Two Days Later,
“Lily, have you refined the fuel out of the Dark Matter Bomb?” Young Ely stood in front of her computer and asked.
“Miss, there seems to be a problem in this Dark Matter Bomb. I am picking up constant fluctuation from it. Although this fluctuation doesn’t seem to be harmful, it is creating a strange phenonon around this building.” Lily replied.
“What? Then, why didn’t you tell sooner?” Young Ely’s eyes widened when she heard those words. She imdiately started creating the barrier around her house with the energy produced by of dark matter bomb.
ɴ(O)ᴠᴇʟ “Miss, if you use that energy, we might not be left with much to return ho,” Lily spoke.
“What? Didn’t you calculate that the amount of fuel that we can extract from the Dark Matter Bomb was three tis more than we need?” Young Ely scread as she slamd her fist on the table.
“Miss, my calculations were off due to the constant release of those fluctuations,” Lily answered.
“Damn, you are just useless. I thought she modified you and made you closer to daddy’s A.I.” Young Ely clenched her teeth and gashed. She was angry beyond help but she didn’t take out the frustration on the computers.
She retreated fearing that she would damage the computers and started thinking.
‘What should I do? If these fluctuations enter his radar then he will imdiately find . I can’t face him, not now. I am scared. What should I do?’
‘No, first, I should focus on Celestial Killing Bomb. It is only fifteen minutes away before the explosion. Once it explodes, he will definitely do everything to search for the source. But fifteen minutes might not be enough to recharge the ti travel machine.’-ɴ(0)ᴠᴇʟ.
‘What should I do? I have already set the tir.’
“Lily, is there any way to change the tir of the Celestial Killing Bomb?” Young Ely raised her head and asked.
But before Lily could reply, another voice rang from behind.
“She doesn’t have a way to do so but I do.”
When Young Ely heard this voice, her eyes widened. For her, this voice ant more than anything else. It was so familiar that she could never forget it.
“My daughter ca from the future but didn’t even et her daddy. Isn’t this too heartbreaking?”
Brian spoke as he walked toward her. But, he wasn’t alone. He was accompanied by Charlotte. Young Ely didn’t turn around. She was afraid. She tried to rush away but Brian instantly caught her shoulder and said.
“If you run away, daddy will be very sad.”
Sob! Sob!
At this mont, Brian and Charlotte heard her sobbing. Brian pulled her into his embrace and patted her head. ɴ(O)ᴠᴇʟ
“It’s okay, Ely. You have grown up a lot. You can’t cry like now.”
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaa” “Waaaaaaaaa”
But, his words only made her cry even more. She cried like she was holding back those tears for years. And, she was holding back for years. For her, it has been eight years since she finally got a chance to et her father.
“You didn’t have to bear such a burden. How could I be so stupid?”
Bang!
Brian smashed his fist on the ground so hard that the blood ca out of his hand but it didn’t hurt as much as seeing his daughter in such a situation.
“It’s not your fault. When people are emotional, they rarely make the correct decision. Ely, you’ve suffered.” Charlotte patted his head and wrapped her arms around Ely.
When she felt those arms, Ely slowly turned her head at Charlotte. Her face was covered with fear as she wrapped her arms around Charlotte and cried.
“Mom! Wuuuuuuu”
Charlotte was shocked for a mont. She did expect her to cry like that with Brian but not with her. At this mont, she felt like so of his predictions were coming true.
But still, it made her scream seeing her crying like that. She held Ely tightly in her embrace as she also started crying. Brian slowly left her in Charlotte’s embrace and walked up to the computer.
Without any hesitation, he imdiately started working on defusing the bomb. He still had twelve minutes left which was plenty for him.
‘If I want to defuse the bomb right now, I need to internally change its structure. Thankfully, I had designed it in a way that its internal structure can be changed in case of ergency.’
Brian imdiately started recalibrating the entire bomb and redesigning the inner part of the bomb but Young Ely suddenly rushed to him and shouted.
“Daddy, stop! I promised you to change the world. I must fulfill my promise.”
“Ely, I am sorry but I can’t stop. You have already changed the future the mont you traveled back in ti. I need to change it and complete the ti travel machine to send you back as soon as possible.”
“You don’t have any idea what’s going on.” Brian shook his head and focused on defusing the bomb.
“W-what do you an by that?” Young Ely asked with confusion.
“We will discuss after a few minutes. Let finish this first!”
After that, Charlotte pulled Ely in her embrace and said “Let your daddy handle this. He knows what he is doing.”
Young Ely bit her lips and nodded her head while putting her around Charlotte. After seeing so much love from her, Charlotte asked “Was I a good mother figure to you?”
Young Ely trembled for a mont and shook her head. When Charlotte received this answer, her heart sank, but Young Ely spoke before she could misunderstand even more.
“You were a great mother.”
Slowly, a bright smile appeared on her lips. The daughter and mother stayed like that. Even though they weren’t blood-related, they were very important to each other more than anything else.
Suddenly, Young Ely spoke “Daddy, is it really okay? I promised you that I will destroy evolution.”
“Sly girl, you said that to the version of mine in your world, not . You truly don’t understand ti travel, do you? Tell , who was the one that created this ti travel?” Brian asked while working on the computer.
Young Ely didn’t reply so Brian continued “This person has done a lot of mistakes. So might even be intentional. So, I suspect that this person’s plan is to send you back in ti so that you would never return.”
“I am not sure of this person’s true purpose but this person seems to have either intentionally or unintentionally forgotten the true consequences of ti travel. Whoever did this must be your enemy in dark.”
“No, it’s ti. There is no way she would do such a thing to . Daddy, you are lying, right? She wouldn’t try to kill .” Young Ely instantly jumped out of Charlotte’s embrace and shouted while running toward Brian.
Charlotte hurriedly caught up while Brian replied “Your father will never lie to you. That’s why I said, I don’t know if it was done intentionally or unintentionally but most of the proof makes it more intentional.”
“Lily is full of cracks. There are billions of codes that are removed from her. That’s why she has been making mistakes over mistakes. The consequences of ti travel are deadly unless you return to your own tiline in a short ti.”
“So, tell , who was this person?”
Thud!
Young Ely suddenly fell to her knees as she started realizing the potential of her father’s words. She trembled and started crying. Charlotte held her daughter tightly and let her cry.
“I-I-I-I-Its my sister… She is your second daughter with mom. Why would she do such a thing? I don’t believe it. There has been a mistake. We never fought, always supported each other, and I took care of her for a long ti. Why?”
At this mont, a big smile appeared on Brian’s lips as he slamd the final key on the keyboard and defused the bomb. He slowly crouched down and put his hand on her head.
“Well, it seems like my second daughter has received my intelligence and my powers. It seems like she did this not unintentionally but despite knowing the consequences, she did it for you.”
Young Ely slowly raised her head at Brian. Her face was covered with tears as she didn’t understand. But, who was Brian? The smartest man in this world. How could he not get a clue about this situation?
He found many things even before coming here. Although those were just theories in his mind, most of them were proven correct. Now, he believed another theory has been proven.
He looked at her with a smile and asked “Tell Ely, who was the person that you had to kill with your hands despite being very close to you.”
When he asked that question, Young Ely’s expression froze. She didn’t answer but rather she understood that he already knew the answer.
Yes, the person she killed was none other than her own mother.
Lucy Bathory!
