Soul of Negary
-
chapter-297
As the sword's outline in his hand slowly faded away, Site S1's director snapped back into reality, discovering that he himself felt unreal, almost incorporeal.
"Because a large volume of characteristics is being resurrected at once, there will be some time before the timeline is thoroughly altered. We still have a chance"
Deep inside the SCR Foundation, the members of the E5 council remained completely calm. As the greatest elites among elites of humanity, being unwavering in the face of great adversity was nothing but the most basic quality.
Leaving Negary to infect the world would definitely result in a timeline alteration while using the [REDACTED] black sword would rouse an informational storm from the Inexistent world to interfere with Negary's alteration. At the same time, it also gave the failed timelines another chance to revive themselves.
This way, they would hold one another off, giving humanity the chance to overturn everything."Dispatch the Ultra Space-Time Squad for timeline reconstruction, as long as they can grasp the opportunity, there's still a chance to protect our current timeline"
The alteration of the timeline was causing the entire world to also undergo change.
Dinosaurs from within museums had come back to life, dividing themselves into the Great Dino group and the Raptor group.
The leader of the Great Dino group, Tyrannosaurus, believed that their era was already over and it would be best for them to coexist with humanity; while the leader of the Raptor group, Chrysosaurus, believed that this timeline alteration was the perfect chance for them to turn this into the dinosaur era once more.
The Raptor group was quite a bit more technologically advanced, which they took advantage of to retrieve remnant items of their timeline, created a time machine and traveled to the past to change the timeline once more. On the other hand, despite being more physically powerful, the Great Dino group was inferior to the Raptor group when it came to technology, they were unable to create a time machine for themselves, so they reached out to humanity's representative.
In less than a day, numerous anomalies became mundane once again: giants that flew in the sky, ancient plants that sprouted from deep underground, an army of an old empire awoke from their ancient tomb, the world was becoming stranger and stranger in an increasingly rapid manner.
The Ultra Space-Time Squad was quickly assembled, which included the traitors of the Dino Sapiens, the Great Dino group: Tyrannosaurus, Stegosaurus, Pterodactyl, and Triceratops; a combat android captured from the intelligent machine timeline, T-800; an elite pilot of a mechanical exoskeleton and fighter aircraft, as well as the self-contained anomaly, Major Tom Cage; hobbyist collector of tiny tadpoles, super-agent Black Widow; supernatural consultant and poster person of every tobacco company on the planet, Constantine; Time Master Rip Darvill; and the mysterious Doctor; all of whom were tasked with travelling back to the ancient times, defeat other anomalous lifeforms, and maintain the current human timeline as it is."When will the time machine be repaired?" taking a deep drag of tobacco, the curly-haired blond woman Constantine put one hand in her long trench coat, then turned to the person next to her: "Hey, why do you think a supernatural consultant like me is being recruited into the Ultra Space-Time Squad?"
"Because the enemy this time is an expert in Mysticism, which you're also an expert of" the one standing next to her was a beautiful woman with red curly hair and an hourglass figure, glancing at Constantine who was silently gulping her saliva.
This was the super-agent Black Widow… although 9 out of 10 female agents would have the same codename. She didn't even need to look to know the intentions of the blond girl next to her, after all, the other party was famous for being bisexual: "And by the way, I'm only interested in those of the opposite sex"
"You need to be more inclusive in life, y'know" Constantine advised her out of goodwill.
"Alright, the machine is about to be finished, the timeline alternation caused the temporal structure to change quite a bit, so it took quite some time to re-adjust" a tall lanky man with short brown curly hair fastened his own scarf while waving a high-tech Sonic Screwdriver.
「 It's all thanks to your work, Doctor. If I had to do it myself, this would have taken quite a bit more time 」the bright green Stegosaurus clapped his large hands together and said: 「 The materials of our timeline and this one is drastically different 」
「 And you as well, Mister Rip. If not for the data you provided as reference, we would have had great difficulty resolving the issue of navigation 」
"Come on now, if not for Mister Stegosaurus, we wouldn't have been able to resolve the anomalous information either" Time Master Rip Darvill also praised Stegosaurus in return. Glancing at The Doctor, they also exchanged nods, perhaps it was because both of them were highly involved in temporal matters that the two of them felt a strange sense of familiarity.
"Alright, let's not continue blowing our whistles, there's not a lot of time. Let's start this time machine up and maintain the correct timeline for humanity, I feel like I might turn into a man if we continue to dawdle" Constantine waved her hand dismissively and entered the newly-finished time machine.
"How do you know you're not a man in the regular timeline?" a handsome man wearing an exoskeleton piloted it to enter this time machine that looked like a narrow public phone booth.
From the outside, it was no different from a normal phone booth, but the inside was extremely large, giving more than enough space for even the Dino Sapiens with their large bodies to freely move about.
"And you could also be nothing but a girl in that timeline, Major" Constantine snapped back right away, turning to the exoskeleton pilot Tom Cage while breathing out a puff of smoke.
[You will be the only ones participating in this mission. Due to the unique characteristics of time, only suitable people are able to travel back in time. Furthermore, all non-temporal related anomalies cannot be used]
[Once you fail, the world that belongs to us will also completely vanish, leaving only remnants remaining]
A highly altered voice resounded through the room from a speaker, everyone here understood that was an announcement from the E5 council, one of the highest leaders of humanity.
[I shall be waiting for tomorrow when you return as legends] after this declaration, the speaker went silent again, the phone booth time machine was also activated, loudly pumping power throughout its mechanical parts.
If the timeline wasn't messed up, it would have been much easier for several of these people to travel through time. However, as the world's timeline was undergoing an unprecedented alteration, if their machine and power weren't sufficient, there was a very real chance for them to be crushed into nothingness by the world's timeline.
The one who had just issued that order from a secret room in a secret base stood up, slightly limping as they started walking, a hint of slight golden flames seemed to be reflected in their eyes.
…
The era of life's beginning.
A highly damaged machine popped out of thin air, then immediately broke apart, releasing three Dino Sapiens with different appearances from within.
Breathing in this specious air, a yellow Dino Sapien with a gold tooth grinned viciously: 「 I like the oxygen level of this place 」
「 We shall look for the dinosaurs of this era, become their leader, then change this world to ultimately become ours! 」the yellow Dino Sapien loudly declared the goal of their mission, a crimson Dino Sapien and a violet Dino Sapien both responded in return.
However, the Dino Sapiens didn't notice that several humanoid creatures had them surrounded, each wielding a torch in their hand.
- Tom Cage and Rip Darvill are the author's amalgamations of the two DC characters William Cage and Rip Hunter with their respective actors in "Edge of Tomorrow" and "Legends of Tomorrow", Tom Cruise and Arthur Darvill. The Doctor is referencing Doctor Who
