《ETERNAL IMPERIUM》 Prologo-El final de una pesadilla. -La Tierra (no nuestro universo)- Desde el espacio se puede observar un planeta con tenue brillo azul, un brillo producido por el reflejo de sus mares en la atmosfera, hermosa no hay duda, aun as¨ª, no os enga?¨¦is pues esta joya antes llena de vida ahora no alberga nada m¨¢s que muerte. Lo que antes hab¨ªan sido grandes ciudades llenas de vida, ahora est¨¢n desiertas y en ruinas, ?pero solo fueron las ciudades? no, los bosques, oc¨¦anos, las praderas ninguna criatura quedo sin exterminar incluso las plantas han ido desapareciendo. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Despu¨¦s de una larga guerra que duro m¨¢s de 10 a?os, una guerra librada por los habitantes de este mundo y los que llegaron, una guerra cuyo objetivo ser¨ªa decidir qui¨¦n se quedar¨ªa con este planeta, el resultado, los defensores perdieron. Aunque no todos ellos fueron exterminados, diferentes peque?os grupos de guerreros consiguieron sobrevivir, uno de estos est¨¢ siendo guiado por Mark Tanner, anteriormente un simple Cient¨ªfico, ahora el l¨ªder de un peque?o grupo de 30 valientes. En el centro de la ciudad de Nexus se alza una enorme torre terra-formadora, una de varias colocada en diferentes partes del mundo, cada una con un tama?o equivalente a un rascacielos. Con un para-rayos en la cima que parece querer atravesar el cielo, cada cierto tiempo un haz de luz sale disparado hacia el cielo proveniente de la parte m¨¢s alta de la torre y al poco tiempo de las puertas de esta una legi¨®n de criaturas salidas de las peores pesadillas de cualquier ser salen, movi¨¦ndose con lentitud y vagancia, despu¨¦s de todo ya han ganado, lo que no saben es que han subestimado a los ¨²ltimos humanos. Pues los grupos de remanentes han ideado un plan en conjunto, saben que han perdido la batalla, pero no perder¨¢n la guerra, todos los grupos se han unido para llevar a cabo el ¨²ltimo plan ¡°El ultimo martillo¡±, nombre dado por el proposito que quieren conseguir con este ultimo plan. -2 horas desde que comenz¨® la operaci¨®n- Mark se dirig¨ªa con prisa por el interior de la torre, par¨¢ndose en cada esquina, en su espalda portaba una mochila con un paquete dentro de esta, agarrando con sus dos manos el rifle de asalto M-30, y vestido con ropas azules indicando su rango como ingeniero de combate, una gorra del mismo color y un transmisor en la oreja con un peque?o micro que sobresale utilizado para comunicarse con los miembros de su grupo. ¡°BUff~, tengo los hombros destrozados¡± - pens¨® Mark, mientras se apoyaba en una pared para colocarse bien la mochila, antes de volverse a levantarse para seguir su camino, su objetivo el ¨²ltimo piso donde se encuentran el portal y el terra-formador. ?Boom! Justo en el momento en el cual el pasaba por una de las ventanas Mark escucho una explosi¨®n, para cualquiera le hubiera sido extra?o salvo para el cual sab¨ªa que significaba. ¡°Debo darme prisa, el ataque ya ha comenzado, no puedo permitir que su sacrificio sea en vano, hoy es el ¨²ltimo d¨ªa de esta guerra. Si o si hoy debe terminar¡± murmuro Mark mientras apretaba los pu?os con fuerza. El viaje hasta la cima no fue muy accidentado, despu¨¦s de todo sus compa?eros se hab¨ªan sacrificado para atraer la atenci¨®n de estos invasores, de los cuales no se sab¨ªa ni el nombre de su raza, ni su cultura, su tecnolog¨ªa completamente desconocida, lo ¨²nico que sabe de ellos es que aparecieron de repente y comenzaron a destruir y aniquilar toda forma de vida, comenzando por los animales, en los cuales se incluyen a los humanos. Ahora mismo, ¨¦l se encontraba en la parte m¨¢s alta de la torre una zona completamente plana, en el centro se encontraba un rect¨¢ngulo sobre una peque?a plataforma ese era el portal, y al lado de este una enorme m¨¢quina que parec¨ªa a toda vista un tri¨¢ngulo pegado a una pared, esta estaba conectada con el pico que sal¨ªa de la torre y llegaba hasta los cielos. ¡°He llegado, ahora debo terminar esto r¨¢pidamente instalo la bomba y la detono.