21 A Suprise

Vex had been watching Gilgamesh the entire time as he had little to do while on this lower world.

The first reports from the various research stations had rolled in and they found an ecology dissimilar from the majority of habitable planets.

Lieutenant Feighn had researched the oceans. He had conducted commonality tests which helped categorize planets in comparison to the Parthian homeworld. These tests showed that the planet was almost identical to the environment that Parthians had come from in the first universe.

Lieutenant Avalat had come up with similar results for the surface species except for dragons. They seemed to be alien beings that had come here as an invasive species because when some were caught scanned and dissected they were found to have foreign genetics.

As Lt. Feighn and Angel compared their research they concluded that the biological diversity of this planet was astounding and the potential of the human race was near limitless similar to how Parthians had been before they had taken the next step to become god-like beings.

Lieutenant Socabe's moon base had been completed. His base included a small dimensional scaffold to hold supplies and to do dangerous experiments on subjects.

'The scaffold around the main planet should take another interstellar year to complete considering they were planning to make it a thousand times larger than the planet itself,' Vex thought as looked at the viewing screen showing Gilgamesh.

Vex began to worry. Something had changed in him and he wondered why he helped Gilgamesh. He used to be apathetic to the races he found. He was beginning to grow attached to this race. His expression soured when he came to this conclusion.

It had to be understood that while Parthians were prideful and sometimes uncaring of other races it was largely because they were taught they were lower rung on the evolutionary ladder. All non-Parthians were considered a resource for their great and very divided empire.

The humans were different. They looked just like them and he began to admire their ability to overcome difficulties. With an outsider view, he compared their struggles with the struggle of his own race at the beginning of their development.

He hadn't been there of course when his race had been a mortal one, in fact, he had not even come from the first universe to the second one. He was born in this universe and it was all he had ever known but Vex was very old, possibly older than any nonParthian sentient existence out there and that wasn't boasting. He was born not long after the universe had settled and planets began to form.

Vex had seen the rise and fall of civilizations and he had seen more death than any being ever should. His big solace was that he wasn't alone. His mother and father still were still alive.

As Vex was in pensive thoughts, he was surprised by events he witnessed in his viewer. He saw Gilgamesh standing before the blonde boy and two dead bodies. For a picosecond, he saw primordial energy mix with Gilgamesh's created powers.

Vex began to breath more deeply to calm himself 'That should be impossible. Primordial energy has always been too chaotic for even Parthians to harness. Primordial energy or chaos energy was the feeding off of destructive energies of the universe.'

Parthians that had tried to harness it had gone on mad killing sprees before dying. Because of the damage, it would do to the created energy source Parthians banned its use. Powerful Nobels or Royals going insane could disrupt whole galaxies and lead to the fall of countless civilizations with just one afflicted aristocrat.

"Interesting," Vex said in an amused tone as his face began showing a slight smile before disappearing from his throne room leaving his pocket dimension. He arrived on Planet Vex or as Vex had grown to call it Earth.
