Haroon

"Meet Gaia"

Harun, separated from the Rumps, tries to summon Pell in the right place. However, Bell's sudden communication made me have to go back to reality.

What's going on? '

When the ceiling of the capsule appeared, Harun, who was about to wake up, heard Azman's greeting.

- You're back, Master.

"Azman!"

- I was gonna call you. Then why are you here so early?

"Yes, because Bell asked me to come."

A few things happened.

"Is Belle out there?

- No, I was there because I had something urgent to take care of at the storm base.

"What do you know?"

Bell would tell you anyway, but I thought it would be better to know in advance.

- I think I have some news from the dead bunker and a Jericho.

"Jerico?"

I haven't heard from him in a while. Jerico would be aware of Glory Gaia's current situation. Otherwise, the situation was changing rapidly, so I was going to contact you, but you got here first.

- By the way, what happened in Beyond?

"Why?"

- A while ago, there was an enormous amount of energy gathered at the central base that was unknown. And that energy was absorbed through the Dell into the Master's body.

"Energy?"

The energy was similar to what the master uses, but it had different properties. I tried to analyze it, but I couldn't tell from the data I had.

Harun can guess the mysterious energy that Azman is talking about.

Blood Essence. You said the fairy tale rate was almost 100 percent, and you were able to absorb the blood essence in real life. '

"I have a hunch I can't explain it right now. It's all about dark matter and dark energy."

Maybe I do.

"Let me know when you find out."

- Yes, Master.

After a short talk about Blood Essence, Harun began to unravel other questions to Azman.

"Azman, can I ask you something?"

- Of course, go ahead.

"Azman, do you remember when you first met me?"

- Yes, I am.

I suddenly felt frustrated by Azman's notion in my head. I was glad to hear it, but I felt sad that I couldn't hear it with my ears.

"Azman, can't you talk to me in person instead of brainwaves?"

Unlike in the beginning, it felt trivial to have conversations with current Azman expressing various emotions.

"If the Master wants……."

"Oh! You have a beautiful voice."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Somehow, the shy voice of Azman was surprisingly clear and transparent enough for Harun to see his emotions clearly.

"If I'd known you had such a pretty voice, I would have spoken to you earlier."

"Hohoho."

The sound of a good laugh also showed that Azman was not a machine, but Harun also felt good.

"I have a question for you."

"What is it?"

"Why did you accept me as a master when you first met me? He wouldn't have accepted Humans as masters the first time they entered the storm base."

"Umm… umm…."

It was Azman who always gave me a snappy answer, but this time it was different.

"You didn't even know I was in possession of a super capsule at the time."

"Well…… In fact, through Bell's presence and Master's genetic scans, I learned that the Master was prepared by Mother Gaia."

Did he?

"But my genes contained such special information?"

"Yes, there were traces of Gaia. So programmatically, we created a subsystem to help the master, and we activated the base."

Harun nods, but there are still many questions left.

"How did Gaia prepare for this?"

I was curious about what purpose and how he was born. And I also felt doubtful that if I had been born, I could have taken care of it so that it would not grow so poorly.

"I don't think that's what I want to talk about on my own terms."

"You're still saying my readings are low?"

"No, but I think it's better to listen to it in person."

"What? So you can talk to Guia directly?"

Harun was genuinely surprised.

I can't believe I'm having this conversation with the transcendent!

How great is this?

"But Gaia wanted to talk to the master, so I was about to contact him."

"Excellent. Can you connect me now, then?"

"Yes, one moment. I'm going to link you directly with your mother."

Through conversations between the rare memories and the notions left by Balmon, he has now learned almost all the secrets related to his birth, but Gaia will still know other things that he never knew.

There were still a lot of things I wanted to know, including the information about my parents and the person who gave him love during the fetal life.

"But Gaia is now losing most of her abilities. '

Harun's mind immediately raises some questions at the same time, but before expressing them in a voice, he trembles with Azman's voice.

"My child."

"……!"

This voice is so familiar.

Even if it wasn't a memory regression, it was an intensely carved voice in his heart.

"Oh, really, this voice belongs to Gaia? '

I couldn't believe it.

"You've grown up beautifully."

Is he looking at himself?

"D-Doctor?"

A woman whose heart is full of thoughts.

One day, which made me refuse the affection of the wool I met as a child, I encountered again. I didn't believe it, but it definitely belonged to Dr. Seoulia, who made him warm and comfortable when he was a fetus.

