs. Grace suddenly became mysteriously pregnant and gave birth to Miss Namira Ziudith on the spaceship. Unfortunately, Mrs. Grace's life was not helped due to the lack of supporting facilities when giving birth to Miss Ziudith,"
"Miss Ziudith grew up on a spaceship. while on board, the entire life of the Astronaut Crew was helped by the presence of Miss Ziudith, who could magically create anything including food needs for the Astronauts and herself including milk and nutritious food for babies.
The astronauts were amazed, taught Miss Ziudith various knowledge on the spaceship and began to be wise in using her powers,"
"Long story short, Miss Ziudith had an epiphany through her dream and told the Crew that the Core of the Milkyway Galaxy is connected to the solar system,"
"Finally the Astronaut Crew listened and began to enter into the towering Light as far as the eye could see which was at the Core of the Milkway. And miraculously, the Ziudith Tech spaceship appeared above the sky of the middle east region, in the year 2044 due to the effect of time dilation,"
"Still on the same day after the return of the Astronauts. At night, Miss Ziudith was taken to the laboratory before becoming this Autarky Sphere for a health check.
Suddenly the earth was hit by a high-speed bright blue meteor. Officials around the world were resigned and did nothing, because there was nothing that could be done,"
"Once the impact between the bright blue meteor and the earth occurred, strangely but noticeably, nothing happened. whether it was the sound of a boom, shock waves or weather anomalies, there was really no impact whatsoever."
"Except for Miss Ziudith, the impact of the meteor made the power in her body react to blow up the entire laboratory. But instead of the massive destruction caused, there was a change in the environmental atmosphere of the laboratory room. and since then, the 'Autarky Sphere' has continued to develop and expand, with or without Miss Ziudith's contribution. But over the past 6 years, the earth has also changed along with the development of the Autarky Sphere."
After James explained that, I understood Namira Ziudith's situation. but I still didn't understand why Namira's face was so familiar to me, maybe it was just my feelings.
"I now know the reason why you want me to take care of her, but tell me what is the reason I should marry her?" this time I wanted to make sure if this marriage had a more specific purpose or just marrying her.
"The reason...because, you and Miss Ziudith have a true energy that no one else has. most people including me are only 'borrowers' of the energy of heaven and earth and not as 'owners' of energy." James answer, again explained things that I thought were less relevant to marriage.
"Even though we both have something in common as 'energy owners', it can't be a reason for us to get married, can it?" I smiled wryly with disapproval for no apparent reason.
"Nine, actually...biologically stated that, 'The energy owners' and 'borrowers' cannot unite to produce offspring. because the scope doesn't seem to be favorable." Namira said it nervously, her face reddening as well.
'What the hell are these two people saying? It's even more irrelevant regarding marriage'.
Rather than bothering to digest, I would rather ask Luna. I then activated the 'Tesseract' and opened the chat in Mind Transmission.
"Luna, can you explain to me about the problem of 'energy owners and borrowers' not being able to produce offspring?"
[Understood, Master.]
[In theory, every energy has a core. including you, Subliminal Void-Pure Energy has a Core called 'The Subliminal Origin' and biologically speaking, a Core and another Core, can only merge if they are compatible with each other.]
[In Ziudith's case, the 'White Cube' that the astronauts found back then, is now inside her body. and it is the Core of the Autarky Sphere. If we take reference from the Subliminal Verse, the White Cube Core can only be mated with the "Black Cube" Core.
Whereas the polluted energy on earth comes from 'Mana' and the core is not yet known where it is and who owns it. and the biggest possibility is that there will only be Rejection].
"So that's it, I understand a bit. but why me? Is The Subliminal Origin compatible with the White Cube?"
[In terms of the energy Chain, The Subliminal Origin is the origin of all Energy Cores. so it is compatible with any Core, but it depends on whether or not the core of the other energy is strong enough to merge with The Subliminal Origin.
Otherwise, the Energy Core will be destroyed and cause death without reincarnation even if the owner is an immortal.]
"Then is the White Cube strong enough for that?"
[No. Unless the White Cube and Black Cube are connected to each other, they can process the fusion.]
"Okay, I understand-'not really understand' there's one more thing I want to ask, is that thing on the table related to the Black Cube?"
[Yes, Master. But it's just a fragment of the core of the Black Cube. It's likely that the previous owner died and the core fragment was scattered around the earth.]
"Then why would they hand over such an important object to me?"
[It's likely that they thought it was the Black Cube's Core and they also thought that the Core fragment was only suitable for you, due to The Subliminal Origin's open-ended influence.]
"What is the function of this Black Cube Core fragment and what should I do with it?"
[The function of the Black Cube's energy is: obliterate, nullify, eliminate anything and move anything to where the user wants, as long as the 'Magic Point' is sufficient.]
[I advise you to secure the energy core before it falls into the wrong hands to be used as a 'borrowed power source' and misused.]
"Alright thanks for the explanation Luna, I'm really helped."
[My pleasure, Master. I will always help you whenever and wherever you need it~]
"Alright...alright, I will trouble you a lot in the future."
[No problem, Master.]
After being enlightened by Luna, I released the Tesseract & Mind Transmission and began to return to reality.
Confused in deciding about the marriage, I became a little awkward and didn't know what to say. until I finally remembered the dinner appointment with Susan and Novia, so I decided to end this meeting immediately and return as soon as possible.
"Alright I've understood the whole situation, so give me some time to consider the matter of marriage with Miss Namira Ziudith."
