Kill the Sun

Chapter 782: The Sun

'We've already come to this point, huh? I knew this would happen eventually, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon,' Nick thought.

"I don't see how there can be a more beneficial partnership than with Aegis for me," Nick answered.

The Champion just evenly looked at Nick.

Naturally, he had expected such an answer.

Hadn't he thought something very similar in the past?

The next moment, the light inside the Champion's hall became brighter and gathered above his throne.

The Champion stood up and walked down from his throne.

Then, he stopped at the spot that the Right Arm always took.

To the right of the throne.

The light gathered and formed into the shape of a human.

However, except for the shape, there was nothing else that resembled a human.

It was just a silhouette of pure white light.

The figure of light landed in front of the throne, and Nick could see it looking at him.

However, his ability told him that there was no perception coming from the light.

This was just a representation of the true owner.

Naturally, this figure could represent only one thing.

"Julian Winter," Nick heard in his mind.

The voice was warm and gentle.

"I am the Sun."

'As expected,' Nick thought.@@@@

Nick didn't answer for a couple of seconds.

"I didn't think that you were conscious," he said.

Of course, Nick knew that it wasn't truly conscious, but this was something that was expected of him to say.

'I'm most likely talking to some form of administrator from the aliens.'

"I am the protector of this world," the Sun spoke with some amusement. "How could I protect humanity without knowing what I'm doing?"

"They created me, the Sun."

"I was created as a shield for humanity from the alien race."

"The Ancient Ones hoped that humanity would recover and adapt with time."

"They hoped that, eventually, humanity would be able to develop their own warriors."

"As long as humanity had its own warriors, it wouldn't be helpless against its enemies anymore."

The Sun sighed.

"However, this required the most valuable commodity in the universe."

"Time."

"The alien race would not just sit by and watch as their enemy grows more powerful each year."

"They launch constant attacks at me."

"My energy storages emptied quicker than expected, and in order to save humanity, I needed a new source of energy."

"The Specters and Zephyx," Nick interjected.

"Correct," the Sun said. "I needed Zephyx. A lot of it. Without Zephyx, I will be destroyed, and humanity will be eradicated."

"Humanity needs powerful warriors but also a significant achievement in technology to fight the alien race."

"I have been trying to find that equilibrium for almost 50,000 years."

"The ones you call the Recovering Ones only focused on technology."

"The ones you call the Suffering Ones only focused on Zephyx."

The Sun sighed again.

"The most regrettable ones were the Enlightened Ones. They were the perfect mix,but they became impatient and tried to destroy me before they were ready."

"They didn't master Star Energy and Pure Energy yet, and if they succeeded, everyone on Earth would have died."

"I had to stop them."

Nick nodded. "I understand."

'What a load of bullshit.'
