" Yeah that does sound useful " " Enough about me what about you two ? " Circe asked and looked at Nexus " If that's what you want then " Nexus positioned himself more comfortably .
" You two are similar somehow you both are closely related in your mental abilities " Circe said " Not entirely " Minerva said " Yeah Minerva can read minds in a certain range but I can connect to anyone I put my sight into or set as my target "
" Really how ? " Circe asked " Give me a picture or reference then I can filter them out to search for them " " Sounds psychic but you can't move things with your mind ? " Minerva asked " No if you're a rock that can attack anyone mentally I'm like a big planet just have less ability to fight physically if you count out my skills "
" So you're strong because you're mentally psychic ? " Circe asked " Yes not like her but it is convenient at some point I contacted beings from another dimension and sent my alter egos to do whatever they want and one thing I found is that fire is an attack that messes molecular levels due to the energy it emits which would explain why Zero was able to fight Primis in that form "
" Wanna tell us the story of that discovery ? " Circe asked interested " Sure it probably will be easier to interpret " they all got comfortable and locked the doors " So when I found other dimensions my egos volunteered to get there "
" Your egos volunteered ? " " I'm not surprised myself they have different personalities that's why I called them all egos . But some of the dimensions or worlds I sent them are just a jungle fused with murderers . "
" Where were you , when you came in contact with the other dimensions ? " Circe asked " I was in my old world , hiding in a hospital to find a way to let them have their own bodies it was a bad idea but better than using a graveyard "
" And the first one ? " Circe asked and Minerva chose to keep watching them with her mouth shut " It was similar to what I knew but a little change " Nexus pointed at some papers showing references to images .
" The first one though had lots of medications each having different effects ... it was horrifying " " Like my hellish lab ? " Minerva asked " Yeah but you know yours was even terrifying ... but that dimension I first came in contact with wasn't the only one . "
" What was next ? " Nexus sighed looking at Circe and Minerva got quiet " After I contact the first world I invited patients to be part of my egos ... they helped me open a portal " " Patient sound familiar to you ? " Circe asked .
" No they're still with me never lost contact ... so after opening the portal I used that place as base cause you know they were all just meatbags carrying various medications so I stayed there became self sufficient and one of them dies "
" But I bought them back to life and they called me god or something and that vision got bigger when I searched for the people they knew had died , I bought them back too using the technology that those patients are now grateful for "
" Sounds like you're used to life and death is that why you suggested reincarnation ? " " It was the best solution plus much better when we don't take away their actual lives but rather were just us without you know a different person it would devastate our future parents when that happens "
" When they realize someone else took their kid ? " " Yeah even though I have alter egos I really don't like that scenario " Minerva thought about the scenario and shook her head " Good thing you added that to our wishlist " Nexus mentioned .
" Yeah I guess I did " Circe smiled and then Nexus got back to his story " Back to the story I found myself at the center of a giant mindscape and that's about it where my alter egos are now supporting it like a real world "
...
" Pull me up " Cael pulled Circe to the ground " We should leave " they returned back ot the house as quickly as possible " Where have you been ? " Tsune asked after pausing the TV " We were outside "
Nexus said blankly and Tsune stared at him " You're lying " they could've spit out the water they were drinking if there was any , but only stood " See " " I went to dad's room to get something " " You're not telling me everything "
Tsune looked at Nexus suspiciously and before he could target the rest of them " We just want to see dad's work he said he was going to buy some food " " Ah okay but where does he buy them ? " " I don't know "
Tsune looked at Nexus shrugged the topic " Fine I won't pry so don't spoil what happens next " he continued watching the series and Amara looked at the TV " Oh after this the " " LALALLALA " Tsune shouted as loud as his baby body can while covering his ears .
The nine went to their room to discuss matters on their own " So we decide to make a device that can allow us to know the consequences of our actions " Circe said " That would help us , when will you get it done ? " Minerva asked " I think I can finish it before night considering we have to go out today "
" We are ? " Zori asked " Yeah after dad finishes doing the groceries " Zero said " Why does dad even go buy groceries ? He can just order them from home or have someone get them for him " Nexus said " It does help us with a lot of things especially since he is gone " Iris said " Doesn't he take us out to play in the mall ? " Primis mentioned .
