“Ely?” Brian was shocked when he saw Ely next to him. She had tears in her eyes and she was waiting to hug Brian. When he called out by her name, she instantly dashed into his embrace.
“Wuuuuuuuuu! I-Sob! Sob! I thought you would never wake up.” Ely cried as she clutched her hands around tightly. She had lost her daddy in her timeline.
Now, she had access to her dad once again even though he is from another timeline, she didn’t want to lose him again.
Brian patted her head and slowly smiled. He finally understood why he didn’t die but he was still confused. After all, Ely shouldn’t be able to help him in his conditions.
He knew his conditions more than anyone else and if he had even a little more time, he would’ve done something at least.
He sighed and his eyes fell in front of him. He became a bit startled when he saw the figure in front of him.
“Charlotte?”
He couldn’t help but feel even more confused. She looked like Charlotte but she clearly wasn’t. She was a lot shorter than Charlotte he knew.
Suddenly, his eyes widened. He remembered her from the time when Young Ely told her about her and her sister.
“You…. Are you my daughter?” Brian couldn’t help but shudder a bit. After all, Charlotte hasn’t even gotten pregnant yet.
Ely slowly pushed herself away from his embrace and wiped away her tears. She walked near her sister and put her hands on her shoulders.
“Daddy, I want you to meet Julia. I told her about you, right?”
Saying so, she pushed Julia closer to Brian. Julia although seemed calm outside was frightened inside. After taking a few steps, she couldn’t even gather the courage to move further.
Brian takes a deep breath and opened his arms. He smiled and said “I might not be the dad from your timeline but I am still your dad. Won’t you give your daddy a hug?”
Hearing his words, Julia started tearing up as she ran toward him and jumped into his embrace. When she was just a child, her father died. She only had her mother and sister but even her mother died soon after.
After that, it was her sister that took care of her. Even though her sister was very good to her, it wouldn’t change the fact that she doesn’t have a father or mother.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNo matter how much of a genius she might be, the loss of her parents would change her mood. Even Brian who promised his parents never to use his technology for destruction slightly changed it after the death of his parents.
Although he didn’t outright create destructive weapons for others, he did create some for himself. He even created a Celestial Killing Bomb that could be used by anyone if they manage to complete a certain quest as Young Ely did.
But, of course, it still meant that just because you are smart and intelligent doesn’t mean you won’t make mistakes.
Brian despite being so smart still can’t count the total number of mistakes he has made. And, no matter how smart they might be, they can’t forget the emotions and pain of losing someone closer to them.
Julia stayed in his embrace for a long time while Ely just watched them from the side. She was a big sister and she felt like she should act like a big sister, giving her little sister more privilege.
After some time, Brian rubbed Julia’s head and asked “Did you understand the No Dimensional Codes?”
Julia excitedly nodded her head and said “It was amazing, daddy. Although I had seen the files where you mentioned No Dimensional Codes, I never expected these codes to be so powerful.”
“That’s my girl. It’s good that you have managed to gain all the knowledge I left in your universe. But, I still don’t understand. Did you get notice of my situation or was it all coincidence?” Brian asked.
“It was all coincidence.” Ely came forward and replied.
“We ran away from our universe.”
Hearing her heavy voice, Brian sighed.
“So, is he the one targeting you two as well?”
Ely nodded her head and said “In our universe, you never created GMD or even developed technology to a higher stage or maybe it just became he couldn’t find you before. But, Julia finally developed her own Fifth Dimensional Tech and he spotted our position.”
“Or at least, that’s what we believe otherwise it must be just a coincidence.”
Brian heavily sighed and said, “Fifth Dimensional Tech is a hundred times more precious than Fourth Dimension Tech and Thousand times more precious than Third which is used heavily by everyone in the universe.”
“So, it wouldn’t be surprising that he found you guys, or rather you could say that he was watching over you. He wanted to be sure that Julia had the ability of our race.”
“Daddy, what race do we belong to?” Julia curiously asked.
