Transformed into Cosmic Horror in a Sci-Fi Universe

Transformed into Cosmic Horror in a Sci-Fi Universe – 19

EP.19 The First Elf in Universe

[Ah.]

Just as I was about to proceed after finishing the design, two issues came to mind.

The first issue is that the moment I cross back into the universe, the tear in the dimensional rift I emerged from will be detected.

This would alert the Galactic Union that something has crossed over.

While I can solve the issue of my body by transforming it into an energy body similar to cosmic radiation, I can’t conceal the torn space.

Well… it’s not a major problem.

I could temporarily disable the Galactic Union’s detection devices at that moment, and if discovered, I could erase the memories of those involved and delete any transmission records.

But to avoid future complications, I’ll briefly disable the detection devices when I tear through space.

It’s not a difficult task.

In fact, I wonder why I didn’t do this before.

…Maybe I was just too lazy.

That’s settled, now the second issue.

What to do about Eugene.

Currently, Eugene is being controlled by a backup personality I created.

Though this personality is essentially a part of me, there’s still a difference between me directly controlling things and the backup personality doing so.

Even though it’s a personality split from me, it’s still an independent entity.

Moreover, changes in the future caused by my doppelgänger don’t seem to be included in my knowledge.

If I wanted, I could go to the rift, which has no concept of time, and see the future of the universe… but I’m currently enjoying the drama, and I don’t want any more spoilers.

Yes, I’m watching Eugene’s life like a drama.

Since it’s come to this, let’s consider Eugene not just as my doppelgänger but as an independent creation.

I’ll decide that the backup personality currently controlling the body is the real ‘Eugene.’

Leaving it like this, I won’t know how his relationship with the Galactic Union will develop in 10 years, or what impact he will have on this universe in the future… but isn’t that more exciting?

Time is inherently interesting because it has no predetermined direction or endpoint.

If everything ran towards a fixed end in a set direction, what could be more boring?

I actually prefer that even an Outer God has things they can’t predict or know.

In an unimaginably eternal life, it’s good to have events that can still pique my interest due to my interference.

The creation of this species and civilization is the same.

How they will change the future.

How they will grow and what kind of presence they will become in this universe.

There’s no way for me to know.

I’m just creating the Elf species as I please and planting them in the garden.

How much they will grow and what kind of flowers and fruits they will bear is something to be seen.

…Well, just as I knew the information and future of the Lubaran race the moment I was born into this universe.

If I asked another top-tier Outer God with similar powers, I might learn their future.

But I won’t do that.

I’m not a pervert who wants to hear spoilers for a movie or drama I’m looking forward to.

Anyway, I’ve decided how to handle the two issues that came to mind just before crossing over.

Now it’s truly time to return to my birthplace.

This time, I’m not just stopping by like when I got rid of that giant monster.

I plan to stay for quite a while.

At least until my species, the Elves, are firmly on track.

If any problems arise, I’ll be there to take care of them immediately.

Crossing into the universe, I obscure the Galactic Union’s vision.

Thanks to that, there’s no reaction from their side.

Alright, let’s quickly move to the nearby supernova.

It’s best to choose a place without any major civilizations nearby.

We don’t want our new civilization to be devoured before it even has a chance to grow.

Let’s see… Oh, there’s a suitable spot in Sector G.

A recent supernova explosion has created a place where new stars are about to be born.

The immense amount of material dispersed by the supernova is clumping together to form stars and planets.

In this place, creating a star system out of nowhere wouldn’t seem strange to the Galactic Union.

Sector G of the universe.

It doesn’t even have a galactic identification number.

In other words, it’s not under the jurisdiction of the Galactic Union.

The Galactic Union’s reach doesn’t extend here, so monitoring and detection are lax.

So, hiding behind the supernova explosion and creating a star system in ten seconds won’t be a problem.

Even if a star system suddenly appeared in an empty galaxy, it might raise suspicions, but here, stars are already being formed by the supernova explosion.

