The Strength of a Civilizations are being categorize from Type 0 to Type VI.
Type 0,
Is a civilization that harnesses the energy of its home planet, but not to its full potential just yet. This is where Earth standing before the Judgement Day, which is less than 4 billion humans survive from Re-Virus.
Type I,
Is a civilization that is capable of harnessing the total energy of its home planet. This is where human is stand, under the Supervise of High Human from the Highest Empire as one of its present. For the success of Project V.R.M. and many considering from each of High Emperor. Which is decided that ‘human shall be given the last chance’ to strive and live on.
Type II,
Is an Interstellar Civilization, capable of harnessing the total energy output of a star. This is the next stage in the evolution of a civilization, and presumes a level of technological development that allows for gigantic constructions and utmost efficiency. Dyson structures come to mind here, which are gigantic constructs meant to harness the energy of stars.
Imagine a Type II Civilization would not just build these megastructures, but also inhabit them and completely control what goes on inside them. It would control the orbit of all planets in that system, harvest asteroids and comets at its leisure, and basically consume the entire solar system. An intimidating power to behold.
This is exactly where the ‘Ignis Empire’, the ‘Aqua Empire’, the ‘Terra Empire’, the ‘Ventus Empire’, and the ‘Fulgur Empire’. Known as the ‘Fünfeck Reich’, the Five Empires that stand right beneath the Highest Empires. Although with all of their technology, under the Highest Empires Rank, they were considering as the Lowest Rank.
Type III,
Is a Galactic Civilization, capable of inhabiting and harnessing the energy of an entire Galaxy. A type III civilization would span the entire galaxy, colonizing and controlling numerous systems. It would be able to harness, store and use the energy output of all stars within that galaxy.
Such a civilization would use planets like building blocks, being able to move planets from one solar system to other, merge solar systems, merge stars, absorb supernova, and even create stars. The galaxy is their playground, and everything in it becomes a toy.
This is where the ‘Bestia Empire’ stand, one among ‘Vier Stärkstes Reich’, the Four Stronger Empire. Although they have the most advanced technology, they still keep their tradition very well.
Type IV,
Is a Universal Civilization, capable of harnessing the energy of the whole Universe. This civilization would be Super-Galactic, able to travel throughout the entire universe, and consume the energy output of several, possibly all galaxies.
It would also be capable of projects of gargantuan proportions, such as manipulating space-time and tinkering with entropy, thus reaching immortality on a grand scale. An essentially indestructible and highly utopian civilization.
This is where the ‘Spriggan Empire’ stand, one among ‘Vier Stärkstes Reich’, the Four Stronger Empire. Although immortality is on their reach, none of their people wish for it, since death is also part of life circle.
Type V,
Is a Multiverse Culture, capable of harnessing the energy of multiple Universes. Welcome to metaphysics, leave your common sense at the door, and count your strings before entering.
Since there is no doubt a child of the increased popularity of string theory, Type V Civilization would outgrow its own universe. It would span countless parallel universes, being able to manipulate the very structure of reality. Although it hard to imagine in practical terms, there is 2 Highest Empire who have reach this Type V Civilization.
The ‘Lux Empire’, and the ‘Tenebris Empire’, one among ‘Vier Stärkstes Reich’, the Four Stronger Empire.
Including the ‘Bestia Empire’, and the ‘Spriggan Empire’, the ‘Vier Stärkstes Reich’ are being considering as the Highest Rank.
Type VI,
Is a civilization that even more abstract to explain by a mere word. Type VI Civilization exists outside of time and space, and is capable of creating universes and multiverses, and destroying them just as easily. It’s similar in concept to a Deity.
It’s hard to imagine a story with such a civilization, since its perfection and indestructible nature would offer little conflict potential. Unless, of course, you’re a lower type civilization waiting to be chewed, swallowed, and digested by one such Type VI monstrosity.
And yet that kind of Civilization do exist.
The ‘Mors Empire’, the ‘Vitae Empire’, and the ‘Cero Empire’, also known as the ‘Drei Himmlisches Reich’, the Three Celestial Empire. With the ‘Cero Empire’ stand on the top as the Emperor of the Highest Empire.
Although they have such Type VI Civilization, they never play as a God or Deity, and for them, life is precious. That is why when the ‘Fünfeck Reich, the ‘Five Empires’ wage war on each other for their own greed. The ‘Drei Himmlisches Reich’, the Three Celestial Empire, decide to obliterate them.
