Millennium Tension

Chapter 44: New Surname

'Ana, Axel, help me put up barrier runes in this room and expand into each of the rooms next to us.' Aizen said in his mind, and the three of them immediately set up barriers on each side which they could manipulate later.

After putting up a barrier using [Axel Energy], Aizen sat on the bed and beside him sat Ana and Axel on each side after Aizen removed the mask and the two girls removed the veil on their faces. Three people who seemed to be from the world of the gods were sitting side by side.

"Nee... Brother Aizen. Are we going to scan the entire city?" Ana no longer speaks through her mind because the barrier is already installed. For outsiders, they can only see the three rooms filled by each person if scanning it.

"Hehe. We seem to have missed one thing we should have discussed before leaving Mars." Aizen smiled as he shook his head slightly.

"What did we miss?"

"You also don't remember, Axel? Hmm... Don't we need to discuss our new surname? I don't like Maxwell's surname given by my adopted family for an obvious reason."

Aizen stated the obvious cause. He got that surname because the Maxwell family adopted him from an ordinary orphan to become a nobleman just to use his talents to their advantage.

Now the apocalypse has fallen to Earth and Aizen has been revived from his death after more than a millennium. It's hard for him to use the same surname as before.

Ana and Axel seemed to get enlightened, they had made a list of their favorite names before.

"Oh! I didn't forget, we were just focused on something else, right, Sister Axel?" Ana seemed unwilling to admit it and asked for help from Axel who nodded as if agreeing.

Aizen smiled amusedly at their behavior.

"Alright then, let's look at the list we made. Hmm... Now we have 900 surnames to choose from..."

Then, Aizen brings up a semi-transparent holographic screen in front of them, he also seems lost of words after seeing the list of names that have been made. Aren't they both too absorbed in looking for pretty names?

"Brother Aizen, how about we use the name Abigail?" Ana promoted her chosen name cheerfully while pointing to the list on the semi-transparent screen in front of them.

"Abigail? A father's joy? Well, that's me. But we can't use it." Aizen explained his opinion before switching to another name on the list.

"Master Aizen, how about Althea?" Now it was Axel's turn to promote his chosen name after the name was glimpsed by Aizen.

"Em... If I'm not mistaken it's a name in mythology. We also shouldn't use it as our surname." Aizen again explained and switched to another name.

The next activity became Ana and Axel who was leaning on Aizen's body began to promote the names of their choices, while Aizen explained some of the choices of names with their compatibility and vice versa.

Until a few moments have passed, finally Aizen felt a strong pull after seeing a name on the list.

"Ana, Axel, what do you think of this name?" Aizen asks their opinion.

"Trinity?" Ana muttered with a confused face.

"Yes... Trinity. Three in one. Doesn't that really describe us who are currently in one system." Aizen explained to Ana who was staring at him.

Axel just smiled sweetly that her chosen name seems to be chosen as their surname. She has made predictions about the surname that Aizen will choose, whereas that surname actually has a meaning far deeper than it appears.

"Trinity... Trinity... Aizen Trinity, Anastasia Trinity, and Axel Trinity. Um! This is perfect." Ana exclaimed with delight, pleased with their new surname.

"Axel? How about you?"

"I think it's amazing, I like that surname." Axel nodded in agreement with the choice that seemed to have been determined with an inexplicable smile carved on her face.

"In that case, this has already been decided. Our current surname which is formed from three people will use the name Trinity." Aizen declared an agreed decision.

"... Are we going to add new family members soon?" Ana hears the declaration with another meaning, she looks at Aizen with a slight frown.

"Seven artificial human auxiliary units will soon be revived with their new bodies, won't they be joining us tomorrow?" Aizen only answers lightly as if he understands what Ana is worried about.

Hearing the meaning in question turned out to be only a pointless concern, Ana sighed a little and returned to her normal self.

She is fine with the seven Axel companions who will join their families because their roles, duties and loyalty are guaranteed.

However, it is different if there are people who try to get into her little family, like things that happened on Mars before. Even though the history of 'that woman' has been thoroughly examined using their system, Ana still needs to check face to face with the person in question and exchange words in 'warm conversation'.

After getting the green light from Ana beforehand, 'that woman' in question also still has to work hard to get into her little family.

Ana just wants most of her daddy's attention to be given to her, and only to herself... Well, Axel is included too, so now to Ana and her sister.

She doesn't even care about what Aizen will do and how many family members they will have in the future, but as long as those desires can be fulfilled, she will be fine.

She always wants to be pampered with a splash of her daddy's attention every time.

"Alright, now help me gather information in the city."

Feeling all done with this topic, Aizen entered the main topic of the day that needed to be done to prepare for tomorrow which was also the reason for their coming here.

"What method will we use to conduct surveillance for information gathering?" Axel asked for a decision.

"The nano reconnaissance unit can do their job well. Ana, you are responsible for the western city, me for the northern part, and Axel takes care of the rest."

Hearing Aizen's orders, Axel took out eight nano reconnaissance units from [Soul Realm], their size was very small and seemed invisible even though they were in Axel's palm.

Aizen and Ana immediately control the two units to the intended location, while Axel controls the four units to the remaining areas by marking the main plaza in the center of the city as the central point.

They control the surveillance unit manually using their awareness.

Unlike humans on Mars who only increase their bodily abilities and energy strength, cultivators at Zavier cultivate their spirit power, so automatic surveillance using artificial intelligence is not the right choice.

Certain spirit power users can be very sensitive to the things around them, no need to mention the thing that is watching over them.

Aizen, Ana, and Axel must cover the reconnaissance unit intent while digging up some information around the city without anyone knowing.

In the late afternoon, eight nano reconnaissance units flew in the air in various directions on a mission to find some information on various sides of the city regarding tomorrow's event. The cultivators they saw earlier looked very lively and excited about something.

Aizen had predicted that the presence of many cultivators coming to this city would not be strange considering the entrance to the hidden realm that they detected earlier appeared near this city.
