Transformed into Cosmic Horror in a Sci-Fi Universe

Chapter 42: While I Was Away

Transformed into Cosmic Horror in a Sci-Fi Universe – 42

After making thorough preparations, I followed Ubbo-Sathla to the universe he had set his sights on. It was a bubble located quite far from the one I had inhabited, and it was significantly larger—about twice the size of my previous universe.

The vastness of this universe meant that countless planets and life forms thrived within it. The physical laws were similar yet slightly different from those of my previous universe. For instance, the gravitational acceleration was a bit off, and the constants in the thermodynamic equations varied slightly. These differences resulted in life-sustaining temperatures exceeding 60 degrees Celsius, but that was not his concern.

My task was to cultivate a being powerful enough to dominate this universe but won’t create enemies in the universe. Ubbo-Sathla had attempted something similar with the Lubaran tribe, but they had failed to conquer the entire universe. Their focus on conquest rather than destruction had led to their downfall.

Despite the terrifying experiments and re

With that, Ubbo-Sathla ventured into the universe to create the new species. Meanwhile, I used the opportunity to check on the events in my own universe.

Let’s see how things have been going.

“Let’s take over the Galactic Union.”

“…What?!”

At Yujin’s words, Jupiter was more shocked than he had ever been in his life. The Galactic Union was a colossal organization, centered around the Lubaran tribe with their advanced scientific technology, and composed of countless intelligent beings with various abilities. It dominated a region approximately 20 billion light-years in diameter, making it the largest known organization in the current universe.

While there might be larger organizations in the unobserved parts of the universe, the Galactic Union was the supreme power within the observable universe. Its influence continued to grow, as it protected newly discovered life forms and integrated intelligent beings into its ranks, expanding its reach even further.

For someone to suddenly declare their intention to take over such an organization was nothing short of astonishing.

“……”

Jupiter couldn’t bring himself to tell Yujin that it was impossible. Who was Yujin, after all? He was an avatar of a great being with the overwhelming power to erase or reset this vast universe in an instant. Not only was his original form immensely powerful, but Yujin himself possessed extraordinary abilities.

In less than ten years, he had surpassed the elders of the Meias tribe in magical prowess. His physical abilities, enhanced by mana, were so exceptional that even the formidable Lubaran tribe couldn’t match him. He was an overwhelming monster, a giant beast in all but size, capable of taking on entire fleets.

It seemed there was nothing Yujin couldn’t achieve if he set his mind to it. Jupiter thought that if Yujin wanted to do something, it would simply happen.

“Of course, I can’t do it alone. We need to gather forces. And…”

“And?”

Yujin smiled slyly.

“Besides, we don’t need that many forces, nor will it take long. Usually, these things end when you take out the head.”

“…!”

As he said this, Yujin made a request to Jupiter.

“The Lubaran tribe is likely involved in some unsavory activities within the Union. I sensed something like that when I was connected to the main body.”

“Understood. I’ll investigate.”

Jupiter immediately grasped the meaning behind Yujin’s words. Nodding in agreement, he headed towards the Union Headquarters to begin his investigation.

The plan was to uncover the corruption and darkness within the Lubaran tribe and use it as leverage to stage a coup. Once the Lubaran tribe was ousted and their position seized, dominating the Galactic Union would merely be a matter of time.

Jupiter saw the potential in this plan and began preparing to gather allies while investigating the Lubaran tribe’s secrets. Meanwhile, Yujin traveled across the universe to recruit forces for his cause. Thus began his grand adventure to conquer the Galactic Union.

Yujin’s journey to gather allies was about to unfold. While the story of recruiting companions might not be particularly exciting, with tales of meeting new allies and exploring their pasts, it had its own charm. However, the real interest lay in watching the protagonist smash through obstacles and reform the world.

For now, I decided to keep an eye on who would join Yujin’s ranks. Next, I turned my attention to the elves.

I wondered if the Elf God was fulfilling his role well. Honestly, I was a bit worried. Compared to Yujin, the progress on the elf side seemed slow. Although establishing their own language systems and reaching the Iron Age within a few years was impressive, it still felt sluggish.

I decided to leave the elves for later. Checking on them now probably wouldn’t reveal much change. Even if there were dangers, the six-handed Elf God would handle them. I trusted that the Elf God wouldn’t entertain any foolish thoughts.

[Hey, I’ve created something. Come take a look.]

Ubbo-Sathla returned through the rift, asking for confirmation. It seemed the elf side would have to wait.

…I did feel a strange sense of unease about the elves, but it was probably just my imagination.