“…and for your information, I’m the First Princess of Cero Empire, Aileas A. Mukoiwa, and Agio R. Mukoiwa is none other than the Third Prince of the Cero Empire.”
Aileas said explaining the whole truth before and after the Judgement Day, that is also known as the Void Century. An Era without any prior memory or knowledge of what happens in the past, and yet no one pointed that flaw.
With the help of Aileas Petal Flowers as its core, she projected everything that she explained to Mia while show her the whole history. Making it a lot easier for her to understand, though it doesn’t change the fact that it’s quite heavy matter, even for Mia herself.
“By the way, did you know that Michele R. Shelenova, Paavo R. Shelenova mother is the Third Princess of Vitae Empire. Meanwhile his father, Reigen A. Excesserunt is the Youngest Prince of Mors Empire.”
Ariel said telling Mia with exciting as she continues.
“Despite the difference between their Family Ranks is pretty clear, not to mention both of them are coming from different Highest Empire. By the end of the day, they have the most romantic wedding ever, or so what I heard from Ria-Sama. But what I’m exciting the most is, although their story is similar to Romeo and Juliet, both families didn’t care about Rank or whatever it is. ‘As long as they love each other and could bring happiness to one to another, that is more than enough’, they said. That is so great and romantic, don’t you think so too, Mia.”
“…Ye-yeah. I think that is great too.”
Mia said, trying to process every important information she just learns as she acts as if she is listening to Ariel. Though, she is not very good at it, especially when there are more important things to think, after learning all the truth.
“…Hm, Michele? Now that you mention it, the first time I saw her, I thought she would be the one who made Agio Pair of Rings return. Though turn out, it’s not the case, huh.”
Aileas said as she trying to remembering Michele R. Shelenova, since Aileas wouldn’t even try to remember people name or face as long as they don’t matter to her.
“……About that, Aileas-Sama, I did like to…”
“Mia-san, didn’t I already told you that you don’t need to overly polite when talking with me?”
Aileas said as she cutting short Mia words before she finishes.
“…Y-yes, Aileas-san.”
“Good. Now, what did you want to ask Mia-san?”
Aileas said with smile.
“Hmm, about the Pair of Rings that belong to Agio, that now I’m wearing one, while the other one, Agio himself wear it. There is something that I don’t understand though, what do you mean by I’m the reason for these Pair of Rings shattered, and the reason for it return to original shape?”
Mia asks pondering the very question that made her rather confused than shock for learning.
“…Mia, what do you know about ‘Multiverses’?”
Aileas asks without any smile on her face.
“Hm, the multiverse is a hypothetical group of multiple universes. Together, these universes comprise everything that exists: the entirety of space, time, matter, energy, information, and the physical laws and constants that describe them. Or at least that is what is written here.”
Mia said pointed her finger to her smartphone.
“For a basic knowledge, I think that is more than enough. Although the multiverse itself is much more complex than what you think they are. And believe me, when the ‘University’ give you an assignment to ‘created the multiverse’ as the final exam, and maintained for 30 years, while accelerate the time around 7 to 9 billion lights year is so damn annoying and difficult!”
Aileas said slightly got annoyed the more she talking about her time when she is still a college. Seeing that, Mia couldn’t help but got a little bit scared, at the same time Ariel just smile watching all that happening while saying ‘Ara, Ara’.
“…Oh, we off the track. Anyway, did you know, that even though there are millions of multiverses under the Highest Empire, only a certain few have the Five Empire in it. While the rest are either normal or sub-species included, that would be depends on those who were given a task on. But that is not important right now, the important thing is that the human who live within every multiverse has the same appearance to one to another.”
“……Eh?!!”
Mia said with surprised.
“And for the record, Agio is my real brother, in both flesh and soul. But at the same time, he is not.”
Aileas said while she holding, and look into her empty mug, as her Flower Petals shone brightly, ready to shows whatever Aileas wish for Mia to know.
Within the Highest Empires, there is no issue for an adopted-son or adopted-daughter to be the next head of the family. The main reason is because they have the technology to make their worry over the bloodline gone. These technologies include:
- Genetic Transfusion Exchange
Using the most advanced technology to exchange the blood and genetic. For example; the person has blood type A, with Genetic Transfusion Exchange they can turn their blood type into blood type B.
