Against the Inevitable Destiny
Chapter 4 - Second Eternite Invasion

[ October 1927 ]

World-renowned scientists gather at a conference called the Fifth Solvay Conference.

The conference was not to discuss a particular branch of science, but to discuss Eternite.

After the First Eternite Invasion, humans realized our weakness. We know that our knowledge of the enemy is minimal.

For that reason, scientists around the world gathered to discuss their knowledge of Eternite. Also to find a solution how to deal with the second invasion if the Eternite conducts another Invasion.

.

In the first discussion, they discussed the First Invasion.

Human's first battle with Eternite may end in a series. But it is not entirely due to the power of man. Eternite retreated because of something that humans did not know.

In fact, if you count losses. Humans were severely harmed in that invasion. Forget about the destruction of buildings, treasures, tools, and so on because it can no longer be counted.

The human population, especially in the Northern Continent, was drastically reduced. And the number of men who could fight became very few. That was because most of the soldiers were killed during the First Invasion.

Moreover, although we gain new powers, but comparing ourselves to Ruler is like comparing a professional boxer to a small newborn baby, not being able to hit at all.

But people have no time to complain.

Humans must remember that we (humans) have faced various disasters that almost made us extinct, but in the end, we still stand as the ruler of the earth.

Now it won't be any different either. We (humans) will ultimately survive.

.

.

Furthermore alluded to about the new resources and power that humans had at that time.

In the previous battle, it had not only produced bad things. Many new things are learned that are useful for human life, such as Eternite Energy.

Not only has it revolutionized the technology that humans have, but it has also subconsciously reconstructed the earth and made humans indirectly evolve into something else. And one of them is the creation of some people who have unique abilities, are physically stronger, and have authority over some energy..

In addition, there have been various hidden families from various corners of the world.

Two of them attended the conference, namely the Destin Family and the Akaasa Family.

The Destin family, from Europe, was famous for its knowledge especially during the Invasion, while the Akaasa family was famous for its technology and weaponry.

The two families have made humans able to survive until now.

.

.

Even so, when the conference took place there was only one person who stole the attention of the world, namely Akahasa Ryoma, the head of the Akaasa Family at that time.

At the conference Ryoma said that his group had studied and made various technologies and weapons that only existed in their imagination. It was created after his group researched the Eternite phenomenon.

At that time he explained that something that was initially considered impossible, it was only because we did not know the cause of the consequences caused. And the Eternite phenomenon overturns logic so that it becomes a hard slap for humans who are limited by arrogance by showing something that is considered impossible actually does not.

By knowing why then modifying the cause so as to produce the desired effect the Akaasa family creates a variety of technologies that transcend the human imagination.

With that technology, humans can better prepare for the next Eternite disaster. That's what he said.

In addition, he also hopes to work with Einstein Destin to make a bomb that has a wide range, but without radiation that is harmful to the environment.

And the Destin family, represented by Einstein, accepted it.

.....

At the conference, one of the participants asked Ryoma.

How could Ryoma think of such amazing things. Some of them were unthinkable to them.

Ryoma just smiled and replied.

“Only because our mind cannot imagine it, does not mean it does not exist. Just because our logic can't accept it doesn't mean it's impossible. Eternite phenomena have opened our eyes, they have shown us, something beyond common sense.

It's time for birds like us to fly out of cages (the so-called logic)."

His words have excited researchers around the world. They realized that thanks to the new knowledge of Eternite, something, existing in their imagination, might be possible.

.

Finally, after the Conference, Akaasa Ryoma became the leader of the ETER Union.

.

[ September 1939 ]

The Second Eternite invasion. It split into two waves. The first wave occurred in Germany.

Unlike before, humanity is better prepared so that they can fight back.

However, before they could strike back, a second wave occurred in Hiroshima, Japan.

.

[August 1945 ]

The second wave begins with the appearance of a humanoid Ruler in the form of a girl.

After its appearance, a black hole formed behind it and Eternite began to appear.

It is known that the emerging Ruler has control over space. It was known when Eternite in Germany disappeared suddenly, then appeared in Japan. He was named Ruler of Space.

.

.

However, Ryoma did not agree to it as the civilians still had not been evacuated and his weapons still needed to be tested.

However, there is no time left. It forced the other higher-ups in ETER Union to take over and prepare.

Ryoma who knew about it disappeared.

Unbeknownst to the people, he tried to evacuate the victims. He wore the equipment his group made then fought with Eternite.

The bomb was dropped on Hiroshima.

It destroyed the city.

There was no sign of Ruler's death. However, the Eternite invasion of Japan became controllable.

Of course, the price for that was the death of many people, one of which was Ryoma himself.

It was discovered after the survivors gave their testimony.

It shocked the world. Many people are grieving.

The man who lost his family, who should have been angry about the bombing, was also saddened and did not blame him. Survivors of the incident considered him a hero.

Einstein, who had been Ryoma's best friend, resigned from the ETER Union in disappointment. He was replaced by his successor. So is the Akaasa family.

[ Place : Library || Time : Currently\, 30 minutes later ]

Time passed without me knowing.

After Mei and I finished reading the book, we began to clear our place. Although there are some guards who can do it, but Mei insists on cleaning it herself.

“Your great grandfather is amazing not.”

Mei said with great admiration as she continued to clear her book.

I can only smile because it reminds me of something.

.

.

Grandpa once told me the truth, about my great-grandfather's story.

One thing the world does not know is the main reason Akaasa Ryoma strongly opposes the launch of the atomic bomb, it is because he intends to save one person, and that is his wife.

Right, unexpectedly his wife was in Hiroshima.

He insisted on not launching an atomic bomb because he wanted to save his wife first.

However he realized it was impossible, the situation was very difficult back then.

After learning about the preparation of the bomb launch, Ryoma thoughtlessly went straight to using the equipment that his Family had researched over the years.

His equipment was a complete set ranging from armor and weapons.

It was actually a failed study because the fixture was absorbing life energy. So, the price to wear that gear is death.

Of course, his wife knew the side effects of the equipment because she was part of the researcher.

His wife was as stupid as Ryoma, so he used the same equipment and the pair fought against Eternite until the end.

.

The story made me, mixed up, from sad to amazed.

It is sad that Ryoma and his wife died, but I was amazed by the love of the couple.

At least they lived together and died together. It was better than living alone in excruciating pain.

Aka Ryoma chooses the person he loves.

It's wrong from someone else's point of view, but not from my point of view.

I would do the same if it happened in May. I'm not gonna let anything happen to her.

Does the world not know? no, because in their view, the couple headed to Hiroshima together.

However, it was also not wrong as well because in the process, Ryoma had indeed saved many people.

.

.

After that, the Akaasa Family became increasingly known to the world. The results did not disappoint because some amazing people were born into the family, such as my grandfather and parents.

My grandfather was more into battle so he was quite famous in the military world.

As for my parents, he was a pretty famous researcher. If the events of 5 years ago did not happen, then one of them would probably be the leader of the ETER Union.

I just smiled thinking about it.

“Indeed, my family is amazing.”
