Millennium Tension

Chapter 11: Our Fault

Aizen, Ana, and Axel watched the event from [Axel Goddess]. The elite squadron that came with sixteen units now only retreated with thirteen units in a battered state.

"Are you aware of something strange?"

"Daddy, why aren't reinforcements coming to help them?" Ana realized that such a monster might not be defeated with only sixteen units, even the strongest warrior who is leading then were only at [Rank 4].

"The space monster is digging a hole? What for? Ah... He looks confused now." Axel is actually more focused on the strange behavior of the space monster.

"Hm... Hm... Many possibilities can happen, like someone behind the scenes trying to weaken the squad or even kill some of them because the reinforcements were intentionally delayed." The reinforcements that had not yet departed from the Southern City strengthened Aizen's hypothesis.

"But what he did... Even though he only had minimal intelligence, he couldn't have come without a reason isn't it..." Aizen murmured while thinking about the most reasonable possibility about the strange behavior of the monster who seemed to be looking for something.

"Oh! Axel, when you find a lot of [Mystical Stones] in the remnants of the planet, you meet some space monsters around it right?"

"En. After killing them all, I gathered all the [Mystical Stones] I found there." Hearing Aizen realizes something and asks herself, Axel answered without thinking.

"Then I want to confirm a few things."

They returned to [Space Storage] again, analyzing the carcasses of space monsters Axel had killed long ago. The law of aging due to time does not apply here, if an object is stored in an immediate state it will always be in the same state until the object is taken out.

Aizen's body which was currently enriched by [Axel Energy] since its awakening got a strong energy reaction when he touched one of the carcasses.

"Their bodies react to [Axel Energy]?"

Aizen tries again by changing the energy he has into different elements, such as water, fire, lightning, and so on. But it didn't get the same reaction as when he touched the carcass with pure [Axel Energy].

"Ana, Axel, try touching one of the space monster's carcasses." Even though it is a carcass but their body is more like a stone or bone. Ana and Axel's bodies have the same constitution as him getting the same energy reaction as when Aizen touched it.

"This is bad. They reacted to [Axel Energy], so what about the raw material for this energy..." Aizen took out a piece of [Mystical Stone], but Aizen who was connected with the [Axel Goddess] analytic system saw the same energy reaction appear after he took the raw material of [Axel Energy], with this he finally knows where the problem is.

'All this time Axel has always made [Axel Goddess] in incognito mode perhaps also disguising this energy from that space monster.'

"Axel, Ana, help me analyze more about the body structure of these monsters. The fact that they reacted to [Axel Energy] is bad news!" They immediately did what Aizen ordered and worked like a research assistant, a role similar to when they were on earth.

Axel has never been hunted by space monsters because she has pure energy from the [Mystical Stone] and several other objects that have the same energy, only if these space monsters are in close range when the pure energy is released or they make direct physical contact is the only way they detect this energy.

If [Axel Goddess] deactivate incognito mode and emits pure energy, they had a huge risk of being surrounded by many space monsters, and this is not a good thing, they should be able to find a better solution as soon as possible.

An hour passed quickly, they finally succeeded in changing molecules and substances to prevent [Axel Energy] or even raw objects that have the same energy from being reacted by the bodies of space monsters.

With this we are safe. But the previous question hasn't been answered.

'What's the cause the monster of that caliber coming to Mars anyway. This can't be a coincidence right?' Aizen mumbled in his mind.

This was their first time seeing a space monster in [Rank 6]. Because of the special abilities they have, space monster can fight equally with the monster one level above them. Of all the space monsters that Axel had killed and stored in [Space Storage], they were only between [Rank 2] to [Rank 5].

Axel seems aware of something and looks away refusing eye contact with Aizen who is thinking in front of her.

"Em? Sister Axel are you aware of something?" Ana noticed Axel's strange behavior with a slightly uneasy feeling who sat next to her.

"Um... Um... Yes, it seems I know the reason for the arrival of the space monster." Hearing this Aizen and Ana looked at Axel to hear the sequel

"The space monsters are loners and seem to like the energy emitted by raw materials of [Axel Energy]... Maybe that's their food source..."

"Then... Then..." Ana cheerfully asked for the sequel.

"Ah... Um... But it seems that the space monster came because of us."

"Our fault?" Aizen did not understand where the monster was coming from.

"Um... When I started your resurrection process, I deactivated the incognito mode of [Axel Goddess] in the hope that your soul would return before reactivating it again after your soul returned."

Aizen and Ana finally realized the point. The space monster arrival to Mars because he detected a huge [Axel energy] was being used while [Axel Goddess] deactivate its incognito mode, and he is now confused looking for it. The energy came from them while they were still in Earth's orbit and he was lost on Mars and could not detect it again.

After seeing the resistance on Mars some time ago that monster would endanger humans, knowing the strongest humans were only at [Rank 4], and more importantly the cause was because of them!

Axel knows that Aizen doesn't like problems, so she is a little nervous after realizing this a while ago.

Aizen massages his forehead for a moment.

"Alright, this is our fault. Then we can't just sit still and watch. I will pilot Unit #7 with virtual reality control. Axel, Ana, send all the robots in [Robot Space] that can be operated to imitate our research results to all parts of [Axel Goddess]. Hehe, and see how amazing I am maneuvering!" Aizen gave the order and ended his words as he added a joke with a smile.

"Daddy is the most amazing!" Ana exclaimed excitedly.

"Like to show off." After executing Aizen's orders and sending all the working robot units to implement their research results Axel smiled and the three of them went to the hangar of Unit #7.
