Stargate O'Neill 16
Two days later, Xion found himself in his laboratory in front of two capsules where two elders were located.
Xion knew these two elders. One was Marcello, the sole survivor of a people who opposed the Goa'uld and were destroyed by them, and the other was Merlin, an Ascended who Xion would swear was Janus, but was actually Moros, another former Lantean who ascended, discovered the Ori and returned to the mortal plane to become Merlin with the goal of destroying the Ori, though he wished to cheat and the Ascended ruined his plans. However, they allowed him to keep his life in case they needed a backup plan. No one could convince Xion that they did not know where this old man was hiding.
Xion was surprised when his biospheres found him a couple of days ago, healing him from his near moribund state, and transferring him to this galaxy, while copying all of his knowledge. This surely had the Ascended watching him at the moment, but Xion was sure they would not attack, as he had not broken their rules and had acquired this old man's knowledge fairly, and by mortal means. If the replicant Carter was not punished, by stealing the knowledge that the Ascended had sealed in Daniel's mind, in the original story, neither would he be.
Xion had even created a separate dimension, using Merlin's knowledge, for this was the method the old man used to hide from the ascended. He entered the dimension, dragging the pair of elders with him, lest the Ascended break his rules and steal the old man, to hide him who knew where. There was nothing unusual about the dimension, nor did he sense any change, so Xion did not linger long in it and returned after an hour, bringing the elders with him.
Merlin's knowledge was valuable, for it was thousands of years ahead of any advanced civilization in this galaxy or any other that Xion knew of, for it came from the ascended and included weapons capable of killing gods. Even this old man had confronted the Ascended after leaving their ranks and pretending to leave behind any knowledge of them upon returning to the mortal plane. However, he had cheated and not only retained his knowledge with which he planned to exterminate the Ori, but also retained a great deal of power.
By the time the Ascended realized his deception, he was already well protected and safe in another dimension that he himself created. Despite this, the Ascended were not easy to deal with and in the end they managed to defeat and almost kill him.
-How ironic," said Xion. This old man had been one of Janus' main opponents and was also one of those who imposed the most punishments. He was rigid and stern, but after ascending, he became a black sheep himself and wreaked his own havoc, even offering power to ordinary humans.
Xion sighed. In spite of everything, this old man who managed to overcome his tree-hugger side was a hero, for he had sacrificed everything because he knew that someday the Ori would find the Milky Way galaxy and enslave all intelligent life in it, killing off the non-human species.
Xion wasn't sure if he should wake them up or not, but in the end he activated the two pods and both elders awoke and came out of them to look at him. Xion had already recorded in their minds all the basic information about who he was and what he was doing at that moment.
-"Emperor, I will be eternally grateful to you for allowing me to witness the end of my sworn enemies," said Marcellus. Xion nodded and transported him to the bridge to watch the final preparations.
-You have acquired my knowledge," said Merlin with a smile. And I had nothing to do with it, they cannot harm you," he said with satisfaction. Xion nodded.
-At this moment, this ship, which is part of me, is integrating all that knowledge. However, I will not create weapons against the Ascended. I have other plans for the Ori, and at this time they pose no threat to us," Xion lied.
-It seems that humans did turn out to be the evolution after our species, free and without any of our limitations," said Merlin.
-It has its consequences, it is a mess of beliefs and divisions, but we survived and adapted," said Xion pointing to himself. Right now, I am preparing to make sure that our victories do not turn into chaos. Would you care to join me? There is a vacant emperor position that I believe you are the one to fill. You can also ascend and return to your own…" the old man's expression was one of displeasure.
-I have always stood with those who stay alive and struggle to survive," he said, and Xion nodded.
-Then let's go," said Xion, beaming to the bridge, from where they could see a gigantic Stargate two kilometers in diameter. They were on the outskirts of the Lantean system and waiting for the countdown to cross into the Milky Way.
On the bridge of the Titan, there were several guests. Xion appeared on the Asgard throne, and Merlin next to Marcello and the rest of the guests. These guests were Daniel, Carter, General Hammond, Marcello and Merlin. Teal'c, Master Bra'tac, the Jaffa and the To'ra'ks were spread out in fifteen Ha'taks that stood on either side of the Titan.