It’s mostly being used by the Royal Family who adopted a child by mixing the blood, and genetic from the adoptive parent to the adopted child (to keep the lineage).
Only the Royal Family from the Highest Empires can use them, unless the situation is really needed, the used are under a strict control.
- Genetic Transplanting Clone
Being use for those who can’t have a baby or trying to keep their descendant without adopting by mixing the blood and genetic sample from both couple that will injected to the womb to grow or grow inside the capsule.
“…Agio R. Mukoiwa, my sweet little brother, is originally came from one of many Multiverse that were destroyed. By using Genetic Transfusion Exchange, he become my real brother.”
Aileas said while explaining what she means by shows Mia these kinds of process.
“So, is that what you mean by you can throw away your human-side anytime but refuse to do so, Ariel-san?”
“Ara, by the same principle, yes, that is how it goes. Though, the older you get, the more dangerous and less chance for you to survive while undergoing the Genetic Transfusion Exchange Procedure.”
Ariel said explaining the reason why the Highest Empire keep watch the Genetic Transfusion Exchange Procedure.
“…But Aileas-san, what do you mean by his universe destroyed? Is it related to me?”
“No. It’s not. You don’t have to worry about it, if anything I can say, it was related to Agio instead. And just like what I said earlier, I will tell you everything, because you deserve to know. But from now on, the history that I’m about to tell you is related to Agio Darkest History. And I can promise you, it’s not something pleasant at all. Do you wish to continue knowing this?”
Aileas said staring at Mia with serious expression and yet, gentle at the same time.
“…To be honest, I don’t know. I don’t even know the first thing about him. I mean, not all truth is meant to revealed, some are better stay hidden. And what exactly do you mean, when you said I deserve to know all of this, Aileas-san?”
“…You will understand everything once you learn his history, but one thing for sure, Agio himself will eventually tell you about his history. Whether you hear it from me or from Agio, everything is just a matter of time.”
“Now you mentioned him, where is Agio? It already passes noon.”
Mia asks while wondering Agio whereabout.
“Oh, I sent him to Japan, to make some errands for me. He can comeback anytime soon, but looks like he understands my intention, so he stay put.”
“…Anytime soon? What do you mean, Aileas-san?”
“It means exactly what Aileas-Sama saying, Mia-san. For starter, do you think Agio-Sama would leave you behind without any protection or precation?”
Ariel said as she taking away the empty mugs on the table.
“The moment we coming through from the front door, Ria-Sama should immediately noticed that, and reported back to Agio-Sama for the next second. And since Agio-Sama understand Aileas-Sama intention, and there wouldn’t much different whether Agio-Sama or Aileas-Sama will be the one telling you his history, Agio-Sama decide to stay and give us time, Mia-san.”
“……I, I see.”
Mia said being taking aback while looking at the direction to the front door. As she notices the door slowly glowing purple as if it notices that it being stared at by Mia.
(Ugh, I guess Ria-san is not exactly a normal Artificial Intelligence, huh.)
Mia thought with a little bit a cold sweat.
“…Aileas-Sama, it’s already passes noon, should I prepare lunch for you?”
“Sure. We can continue this over lunch, or end it here, so we can have a nice lunch, all is depending on Mia herself.”
“…Ara, couldn’t agree more with that statement.”
Ariel said with a smile while looking at Mia.
“The-then, I did like to know. I did like to learn everything, if that is the price I need to pay to understand everything that related to me and Agio.”
“Chuckle…What a wonderful answer, as expected of the woman that Agio choose to be his bride.”
“Ara, ara, it’s nice to be young.”
“…Don’t speak as if you were the oldest one here, Ariel!!”
Aileas said slightly got annoyed by Ariel attitude, while at the same time Mia couldn’t retort to say anything since she also agree with what Aileas said.
***
Among the Highest Empires, the Bestia Empire and the Spriggan Empire are the only two Highest Empires who unable to access to the multiverse. Neither created nor destroyed the multiverse, yet neither of them is jealous or greed over the other. Keeping peace and harmony in check, not for them but those who live under them.
