Lens sat in a control room where he can see a lot of cameras on the screens " Nothing interesting to find , good thing there are no children that got lost " he found some ruins in the wastelands through a unit .
" Hmm this looks interesting " the units picked up a mural in a ruined area that had the thickness of a thousand-page book " Hmm that's a nice mural " it was old but not too deteriorated . Lens commanded the units to start scanning it .
" A good antique it's made of hard material and has some dense power emitted from the monsters . " he operated the units to bring the mural to base " Hmm wonder what kind of MU should I make "
Lens heard a knock on his door and looked at the time " oh their up " he gets up from his seat after ensuring that his commands are properly written " Morning kids " Lens opens the door with a smile on his face .
" Morning dad " the children smiled at Lens " How was your night ? " Lens patted their heads while the children closed their eyes to avoid the hair poking them.
...
The units left the ruins and walked to the base with the mural . The wasteland was a place in a post-apocalyptic area with a lack of life, food, water, or anything that life needs to live .
This place was nowhere for anyone to survive but Lens has a base and detected life around which led to his adopted children's life . He lives in a base shut air-tight to prevent the light and pollution from entering .
His base was self-sufficient with plants growing organically , a lab where meat is artificially grown replicating the actual animal , a water supply that recycles everything and MU's ( Modified units ) under his base to gather limited resources from the outside like metal .
" Dad these taste so good " " Yes and eat it with some cabbage and it will taste even better " Lens received the mural at the front door which was placed in a box for disinfection ' Oh I have to deal with this '
Lens took the plates to the kitchen while the kids saw the mural he bought in the living room . They all regained their memories which caused them to look at each other " Oh so this is our new bodies now ? "
Nexus touched his face and looked at a mirror " I look like a young human boy " " This body is alright " Iris used clairvoyance to look around the house and even checked on Lens .
" Dad is still in the kitchen so what should we all do ? " Crow looked around with his visual prostheses " Wow I can't believe dad made this " Circe sighed " Dad made a lot of things " Zori tested his powers and felt they were much easier to use .
" Ugh and we didn't forget how to mess with the laws " Zero looked at the stove " Oh dad uses a stove with the lowest energy source " Primis opened the fridge feeling the cold air " He also used the same device those intelligent civilization uses to cool and preserve their food "
Cael looked at the books on the shelves " At least we always have something to do " Minerva looked at Lens and tried to read his mind but was repelled ' Guys dad is very strong " ' How can you tell ? "
Nexus looked at Lens and couldn't find anything ' She's right Crow I can't even reach pass him " Zori pulled a book with telekinesis ' We should probably worry about revealing our powers " ' Yeah those who were different were always rejected . "
' So my kids are bigshots huh ? ' Lens was "looking" at them after hearing Nexus talk about his skin ' I thought something took over their bodies but it's regaining the memories of their past lives '
' That must be the reason for their names . '
Lens had looked throughout their past lives and looked at them even happier as they got stronger .
' That's so nice these kids want to have a family ... no wonder they can already read when I found them , that should be the real reason why they stopped aging and I thought it was because they were successful experiments of the elf imitation project '
" Kids I'm going back to the lab ... have fun today " Lens placed the last dish on a basket and went to the living room giving each of them a pat on the head " Bye dad " he closed the door and went to his lab leaving the house made of titanium " I should continue rejecting alliances "
Lens answered a call and looked at the dwarf on the screen " Lens do you agree to our alliance " Lens looked at the printed paper and shook his head " No like always " " You will be defeated by the monsters " " I don't think so I have been staying in the same spot for years . In fact, you should be the one who needs this alliance . "
Lens smirked knowing the situation of many bases struggling to survive in the post-apocalyptic world " But you also need it too , to strengthen your base " ' I kinda copied all their technology so I highly doubt I would need any alliance '
" I think my technology is still better than yours , I got better mines , resource gathering , troops and even defenses ... Sooo yeah I highly doubt I'm gonna need any support from this alliance " " You may have the technology to fight but what about the active galactic nuclei ? Which is sucking the surrounding solar systems and you don't even have a way to run "
Lens thought about the supermassive blackhole which would be supporting the galaxy while also consuming it ' I did see Zori make a black hole denser than the galaxies ' " I do have the resources to use and the method to use teleportation ... In fact, you should just stop modifying and agree with my first contract "
" Enslaving us ? " " To be precise you just can't hide anything from me your leader ... you should let go of the fact you survive invasion by escaping and staying under the protection of the strong ones instead "
" Pride is not gonna feed you anything " " And aren't your children going to hate you for this ? " Lens shook his head " First off I let them understand adults ... you were adults who take advantage of others' weaknesses and guess what ? Now you can hear your daughters cheer while the rest of your citizens are selling their kids just to live "
Eric clenched his fist and his eyes looked like it was gonna pop out " Bye ... can't have that face around my kids " ' Though they probably seen much more terrifying things ' Lens turned off the call and made a device he had constructed to use on the moral .
