Chapter 30: Mechanical Lifeforms



[Why do you want to create lifeforms?]

Considering it had heard stories from Ubbo-Sathla, I wondered if its goal was similar—perhaps universal domination.

If that were the case, I’d have to ensure it didn’t meddle with my universe.

[It’s purely out of interest. I want to observe how my creations live and thrive.]

Ah, that’s a relief. It seemed it wasn’t aiming for universal domination.

It appeared to view the universe as a giant terrarium, much like I did.

Could it be lying?

Outer gods don’t have the concept of lying.

They get whatever they want, so there’s no reason for them to lie.

As a human reincarnate, I might lie, but true Outer gods don’t.

So, that’s how it is.

If it’s just observing leisurely, it might be okay to let it into my universe.

Unlike Ubbo-Sathla, it wouldn’t create monstrous creatures for domination, and being a high-rank, its powers might be slightly inferior to mine or Ubbo-Sathla’s.

[What kind of lifeform do you want to create?]

This was crucial.

It might suddenly want to create a monstrous species that could wreck the terrarium.

Observing could mean watching the universe’s destruction, after all.

[I love metal. The existence of metal in the universe is incredibly beautiful. Especially iron and titanium… strong and resilient metals. They are resistant to heat and, when alloyed…]

[I see. So you want to create lifeforms made of metal, like yourself.]

I quickly interrupted before it could launch into a full lecture on materials science.

Well, I had somewhat expected it from its appearance—lifeforms made of metal.

When it comes to that, one thing immediately comes to mind.

Cybertronians from TransforX!

They were originally among the candidates for lifeforms I wanted to create.

The thrill of metal clanking and transforming… Ah~ Honestly, no man can resist that.

It fits well with the sci-fi genre and setting of our universe.

However, I dismissed the idea because I thought the Galactic Union would capture and dissect them.

The Galactic Union appears cooperative and friendly towards intelligent lifeforms, integrating them into the Union and treating them well, but it’s not as it seems.

If they find something they deem necessary, they will capture, dissect, and study it.

Especially the Lubaran race, created by Ubbo-Sathla for the purpose of universal domination, are quite selfish.

If a new concept like Cybertronians, or mechanical lifeforms, were to emerge, they would definitely capture and dissect them.

They would somehow procure a corpse in a somewhat humane way and dissect it.

Then, they would try to understand the principles of mechanical lifeforms and mimic them.

I suspect that the ‘research lab’ Yujin mentioned might be related to this.

Anyway, I gave up on that idea because I didn’t want to feel bad about having my technology stolen.

…But if someone else is creating them, it shouldn’t matter, right?

Honestly, I want to see it.

Real, moving TransforX.

Moreover, if they are placed near the elf planet, it could lead to a good storyline.

Just like in the TransforX movie, Cybertronians could come to the elf planet and teach them mechanical technologies.

Based on that technology, the elves could quickly undergo a mechanical revolution and reach modern civilization at a rapid pace.

Yeah, it’s better than me directly intervening.

It would be a natural change in the cosmic flow.

Moreover, if they maintain a cooperative relationship, it would be a mutually beneficial symbiosis.

As the elves advance, even if they can’t create mechanical lifeforms, they could at least repair them when injured.

The elves would benefit from rapidly advancing their technology, and the Cybertronians would gain repair technicians and engineers.

Dalos would achieve his goal of creating and observing metal lifeforms.

I would get to see my dream of TransforX come to life and accelerate the technological progress of the elf planet.

This is a true win-win situation.

[How about something like this?]

I proposed to Dalos, sending an image of TransforX into his mind.

[Oh… mechanical lifeforms that transform their bodies. They resemble the cars and spaceships created by the Lubaran or Terra races.]

Fortunately, he seemed to understand it correctly.

[But why do they need to be vehicles? The characteristic of body transformation doesn’t seem necessary.]

No, you idiot!

He didn’t understand at all!

That’s the essence of the dream!

