My Talent's Name Is Generator - Chapter 1020: Behind The Scenes
Far away from the Blue Spiral Galaxy, deep within the Prime Galaxy, a silent chamber slowly illuminated one projection after another as figures began connecting across enormous distances.
The meeting hall itself floated within the hollow center of a dead star that had long ago been converted into a gathering place for the Council, its inner walls covered in massive golden inscriptions that pulsed faintly whenever another projection stabilized into existence.
None of the figures revealed their true forms completely.
The pressure filling the chamber increased gradually with every new arrival until the very space inside the hall felt unnaturally heavy.
The discussion began almost immediately.
“Amun is planning something.”
The voice echoed calmly across the chamber.
“That much is obvious,” another projection replied. “The problem is that he refuses to explain anything properly.”
“He disappeared for years and suddenly calls for preparation against the Eternals. Naturally people will be concerned.”
A few projections shifted slightly while streams of Essence moved through the massive hall. One of the figures finally looked toward another projection seated farther away.
“Defender Aurora.”
Golden lightning flickered softly around the feminine projection as she lifted her gaze calmly toward the others.
“You are close to Amun. Do you know what he is planning?”
For a brief moment the hall became quieter. Defender Aurora remained silent before finally answering.
“No.”
Several projections reacted immediately.
“You expect us to believe that?”
“I did not say he told me nothing,” she replied calmly. “I said I do not know his complete objective.”
The pressure inside the chamber shifted slightly again. One of the older projections leaned forward.
“So even you were excluded.”
“Amun rarely explains himself fully,” Defender Aurora replied. “Especially when the matter concerns the Eternals.”
That answer did little to calm the room.
“The Prime Universe is already unstable enough,” another voice echoed through the chamber. “If he starts another large-scale conflict carelessly—”
“He would not act carelessly,” Defender Aurora interrupted calmly. “Not regarding the Eternals.”
That caused several projections to go silent briefly.
Because despite their concerns, none of them doubted Amun’s experience regarding wars against the Eternals. Eventually the discussion shifted naturally toward another topic entirely.
“The Blue Spiral.”
At the mention of the galaxy, several projections reacted immediately.
“The reports regarding the sudden Saint ascensions,” someone muttered slowly. “Are they accurate?”
“Yes,” another projection answered. “I have confirmed with the System as well. It’s the same organisation that we discussed last time, Order Of Absolute.”
“All connected to that boy – Billion Ironhart.”
The name itself now carried visible weight even within the Council chamber.
“The Order of Absolute has expanded too quickly,” one projection said calmly. “Every nearby galaxy is already paying attention to them.”
“And they should,” another replied immediately.
A few Essence fluctuations spread across the chamber after hearing that name.
One of the projections finally spoke again.
“What concerns me more is the speed of his growth. His progression no longer follows logic.”
“He is tied to Amun,” another voice replied quietly. “That alone explains enough.”
That caused multiple fluctuations. The voice noticed the reaction and casually replied.
“I have my ways to get the information.”
“No,” someone countered immediately. “Not even Amun should be capable of creating something progressing this quickly.”
Defender Aurora remained silent while listening to the discussion around her while the projections continued exchanging opinions regarding the sudden rise of the Order of Absolute and the appearance of multiple Saints inside a single galaxy.
Eventually one of the projections spoke again.
“So what exactly is your assessment of this Billion Ironhart then?”
Several gazes shifted toward Defender Aurora.
“My assessment?” she said calmly. “That all of you are overestimating him.”
A few projections reacted immediately.
“And?” she asked calmly. “In the grand scheme of existence, he is still merely a Saint.”
The room quieted slightly after that.
“He is talented,” she continued while folding her arms lightly, “but talent alone means very little beyond a certain level.” Her golden eyes swept across the chamber. “The Prime Universe has produced countless geniuses before him. Demi-Gods who shattered galaxies, who rewrote laws. Compared to those existences, he is still far too weak.”
One projection narrowed slightly.
“Yet Amun seems unusually invested in him.”
“Amun invests himself into many strange things,” Defender Aurora replied calmly. “That does not automatically make them important.”
Several projections exchanged glances after hearing that.
“He may become useful eventually,” she admitted after a brief pause. “But right now he lacks the power to influence the larger conflicts approaching the Prime Universe.”
That answer visibly eased some of the tension spreading through the chamber. One of the older projections finally leaned back slightly.
“So in your opinion he is not someone we should concern ourselves with yet.”
Defender Aurora shook her head lightly.
“No. Not yet.” Her expression remained calm and unreadable. “For now he is simply another rapidly growing Saint.”
*******
Far away from the Prime Galaxy, within the endless void surrounding the Blue Spiral, another conversation unfolded beneath drifting stars and streams of distant Essence.
Vivi floated silently above a fragmented asteroid field while countless violet threads extended outward from her body like invisible roots connecting across the galaxy itself. Below her, Primus stood calmly upon a floating black stone platform while several holographic projections rotated slowly around him displaying nearby galaxies and surrounding universal sectors.
For several moments neither of them spoke. Then Primus finally looked upward toward her.
“You are serious about this.”
Vivi nodded lightly.
“Yes.”
Primus exhaled slowly while looking back toward the floating galactic projections.
“This is dangerous even for you.”
“I know.”
“No,” he corrected calmly. “I do not think you fully understand how dangerous.”
Vivi remained silent.
Primus waved his hand afterward and one of the nearby galactic projections expanded into view, revealing a neighboring spiral galaxy rotating slowly within the darkness.
“Taking control of another galaxy core is not the same as controlling the Blue Spiral,” he said while studying the projection carefully. “The Blue Spiral accepted you because of your connection to it and offcourse with the help of Billion. Another galaxy will resist.”
“I know that too.”
Primus finally looked directly toward her.
“Then why are you still planning this?”
For the first time Vivi hesitated slightly. Then she slowly descended lower until her feet touched the floating black platform beside him.
“Because he is growing too fast.”
Primus narrowed his eyes faintly.
“Billion.”
“Yes.”
Vivi looked outward toward the stars quietly.
“The farther he climbs, the more dangerous the things around him become.” Her voice softened slightly afterward. “The Null Realm, the Eternals, Theras… even Amun.”
Primus remained silent while listening.
“I cannot always rely on him protecting the Blue Spiral forever,” Vivi continued. “If something happens…” She paused briefly before shaking her head lightly. “No. I need more power for the galaxy itself.”
Primus crossed his arms slowly.
“And you think absorbing another galaxy core will accomplish that.”
“Yes.”
“Then why not take help from him.”
Vivi smiled faintly.
“I could but he is going away to the null realm. There isn’t enough time.”
Primus sighed softly afterward.
“And naturally,” he muttered, “you are hiding this from Billion.”
“Obviously.”
Primus eventually waved his hand again and several nearby galactic projections shifted position.
“Fine,” he said calmly. “I will help gather intelligence regarding nearby galaxies.” Then his eyes narrowed slightly. “But if the situation becomes unstable, you retreat immediately.”
Vivi nodded quickly.
“Deal.”
Primus looked unconvinced.
“And also let me see if I can get anyone else to help you out.”
Vivi smiled brightly afterward.
