Millennium Tension

Chapter 3: The World We Live In

Aizen slowly opened his eyes and looked at the situation around him. He realized he was floating inside a liquid-filled tube, but strangely he was still able to breathe normally. All the equipment around him seemed very strange to Aizen who had just opened his eyes.

Memories began to come to him about the last time he had done. After [Axel Goddess] was considered perfect, he fell into a deep sleep in his room while remembering the achievements he had achieved with Ana. But after waking up from his sleep, he was in an unfamiliar place.

'What is going on?'

"Master Aizen, I know that you are confused and have many questions. But allow me to complete your awakening process first."

'Axel? She is the only one who calls me that. But that figure was not the auxiliary unit I knew. But what does that mean by awakening?' Aizen saw the figure of a young woman with long blond hair, beautiful blue eyes, pale white skin with a golden ratio body.

Aizen who was now watching the face of a beautiful woman before him suddenly felt that his body was full of life. He knew that a big change was happening to him.

"Congratulation Master Aizen. You have broken through to [Rank 1] and have been freed from a mortal body." Aizen who had come out of the tube walked towards the woman he thought was Axel. He realized that he was completely naked but his curiosity won out of his shame.

"Are you the Axel I know?"

"Yes and no, Master Aizen"

"What do you mean?"

"I am the Axel that you created one thousand and three hundred years ago, but at the same time I have evolved and it is no longer the Axel you know."

Aizen now feels a bad feeling coming over him after hearing this statement and he began to panic.

"What.. what happened to Ana?" Although Aizen was shocked by that, he cared more about what happened to his daughter. But he tried to stay calm and think clearly in the current situation.

"After your death, Ana inherited everything her father had, including supreme power over [Axel Goddess]. She continued her father's struggle for a better world by herself. Her greatest achievement was that she carried out development on the planet Mars to make it the second planet for all humans, seeing there will be an explosion of people on Earth soon."

Hearing that Aizen feeling sad and guilty, what his daughter felt toward the death of the only remaining family she had must be hard for her.

"But before all of this began Ana did a madness that she had never even thought of before. Because unable to accept her father's death, Ana did not cremate her father's body and only sent a fake disguised body to the funeral in the public. Ana conducted experiments to revive her father by all means."

"Did Ana managed to revive me?" The bad feeling that Aizen felt hasn't disappeared, he knew the sequel might get worse. Even the crazy things his daughter did to his body were not the worst.

"Unfortunately Ana didn't succeed. She died at the age of forty and she had predicted that she would also die someday. Ana put the archive of all data from her father's body and herself at the highest priority level to be revived someday and her death was kept as a secret from the public eyes."

Aizen was struck by the loss of his daughter, but he recovered quickly as he was still alive so it's most likely the same thing happened to his daughter.

"If I have been revived, will Ana also be revived?"

"Ana's body is in the process of awakening in the next room, Master Aizen." Aizen immediately rushed to the adjoining room to check on the state of his daughter. He saw the body of a woman curled up and she was floating in a tube just like himself a moment ago.

'Ana my daughter. You suffered so much from my departure. Even though you could look for happiness, you chose the difficult path of grief. '

Axel only watched her master who might be reminiscing about his past.

"Master Aizen, please wear your clothes first." After a while, Axel reminded while handing over the complete clothes to her master.

Hearing that Aizen returned from his train of thought and realized that he was still naked. Aizen just smiled awkwardly and wearing the clothes Axel gave him.

"So, can you tell me about what I need to know?" Aizen felt a little calm and heaved a sigh of relief. But he was still curious about the bad feeling he had felt before.

The next explanation was very surprising for Aizen and took a long time for the explanation to be finished. The civilization that he developed with the hope of an amazing future was shattered. Humans are not the dominant creatures currently living on Earth.

In 2121, there was a great plague that was like the end of the Earth. Animals and plants begin to mutate following changes in nature, but only a handful of humans can survive and others are eliminated. Even though they no longer felt the incident in the world, Aizen knew the despair experienced by humans at that time.

The project Ana left behind was continued by Axel in the list of tasks that had been prepared beforehand and that project seemed to be a light of hope for the remaining humans, but not all humans agreed with the transmigration. Some people who call themselves [Ability User] are humans who have successfully mutated, they assume the Earth is their origin and they will struggle to get it back from the monsters of animals and plants that mutate very fast.

In 2123 humans split into two civilizations, one which occupied Mars and the other who still fought on Earth. At that time the planet Mars actually has not really been completed according to Ana's expectations which were continued by Axel, but the situation on Earth that forced Axel to make that decision.

More than a thousand years have passed, the planet Mars became a place of new civilizations that continue to grow until now and humans who are still on Earth are no longer a ruling race. The law of the jungle applies there, the strong prey on the weak.

Birth rates are the next big problem experienced by humans on both planets. After a thousand years, Mars has become very similar to the blue Earth, but the population is no more than four hundred million people and humans on Earth are not more than twenty percent from humans on Mars.

Five hundred years ago Axel and the main server [Axel Goddess] left the human civilization and looked for ways to revive Aizen and Ana.

"Okay, at least now I know about what happened." Aizen sighed while processing the information before continuing.

"So what do you mean you have evolved?"

"When my expedition to find a way to revive human, I found a civilization on a planet called Zavier. There I used a human artificial unit to look for components to make a real human body. Until I finally succeeded and made my body a hundred years ago and Master Aizen also successfully resurrected." Axel answered with a neutral face.

"[Axel Goddess], an Impartial Artificial Intelligence System is no longer Impartial? Then what about the Artificial Intelligence System that exists on Earth and Mars?"

"Master Aizen, I made a new Artificial Intelligence System from a backup on the main server and left it operating on Mars before my departure and acted as a replacement for [Axel Goddess]. While the System on Earth is no longer supported, and they have been disconnected from the server on Mars, leaving them an independent Artificial Intelligence System."

"So what does planet Zavier look like? And what did you mean by your congratulations that I reached [Rank 1]?" Aizen asking again as if he is a child who eager toward something new.

"Zavier is a planet ten times bigger than Earth, and humans there rely on a technique called cultivation to improve the capabilities of their bodies. [Rank 1] is the first level above the mortal body that I named for the cultivation stage there." Axel answered patiently like a teacher who now teaches her student, even though he was the one who created her beforehand.

"Is that so. Then what level is your cultivation?"

"[Rank 9]!" Axel puffed out her chest while emanating a bit of her energy, looking proud of her accomplishment and waited for her Master praise with an adorable look.

Aizen was rather overwhelmed to see the Axel he created and spent time together now has a living body and a life filled expression. He didn't know anything about the cultivation she was talking about, but he didn't want to disappoint her expectation, Aizen smiled warmly. "That's amazing! I can feel the powerful energy emanating from you!"

"Hehe, of course." Axel seemed to come out of [Axel Goddess] mode and become an ordinary girl feeling happy about the praise from her master.

"Why hasn't Ana been resurrected?" Her body is still floating motionless in the tube and Aizen is worried something bad will happen to her.

"Master Aizen, I estimate the resurrection process will take fourteen days. The distance between your preparation and Ana is one day, so Ana will be awakened tomorrow." Aizen breathed a sigh of relief and he tried to calm down first, a lot of information he didn't know, and needed an explanation, but reluctant to ask again so he closed his eyes on the sofa and finally fell asleep.

Seeing this Axel smiled suspiciously not known to the world what she was thinking.