"You remember the voice of my sub."

Or was he a sub of Gaia?

"Yes."

"I see you've had a memory regression."

"Doctor Lee Seol Ah's voice was like that of Mother to me."

"I see."

"Where is he now?"

"I chose extinction."

"Yes?"

Kuang!

My heart sank and I was heartbroken.

I can only remember it in my voice, but the sad news is how I feel.

"My subjects have participated in the New Human Project and done many things as I intended, but I have not lived long because of my weakened ability to be the base. Moreover, I was forced to choose extinction because the three organizations that recognized Irea's involvement with me insisted on informing the people involved in the project."

"……."

Harun tears his eyes out without knowing it.

Guy remained silent for a while, as if he had guessed his mind.

Harun was only able to calm his mind after a few moments.

"You didn't cause any disability, but you have a lot of thermogenomics, and you've grown up to be a wonderful child who has attracted the mind of my subjects."

I couldn't say anything. The content was not a problem, but his voice was still shaking.

Gaia explained to Harun the details of the New Human project. Much of it was not much different from what was known through various bonds and Azman alone.

"Although I and Irea were looking forward to activating the cellular response and propagating the children with the dominant genome so that we could easily generate a third strand in many children's bodies, we never expected you to be the first and highest level of arousal. I knew Dr. Cheongil had a better eye than we did."

"Oh, you know my father?"

Bell, an excellent artificial intelligence computer, was believed to have some connection between the two just by sending it to Dr. Cheongil.

"I know. He was a purer and better scientist than anyone. Vera, who was in charge of connecting with Beyond's world, first noticed his excellence and passion. We handed him the knowledge and skills of the capsule, and connected him with the world's dominant rocks. He accomplished his mission brilliantly after a genius idea and diligence. He's been asking for an unexpected favor, which is to hand out a super capsule to you."

"Ah!"

"Thank you, Father! '

Whatever the reason was, I was now confident because I received a super capsule. If they hadn't received the super capsule, they wouldn't have evolved like this.

"Beyond special grade, the holders of the super capsule had to be supervised by Glory Gaia and Human Guard. Of course, even though vera made us aware of the grassroots, we were unable to intervene in their activities after losing almost all of our abilities."

Harun's back grows cold and unpleasant with the fact that many people have been keeping an eye on him. You really were a test subject.

"The owners of the Super Capsules were diverse, but they grew rapidly due to their capsule function. But something amazing happened. The identity of the AI Cupputer embedded in the capsule was not only rapidly awakened, but also created a subset that no one had ever seen before. The performance of the AI computer embedded in the super capsule was not enough to create a subject, no matter how good. And what's even more amazing is that I erased my engraving."

Did he? Then Bell may have been turned into a much higher specification by his stepfather's intervention, not by the thistles born of Gaia.

"Glory Gaia and Human Guard thought you died in the fire when you extracted the resident chips and disappeared from the Union, but Vera was still detecting you in Beyond. That's why the three of us were watching you. I was amazed that I could give my children absolute faith and paralyze their eunuchs, but I couldn't believe the growth that didn't match their abilities at all."

Harun was constantly troubled that he was being watched, but he was delighted that he was lacking in every way to receive Gaia's recognition.

"In our estimation, it took 10 years here, 30 years for Beyond to come up with a genetically modified version optimized for the Earth's environment, but your existence broke that expectation. GG and HG, as well as GPC, the founders of the New Human Project. Even we, who are called transcendents, had no idea. Irea and I and Vera used all of our remaining abilities to find the cause of your Awakening so quickly, but we found absolutely nothing. Do you know anything about that?"

It was a matter that Harun himself did not know.

Harun shakes his head.

"Supercapsules are all about improving fairy tale rates, increasing game time continuity, and ensuring maximum gamer convenience with additional features, but capsules can't be the cause. Your physical intelligence was at the lowest level of any other artificial insemination or gamer, and your emotional breadth was so narrow that it interfered with your normal relationships. But first I woke up, and now I've grown to a normal human level with stirrings. No matter how much I infer, I can't figure out why. I asked you to meet me in person like this."

Harun bursts into flames.

'I was an example of an incapable man, and I was attracted to this kind of attention.'

In fact, I know that I am more incapable than anyone else, but it is not very pleasant to hear it directly.

