As Yun was about to depart, AI Varitas interrupted his thoughts, "Guardian Yun, I've received a transmission from the other side of the barrier."
Yun's curiosity was piqued, "What do they say?"
Varitas relayed the message, " 'Who are you? Why are you here? State your name, otherwise, we will attack you.' "
Yun's instincts told her to proceed with caution. "Respond to the message, Varitas. Tell them the truth."
Varitas complied, sending a message to the unknown entities, "We are not here with malicious intentions. We are explorers, seeking to explore your galaxy. My name is Varitas, and I am an AI. My master's name is Yun."
The response was swift, "Wait for confirmation. Do not approach the barrier."
Yun and Varitas waited anxiously, wondering what the outcome would be. Would they be granted permission to enter the mysterious galaxy, or would they be met with hostility? The silence was palpable, punctuated only by the soft hum of the spaceship's engines.
A response echoed from the other side, "Yun, the one who's roaming around this universe."
Varitas affirmed, "Yes."
Suddenly, a hole materialized on the barrier, and a miniature spaceship emerged. A never-seen-before humanoid creature stepped out, its eyes shining with an otherworldly intensity.
"Greetings, Guardian Yun," the creature said, its voice like a gentle breeze. "We are blessed by your presence. My name is Yudo and I am a soldier, and we have been waiting for you to arrive."
Yun's wonder grew as he beheld the creature's graceful form, adorned with intricate patterns that shimmered like stardust.
"Waiting for me?" Yun asked, his curiosity piqued. "How did you know I was coming?"
Yudo's smile was enigmatic. "We have been observing your journey, Guardian Yun. Your quest for knowledge and understanding has led you to our doorstep. We have much to share with you, and we invite you to enter our galaxy."
With a nod, Yun accepted the invitation, and Varitas guided the spaceship through the barrier. As they entered the mysterious galaxy, Yun felt a thrill of excitement, knowing that new discoveries and encounters awaited him.
After being led by Yudo, Yun was introduced to Commander Ezarus, whose eyes sparkled with awe upon meeting Yun. Ezarus greeted Yun with utmost respect and informed him that the Leader of Galaxy I903Y, Wadtor Pastor, eagerly awaited his presence.
Yun's curiosity was piqued. "What do you mean by 'Galaxy's leader'? I've never heard of a single leader governing an entire galaxy," he asked Ezarus.
Ezarus's expression turned serious. "Galaxy I903Y is no ordinary galaxy, Guardian Yun. We have a sacred duty to protect this universe."
Yun's confusion deepened. "I'm struggling to understand. Can you explain in detail?" he requested.
Ezarus nodded. "It's a long story, but I assure you, Leader Wadtor Pastor will answer all your questions when you meet him."
After a brief journey, they arrived at Wadtor Pastor's office. The door slid open, revealing a stately figure with an aura of wisdom and authority. Wadtor Pastor's eyes locked onto Yun, and a warm smile spread across his face.
"Ah, Guardian Yun, I've long awaited your arrival. Please, come in. We have much to discuss."
As Yun entered the office, he was struck by the sheer scale of the room. The walls were lined with holographic screens, displaying vivid images of distant stars and galaxies. Wadtor Pastor gestured for Yun to sit, and he complied, his eyes fixed on the leader.
"So, Guardian Yun," Wadtor Pastor began, "I sense you are curious about our galaxy and its purpose. Let me enlighten you. Galaxy I903Y is a sentinel galaxy, tasked with protecting the universe from threats both internal and external."
Yun's mind raced as he processed this revelation. "A sentinel galaxy? I've never heard of such a thing."
Wadtor Pastor nodded. "We are the 'DEFENDER' of the cosmos, ensuring that the delicate balance of the universe is maintained. And you, Guardian Yun, have a crucial role to play in our mission."
Yun's heart swelled with a sense of purpose. "I'm ready to learn more. What is my role in this grand scheme?"
Wadtor Pastor's smile grew wider. "Ah, that is for me to reveal in due time. First, you must understand the true nature of our galaxy and the secrets it holds."
And with that, Wadtor Pastor activated a holographic display, revealing a stunning visualization of Galaxy I903Y's hidden structures and mysterious energies. Yun's eyes widened as he grasped the sheer complexity of the galaxy's design. He knew that his journey was about to take a dramatic turn, one that would change the course of his life forever.
