Infinitium

(Day 167) July 16, 2036, Earth

Adam’s luck came into play at that moment. The Vortex could have opened anywhere in the Multiverse. This time it opened 20 feet above the tarmac of Lynden Pindling International Airport on the island of Nassau in the Bahamas in his Universe.

Thor had been busy keeping track of Humanity and the Lexi as well as everything else in the 30,000 Light-year radius he now controlled when the nanites on Earth reported that a vortex had opened depositing pieces of buildings and a figure covered in shadows that soon turned into a mature woman and Johnathan? Verifying that it was indeed Johnathan in a Picosecond the nanites surrounding Johnathan had identified themselves and begun the process of upgrading to the latest updates Thor had created. Thor also noted that some of the items Johnathan carried seemed to be impervious to Nanites, much like the Adamantium ring was. The female however did not have nanites, which was quickly remedied as the nanites that surrounded her invaded every single atom of her body. She also had items that the nanites couldn’t invade.

Adam watched Desirae land roll and stagger for a second. She only paused for a few moments before she turned and started to move toward him as he dropped towards the Tarmac in Nassau. Adam also noted that his personal interface was inaccessible and that all of his quantum links were active again. As he fell toward Desirae he smiled.

“That idiot was smiling.? Smiling? Oh, she was going to enjoy snuffing the life out of this prick” she thought as adjusted her aim and stabbed directly where his heart would be before he landed and could attempt to dodge. Or she tried to. As she lunged forward, she stopped 3 inches short of her target, unable to move.

Adam landed lightly and said out loud “Thanks, Thor.”

“You’re welcome and welcome back,” Thor’s voice said from the air nearby.

“Give me a second and we’ll catch up.”

“Understood.”

Adam ordered the Nanites at a thirty-foot radius to go opaque on the outside and light the area on the inside then turned to Desirae and commanded the nanites in Desirae to strip herself of all clothing and items. He instructed them to have her remove everything from her body and place it at his feet through his interface to his technology. When she was completely naked he moved in front of her and said, “At this moment you are probably raging in that little head of yours wondering why you removed all your equipment and stripped down to your birthday suit” he paused for a moment “Sorry, that’s a reference to how you were born, naked. Anyway. It would seem that your action to save yourself opened a rift between your universe and my original universe. Guess which Universe we’re in?”

Desirae was indeed filled with rage, if she could only move she would gut this man where he stood. She had done worse to men who had looked at her the wrong way.

“By the look in your eyes, I can see that you believe you can break free. That is not the case and if I was as evil as you, I would show you exactly how much control I have over you. I control your body. Anything I want you to do, you will do. In fact, I can make you say anything I want you to say,” Adam said as he sent a command through the nanites.

“Johnathan please use me as your sex toy. I am an evil bitch and need to be punished for all the innocent souls I’ve taken throughout my life.” Desirae said as her mind listened in horror to the words coming out of her mouth. What magic was this? She struggled harder to no avail.”

“Luckily for you, I am not an evil or sadistic person, at least not to women in that way. Nor do I want to humiliate you more than is necessary for you to understand that here, in my Universe, your 4,897 levels mean jack and shit to anyone here. Shoot, my 30,000 class levels are just as useless. Sure, you’re stronger than just about anyone here. You’re also quicker, but not quicker than Thor and not faster than what is controlling every fiber of your being.”

“30,000 levels? He was lying. He was lying, right? “ Desirae thought

“The only way to open your personal interface here again is to die. If you are under level 5,000 your soul heads to The Eye and goes where souls go. If you are level 5,000 you can choose to become a Divine. I, however, didn’t die and ended up in your Universe so yes I’m now level 30,000 and no I am not a Divine. I could snuff you out and would not be breaking any rules which brings us to the question I’m sure you’re asking yourself.”

“Why haven’t you killed me?” she thought.

“Why haven’t I killed you?” he said.

“One, you have the information I might need, and two, if you provide that information willingly I might bring you with me when I head back to your Universe or allow you to go home at some future date. For now, though, you are stuck in this universe, which you will need to learn about.”

“Thor, set up a comfortable Isolated, no doors in our out, room wherever doing so will take the least amount of time then if you please take her there and release her. Start basic videos on the history of this planet and then give her very basic science classes so she can understand the fundamentals. In the beginning, you’ll probably have to explain everything to her as she has no idea what technology is or how to use it. Once she starts to catch on though she’s to have access to whatever food she desires or wishes to try and T.V. and the internet though she is to have no outgoing access. She needs to learn about this Universe before she can even possibly blend in plus she is by definition an Assassin and enjoys killing, just to kill. That mentality will not work in our society. Though she could be suited for some of the contingencies I set up. Eventually, she’ll need to learn how to use modern-day weapons. if she’s to be useful in those instances. When that happens. Put her on a planet by herself.”

A Portal opened and Desirae stepped through as Thor asked “Is she truly that dangerous?”

“Hold on, I’m coming to you,” he said and then Adam portaled to the core of Thor’s consciousness, the copy of his brain he made when he started this crazy journey. Adam reached out and touched Thor with his hand and the Soul Link that Michael had said he had with Thor became fully active for the first time. Images flooded each of their consciousness and their minds merged. In a second Johnathan knew everything that had happened in the last 3 years on Earth and Thor knew everything that Johnathan, Adamantadine, and Adam had done in the last 167 days. Johnathan also became aware of just how vast the Nanite web had become as he was able to finally perceive it as Thor did. Thor also benefited as his processing power gained access to intelligence and wisdom over 10,000. Areas that he had not been able to overcome. Within 5 seconds Thor/Johnathan figured out how to make quantum nanites that could interact with all subatomic particles and survive in all environments, including the theoretical environments of black holes. He’d also deduced that if his theories were correct he’d be able to open portals to the Universe Adam was visiting with a time dilation to at least allow Adam to step back through if he wanted. Information was passed back and forth in moments and Johnathan knew what he had to do.

A minute later Johnathan removed his hand as a duffle bag containing Desirae’s equipment portaled in by his feet. He picked up the duffle bag and stepped through a second portal to Nu Draconis and then a third portal to his library in Adamantadine Tower on the first floor to find Eric and Adaline reading near each other they both looked up.
