Chapter 726 726: Avatar of Machina
"Bring back the feed, quick!"
"Buy the nearest satellite if you need to!"
"But… the nearest satellite belongs to Ross!"
"Fuck!"
Whether the Reubens or the Government, the two were currently panicking as they tried to bring back their feed. They were nearing the most important parts, and now they could not even connect to their satellites—even their screen started to distort, showing nothing but a blue screen.
As for Bernard, he just quickly switched to another satellite—and he did this all standing on top of a building with nothing but his Whiteking suit. But switching to another satellite alone was actually not enough. There was a reason why the feed disappeared and their screens turned black, and that is solely because of Chihiro's sudden appearance.
Chihiro's abilities are passively capable of restricting any form of technology from working around her—something that only her abilities could control, and not her directly.
But Bernard, of course, found a reason to bypass this restriction throughout his adventures to different universes.
One would think he would have a confident expression on his face solely because of this face, but no. His fat cheeks were currently quivering and the smile growing on his face was because of extreme anxiety.
[The System… It's like it is afraid.]
Chihiro herself doesn't know the extent of her abilities, of what it truly is… but Bernard does.
Chihiro's powers were granted to her by Machina, a god. Specifically, the God of Machines…
…a Primordial God.
Primordial, as their name suggests, are the oldest gods in existence. They weren't old gods, but more ancient than them. They are beings of creation from creation.
The concept of the multiverse is foreign to them. As for them, the multiverse is all just part of a single plane on which they could just freely move.
These primordial gods do not interfere with the workings of the universe, as they have already done their part during creation—
everyone and everything that has happened and will happen is insignificant to them.
A universe will disappear, and the most they would do is be curious. But sometimes, however, they would get bored—but they limit their interference as much as possible, and one of the ways of doing so is by a contract.
They choose an Avatar, and Chihiro is one of those people.
The Avatar of Machina—she exists in all universes without fail. This is also one of the reasons why the universes are similar to each other—the primordial gods make sure their avatars will be present everywhere.
They manipulate certain events, some even as small as a single atom, just to ensure the existence of their Avatar.
And the reason why Bernard knows all of this is that he had personally met Machina during his early ventures throughout the multiverse, or more specifically, he came to Bernard in a form of a nightmare.
And what Bernard saw was something… unfathomable. Bernard has always been confident that there were no secrets in the universe that could hide from him, but he was hit with a reality that might as well be a fantasy.
The Primordials are beings that will always be beyond him—
something that can never be surpassed.
And a being like that…
…is afraid?
"Shit…" Bernard could not help but just cover his mouth as an unexpected breath escaped his shivering lips,
"Just what did we let inside our universe…?"
'And what was his variant thinking raising someone like this?' But then again, this thought made Bernard wince. After all, he himself knows how foolish he becomes when it came to family.
That was his greatest weakness.
"Anna," Bernard let out a sigh loud enough to drown the waft of air blowing over his head.
[Yes, Whiteking?]
"You do still have the location of the Universe Riley came from, right?"
[Yes. As it is saved in Ms. Hannah's files, it was completely safe from the files that were deleted. Would you like me to open a Portal for you in our super secret base?]
"Yes," Bernard nodded, "It is time to find out what is really—Wait."
Bernard was about to fly away, but before he could do so, another figure joined Riley and the others in the park.
"What the—I thought she was already sleeping in her room!?"
It was, of course, none other than the Hannah of this universe—just casually walking across the park, still in her pajamas.
"Riley, what are you doing here?" Hannah let out a subtle yawn as she just casually approached Riley out of nowhere, "And… isn't this Golden Fox? And who is the weird done with a ski mask?"
"I…" Gracy did not really know what to do from the sudden appearance of Hannah—probably the most famous woman on the entire planet, "I… ????????????????????????????????.????????????
…am Shadowfox," and so, Gracy could really only cover half of her already covered face with her hand as she introduced her… new title.
"Shadow…fox?" Hannah squinted her eyes as she looked at Gracy from head to toe, before finally glancing at Chihiro, "The two of you a group?"
"N—"
"Yes," Gracy was the one to answer, "We are all part of a secret organization."