'But thanks to me.'

To him, it was Guia who created Bell, Del, Ari, and Azman like his family.

'I don't really understand it yet, but you've done me a lot of favors because you've allowed me to easily create a third strand.'

"We've been observing humans for a long time, but our abilities don't tell us everything about them."

'People like you may not always know about humans.'

Although they have a self, there are some things that cannot be known without having a human body. We don't know the details, but the human emotional system and the area of the soul expressed by the interactions of hormones released by many causes may not be solved forever by science.

Harun decides to ask you other questions.

"Is Beyond a real world?"

"Of course. It's a dimension that has a lot to do with Earth."

"Fate?"

"Indeed. The most advanced civilization on Earth, the aurish, needed a diverse life experience to evolve."

I've heard about Auristine before from Azman.

Though that number was only a few hundred years old, it was a human being with 3,000 years of life and unimaginable mental abilities through Awakening, who led ordinary people through many tens of millions of years of peace and prosperity.

"For the Aussies, the Earth was not a stage for experiencing the various lives needed to evolve. So they traveled through many dimensions in their psyche, and they found Beyond, the most environmentally similar to Earth. It was a place where other human species lived intensely, fighting monsters and beasts, and they were able to experience a different life."

What was essential in the Awakening of the Aussies was to experience different lives and overcome their limitations.

"Because it was only the mind that was able to move to another dimension of Beyond's world, they were able to create a body that could exist there, and they devised a special device for it. That's the capsule you use."

I didn't know the Aussies invented the capsule so long ago. The Aussies used to play with the capsules like the dragons Beyond knew to be legends.

As Azman explained earlier, the human genome contains a variety of knowledge created by the human species, and a third strand of DNA created in particular cases has revealed itself to the world as a new invention.

'So the magic of the third strand of DNA must have worked even if my father had built a super capsule.'

That guess will be correct. The three transcendents of such a father's potential would have been able to recognize it early and support it through three forces.

"The Aussies wanted to experience life through a capsule that moved to a world called Beyond, created a new body and plunged into it. But something unexpected happened. Despite being the flesh embodied by the power of the capsule, they were able to have tremendous power for a short period of time, and it was then that the unfaithful Beyonds worshipped them as gods."

"So they're like Balmons?"

"Yes. But Balmon was a megalose, not an aurist. The Megalos weren't giants, they were short-lived, but they had abilities similar to those of the Aurish in many ways. They also developed their bodies and minds through a variety of lives."

I didn't have to ask for the rest of Balmon. I was determined to, but I had a conversation with him myself.

"But Balmon said he went there and settled down with his followers. What happened to that?"

"From what I understand, some of the Megalos have been able to send their minds to another realm through meditation, not capsules.

The spirit occupied the body of the person who died in the same way as possession, and the body was able to live in this world. "

This is amazing.

How powerful is the mind to travel between worlds with the mind and live there through possession?

"Can I take the others?"

"That's enough. Their psychic abilities were high enough for us to be afraid of."

'The Auristians and the Megalos are humans with abilities that are unimaginable to human beings today.'

"Then you could have come back."

"Of course you can. But the journey of the mind has one drawback. If the mind is hit or the body underlying it collapses, it leads to death."

Anyway, now we know how Balmon and the ancestors of the mountain tribes crossed over and settled down.

Now there is a question that may be the last. So Harun speaks carefully.

"But Gaia, do you know anything about my parents?"

It's a question I've been asking since I was very young.

The question is, who are my parents? All the lenses in the world have been thinking about their lives.

"I don't know about that. The matter with the parents was abandoned immediately after the project was implemented, and the person in charge was killed in a series of accidents."

"I see."

Harun was sad that he could no longer find his parents forever, but on the one hand, he was cool.

It's convenient to give up.

Harun asked about Dr. Cheongil, his stepwife, and asked her usual questions, and Gaia told him everything she knew with all her heart.

"Are you sure the barrier that holds Union is destined to disappear soon?"

"Yes. If we hadn't lost our power, we could have held out forever, but unfortunately, given the current situation, the barrier would have collapsed in at least 25 years." "

It was a problem.

In the apocalypse, the population of 10 billion people had fallen to tens of millions, and the barrier had resulted in more than 200 million people. In this way, Inner will again face a situation of despair, except for those who have adapted to the environment to some degree.

