1541 Amplification Progress

Author’s Note: Unedited Chapter

——————-

Within the laboratory…

Holographic projections filled the space, displaying streams of data, complex energy diagrams, and molecular structures.

Grand Commander Shion stood with an imposing look with his silver hair and the diamond shard embedded in his forehead before Scientist Merkle.

Merkle intense eyes, adjusted the holographic display to show the latest findings. “Grand Commander, based on our current progress, the amplification method should be ready for implementation in a few weeks. We’ve made significant strides in stabilizing the energy transfer and minimizing the risks.”

Shion nodded thoughtfully, his eyes scanning the detailed data before him. “Excellent work, Merkle. This breakthrough could be pivotal in our struggle against the dark plane.”

Merkle’s expression was resolute. “But still we must tread carefully, Grand Commander. I can only hope the training and psychological preparation for our soldiers yield results.”

“Indeed we must balance the need for power with the imperative of safety. I will inform the other four Grand Commanders of our progress. Together, we will decide the next steps for the future of Earth and the universe as a whole,” Grand commander Shion stated.

“I will continue to refine the process and ensure that everything is ready for the trials,” Scientist Merkle responded.

As Shion turned to leave the laboratory, a sudden gust of wind swept through the room… The winds of ominousity….

As he reached a private area, Grand commander Shion activated the secure link to the other Grand Commanders. Holographic images of four distinguished figures appeared before him, each one representing a pillar of strength and leadership.

“Grand Commanders,” Shion began, his voice carrying the weight of their collective responsibility, “I have urgent updates regarding our efforts against the dark plane. Scientist Merkil and his team have made significant progress with the amplification method. It should be ready for implementation in a few weeks.”

Grand Commander Alara, a formidable looking woman with green eyes and a calm demeanor, nodded. “This is indeed promising news, Grand Commander Shion. The amplification of our soldiers’ strength could turn the tide in our favor.”

Another Grand Commander leaned forward with a stern expression. “What about the risks involved, Grand Commander Shion? We cannot afford to proceed without understanding the full implications.”

“There is no sugarcoating it. Its dangerous and can lead to their demise. The amplification method draws power from both the dark plane and the future potential of our Mixedblood soldiers. While it offers immense strength, it is also highly taxing. Prolonged use could result in the death of the soldiers involved. Only those willing to make the ultimate sacrifice would be considered for this task.”

Grand Commander Zorin, an elderly man with a wise and contemplative air, spoke up. “We must be cautious. The balance of power and safety is delicate. What measures are in place to ensure our soldiers are adequately prepared?”

“Merkle is refining the process and implementing rigorous training and psychological preparation. Volunteers will be the first to give it a try so we may know what step to take next.”

“If our soldiers are to make such sacrifices, we need to ensure it is for a decisive victory. We cannot afford to squander their lives,” Another Grand Commander stated.

Shion’s gaze was steady. “I agree. This is why we must coordinate our efforts and plan our next steps carefully. The decision we make here will shape the future of Earth and the universe.”

The holographic images of the Grand Commanders flickered slightly. After a moment of silence, Alara spoke with a resolute tone. “We will convene again once the trials are complete to decide on the deployment.”

Shion nodded. “I will keep you all updated.”

As the communication ended, Shion stood in the quiet room with an indescribable expression. The winds of foreboding seemed to whisper through the walls.

Returning to the laboratory, Shion found Merkle and his team deep in their work. He approached Merkle, his presence commanding attention.

“Merkle, the other Grand Commanders are informed. We have their support, but we must proceed with caution.”

Merkle nodded. “We will not falter. Our efforts will be thorough and precise.”

They proceeded with their work in the laboratory; conducting simulations and stress tests to ensure stability and safety. The first selected volunteers underwent rigorous training, their resolve unwavering in the face of the immense task ahead.

One evening, as the final preparations were underway, Shion gathered the team for a briefing. The room was filled with anticipation and determination.