-This is Marcello, the last survivor of a people exterminated by the Goa'uld. They were the main reason no Goa'uld ship ever reached Earth before," Xion explained. His former team and General Hammond were quick to thank Marcello, who nodded with a stoic expression, but with eyes heavy with pain and fatigue.
-And this is Merlin, a Lantean who traveled to our galaxy and then ascended, but seeing that the galaxy was in danger, he changed his mind and decided to return. However, things didn't go well and he's been having a hard time until now," Xion introduced. Merlin nodded with a grimace.
-I suppose if I had not been rescued, my fate would have been death and oblivion," said Merlin with a regretful sigh.
-Another ascended one! -Carter exclaimed in amazement. Daniel blinked several times.
-Sir, it is an honor to meet you. The Nox have spoken well of the Ascended…" Daniel closed his mouth as Merlin glared at them, making it clear that his relationship with the Ascended was not a good one.
-Merlin must have broken some rules for the safety of the galaxy, and that made the Ascended try to… correct him," Xion said diplomatically. You could say they're at odds," he added to stop Daniel and Carter from talking about the Ascended any more in front of Merlin.
-If you break the rules of the Ascended, they try to… correct you," Daniel blinked, and he, Carter and General Hammond looked at him. Xion looked at them menacingly.
-My status is one hundred percent legal, I haven't broken any rules. I have obtained everything using mortal means, though I must admit, without the knowledge Merlin retained, things would have taken much longer. In the end, we made a good team, although it was Merlin who paid the price," Xion explained.
With his current knowledge, he would no longer need Asgard technology, as these were thousands of years ahead, being the technology of the highest existence in this universe. Of course, Merlin didn't keep everything, he left the most important, but still, that was a lot, and he already knew where to get the rest. Daniel and Carter looked at him accusingly. Xion looked at them menacingly at their veiled accusations.
-Xion, you always seem to get everything without paying anything in return. Are you sure you haven't broken the rules? -Daniel asked with some concern.
-Daniel, since there is no Ascended here trying to erase my existence, you can be sure I haven't violated their rules," said Xion.
-I can assure you of that," said Merlin vindictively. He too had assumed that Xion was an Ascended One, because only an Ascended One could get to where he was without paying a high price for it. His team breathed a sigh of relief.
-Well, the time has come," said Xion, opening four screens on the bridge. These four screens showed three command bridges of the Ha'tak ships around him, two of them led by Teal'c and Bra'tac, and one led by Egeria. The last screen showed a stargate floating in the void of space, which was being activated at that moment.
-The enemy is aware of your arrival," Xion said, and the map of the galaxy in front of the throne lit up, to indicate that his biospheres were transmitting to all the Goa'uld planets and servants of the Goa'uld.
At this time, on each of these worlds, the image of the fourth screen was being displayed, and it was a transmission that was projected into the sky of each world, and which no Goa'uld could interfere with, and all could see.
The fourth screen showed the stargate connecting and creating a portal from which what looked like small ships shot out of the portal. The view widened, and it showed how these ships formed a circle two kilometers in diameter. Then, the small stargate shut down, and the massive stargate began to activate, at the same time as the one in front of them did.
…
As the stargate connected, three Ha'tak ships arrived on the scene, and opened fire on it without asking questions or attempting to speak, but their plasma shots were stopped by a shield more than ten kilometers away from the gate.
-It is time to found the Rising empire, with the fall of the Goa'uld empire," Xion declared solemnly, as the massive Stargate activated, and connected the Milky Way galaxy, with the Pegasus galaxy.
-For the free Jaffa and the Rising Empire! -declared Teal'c and Bra'tac.
-For the end of the Goa'uld empire!" declared Egeria, and the fifteen Ha'tak crossed the Stargate in succession, appearing on the fourth screen, exiting into the milky way, and all at once activating shields and firing on the enemy Ha'tak.
…
Numerical superiority destroyed one of the Ha'tak while the other two retreated into hyperspace with heavy damage, Xion guessed there were Goa'uld in them, for the Jaffa would not retreat from a battle, even if it was lost.