¡± Mark murmuro antes de ponerse a trabajar. Esta bomba contiene como detonante un mineral con apariencia de cristal amarillo llamado Aladio, dicho mineral surgi¨® unos meses despu¨¦s de la aparici¨®n de los invasores, posee un gran potencial energ¨¦tico y en este caso explosivo, poseyendo ademas la incre¨ªble propiedad de interferir con las energ¨ªas utilizadas por el portal y la maquina terra-formadora, creando una reacci¨®n en cadena, la explosi¨®n resultante acabar¨ªa por desestabilizar el propio espacio, y como todos los portales est¨¢n conectados la explosi¨®n pasar¨ªa de un portal a otro y a la maquina terra-formadora de cada sitio la cual provocar¨ªa que la distorsi¨®n espacial de la explosi¨®n se trasladara por el planeta envolvi¨¦ndolo. En t¨¦rminos simples, adi¨®s al planeta.If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. Mientras trabajaba, Mark no olvidaba de observar en su PDA la situaci¨®n de las dem¨¢s bombas, seg¨²n este todas las dem¨¢s ya han sido colocadas solo falta la suya. ¡°eh? ?Los ruidos han parado, debo darme prisa solo falta apretar este bot¨®n y ¡­¡­¡±- BANG ¡°AHHH!¡± Grito Mark cuando recibi¨® un disparo de las armas de energ¨ªa de una de las criaturas y saliendo volando un metro de distancia hacia la izquierda de la bomba, ¨¦l hab¨ªa estado tan concentrado trabajando para ponerla que no se hab¨ªa dado cuenta que los ruidos de combate hab¨ªan parado hace m¨¢s de 15 minutos, tiempo suficiente para que algunas de estas criaturas volvieran a la torre. Por suerte, este ¡°soldado de choque¡±, como lo llamaban los miembros de la resistencia, no sol¨ªan tener una gran punter¨ªa, d¨¢ndole a Mark en el hombro. ¡°ugh..¡± mientras se quejaba por el dolor Mark consigui¨® virarse y observar a la criatura Con un cuerpo aproximadamente de 2¡¯50 metros una enorme figura humanoide, con una armadura que le cubr¨ªa completamente el cuerpo, pinchos sal¨ªan por cada parte de su cuerpo volvi¨¦ndolo una masa de muerte cuando cargara hacia su v¨ªctima, nadie nunca ha visto la forma debajo de la armadura de una estas criaturas, principalmente porque cuando mor¨ªan b¨¢sicamente se volv¨ªan polvo, era algo muy extra?o. Mientras esta criatura se acercaba sin hacer un solo ruido a Mark, este observo como este enemigo no estaba solo, detr¨¢s del soldado de choque sal¨ªan otros 20 como ¨¦l y otra figura esta figura media aproximadamente 4 metros de altura, ten¨ªa forma humanoide, en la cabeza por boca se ve¨ªan unos 9 tent¨¢culos actuando como si fueran bigotes, ojos que brillaban de un amarillo mostaza se pod¨ªan ver en cada lado de su cara, para Mark esta criatura era la primera vez que aparec¨ªa, lo m¨¢s asombroso era que los ¡°soldados de choque¡± la obedec¨ªan, con un gesto de la criatura los soldados dejaron de apuntar a Mark pero nunca le dejaron de observar con vigilancia. Y entonces para un asombro a¨²n mayor en su mente una voz hablo. ¡°Eres el ultimo~¡± (Criatura) ¡°?El ultimo?¡± (Mark) ¡°El ultimo de tu especie, de este mundo. ?lo que no entiendo es por qu¨¦ hab¨¦is atacado cuando sab¨ªais que morir seria vuestro destino~?¡±. (Criatura) ¡°¡­¡­¡­ No Tengo que contaros nada a vosotros, que aparecisteis y sin previo aviso comenzasteis a cazarnos y masacrarnos como si fu¨¦ramos animales¡± (Mark) Mientras dec¨ªa esto Mark se levant¨® lentamente reuniendo todas sus fuerzas, y echo una mirada r¨¢pida a la PDA que se encontraba en el suelo, a¨²n estaban activas, as¨ª que se prepar¨® dirigirse a toda velocidad en direcci¨®n en la bomba la cual solo quedaba apretar un bot¨®n rojo para que estallara. La criatura observaba a Mark sin moverse, la raz¨®n de que hab¨ªa hablado con Mark es porque hab¨ªa visto algo en sus ojos, una llama que a¨²n no se hab¨ªa apagado, era extra?o normalmente ya deber¨ªa haber perdido esa luz, se encontraba en una situaci¨®n en la cual no hab¨ªa salida y, aun as¨ª. Mark se dio cuenta que la criatura le observaba detenidamente, si sab¨ªa o no lo que el planeaba o no, daba igual ya que no hizo ademan de detenerle o directamente no le importo. ¡°Os atacamos pues esa es nuestra funci¨®n, la funci¨®n por la cual fuimos creados, somos una prueba mandada por ¡°El eterno¡± y hab¨¦is fallado~" (criatura) ¡°?Una prueba? Me est¨¢s diciendo que todo esto era una prueba, ?billones de vidas acabadas, un planeta pr¨¢cticamente muerto simplemente por una prueba!¡± (Mark) Se acercaba unos cent¨ªmetros m¨¢s a la bomba La criatura sin inmutarse al estallido de furia de Mark, solo dijo una palabra. ¡°Si~¡± (Criatura) En ese momento Mark sin pensarlo se dirigi¨® corriendo hacia la bomba la criatura ordeno a los soldados de choque que dispararan a Mark, mientras se preparaba para dirigirse hacia ¨¦l, lamentablemente ya era tarde Mark, ya estaba al lado de la bomba y hab¨ªa apretado al bot¨®n. ¡°Pues dile a tu creador, s¨ª que te acabas reuniendo con ¨¦l en la otra vida, que se puede meter sus pruebas ah¨ª donde no da el sol, pues no somos sus juguetes y nunca lo seremos¡± (Mark) Eso fue lo ¨²ltimo que dijo Mark antes que un haz de luz blanco se extendiera seg¨¢ndolo completamente. As¨ª fue el final del planeta tierra y de todo el universo 1138. