The Situation in the Multiverse 2

(A / N: If you could choose, would you choose which power? Life, Death, Time or Space?)

(I hope all this about the multiverse, universe etc is more clear to you now!)

.

''Wait, what do you mean by that?! Is this really possible?!'' Temporis expressionless face for the first time in a long time changed subtly, showing a slightly horrified and worried expression.

Yuki was getting more and more confused by what was going on. Gods? Multiverse? Monsters? Empty Soul? All of this was extremely confusing to her, and this all happened in less than a day for her.

No longer able to take this confused situation, Yuki gathered some courage and looked at Unum, '' U-Unum-sama? Could I... like, get out of here? I know I can't go back, but can I stay somewhere else? Preferably a place where I don't overhear this conversation, I think I shouldn't be listening to this conversation in the first place....''

''Amazingly, I agree with the mortal girl, Dad. In addition to being a mortal, she's an anomaly, what if she's trying to gather information while playing innocent?'' Temporis said while giving Yuki an accusing look.

Angry, Yuki pointed a finger at Temporis and yelled, ''Hey! None of this is my fault! I just want to go home!''

Unum looked back at the human girl who spoke to him and upon hearing her, he showed a bitter and guilty expression, '' I'm sorry again, Yuki-chan but...I want you to hear this, as I want to make a request to you at the end of this conversation. And don't worry, I see you're confused, but I'll try to explain it in a way that you and Temporis can understand the situation.''

''And Temp-chan, don't be so suspicious, if I've let her hear it so far, it's for a reason.''

Temporis just looked away and clicked her tongue, ''Tsk.''

Yuki really don't want to be a part of this anymore, but seeing the sad and bitter face of the being that was supposed to be the almighty God, Yuki was in conflict. But thinking about it a bit, Yuki realized that she doesn't have the power to do anything about the situation, just listening won't do any harm. Besides, this conversation might answer some of the questions she has.

Yuki took a deep breath and decided, ''Alright, I'll listen...''

Unum's bitter look was replaced by his bright smile again, ''Great! Now, let's have a class!''

*Clap* *Clap*

The bubble around Yuki that imprisoned her is gone, and In an instant, Yuki and Temporis found themselves sitting on chairs with a notebook open in front of them, a blackboard appeared behind Unum and hequickly began doodling on the board.

Unum's previous surfer style changed to a geek teacher style, with a white coat, big prescription glasses, and a Star Wars shirt.

''Ehem*, so class, let's start our lecture!''

''Is this really necessary...?'' Temporis sighed at the sight of her father's childishness. However, she would hate to openly admit it, but this childish side of her father is one of his qualities.

Unum ignored Temporis and looked at Yuki, ''First, I'll explain what the Multiverse is to Yuki-chan, and then we'll go to the main topic! Pay close attention Yuki-chan, because this is test material!''

Yuki nodded in agreement and stared at the blackboard and Unum.

Seeing Yuki concentrated, Unum continued, ''The humans on your planet are currently relatively well-developed in technology, and that being said, they are currently able to see the limit of your universe! 'But Unum-sensei, what is the limit of the universe?' Calm down girl, I'll explain!''

''First, let's go by parts. You live on a planet, which is in a solar system, and your solar system exists within an interstellar belt of other solar systems! And these billions of solar systems are within a galaxy, and next to your galaxy, there are billions of other galaxies! So far so good, right?''

Yuki nodded, while Temporis just ignored Unum.

''Now comes the interesting part! You know, your race thinks the universe is unlimited, but that's wrong! A universe expands very slowly, but it has a limit! And outside the boundary of your universe, there are tens of thousands of other universes.''

''I'll give you a simple example. Let's suppose you have hundreds of glow-in-the-dark marbles in your hands, and then you throw them on the floor of a house without light. The marbles will glow next to each other, all over the floor. In this case, each marble represents a different universe, and all these marbles are inside the house, and with that, we call the house, which holds all these marbles, the Multiverse.''

''And everything in the multiverse was created by me and my daughters....''

Yuki paid a lot of attention to Unum, and was able to easily understand what he was saying. Unum didn't detail much, but it was easy to understand. And she can't say she isn't finding it interesting to hear about this. Before, she had great respect for Unum and Temporis, but now, upon discovering how much bigger everything is than she imagined, Yuki's respect for these beings in front of her who keep the balance of everything that exists has increased dramatically.

''And now, the most important part. Remember I said that universes are little marbles, that are inside a house? You can say that my daughters and I own the house. But no matter how big the house is, it also has a limit''

Yuki was amazed to hear about this. She used to think that her universe was infinite, but is actually just another universe among hundreds! And even the multiverse, which houses these universes, is not infinite either!

Temporis, who previously just ignored the lecture because she already knew all about this, now started to pay attention, because now her father was going to talk about what she wanted to know.