…
The battle was broadcast into the skies of the Goa'uld worlds, and then the bridge of the ship Teal'c commanded was shown. Seeing his own image on the screen, he stood up and, looking forward, began to speak.
-Brother jaffa, you who are slaves under Goa'uld tyranny, deceived by false gods and fearful of a power that does not belong to you. I am Teal'c, a jaffa like yourselves. And like you, I once served the false god Apophis. My father, like your fathers, was also a jaffa who served the false god Cronus and was killed by him. Like you, I am a proud warrior and father of a son, as are some of you.
"But today, before you, I stand as a free jaffa who has opened his eyes and can see that, because of my ignorance, I came to see divinity in a miserable parasite.
"I Teal'c, today I will prove to you all, that the goa'uld are not gods and that they have no power other than that which we, the jaffa, bestow upon them. We are their strength and yet we kneel before them.
"Therefore, today I have come before you to show you the truth and to join me in my joy of being free jaffa, away from Goa'uld slavery.
"Today I come to show you the future of the jaffa, a future free from the Goa'uld yoke. I want you to accompany me and see with your own eyes how the false gods are powerless before our strength, the strength of the Jaffa," Teal'c said and the screen changed again, showing the fleet arriving at Dakara and facing a fleet of eight Ha'tak who assumed battle positions.
…
The screen split in two, showing the space battle and also a ring platform in the temple that was activated. Teal'c, along with a group of five jaffa, beamed up and appeared under fire from the jaffa guarding the site. These did not take long to fire when they saw that they were enemies, but the plasma blasts hit the armor of Teal'c and his group, which absorbed the damage before activating the shields.
The jaffa accompanying Teal'c wore helmets with a stylized design and embossed ancient runes that resembled the silhouette of a face. However, Teal'c only activated his helmet after arriving to make it clear that he was leading the battle.
In the hands of Teal'c and his warriors, weapons of human design materialized whose shape was reminiscent of an assault rifle, but were plasma repeaters that fired blasts at a speed and accuracy unmatched by a Goa'uld staff. With these weapons, Teal'c's group shot down their rivals as more jaffa transported behind them, kicking off a ground invasion.
…
The screen split once again to show the bridge of a Ha'tak where Bra'tac stood directing the space battle. Meanwhile, the Ha'tak Goa'uld were releasing their bombers and death gliders.
Bra'tac ordered his own fighters released, but none of the bombers, as they outgunned the enemy. His aim was to deal only with the death gliders to prevent them from firing on the ground troops, who numbered only two hundred and were already at a distinct disadvantage against the thousand defenders. Soon reinforcements would also arrive through the Stargate, which was Teal'c's target. However, this was already being activated and the System Lords were not about to allow Dakara to fall.
The map of the galaxy showed all their forces in the vicinity marching towards Dakara, including lesser Goa'uld Lords who were mercenaries and whom the System Lords were contacting and offering rewards to bring their forces to bear. Altogether, more than fifty Ha'tak were on their way to Dakara.
In the original series, Dakara was taken over when the Replicators invaded the Milky Way and barely Ba'al was able to send five Ha'tak to defend Dakara, as the rest of the Lords had been killed. But this was not the current situation, as this was the heyday of the System Lords. With all the commotion they were causing, even the last of them felt outrage and knew that if they did not put an end to Teal'c's rebellion, it would be the end of them. Therefore, all their forces would be used against them.
…
Xion watched as nearly a hundred death gliders attempted to descend to the planet, but Bra'tac deployed fifty upgraded fighters with shield systems, sensors and flight assistance for the pilots. The Goa'uld death gliders began to fall rapidly.
Meanwhile, Bra'tac was not idle and maintained communication with the ships he was fighting, urging them to surrender and join his rebellion against the false gods. However, the Goa'uld leading the defense fleet repeatedly cursed him and heeded him not.
Bra'tac knew he had no time and gave him only one minute to surrender. At the end of that time, he ordered the use of probes and eight were fired at the eight Goa'uld ships, piercing their shields as if they were not there and impacting their shield generators.
These probes were not empire technology, but a collaboration of the Lanteans, because they considered themselves responsible for the rise of the Goa'uld in the Milky Way, and wanted to collaborate with the fall of their empire.
