Chapter 264
Chapter 264
"Omniversal Gate?" Damian asked, looking at the scientist with doubt.
"That's right," the scientist said before displaying an illusory board.
The scientist drew a circle on the board before looking at Damian.
"Let's suppose this is our Omniverse," the scientist said before drawing many lines inside the circle.
"These lines represent the different timelines within this, or we could also say they are the different universes."
"But what happens is that within this bubble, all the universes follow a certain pattern. People like Captain America, Tony Stark, Hulk, mutants, Thanos, all these characters exist in these universes."
"Although in some there may be big differences regarding their personality or how they grew up, in the end, they all exist in these different universes."
"Within this bubble, you, my lord, can move with ease or even look at other universes from ours."
"But what happens outside the bubble? Maybe my lord hasn't even detected the limits of this bubble," the scientist said, looking at Damian.
"It's not like I've tried," Damian said, rolling his eyes at his smug look.
"This is not proven, but most likely, outside our bubble, there are totally different universes from ours, with different technologies, maybe even different laws of physics," the scientist said excitedly.
"And what does Anti-metal have to do with all this?" Damian asked, looking at him doubtfully.
"Unlike Vibranium, which absorbs vibrations, this metal emits vibrations."
"This unique property makes it perfect for creating dimensional openings with the right vibratory tuning," the scientist said.
"I did some small experiments and managed to create portals to other timelines and even some dimensions."
"So you want to use it to go to another bubble or Omniverse," Damian said, nodding.
"That's right, my lord. You've told me that your race doesn't exist throughout the multiverse. Maybe your race isn't from this Omniverse," the scientist said, looking at Damian.
"With this, we can find out, if you wish, your origin," the scientist said.
"Hm, I like it. What do you need?" Damian said, looking at him, clearly understanding that he needed his help or approval for something or he would have called him when everything was ready.
"I've managed to, let's say... graze the bubble, but to get through, it takes an immeasurable amount of energy," the scientist said.
"Just say it already," Damian said, rolling his eyes.
"I estimate it's necessary to gather all the energy of the system for perhaps a year or more for a round trip," the scientist said honestly, a bit disheartened by the terrifying words he had said.
"Hm, I've never limited you in any way, so what's stopping you?" Damian said, looking at him confused.
"Cortana won't deliver the energy; she's using almost all the system's energy for something, but she refused to share that information with me," the scientist complained.
"Hm, I'll talk to her, but I'm very interested in this, so don't worry, just make sure the details are in place, I don't want to get stuck in another universe," Damian said, joking.
"My lord, we must first test with probes, you can't risk doing it yourself," the scientist said, alarmed by his words.
"Then make sure it's safe," Damian said, laughing before leaving.
Damian reappeared in Cortana's location.
"Cortana," Damian said softly before her illusory figure appeared in front of him.
"Hello, Master," Cortana said, smiling at Damian.
"How are you? You've been busy lately," Damian said, having clearly noticed her absence.
"Hm, working on my new body," Cortana said, nodding.
"How's the progress?" Damian asked with curiosity.
"Hm, it's hard to say, actually it's not going as fast as I'd like," Cortana said honestly.
"I suppose you already know why I'm asking," Damian said, looking at her.
"Hm, that guy's project is quite good, I'm as interested in it as you are but what I'm doing is really important," Cortana said, looking at him.
"Alright, your body is more important, we'll just wait, but you will tell the scientist," Damian said, laughing slightly while shaking his head.
"I knew you'd understand," Cortana said, smiling contentedly.
"Don't overwork yourself, if it's going to take too long, at least create another body like the previous one," Damian said, looking at her.
"Don't worry, I won't take too long," Cortana said, reassuring him.
"Good, I'll let you work, I'm looking forward to seeing what you're working on," Damian said, shaking his head before disappearing.
Cortana floated in place before letting out a somewhat mischievous giggle; her master missed her more and more.
Now she was tempted to take her time to see how impatient her master could get, he seemed to be missing her touch.
Cortana couldn't help but blush at the thought of what her master might do when she finally finished her body.
....
Damian deliberately avoided talking to the scientist and let Cortana explain to him.
Although he was very interested in exploring other universes, especially wondering if they would be familiar to him, he wondered if there would be something like DC or some anime world.
Even with his great interest, he still had his priorities and Cortana was in a higher part.
Damian walked through the lab until he reached the upper cabin from where he could observe the entire Spartan area.
His gaze immediately noticed Laura, she was taking a sip of her drink while she was with Frank and John.
The three seemed to be taking a break from training.
Damian didn't try to listen to what they were talking about, but he did notice that Laura seemed clearly happy, her eyes had a different glow than usual.
He could only chuckle before turning around and taking the elevator to the palace.
Walking towards the kitchen, he suddenly saw a woman sitting with her back eating.
By her black hair, he immediately knew it was Jen.
Ana's hair, though the same color, was entirely different.
"Hello" Damian began as he reached Jen and put his arm around her neck.
Jen, disturbed while eating, immediately looked at Damian with annoyance.
"I heard about Kaecilius. How are you feeling?" Damian asked her.