As the saying goes, hide a tree in a forest and a person in a bustling city.

So, when creating stars, the best place to hide them is where stars are already being formed.

Even if the Galactic Union eventually sends a team to explore this galaxy and investigate intelligent life, by then, our Elves should have grown significantly.

If not, I can always hide them from detection.

For now, let’s quickly move there.

Hmm~ I can feel the effects of the supernova explosion on my body.

Being an energy body perfectly attuned to the surrounding energy, I can feel a sudden surge of energy within me.

Haha, at this rate, I might end up creating a star inside my own body.

But if you’re wondering how I’ll create a livable environment for life forms in such an immense energy-filled space…

Of course, I’ll adjust the cosmic environment accordingly.

Huh? Wouldn’t the sudden void of neutrinos and light in the middle of the supernova be detected?

No need to worry about that.

Since this galaxy is beyond their influence, the Galactic Union won’t pay attention until the effects of the supernova dissipate.

Even if they do discover it, I’ll cleverly conceal it, so there’s no need for concern.

We need to give the civilization time to develop.

…It might seem like a cheat, but it’s necessary.

Isn’t that right?

When playing a civilization-building game, no game suddenly sends a fleet to destroy everything just because an anomaly is detected from the outside.

If such a game existed, it would get heavily criticized and disappear right after release.

Even if such events occur, they usually happen only after the player’s civilization can somewhat handle them.

So, me shielding and concealing everything is like a beginner’s protection period blessed by a goddess.

In this case, it’s not a goddess’s blessing but an Outer God’s blessing.

Anyway, enough with the digressions.

Let’s get down to creating the star system.

I’ll make the main sequence star slightly larger than the Sun, and surround it with several planets rich in minerals, enough to build a Dyson Sphere around the star.

Lastly, I’ll create the Elves’ planet in the Goldilocks zone, the perfect place for their development.

The planet will be slightly larger than Earth.

Its surface area will be about twice that of Earth.

The larger, the better.

Additionally, I’ll create another planet in the Goldilocks zone, positioned for future terraforming when the space age arrives… Okay, that should do it.

Ah, a larger star in the Goldilocks zone, and a well-prepared star system to match.

I think I’ve done a pretty good job adhering to the laws of the universe without any setting errors.

Now, I’ll skip the numerous processes that primitive Earth had to go through and create a planet with a livable temperature, liquid water in oceans and freshwater, and a suitable amount of land… and that’s it.

The birth and evolution of life, extinctions, and so on.

I’ll skip all those processes.

Watching all that might be like enjoying a large terrarium with a mini-ecosystem, but doing that for billions of years is a bit much.

Speeding up time on the planet to observe natural evolution is an option, but there’s no guarantee that Elves would be born.

It’s best if I create them quickly.

I want to nurture a civilization, not play a cell-raising game or Spore.

So, I’ll skip everything and create forests with suitable temperatures in various places to match the characteristics of the Elves.

And finally, it’s time to create the Elves.

Now… how should I do this?

Intelligent life forms typically undergo appropriate evolutionary processes, evolving in various locations.

Among the evolved species, only those with the highest intelligence and strongest adaptability survive and eventually dominate the world.

But what if there’s no such process?

I could create Elves in promising areas where civilizations are likely to form.

Large rivers, fertile soil, and abundant resources.

Since I initially created the environment with abundant resources and conditions suitable for life, there are many such points.

With so many points, not just four major civilizations but maybe even ten could emerge.

Now, I need to sculpt the Elves directly. As expected, since they are Elves, they should have blond or silver hair and be handsome or beautiful… and the most important feature.

Pointy ears!

Ears that can droop, perk up, or turn red, allowing the expression of various Elf emotions visually.

Yes, yes.

This is what makes them truly Elves.

Satisfied, I nodded as I looked at the forms of the first male and female Elves I created.
