Chapter 271 The Not possible Quest for True Peace

Nearly a lightweight yr away, I used to be floating above Mercury as Daybreak was getting management over the planet. I had advised her that I used to be going to do it, however she advised me that this was her job and that she might deal with it.

“How are issues happening there?” I requested however did not hear something at first.

[I should be able to get a hold of it soon, but I think this planet is dead.]

“That’s positive. I had assumed as a lot. Simply get the core spinning once more, and that may begin the seismic exercise on the floor. That must be sufficient to have it primed for my takeover after my first loss of life.”

[Are you scared of dying?]

“No, as a result of I’m not really dying. What I’m fearful about is that I’m going to fail fully,” I mentioned, making an attempt to take a look at the large solar that was filling me with energy, however from this distance, the solar was all-consuming.

[Fail? You have a plan, right?]

“If by plan, you imply wiping all traces of people from existence after which storing them in my thoughts for a pair hundred thousand years whereas I construct them new our bodies and a world, then positive. However I do not understand how everybody goes to really feel about this,” I mentioned, turning to face away from the solar. Even when my eyes might filter all the sunshine, it was distracting to take a look at all of the flares and explosions. Once I turned away to look out into house, every part was stable black except I squinted.

[Daniel, they don’t get a choice in this. That isn’t how it works, and you aren’t even one of them. What you are doing is for their own good, and you are giving them a chance at life. That is something that they would not have if you had not been created on this planet by the being of light. They are the ones that drew the attention of the Cleaners, not you.]

“You’ve gotten a degree, however I grew up with them, and I like a few of them simply as I do you and Gaia,” I replied as I stared into nothing. n(/0velb1n

[Then do what is best for everyone. You are this species’ only hope of survival, and even if you do win against the sisters, and the Gideons, there is no winning against the Cleaners. While in your mind, Octavia shared all the information that you know about them, and it is clear that they won’t stop. It might be better just to let them clean Earth and start new. Think about it. What is easier to track? A planet or a single person that is not even their target? The Human Race is done as a species, but they can have another chance as something else. Other species have interfered in the past to create the humans on this planet because they had been wiped out before. You are the ones that found their creator. Yet, humans are always, and will always be, looking for war. The problem is that they can not be united, but this is a problem, according to Octavia, across the universe with all intellectual species.]

A string of ideas got here to thoughts about all of the profitable races that had been surviving the fixed onslaught from the Cleaners. Every of them was dominated by a single chief. Subsequent, I used to be fed ideas of all of the failed worlds and species, however this one took extra time to course of. Few of them had been led by one individual, however the ones that did, did it too late. What I wasn’t seeing was anybody residing peacefully. These have to be fed on to me by her from inside my head. It was type of good, fairly than sorting by this all of sudden by myself.

“I’m not seeing something peaceable,” I mentioned, and I felt a psychological nod from inside.

[Yeah, Octavia said she was sure that there were some, but to keep a race like that peaceful and alive, they would have to be undetectable. There is a very good chance that there are some hiding in black holes. There is an entire system of universes inside of them, according to the files, but travel through them is impossible with any known technology. Again, these races probably wouldn’t share it. Considering your power, you might be able to survive the trip to look for some after this is all over.]

“If different individuals cannot go there, then I might simply conceal everybody there, proper?” I requested.

[I said the same thing, but Octavia said it would only be temporary. If someone figured it out once, they would figure it out again. There is also the fact that if you have one or both hearts of Alpha and Tiamat, they will be drawn to you. Defeating them both is the only way that you are ever going to live in even the shadow of peace. From what Octavia has shown me, the universe denies peace, and everyone seems to find a reason to fight about something. Humans have made that very clear since they existed, and now seeing the other species are no different. Peace really does seem like nothing more than a fairy tale from one of the books you have read.]

“I disagree. I believe that it begins with having a typical enemy and understanding the one option to survive is by working collectively,” I mentioned, considering of the connection between myself and Daybreak and the way a lot I had grown since we met.

[But therein lies the problem. Why does there always have to be an enemy for peace? That isn’t really peace; that is just bringing the conflict to someone else. You can’t stop one war and decide to start another and call it peace.]

I could not argue together with her. As an alternative, I simply stayed quiet as we stared into the inky darkness of house. With all the data Octavia had given me, I knew it was true. Even when I managed to defeat the Cleaners, one other struggle would come ultimately. It appeared like the one option to cease this cycle was by creating a very peaceable world the place everybody obtained alongside and lived with out concern or the need to combat.

“Really, peace is unimaginable,” I mentioned with closing finality.

[I don’t think you know what that word means. I am not trying to say that it isn’t possible, but violence can’t create peace because there is always a loser and a winner. Peace is such a hard thing to achieve because it means something different to everyone.]

“However what does it imply to you?” I requested as I watched an area station float by within the distance, and my thoughts drifted away from the query.

[Peace is a state where everyone can live together in harmony and feel safe just being themselves. It doesn’t matter if they disagree with each other, the difference is respected, and people listen to one another instead of shouting. In this kind of world, differences are celebrated, not feared. That is peace.]

I nodded thoughtfully, understanding now what she meant. She was proper. This was one thing that might by no means be achieved by violence as a result of then there would all the time be winners and losers. However by listening to others and respecting their variations, maybe one thing like true peace might exist.

“Hm,” I hummed as I regarded on the stars in entrance of us. “Possibly somebody will discover a manner sometime.”

[I think that I am fine now. The last jump is 2 hours away, but we don’t have an exact location on where near the sun they will arrive.]

“It’s okay. We are going to discover it will definitely,” I mentioned, my thoughts already turning away from peace and planning for the way forward for humankind.
