Millennium Tension

Chapter 2: At The End Of His Time

"Ana, what are you going to do today?" Aizen changed how he called his daughter after she begs for it yesterday.

"I don't know what I'm going to do, I've resigned from the company where I work." Ana answered her father while continuing her breakfast which they had not done together for a long time.

Aizen and Ana's house was very large for the two of them, with more than ten thousand square meters just for the building. Even so, Aizen had no difficulty in maintaining the cleanliness and security of this house. In 2030, he no longer employs people in his personal territory due to privacy and confidentiality issues. Thousands of supporting robot units spread throughout his personal area and connected to the [Axel Goddess] System that made his life easier.

"Here is your tea, Master Aizen." A robotic voice came from the auxiliary unit while serving him a cup of tea.

"Thanks, Axel." Axel was a nickname when Aizen was spending his personal time on an Impartial Artificial Intelligence System which he created and currently, Axel has been developed until she is almost perfect.

Axel did not answer and only bowed slightly to him. This unit is one of the many robots owned by Aizen but only one for her caliber, an auxiliary unit that has thousands of active sensors and is very human-like. Very limited numbers and very high prices if it is on the market, Aizen made her as his assistant and personal servant. [Axel Goddess] is indeed almost able to do everything, but she still needs a container to carry out the user's orders.

"Daddy, how about I will follow you wherever you go?" The smile on Ana's face seemed suspicious.

"Hm... okay. You've learned about science and technology at university and took the field of Artificial Intelligence, right?"

"Yes. I'm in the fifth semester at Nanjing University. At the same university father met the mother." Ana was glad her father agreed to her request. She did not know what was happening, but she was very reluctant to leave her father's side.

"What if you went to visit my research laboratory in the basement of this house? Then we can go to the [Axel Goddess] main server in space. I don't mean to be arrogant, but I am the only access for you to go there."

Hearing her father's offer Ana widened her eyes as if in disbelief. A sacred place that she had never even visited in this house and the brains of [Axel Goddess] were the destinations of their visit.

"Really?"

"Of course, if you want to follow me wherever I go, maybe being my assistant is the best choice."

"Daddy is the best in the world." Ana is now unable to hold back her feeling, she hugs her father and kisses him on the cheek.

"Alright my little princess. Finish your breakfast and we can leave immediately."

Ana released her hug and immediately finished her breakfast as if she hadn't eaten for several days. Aizen just smiled at his childish behavior while wiping the kiss on his cheek with a tissue. While Axel saw Ana with his neutral gaze seemed to be paying attention to potential competitors as Aizen's assistant.

-------------------------

"This laboratory consists of three levels. The first level is the place where robot units are stored, the second level is the place for producing and repairing robots, the lowest level is the place for energy sources and supercomputers for all technologies in this private area."

Arriving at the laboratory Aizen went around while introducing everything in the laboratory. From reconnaissance drones to defense Systems, all Aizen explained to his daughter who enthusiastically received new knowledge.

"Daddy. Isn't [Mystical Stone] you have is very big?" The three of them finally arrived at the third level of the laboratory. Ana was surprised to see large [Mystical Stone] attached as a resource for all of her father's personal property.

In this new era, Aizen not only made Artificial Intelligence, but he also made many technological breakthroughs with [Mystical Stones] which he discovered accidentally. From transportation to kitchen utensils all use the same resources. The stone that can be found in space as an asteroid has become a very valuable object and is heavily guarded by the government and [Axel Goddess].

"If you are surprised by this then what will happen to you when we arrive at the [Axel Goddess] main server?" Aizen smiled amusedly.

"Master Aizen, Mr. Smith Halton requesting your attendance at his important meeting today." Aizen has given many of his duties to Axel, and accepting calls like that is one of them.

"Axel, I'm spending my time with my daughter and tell Mr. Smith I don't like something sudden if it's not urgent." Hearing her father's statement about the rejection was because of her, she felt there was a butterfly in her stomach.

"Understood."

Time went by so fast for them, the time spent in the laboratory did feel like just a moment had passed.