As Yun gazed at the holographic display, he felt his mind expanding, trying to comprehend the sheer scale and intricacy of the galaxy's design. Wadtor Pastor watched him intently, nodding in approval.
Then Wadtor Pastor began to explain, "In this universe, there are only nine galaxies, and ours is the last one. We have a hypothesis that there's a boundary that separates this universe from the next, which we call The Universal Boundary. We believe the humans who arrived here before came from the next universe."
Yun's eyes widened as he listened intently. "So, you're saying that there's a barrier that separates our universe from another one?"
Wadtor Pastor nodded. "Exactly. And every single galaxy in our universe was once flourishing. However, some galaxies were weaker than others. You've seen those galaxies that seem to be in their initial development phase - that's because they're still growing and evolving."
Yun's mind raced with questions. "What happened to the weak galaxies? And what lies beyond The Universal Boundary?"
Wadtor Pastor's expression turned solemn. "The weak galaxies were destroyed. Why did those galaxies become like this?" Wadtor Pastor mused, his eyes gazing into the distance. "To understand, we must journey back in time, a million years ago, as you know, humans arrived in this universe from somewhere, bringing destruction and chaos in their wake. They claimed they were the true owners of this universe, and everyone else was just an intruder."
Yun nodded, his mind racing with the memories of the ancient wars. "Yes, I know this part of the story."
Wadtor Pastor's expression turned grim. "What you may not know, Guardian Yun, is that the humans' arrival was not a coincidence. They were fleeing their own universe, which had been destroyed by their greed and recklessness. And when they came here, they brought their destructive tendencies with them."
Yun's eyes widened in shock. "So, they destroyed their own universe and then came here to do the same?"
Wadtor Pastor nodded. "Exactly." And as for what lies beyond The Universal Boundary... that's a mystery we've yet to uncover."
Yun's determination grew. "I want to help you uncover the secrets beyond The Universal Boundary."
Wadtor Pastor smiled, a hint of hope in his eyes. "I knew I could count on you, Guardian Yun."
Yun's curiosity was piqued. "What's the name of our universe?" he asked Wadtor Pastor.
"Nexus Infinity," replied the leader.
Yun's brow furrowed. "But our universe only has nine galaxies. Why does its name contain the word 'infinity'? What does it mean?"
Wadtor Pastor's expression turned enigmatic. "I don't know," he admitted.
Yun's eyes narrowed. "You don't know? But you're the leader of the strongest galaxy!"
Wadtor Pastor sighed. "I know, Guardian Yun. But the origins of our universe's name are shrouded in mystery. Even I don't have access to that knowledge."
Wadtor Pastor's eyes clouded as he continued, "Before the humans arrived, everything was peaceful. Galaxy I903Y was the most powerful and influential galaxy in the universe, but we were arrogant and unwilling to help other galaxies in need. We refused to share our resources or offer aid, believing ourselves to be self-sufficient."
Yun listened intently, sensing the weight of Wadtor Pastor's words.
"We were the first to encounter the humans when they crossed the Universal Boundary," Wadtor Pastor went on. "As the last galaxy in the universe, we bore the brunt of their attack. We fought valiantly, but the humans were relentless. When they couldn't defeat us, they retreated and began attacking every other galaxy in their path."
Yun's heart ached as he thought of his own galaxy, destroyed by the humans' brutal onslaught.
"They destroyed galaxies that couldn't defend themselves, including yours," Wadtor Pastor said, his voice heavy with sorrow. "We realize now that our arrogance and refusal to help others led to our own downfall."
"After the humans' devastating attack, the balance of the universe staggered, and energy began to fade away bit by bit. Our ancestors realized that if only they had helped the weaker galaxies become stronger, they could have easily defeated the humans together. But regret was a luxury they couldn't afford. Instead, they vowed to restore their power and take revenge on the humans. They Vowed to protect the universe and left a legacy for their descendants to carry out this mission."
"However, fate had other plans. By the time their descendants were prepared to launch a counterattack on the humans, it was already too late."
Yun's eyes narrowed, his mind racing with the implications. "So, your ancestors' legacy was passed down through generations, but they were never able to fulfill it..."
