Chapter 42: While I Was Away
Transformed into Cosmic Horror in a Sci-Fi Universe – 42
EP.42 While I Was Away
After making thorough preparations, I followed Ubbo-Sathla to the universe he had set his sights on. It was a bubble located quite far from the one I had inhabited, and it was significantly larger—about twice the size of my previous universe.
The vastness of this universe meant that countless planets and life forms thrived within it. The physical laws were similar yet slightly different from those of my previous universe. For instance, the gravitational acceleration was a bit off, and the constants in the thermodynamic equations varied slightly. These differences resulted in life-sustaining temperatures exceeding 60 degrees Celsius, but that was not his concern.
My task was to cultivate a being powerful enough to dominate this universe but won’t create enemies in the universe. Ubbo-Sathla had attempted something similar with the Lubaran tribe, but they had failed to conquer the entire universe. Their focus on conquest rather than destruction had led to their downfall.
Despite the terrifying experiments and research conducted in the underground labs of the Union Headquarters, they were insignificant compared to Ubbo-Sathla’s power.
This time, I needed to create a being with abilities surpassing those of the Lubaran tribe, capable of both dominating and destroying the entire universe.
[If the destructive tendencies are too strong, it will create an enemy. But if it’s too docile, it won’t destroy the universe.]
It was a challenging balance to strike.