The nine suddenly released what Circe meant when she said they were going out " Maybe He will take us to an amusement park this time " Crow said " or a fair " Zori said " We'll just wait "
...
" We're here " after a little timeslot of probably pointless and wasteful chatter Lens took out all of the three-year-olds to a big alien fair with big rides , arcade and fair games and finally a lot of food stalls " Now don't wander too far okay ? " " Yessir ? " the boys yelled out of habit with Tsune as an exception and the girls nodded .
' I can't believe we're actually on a fair ' Minerva said , the nine kids have dreamt of a normal life and this fair can help them check a lot of things out of their bucket list " Dad can we get that " Tsune pointed at a pet weighting game where the odds were very low but the fee was cheap .
" Okay, here you go how about you look around and I'll give you the ticket ? " Tsune ran and they all looked around " How do you play ? " they have zero knowledge on how to play fair games " Ask the person standing inside the tent " " I won an alien cat " Tsune showed them the cat with dark fur and glowing fur .
" Can I keep it ? " ' Looks like time turned the descendants of the apex predator into a house pet ' " You can Tsune just don't let it eat you " Lens said describing one of the abilities a chijite has " It can eat people ? " " But I can make it photosynthetic if you give it to me it will be harmless "
" Dad , can I go there ? " Zori pointed at the ball throwing game where they throw a ball to drop all of the cups out of the table " Okay "
...
Meanwhile , some powerful figure sensed the nine's revival . Least should be expected of nine powerful beings who fought with great power defeating countless beings " NEXUS !! So your consciousness is in my body huh ? "
The consciousness of the universe yelled from its mouth as it breaks out of the galaxy Nexus pushed it into destroying countless lives as the black hole keeping the galaxy together destroys everything by sending the matter inside flying from the black hole .
" You had an advantage last time for staying outside my body but you won't get away when you are this close " the universe they are in is just a microverse Lens shrunk from the original size one of the plenty universe he took because he encountered them .
This one was easy to shrink because the consciousness of the universe was inside a galaxy so it or they couldn't resist . And for your information , the house they are living in is in a universe with no consciousness at least not yet .
" But if you are here I will claim back my body and kill you " it yelled searching for the center of the universe where it used to stay " Achi " Nexus sneezed and this is not a drill where you relate it to anime where someone talks about someone and the speak of the devil sneezes .
Because he can tell when someone is talking to him " Are you cold ? " Lens asked and gave Nexus his jacket " Thank you " ' someone is coming ' " Dad I feel sleepy " this is just an excuse " Okay rest easy " Lens took Nexus to a bench as he fell asleep opening his eyes at his massive mindscape .
' Now who is coming ' he recalls the moment when he sneezed " Not a hive mind , supercomputer , out of time or dimension , they're here and very near " near would mean someplace Nexus could reach , considering his ability to contact far away from the universe he is staying on , so his near might be very far .
" NEXUS !!! " " So it's you huh " Nexus found the universe " But why we're you talking about me " the universe angered at Nexus " HAVE YOU ALREADY FORGOTTEN WHAT YOU DID TO ME ? " " No clue just tell me I hate going through my memories it's a hassle "
" Then see to it that you escape before I destroy your physical body " it yelled at Nexus " Why don't you stay for now " lines grew out of thin air chaining the giant consciousness ' This is effective like you said sis ' Nexus covered the universe wrapping it like a bowling bowl on Christmas time .
" You're just a universe that can't even access its own mindscapes what makes you think you can beat me when you got my physical body ? " Nexus looked at the universe's memory and left it inside his mindscapes ' I should rest '
Tsune looks at his alien chijite cat " What does it eat ? " " It's a she and she eats whatever she can take hold of chijites are the descendants of a giant beast and still holds its threat removing that collar can cause it to go berserk until it is fed " Tsune looks at the collar and feels that the chijite might just slip through the collar as a normal cat would .
