michael was actually a tansing, the tansings were a powerful species who had acquired an high technological level, they already mastered interplanetary travel, teleportation but still did not know how to use glass hole technology (which could allow them to move from point A to point B in seconds over long distances)
it was also a peaceful race and the lifespan of its members was equal to or greater than 1000 years, their childhood therefore lasted 100 or 200 years, so in the tensing culture Michael at that time was still considered a child
Their grandfather, the one who was responsible for the imprisonment of their mother, had carried out tests on Michael and his brother, Robert, to see their affinity with the Oldium element which gave the tansings their strength and their intellect
Oldium was similar to impure mana, which is why the tansings could increase their ranks quickly after the advent of the apocalypse
Michael had a weak affinity with oldium, so he was abandoned, condemned to live on planet earth with his father's family
his brother robert who had a strong affinity was recruited by the tansings under his grandfather
but no one could have predicted that the weak and fragile Michael would become so powerful
moreover the tansing had a low birth rate, therefore, each member was important to them, the goal of the grandfather was to demean michael for a few hundred years and then to take him under his wing, so that he understands who was superior to whom
the memories about the tansings were erased from michael brain and he was then put into his father's family
adams had acquired all this information from robert, he now looked for michael to tell him this news
as for Michael, he was talking to Macarthur to try and convince him to take over the base, he was also trying to find out if Macarthur had what it took to be a good leader.
after explaining the different ranks that superhumans could reach to Macarthur, Michael asked him:
Macarthur, if you had to sacrifice all the civilians on this base to help a single silver rank soldier, would you do it?
Suppose you have a serum that boosts the metabolism of the person who takes it, this serum can cure all diseases but it is also very useful for power holders, would you use it on a civilian?
Suppose there is an herb that can increase mana affinity, would you use it on yourself or your best soldier?
And so on, Michael asked several questions to Macarthur who obviously understood what Michael wanted to do
after answering all the questions, he said:
Macarthur: Mr. Michael, I understand what you want to do but I will only accept to be the leader of this base if President Adams orders me to do so.
michael: don't worry, through your answers, I saw what kind of person you were, you understand that to win a war, you have to make sacrifices and you also understand that a good leader thinks of the others first then himself and finally you understand that if you can avoid fighting you must retreat rather than to sacrifice part of your forces for a secondary goal
I will talk to Adams this afternoon and he will probably agree with me
after his talks with macarthur, michael headed to adams office , when he saw michael , a big smile appeared on adams face
Adams: Michael finally you are here, you have no idea how much I was worried about you
Michael then began to tell his story to Adams, how he had teleported to another continent and how he had recruited powerful power holders
adams listened attentively, if the two continents could ally and fight together, it would reduce the pressure that everyone felt
Michael continued by telling Adam that he had simply disappointed him as a leader, that the fate of the entire planet rested on his shoulders and that Adam was too sensitive to be the leader of this base, or even of the continent of ajar
Adam also knew that Michael was going to lecture him, he had even prepared himself to be punished so when Michael told him that he was simply going to change his position, he was relieved.
working every day, day after day to improve a base of more than 10 million people was a titanic job, so rather than being angry, Adam was somehow relieved
he will now be able to train his power with the others, spend more time with his family and live a more peaceful life
Michael still placed Adams as head of foreign relations, because Adams had a natural talent as a politician, it was just not appropriate for him to be the head of the base
adams accepted and told michael what had happened with robert
the expression on michael face who always was calm and peaceful whatever happened changed , he was really interested in this story, elves who have a natural affinity with mana? A technology more advanced than that of ambrasia? A mother imprisoned?
He needed to talk to his brother as quickly as possible, so he asked Adams to tell him where the base of the golden warriors was and then he went there
he didn't have to be careful because he was after all at the gold rank plus if anything ever happened he still had one clone left
