Chapter 264
"Omniversal Gate?" Damian asked, looking at the scientist with doubt.
"That's right," the scientist said before displaying an illusory board.
The scientist drew a circle on the board before looking at Damian.
"Let's suppose this is our Omniverse," the scientist said before drawing many lines inside the circle.
"These lines represent the different timelines within this, or we could also say they are the different universes."
"But what happens is that within this bubble, all the universes follow a certain pattern. People like Captain America, Tony Stark, Hulk, mutants, Thanos, all these characters exist in these universes."
"Although in some there may be big differences regarding their personality or how they grew up, in the end, they all exist in these different universes."
"Within this bubble, you, my lord, can move with ease or even look at other universes from ours."
"But what happens outside the bubble? Maybe my lord hasn't even detected the limits of this bubble," the scientist said, looking at Damian.
"It's not like I've tried," Damian said, rolling his eyes at his smug look.
"This is not proven, but most likely, outside our bubble, there are totally different universes from ours, with different technologies, maybe even different laws of physics," the scientist said excitedly.
"And what does Anti-metal have to do with all this?" Damian asked, looking at him doubtfully.
"Unlike Vibranium, which absorbs vibrations, this metal emits vibrations."
"This unique property makes it perfect for creating dimensional openings with the right vibratory tuning," the scientist said.
"I did some small experiments and managed to create portals to other timelines and even some dimensions."
"So you want to use it to go to another bubble or Omniverse," Damian said, nodding.
"That's right, my lord. You've told me that your race doesn't exist throughout the multiverse. Maybe your race isn't from this Omniverse," the scientist said, looking at Damian.
"With this, we can find out, if you wish, your origin," the scientist said.
"Hm, I like it. What do you need?" Damian said, looking at him, clearly understanding that he needed his help or approval for something or he would have called him when everything was ready.
"I've managed to, let's say... graze the bubble, but to get through, it takes an immeasurable amount of energy," the scientist said.
"Just say it already," Damian said, rolling his eyes.
"I estimate it's necessary to gather all the energy of the system for perhaps a year or more for a round trip," the scientist said honestly, a bit disheartened by the terrifying words he had said.
"Hm, I've never limited you in any way, so what's stopping you?" Damian said, looking at him confused.
"Cortana won't deliver the energy; she's using almost all the system's energy for something, but she refused to share that information with me," the scientist complained.
"Hm, I'll talk to her, but I'm very interested in this, so don't worry, just make sure the details are in place, I don't want to get stuck in another universe," Damian said, joking.
"My lord, we must first test with probes, you can't risk doing it yourself," the scientist said, alarmed by his words.
"Then make sure it's safe," Damian said, laughing before leaving.
Damian reappeared in Cortana's location.
"Cortana," Damian said softly before her illusory figure appeared in front of him.
"Hello, Master," Cortana said, smiling at Damian.
"How are you? You've been busy lately," Damian said, having clearly noticed her absence.
"Hm, working on my new body," Cortana said, nodding.
"How's the progress?" Damian asked with curiosity.
"Hm, it's hard to say, actually it's not going as fast as I'd like," Cortana said honestly.
"I suppose you already know why I'm asking," Damian said, looking at her.
"Hm, that guy's project is quite good, I'm as interested in it as you are but what I'm doing is really important," Cortana said, looking at him.
"Alright, your body is more important, we'll just wait, but you will tell the scientist," Damian said, laughing slightly while shaking his head.
"I knew you'd understand," Cortana said, smiling contentedly.
"Don't overwork yourself, if it's going to take too long, at least create another body like the previous one," Damian said, looking at her.
"Don't worry, I won't take too long," Cortana said, reassuring him.
"Is spying on people a habit of yours?" Jen asked, raising an eyebrow at him.
Simultaneously, the screen content changed, showing both of them in the kitchen.
"Thanks, it's quite fascinating," Jen said, smiling slightly.
"Hmm, glad you like it. I had forgotten to give it to you; everyone in the family has one," Damian said, smiling.
"Wow, the power of this thing is really absurd," Jen said while exploring, seeing that she could even slightly modify the weather.
"Don't stay up too late with it," Damian said, looking at her.
"I'm not a child," Jen said, rolling her eyes.
"Sure," Damian replied with a smile.
Suddenly, Damian heard footsteps approaching from behind and looked curiously to see who it was.
To his surprise, it was his favorite apprentice, Wanda.
"Hello, Master," Wanda said, smiling sweetly.
"Hello, Wanda. What a surprise to see you visiting," Damian said, smiling.
"Hmm, we haven't seen each other since the battle a few days ago," Wanda said, smiling before looking at Jen.
"Hello," Wanda greeted courteously.
"Hello," Jen nodded.
"I'll leave you two to talk. There must be an important reason for your visit. Thanks for the gift, see you later," Jen said, softly caressing Damian's cheek before leaving.
Wanda's eyebrow almost furrowed at the situation but she quickly smiled at Jen and waved goodbye.
"So? What important thing do you have to tell me?" Damian asked, amused, not expecting Jen to provoke Wanda.
"I never said I had something important to tell you," Wanda said, looking at Damian, annoyed.
"Just kidding, did you come for a visit?" Damian asked, smiling.
"Hmm, I want to stay for a few days to relax and rest," Wanda said, looking at Damian.
"Is this place your vacation center?" Damian asked, smiling.
"I can feel relaxed wherever you are," Wanda said, looking into Damian's eyes.
"Wow," Damian said, raising his eyebrows, surprised by her comment.
"Hmm, when I'm with you, my mood is always better. When your eyes are fixed on me, I can't help but feel happy," Wanda said, taking Damian's hand.
"Is it okay if I stay?" Wanda asked, looking at Damian.
Damian looked at the adorable creature in front of him in total bewilderment.
Her eyes were fixed on him with hope, and the hand holding his seemed a bit shaky, showing her nervousness.
Damian gently squeezed her hand before pulling her into a hug.
"Of course, you can stay as long as you want. But you know my situation; I have a large family, it can be a bit noisy," Damian said, softly placing his hand behind her head and whispering in her ear.
"Hmm, it's not bad to have a big family," Wanda said, resting her face against Damian's chest, her lips curved in a sweet smile.
Damian just smiled slightly, thinking this bold confession was likely caused by something else.
It's very likely that Cortana had been gossiping.
"So, let's go. I'll take you to your room. Do you want the same one you always stayed in?" Damian asked, smiling.
"Isn't that a guest room?" Wanda asked, looking at him.
"That's true, so let's find you another room," Damian said, chuckling as he took her hand.
"Hmm," Wanda nodded, gazing at their joined hands.
Damian just laughed at her behavior before walking together towards the stairs.