James also got curious and listened carefully.
“We belong to the human race but our history is quite different. We are humans from a previous era who had managed to reach the pinnacle in technology and genetics.”
“I also found out about this recently. Our human race was the strongest because we managed to survive the greatest catastrophe of the universe and live in this new era.”
“But, someone changed it. My parents/ your grandparents slaughtered the entire race and finally killed each other. I was the last survivor of it because of a certain circumstance.”
“Our blood holds the key to unlocking the greatest weapons in the universe. Dragon Lord is hunting us for that.” Brian explained.
Hearing his words, Julia, Ely, and James were shocked beyond belief. They couldn’t utter a single word for a long time until James finally broke the silence.
“But wait, if your blood is the key then can’t you use your blood to unlock those weapons?”
Brian bitterly smiled and said “Do you really think I hadn’t thought of that? But, the universe itself is so big and the weapons are already hidden. Even with the help of Ely, it would take a long time before I discover those weapons.”
“That’s going to be a problem. If you had those weapons, it would have been much easier.” James sighed.
“Don’t worry, I still have a pass to enter Chaos Online. Once I level up inside the game, I will be able to gain strength faster than you think.” Brian reassured him but James was still not fine.
He quickly added “But, what if that guy comes for us again? We are in no condition to face him. We would be wiped out easily.”
“That is indeed trouble. We lack strength right now.” Brian sighed and nodded his head.
“Daddy, I might be able to help.” Julia slowly raised her hand and spoke.
Brian looked at her with confusion and asked “Do you have any solution?”
Julia nodded her head and showed him her watch. She tapped into her watch a large green screen appeared above it.
“From one of your theories, I found a device that could detect the genetic energy throughout the universe. To unlock my genetic powers and my sister’s genetic powers, I devised a practical method that unlocks strange energy from our genes.”
“Using this energy, we can use Gene Secret Art. If we combine the energy of gene with this detector, we might be able to search anything that contains the energy similar to ours.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“After all, except for the three of us, there should be no one with the energy of our genes, right?”
Hearing her plan, Brian’s eyes widened. He quickly held his daughter by his arms and lifted her up.
“Your idea is brilliant. It seems like my brain cells are slowly degrading compared to my daughter.”
“Hehe! Daddy might be getting old.” Julia cheeky giggled. She loved the feeling whenever Brian praised her. It almost meant the world to her. After all, if there was one person who she believes was smarter than she was her father.
And, now she was getting compliments from her father for her intelligence. It was the greatest feeling for her.
“Daddy, not fair, I am also smart.” Ely pouted and jumped at him. She landed above him and Julia and the daughters and the father started laughing as they talked for a long time.
James found something to eat. Lily was able to prepare the pure synthesized food with a lot of nutrients and an amazing taste.
Soon after, Brian also joined since he was also feeling hungry. Julia and Ely also joined them. After finishing their food, Brian looked at them and said.
“Although my plan has been constantly failing, let’s take another chance. I will call home and inform them about my situation. For now, Julia and I will try to find the location of at least one weapon.”
“If we do end up finding one, we will go and try to retrieve it. With that, we might be able to protect the earth for a while. At the same time, I can enter Chaos Online and train there.”
Hearing his words, Julia, Ely, and James nodded their heads heavily.
…….
Somewhere else in the universe,
A man wearing a golden gown slowly floated into the space. He looked around and muttered.
“So, they managed to come here before and also managed to hide the presence of the universe from Time Corps. No wonder someone with that level of intelligence would openly travel from one timeline to another.”
“Now that timeline is rather a new universe itself. I wonder what time is it? Past? Future? Present? Well, at least, this universe’s Brian shouldn’t be a waste like his counterpart.”
At this moment, his eyes suddenly got drawn to a figure that was flying around space. This figure had golden scales covered all around him. Seeing him, a smile appeared on his face.
“I should meet him before making any move. It seems like he is in a hurry to find someone. Who else would it be other than Brian, right?”