The smiles on James and Namira's faces began to blossom and looked at each other. while the two bodyguards stood behind the cloth sofa that James had sat on for a moment after being hit by my burst of tea.
"Well, thank you Sir. Nine! I hope you agree to the proposal." James said excitedly. while Namira just sat blushing without being able to say anything.
"Alright, I'll accept and bring this 'black thing', I still have to take care of something. So...this is where we meet." I stood up followed by James and Namira who also stood up.
When I wanted to shake hands to say goodbye, James stopped me and said.
"Wait, there's something I want to show you." James waved at Moji and Loji. Then he looked at Namira and said.
"Miss, please..." Namira nodded seriously and approached Loji.
Loji unwrapped the bloodied cloth on her shattered hand and saw only bone in her palm.
In secret, Moji transferred the blood and flesh he had sucked in at the fast food restaurant to Namira.
Namira began to concentrate Energy on Loji's palm...and magically invisible particles and molecules emerged from the void and formed a whole. slowly the flesh and blood began to revitalize Loji's palm until it was fully formed.
Loji's palm, which had returned to its original state, was still pale and not yet filled with blood.
This beautiful young lady, refocused her energy, and this time repaired the veins and nerve tissue in Loji's newly grown palm.
After a while, her fingers began to move until they reached the stage of clenching a fist. Seeing that his palm was functioning properly, Namira said to Loji.
"How is it? Do you feel anything wrong, like pain or tingling?" The happy grin on Loji's face began to show, and she said.
"No, not at all young lady! Thank you so much for your generosity in regrowing my arm!" Loji bowed in joy. Although he had originally thought that he would be deformed, but he had always thought positively and had faith in his young lady's ability. and now it proved to be true.
"Young lady, Ziudith is indeed amazing. once again, thank you lady! I, Loji. am ready to be your cow and horse!"
"Alright, that's enough. You're overreacting. This is nothing compared to the entire Autarky Sphere. So it's only natural that I can heal your palm." Namira said sternly and dismissively.
'Incredible, even young Miss Ziudith thinks this is trivial! I don't know if young Miss Ziudith can defeat that bast*rd!' Loji grumbled and occasionally glanced sharply at the young man in front of him.
Wanting to respond to those glances, I voluntarily praised and said.
"That's amazing Namira! I wonder if you can bring the dead back to life?" A small grin appeared on my face as I said it, and glanced at Loji.
I knew that Namira would not be able to bring the dead back to life, because she did not have the ability to return the soul to the body of someone who had died.
The souls of the dead were not in the power of the energies, not even the birthplace of the energy itself.
In the Subliminal Verse, "The Blue Aria" gives birth to the Core of energy, and its core form is called Entity. the type of energy is called Essence.
As for the Soul, it only grew from the "Tree of Life" and the fallen leaves fell into the "Spirit Lake Pool" for the selection process between Reincarnation or Torture.
"You...what do you mean? Are you mocking my young lady?" Loji clenched his teeth and said angrily.
"Heh, I'm just asking, is that wrong?"
I made a mocking face at Loji.
"Y-you..." "Enough! shut up Loji."
Namira tried to intervene and because she felt a little offended, she continued.
"Sorry Nine, I don't think my powers can be used to that extent, I don't know if you yourself can bring the dead back to life?" Namira turned the question around and her face took on a curious look.
"Of course, because I know the secrets of the soul of every creature and the process of life circulation. so I know how to restore the soul of every dead creature. but terms and conditions apply."
"Terms and conditions? That means there is still a possibility of failure?" Namira asked a little disappointed.
"Yes, I know what you're thinking, but still nothing is impossible in this world." I waved my hand dismissively at the matter of life and death.
'A mere third-level civilization, how hard would it be to pull her soul and body here? Unless her late mother became an immortal then it's quite difficult to do.'
"Really then-" before Namira could finish her sentence, I interrupted her.
"That's enough. We'll discuss it at the next meeting. I still have some business to attend to." I held up my palm as a stop sign, while Namira still wanted to speak.
"O-okay..." Namira looked disappointed for a moment and immediately put on a serious face again and looked at James.
James seemed to understand and he sighed, he then whispered to Moji and took a farewell gesture.
"Alright, see you soon!" I said to them.
"Bye Nine!" Namira smiled falsely.
"Be careful on the road, sir!" James ducked his head and led the way.
"Yes."
I exited through the elevator inside the laboratory with Moji as the access guide. Moji accessed the elevator with his fingerprint. Inside the elevator, Moji said.
"Master, Nine. matters of life and death are not to be taken lightly. And there are so many unpredictable forces out there, so be careful."
"Thanks for the reminder, but I know more than you do." I said indifferently.
It only took a few seconds for the elevator doors to open. And when I got out of the elevator, I was already on the other side of the basement without the need to enter the Bunker.
'Ridiculous, then why when I first came I was led into the bunker and not this way? Humans are indeed hard to understand'.
"Mr. Nine, be careful on the way. thank you for your help!" the elevator doors began to cover Moji's figure, to which I responded indifferently.
"No problem, see you!"
After telling Moji, I got into the car, and drove the Ferrari at maximum speed in order to catch the time for dinner.
I stopped by the "Avenue" Mall in the west of Tienji city and bought something to give to Novia as a souvenir. After buying some souvenirs, I continued my journey.
This time there were no obstacles on the road, so I was able to quickly reach the east side of Tienji City Center, Apartment Boulevard.