[And I don’t understand the concept of the cube. Using an actual energy source for reproduction is inefficient. If it’s lost or destroyed, the species would face immediate extinction.]

No, the cube is the core of the dream!

It can turn other machines into Cybertronians.

Isn’t that awesome?

[That’s what makes it great.]

[Is that so? I don’t understand. But if Ubbo-Sathla praised you highly, then your choice must be right.]

Phew, it seemed he reluctantly understood the importance of the dream.

…But wait, doesn’t this mean I’m practically creating them myself?

Maybe it would be faster if I just did it.

No, no.

There’s a world of difference between creating something myself and having someone else create it.

Still, it wouldn’t be right to impose only my ideas…

[I just gave you an idea for metal lifeforms. Create them as you see fit.]

[Understood. I’ll take that into consideration.]

Dalos seemed to ponder for a moment before moving to my sci-fi universe.

Wait, what?

Is he starting already?

Hey, if you do that suddenly, the Galactic Union will detect you.

You need to consider that!

[Hold on.]

[Why?]

I stopped Dalos and warned him that if detected by the Galactic Union, they might come and place the newly created lifeforms under their control before they even had a chance to develop.

[…? Then why not just eliminate them all?]

…Wow, that’s a very Outer god-like statement.

According to information from other universes, Dalos isn’t particularly malevolent.

Maybe that information was wrong.

…Or maybe not?

Perhaps not capturing, dissecting, and experimenting on beings makes him less malevolent compared to others?

[But then there would be no other lifeforms to interact with. Watching them interact with other beings, whether for better or worse, is also interesting.]

[That’s a good point. Interesting. Then I’ll try to keep them hidden until they develop.]

Fortunately, he seemed to understand my point.

He transformed his body to blend with the universe’s energy, then crossed back into the universe.

He used his powers to temporarily disable detection or altered his body’s composition to avoid being noticed.

As expected of a high-ranking Outer god, he seemed capable of using various powers.

However, he couldn’t seem to give up his geometric metallic form.

He really loves metal.

Oh, but upon entering, it seemed the timeline was slightly off.

We arrived in a time slightly ahead of when we disappeared.

Approximately… four years had passed.

What?! That means…!

Yujin’s story had progressed by four years, and the civilization simulation had been running automatically without me for three years…?!

Ugh…! I could go back to four years ago, but then I wouldn’t be able to monitor what kind of Cybertronians Dalos was creating.

If he created some insane monstrous species, I’d need to intervene.

…Sigh, there’s no choice.

I’ll just have to catch up on three years of story in one go.

First, let’s check if there are any immediate issues.

Starting with Yujin.

Three years plus four years, that’s a total of seven years.

There are still three years left until that incident.

So, he should still be learning high-level magic without any major events…

[Ugh… Ugh…]

[Sigh… You shouldn’t have tried to kill me. Well, you almost succeeded, Elder Organ.]

???

Why is he killing an elder?

…This side is always surprising.

I knew that elder had been plotting to kill Yujin, but I didn’t expect him to actually attack and then get countered.

I had anticipated it, but I didn’t think it would actually happen.

This isn’t just a simple case of killing because of an assassination attempt.

A Terra race outsider had killed one of the five elders of the Meias race.

And he did it by overpowering him with magic.

This is a serious problem.

[…Huh. How should we handle this?]

Even Grandpa Jupiter seemed extremely flustered.

From the perspective of the Galactic Union, it wasn’t that big of a deal.

If an elder died, they would simply inform the Elder Council of the Galactic Union and decide on a new elder.

As long as the new elder wasn’t significantly weak in power or influence, the council would generally approve.

But for the Meias race, especially those who prided themselves on their magical supremacy, this was a catastrophe.

A Terra race outsider had absorbed magic like a sponge and, in just seven years, had grown strong enough to kill an elder?

It was utter chaos.

How this situation would be resolved… was incredibly intriguing!

Yujin, you’ve become too powerful in just seven years, haven’t you?

To think you actually defeated an elder.

As expected of my avatar.