Once their shields were down, Bra'tac ordered cease fire and activated the ring platforms, taking the enemy commanders by surprise as the battle shifted to their own bridges.
…
Bra'tac's objective was accomplished only a minute later, when he himself captured the goa'uld leading the fleet and began to beat him hand-to-hand in front of his own jaffa. The latter could only blink, watching their almighty god receive a deadly beating from an elderly jaffa.
…
In the temple, things were not going well for Teal'c, who had not yet reached the portal. From this portal, groups of jaffa were coming out, reinforcing the place, but each time a portal opened, they were reinforcements from a different goa'uld lord. The defending forces were not united, so Teal'c still maintained a perimeter one kilometer from the portal with his one hundred jaffa.
However, this changed when Master Bra'tac plunged his hand into the neck of the Goa'uld leading the defending fleet and extracted the symbiote, crushing it with his hand. All the jaffa, both the defenders in the temple and those on the ships commanded by the goa'uld, witnessed this, as their systems had been infiltrated.
The jaffa in the defending fleet were quick to support Bra'tac and pledge allegiance loudly. With this, the ring platforms were activated and reinforcements began to arrive at Teal'c. In addition, the fighters released by Bra'tac were already in action and launched against the defending forces. Though there were doubts for a few seconds, as the slain goa'uld was not their own god, the defenders' faith held out and they continued to fight to protect the portal as more jaffa arrived to defend Dakara.
Still, with over four thousand jaffa from the defending fleet and Bra'tac fighters descending to clear the area, Teal'c advanced once again and managed to take the portal in barely an hour. He placed an artifact that activated a shield over the portal, preventing further reinforcements from getting through.
…
Teal'c once again took up the entire screen. His armor showed signs of having been hit by heavy cannon fire, as it was somewhat damaged, and a trickle of blood came from his mouth as he removed his helmet. Still, his eyes looked determined and his expression was resolute as he showed the battlefield where he won his quick victory, with thousands fallen.
-Brothers, the Goa'uld are false gods, and here is the proof. Dakara has fallen and at no time have we witnessed the power of a god. This is simply a battle of jaffa versus jaffa. As I said before, we are the strength of these false gods. Without us, they are nothing.
"Therefore, do not fear, join me, the goa'uld are nothing….
-"Ba'al is my god, and my soul will dwell in his realm when my life comes to an end," stammered a fallen jaffa at Teal'c's side. His wounds were mortal and he was already saying goodbye to the world, but he did not forget to give merit to his god.
-Then go to your god," said Teal'c, materializing a plasma pistol and firing at the pouch where the symbiote was carried, causing instant death. He then ordered two of his guards to lift the body while he materialized a small vial with a needle.
-"Ba'al, if you are indeed a god, you have already taken the soul of this loyal warrior who died in your service," said Teal'c, injecting the liquid contained in the syringe into the deceased jaffa.
This syringe contained nanites that began to repair the jaffa's body, which scientifically speaking, was not really dead, since its cells were still alive and only its organs were in a state of shock. After a few minutes, the jaffa came back to life, looking at Teal'c in amazement.
-Are you a god? -asked the jaffa.
-No, brother, I am no different than you. I have used no divine power. This is simply the knowledge that the Goa'uld withhold from us to keep the Jaffa ignorant and loyal to them.
"Now answer, have you seen your god? Has he claimed the soul of one of his faithful? Or have I, a mere mortal, been able to snatch a soul from him? -Teal'c asked. The jaffa looked at himself and then at Teal'c.
-Goa'uld are not gods," the jaffa stated with determination. Teal'c nodded and reached out to materialize a whole case of syringes. The jaffa opened his eyes wide.
-Then let us let it be known to all those who have fallen defending false gods, and let them tell us if their god has come for their soul," Teal'c said solemnly.
…
With his words, the captured jaffa, who kept grunting and struggling to free themselves, asking to be executed, stopped fighting. Each time one of them fell and got up, more jaffa asked to join Teal'c's cause.