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Justo ese momento Mark despert¨®, se encontraba acostado en la cama de una habitaci¨®n que le resultaba desconocida, estaba decorada como de una manera que dejar¨ªa a los palacios de la tierra como simples chabolas, la cama incre¨ªblemente c¨®moda y grande lo suficiente para que cupieran 3 o 4 personas en ellas, la habitaci¨®n era lo suficientemente espaciosa para que entraran de 8 a 9 personas y aun as¨ª habr¨ªa espacia suficiente para que se moviera, en la pared izquierda se pod¨ªa ver un armario, a la derecha de este una peque?a mesa con un espejo y un a la izquierda un espejo de tama?o completo, y a la derecha un escritorio, al fondo en la pared contraria donde est¨¢ la cama al lado de la puerta de salida de la habitaci¨®n se puede ver la puerta abierta a un ba?o. Mark estaba completamente asombrado, lamentablemente su asombro no iba a durar mucho pues en ese momento una flecha astral de color azul apuntando hacia la salida de la habitaci¨®n apareci¨® delante de Mark con unas palabras debajo de las mismas. ¡°as¨¦ate y v¨ªstete con las ropas que se encuentran en el armario, luego sigue las flechas, tenemos que hablar¡±. ¡°Sinceramente esto no me gusta, pero teniendo en cuenta que no tengo ni idea en donde me encuentro, supongo que no me queda m¨¢s remedio, adem¨¢s tengo la sensaci¨®n que el que ha mandado estas flechas de direcci¨®n tiene que tener control sobre este sitio.¡± Pens¨® Mark. Unos minutos despu¨¦s Mark sali¨® de la habitaci¨®n completamente aseado y vestido con un traje gris plateado y una chaqueta tres cuartos negra, la cual era la ¨²nica ropa en el armario, dispuesto a seguir la direcci¨®n de las flechas. Unos minutos despu¨¦s se encontraba delante de una enorme puerta, f¨¢cilmente media unos 10 metros de altura. ¡°vale¡­ y ahora como entro porque no tengo la fuerza para abrir una puerta de este tama?o. ¡°Pens¨® Mark mientras acariciaba la parte superior de su cabeza con cabello casta?o Justo cuando termino de pensar eso las enormes puertas se abrieron lentamente, desvelando una sala del trono, al fondo de la misma se encontraba sentado en un trono dorado y plateado la figura de un hombre de unos 30-40 a?os, con un color del ojo derecho negro y el otro izquierdo blanco, el pelo ten¨ªa el mismo color que los ojos, pero su patr¨®n estaba invertido. El Traje que ten¨ªa era el mismo estilo que Mark, salvo con un dise?o extra?o, parec¨ªa que dentro de este hab¨ªa galaxias y estrellas, lo incre¨ªble es que no paraban de moverse como si fueran de verdad. Aunque Mark estaba asombrado, lo que de verdad le asombro fueron las primeras palabras que le dijo este hombre. ¡°Bienvenido a mi palacio Mark, soy Nix, el dios primordial de este multiverso, y no te preocupes he apuntado esas palabras que dijiste antes sobre mis pruebas en mi libreta de opiniones contructivas¡± Dijo Nix, mientras sonre¨ªa a Mark de manera inquietante. Opening- The end of the nightmare -The Earth (not our universe) - From space you can see a planet with a dim blue glow, a glow produced by the reflection of its seas in the atmosphere, beautiful there is no doubt, even so, do not be fooled because this jewel before full of life now has nothing more than death. What had once been great cities full of life, are now deserted and in ruins, but only the cities? no, forests, oceans, prairies, no creature remained without extermination, even the plants have been disappearing. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Although not all of them were exterminated, different small groups of warriors managed to survive, one of these is being led by Mark Tanner, previously a simple Scientist, now the leader of a small group of 30 brave. In the center of the city of Nexus stands a huge terra-forming tower, one of several placed in different parts of the world, each with a size equivalent to a skyscraper. With a para-ray at the top that seems to want to cross the sky, from time to time a beam of light shoots towards the sky coming from the highest part of the tower and soon after the doors of this a legion of creatures departed Of the worst nightmares of any being come out, moving with slowness and vagrancy, after all, they have already won, what they do not know is that they have underestimated the last humans. As the groups of remnants have devised a plan together, they know that they have lost the battle, but they will not lose the war, all the