The Absolute: Humanity's Second Chance

"...A bummer." He thought. But there were also hundreds of billions of various spirals around him. The clone doubted that within them all, not one carried hints of life.

And there... began it's chase for someone to talk to. A third of a day went by, and by the 2 443 899th spiral of light that the clone came across, it finally found hints of life.

"Oho!! Lifeforms at last. Lifeforms!! And not just one of them, but there are... let me see... uh, er, billions of them... Hahaha, finally, finally, Haha." The crazed clone of a god burst off at full speed towards the sky blue spiral of light.

It flew through the space, and tore through the spiral of light, everything around it being enlarged the more it went deeper and deeper into it.

The burnings spheres that had their own systems were enlarged first. From afar, they also resembled a convergence of various light, ten at least, and hundreds at most, changing shape and form as they moved.

And the one he was flying towards, was more like a quad helical DNA structure. Four spheres, one of rock, one of water, one of air and one of fire, were all circulating around a much larger sphere of darkness and light.

The sphere of darkness and light was at the center, and was mostly made out of light, with multiple rings of darkness around it.

And the closest one circulating next to it was circulating around it the fastest. The second was made up of rocks, circulating half as fast as the first one.

The third was the one of air, circulating four times as slow as the second, and the last one was of water, circulating eight times as slow as the third one.

Thus creating a unique quad helical structure. "This is confusing... but not much focus for now..." The clone thought, flying towards the second sphere as fast as it could.

"Finally. Some entertainment. I wonder what race I'll be meeting. And whether they are good people or not." It thought, flying towards the rocky sphere.

~~~~~

Within a random lucky planet.

One full of life and joy.

A planet that was once lucky amongst countless other plants and stars, as it had life in it. And these lifeforms, were proud Silex, a race of great wonder and intelligence.

They were directly born from the core of their world, and had great powers within their grasp. The strangest of them were powerful Epics and the likes.

But as the years went by, they were weared out and lost their connection with the world, and were drained of their power.

They became weaker and weaker, and at some point, their strongest was barely a Master. And these were those that trained their whole lives, and cultivated day in, day out.

But that did not cut off their path of life. They were naturally intelligent creatures, and through the exploration of their creator's body, they obtained rare resources and the likes.

Years later, to the present time, they now had powerful technology in their grasps. And were even close to initiating the space exploration era of their race.

Unfortunately, as they saw the current situation, they might not leave past the next few minute of their lives.

BEEEEEP~

BEEEEEP~

BEEEEEP~

Alarms rang out wild throughout the headquarters of multiple nations. Their top brass military members were running around in jambles, as phone calls and commands were sang around.

"What's the emergency?!" A Silex roared out in anger. It's body was made up of silicon, and shone a bright grey color as it hurriedly charged into the room.

His physique was powerful, and he stood at three meters tall. He wore neatly sewed clothes, no less professionally made than those of the modern era.

"S–Sir, there, there is a... there is a fast approaching meteor coming at us, sir!!" One of the numerous Silex under him said, nervous to the bone.

"..."

The Silex commander remained shocked in silence. The high technological room he was in, that could rival the control room of galactic warships, was full of panic and chaos.

The loudest sounds were of the alarms singing doomsday tunes to their ears, and the frequent rushed melody of fingers dancing on keyboards and holographic interfaces.

"S–sir, sir.." The officer tried to call out to him once more, and the commander pushed him aside in silence.

He then roared, "LISTEN UP YOU LOT!! I DONT CARE WHAT YOU DO, BUT WHATEVER IT IS, YOU MUST MAKE SURE THAT THING NEVER TOUCHES THE SURFACE. AM I CLEAR?!"

His voice boomed throughout the room, like Thunder falling from the skies. And his subordinates all became stern as they responded with vigour.

"SIR, YES SIR!!"

The response almost shook the entire room, almost. But what truly shook the room, hell the whole nation, was a thunderous "BOOM!!" that shattered the very sound barrier.

Another city had beat them to it, and released a hypercharged nuclear cannon. And not only them, more boomerous sounds rang out, showing how many nations saw this meteor as a threat.

"...Release our own nuclear cannon. Charged it up to full power, and let it loose." The commander laid out his command, becoming the 27th nation to immediately respond.

And that was not even a fifth of the total number of nations that responded to this attack. Almost the whole planet of four billion Silex felt threatened and responded in nature.

Meanwhile, Flint's clone that flew towards the planet at quite the relaxed pace, covered in stella flames, thinking about how it was going to introduce itself, saw multiple giant metallic arrows flying towards it.

"...Am I being perceived as a threat? Of course I am." It thought, counting up to a total of 157 giant metallic arrows flying at him at sonic speed.

"It'll take a while for them to reach here, so maybe I should meet them halfway..? Nah, I don't feel much threat from this, so I'll let it hit me as a sign of peace... a good idea, right?" It thought to itself.

And just like that, Flint's clone took, head on, the attack from over a hundred hypercharged nuclear bombs. Ones so powerful compared to the modern human's own atomic bomb.

The development of the Silex had almost, by 100%, spread out of their sphere of influence, their planet Silexia. And anytime, they could begin space exploration.

The also had knowledge far greater than modern humanity's knowledge about space. Their hypercharged nuclear canons had laws that could be applied within the process of a supernova.

Of course, they were not as powerful, not even close, to a real supernova. But one could still wipe out an entire nation from the surface of the earth.

And Flint's clone took over hundreds of them head on. 'Hopefully it won't hurt as much as it won't kill me.' It thought amidst the light of explosion.

The nuclear canons struck it, outside the influence of Silexia, creating a powerful explosion of light that turned night to day.

Yet no sound of explosion was heard whatsoever. All the Silexians saw, was light so intense, it rivaled that from their sun, spreading out within space.

"Did we... take it down?" The commander from before asked no one in particular, breathes held in anticipation.

But at this moment, their surveillance systems finally kicked in, and though blurry, a hazy humanoid figure could be seen within the comet of flames.

"S‐Sir, you might... you might want to see this..." A Silex at the front deck said, and the commander silently walked over. 'Don't tell me it didn't work at all?' He thought.

But when he got there, and could also slightly decipher the hazy figure, and he was lost for words. "...An alien?" He presumed, not so sure of his own words.

"I, I believe so, sir." The Silexian responded, also not much sure of its own words as well.

"Oh my god... it's, it's still alive..." Another Silexian said, catching the attention of both Silexians from before.

The both of them went up to the surveillance cameras of the current standard time. And there, when the light cleared out, a humanoid figure of a young man could be seen.

"...An alien." The commander repeated, more certain about his claim now. At the same time, he commanded for another nuclear canon to be packed up.

Almost all nations also responded the same. Since they already targeted the being, they just had to see it through to the end.

As for how they were unable to catch the clone's appearance at first, was because even as advanced as they were, they could still not instantly capture something traveling at ten times the speed of light.

They only got a quick snap due to it reducing its speed when it thought. Meanwhile, the clone underwent the explosion without so much as a scratch on its body.

"So it truly didn't hurt as I expected." It then nodded, transforming into a blast of flames that immediately entered the atmosphere of Silexia.