" Don't worry it can't hurt you the glowing light means she's full " Lens patted Nexus sleeping and wondering why he gave up such a good opportunity to catch some z's " Dad can we eat that ? " Zori asked carrying a water gun with him as a prize " What do you want to eat ? " " Zori pointed at a food stand selling small pies .
" Here but two more for us " Zori nodded and Minerva approached the bench ' Nexus why are you sleeping ? " ' I just fought the conscious of universe , it's sealed up so let me rest " ' You don't need that remember ? " ' Fine I want to test I don't like the fair here , I wanna play games at home "
" Minerva , do you need something ? " " I need sleep " Iris sat on the bench " Dad I don't like losing " the nine weren't allowed to do anything strange so Iris couldn't do anything to win " Whose water gun is this ? " " Zori's , he is getting pies over there " Lens pointed at the food stall .
Minerva enters Nexus's mindscape to see the gift-wrapped universe " Hope you don't mind me prying " Minerva took control of the universe's body and felt the vast universe and could see her own body ' Nexus get over here " Nexus grumbled in his mindscapes and in his body .
' What ? " Nexus looked at the body that Minerva was possessing and replied at a tired tone " Not my first rodeo " Minerva left the universe returning back to her physical body whilst still in Nexus's mindscapes " This place hasn't shrunk it's bigger than I last came "
" I tried recalling the time when we were unconscious but had no clue I didn't get anything after all we were all unconscious so we can't feel anything " " Should we ask Circe to study the mural " " Or should we research more on life and death especially the death part " Nexus suggested .
" Don't you bring people back to life ? " someone hit pause in their conversation " Now that you mentioned I did but bringing something back to life is different from coming back to life yourself " " Can't you take a look at us ? " " I'll try , don't get your expectations high though "
Lens smiled hearing their snores and eating with Zori and Tsune by his side ' This is nice ' Primis came back after not being able to win any games without any price with her .
" Are you okay ? " Primis slouched on the bench " I can't win any " Lens looked at a playground where supervisors were watching the kids inside .
" Tsune wanna go play over there ? " Tsune looks at the chijite and the collar " She won't eat them right ? " " Don't worry the collar has a code that even a supercomputer can't crack it would take a while year if it tries and years means having 365 days , each day is 24 hours and each hour has 3600 seconds "
Lens had to assure Tsune that his perception of time is the same as his " and if you still don't feel safe you can hold onto this " Lens gave Tsune a container you would see to carry small consumable tablets from a pharmacist .
" It has a good smell and the chijite would take one since each tablet is like an entire buffet of course it would not be advisable for someone else to swallow it so I mae the side effects to hibernate "
Tsune looks at the tiny tablets and was tempted to find the theory and methods used to create them " C-can you tell me how " " When we get home " Tsune looks at Primis and guessed that her quest is part of going home early .
" Then I'll get the prize for her you can drop them there " Tsune ran to avoid any discussions with some money he was hoping to use to get whatever items for research .
He found the nearest game and strikes the first price " Here " Primis grumbled but took it anyways and Tsune got her and sent her to Lens who was inside the playground drop station . Tsune turns to the crowd and ran to search for the rest ' He's a playful one ' Lens thought .
He found an alien whose children were swarming it ' That's a nice display of art ' the two-digit alien family was taking a photo with the sculptures around . Since some aliens have high fertility rates the entertainment industry has chosen to create imitiations of structures suited for picture taking .
It's like those flat cardboard with a picture of a beautiful dress where some match the drawing of the dress to pretend like they were wearing the dress themselves but with more number to accommodate others and a different idea instead of wearing a dress .
So like posing as a giant family playing on a big modern city kind of photo ' This is a nice replica of a planet ecosystem ' Lens admired the thought given to every detail of the replica ' Even the leaves look natural with all those small marks ' Lens looked at the tiny detail using the special contact lenses on his eyes scanning for the small details .