Meanwhile the Lux Empire, the Tenebris Empire, the Mors Empire, the Vitae Empire, and the Cero Empire. Whose capability is by harnessing the very foundation of the multiverse, whether created or destroyed the multiverse. And even then, none of them play a part or act as if they were Deity.
They created the multiverse, they watch over that multiverse for some times, and let them grow by themselves. But even then, none can last forever. For their own civilization are the very reason for their own destruction.
As for the Highest Empires, they just cleaning up what leaves behind. Most of them, they would be visiting the dying universe from 7 to 14 days before the apocalypses, following with the destruction of the universe.
The same fate happens to the universe where Agio originally born from.
Before he lives as the Third Prince of the Cero Empire, in his universe, he was lives as the King of Remote Country. A title that given to him as the youngest son of the previous King.
Even then, under his leadership, the Remote Country that has nothing, slowly but steady shows their grow. Resulting the resentment of the noble and the neighboring country are unavoidable.
But even with everything that happens, Agio found himself a lovely wife, and build a harmony family that he was wish for.
Knock, knock.
“…Come in.”
Agio said while he doing his paperwork on his desk, as his wife bringing tea for him.
“…You look as busy as ever, my dear.”
“And you look as beautiful as ever, Amy.”
Agio said with a gentle smile.
Amiru Rosenetta, the Queen of the Remote Country, is the one and only woman Agio love, aside from his two daughters and son. With her reddish long-layered-wave hair, and her two beautiful blue eyes, it wouldn’t be a surprised if she was called the ‘Most Beautiful Queen’ ever in the Central Pillar of the Entire Kingdom.
And yet, rather than being known as the ‘Most Beautiful Queen’, she was rather known as the ‘Red Queen’ or the ‘Red Witch’. An awful nickname, for her hair and eyes color combination are deemed as evil. Even within her own family, no one think of her as nothing but another evil being.
Until she meets Agio, for he is the very first man who told her, how beautiful her hair and eyes are. The very first man who love her for who she actually are, and the very first man, who give nothing but happiness to her life.
“Sigh… You shouldn’t push yourself too hard.”
Amiru said while giving a shoulder massage to Agio.
“Well, it couldn’t be help, there is really a lot of things that need to be… Auch!!”
Agio said in pain before he could finish all his words. Meanwhile, Amiru got a little angry toward Agio, knowing his personality and his way of thinking, it made her slightly got mad.
“…My Dear Husband, didn’t I already tell you this; ‘Do…Not…Push…Yourself…Too…Much…’”
Amiru said with her smile, although her eyes are saying the opposite.
“…Ye-yeah, I know, but you know…Auch…auch!”
“Should I put more pressure on the massage, Dear?”
“Sigh…I understand. Forgive me, Milady.”
“Glad to hear that.”
Amiru said with a smile, as her mood got better since as Agio himself understood very well that he just made Amiru, and his children to worried over him once again.
“…Besides, why don’t you ask the current King of the Central Pillar of the Entire Kingdom for help? He is your big brother, right?”
“Unfortunately, I can’t carelessly do so, Amy.”
“Why not?”
“Because as his younger brother, I may ask for his help. But, as the current King of the Remote country, it’s the same as giving the current King of the Central Pillar an order, and that is treason.”
Agio said while holding Amiru hand on his shoulder.
“Not to mention the Noble Faction, the King Faction, and the Rebel Faction that led by my oldest brother, is currently on a tight spot. One wrong mistake, and everything will led to nothing but chaos.”
“…I know, but that doesn’t mean you should do it by yourself. You are not alone, we are also here to support you, Dear.”
Amiru said while hugged Agio from behind.
“And for started, you should get some rest now! You can continue this pile of paperwork tomorrow again, there is no need to rush things that can be postponed. After all, there is only one of you, and no matter what we trying to do, we are nothing more than a mere human.”
“Thanks, Amy. I needed. And I guess I should take that offer.”
“You are welcome, Dear.”
Amiru said with a smile.
“By the way, before we head to bed, should we send our children to bed together? It been a while ever since you tell them a bedtime story, or kiss them on their forehead, you know.”
“Sure, why not.”
Agio said with a gentle smile, as he enjoys every moment he has to spend with his family.
Hoping that this happiness would never end.
Wishing that the smile of his family and his own people would never gone.
And praying that the nature would protect them from the disaster.
But unfortunately.
None of them are granted.
To be continue.