"I'm fine, just a bit disappointed that I couldn't change that event," Jen replied, noting how unexpectedly close he was.
"I can understand how you feel," Damian said, nodding. Knowing the future, there were things he couldn't change either, though he didn't always try. It made him wonder if things like destiny truly existed.
"Do you want to do something about Dormammu? We could go and annoy him just for fun," Damian suggested with a smile.
Jen chuckled and shook her head, realizing both Cortana and Damian had the same idea.
"Actually, I'd rather browse your library. It's quite fascinating; I didn't know you had such a vast collection," Jen said, looking at him.
"Hmm, those are copies of almost all the books in the universe absorbed by the system. You could spend thousands of years reading and not finish them," Damian said, smiling.
"Though maybe you don't like digital much," he added suggestively.
"For your information, I'm quite up-to-date with technology," Jen said, giving him a slight smile.
"Oh, show me what you read on," Damian said, intrigued.
Jen made a tablet appear in her hands and showed it to Damian.
"Seriously? What year is this thing from?" Damian asked, taking the tablet and looking at Jen in disbelief.
"Hmm, I don't know, I bought it about five or six years ago, I think," Jen said, frowning slightly.
"I bought it because my previous one broke," Jen explained.
"And what do you use it for?" Damian asked curiously.
"To read news, download books, sometimes play puzzle games," Jen said, looking at the tablet.
"I'll introduce you to the future," Damian sighed, pulling out a bracelet.
He gently took Jen's wrist and placed the bracelet on her hand, which immediately shrunk to fit her size.
"This gives you deeper access to the system. Try projecting a screen," Damian said with a smile.
Jen looked at the bracelet and used her intention toward it. Suddenly, a screen similar to her tablet's appeared in front of her.
"You can control it with your mind or hands. It's more efficient than a tablet," Damian said, smiling at her surprise.
"Yes, it's quite interesting," Jen said, playing with the interface.
"I also gave you access to the system. You can view any place in the universe absorbed and spy on your naughty disciples," Damian joked.
"Is spying on people a habit of yours?" Jen asked, raising an eyebrow at him.
Simultaneously, the screen content changed, showing both of them in the kitchen.
"Thanks, it's quite fascinating," Jen said, smiling slightly.
"Hmm, glad you like it. I had forgotten to give it to you; everyone in the family has one," Damian said, smiling.
"Wow, the power of this thing is really absurd," Jen said while exploring, seeing that she could even slightly modify the weather.
"Don't stay up too late with it," Damian said, looking at her.
"I'm not a child," Jen said, rolling her eyes.
"Sure," Damian replied with a smile.
Suddenly, Damian heard footsteps approaching from behind and looked curiously to see who it was.
To his surprise, it was his favorite apprentice, Wanda.
"Hello, Master," Wanda said, smiling sweetly.
"Hello, Wanda. What a surprise to see you visiting," Damian said, smiling.
"Hmm, we haven't seen each other since the battle a few days ago," Wanda said, smiling before looking at Jen.
"Hello," Wanda greeted courteously.
"Hello," Jen nodded.
"I'll leave you two to talk. There must be an important reason for your visit. Thanks for the gift, see you later," Jen said, softly caressing Damian's cheek before leaving.
Wanda's eyebrow almost furrowed at the situation but she quickly smiled at Jen and waved goodbye.
"So? What important thing do you have to tell me?" Damian asked, amused, not expecting Jen to provoke Wanda.
"I never said I had something important to tell you," Wanda said, looking at Damian, annoyed.
"Just kidding, did you come for a visit?" Damian asked, smiling.
"Hmm, I want to stay for a few days to relax and rest," Wanda said, looking at Damian.
"Is this place your vacation center?" Damian asked, smiling.
"I can feel relaxed wherever you are," Wanda said, looking into Damian's eyes.
"Wow," Damian said, raising his eyebrows, surprised by her comment.
"Hmm, when I'm with you, my mood is always better. When your eyes are fixed on me, I can't help but feel happy," Wanda said, taking Damian's hand.
"Is it okay if I stay?" Wanda asked, looking at Damian.
Damian looked at the adorable creature in front of him in total bewilderment.
Her eyes were fixed on him with hope, and the hand holding his seemed a bit shaky, showing her nervousness.
Damian gently squeezed her hand before pulling her into a hug.
"Of course, you can stay as long as you want. But you know my situation; I have a large family, it can be a bit noisy," Damian said, softly placing his hand behind her head and whispering in her ear.
"Hmm, it's not bad to have a big family," Wanda said, resting her face against Damian's chest, her lips curved in a sweet smile.
Damian just smiled slightly, thinking this bold confession was likely caused by something else.
It's very likely that Cortana had been gossiping.
"So, let's go. I'll take you to your room. Do you want the same one you always stayed in?" Damian asked, smiling.
"Isn't that a guest room?" Wanda asked, looking at him.
"That's true, so let's find you another room," Damian said, chuckling as he took her hand.
"Hmm," Wanda nodded, gazing at their joined hands.
Damian just laughed at her behavior before walking together towards the stairs.
