Lord of Cosmos

Chapter 87: An Old Conflict


Noor and Keno stared with unyielding astonishment and amazement as they listened to this strange person, waiting and wondering what truth he was talking about, since they already knew the whole truth.

"For long centuries, many creatures have lived in this universe. Some lived alone, isolated from the other planets in internal conflicts with their own kind until they destroyed themselves with their own hands for not understanding each other and the differences that God had given to each of them. But the main reason lay in the people who control the destiny of these peoples. You humans call them rulers, kings, presidents, politicians, and many other names. And so the other creatures gave them names that are similar in meaning to your names. And with the foolishness of these rulers and their infinite greed, this led to the annihilation of many races without them discovering a glimpse of the truth of this universe and the truth of the strange creatures and secrets it holds that ignite the imagination, the mind, and the heart. But at the same time, there were races that united and never fought and cooperated with each other to reach the highest levels of science and discovery. And so, by uniting their efforts, they were able to reach the discovery of other planets and other lives. Some went to visit these planets and creatures that were unfamiliar to them, and the other races met them with aggression and fear because they were strange creatures that had nothing to do with their tangible material world. So great wars occurred between them that led to the destruction of some civilizations by others and the emergence of cosmic colonial powers. The wars and conflicts between the advanced creatures continued for a long time, and only a few were able to accept the many differences between them and the other aliens who came to visit their planet. But the great danger that includes everyone has always been a major reason for cooperation. And so, some planets allied with each other against greater threats that came from creatures of great power and influence in this universe, and conflicts occurred between other creatures thousands of years ago that have not yet ended, and the enmity and hatred between them have continued to this day. But in the midst of all these circumstances, a new and promising race emerged, to which all eyes turned. A race that everyone believed would restore balance to the universe and unite it by ending the ongoing disputes and conflicts, uniting the universe under its command. This race was called the Lunix, meaning rich in knowledge and wisdom. And this name is because they know many things that other minds in the universe could not reach."

Keno's jaw dropped, and he stared at Noor, who was looking at him with a disturbed expression at the same time. Noor said to himself, "Aren't these Lunix the golden-colored robots who desire feelings like other creatures?"

The speaker on the screen continued, "The Lunix were a civilized and highly intelligent race. They never fought among themselves except on rare occasions, and they did everything in a certain order and set a measure for everything—no more and no less. They knew very well that anyone among them who deviated from the system—which God had given them—would lead them to endless wars and conflicts. For who knows the right way to live other than the creator of life? And so these special creatures continued to build huge civilizations and spread a terrible amount of knowledge throughout the universe. They found an explanation for everything, and they were the best at understanding this universe and seeing the wisdom of its creation, its terrible perfection, and the harmony and consistency that distinguishes it. They were able to reach all corners of the universe, spread peace, remove ignorance from the creatures, and urge them to contemplate the universe and its secrets until they saw how trivial their conflicts were and that there was a better way for everyone to reach wisdom and peace. Of course, those with corrupt souls fought them, but they were stronger and defeated them all in many wars. But the best thing that happened was that they used their wisdom and knowledge to change the evil ones and make them the most loving creatures of good and peace. And this is the special thing about them that made them the shining light in this dark universe. But there were also powerful races whose intentions were centered on colonialism and division in order to achieve their own private interests. These races were called the Zurix. They are very ancient races that were responsible for order in the universe a long time ago, but time wore on, and their hearts hardened, and they became corrupt and became one of the most corrupt creatures in the universe, after they were the light that illuminated it at one time. And it seems that the same thing is happening now to the Lunix; they have become weak and have forgotten the wisdom of their ancestors, which has enabled the Zurix to overcome them and their world. And now this is the part of the truth that belongs to this tower. Go to the next tower if you want to complete the story."

The screen turned off, and silence prevailed. Both Noor and Keno were completely lost in thought, contemplating what they had heard in an attempt to comprehend it. Suddenly, Keno broke the silence. "There's something wrong! Aren't the Lunix and the Zurix the warring robots on this planet?! Or could it be that they know this old story and named themselves after it?! If I analyze what we've heard, the Lunix are the good guys, like Leonis, and the Zurix are the bad guys, or we don't know what they are yet! But I can predict that they are the ones who follow the other, destructive side, and they are the silver, emotionless robots on this planet."

Noor's eyes stared with great turmoil, and his soul had darkened from all these strange things he had heard since he woke up in this tower. He said in a trembling voice, "Oh my god, I feel like we're in a huge spiral. We weren't even sure there were other creatures, and some thought we were alone in this vast universe, and now all these stories about strange creatures are coming all at once! But if we analyze this story, perhaps the robots' great intelligence made them come to this story, and they named themselves after these ancient, powerful creatures."

Keno was silent for a moment and thought, but he felt his questions were increasing. He had found nothing since he woke up on this planet but questions and confusion. After a period of silence, he said, "It doesn't matter now. We'll find out the rest of the truth by accessing all the towers. And lucky for you, I'm with you. And because all the towers are connected to each other, this will enable me to access them now without us having to go to all of them. But first, we have to close the protective shield, or more precisely, the part for this tower, which will allow Leonis's friends from the other continent to enter our city to help us repel the approaching Zurix army. And as Leonis told me, this tower closes the eastern part of the shield, which will allow the Lunix to cross the bridge connected to the two continents."

Keno was sure that Leonis was hiding something of the truth, as his words were sometimes strange and contradictory, but he would not have opened the tower for him if the Enix member had not asked him to. His confusion also increased about the truth of the Enix and their purpose in doing all this.

Noor nodded in agreement without saying a word. Keno began to press the panel and access some data in a strange, distinctive language. Finally, he sighed. "Alright, I'm done. Mission accomplished. I was also able to access the eight towers and download all the other recorded videos. But let's get out of here first and see the results of our work, then we'll watch them later."

Noor felt relieved by this, but he thought a lot about what he had heard until he was awakened from this daydream by Keno's voice as he pulled him toward the elevator.

They headed out of the tower, and the sun was at its zenith, casting its warm rays on them. As soon as the two young men came out of the tower, they found someone waiting for them; a cloaked person and another with a huge build. Noor quickly drew his pistol and aimed it at the cloaked man. The large man said, raising his hand to calm him, "Easy, boy. We are the ones who saved you in the forest. Don't you remember us from the tests?"

Noor looked at them with a skeptical gaze, then memories began to flow back into his mind at once. He smiled as he remembered them. "Ah... Sairiyon and Ivankov."

Ivanov laughed a laugh that did not suit his huge body. "You're still as foolish as ever. It's Sairi and Ivanov."
