Chapter 636 Filling the Hole Pt 5

Before my world had discovered Truth\'s eye, we had already made advancements to be able not only to create free power but harness the very vibrations of the planet. With that power, we had started to spread out, but no one ever reached their destinations because of Matthias. Memories of what he had done were still fresh in my mind, but it seemed no amount of time could pass for me to forget.

We had achieved a much higher level of technology than these drones, but we had moved past the need for war amongst ourselves. This planet was still young and growing, or it was before this Hyron appeared from space like I had. These people were still primitive enough not to understand what space was, or what else was even out there.

Yet, drones were flying with propellers that operated on manipulating wind, and gravity-powered platforms. None of it made any sense, but I could think about that after I had dealt with the flying invasion force.

While there were just drones, and easy to destroy, I had to be creative. There was a forest below me, and I could tell there had not been a lot of rain in this area lately from the parched condition of the foliage. The slightest spark could start a forest fire, and the heat from the combustion of fuel within these drones would be more than enough to supply that spark. I had to take them out in a way that would prevent any collateral damage.

Raising my open hand, I cast a spell that formed a weak force field around each drone. It wouldn\'t be enough to physically stop their movements but it would contain any explosions within a confined space, preventing any fires from starting. Once the shields were in place, I closed my hand.

Every shield shrunk, forcing the bombs into the drones, causing them to detonate. All of the drones save one was instantly destroyed, and I separated the bomb from it. I then sent an EMP burst into both shields, frying them both and disabling them. I needed to get a better look at this.

From what I could tell, no one was thinking these things up. They had to be caused by some interference by this god-like being, Hyron. This planet was clearly peaceful before he had arrived, but what was my move?

Was I really a better option for them? Even though I had this invincible body, near limitless power, and what would seem to be the power to do anything I want, I had not been able to save my own world. What if this Hyron was like Matthias? Was this worse than the destruction that I could bring?

My thoughts were brought to a halt when a sharp pain shot through my chest. It wasn\'t a physical pain but rather, it came from a place much deeper. The guilt, helplessness, and pain that had laid dormant were resurfacing, reminding me of my past failures. A failure to protect my home planet, a failure to stop Matthias, and now, the potential failure of not being able to protect Kathorn.

Standing there, hovering above a smoking pile of drones, I was overcome by a sudden fear. If I couldn\'t successfully intervene and stop Matthias, what chance did I have against this unknown entity Hyron?

As if mocking my state of mind, a blinding light began to shine from the remains of the drones below. Shielding my eyes, I looked on as the chaotic remains started to reform, swirling about, merging, and condensing into a humanoid figure.

Before my eyes, a new shape took form. Its body towering and robust, contrasted by a distinct red glow that seemed to radiate from within, this new creature conjured a wave of worry in me. The sense of power it emitted was on a whole different level, and I knew this wasn\'t just another drone.

"What are you, and why have you come to this planet?" The construct asked me, and I frowned at it. Each limb was a different design, and it made him look miss matched.

"That is my line," I retorted, and the construct narrowed its eyes at me. "Truthfully? I have no idea why I am here, or why I woke up."

"Woke up? Where are you from?"

"Doesn\'t exist anymore, and it hasn\'t for longer than your star has, not that any of that is important," I said with a scowl. "Why are you putting these people at war, and what are you?"

"What am I? The result of the outcast gaining power after being abused for so many years. I am Hyron, a self-made god that has traveled the universe looking for a reason not to exist!"

"Why are you hiding?" I asked, crossing my arms. "I can surely help you cease to be if that is all you need."

"But you don\'t get it! I must exist! Can\'t you see it?" Hyron asked, and then both of us rose in the air on his accord. "Look! You hold them back from tearing themselves apart! Peaceful people! Ha! There is no such thing!" Hyron laughed, spreading his arms out, but then stopped laughing, freezing in place, then sensors in his eyes focusing on me. "I give them power, and I spin false tails, but their unity always fails! Can\'t you see how disgusting these creatures are? Or have you not been here long enough to truly understand?!"

His words echoed around me, and for a moment, I felt a pang of understanding. I had once shared similar feelings after Matthias had betrayed me after my world had ended. But there was something fundamentally disturbing about Hyron\'s scorn for the beings of Kathorn.

"Pain and fear can bring out the worst in beings, not just in this world but in any world," I responded, trying to keep my voice steady against the overpowering presence of Hyron. "But who are we to play God and decide their fate?"
