My Talent's Name Is Generator Chapter 927 The New Owner
Previously on My Talent's Name Is Generator...
"What do you mean?" I inquired, my gaze narrowing as I attempted to grasp her perception.
"It feels like an unfamiliar force breaching my personal domain," she articulated slowly, her eyes still fixed skyward, as if penetrating the very heavens. "My instinct screams to annihilate it… yet simultaneously, a distinct warning signals its perilous nature."
A soft chuckle escaped me, accompanied by a slight shake of my head. "That much is accurate. It is foreign… but let us refrain from opposing it. Not for now."
She turned her gaze towards me, scrutinizing my features for a brief interval before giving a nod. "As you command."
Then, her expression underwent another transformation, a flicker of anticipation resurfacing.
"Come," she beckoned, extending her hand. "I shall reveal something to you."
Without hesitation, I accepted her offer. The instant our hands clasped, the fabric of space contorted around us.
In the blink of an eye, the garden, the capital, and indeed, Vaythos itself, vanished, replaced by the boundless expanse of the void.
We found ourselves adrift amidst the stars. No, more accurately, we were hurtling at an unimaginable velocity.
Not through conventional space, but traversing its very essence, phasing between different regions as if distance had ceased to hold meaning. Celestial bodies materialized and dissolved around us in rapid succession, each possessing its unique character and identity.
"This one," she murmured, her grip on my hand tightening subtly as she directed my attention forward.
The emptiness ahead warped, and what subsequently appeared was a river.
A colossal, flowing current suspended in the void, stretching across an entire sector like a luminous artery etched into the galaxy. It shimmered with hues of silver and pale blue, its surface undulating as if liquid, yet it maintained its form, refusing to dissipate into the vacuum.
"What is that?" I questioned, narrowing my eyes.
"Essence flow," she responded. "A naturally formed current that has developed over eons. It bridges numerous star systems."
I observed as fragments of rock, debris, and even minuscule life forms were swept along its path, traversing light-years unimpeded.
Before I could further examine it, the spatial panorama shifted once more. Now, we stood before something far more peculiar.
A collection of enigmatic, floating structures. They bore a resemblance to landmasses suspended in mid-air, each piece rotating serenely around an unseen axis. Bizarre flora sprouted across them, their roots dangling freely into the emptiness, while faint energy pulses migrated between the fragments like ethereal veins.
"Those are not planets," I stated.
"They are shattered worlds," she replied. "Failed formations that, instead of succumbing to collapse, achieved a form of stability."
We transitioned again. This time, the encroaching darkness felt… more profound. Initially, I perceived nothing, but as my senses adapted, I began to discern it.
A shadow, not cast by any object, nor born from the absence of light.
It existed independently. It spanned a vast region of space, distorting everything in its vicinity. Stars situated behind it bent at unnatural angles, their light contorting as if being drawn into an unseen abyss.
"What is that meant to be?" I inquired, my voice dropping slightly.
"A void scar," she explained. "An aftereffect of something that rent space asunder and never fully mended."
The moment hung suspended for another beat before she propelled us onward.
Entire sectors blurred past in streaks of light and shadow, each one presenting a unique spectacle.
Then, we came to a halt. The void surrounding us fell into stillness.
"There is one final matter," she announced, her voice now imbued with a softer tone.
Before I could inquire further, the space around us subtly dimmed, and instead of transporting us elsewhere, she projected something directly into my consciousness.
A vision.
I perceived the galaxy.
The Blue Spiral, immense and breathtaking, unfurled across the void in its familiar configuration.
Then, a ripple materialized.
Violet.
It commenced infinitesimally, barely perceptible at first, originating from a single point before expanding outward. The instant it began, I felt it—the sheer velocity, the colossal scale.
It propagated with astonishing rapidity.
Faster than anything I had ever witnessed.
System by system, region by region, the ripple surged outward, traversing stars, planets, and the empty void alike, leaving in its wake a subtle yet irrefutable alteration.
"What is this?" I asked.
"My dominion," she responded with unwavering calm. "Once it reaches the extremities… all within will fall under my absolute control."
I watched as the ripple continued its relentless expansion, its momentum increasing rather than diminishing. Entire swathes of the galaxy were engulfed within mere moments.
We remained stationary, suspended in the void, observing its unfolding. Time seemed utterly irrelevant.
The ripple did not tarry. What should have transpired over eons concluded in what felt like mere instants. The wave reached the outermost boundaries, touching the very limits she had previously indicated.
And the instant it did, everything transformed. Right before my eyes, the projection shifted.
The Blue Spiral…
It shifted to a violet hue, not obscuring its original form entirely, but as if a new layer had been placed atop the old. Then, faintly, I perceived it. An outline. A phoenix, its form stretching across the vastness of the galaxy, a barely-there illusion that lasted but a moment. Its wings curved in a spiral, its presence both subtle and immense. I glanced at Vivi; she remained silent, a slight smirk gracing her lips.
"It's beautiful," I murmured, my gaze still fixed on the fading cosmic display.
"Thank you," she responded softly, a tone of satisfaction in her voice.
A moment of silence passed between us before she suddenly spoke again, "You know, I've been considering the creation of a new territory for ourselves. Twin stars, multiple planets, something built from the ground up rather than inherited. We'll position it near the galactic core and relocate individuals from Vaythos there. It shall become the new nexus of power within the Blue Spiral."
"I like that idea," I agreed. "It will be stable… and under our command. A realm that develops according to our vision, not dictated by the echoes of the past."
She gave a slight nod. "Good. Then I shall commence planning soon."
After a brief pause, I continued, my tone shifting, "Now that your evolution is complete, I can finally attend to the matter I've been putting off."
She looked towards me again. "Where?"
"The Crimson Zone," I replied.
Her expression changed instantly. The previous lightness vanished, replaced by a profound seriousness.
"I can already tell you it's not ordinary," she stated, her voice dropping in volume but sharpening in focus. "It's not merely a region or a phenomenon. It's… consuming."
I frowned slightly. "Consuming?"
"Yes," she affirmed with a nod. "Laws, matter, essence… everything. Where it expands, nothing remains. It doesn't corrupt or transform. It devours."
This gave me pause. Even I had not anticipated that.
"And there's more," she added, her gaze narrowing slightly. "I sense a greater danger emanating from it than from the system itself."
I studied her then. That was not a statement she would make lightly.
"Understood," I said after a moment. "Then I shall go and witness it firsthand. I need to ascertain what it truly is."
Before the growing tension could fully settle, I exhaled lightly and shifted the subject. "But before that," I added, a faint smile returning, "we should hold a celebration. We've just eradicated the Eternals from the Blue Spiral, and on top of that, the galaxy has changed hands."
Her expression softened slightly at this. "A celebration?" she echoed.
"Yes," I confirmed. "The Order will orchestrate it. Something grand. Not just for us, but for everyone. A resounding declaration."
She tilted her head, considering the proposal, before nodding. "That sounds… pleasant."
"And," I continued, glancing at her with a trace of amusement, "I will prepare a gift for you."
Her eyes instantly brightened, the earlier gravity receding just enough. "A gift?" she inquired, a small smile forming. "Now I'm certainly intrigued."
"Let's go and meet the others. They're eager to see the new Vivi."
