Reincarnated at Level Two Million - Chapter 142

In a few short hours Furg and his were approaching the enemy planet of Hals. The two civilizations were galactic neighbors as close as they were to one another. As his dreadnought cruiser entered their space he was immediately flagged as a threat. The Halions knew that they had just destroyed the home planet of Furg and his people and assumed that they were coming on a suicide mission of vengeance.

Without warning all of the Halion vessels launched a volley of attacks. They fired missiles, shot lasers, and launched bombs. They threw absolutely everything in their arsenal at Furg’s ship. They knew if they allowed Furg to get close that ship had the power to do to their planet what they had just done to his.

Zell watched on screen as the massive attack commenced. He raised his arm out and formed a barrier around the ship. All of the attacks struck his barrier, but his barrier was completely unphased. “Hail them.” Zell said. “I wish to talk to them.”

“You heard the god!” Furg yelled out. “Send an alert to all of the Halion ships!”

Furg’s crew scrambled as they rushed to send out as many transmission signals as possible. Within a few moments someone answered the call. It was a young adult with a fit body and blue skin. He had orange hair and red eyes. Furg recognized the man as the prince who imprisoned his daughter and started the war.

“Well, if it isn’t the man, I once hoped to call father.” He said over the transmission. “Your shield technology has advanced greatly. We launched everything and did not even affect the power of your vessel at all. Tell me why are you here? Are you here on some misguided attempt to avenge your fallen planet?

We only did what we had to. We know of your super weapon. We could not risk you using it.”

“What super weapon?!” Furg asked loudly. “We have no such thing!”

“As if I would believe a man that spawned the woman who shattered my heart!” The prince yelled back. “Our intelligence is rock solid. We even found proof in the royal treasure that your daughter brought to us. She is the one who told us about it to begin with!”

“My daughter did what?!” Furg yelled. He was confused, to his knowledge there was no super weapon, why would his daughter tell such a thing to a hostile power. He thought for a moment. His daughter worked for another one of the leaders of their planet. It is possible she uncovered something. “Why wouldn’t she tell me then?!”

The prince studied Furg’s face and would tell that he was not lying. “I see you have no idea what I am talking about. The reason your daughter still draws breath after the shame she put upon me is because she brought us this information and proof. She was afraid of what your people would do and came to us to stop you all.”

“But she could have just come to me!” Furg said.

“You will have to ask her about that yourself.” The prince said. “Granted you still draw breath after our conversation.”

“That’s enough.” Zell said as he looked at the ball, he was still holding in his hand containing Radi. “What kind of weapon caused you such fear that you needed to kill billions of innocent lives?”

“We did what we had to do to save trillions.” The prince said. “It is a bio plague. It has a near perfect death rate for any infected. Although it seems it was engineered so that Furg and his people would be immune to its effects. It is a nasty bug that lies in wait without showing any symptoms. For thirty galactic units the infected walk around completely unaware while they infect everyone around them. Then after that time period the infected suffers acute organ failure and dies by the end of galactic unit thirty-one.

We have never seen such a weapon. It would indiscriminately wipe out nearly all life in the universe, as it is super contagious. Inside the royal treasure brought to us was a sample of the plague. It was then we knew what had to be done.”

“I had no idea.” Furg said with a defeated look on his face. “To think my people would do something as horrible as that.”

“I need to know where she got the sample.” Zell said. “Let me speak to her immediately.”

“Who the hell even are you stranger?” The prince asked.

“I am a god.” Zell said. “My name is Zell. Now that you know my name let me speak to her. I must stop that plague from getting out.”

“We destroyed the planet.” The prince said. “The research and the people responsible are all dead now. Why are you so worried about it? The universe is safe.”

“Zell here is a real god.” Furg said. “I know you didn’t believe him, but just turn your spy satellites to my planet and you will see what I mean.”

The prince’s eyes looked at a different screen and widened as he saw the planet that was once destroyed back in its place. “How?!” The prince yelled.

“I brought it back.” Zell said. “Along with everyone who died. Now please I do not wish this plague or virus to escape that world. Let me speak to the girl and I will take care of it.”

A second screen popped up and showed a destressed pregnant woman inside of a damp cell. Her skin was green, and she had long white hair. “Father?!” She said as her eyes lit up from seeing Furg. “I feared the worst when they told me they destroyed our home.”

“You two can catch up in a moment.” Zell said. “I need to know where you got that sample from.”

“Yes, why didn’t you tell me?” Furg said. “I could have done something. Mass murder is not our way.”

“Not our way?!” She yelled. “You have a warship that can blow up a planet! You have killed thousands in the name of duty and war. Forgive me if I thought that you might be involved in the creation of the plague.

I did the only thing I could to save the universe. I told the Halions what was happening. I have been secretly talking with them for years anyway. I wanted to marry the prince; I even fell in love with him. I thought that if we married both our peoples would see we are not so different. That we could coexist.

But then during my escape, I was so stressed by everything. I drank way too much, and that pilot was way too attractive. I made a mistake. That one mistake has cost our race dearly. We lost our home, our place in the universe, and our chance at peace. I am so sorry, father. I am sorry to you as well my prince. I really did want you to be my first.”

“That is all well and good, now give me the location of the sample.” Zell said. “It is rather urgent.”

“It was near the northern pole of the planet. A secret lab under the snow.” She explained.

“I will set a course back immediately.” Furg said.

“There is no need, nor is there time.” Zell said. “I will go there myself.” Zell turned his attention back to the prince. “If I find this ship destroyed when I return, you will see what the wrath of a god feels like.”

The prince nodded in understanding. “All units stand down.” He said over the comms. “Any attacks will be dealt with as an act of treason and the party responsible will be executed on the spot.”

Zell nodded and then teleported back to the home planet of Furg. He flew to the northern pole and scanned the area for a secret lab. After a few minutes of flying, he found a strange outline in the snow and flew down to investigate. With one large breath he blew all of the snow away and revealed a concrete bunker.

He grabbed the door and went down inside. He found many of Furg’s people working hard.

“The work here stops now.” Zell said.

The workers all stopped what they were doing and looked up at Zell.

A man with a short haircut and a business suit walked over in front of Zell. “Who are you? How did you find our lab?” He asked.

“Do you not watch the news?” Zell asked. “I am the savior of your planet. I grabbed your souls from oblivion and brought you all back to life. I rebuilt your entire planet and rebuilt your cities. I am your god!”

“No sorry.” The man said. “We do not get the news here. Although that is the most novel introduction I have ever heard, even if it is all just a lie. Now tell me, who are you and why are you in our secret research base?!”
