Reincarnated Into A Transformer In Cybertron With A System - Chapter 19
While Night Shadow was exploring the empty hole, guards who were following him had caught up. They looked at the ocean with a dumbfounded look. They did not know the power of Night Shadow before but now, it was clear as crystal.
The guards knew that the length and depth of the ocean of the middle ring were enormously huge and to make it disappear, the enemy(Night Shadow) probably had god-like powers. No matter how much they wanted the scene in front of them to be fake, their eyes could not deceive them. But here’s the thing. There was another reason they did not enter the ocean and that was that there was another creature beneath the ocean. It was a creature that was powerful enough to destroy a dwarf planet. The least they wanted to do was provoke the creature.
The guards turned back and started heading back towards Kargul. While this was happening above the surface of the ocean, Night Shadow was still looking at the radar to find the teleportation device. It had been 10 minutes seen the search and nothing had been found yet, Night Shadow did not give up. He knew that the king(ruler of the innermost ring) would have placed it somewhere no one could find easily. Night Shadow kept looking at the radar when he heard…
“Master, the energy levels of the spaceship had decreased to 50%. If this continues for 1 hour, we may not be able to escape”
Athena had kept giving messages that the spaceship’s energy levels were decreasing rapidly due to the high consumption of energy. Night Shadow tried thinking of any way to use the energy more efficiently but he could not think of an idea. While thinking of an idea, the spaceship’s altitude was decreasing rapidly as it was going deeper and deeper. The spaceship’s light could not see penetrate beyond 50 meters because of the darkness in the ocean. Although all the creatures of the ocean were in the storage, Night Shadow kept feeling shills looking at the darkness around him. The ocean was becoming darker and darker the more the spaceship went deeper. Night Shadow looked at his moving hands when an idea struck him.
He asked the system, ‘Hey system, can you divide the energion in my core into two? One for me and one for the spaceship?’
[Affirmative host but there is a problem]
Night Shadow smiled and asked, ‘What is the problem?’
[Host has to stay inside the spaceship at all times to keep the circulation of the energion to be complete]
Night Shadow nodded with a smile and immediately something happening in his core. The energy that seemed to flow, divided into two ways. One went to his body and the other went out of his body through his legs. But another small problem occurred. The moment the energion touched the spaceship, it stopped flowing and remained in Night Shadow’s legs.
“Master, there is unknown energy trying to enter the spaceship. Should I allow it?”
Night Shadow replied, “Yes, Athena”
The blocked energion started entering the spaceship and Night Shadow let out a sigh. Night Shadow did not think it would work but it did and was even successful. Night Shadow shook his head and focused back on the radar. The spaceship kept decreasing in altitude but there was no sign of land anywhere.
Night Shadow suddenly thought of a thing and looked at the storage with his eyes widened due to shock. The volume of water in this ocean was at least a thousand times more than the volume of water on earth.
In midst of Night Shadow’s shock, Athena’s voice rang out.
“Master, I have found something”
Night Shadow came out of the shock and rushed over to the radar. He saw a small dot a few kilometers away from him and Night Shadow quickly told Athena to rush over there. The ship turned and went ahead with full speed. The distance between the spaceship and the dot was becoming smaller and smaller when the radar became completely red. Night Shadow looked at the radar with confusion.
“Athena is something wrong with the radar?”
Night Shadow had a bad feeling about this as Athena replied…
“Master, there is nothing wrong with the radar”
Night Shadow told Athena to show the bottom view of the spaceship and what he saw even terrified him. The monster was 5 m away from the spaceship and rock grey in color. Its six blue eyes were staring back at Night Shadow with innocence and did not do anything hostile towards the ship. Night Shadow sighed in relief that it did not do anything to the ship because if it did, Night Shadow would be meeting death today.
Night Shadow could not gain any more information on it and exited the spaceship. He also saw that there was land beneath the monster and so, did not transform into a dragon. With silence, he landed on the soft land and looked towards the monster. When he looked up he saw 6 pairs of eyes with slight hostility. Without hesitation, he got on his right knee, made his right hand into a fist and hit the ground, and gave a bow.
Night Shadow replied with an innocent tone, “Hello, my name is-”
“Night Shadow, yes”, a loud yet beautiful female voice completed his sentence.
Night Shadow looked up and met the creature’s eyes with awe and confusion. Night Shadow had never met this creature yet it knew his name. Night Shadow felt the creature smile and started speaking…
“My name is Seraphim, the last descendant of the Fateragon Race. The Fateragon race was a successful and powerful race. We lived on one of the most beautiful lands under the heavens and were born as creatures related to the divine. Fortunately, the peace treaty allowed us to live in peace and harmony. We thought we and our descendants could always live in peace but not everything went our way. Another evil race, of whom I am not allowed to tell the name, attacked us and slaughtered every one of us. That evil race was one of our enemies who were envious of our divine characteristics and had betrayed the peace treaty to exterminate our whole race. All of our race members tried their best to escape but only I and a few others could successfully escape. We had no choice but to come to this realm and reside here. Unfortunately, my comrades, who had successfully escaped with me, had died due to old age and I was the only one left. One day, while roaming around, I met a kind ruler, who was the previous ruler of this race, who gave me a job and in exchange, he would give me the most comfortable living place he could afford. I accepted it and lived a happy life for a long time when the kind ruler died and another ruler took his place. Unlike the kind ruler, the new ruler gave me a new job to protect the teleportation device and kicked me out of my previous home. Although it was not a great job, I was pregnant at that time and did not have much choice, so I chose this job and here I am”
Night Shadow heard the story with awe and respect. He never expected a creature like this to stay here but he still had one question.