' This federation did have the technology to do this ' Lens told himself watching the two sleepers and Zori playing with the other aliens . He was using his water gun to have fun with another alien making sure he doesn't get wet not knowing that he had a change of clothes .
He was just dodging them with his past life experience ' This is way easier than on the battlefield ' " Why can't we hit you ? " the aliens complained and gathered around ' I can already tell your plan ' the aliens turned to fight Zori with a plan but he already ran away .
" How was the water playground ? " " It was fun " Lens smiled and looked at his dry body ' The kids must be really bad at aiming . He didn't mind and got Zori a container of water " Here drink up " Zori looked at the container and turned it around to jug the water down .
" Dad , can we g " Tsune looked at all the aliens around him and for some reason he wanted to learn about them " Dad do you know what aliens are they ? " " I don't know sometimes I am too busy so I carry contact lenses that can get me analytics " " Can I please have one ? "
Lens didn't see the harm since the contact lenses were so thin they were basically nonexistent to an eyeball " Okay but promise me you will not use it all the time , when we discovered it on our own it gives us an oppurtunity to learn " " I GOT IT SIR " Tsune saluted and Lens opened a case of the same size as a wedding ring .
Revealing two pairs of contact lenses " Now hold still " Lens held a tool and slowly placed the contact lens on Tsune's eyes " Now these contact lenses can be connected to a phone I'll let you borrow mine so return it and I'll get you your own phone " Tsune smiles at the phone and ran to the playground to fill his stomach for knowledge .
" You kids can play we're eating out tonight " they all wondered what kind of food they should eat " Now you all have a great time I'll be watching all of you from there " Lens pointed at the second floor so he can watch the rest of them play from there .
" But for now all of you should stay inside I'll go grab the backpack first " Lens left them all alone and the seven because Minerva and Nexus were asleep gathered to discuss something " I'm sure all of us have enemies " Zori said feeling the anger of the aliens who he had "bullied" .
" Yeah that sounds right " Iris said while Primis left " Sorry I don't have any enemies since most of them are just my creations' enemies instead " " If you don't help we might lose " Circe admitted " Fine , I'll listen "
" Zero don't you have people who hate you for destroying their business " Zero can create energy defying the laws of energy conservation and Circe received a reply .
" Yeah I did but I wouldn't think too much about it so I wouldn't know , anyways you don't really offend anyone since most of your scholars are always hungry for knowledge and wouldn't care if they lose their positions as long as they learned "
" I still don't disregard the fact that there are those hungry for power , money and opportunity they can gain from my academy " Circe answered " I have a lot thanks to being a military-centered base . I only made sure my enemies are fully absorbed into my base so I don't have spies and showed good benefits to avoid traitors "
They all turned to Cael and Iris " Don't look at me I live very far where it's hard to even enter , ever heard of the space expansion barrier that keeps my base far from yours ? It's probably even further now " Cael said " I don't usually have enemies " Iris replies " Crow ? " Circe looked at him .
" I do meet with people who accidentally entered the blind but I sent them away without revealing my presence " Crow said " It's not like you have any if you live that far " Circe said and then looked at the two sleeping siblings " Let's ask them later " " Dad is at the entrance " Iris informed everyone and they separated to join the fun .
" What were you talking about ? " Tsune looks at Zero with dead curious eyes ' I forgot we have another sibling ' " What did you forget " ' Dang it he makes me feel like looking at Circe and Minerva . But I can't be a bad kid ' " A surprise " " Not for me "
' ARGH !!! ' Zero kept his expression together so he doesn't get exposed by Tsune " But if it's a surprise it will be bad if I know " ' Good keep that up ' suddenly Tsune's eyes darkened " But if it's a prank know that I will get back at you ! " Zero looked at the dead eyes and light took over the eyes as Tsune smiles .
" Goodbye brother " Tsune runs away using the contact lenses to gather the information using visuals leaving Zero surprised ' No I can't do something to him it will be bad for my records ' Zero looked at Lens " Dad can I get that ? " Lens looks at a long line " What do you want to get ? " " Anything big " Lens looks at the menu and walks to the line .