Holographic displays flickered with the latest data, casting a soft glow over the faces of those present.

“Everyone,” Shion began, his voice resonating with authority, “we stand on the brink of a new era. The work you have done here is nothing short of remarkable. The time has come to take the next step.”

He turned to the volunteers. “You are the best of us. Your courage and dedication are an inspiration. As you prepare to engage in these trials, know that you carry the hopes and strength of all of us. We are with you, every step of the way.”

The volunteers stood tall, their faces reflecting a mix of pride and determination. One of them, a young woman named Kira, spoke: “We know the risks sir, and we accept them. For our people, for our future, we will do whatever it takes.”

Shion nodded while smiling. “Thank you, Kira. Your bravery honors us all.”

As the volunteers prepared for the trials, the laboratory buzzed with activity. Final checks were made, systems calibrated, and the amplification process initiated.

The moment arrived, and the volunteers stepped into the controlled environment for the trials. The lab fell silent, every eye fixed on the holographic displays tracking their progress.

Seconds turned into minutes, each one filled with anticipation and anxiety. The data streams fluctuated, reflecting the intense energy transfer and the physical toll on the volunteers.

…

Back on the desolate Planet Humbad, the journey down the chasm had been arduous for Gustav and Miss Aimee. The days stretched into a week, each one filled with the oppressive heat and the constant vigilance required to navigate the treacherous path.

The walls of the chasm were lined with jagged rocks and strange, glowing symbols that seemed to pulsate with an eerie energy. The scent of sulfur drizzled across the air and the distant rumble of magma pits provided a constant, ominous soundtrack to their descent.

“We’ve been descending for so long,” Gustav remarked with a slightly distraught look. “Are we ever going to reach the bottom?”

Miss Aimee nodded. “We’re getting close, but it appears the bottom isn’t what we expected. Look.”

Gustav followed her gaze and saw the chasm’s floor ahead, but it was covered in a bubbling, magma-like liquid. Pillars of rock protruded from the molten surface, creating a dangerous and unpredictable terrain.

The red glow from the magma illuminated the entire area, casting long, flickering shadows on the rocky walls.

“Be careful,” Miss Aimee cautioned.

“I’m sure I’ll be fine. I just wish we could move faster,” Gustav let out a little sigh.

They moved carefully with deliberate and measured steps. The heat from the magma had risen to unprecended heights but they were still okay. The rocky pillars provided some stability, but they had to be cautious, testing each foothold before putting their weight on it.

As they continued, the sights around them became more intricate. Debris from what looked like ancient structures lay scattered across the chasm, remnants of a civilization long gone.

The pillars of rock protruding from the magma reminded him of a twisted, otherworldly landscape, like something out of a nightmare.

“Do you think this place was once inhabited?” Gustav asked, his voice echoing slightly in the vast chasm.

Miss Aimee nodded. “It’s possible. If dimension six was always located here then it makes sense for the surroundings to have been formerly inhabited.”

They continued their cautious descent as the heat kept intensifying.

After what felt like an eternity, they finally reached a relatively stable area near the bottom. The magma-like liquid was still everywhere, but there were enough solid footholds to navigate without stepping directly into it.

“I don’t see much roads to move on,” he said to Miss Aimee

Miss Aimee eyes scanning the area for a safe path. “Just keep following me.”

They moved carefully, testing each step before committing to it. The bubbling magma hissed and popped around them, the heat radiating off the surface in waves.

After days of navigating the treacherous chasm, Gustav and Miss Aimee finally reached what appeared to be the real bottom.

The landscape before them was a vast expanse of bubbling, magma-like liquid stretching across thousands of miles, glowing with a malevolent red hue.

The entire scene was both mesmerizing and terrifying. Gustav was almost completely stark naked at this point. In as much as he would have loved to take out another attire from his spatial storage space, using any form of energy could cause problems.

Gustav stopped at the edge, staring out over the molten expanse. “We can’t move any further,” his voice tinged with frustration. “How are we supposed to find anything down here?”
