Millennium Tension

Chapter 7: Her Madness

Aizen woke up feeling soft objects rubbing his cheeks and moist pecks on his other cheeks.

"Good morning, daddy!" Ana's carefree face welcomed his day.

"Hm... Good morning. It's morning? How do we know it's morning?" Aizen who had woken up saw Ana who was still sitting on his lap and leaned on his arm which was holding her waist.

"Daddy, you talking too much." Ana covered his mouth with her palm as if to lock his mouth from the morning chirp.

But what Aizen said had a point. [Axel Goddess] is currently still orbiting ten thousand kilometers from Earth which means they are still in outer space. How do you know when it's morning or night?

After holding Aizen's mouth for a while. Ana was satisfied and took off her hand. She currently is quite naughty.

"Ana, you look calmer than I thought."

"Hehe, guess what."

"Mistress Ana, I have successfully completed all of the lists of tasks that you have prepared." Aizen who heard this frowned. As far as he knew, Axel never called Ana with the addition of Mistress to her name, but before he wanted to ask, Ana cut him off and moved from his lap.

"What did you say Axel, maybe right now Sister Axel is more appropriate hehe..." Ana hugged Axel who was still sitting beside him and kissed her cheek.

"Yes, Sister Ana. Please take care of me from now on."

Aizen is confused about what happened. They seem to know each other and look very friendly.

'They seemed to know what was happening. Isn't Ana...'

"Ai, it seems you are confused about what happened." Axel cut the thought in his mind.

"You're right, I'm very confused now. Will you give me some enlightenment?"

"Wow! Sister Axel! You've called daddy like a lover already! Daddy is not fair!" Ana pouted and chirped over this favoritism.

"Hmn. You can also call me whatever you want, just remember to use an appropriate name." Aizen nodded but still looked at Axel hoping for enlightenment.

"Yay! Daddy is the best!" Ana hugged him again and kissed him on the cheek.

"I'm sorry Ai. The [Axel Goddess] main server that you have accessed previously is not complete. Even though you have explored all the information there, but there are some data that I intentionally locked."

Axel paused before continuing her explanation.

"But that is all for your good. Your brain could not yet process all [Axel Goddess] data. Maybe now it will be fine. Hm, done. Now you can access everything. But if your brain hurts, immediately cut off your connection from the System!"

Axel knows that Aizen is not too fond of sudden problems, therefore he makes many plans and forecasts far ahead to prevent himself in a position of loss and endanger the people he loves.

Since they will spend time together in eternity, keeping secrets is the wrong choice especially for information as large and important as this.

Aizen just nodded and closed his eyes to access [Axel Goddess]. Lots of information flowing directly into his brain, but things that Axel worried did not happen.

So many truly amazing things have happened. The data he had previously processed was like the tip of an iceberg. After a while, Aizen opened his eyes and looked at Ana with a complicated gaze.

"So daddy, after you know everything, can you still keep your promise and still love me?" Feeling Aizen has returned from his exploration in [Axel Goddess] System, Ana looked into his eyes with a gaze that seemed to look deep down at his soul, looking a bit creepy.

From all this information that makes it difficult at this time is the greatest achievement Ana is not on the planet Mars like what Axel said before but is in the project of reviving people who have died.

At that time Ana did it alone with the help of [Axel Goddess] who controlled the super auxiliary unit which is the personal assistant that Aizen had previously, and thousands of robot units from his personal area.

Aizen tried not to think about how many souls had been sacrificed and how many corpses were subjected to experimentation.

He even tried not to remember what had happened to his original body at that time.

In that year, this experiment became a very secret project and not even a single soul knew. Feeling that the research was enough she destroyed all the evidence and sent all the results of her hard work to the [Axel Goddess] main server and locked it from all access to physical visits which produced great controversial results on Earth.

Over time Anastasia Maxwell was considered dead in the [Axel Goddess] main server which resulted in [Axel Goddess] being locked out of all physical access but since the service still continued, people slowly forget this tragedy.

The loss she experienced from his death had a profound impact. Ana fell into madness! Ana's situation at that time is at the top of the cycle in the level of human social caste, and included in the category must be avoided.

If normal people are in zone one, intellectual people are at level two, humans with strength at level three, and humans who have power and intellectuals are at the top level. Then Ana's condition at that time was in a different world from all of them, one level with Aizen from a different perspective.

Although Aizen realized he is not a completely good person, he also has done many things from the dark side to stay on top. Even the initial aspirations of [Axel Goddess] came from twisted ambitions to be recognized and remembered by the world, which meant great selfishness for himself and not for others.

Ana left a lot of data along with theories and prepared a list of tasks that would be done by [Axel Godess] when she knew that she would also die someday, she collected all of her data to be archived along with her father's data and killed herself beside her father's body that was already restored by technology.

Although the madness was continued by [Axel Goddess] herself until she finally succeeded several centuries later.

The superior body that Axel had been carefully forming so far didn't help him in this matter. The thing Axel worried didn't happen beforehand thanks to this superior body. When processing the complete information that had been updated previously did not make his head hurt, but at this time Aizen who saw Ana's eyes felt his soul was chaotic and his hands were trembling.

His brain tried hard to calm his mind so that he kept thinking clearly. With a trembling hand, Aizen hugged Ana tightly, holding his words that he said long ago and his promise that he had just said to herself some time ago.

"Ana... I will say it to you once more. Whatever happens, I will still love you." Aizen said it directly as if it came from the bottom of his heart.

Ana who was in his arms finally could not stem the waves of tears that she tried to hold. A torrent of tears flowed from her eyes, she hugged the man she loved so much more than anything. Her mouth opened and closed as if to say something but not a single word came out of her mouth.

Aizen who can feel what Ana feels and thinks because of their mutual relationship from the [Axel Goddess] System knows what she thinks but does not say.

Ana sobbing and venting out what she has experienced while Aizen can only stroke Ana's long hair gently, and remember the words Ana said a long time ago when they made up after Ana's confusion and her insecurity that led to an unharmonious relationship in her adolescence.

What Ana said a long time ago was true, she didn't need anything else but himself. If he is her world, then what she does after he is gone is quite understandable.

*hic* *hic*

Aizen heard a soft cry beside him and felt sadness that was not inferior to Ana. He looked sideways and saw Axel who was also crying, sobbing, trying to hold back the sound of crying.

Even though Axel didn't have human emotions at first, she was Ana's half-mother figure. After Elena left them forever at her young age, only Aizen and Axel in various units accompanied Ana from childhood to adulthood.

Furthermore, after Ana was left by the only person who had a blood relationship with her, Axel was the one who accompanied her even from all the madness and continued until it succeeded.

After hundreds of years passed until Axel has a real human body and build emotions over time. The feeling of longing for two people who have contributed greatly to her also appears slowly following her emotions.

One hundred years of full effort to reach that goal. Aizen thought that if Axel was not focused on reviving them she might have been [Rank 11] or more and had her own divinity. Knowing what Axel actually went through, it was like thousands of words he wanted to say but Aizen knew that wasn't what Axel needed right now.

"Axel... I will also say it to you once more. We will be together forever." Aizen pulled Axel and hugged her tightly.

Feeling the sincerity of the man she cares the most, she finally gave herself over from an overwhelming emotional impulse.

At the moment two crying girls were in his arms, Aizen's eyes had been cloudy ever since Ana sobbed. But he convinced himself that men shouldn't cry.

This is not a sad ending or a disappointing beginning, but just an expression of the overflowing emotions that have long been hidden to welcome their new tale to come.
