Harem In The Intergalactic Apocalypse

Chapter 240 Without Blowing Anything Up

I reached forward, and the man handed me his hand, but Fang and some guards with guns came running into the room.

Instantly, metal vines burst from the walls disarming not only the guards but Fang as well. All the weapons were melted and absorbed into the vines, and the guards all stared in horror, but I narrowed my eyes on Fang.

"What the hell are you doing? We need those weapons to defend ourselves against what is coming!" Fang shouted, and I just shook my head.

"No, you don't," I said plainly, and then vines burst all over the base in every building absorbing anything that was a weapon while scanning it all before destruction. There were screams coming from all over the place, but this was more of people's shock than any kind of pain. "You no longer need them because I will be fighting from now on with my team. If you or anyone else with extraordinary gifts are looking to join, I will be leaving a Great Tree where you can talk to my people. The world is changing, and I don't have time to let people adjust, or billions of people are going to have to die instead of millions," I said as I grabbed the nameless man's hand, and he became silver and melted into me, making everyone scream. Then Octavia did the same, and two people passed out as the others caught them.

"I-I, uh, sorry. I didn't mean to offend you, but it is clear that you are not joking. If we do not want to help, what then? I know that you are in a hurry, but I must know this!" Fang demanded, and I smiled.

"Whatever you want. I really need more people working on entertainment, sports, and other activities. They are going to be pivotal to keeping the peace, I think, but there is nothing saying you have to do anything," I explained, and Fang turned to her guards and waved them off. Some of them still seemed to hold their posture and saluted, but others looked less steady, and some were traumatized as they turned away with haunted expressions.

"Can I come with you to the Power Focuses? I don't understand why these things are important, but I also know that you are busy," Fang asked, and I nodded as we left the room and started to walk in the direction my map was guiding me.

"You have no idea how important they are, but I need to get ahold of two of them while leaving the last one here. They are power sources for special generators that make infinite power, but the one we have is an older model. I am trying to get it working while hoping not to blow up the planet," I explained, and Fang gave me a shocked look, but I put up my hand. "Don't worry, it is more of a joke, mostly. The important thing will be to see just how much power it will output. Do you know how much it takes to power everything on earth currently?"

"No, we do not have that information," Fang said with a shake of her head, and I sighed deeply. That figures.

"Everyone uses way too much power for what they need currently. If you want to help, then find me someone who is good with numbers so we can start making a difference," I explained as we reached the door to where the Power Focuses was being held according to Octavia's map in my mind. I placed my hand on the door handle but didn't open it yet as I looked back at Fang with a serious expression on my face. "We need to start making some real changes if we want things to get better."

With that said, I opened the door and walked into the room while Fang followed close behind me. There were two people inside the room, and they both looked up at me with wide eyes as I stepped further into the room. On a table in the middle of the room was what I was looking for, and I walked over to it before staring at the two strange-looking devices.

"These are the Power Focuses," Fang said as she stepped up next to me and stared at the two devices with a confused look on her face. She must not have spent much time around them, but she also wasn't the one originally in command. There was a story there, but it was for another time.

"Yes, but I only need these two. The other can stay here for now," I explained before reaching out and picking up both of the devices. It was surprisingly light, and I could feel a faint tingling sensation coming from it that made my hair stand on end slightly. The designs were intricate, and I could tell that they were not of this world. "Octavia, can you show me how to use these?"

[No, Daniel.] Octavia replied as she stepped out from my body and looked at one of the devices in my hands. Then she turned back towards me with a serious expression on her face. "You need to be careful with these things because they are very powerful. You are going to have to scan them and send them to Sofia. She will be able to find someone that can help with them."

"I don't think that I can ever get used to that," Fang said as I looked over at her and the two other shocked scientists that had been silent since we arrived.

"Yeah, we are a weird bunch,'' I said as I scanned the power focus, and my system brought up some information on it.

[Scanned Item: Power Focus Crystal and Containment Chamber]

[Item Description: A powerful energy source that can be used to fuel special generators. The crystal is from the planet Xea, and the containment chamber was created by an unknown species. The crystal is infused with pure energy, and it is theorized that it could power an entire planet if used correctly. Tampering with the device is not recommended without proper training.]

"Sofia, I need you to find someone that knows how to use these things. They are from another planet and are really powerful. I don't want to mess with them until we know more," I said as I sent the information over to her before gently placing the devices back on the table.

"This is what you went for, Papi? They don't look too dangerous, but do a deep scan and send me the results so I can get the full scan to pull apart it and see how to transport it. If it is as dangerous as we think, we don't want to go too fast of doing something that could cause it to have a reaction," Sofia explained, and I nodded as I reached my hand over the top and did a powerful and penetrating deep scan to get an inside view of the crystal, but the numbers didn't really make sense to me.

"Yeah, I don't understand any of this. You are going to have to help me out here," I said as I sent the information over to her, and she let out a low whistle.

"This is going to be interesting. There is so much power here that it is hard to even comprehend. We need someone who knows about this stuff, though, before we do anything else," Sofia said, and I nodded in agreement as Fang stepped up next to me with a serious expression on her face.

"We will help you any way that we can, but you have to promise not to destroy our planet in the process," Fang said plainly, and I couldn't help but chuckle at her words.

"I promise not to destroy our planet…as long as you all promise to heed the call when I tell everyone to board the arks. A war that will scour our planet is about to come, and then we are leaving this solar system. Explaining any more would just confuse you. If you want to learn more, I can send you to the Central Forest, and you will find all the answers you need to your questions," I replied with a smile on my face before turning back towards the Power Focuses. "You all should clear out of this room. I will figure out how I am going to move these, and I will see you in the Central Forest if you are willing to join us, but no pressure."

With that said, everyone in the room quickly filed out and left me alone with my thoughts as I wondered just how I was going to move two of these things by myself. Not that having another person would really help; it was more of a matter of moving them safely. I was powerful, but I was not omnipotent, and this wasn't something to be messing around with.

"Any luck yet?" I asked Sofia, who was still in my view on a screen, but I could tell she was working; I was just getting impatient.

"I am sorry, Daniel, but this is going to take some time. Even with my help, it will be a few days before we can have someone come and help you out with this. I am sorry," Sofia replied with a shake of her head as she stared at me with an apologetic look on her face. "Do you want me to come and help you?"

"No, it is okay. I will just have to wing it for now until we can get someone that knows what they are doing," I said as I sighed deeply.

I reached my hand out, and a metal vine snaked its way out of the floor and up to my wrist before stopping. Then it started to wrap tightly around the power focus before securing it in place. I did the same with the other one, and then I looked down at my hands as vines also started to wrap around them as well serving as a rope of sorts.

"Okay, now let's see if we can get these things back home without blowing anything up," I muttered to myself before taking a deep breath and concentrated on moving them in a specific way that would hopefully not cause any problems along the way.