*Growl*

Ana blushed because of the strange sound from her stomach.

"Ana, it's noon, how about we have lunch first before continuing to space?" Aizen with amused face seemed concerned

"Humph!" She looked away from her father feeling ashamed.

"Axel, prepare a shuttle for our departure to [Axel Goddess] main server."

"Understood, preparation time will take fifteen minutes under normal conditions." Quite a long time to prepare for outer space transportation in this fast-paced era. But it can't be helped, all space actions are tightly guarded by the government, and the unregistered flights will have a great risk of being shot down.

Aizen just nodded and with his daughter who was still blushed returned to the surface.

Time passed quietly for them. After having lunch they immediately boarded the shuttle which was parked in the yard.

"Ana turn on your security system. This is no ordinary airplane and is very fast, maybe the time needed to get to the [Axel Goddess] main server is not up to half the time you spent to finish your lunch." Ana obeyed her father's advice without complaint. Even though she had been on a plane before, but this was a new experience for her riding a super-fast spacecraft owned by her father. The dual safety of the aircraft and the [Axel Device] located on the neck is the right decision for first time experience.

"The aircraft with flight code #FS08761523 will take off... Three.. Two... One... Zero..."

*BOOM* *SWISH*

The shuttle that was already heading toward the sky was going very fast. Ana's face began to turn pale as she saw the rapid changes outside.

"Requesting permission to enter the main server, entry code in the name of Aizen Maxwell." Aizen talking to [Axel Device] in his neck.

"Request accepted... Welcome back, Master Aizen... Please enter using the port one."

Sure enough, everything passed so quickly and Ana was still pale when she got off on the shuttle.

"Master Aizen, this is your one hundred and twenty-three visit after the main server is active in the space." Ana looked at her father in amazement and turned her eyes to Axel who spoke from the auxiliary unit with some dissatisfaction.

"Ana, this is the main server of [Axel Goddess]. All data is processed here before returning to Earth and the large purple stone floating there is the [Mystical Stone] found on the first space expedition."

The extremely large with sharp flakes object floating in a place like valleys and very tall poles, enveloped in flashes like electricity and dazzling sparkles. When compared to what Ana saw in the basement of the house with what she was seeing now, then it was like a pebble and the Heel Stone.

Ana was truly amazed to see this, but considering that the main server was already as big as a city, she quickly recovered and calculated.

'If ten grams of [Mystical Stone] can produce resources equal to the power used by a large industry for a year, then how much energy can be produced by a stone of this size!?' Aizen saw his daughter who smiled strangely with her thoughts and seemed to know what was on her mind.

"[Mystical Stone] itself can be transformed into various kinds of resources such as electricity, heat, cold, and so on. But not everyone can have the stone. Because of that, we found [Aizther Iron Ore] as a basic material for making rechargeable batteries for storing the power produced by [Mystical Stone]. If you ask how much energy this rock might produce, then Earth doesn't need to worry about a lack of resources in the next hundred years." Ana felt ashamed that her father seemed to be able to read her mind and blushed deeply.

Time passed so quickly once again. But Ana was still very excited to hear her father's explanation from the many questions she raised, and they returned to Earth after Aizen saw Ana getting sleepy.

They spend time together happily with many new discoveries that they produce and have applied to the community. It has been three years since Ana's first trip into space with her father. [Axel Goddess] is now considered perfect and far beyond human processing capabilities. [Axel Goddess] can be called immortal in its field with abilities that continue to develop without limits.

Aizen smiled that night. Remembering what he had accomplished with Ana and Axel.

'Today is a very beautiful day, I can't wait for tomorrow.' Aizen saw the beauty of the night and closed his eyes to sleep.

Unknown to Aizen, this is the end of time and the end of those pleasant peaceful days.

In 2033 Aizen Maxwell died for no apparent reason. The world cries because of it. Anastasia, who now bears all of her father's responsibilities, is left alone in the world.

--------------

"Welcome back, Master Aizen." the familiar robotic voice rang out.

'Huh, shouldn't it be good morning?'