" I can make a tv series out of this just like any other entertainment at home " Lens looked at some artifacts he had gathered and made a scan to get entertainment " A lot of interesting things in here . "
Lens walked to the artifacts and categorized their history ' Hmm the genesis seed the tree whose leaves can surround and resist the heat of a star and it can resist higher temperature once it grows , the loop box extracted from the infinity time loop no end or beginning and holds all the records of other time loops . '
' A study book which can link to the reader's knowledge or maybe experience and makes discoveries the user can understand has limitations , a pile of artifacts that has a lots of features technology is capable of making a copy ' Lens took the finished product and looked at the upgraded tablet " Okay settings to a portable size "
Lens moved some commands on the touchscreen and put together a few circles connecting them as the table closes on its own " Okay time to get my kids a new show and let them be comfortable in their identity with some precise planning to avoid hurting them "
...
" Guys , we should break this Mural " Minerva suggested " Why ? " Zero looked at the mural and see nothing wrong with it " Zero dad makes comic books , TV series and movies from the artifacts he bought using some kind of technology so he might make another set of series "
" Then how do we destroy it this house has nothing which would cause an accident " Iris looked around hoping for something that could be used to destroy the mural " I know big sis can help " " Right we have a big sister " Zori looked around but couldn't find the 4-year-old anywhere " Where is she Nexus ? "
Crow thought for a moment and was reminded " Right big sis is outside having fun again " Primis thought of her current life memory and sighed " At least we have a cool sister " " Forget the sister what do we do ? " Cael asked everyone and Circe came out with an idea " We cry "
" !?!?!? " " When dad finds out about our real identities we cry like babies , dad has a soft spot for us maybe or at least we can convince him we just want to be his kids " everyone didn't have any shame in doing it and thought of Lens who is always with them " Okay at least we can try "
...
Lens was still in his lab wondering how he can expose their secrets without making them cry " First off I need to make a slow approach summoning something strong and keeping it beside them won't work since I have full control of the summoned "
" But what if they just outright told me ... yeah but I need to show them I am fine with it even though they are stronger I couldn't care any less as long as they aren't burdened with such a weight " Lens hears a doorbell and saw Amara in a car he let her use to run around " Oh she's back quite early " Lens left his lab and went to the gates .
He manually sets commands and starts with opening the outer layer of the base to let Amara inside and scanning for any virus , or infection on the units " The car also has disinfectant features so anything inside it would have no radioactive isotopes and unknown viruses "
A four-year-old girl came out of the door " Morning dad I came back before noon " she smiles while Lens gives her one too " Amara I need to tell you something " Amara looked at her dad very seriously and worried that her younger siblings might hear something very bad .
They enter the lab and then to a hidden room and the corners of the room were sealed air right and sound was silenced once it reaches the wall . The place is closed denying the entrance of spatial rifts , magic , clairvoyance , electromagnetic instruments couldn't spread information and any information instruments cannot be used .
" Dad what is happening is it the end of the world ? " Lens sighed knowing that Amara was the most matured child as she was granted access to go outside " Okay Amara your little siblings are "
...
Minerva , Iris , Cael , Crow and Circe were trying to get through the room as Zori heard Lens telling Amara they needed to talk " They're using that room again ... " Zero had guessed what might've happened " Then that means the end of the world is near " " Yeah Dad always does this with big sis when that happens " Minerva stopped trying to go through the security and calmed down .
Crow tried to sense any impending danger and so did Primis " At least I got good news " Nexus opened his eyes and got some answers for everyone " We never mentioned our names until the end of our past lives " " That's great dad always watches the beginning of story using the book to highlight the interesting parts only "
They all looked at each other smiling but then Minerva reminded them about the disaster " Then Cael can open a portal for us " Cael looked at Zori annoyed " I don't want to be very busy for you guys " " Or we could ask dad if we can run around " they all looked at Nexus with a lot of questions on their heads " Come on dad let's big sis ran around the wasteland and even let her go to dangerous places . "
" So you think he will allow us the GEO program's failed experiments to go out ? "
...