Lens lined up and Zero sat on the bench as an adult alien made of solid blocks sat beside him " I didn't think I would find the biggest supplier of energy here " Zero looked confused at the blocks " But why are you in a small body like that ? " " I'm not small " Zero complained .
" Aha of course you would be angry " Zero ran to Lens and pointed at the blocks " Dad that guy is a kidnapper " Lens looked at the blocks and called " Hello officer there is a kidnapper here " " Wait you don't know what that child is " " Oh I know you are one of those scum who uses devices to detect what genetic value someone has "
" Seize the criminal !!! " the blocks were arrested by the officers " You are coming with us offender of the law " " Are you okay Zero ? " Lens worriedly asked Zero " Yes , I'm okay " Zero hugged Lens and he hugged back Zero tightly " Oh thank goodness " Lens patted Zero and carried him .
" So what was it that you wanted ? " Zero looked at the menu " This one " Lens left the line with a stand with a number written " Come here " Lens seated Zero beside him " Are you really okay " even if Lens knew that his kids have been fighting in the worst environment they are still his kids and probabl never experienced this kind of situation .
" Yes , I'm okay " Lens sighed with relief and patted Zero on the head " Then be sure you are not leaving any leftovers on the plate to show me that you are okay " " Your order " A big plate was presented and then Zero looked at it " But it was smaller ? " " You won't be leaving leftovers right ? "
Zero stared at the big dish with disbelief and betrayal and Lens laughed " Kidding I'll call them to come here to eat with us " they all gathered to look at the giant plate ' Why is it big ? " Minerva asked ' In my defense , it looked much smaller in the picture " " It tastes good " Tsune held a spoon eating the desert .
" It's supposed to be a chijite's meal " Tsune looks at his chijite sitting on his lap and lifted it to the table " We can give her some " " Okay it is supposed to be for a chijite in the first place " Lens said and they all are the plate but the chijite Tsune has ate more than all of them in total .
...
Back in the past , a person walked inside the temple and wished " Give me the end of the nine " they gave up their power enough to activate their wish but to no avail " It's no use ... I expected much " they summoned a spaced blade and cut through a space only known to themself as they walked inside it to a much simpler form .
" I may not be able to wish for your end so I will plot it " they collected networks together to release the information of "the nine will return" " It wouldn't matter when you discover it since you will be too busy keeping check of your new life " they said as the news reached countless eyes and ears .
For all of the enemies of the nine to conquer many worlds in hopes that they will be able to destroy the life of the nine kids of Lens in the future . Many made deals with each other , forces gathering either through an alliance or a poison pot as they all fought to personally see the end of the nine .
And now that they reached the date all of the enemies have prepared themselves without the understanding of the nine kids as they enjoyed their current life targeting a seemingly nonexistent threat .
" Where are they ? " the enemies have been searching the worlds they have found but couldn't find a single trace of them " You liar we waited for so many centuries , millennia but where are they ? "
To explain they couldn't find them because they haven't conquered the post-apocalyptic land where the environment was too harsh for them to gain benefits " Then they must be at the wastelands " the wastelands have very little investment values .
It was scarce , especially there so setting a base in these locations was not called a good investment this they have only conquered places with good conditions since they knew that the nine wished for a relaxing life a place like the wastelands was not someplace for a relaxing life .
" How else but this " they had different conclusions some searched for the other's domains while the rest searched for the wastelands and they scooped around looking for a great number of lives living in healthy conditions .
But the sad part was that the mural had taken account of others' involvement the nine wished for a "nice life" . So if they tried to search for the nine and took control of their potential families those families are no longer on the list for their "nice life" .
And that leaves the wastelands where Lens settled in creating his base gathering all sorts of treasure and wishing to adopt a big family . He even prepared so many things when he welcomed his first kid , stuffing her stomach and eating her ( Just kiddings )
He wouldn't do that to Amara even though you already saw Amara stuffed her stomach , but it might turn into a bad habit and Lens is always on the lookout for bad habits making sure that his kids won't do something like it .