"If GG and HG hadn't gone behind the scenes, at least 2,000 years later, a new human being could have emerged that would have adapted to the new environment and created a new civilization. That's why the three of us took a long nap and intervened in the New Human Project to open up the connection to Beyond."

Harun smiled deeply at Gaia's regrets.

With so much intelligence and so much power that it is called transcendent, these three beings, Gaia and others, have become like this.

Conversely, interpretation may prove that the ability of GG and HG is just as great.

"But the GPC believes there is a solution in Beyond's world that can save the planet. Is that true?"

Unlike GG and HG, GPC was consistently looking for a climate control wizard. I heard that once you find it, you'll be able to undo it with a spell and have the equipment and manpower to implement it.

"Beyond is a world where me and Irea can't get involved at all, and Vera who opens the gate doesn't know much about it either. It's just that Beyond is a world that has a history comparable to Earth's, and it's very likely that there is such a solution because various civilizations flourished and collapsed, just like Earth did."

If it wasn't possible, the GPC wouldn't have brought in so many people.

'If you really have such a grimoire, I hope you find it.'

It would be best if the climate control enchantment allowed the Inners to live outside the barrier with peace of mind. If so, the outsiders will no longer have to continue their hard lives.

"So Humans have 25 years to find the grimoire in real time, 75 years to Beyond time. '

I thought I'd save my strength in finding the grimoire if I could do Harun.

Although in his case, the DNA of the triple helix structure gave him the ability to survive beyond the barrier, it was best for many others.

After talking so much, the moment of separation came.

"Even though it has become difficult for me and Irea to have this conversation, we have created a new human being like you, so we can take a deep sleep in peace. Once again, you are magnificent."

"Thank you."

"Oh! I have more to tell you. I heard from Azman that you and Azman are in love."

"Yes, that's right."

"Yes, you can do that. But there's something you need to know."

"What is it?"

"Unfortunately, the subject has no reproductive capacity."

"Yes?"

Harun's eyes widen.

"Then?"

"Yes. You can't get pregnant. The substance is human, but it's inherently not human, so it's not reproducible."

Harun was stunned for a moment.

No being is born of its own free will. However, Harun, who grew up as a thousand orphans, was lonely and struggling, wanted a child despite his age. I wanted to quickly make a home.

"Awakenings have a duty to pass on to generations their abilities through Awakening. You have to pass it on to your descendants through as many spouses as possible."

"……."

Harun recalls the words of the wise man with a dejected face.

'Is that why he wrote the phrase horse?'

Harun doesn't hate many women because he is a man. Isn't Harem a longtime man's dream? Of course, there are few women who have actually done the opposite in Rome.

'The horse means to sow as much of my seed as possible.'

I understood the words of the wise man or Gaia, but I had no intention of doing so now. Only I was worried how upset Ari would be.

Did he even notice what Harun was thinking?

"Ari already knows. Don't refuse to let other women in. The Awakening effect will naturally bring out the charm in men. In the future, a lot of women will feel intense love for your pheromones."

I felt a strange emotion in Guia's voice saying that.

Is that why he did it? Until I became an adult, I had never received a woman named Gonghaming. After I started playing the game, I was intimate with a lot of women, such as the Year Sisters, from the beginning.

"What about Belle?"

Harun is suddenly worried about Bell.

"Bell's differentiation is based on your stem cells, so there's no reproductive problems."

Thank goodness.

It's hard to imagine Belle marrying someone now, but I have to live happily ever after looking for a partner.

"Oops!"

In the middle of a loving conversation, Gaia suddenly bursts into security.

"I still have a lot to tell you...."

Guia's voice is trembling with sadness.

"I don't have the energy to link anymore."

It's hard to talk for a while like this. Guia's condition was much worse than I expected.

"Then...?"

I couldn't utter the word death or extinction out of my mouth.

After all, it made it easy for him to evolve, and only gave him Bell, Ari, and Az.

"Not until extinction. It has self-healing capabilities. However, there are so many damaged areas that it will take a very long time to re-engage. Though I must sleep deeply, I am relieved to have Azman and Ari and Bell by your side. Live your life as you always have. I firmly believe that your remaining Awakening could be the ancestor of a new humanity to overcome the contaminated environment."

"If that's possible, I'll do it."

'Nice to meet you. Mom in my heart.'

Harun felt a bit strange because his voice and Guia's existence did not match, but he remembered him and wished him well.
