Millennium Tension

Chapter 5: Thank You For Being With Me

"Two hours left until Ana's awakening is over, what should we do now?" Hearing Aizen not ask questions at this point Axel tried to change the subject.

"How about we head to Mars? That way we can update the information database and I can see what this second planet is like for humans."

"No Ai, we still have to wait until Ana's resurrection before we visit Mars. Spirit and soul are difficult to understand, after all your awakening succeeded after I returned here, hoping your souls could return. In contrast to me who only moves my consciousness into a real body and gets a soul over time."

"In that case, we observe human civilization on Earth first."

[Axel Goddess] orbited a thousand kilometers from Earth in an incognito mode which makes the spaceship undetectable from outside forces. [Axel Goddess] has changed its function to become processing aids, headquarters, and weapons of destruction since Axel separates her consciousness from the main server and becomes independent in her human body.

After they were on top of what appeared to be a base for humans, Aizen activates energy sensors to Earth. It appears on the monitor a very large defense base in the center which was once the American continent, but he can only detect the strongest humans staying on base are only at [Rank 6]. Quite low for other overlords because in other areas they were around [Rank 7], even some of those that were named by Axel like a pet beforehand were already at [Rank 8].

"Axel, why are there only three humans who are at [Rank 6]? Look at those monsters ruling over that region, they are one to two realms above them." Aizen asking in wonder and he was sure even humans can't counterattack with this power.

"Ai, monsters die from food while humans die from greed, it only gets worse over time since Earth mutates." Seeing Aizen nod silently Axel smiled at him. She knows at this point Aizen doesn't really care about the fate of humans he doesn't have any relationship with, and only needs to care about the people around him that he loves.

They continued their observations and information gathering on Earth because they might come back later for exploring the Earth.

'What is the black energy that surrounds the center of the Earth? As far as I know, the energy that is always emitted is always bright red. What is the cause of Earth mutations? but where did that come from?' Aizen murmured in his mind after he focused the [Axel Goddess] sensor far to the center of the Earth.

'According to the observations of [Axel Goddess] five hundred years ago when humans searched for the origins of Earth mutations, they did not find any discrepancies. The black energy at the center of the Earth was not detected at the time, maybe this was because I had developed [Axel Goddess] at Zavier.'

"You've worked so hard all this time, your wandering so far away just to revive us as a top priority." Axel who currently receives praise and gentle caresses in her hair feel that her efforts have been paid off and are very satisfied. But she still seems to have one thing that she wants to make it happen.

"Ai, I will speak directly to your mind and I want you to have to repeat my words out loud. Can you make this happen?" Axel looked at Aizen with hope. Aizen feels that if he disagrees he will regret it, then he just nod and look at the woman sitting next to him.

'I love you.'

"I love you!" Aizen without thinking too much just repeated what he heard in his mind.

"Yes! I love you too! We will always be together from now on. I won't leave your side even if you kick me out!" Axel throw her body and hugged him with a stupid smile on her face. Due to how long she in the human body not only made her aware of many things, but she also experienced a longing for her master. The most important person to her.

Aizen just hugged her back with a smile on his face, even though he was tricked. Axel was his personal assistant and over time she was considered a family member to him. Unexpectedly turn out, what Axel desired is no longer the assistant role as before, but more than that.

After the death of his wife, Aizen did not try to find new love but instead devoted all his attention to his daughter and his research. After that Axel entered Aizen's life and can be considered as his family, no longer as a tool or auxiliary assistant as before.

'Maybe it's time for me to move on. Axel has struggled far too much and Ana... *sigh*.' Aizen murmured in his mind forgetting the ability to share their thoughts, he realized he couldn't continue to only estimate his research or pour attention to people he didn't know because there are people who really care about him.

He was aware of the wide world out there, including cultivation techniques that make his life very long if he reaches a high level. The journey to that level is not easy and full of danger.

Aizen lifted the chin of the beautiful blond woman in his arms and stared deeply at her with a loving gaze in his face.

"Thank you for being with me." Hearing this, Axel's eyes began to glaze over, the longing from the growing emotions for her master would finally be realized after all this time.

Aizen wiped her tears which finally fell on her cheeks before she hugged him tightly and as if she would never let go.

After a while, she let go of her arms and seemed to feel a little better.

"Feeling better?"

"En... Ai... Now it is nearing Ana's awakening. Let's head over there" Axel said after taking a few breaths to calm her emotions and reminded him that Ana's awakening time had arrived.

They approached a tube full of [Liquid of Life] which contained his daughter.

'Ana, my daughter. We will be together again soon. I will never leave you again.'