groups have united to carry out the last plan "The last hammer", a name given by the purpose that They want to achieve with this latest plan. -2 hours since the operation began- Mark was hurrying inside the tower, standing on each corner, on his back carrying a backpack with a package inside it, grabbing with both his hands the M-30 assault rifle, and wearing blue clothes indicating his rank as combat engineer, a cap of the same color and a transmitter in the ear with a small protruding micro used to communicate with the members of his group. "BUFF ~, my shoulders are shattered" - thought Mark, leaning on a wall to put his backpack on well, before getting up again to continue on his way, his goal the last floor where the portal and the terra-formator meet. Boom! Just as he was passing through one of the windows, Mark heard an explosion, for anyone it would have been strange except for what he knew it meant. The trip to the top was not very uneven, after all his companions had sacrificed themselves to attract the attention of these invaders, of whom they did not know the name of their race, nor their culture, their technology completely unknown, the only thing who knows about them is that they suddenly appeared and began to destroy and annihilate all forms of life, beginning with animals, in which humans are included. Right now, he was in the highest part of the tower a completely flat area, in the center was a rectangle on a small platform that was the portal, and next to this a huge machine that looked at all a triangle Attached to a wall, this was connected to the peak that came out of the tower and reached the heavens. "I have arrived, now I must finish this quickly install the bomb and detonate it" Mark muttered before getting to work. This pump contains as a detonator a mineral with the appearance of yellow crystal called Aladio, said mineral arose a few months after the appearance of the invaders, it has a great energetic potential and in this explosive case, possessing also the incredible property of interfering with the energies used through the portal and the terra-forming machine, creating a chain reaction, the resulting explosion would end up destabilizing the space itself, and as all the portals are connected the explosion would pass from one portal to another and to the terra-forming machine of each site which would cause the spatial distortion of the explosion to travel around the planet enveloping it. In simple terms, goodbye to the planet. While working, Mark did not forget to observe in his PDA the situation of the other bombs, according to this all the others have already been placed only missing his. "Hey? The noises have stopped, I must hurry just need to press this button and ...... "- BANG" AHHH! "Shouted Mark when he was shot by the energy weapons of one of the creatures and flying one meter away to the left From the bomb, he had been so focused working to put her that he had not realized that combat noises had stopped more than 15 minutes ago, long enough for some of these creatures to return to the tower. Luckily, this "shock soldier", as the members of the resistance called him, did not usually have great marksmanship, giving Mark a shoulder. "Ugh .." while complaining about the pain Mark managed to turn around and observe the creature With a body of approximately 2''50 meters a huge humanoid figure, with an armor that completely covered the body, spikes left for each part of his body turning him a mass of death when charging towards his victim, nobody has ever seen the form below of the armor of one of these creatures, mainly because when they died they basically turned into dust, it was something very strange. Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on. While this creature approached without making a single noise to Mark, he observed how this enemy was not alone, behind the soldier of shock came another 20 like him and another figure this figure average approximately 4 meters high, was humanoid, in the head by mouth you could see about 9 tentacles acting as if they were whiskers, eyes that shone yellow mustard could be seen on each side of his face, for Mark this creature was the first time he appeared, the most amazing was that "soldiers of shock "they obeyed, with a gesture of the creature the soldiers stopped pointing to Mark but they never stopped watching him with vigilance. And then to an even greater astonishment in his mind, a voice spoke.