…
The screen split once again, showing other jaffa throughout the galaxy beginning to rebel against their overlords, even on the ships that were sent to defend Dakara. However, the transmission focused on a ship belonging to Ba'al, who was threatening one of his jaffa with blowing up the ship with his supposed divine power if he did not give up his life for his disobedience. Before he finished his threat, Ba'al saw himself on the transmission.
-"Ba'al, false god, if you have such power, do it," Teal'c challenged, who like other Jaffa knew that the Goa'uld could have remote control over the ships that served them, and could destroy them or disable their systems. Some ships did not have this system, but Ba'al did.
What Ba'al did not know, but Teal'c did, was that all of their control systems had been hacked by them at the beginning of the attack.
The Jaffa of the Ha'tak in rebellion, finding themselves in transmission, swore allegiance to Teal'c, accepting their possible deaths at Ba'al's hands as a sacrifice for Jaffa freedom. However, Teal'c assured them that they would be fine and again challenged Ba'al to destroy the ship. Ba'al seemed to think so, but in reality he had already sent the self-destruct signal three times and the ship did not respond.
Ba'al cut the transmission, but to his surprise, this did not work either and it was still on the screen. The Jaffa with him on the bridge of his flagship frowned at his helplessness.
Ba'al's primate fired at one of his jaffa realizing that he would soon be attacked, but the other jaffa was already firing at him and more jaffa moved in to fire at Ba'al. Being a coward, Ba'al fled using the ring platform to head for a cargo platform and abandon his ship.
Xion could have stopped him and locked him up to fall into the hands of his jaffa, but he focused on Ba'al, as he was counting on him to flee to save his own skin. Everything was recorded on camera.
Ba'al's jaffa shrieked in outrage when he left their flagship, but they looked more embarrassed than outraged. To serve a false god was an outrageous thing, but to serve a coward was a humiliation to their own honor. Some of them demonstrated their fury by drawing their daggers and tearing off the mark of Ba'al. The Jaffa were somewhat radical.
…
Xion smiled, for he knew that Ba'al's escape would have a greater effect on the jaffa than his own death. His escape was proof that he feared death, and only mortals fear death. This was inconceivable for a god.
…
-It seems that this theocratic empire has already crumbled," said Merlin.
-Our struggle was in vain. We should never have considered the Jaffa as enemies," Marcello lamented.
Xion thought that in any war, knowing your enemy was the most important thing. If Marcello's people had known that undermining the Jaffa's loyalty would be the end of the Goa'uld empire, they would have fought an entirely different war.
…
The broadcast did not stop and for several days showed the fall of Goa'uld overlords, both great and small. Some jaffa remained loyal, but they were only five or six out of a thousand, and all were eliminated.
Some condemned Goa'uld chose suicide, but were placed in sarcophagi to receive brutal deaths. Jaffa justice was merciless.
Many leaders emerged in this rebellion, but none had as many followers as Teal'c and Bra'tac, who was credited with the fall of the first god.
…
A week after the rebellion began, the Rising Empire was officially formed. For this purpose, the space station that the lords of the Goa'uld system used for their meetings was used as the headquarters.
All Jaffa leaders were invited to join this meeting, and in it, Teal'c spoke to them about the possibilities and the future he saw for the Jaffa. He urged them to remain warriors, but no longer in the service of false gods, but in the service of their own interests as jaffa, as warriors of the Rising Empire.
…
Xion was watching everything from the bridge of his ship when an Asgard ship came out of hyperspace a few thousand kilometers from the Titan's position, which was in stealth mode.
On the bridge there was only him, and his only companions on the Titan were the wraith, who were stored in the cargo holds and would sleep for about a hundred years, until he decided to wake them up to see if they sought peace or if they preferred to continue sleeping for another thousand years. If they refused a second time, then he would turn them into biomass and store them as another resource.
Xion sent a hail signal to the Asgard ship that lined up beside him as it reached him. The Asgard ship responded to his greeting with a transmission, which Xion accepted, and a hologram of Thor on his own Asgard throne appeared before him. Xion raised an eyebrow.
-Thor, have you grown a few inches? -Xion asked, noticing the radical change in the little gray troll, who now stood five feet tall and looked muscular. And he said "looked" because he was wearing a tunic.
Thor, whose face was rounder and showed a smaller brain, smiled, which made Xion blink.