''Yes, it's exacly what you've heard, the Multiverse is the home of hundreds of universes, but it has a limit. To mortal races, the universes or the multiverse itself may seem infinite, but my daughters and I have a different concept of infinite. Because we know our 'house'.''

''Now is the time to ask yourself, if we live inside a 'house', what is outside of it?''

Yuki quickly raised her hand to try to answer the question, '' Yes, Yuki-chan?''

''Other Multiverses?''

''It's a good theory, Yuki-chan! It's possible, but I can't say for sure. After all, I never met another being like me as I wandered through the void alone, much less another 'multiverse'. But I like to call what is outside the Multiverse, the Omniverse!''

Now it was Temporis's turn to raise her hand. Normally she wouldn't play along, but as she was curious she went with the flow, '' I remember when we were born, and how you said you never met another being like you, and that maybe you're the only one. But if that's really true... then what's trying to get in here?''

''Glad you asked, Temp-chan! This is the million dollar question! And the answer is...As I said earlier, I don't know!''

The playful atmosphere around Unum changed, by bringing up this subject, Unum became completely serious, ''As I've never met another being like me before, or anything like the multiverse I created, I don't know what's trying to get into here. But one thing I'm sure, whatever it is, it's not friendly at all.''

Yuki and Temporis were silent thinking about what Unum just said.

'I see, the situation is much more critical than I thought. I just wanted something interesting to happen, but this is too much....' Temporis thought.

'Well, that's...shocking to say the least, but what does it all have to do with me?' Yuki thought.

''So what's your main body doing right now, dad?''

''Well main body is currently quite busy because... Oh, I almost forgot that Yuki-chan doesn't know I'm a clone. Well, as Temp-chan just said, I'm just a clone, not the main body, but our existences and minds are connected in real time. And to answer you, Temp-chan, papa's real body is now busy trying to fix a crack in our 'house'.''

'' '' A crack?/ A crack?'' ''

''Precisely! Something has made a crack at the edge of the multiverse, and while I'm focusing to close it, something is forcing it to widen.''

''And that's where the anomalyes situation and Yuki-chan situation comes in!''

''Sorry, but I still don't understand, what does this have to do with me...?''

Temporis reasoned quickly, and when she came to a conclusion, her eyes widened a little, '' If I'm not wrong, through this crack....something has already entered the multiverse, and that's why these anomalies suddenly appeared, right?''

''Pin Pon! You're right! Something has already entered the Multiverse, something has gone through the crack without me noticing....until now!''

''Of course, more than one of them went through the crack. As far as I can tell, these creatures that have gone through the crack feed on my energy, that is, the energy of creation. And these creatures seem to be creatures that evolve by consuming. The more they consume, the easier it is to discover their location. And unfortunately, at first, I couldn't detect them.''

''And unfortunately for you, Yuki-chan, it looks like one of these creatures targeted you. Maybe you have something special, or was it just a coincidence. But the amazing thing about you, Yuki-chan, is that after that creature absorbed your existence, which makes up the power of creation, not only did you somehow survive, but the creature that should have consumed you disappeared as well.''

Yuki already knew that she shouldn't exist anymore because Temporis had already told her that, but something consuming her existence is new to her, ''So basically, a creature completely unknown to you or anyone, invaded the Multiverse through a crack, and by coincidence, it came to my house, and consumed my existence?''

''Yes, that's exactly what I said!''

Yuki went into a deep thinking state, trying to remember when and how she was consumed, as she doesn't remember any of this happening, 'But if my existence was consumed...what was that creature that was behind me when Tic saved me? Clearly he didn't even approach me, didn't touch me and couldn't even attack me, and this makes me think that before the attack of the monster, my existence had already been consumed, but if that's the case, then what did that creature meant by Give it Back to Me?'

''Well, no more explaining, we're running out of time, literally.''

*Clap* *Clap*

Unum, as he clapped his hands again, the chairs and blackboard were gone. Yuki and Temporis returned to their previous positions and Unum went back to his surfer style.

''Temp-chan, now that you know how critical the situation is, I came here to give you a mission, which I've also given to your other sisters, except for Locus, because if I give her a mission, the situation would get even more chaotic.''

Temporis lowered her head slightly, ''I understand, Dad. I will fulfill any missions you give me without fail.''

''Umu! As expected from my most responsible daughter, you always make me proud. Your mission is no different from what you already do, these creatures are spreading rapidly through the universes present in the multiverse, and as said before, they are consuming everything that exists, causing extreme damage not only in the timeline, but also in the cycle of life and death.''

Like a commander giving orders to a soldier, Unum exclaimed, ''Your mission is to go to these universes and eliminate any anomalies!''

''As you order, father.''

''Oh, also, take Yuki-chan with you!''

''As you or-''

''...''

''...''

'' '' Eh?/Eh?'' ''
