Lord Shadow

Chapter 1171: Myriad paths (1)

Azief raise his hand and said

‘From what I understand, there is not that many weaponry technologies in this lab in the first place right?’

Qarliya look at him with a sulking expression. It appears she likes talking but Azief had just interrupted her from gossiping about the matters of the universe

then she just shakes her head and nodded

Then she said

‘Most of the weapon technology is not stored in this lab and it is not replicated in this lab’

She then added

‘In this Omniverse, the Orvanians are not the only race that could travel through time, space and dimension freely. While there is not many that could, there is a few that can. There is the Time Lords. The mechanical civilization of Dale- ‘then she stopped a bit

‘That civilization is a bit troublesome and the nemesis of the Time Lords. It is better not to entangle with them’

She said like she had remembered something about it and waves her hand. Azief had heard once that the Time Lords also have its enemies.

Well, Time Lords is arrogant, at least that is the estimation of Will when he describes the Time Lords.

It is no wonder that they have so many enemies.

Speedsters is one of them.

As for the other it is a machinery civilization. Even Will did not know that much about it as his teacher rarely said anything about this other nemesis of the Time Lords

This other nemesis civilization of the Time Lords was banished into a certain looping timeline by the Orvanians and the Time Lords but every once in a while, they would be able to get out of this loop and the battle between the Time Lords and this nemesis civilization would once again begin.

From what little information that Azief had about this civilization was that they are cybernetic organism.

They have flesh and they have machinery or to be more exact they are the hybrid of the two.

This people of this civilization seems to have no individual personality. Ostensibly no emotions other than hatred and anger.

They have a strict adherence to command structure in which they obeyed the command of their superiors.

Other than that, Azief don’t know much about this nemesis civilization of the Time Lords, neither does he cares.

Time Lords is far away from Earth and their task and mission will not cause them to clash with him or Earth so there is no reason to care so much ab out a civilization that would probably never interact with Earth

Qarliya is still enthusiastically speaking

‘Even in other worlds where Orvanians establishes the same kind of lab like this, most of the technology about weapons would not be stored in it. There are always some civilizations in the Omniverse that wanted to steal Orvanians tech’

She smiles like she was proud and then continue by saying

‘Trying to find Orvan without the right coordinate and dimensional frequency would only lead to dead end. However, for the labs that Orvanians had set up all over the Omniverse, at least the defense of these places would not be so formidable like the Orvan planet’

‘Then you mean to say that most technology on weapon is stored in Orvan?’

She nodded

‘Then why is there technology about weapons here? And why did you let Katarina see it and uses it? Even though I admit that some of the weapons that she was allowed to use is inferior to the weapons attached the Destroyer class spaceship of Orvanians that Katarina describe to me, it is still a weapon that is capable of great destruction’

Qarliya and him since the time he had arrived in this lab is still standing on the same place.

They were talking and engrossed in it. Qarliya then realizes that this human had more question than she thought

Compared to Katarina, this human seems to be able to induce him to talk. Qarliya might have the mentality of a child but this does not mean that she is an idiot.

She did speak about a lot of things that is happening in the Omniverse.

But these things even if it is known by this human, it would not change anything since the level that one has to achieve to participate in those big matters is not something that this human could achieve right now

And she likes talking.

This is not some program that is put onto her mind.

One of the high achievement of artificial technology of the Orvanian is that the artificial intelligence that is created by the House of Qar is basically a new and true life.

The only thing that they lack is True Soul.

They have False Soul but they do not have True Soul.

Other than that, they are truly a life of their own.

To make them life and become truly real in all sense of emotions and personality, they have all the same weakness that any other being in the Universe have.

They are not a perfect being. But because they are not perfect, they could strive to be. The Orvanians have a very weird concept of Perfection.

‘Let us talk while walking toward the lab’ she said.

She at first thought to stop talking but thinking about it again, the things she let out is not some big secrets so she decided to continue talking

Azief nodded.

Qarliya floated beside him as he walks forward. The light opens up and he could see a straight path toward a corridor

The corridor itself give the feeling of modernity. He walks inside the corridor and could see a straight and long narrow hallway. On each side is door that looks more like a hatch

It reminded him the doors and rooms in a Battlestar. Well, it is not surprising considering that the Lab is not exactly something natural in this world

It is a spaceship that have nano adaptive ability among others technology that it has to adapt to any terrains and blended in perfectly with the surrounding and the world.

The Lab is actually a large titanic spaceship.

The fact that it is under a mountain and that it melded perfectly with the background shows that the spaceship had melded with the soils, the minerals and even the Laws of the world

It could avoid detection from technology based devices and even mystical and magical methods of divining.

In all probability this Lab probably could disengage from the area and fly back out of this planet and returns to Orvan.

As they walked Qarliya resume their last conversation

‘As I said before, there is always some civilizations that wanted to steal Orvanians tech. And because of that we rarely ever did what we did right now. Of course, the fact that this Seresian world is in another dimension and a pocket of its own dimension had helped cover up the existence of this lab for a while. But since the moment that the Orvanian fleet had bring back this planet to the main Universe, some civilization had been paying attention’

‘It is because of special circumstances that the higher ups had allowed some weaponry technology to be released in this lab’

‘Special circumstances?’

Qarliya sighed a bit. Azief continues walking.

‘You might have heard about it from Katarina. Orvan is seeking allies.

Azief eyes narrowed

‘Then Earth….’

‘The Five Seats of Orvan had approve the thoughts of the commanding general. We wanted to establish alliances and cooperative relationship’

Then smiling bitterly, she said

‘Earth….at this moment is not yet qualified to be ally with Orvan. It is not a way to condescend Earth but it is one of the way we have to use to protect a weaker star system’ Azief nodded

Feeling a bit guilty Qarliya then said

‘It has been a long time since Orvan had proposed an alliance to the civilization in the Omniverse. If an alliance is struck between Orvan and Earth, then it would open up Earth to other worlds. Knowing what happens the last time an otherworldly civilization tries to make contact with Earth, I believe that you are not too eager to join the galactic community’

Azief nodded.

From the very beginning he did not feel insulted at all. He believes that Earth need more time to prepare.

Knowing Orvan, they must have powerful beings presiding their affairs.

He also knows that if he were to ally himself with Orvan, it also means taking on the enemies of Orvan. Earth did not yet have such capability

It is better for Earth not to get involved in galactic politic right now. Earth had just begins transitioning to a Type 1 civilization.

And Azief did not have confidence to fight other worlds in their own world. If they come to Earth, at least Azief could rely on the Heavenly Will and the All Source to repress the opponent.

But if he went to other worlds to fight, other than him, how many other people in the world could truly make difference in the battle.