" Yeah you can go out just wear these first " Lens pushed a button and some cylindrical containers rose from the ground " These are very comfortable and have a lot of function and if you wanna come home just think about it or the suit can do it in case an incoming danger approaches . "
Nexus smirked at the others and took his suit " Thank you dad " ' Come on we have a lot of cleaning up to do " ' You won this time Nexus " Crow replied putting on the suit with everyone else " Okay now you do you want to go in the same cars ? " they all looked at each other and replied with a telepathic network ' We should go separately " ' Agreed "
" Uhm I wanna go on my car " " Okay but do you want to have units or an AI ? Raise your hands for Units as companions " ' Guys let's get AI " ' We know Nexus " Lens smiles happily looking at the nine children getting in their cars as the suit was placed on portable devices .
" Be safe out there " Lens waved while Amara tugged his pants " Dad I'm hungry " " Okay I got two sandwiches how about we watch how they got the mural in the first place ? "
" Mural ? " " Yeah it's a precise and maybe plain art " they entered to find the mural sitting on the table under the TV " And there are nine patterns how did this happen ? " Lens looks very amazed to see this " Wow they're beautiful "
Nine patterns were displayed or etched on the mural as it replaced the old engravings of words ' I do have an exact copy of the characters on it ' " I'll see if this is dangerous " " Dad can I see it too ? " Lens looked at the mural for a while and nods " Okay but we have to do it in that room " the two went into the room and laid down the mural to let it face the patterns up .
" Oh I think there are some words here . Let's see : Nexus the link , Crow the blind , Iris the light , Minerva the mind , Zero the source , Primis the first , Circe the teacher , Zori the force , Cael the traveler . Maybe we use that as a reference " Amara nodded as Lens put the tablet on the table which helped him take an analysis .
" Dad do they know you can read this language ? " " No I just learned it today when reading the engravings " Amara looked at the projection as it shows them a great light show " Wow this must be Iris " she pointed at the white sun that emitted the lights her eyes can perceive " That must be Crow " Lens looked at the darkness and then at several lines that read many languages " This should probably be Circe "
" Ow this should be Nexus and that should be Zero " there were spheres connecting and different shapes connected to a hollow source " Then that should be Primis and that is Minerva " the point of an endlessly tall pyramid glowed and their life was shown at an animated image .
" This should be Zori " Amara pointed at an image of a lot of shapes floating in the air with strings attached to the vertices of the shape " this probably should be Cael " they looked at the last projection of a crack in the air .
" So is Minerva , Nexus and Circe the one who made that book ? " " Maybe ... we can make a whole TV series with it " Amara nods as the one about the loop box was too boring mostly about the time loops that trap a certain target until a criterion was made .
" Dad where do you think little sis and brothers are going ? " " Probably to their "bases" " " Dad since they're not at home can I eat something spicy ? " " Sure "
...
' Guys I'm telling you we can just use the car's telephone " Minerva and Nexus complained as they waited for their siblings to pick up ' I had already searched through Amara's memories ' and Iris was the first to reply .
" Fine but first what do we know about the end dad was talking about ? " Cael thought for long as everyone except Crow joined the chat " Might be the end " " What ? " " The end it slowly destroys the aspects of creation "
" I think I'm familiar with it " Primis recalled an opposing power that existed once she created herself " The end will start destroying things like the apocalypse I felt it when we regained our memories back "
" According to my traveler scouts the end is like a program it will first destroy the aspects of creation . Structures are turned to dust , life is killed and til there is nothing that can develop existence . "
Zero looks at Cael's profile with shock " That's terrifying " " But it isn't very strong just like Cael said the end is like a program and it doesn't develop so as long as we took care of it it doesn't come back until another end comes . "
They all nodded hearing Primis's experience " So is there like any target we need to destroy first ? " Zori looked outside to see if any of the monsters he sees should be a product of the end " To start it's a bit hard to find them since the end's purpose is for destruction "
" I can give examples " Cael thought of the many years his travelers were finding a solution with spatial rifts " They could be a powerful predator or it could control anti prowess "
" Or the problem dad is dealing with could be an invasion " Nexus thought of the many powerful species he had absorbed into his collective " Well I did occupy a lot of places " " We now Cael " Circe was annoyed at Cael's bragging voice .
