Reincarnated at Level Two Million - Chapter 140

The two galactic units passed with no other major events transpiring. Zell just sat in his quarters looking out at the vastness of space thinking about what he needed to do. After the two days of thinking he had a plan, he just hoped it was a good one.

“Zell, are you alive in there?” Furg said over the intercom into Zell’s room. “You haven’t been out once, not even to eat. Do gods not require food or something?”

Zell thought about that for a moment. It is true he could not remember the last time he ate, or even felt hungry. He also felt no need for sleep. “It appears I do not.” Zell responded. “Are we at our destination?”

“Yes, but well…” Furg paused fighting back emotion. “Can you come to the bridge? There is something you need to see.”

Zell stood up and left his chambers and made his way to the bridge to meet up with Furg. The crewmen that he passed along the way all had saddened faces and the look of true despair. Their eyes were swollen from crying, although as Zell passed they did their best to smile. They did not want to show weakness to an outsider that they barely knew. Even if he did claim to be a god.

Zell arrived at the bridge and the mood was truly a somber tone. Furg walked over to Zell, his face reflecting the fact that he too had been overcome with emotion.

“Thank you for coming.” Furg said. “I know your plan is that of peace, but just look at what our enemy has done. On screen.”

Images of a destroyed planet filled the screen. Space dust and debris filled the area.

“They destroyed our home.” Furg said. “I do not know how they managed to get past our planetary defenses, but it doesn’t really matter. My people and I are now homeless. Sure, we have colony planets, but this planet was where we all started, it was our culture, our history, it was our home. There can never be peace, I know my people and I will not rest until all those bastards have been wiped from existence. Over one hundred billion souls were just lost in this act of barbarism.”

“You said, just lost?” Zell said.

“Yes, we arrived just as he exploded.” Furg said. “Happened no more than a few moments ago.”

“Then please leave it all to me.” Zell said with a smile as he teleported out of the ship into the open space.

Furg and his crew rushed to the screen as they watched in shock and horror as Zell was now in the void of space. They expected him to die, as no one can survive the vacuum of space, but Zell was unharmed. The lack of air, not the freezing cold phased him in the slightest. Zell began to glow and transform into his dragon form.

They had never seen a creature as vast and as amazing as Zell’s dragon form. He was around the same size of their ship and his scales glowed with the most beautiful light. They watched as he pulled his dragon arms out and balls of golden light formed in his scaly palms. As he did the planet began to reform. Each massive chuck collided with another until it was the same size that it once was.

After that the planet began to glow with a bright light and when the light faded the planet looked just as they remembered. Zell then let out a roar that shook their vessel violently as he summoned the extra strength to pull those billions of souls back from the cycle before they were processed.

Resurrection was never achieved in this universe of science and technology, and Zell was about to do it a hundred billion times over in front of several witnesses. As Zell completed his task, he just paused looking at the planet he had just rebuilt and the lives he had returned. He was ensuring that he did not leave a soul behind, checking, and double checking.

Zell now had a mastery of the cycle and how it worked. When a mortal dies, the method of their death is recorded on their soul. Zell grabbed all the souls from this universe that died of planetary explosion.

The screen inside the ship began to flash red as they had an incoming message. A message from their home planet. With tears flowing down his face Furg commanded the computer to answer the call. It was his wife, looking well and good, as if she had never died.

“Honey, why are you crying?!” She asked with a concerned look. She seemed to have had no memory of her death or the destruction of her planet. “Is it our daughter?! Did those bastards hurt her?! Kill her?!”

Furg smiled as he wiped the tears from his face. “I am just so happy to see you, my love.” He said. “I am happier than I have ever been in my entire life, seeing your face, hearing your voice, this is the greatest moment of my life. Thank you, Zell, thank you.”

“Honey?” His wife asked, confused. “Who is Zell and what are you on about? We have a problem, that’s why I called. Our planetary defense codes have been stolen; we need you to change the codes immediately. Something or someone has locked everyone else’s access out.”

“I will get right on that honey.” Furg said, still crying out of the joy he was feeling. Zell appeared in his human form behind Furg and placed his hand on his shoulder.

“It is going to be okay now.” Zell said. “As I said, I will bring the peace you deem impossible.”

“I believe you with every fiber of my being.” Furg said. “Honey, this is Zell. He is a god and has come to end the war and save our daughter.”

“A god?” Furg’s wife asked loudly. “Have you gone mad? You know there is no such thing is a god.”

“Honey, there is no doubt in my mind that Zell is who he says he is.” Furg said. “I have other calls I must take now. I promise I will explain everything to you later. I love you.” With that Furg ended the transmission with his wife.

He opened the transmission of the highest status next.

“Please explain what just happened?!” An angry older man just yelled. “I watched as a planet destroying missile landed on our planet’s surface. I saw it explode. Then I remember nothing, and here I am, and the planet is fine. The only thing different from the last moment I remember is your ship is in orbit. So, what happened?”

“It is as you said.” Furg replied. “Our planet was destroyed, our people killed.”

“Then how am I talking to you?” The older man asked.

“Commander Zug, I would like you to meet Zell.” Furg said. “He is a god, a real god.”

“Am I to believe that I owe my life to this god?” Zug asked.

“I have the whole thing recorded.” Furg said. “Zell is the only reason we have a home. He is the reason my wife still lives, why you still live. I don’t know how he rebuilt a planet and brought back the dead and frankly I don’t care. He said he was a god and damn it that is good enough for me.”

Zug just stared with a blank expression. He was trying to process everything that had just happened. Being told you died and then were brought back from death is a hard pill to swallow for even the sternest minded. “You have my thanks then god Zell.” Zug said with a bow on the video feed. “My people pledge their undying support and loyalty to you and your godliness. I will spread the word far and wide of the amazing feat you have done today, and it will eliminate any doubt in anyone’s mind that you are a god.”

“I am happy there will be no doubters.” Zell said. “As your new god, I have but one request. A commandment if you will. Value life above all else, not only your own but all life. Do not kill for hate or war but cherish the life that you are given. Of course, that does not mean you cannot kill animals for meat, just do not overdo it and be respectful of the animals that give their lives for you.”

“I understand.” Zug said. “I will spread your commandment. I do have one question, are we allowed to defend ourselves?”

“That would be valuing your own life would it not?” Zell asked. “Just do not go out and seek battle, instead seek peace through dialogue. Almost all war can be avoided by talking out your problems and finding mutual things in common.”

“What of our enemy though?” Zug asked. “They destroyed our planet and killed all our people. I know you brought us back, but that act of aggression needs to be answered.”

“Do not worry about them.” Zell said.. “I will deal with them next.”
