Bip. Bip. Bip. Bip.
The man on the bed could hear the rhythmic beeping that engulfed the room as he tried to fight his mind, which was trying to force him to wake up. He wanted to sleep more, as it was sothing he had missed quite a lot and didn’t want to cut short.
But that was only montary. The mont the line of thought finished forming, and just as he was about to try and make it a reality, a blue screen spread in front of him despite his eyes being closed. It startled him as if he had been hit by a flashbang, and the shock also acted as a trigger that broke the dam, as his mories started flowing once again, as if recovering backup data from a computer that had been shut down.
[Soul reconstruction complete. User health in perfect condition!!!!!!!!]
Those words on the screen were the only thing he could see as his mind took the recovered mories and cataloged them in sequence to prevent any misrembering or any other potential problems that ca with a soul being torn apart. The system, with its ever-watchful eyes, made sure nothing was misplaced, no matter how small the likelihood of that happening was.
“MH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” The sound of him taking a deep breath, as if he hadn’t breathed in years, could be heard as his eyes opened in sync, finding himself inside a very familiar room of his palace.
{Welco back, sir. Empress Rina and your family have been inford and are on the way to see you,} Nova, ever vigilant when it ca to matters related to Aron, was the first to be inford, having already discovered the change in his brain waves the mont he beca conscious again. She had remained observing, a mont away from calling Ayaka should sothing wrong have happened or been seen in the data.
“How long have I been out for?” Aron asked, as his mind had now finally finished bringing him up to date with his latest mories, reminding him that they were in an active war with the Conclave when he went out. He was curious as to how long he had been gone and how they had dealt with his absence.
{Forty days, sir. That is how long you have been out,} Nova answered as a hologram with that number written on it appeared.
“How is the situation with the Conclave?” he asked in a hurry, knowing that forty-five days was a long ti for the empire, which could travel anywhere so long as they had access to the absolute coordinates. It was enough ti for plans to be implented and either succeed or fail, and for the other side to have been able to do the sa.
Before Nova could answer, the door to his room was kicked open as Rina, who had co flying after deeming walking to be too slow, ca through, only a few seconds ahead of Henry, who also arrived just behind her. Twenty seconds later, his mother and father ca with Rina’s parents, imdiately crowding the room as one after another, they started drowning him in questions.
“Are you fine? I was debriefed on what happened. Why the heck would you do that?”
“If you do that again, I will take a soul piece myself, understood?”
“Why did you put yourself in that position when you have capable subordinates?”
“You are the Emperor. You should keep that in mind when you act.”
“I’m glad you look fine...........”
“........................................”
“.................................”
“...........................”
“.....................”
Questions, statents of worry, reprimands for what he did, hugs, tears—the room was a buffet of all those emotions and more as each mber of the family expressed their concern in their own way. But the emotion in all of their eyes was the sa: relief and happiness that he had finally woken up.
It took a whole hour before he could fully appease all of those in the room and was able to convince them to give him so ti alone. They did so begrudgingly before Aron could finally be alone with Nova. He imdiately lay down once again as the dpod door closed and logged him into the VR. When he opened his eyes, he found himself inside the situation room with all the officials who were in the initial situation room present to welco him. They were ready to answer any questions or explain their reasoning for why they took certain decisions, and more as the Emperor was provided with an update on the situation.
Having already been briefed about his condition and full recovery, none of those in the room pestered him like his family did. The most they did was express their happiness that he had managed to heal without any problems and had returned in full health, before they imdiately got to work.
{The Conclave is no more, as we are currently in control of all the previous Conclave civilizations, including subordinate civilizations, barring ten civilizations from the eleven top-ten civilizations, who are now all acting under a single directive,} Nova said as she started her debriefing. The room dissolved, and everyone in it found themselves hovering in space with miniature star systems appearing in the sa positions as their real-world counterparts in a part of the galaxy that everyone had nearly morized.
A golden color started spreading, covering nearly all of the star systems around them, leaving a few of them in comparison that were at the center of the whole map. It was the only unconquered part of the Conclave that remained, with everything in its surroundings being fully and completely taken over.
{Due to their significance and expected complications upon facing them, we had elected to focus on taking control of the other civilizations, buying ti until your recovery was complete before we made any move upon them. As a result, we are currently in control of thirteen thousand, four hundred and seventy-three star systems that are under the administration and control of both our imperial forces and imperial citizens, who are responsible for miscellaneous things like dealing with rebellions and other insurgency movents in the captured star systems. To avoid making irreversible decisions in your absence, all of those who caused problems, barring those who could only be neutralized by lethal force, are currently being held in prisons, with the total number of prisoners totaling five billion people of different civilizations.}
