Like a blight of affliction plaguing the world the scar in space was menacing. Along the jagged sharp edges, ripples formed like waves spreading apart as a visible airflow surrounded the portal as if trying to converge inward like a wound healing itself. The visuals were disturbing but Cale remained unaffected for this was his ticket to freedom. As the scar overlapped with the barrier, just as Cale expected, without any struggle at all, the barrier immediately broke. Seeing this, Cale was super excited. Honestly, Cale while holding much expectation wasn’t completely sure this would work. His knowledge of space and matter convergence was very limited to only knowing that there was a finite quantity of matter that could occupy a certain position of space at the same time. Therefore when multiple layers of space collide together in a particular position then the matter occupying that position would be obliterated. Cale’s power worked like overlapping another layer of space from a

“Is this what you call talent?” Selene was filled with doubt. She wasn’t a fighter so she wasn’t exactly aware of things related to combat. The only thing Selene understood were numbers and in this particular case, she was very familiar with the numbers related to the robots in her possession. These robots had been in Selene’s possession for a long time so she knew what they were capable of. As a researcher and non awakened without combat training, they were the only means of protection that she possessed. Naturally, Selene had tried to understand them as much as possible. Of course there weren’t much opportunities a researcher like Selene would have to test her robots in a combat situation so she only understood their theoretical capabilities based on their stats. Selene also understood Cale’s physical capabilities. The tests she’d run on Cale while he was unconscious revealed what he was physically capable of. Thus after comparison, Selene concluded that Cale shouldn’t be ab

Selene watched as Cale’s eyes glazed over into unconsciousness from her kick which was wholly satisfying to her. Thinking of how close she had come to falling into Cale’s hands, Selene thanked her lucky stars that she was unharmed. And thinking of the reason why Cale eventually failed to capture her, Selene quickly retrieved a small device from her pocket. It was a small metal ovoid device shaped like an egg with intricate lines and patterns engraved all over it. Through these lines, a complex array of gears could be seen running within from which a dim blueish light twinkled on and off. This egg shaped device was a micro barrier generator designed for personal use by soldiers in the battlefield. The barrier worked by emitting a certain frequency that caused air molecules around a specific area to vibrate. This vibration was mostly undetected as it resonated with the surroundings, taking factors like heat, humidity, atmospheric pressure and other environmental factors into consi

Shortly after, Trevor, leading a group of people consisting of guards and medics arrived by Selene side and immediately began cleaning up the scene. On spotting Selene leaning on one of the walls, sitting, Trevor quickly headed toward her with a few medics who began attending to her. But selene brushed them aside when they got close, instead instructing. “Leave me, I’m fine. First secure the subject and prepare him for relocation. I applied a strong sedative to him so he should be knocked out but don’t let your guard down. He is strong.” “It’ll be a problem if he manages to escape.” “Understood,” Trevor said. Then turning to the people he brought he quickly ordered. “Didn’t you hear what she said? Get moving.” At once, the guards quickly approached Cale, entering his cell after disabling the barrier, and secured him in a full body restraining mechanical harness resembling a straight jacket, leaving only his arms exposed. “Make sure to lock up his arms,” Selene suddenly sa

The old man, now the focus of attention raised his sleepy eyes to look around at everybody whose gazes remained trained on him. Then, his eyes went back to look at the woman who had last spoken, staring at her contemplatively. Seeing as the old man did not respond immediately, someone asked, “Old Ludric, what is this about an anomalous source that you were put in charge of? Explain it to us.” After that person spoke, the old man finally responded. But he did not reply to the man’s question but instead addressed the woman from before. “How did Minister Bolovia know about this matter? As far as I know, it should be a secret known to only myself and the three administrators.” Minister Bolovia didn’t respond. She simply smiled while staring back at the old man. Sigh! Eventually, the old man sighed and shook his head before saying. “It doesn’t matter. Since the matter has been exposed I can only come clean and explain everything.” Old man Ludric didn’t want to delve into Mi