Night Shadow asked with the utmost respect, “But, why are you telling me this?”
Seraphim smiled and said, “Do you know why we, the creatures of the Fateragon race, are related to the divine?”
Night Shadow shook his head and Seraphim continued.
“That’s because we have characteristics to control space, time, gravity, and fate. There is no creature of any race except for ours that have control over space, time, gravity, and fate. Although our control over fate is quite less than our control over the others, it is quite remarkable”
Night Shadow was shocked to hear this. Night Shadow understood why these creatures are related to the divine. That’s because the creatures of the Fateragon race control fate, something only gods, in legends and myths, could control. I mean, who can control fate? Won’t that person be overpowered?
Seraphim did not stop and continued, “I have seen the fate of my child and have seen many paths but two main paths. In the first path, her fate is dark and she will continue the path in which I am in, that is, living here and protecting the teleportation device for the idiotic king. In the second path, her fate is bright and she shall be powerful enough to rival the power of many universes but, there is a condition for the second path, and that condition is you. Only under you can she become powerful and take revenge for our race. So I have a favor to ask”
Night Shadow knew what the favor might be but he nodded and Seraphim continued.
“I hope you will become a family member for my daughter and help her get revenge for our race. You have an option to decline this favor because once you choose this path, you will be making an enemy of a very powerful race and cannot turn back”
Night Shadow thought about this very seriously. What he would say could determine his life and death.
‘True, if I take her in, I will be putting myself in danger but I have her life in my hands. So what should I choose’
Night Shadow kept thinking and thinking when he decided.
“Miss Seraphim, it would be my honor to have such a powerful family member and I will do my best to raise her”
Night Shadow knew the loneliness of being an orphan and did not want anyone else to suffer it, thus coming to this conclusion.
Night Shadow felt a smile dawn upon as Seraphim said, “Thank you, Night Shadow, for taking in my daughter. We have one more step to make her accept you as her family member. Recite the line I say in the proper manner and give her a name. The line is…”
Seraphim recited a line and Night Shadow repeated before giving his family member the name – Freya.
As soon as Night Shadow give Freya her name a small iridescent-colored egg appeared in front of him and Night Shadow felt a bond between them as the egg zoomed around Night Shadow twice between disappearing again. Night Shadow also could feel the emotions Freya was experiencing and right now, she was feeling very happy to be around her family member.
Night Shadow suddenly heard a ding in his head.

——————————
Night Shadow was surprised by the new “Failure” column in the system. He was also surprised by the evaluation of the mission given by the system. It was an SS and it was the first time he was given such an important and hard mission. But, it was to be expected.
Seraphim said, “Now, let me give you a piece of advice before you head towards the innermost ring. The king is not as friendly as you think and should not be trusted very easily. That’s it, now go, young one”
Night Shadow nodded and headed towards the teleportation device. The teleportation device was in the shape of an obelisk shape. It was completely black in color, camouflaging with the surrounding. It was 70 feet in height and drawings were drawn on the obelisk on all the sides. It was similar to the one in the test but just in black color. Although it was very dark around Night Shadow, he could clearly see the teleportation device.
Night Shadow looked back at Seraphim with a smile and touched the teleportation device. He felt a pull and did not resist it. While Night Shadow disappeared, he didn’t see the smile on Seraphim’s face as she faded into nothing.
Night Shadow felt a million colors pass by him as he traveled at high speeds and after 10 minutes, he forced out. Night Shadow felt the ground as he tried to try not to fall apart. Night Shadow took some time to get used to it and he saw the in front of him. It was a castle that was floating in the air, and beneath the castle was a piece of land. But that was not the end. The castle was magnificent and huge. Six towers in the shape of a cylinder stood symmetrically around the main castle. The main castle was silver and white-colored with a silver-colored translucent circle barrier that covered the whole castle and the land on which it was floating. The lavish windows, white walls, pointy towers, the barrier, it looked like a castle straight out of a portrait.
Beneath the castle was glistening, crystal-clear light blue water which reflected the rays of the sun. Above the castle were white fluffy clouds lazily roaming around. Night Shadow looked behind him and saw the teleportation device. Night Shadow also saw that he was standing on a small floating piece of land. There was a translucent iridescent bridge connecting the teleportation device and the castle.
Without further ado, Night Shadow stepped on the bridge and started heading towards the castle while thinking about how Seraphim managed to come out of his storage.