"You are the last ~" (Creature) "The last one?" (Mark) "The last of your kind, of this world. What do I not understand is why you attacked when you knew that dying would be your destiny ~? " (Creature) "......... No, I have to tell you nothing, that you showed up and without warning, you started to hunt us and massacre us as if we were animals" (Mark) While saying this Mark got up slowly gathering all his strength, and I take a quick look at the PDA that was on the ground, they were still active, so he prepared to go at full speed in the direction of the bomb which only had to press a red button to blow it up. The creature observed Mark without moving, the reason he had spoken with Mark is that he had seen something in his eyes, a flame that had not yet turned off, it was strange normally he should have lost that light, he was in a situation in which there was no way out, and still. Mark realized that the creature was watching him closely, whether he knew what he was planning or not, it did not matter since he did not stop or directly did not care. "We attack you because that is our function, the function by which we were created, we are a test sent by" The eternal "and you have failed ~" (creature) "A test? You''re telling me that this was all a test, billions of lives finished, a planet practically dead just for a test! "(Mark) He was approaching a few more inches to the bomb The creature undeterred the outburst of Mark''s fury, just said a word. "Yes ~" (Creature) At that moment Mark without thinking he ran to the bomb the creature ordered the shock soldiers to shoot Mark while preparing to go towards him, unfortunately, it was too late Mark, was next to the bomb and had squeezed the button. "Well tell your creator, yes you end up meeting him in the afterlife, that you can put your tests where the sun does not shine because we are not his toys and we never will be" (Mark) That was the last thing Mark said before a beam of white light stretched out completely. This was the end of the planet earth and the entire universe 1138. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just then Mark woke up, was lying on the bed of a room that was unfamiliar, was decorated as a way that would leave the palaces of the earth as simple shacks, the bed incredibly comfortable and large enough to fit 3 or 4 people in them, the room was spacious enough for 8 to 9 people to enter and even then there would be enough space for it to move, on the left wall you could see a closet, to the right of this a small table with a mirror and a left a full-size mirror, and to the right a desk, at the back on the opposite wall where the bed is next to the exit door of the room you can see the door open to a bathroom. Mark was completely amazed, unfortunately, his astonishment was not going to last long because at that moment a blue astral arrow pointing towards the exit of the room appeared in front of Mark with a few words under them. "Get dressed and get dressed in the clothes that are in the closet, then follow the arrows, we have to talk." "Honestly I do not like it, but considering that I have no idea where I am, I guess I have no choice, plus I have the feeling that the one who sent these directional arrows has to have control over this site. "Mark thought. A few minutes later Mark left the room completely clean and dressed in a silver-gray suit and a black three-quarter jacket, which was the only clothes in the closet, ready to follow the direction of the arrows. A few minutes later he found himself in front of a huge door, easily about 10 meters high. "Ok ... and now as I enter because I do not have the strength to open a door of this size. "Mark thought as he stroked the top of his head with brown hair Just when I finished thinking that the huge doors opened slowly, revealing a throne room, at the back of it, was sitting on a golden and silver throne the figure of a man of about 30-40 years, with a color of the eye right black and the other left white, the hair had the same color as the eyes, but his pattern was reversed. The costume he had was the same style as Mark, except with a strange design, it seemed that within this there were galaxies and stars, the incredible thing is that they did not stop moving as if they were real. Although Mark was amazed, what really shocked him were the first words that this man told him. "Welcome to my palace Mark, I am Nix, the primordial god of this multiverse, and do not worry I have written down those words that you said earlier about my tests in my book of constructive opinions," Nix said while smiling at Mark in a disturbing way.