" I did encounter some highly adaptive species . No matter what I throw at them they get back up . The only way to kill them is destroying the body " Circe remembered a formidable army that appeared through a ship " Those creatures you encounter should be a host of parasitic minds we don't have to worry about them since I have them with me "
" Can you tell us some of them ? " Iris asked Minerva as she remembers she dealt with them too " most of the ones I captures have strong physical prowess but are very weak in mentality I can send them in a simulation without much trouble so as long as we don't find a collective mind then we can deal with the rest easily "
" Can help with the collectives I have them under me ... Where is Crow by the way ? " Nexus has been waiting for Crow since he was the only one to have not gone out yet " Maybe he is doing something else ... I'll call him " Nexus tried to call Crow but he couldn't hear anything .
' CROW !? " ' Sorry I took off my eyes " ' Put them on you can't see the screen without it " ' It's gonna hurt even after I regained my memories " Nexus heard a scream from the network and sighs " Okay let's tell Crow what he missed "
...
" Are you sure you want to do this ? " Lens asked Amara as he waited for her response " Yes dad I need to know what they faced " " Okay " Lens played the video as they watched the past of their family . At first , they saw the beginning and learned their origins .
Primis created herself and became the first to exist . Nexus was born in a drug addict family and forced to survive on drugs , which drove his mind crazy . Zero was born inside a planet to avoid the freezing void of space outside . Circe was a poor and curious orphan who couldn't afford to go to school . Cael was lost in places caused by spatial rifts and errors .
Iris was born in a cave where light is magnified and reflected . Zori was born during a war as many weapons were made . Minerva was experimented on during her childhood and Crow was blind from birth .
" At least they survive "
The first time Cael learn to use his power was when he wanted to escape a dangerous place . Minerva was also the same as she destroyed the mind of her captors . Zori had to protect himself by forming a force field to block countless attacks .
Crow managed to move without bumping into things as he slowly mastered using his blindness to his advantage . Zero learned to create energy and defy the laws of energy conversion . Nexus dealt with his multiple personalities and took hold of his own body as he slowly was able to bring out the egos physically .
Primis created living beings and planets as her actions caused creation to be born from nothing . Circe sneaked into many libraries as she learned more and more knowledge and used them to transmute or perform changes . Iris having stayed inside the cave for so long started commanding the light as everyone that lived in the cave survived thanks to her .
" Ugh, why did they have to suffer for so much ? " Amara wiped her tears and blew her nose while Lens comforted her " Don't worry they are going to be happy now that you have been caring for them despite their destructive behavior "
Amara swallowed her tears and Lens gave her some tea to drink " Come on Amara your a good big sister you should be very proud you were with them even though you were having fun like me running around the wastelands " Amara took a deep breath and slammed the cup on the table " I will be a better sister to them from now on "
Lens smiled and patted her shoulder " No snacks and dessert for you " Amara looked at Lens with shock " Why !? " Lens pointed at the broken cup that she broke " nnn fine " " It's okay just make sure you don't get hurt " Amara looked at a photo album " Dad look this is the time Crow woke up with eyes . "
Amara pinched the corners to play the picture " I was wondering why he was so surprised and kept closing his eyes " Lens smiled and put away the memory storage " I'm going make sure they don't see these files . They might cry when they realized we knew about their past . "
Amara nods repeatedly showing her resolve " Yes sir I will " Lens chuckled at the four-year-old attempt to act like she was in the military " Okay little kid did you bring anything with you by the way ? " Amara thought of the box that was still in her car " Oh right ... should I send them inside ? " " Yeah just make sure you do it manually and review . " " K dad " Amara placed the album on the coffee table as Lens deleted every evidence that those videos were played .
' There such little kids ' he played with every photo as he recalls all the times they were having fun .
...
" So is that clear ? " Crow was forced to wear at least one prosthetic eye to look at the screen " Yes " " Good so now we will deal with any potential threats to our peaceful lives " the call continued as they thought of their sister " Amara was very mature for her age right ? " Minerva asked " I mean it's because Dad lets her follow him when he does any expedition while we watched them through a body cam "
Nexus still remembered the time Lens offered them to follow but they downright refused since they had everything " Maybe we should bring some guards for dad ? " Zori suggested having encountered war and knowing the consequences as his family was targeted but were people he didn't put a single value on " So how are we gonna do it then ? " Primis asked as she prepared the blueprints on her strongest fighter .
" We can't hide them Dad easily figured out the location of his sniper without even looking " Crow on the other hand prepared a selection of shades and constructed a training program " He can also figure out who is who when he was surrounded with real genetic clones " Nexus carefully added variables that they can use to bring a guard in .
