Millennium Tension

Chapter 39: The Other Side Of The Universe

"Ana, Axel. How is the situation there?" Aizen asked after slaughtering the ninth monster with his beam rifle and placing a chunk of meteorids containing [Mystical Stones] into [Space Storage].

"Ana answered, safe and in control, I have slaughtered the seventh space monster." Ana answered with their system protocol.

"Axel answers, the situation is under control. I have eradicated the fifteenth space monster." Axel responds while repeatedly checking their situation, she is really overprotective when it comes to Aizen and Ana.

"This time I feel better controlling Mecha than before, how about you Ana?"

(AN: robot unit will be called Mecha from now on)

"Um. I can control it like my own body."

The three of them chatted lightly to slaughter all the unfortunate space monsters that appeared at the wrong time and put all the meteoroids containing [Mystical Stones] that they could find in that area to [Space Storage].

Comparison of the level of strength that is very much different makes the battle this time quite warm-up for Aizen and Ana who just rose to [Rank 3], while Axel used most of her time just to watch over the two of them rather than slaying the space monster.

"No more space monsters have been detected and there are no more energy fluctuations from the [Mystical Stone] in this area. All units let's return to [Axel Goddess]!" Aizen exclaimed before changing his Mecha mode to flight mode for high-level speed acceleration.

"Roger!" "Understood!" Ana and Axel followed Aizen from behind in flight mode and darted back to [Axel Goddess].

Each of the Mecha [Destruction Units] has different special abilities but despite their similar appearance, the Mecha has 3 main weapons that are placed between the back of the Mecha and its jet wings when not in use, and 4 modes that can be changed depending on the circumstances.

Three [Destruction Units] entered into [Axel Goddess] alternately using a different port than where they had taken off before.

"Brother Aizen, this time I feel amazing! I feel I can conquer the world!" Ana exclaims as she exits her cockpit and immediately approaches Aizen who has come out and is waiting for the two girls for a moment.

"Hehe... Conquering the world hmm..." Aizen just stroked Ana's hair that came at him.

"Fufu... Here we have Ana the conqueror." Axel came out of the cockpit while teasing Ana.

Ana smiles as Aizen strokes her hair gently as if being spoiled, but starts blushing to hear Axel's teasing.

"How was the warm-up this time?" Aizen stopped stroking his daughter's hair.

"I slaughtered nineteen space monsters, so praise me!" Ana asks for more praise and attention from Aizen.

"Well, my Ana is so amazing. In her first experience, she managed to kill nineteen space monsters by herself and get the title as the conqueror ~"

Aizen praises Ana in a teasing tone that makes her blush again but she is happy with the compliment.

"Ara... In that case, I who had slaughtered thirty space monsters wanted a gift." After seeing Ana's behavior towards Aizen, Axel was standing beside them having a brilliant idea for it.

"What gift is that?" Aizen felt the veiled intent coming from Axel through their connections.

"Fufu... That's a hug and a kiss. * Smooch *" Axel threw her body to Aizen and hugged him before kissing him briefly.

Aizen who was kissed suddenly did not dodge and only hugged Axel's body by placing his two arms around her waist.

"Wh... What." Ana looked as if she didn't believe it.

Axel saw Ana's silly face with a smile on her face, knew what Ana wanted to say. "Sister Ana, you have your prize, and so have I. Don't say it's unfair."

Hearing that Ana could only grumble and begin to plan again in the future to take advantage of the situation for more caresses and attention, she still really wants to be more pampered.

Aizen smiled wryly at this. "Well then, we will continue the journey back to the end of the universe. Let's change our costumes and do some experiments."

Ana and Axel exchanged glances and agreed with the proposal. The three of them hurried back to [Private Space] to do research in their special laboratory.

The three days they spent before were only limited to re-data of objects and things stored in every space that had [Space Law] in them, whereas they had not done any research on the objects and things.

Things and things neatly stored in [Space Storage], plants and other living resources in [Plant Space], Mecha and other robotic units in [Robot Space], and unique things in [Private Space]. All of them have been recorded and a lot of research has been done afterward.

The three of them spent the other three days without obstacles in [Axel Goddess] which drove at the speed of 750 Aecrerus, a unit of speed faster than the speed of light.

After three days that had passed so quickly, they had done the research and forgotten about the time limit and left [Axel Goddess] in autopilot mode, they detected a giant barrier from the distance sensor and put [Axel Goddess] out of the autopilot mode.

Aizen, Ana, and Axel immediately stopped their research and focused on the vast barrier before them.

"Brother Aizen, is this the end of the universe? What's behind it?"

Ana asked innocently while looking at the giant monitor screen in front of them which displayed transparent energy waves that formed an endless barrier.

"We did not know before examining it. It is only a theory and we do not know what lies beyond that barrier."

Aizen did not know what to say. On Earth had a theoretical notion that said the universe has limits if they go in the same direction, and that is called the end of the universe. Although humans cannot be certain of that.

"Are we going to send unmanned units there to confirm that?" Axel proposed an idea.

"That's a good idea. We don't know what lies behind the barrier, and many things can happen. We need to program the unmanned unit to record everything that it encounters with artificial intelligence, and an emergency program if the unit breaks off contact with [Axel Goddess] system to return immediately after 5 minutes has passed. "

Aizen immediately implements those ideas and is immediately assisted by Ana and Axel. They sent a mini surveillance unit to the endless barrier that was considered the end of the universe.

The intended end of the universe is not visible to the eye or ordinary sensors but can be known by the advanced energy sensors possessed by [Axel Goddess].

Initially what was seen after passing through the end of the universe was an endless universe that resembled the one they live in now, but the difference there had a thicker energy content than what was in their universe, and that was what they saw before the connection to the surveillance unit was cut off...

"Ah... The connection is lost." Ana murmured with disappointment.

"We'll wait another five minutes for the unit to return and report the results of its mission." Aizen answers casually because he had predicted that something like this might happen.

After five minutes had passed, the surveillance unit immediately returned to [Axel Goddess] to report the brief observations.

From the data seen from a comprehensive observation of the reconnaissance unit which did not go further than 10 kilometers from the barrier for 5 minutes, besides looking at the universe seen before, the unit accidentally recorded some creature from a distance that was flying in the wide sky that was seen faint because of the distance so far.

"What are those creatures? They open space monsters..." Axel seemed to be thinking along with Aizen who was just silent and thinking.

"Ah! This one looks like a human!" Ana called out to show a figure who was recorded fighting one of the creatures.

Aizen and Axel immediately saw the data Ana meant. There was a figure like a woman fighting a creature they did not know and still looked quite faint.

The technology they have is very sophisticated after being updated by Axel for more than a millennium, but they cannot reach that distance with ordinary surveillance units.

After processing all data from the first surveillance unit, they sent more other surveillance units to reconfirm the event and the unit was programmed with different commands for the wider zone.

The results they found were still the same, and after using a special surveillance unit with a more sophisticated device, they could clearly see the figure of a woman fighting a monster that they had not recognized before.
