Before I could grasp the situation, my vision blurred again.


    In the next instant, my perspective underwent another change.


    Now, I found myself within an office, its metal-white walls reminiscent of those sci-fi movies in space.


    Futuristic elements dotted the office, with sleek and angr design giving an impression of cutting-edge technology. Arge window framed a captivating view of a distant, making it obvious that I was really in space.


    Without a hint of surprise, I calmly acknowledged, ''This is Neptune.''


    The familiarity was striking, aligning with the visuals I had previously encountered on the inte, the real and the virtual merging seamlessly, with a staggering 90% resemnce.


    However ,Any normal emotional reaction, which might have arisen after the discovery of living beings or aliens in space, remained absent to me.


    Instead, this information seamlessly integrated into my mentalndscape, as if it were just another piece of data woven into the fabric of my consciousness. Emotions, now seemingly distant, allowed me to process the revtion with a detached sense of understanding.


    Dr. Zen, or the version of me within this memory, began to inspect his tablets in a manner that felt natural. Through the screen, I could see his face, mirroring some of themon features of the woman from the earlier scene.


    Notably, his ears were also pointed, and his eyes seemed to hold the same artificial contact lens that transmit image directly into the eye.


    "Code X is still not perfect," he sighed, his mental voice audible to me.


    Engrossed in his work, he began checking something on his tablet—a data unlike anything I had encountered before. Despite my mind operating at the level of aputer, the intricacies of this unfamiliar data escaped my instant analysis, proving howplex it was.


    After a few moments, he gently ced his tablet on the desk.


    "ess Memory," hemanded.


    Suddenly, a virtual image materialized within his field of vision.


    In it, a beautiful woman with blue hair appeared, apanied by a young girl.


    Their attire was unique, featuring a white silk-like fabricposed of something akin to silicone but with a metallic sheen to it.


    The backdrop was equally distinctive, with towering structures that defied the familiar shapes of buildings found on Earth.


    Additionally, my gaze caught sight of floating inds in the distance, adding an extrayer of surrealism to the scene. The entire setting seemed to exist in a realm beyond the conventions of my known world.


    "Zen, did you enjoy your vacation?" the woman inquired, her pace slow as she approached, cradling the little girl in her arms.


    "Yes," he replied with a smile.


    In that moment, he paused the image, capturing the exact frame when the woman smiled in response to his words.


    He continued to gaze at the image, until his vision blurred once again, seamlessly transporting me to another scene.


    ***


    "They''re attacking us !"


    "Dr. Zen, invaders are attacking us! You need to escape!" The woman with purple hair hurriedly rushed into the room.


    This time, she was d in a tight suitbat armor,plete with a green visor.


    Another thing that caught my attention was a peculiar apparatus at the back of the armor, seemingly linked to her visor, hinting at some kind of chemical connection.


    "No, I need to retrieve Code X first. It''s the future of our race!" he responded, donning hisbat suit in preparation for the impending conflict.


    The woman with purple hair nodded in response.


    Checking her weapon, it appeared to be some kind of futuristic and robust gun. Rather than a conventional barrel, there was a ss-like structure emitting a vibrant red light at the tip.


    "Let''s go," she dered, and both of us sprinted toward the lobby. The spaceship trembled, signaling an ongoing attack.


    "How many ships were destroyed ?"he asked in a hurried voice.


    "Thest time I checked, almost 50bat ship, 10 medium-sized and 2rge-sized spaceships were destroyed. We underestimated them, Dr. Zen. These beings don''t rely on any technology. They can control Origin Energy without the need for any medium," she exined, shedding light on the dire situation right now.


    "That''s impossible ! Origin Energy is the Universe itself ! No beings should be able to control it ?" he eximed .


    But, as if to challenge his assumptions, he witnessed something mind blowing through the spaceship window.


    A colossal entity made of pure blue energy, effortlessly hold a small fighter type space ship with its hand, contorting it as if it were a mere toy.


    The shocking scene didn''t end there; more and more of these beings materialized, joining the fray and destroying everything on their path.


    Observing the battle, it became evident that the spaceships were powerful, equipped with shields,sers, and even sma bombs.


    However, despite their best efforts, the sheer force of the enemy proved overwhelming, rendering the advanced technology insufficient to handle the one sided massacre .


    I analyzed that my chances of winning against even one of them were non-existent.


    "We need to retrieve Code X faster, or it will be toote," he dered with a deep sigh.


    The duo swiftly turned around, moving with urgency, fully aware that they could be the next target.


    As they traversed the corridors, their path intersected with other space crew donned inbat suits, all preparing for the impending battle.


    Finally, they reached the end of the hallway, where a pristine mechanical door stood.


    Using their key cards, the door slid open, revealing something I hadn''t anticipated seeing in this ce; Two human beings with opposite gender were currently confined in a ss apparatus .


    ''I thought the Zillions created the humans? ,'' I murmured to myself. The sight before me prompted a reevaluation of the narrative Dr. Hong had shared about the origins of humanity.


    "Hurry up, download the Syst..." hemanded, but before he could finish his words, the memory abruptly cut off.

    "What the hell was that!" I cursed aloud, and as my vision returned, I saw people with shopping bags staring at me with a confused look.


    "Oppa, why did you just jump out like that?" Rei Mei''s voice jolted me back to reality from my still groggy state of mind.