" We can bring a guard who is very smart it will be a good way to give dad and sis guards since we can just say they are smart " Circe looked through her academy as she looks for any students capable of applying what they learned " We can't hide them in darkness since he fought with a shade before "
" Since dad can tell who is watching him then that makes it very hard to choose a guard we will look very suspicious if someone is guarding dad since he doesn't have any allies " Iris thought of allying " Wait how about sending a representative and make him ally with us ? " " Iris that is even worst than getting guards he will be very suspicious of the deal and alliance "
Zero sighed after pointing out the flaws of getting a guard and an alliance deal " I know how about we grab a guard that is very weak but has great potential or talent " they all looked at Minerva's profile and realized the answer to the problem " You're right " " We can get the most potentially strong guard for dad and sis "
The nine kids nodded their heads and closed the call with Crow poking the screen at random places refusing to put on a prosthetic eye .
...
Amara found the box and looked at a base which had been shrunk and surrounded with a screen to make them believe they had never left " Now to prepare you for my little galaxy " Amara went to her room and opened a vault to see a spiral called a little galaxy " Planet one " the base surrounded with a screen was then covered with a protective shield to send them away into the little galaxy .
The box containing the base was placed beside the little galaxy with a tube that shrinks as it goes to shrink the base " Hello hello Mic testing " Amara turned on a megaphone used to send her voice through the base " It's me Amara the girl who came to your base and I am readying to bring you to my little galaxy ... this place has a lot of food and shelter and there is no need to panic "
Amara made the volume a little higher and continued " You might encounter some other bases but I already made a deal that no one will hurt no one so prepare yourself and there is a microwall which is an intangible but also tangible in terms of force wall that prevents the resizing of the little galaxy . " Amara made another announcement as she readies the commands " Prepare for shrink down which would likely take a while ... "
Click everyone in the base started to panic as they have been living a life where everyone could be a liar . They saw the "sky" change as it changed from a daylight scenery into a black view with waves of energy pulsing from their east . They look at the wasteland horizon to see a "sun" but it was emitting multiple colors as they were blinded by the lights .
Outside the box , Amara moved a mini star with a machine to control the energy adding protection to the screen and turned on some music for fun " shrinking in 3 ... 2 ... 1 blast off " she hit one more button to see the star emitting higher power levels and moving forward to her little galaxy .
' I should also visit ' Amara took a bracelet and tapped it as the nano suit wrapped her body " Visiting visiting " she went to a chamber connected to the little galaxy as she set a timer and entered the chamber . The chamber automatically closed and a flash of light broke out sending her inside the little galaxy .
She appeared inside a room or a ship as she got out of another chamber and tapped and turned the password into the mechanic to let the nanotech gathered on the disk and turned back to a bracelet " Great " she put the bracelet on her wrist and operated the ship to descend from the ground .
' Maybe they have toys I can give to little sisters and brothers ' Amara cheerfully walked out of the ship pretending like she was a local .
...
Lens was in his lab again as he took out all the treasures he has " Does Primis want the genesis seed back ? ... I mean I did want to use it on a microverse by turning the giant seed into many smaller specks of it "
Lens looked at the human height and barrel-thick seed in his lab " How about recreating it with a genetic copy then " another seed similar to it was bought up in a container that had the looks of the same one except smaller and has darker colors .
' Of course this seed needs lots of nutrients to match the original you can't exactly imitate the glory of an original work of art after it has been around for many years . ' Lens took the data of the comparison between the two seeds .
' Needs time and nutrients to match the original work ' he looked at the microverse project and thought ' There is no sentient life yet in this program so throwing this kind of copy would be fine ... rather than the genesis seed this is more like a parasite that will suck as much nutrient to attain the form and ability of the genesis seed '
" In other words , it's like an immortal plant that will keep eating the surrounding nutrients ... but it doesn't exactly have to be a parasite " Lens clicked a few commands and created a hologram of DNA .
' As long as I mess with the seed by messing up the instincts like a program I can edit the whole thing removing the problems and even turning this copy into an intelligent plant with capabilities of adjusting to the environment . '
Lens used a neuro tech and linked it to the DNA letting it copy it whilst the nanotech was absorbed into the level of DNA to create an editable DNA sequence .
" See through the adaptive genetic sequence and then to the rest of it while also giving the nanobots the ability to duplicate by using a genetic sequence or trait that gathers metal so the cells can have an additional part which will be machines that create more nanobots and having the capabilities of duplicating itself in the next cell division of either mitosis or meiosis and acts as a sub-control center while the control over the entire plant is on me "
Lens took the bracelet as the seed was absorbing the tech .
