The Bloodline System

Chapter 1556: Paradoxical Issue

Authorʼs Note: Unedited Chapter

------------

A member of Kaldorʼs faction, a fiery young Slarkov named Jael, stepped forward. ”We cannot abandon our heritage. Humbad is our home. We must fight to protect it, not run away.”

Elyn, standing by Fraumbultinʼs side, spoke up. ”Our heritage is not tied to a place. It is within us, in our unity and resilience. We must survive to preserve our heritage. Leaving does not mean forgetting who we are.”

The debate raged on, with both sides presenting their arguments.

”Iʼm guessing this is where the decision to head for earth came from...” Gustav muttered.

Fraumbultin knew that time was running out. He called for a vote among the representatives, hoping to reach a decision that would guide their next steps.

In the end, the majority sided with Fraumbultin. The decision to evacuate was made, and preparations began immediately.

Engineers and scientists worked around the clock to develop the technology needed for the evacuation. Spaceships were constructed, and plans were made to transport the population to a new world.

In one scene, Gustav watched as a group of engineers and scientists worked together in a high-tech lab.

Fraumbultin visited the lab, offering his support and encouragement. ”Your efforts are crucial to our survival,” he told them. ”We must do everything in our power to ensure a successful evacuation.”

As the days turned into weeks, the preparations continued at a frantic pace.

The atmosphere on Humbad was a mix of urgency and sorrow, as the Slarkovs prepared to leave the only home they had ever known.

The playback showed scenes of the final days on Humbad. The cities, once bustling with activity, were now filled with the sounds of evacuation. Families hearts were heavy with the weight of leaving their home behind.

While the world was preparing to evacuate, there was another problem at hand.

Chief Fraumbultin the 88th faced an almost insurmountable challenge. Finding a new home for the Slarkovs, especially given the unique and precarious position of their planet, was a monumental task.

Planet Humbad, located at the center of the universe, existed in a state that was both in and out of existence, making the logistics of evacuation extraordinarily complex.

In the command center, Fraumbultin pored over outerspace holographic maps and data streams with his advisors by his side. The atmosphere was fueled with urgency. The warp demolator continued its relentless assault on the barrier, and time was running out.

”Chief Fraumbultin,” Seran began, pointing to a series of coordinates on a holographic map, ”these are the nearest habitable planets within our current range.

However, due to our unique position, navigating to these locations will be incredibly difficult.”

Fraumbultin nodded. ”We must find a way. Our people are depending on us. We cannot afford to fail.”

Elyn added, ”The center of the universe is a chaotic space. Our planetʼs unique state means that conventional travel methods may not work. We need to think outside the box.”

The chief sighed in frustration. ”There must be another way. We cannot remain here and wait for our doom.”

The playback shifted to show Fraumbultin addressing his people once more from the Great Hall. His voice was steady but filled with urgency. ”My fellow Slarkovs, we face a critical moment in our history. Our planet exists in a state that makes conventional evacuation nearly impossible. But we must find a way to leave and ensure our survival.”

”We must harness all of our knowledge, all of our ingenuity, to find a solution. We will explore every possibility, every avenue, to create a path to a new home. Together, we will overcome this challenge.”

For many weeks the challenge seemed to remain unparalleled challenge.

Finding a way for the Slarkovs to leave Planet Humbad, a planet existing in a paradoxical state of both existence and non-existence was proving extremely difficult.

Due to repercussions of altering reality which resulted in the expansion of the universe and moving their planet to the center, they have been in this state paradoxical state for a long time.

It was never an issue before because the Slarkovs had no intentions of leaving.

Despite their best efforts, conventional methods of escape were proving ineffective. The ashy sand-like matter continued to assault their barrier.

In a moment of desperation, Fraumbultin gathered his advisors for a final brainstorming session in the command center.

”Have we discovered a way to break out of the paradoxical state yet?” Fraumbultin inquired.

Seran looked thoughtful. ”There is one possibility we havenʼt explored yet,” he said. ”The ancient records mention that Planet #003, also known as Earth, our former neighbor, had unique properties. Perhaps we could use those properties to break free from our paradoxical state.”

