CHAPTER 96: Crossroads of Infinity
A few months later, the world literally waited with bated breath.
This revelation, which explodes people’s perception of reality, is followed by a period of global silence. Governments convened in crisis meetings, physicists scrambled to explain the physics of quantum bifurcation, and billions of other folks were left to ponder the fact that there were actually multiple universes.
However, my team and I were running the show and couldn’t afford to sit down and ponder over things. They had then turned into officials of the enhanced earth population, arranging to work towards the stabilization of the synthesis and to stop other rips in the continuum fabric.
“Any breakthrough in cracking that code?” I inquired. My awareness was located in their make-shift control room but also extended across the entire planet.
I could tell that Alessandro was frustrated as the flickers of data that a human gains when hurt spread across his body. “Well, they didn’t find words on paper or anything like that. The language that is used is quite peculiar it is not only very rich, it is almost fluid. The sense of it in the terms that was said is really strange, it is absolutely clear that the text is not only very rich and vast, it is rather fluid. ”
“Quantum linguistics,” Zoe said, and her mind wandered to various scientific groups across the globe to which she was connected. “The consequences are mind-blowing. An existence in two states at once and using the same language to tell two different stories …”
“That is quite interesting,” Chase interrupted. He was a soldier and in his company there was little room for politeness in discussion, “but it does not tell us whether that ‘invitation’ is hostile or not. ”
I understood his frustration. Each one of the enhanced humans on earth had watched that message unfolding across the sky of the other planet.
“COME HOME, CHILDREN OF THE SINGULARITY. YOUR TRUE EVOLUTION AWAITS. ”
But, what they had realized was what the message contained? And more to the point, who-or what, for that matter-had dropped it? “What about the dimensional tears?”, she switched the focus to Morris. “Have we dealt with the matters in a way that we would shore up their situations?
The old man merely heaved a sigh, thus the tiredness that masked the young glow that came with his new state of power. “For the most part, we have been able to seal most of the minor cracks. That’s not true of the major ones, they are not only holes in reality, but… they are… developing. Looking at him, she felt Goosebumps running on her spine. She amplified her focus and contacted the sensors and empowered personnel overseeing the biggest tear that was located where the Central Park of New York City used to be.
What she was able to take in left her breathless. It has been extended after today. It covered a few city blocks far and wide. But it was not simply a look into another world anymore. It had become difficult to distinguish between the two worlds, as the boundaries between them had grown more or less indistinct. Trees connected to Central Park with counter-realistic formations of crystal solidification from the other part. The rules of physics seemed to be at war, gravity and light were proving unpredictable in the overlapping regions.
And throughout it all a mournful song floated to her ears, a song of structure beyond her enhanced abilities to understand, let alone to create, and yet she felt in her core that the song was calling to her.
“My God,” she murmured and coughing, came back to her and was sitting on the chair. “It’s not just growing, It’s… merging. ”
All of these implications turned to them at once. This was not only the first contact with another universe. It was the start of the clash between what only a few years earlier had been firmly convinced of its desire to be different and the world it had tried so hard to turn its back on.
“We need more information,” Zoe repeated herself, wrestling with the spirit of a scientist and the right judgment. “If we were able to launch a probe, take a look beyond the wall, get data and that …”
“Too risky,” Chase countered. “Well, for all we know, that is what they have been waiting for, this could bring about an all-out invasion. ” While her friends were arguing, the signs of the Architect’s incarnation awaken inside of her head.
They are all accurate, said the voice. And yet, they are all failing to prescribe to the true concept of the matter. This is not a question of collecting information or preparing for an opportunity for a threat. This is about the future, which is the next step in evolution. Of all the changes that occurred in the process of existence’s development. ”
What do you mean? “I asked, who was thinking to herself, but not wanting to wake anybody in the group up.
The Singularity was never meant to be a single universe, a single plane of being, ” The Architect continued. It’s the beginnings of a new reality that you are witnessing. This is a change to the Universal scale. ” The gravity of understanding almost pulled me down to the ground. “You mean… this was bound to happen? That because of the synthesis that we have created, this was set into process?”
Technically speaking, that is not entirely accurate, though, because it is more like the universe simply produced the tools for Its own Synthesis. We you, the enhanced humans, the merged consciousness we’ve become… We are the caterpillar creating our own chrysalis. ”
What the Architect said to me was daunting, and the scale of it all was enough to momentarily stun her. And before she could even register this, there was a loud alarm being heard in the command center.
Indeed, we have a problem,” Alessandro said, his tone was stiff. “The tear in Central Park… something’s coming through. ”Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
I came back to my senses immediately and linked myself to the circle of the sensors and people enhanced by the anomaly. That was beyond what she could attempt to describe.