Back to the mural Lens was the only option since he was very rich and capable of giving a nice life . So the mural sent them in his path to grant their wishes plus the mural needed a way to fully accomplish their wishes and Lens having an interest in collecting ancient engravings as he was interested in obtaining the mural so the mural could help them remember again .
With all that conditions it may be hard for their enemies to find all of them if there was only one potential candidate .
...
" Table for Illus " " This way sir " the family was led to a room Lens reserved when making the family trip " Dad what about big sis ? " Iris asked since Amara was very far currently at home " She's hibernating at home she will wake up at midnight I'll be sure to give her something to eat "
" Like a bear ? " Primis asked " Maybe " Lens said " But you should ask her instead " an employee came to take their orders " Are you sure you don't want dessert ? " the ten didn't want to eat anything sweet anymore after eating so much sweet from the playground .
They all sat not knowing what to do and fiddling with the menu while Tsune was already connected to the WiFi " What are you doing ? " Cael looked at Lens's phone in Tsune's hand " Getting a game ? " " Oh if you wanna play a game then you should get it from here " Lens sent the screen to an app where offline games were left in .
" Here you can play games in here but do it in moderation " Lens said as Tsune was amazed and even the rest were also amazed too ' How is a tool for war turned into a tool for entertainment Minerva questioned since the technology she sees have been anything but joyful .
They were so marveled at the game and Tsune thought they were babies who don't know that games were inside phones . He found one game and played it , the game was simple all he has to do was to press the screen like all other games would instruct allowing the animation to captivate young minds .
Lens was fearful of addiction whether it is the poisonous or the good one " This is no fun " Tsune complained " I can't even say what I want to say " he didn't like the kind of game that forces you with two options to choose from so he quit instantly as the food arrived .
" Okay no more playtime , time to eat . " the family finished the meal and left with all of the ten kids sleeping in the van as Lens smiles returning home parking the car right outside the door and carrying them all one by one to their beds .
' Looks like I'm changing the sheets tomorrow " Lens is a clean freak and doesn't like his kids bringing dirt from outside . It might be bad but what would be bad is if some strange organism clings to one of their bodies and turning this story into a horror story .
So Len's bus is equipped with a sanitary assassin leaving no scent or traces to be scene if a detective were to arrive " Sleep tight bed bugs " Lens smiled and walked down to see Amara " Amara ? " " Mmh ? " She got out of her hiding looking at Lens " What time is it ? "
" Night time you should go back to sleep " " NO " Amara yelled " I use the house rules to have waking hours at night for my four-hour nap " Lens looked at the time to be nine o'clock " Fine get to bed before one " Amara smiles and goes to her room while Lens sighed .
He lay on the couch and opened his laptop to check any news for any superpower in his vast territory " Nothing at all " he sighed in relief and checked if his computer has any bugs he isn't aware of .
" No changes compared to the back up " he unplugged the computer to the backup file whilst saving his computer's current files " Dad " Amara whispered from the stairs " What is it ? " Amara pointed at a file of the couch potato picture " Can I have a file "
Lens taught his family well to not take any minor embarrassments as something to hide so they don't get blackmailed so easily " I'll make one for you " he laughed and heard Amara yawn ' She must've done a lot of study for herself '
Lens felt contented with his current life and now that there's a new family member and his kids regained their past life and are doing their best to be open up to their dad ' Though I wonder if they are sleeping alright ? '
...
Nexus looked at his mindscapes for a brief moment to see plenty of people glaring at him whilst knowing that they don't know about his location or condition " You're not the only one " " Sting " Nexus turned to one of his alter egos .
" Hello Nexus , I want to warn you bout the info I couldn't get to you " " What is it ? " " Someone is targeting the nine and I don't know who but I figured it might be the case since someone out their leaked info of the nine returning , where you will return and why "
" Looks like I have something to discuss this morning " Nexus said " I'll be leaving you better keep that life together I don't wanna get into your personal trouble "
" That would be the least of everyone's issues " Nexus replied as Sting fades from his mindscapes . Nexus felt his consciousness fading surrendering to his body's need for sleep .