Fraumbultinʼs eyes lit up with hope. ”Explain, Seran.”

Seran brought up a holographic display showing Earth and its DNA structure. ”Earthʼs cells and DNA have unique properties that allow them to exist fully within the fabric of reality just like how we used to. Theyʼre also similar to ours so the issue of compatibility shouldnʼt be a problem.

If we could imbue our people with fragments of Earthʼs DNA, we might be able to anchor ourselves in reality and escape Humbadʼs paradox.”

Elyn, the young and passionate advisor, looked intrigued. ”But how would we obtain Earthʼs DNA? The planet is now distant, and we have limited resources.”

”There have been records of our ancestors visiting Earth in itʼs early days to conduct experiments. If we can find something from back then... It could be our last hope,” Frambultin the 88th pointed out.

After the meeting, they immediately got to work on digging out old Slarkov scientists records and buried research centers.

Since Frambultin the 88th was the highest authority on the planet, it wasnʼt too difficult to locate such places.

It only took time to extract was was needed.

The scene shifted to the high-tech labs where scientists and engineers worked tirelessly to develop a method to extract and integrate Earthʼs DNA into the Slarkovs.

The atmosphere was electric with urgency and innovation. Holographic displays flickered with data.

In one lab, Dr. Kylen led a team of geneticists in the delicate task of synthesizing Earthʼs DNA. ”We need to ensure the integration is seamless,” Dr. Kylen explained to Fraumbultin. ”Any errors could have catastrophic consequences.”

Fraumbultin observed the process with a mixture of hope and anxiety. ”Do whatever it takes, Dr. Kylen.”

The playback showed scenes of intense experimentation and testing. The scientists worked around the clock, their faces etched with determination and fatigue. In one dramatic moment, the first successful integration was achieved.

”Itʼs working,” one of the geneticists exclaimed, their voice filled with excitement. ”The DNA is stabilizing within the Slarkov cells!”

Fraumbultin felt a surge of hope. ”Begin the integration process for the entire population. We must be ready to leave at the next opportunity.”

The integration process began, with every Slarkov receiving a fraction of Earthʼs DNA. The atmosphere on Humbad was a mix of hope and anxiety, as the people prepared for the possibility of escape.

Families gathered together, supporting one another through the process.

In one touching scene, Gustav watched as a young child clutched their motherʼs hand, their eyes filled with anticipation. ”Will we be okay, Mama?” the child asked, their voice trembling.

The mother knelt down, her expression gentle and reassuring. ”Yes, my love. We will leave Humbad and find a new home together.”

As the integration process continued, the scientists and engineers monitored the results closely.

The DNA fragments anchored the Slarkovs in reality, allowing them to exist fully within the fabric of space-time. The barrier, though still under assault, held strong enough for them to prepare for departure.

Fraumbultin addressed his people once more with a resolve filled voice. ”My fellow Slarkovs we have taken a step that has allowed us to leave our paradoxical state and escape Humbad. We must be ready for the next window of opportunity when the pollution recedes. Together, we will find a new home.”

The Slarkovs responded with a mixture of relief and hope.

The playback showed the final preparations for departure. The engineers and scientists worked tirelessly to ensure the ships were ready for launch.

In one lab, Dr. Kylen oversaw the final integration checks. ”We need to ensure every Slarkov is fully integrated with Earthʼs DNA,” she said, her voice steady. ”Any errors could jeopardize our escape.”

The final integration was completed just as the ashy sand-like matter began to recede momentarily.

The gargantuan force, which had relentlessly assaulted the barrier, vanished as it always did occasionally. Fraumbultin knew they had a limited window of opportunity to make their escape.

”Prepare for launch,” Fraumbultin ordered, his voice filled with urgency. ”We must leave now before the pollution returns.”

The ships were loaded, and the Slarkovs boarded with speed. The atmosphere was electric with anticipation as the engines roared to life.

Gustav watched as the first wave of ships ascended into the sky, their engines blazing as they left the atmosphere. The people on board looked back at their planet with heavy hearts but they knew it was for the best.