-Our knowledge was more than you expected? -Thor asked arrogantly. Xion rolled his eyes, though it was obvious that these gray dwarves had already found the cure for their genetic degeneration or had made great strides in it.
In fact, the fact that Thor wore clothes also indicated that they had regained their reproductive ability. Though imagining such things of these gray dwarves was disturbing, and Xion pushed those thoughts from his mind.
-I may have underestimated their genetic technology a bit," Xion admitted, though he knew these guys were hardly capable of making a human clone. They really wouldn't make much progress without the Alteran genetic file. Xion relayed some data about the bio-nanites.
-They've made progress, but clearly they still have a ways to go. So be more humble and accept the help of a friend," said Xion.
-"Little children," said Thor, frowning with his new frown. Xion bared his teeth.
-I created them specifically with you in mind," Xion said mischievously.
To give them a cure that included nanite technology to the Asgard was almost an insult to them. Surely his entire council was frowning at his gift, just as Thor was at this moment.
-These bio-nanites can integrate with your bodies and, in a short time, will have assimilated your genetic material, producing results that none of your research can improve upon. There is no genetic disease or biological entity that will overcome this creation, because they are based on a species whose cells are quite aggressive," Xion explained. So far, he had not come up with anything even remotely resembling wraith cells. Thor grimaced.
-Why do I feel you have other alternatives at your disposal and you just want to inconvenience us? -Thor asked suspiciously. He had guessed, but Xion put on an innocent face.
-Thor, don't tell me the great commander of the Asgard fleet is afraid of a little medical treatment," Xion said. Thor grimaced again.
-I will present your gift to the council," said Thor.
-I have more for you," said Xion, sending Lantea's coordinates. I know you were separated long ago, but I think a reunion would be a good thing for you. Besides, the Lanteans are too busy managing the mess the wraith left behind. By the time I left Atlantis, there were many people who wanted to visit you because your city warned them of your presence. Surely they would appreciate some administrative cooperation," Xion said. Thor blinked several times.
-They have also managed to survive," said Thor. Xion smiled in his mind, for he knew that in the Pegasus galaxy they would meet other Asgard.
Xion knew they were there, but since they were Asgard, dealing with them was the Asgard's business, not his.
…
At the end of the meeting, the Jaffa joined the Rising Empire en masse, but not all of them. Some claimed planets and factories and intended to continue using slaves to build more ships and serve as Goa'uld overlords. Faced with this, Teal'c acted immediately, invading their planets and executing them to free the slaves on behalf of the free jaffa and the Rising empire, which declared itself sovereign over all the territory that previously belonged to the Goa'uld: all their worlds and all their resources, by right of conquest.
Jaffa who did not join the Rising empire were free to leave, but could not take slaves or claim planets, since it was the Rising empire that conquered the Goa'uld empire, not any group of independent Jaffa.
They were only granted the spoils of war of what they had conquered with their own hands, such as ships, weapons and resources. Planets and factories were not part of the booty, but territory of the new empire, and their capture was compensated with ships or weapons, according to the preference of these groups. With this declaration, many more jaffa joined the empire, realizing that there was no way to become overlords.
Furthermore, the Jaffa valued the right of conquest, and Teal'c indeed had this right.
As for those who chose to stay apart, as Xion predicted, they became mercenaries, working for money, and soon lost all their followers, as that was a dishonor for a warrior. In an anarchy, it was acceptable, but now there was Teal'c, appealing to the honor of the Jaffa, and it was a constant reminder of their dishonor.
…
Thus ten years passed, and Xion had already been in this universe for more than twelve years. The nascent empire already had over a thousand worlds established, with millions of people on them, and in about a hundred years, they would be the greatest power in this galaxy.
During these ten years, as planet after planet was founded, the Jaffa took it upon themselves to protect their security from small rebellious Jaffa groups or small anarchic or rebellious groups that sought to become the new Goa'uld overlords of their territory.
However, with an army of tens of millions of jaffa and a fleet of more than three thousand ships, between captured and created, the jaffa army had no rival, and the empire grew without stopping, uniting the old Goa'uld worlds and those that were abandoned by them.
Xion was no longer needed, and his throne was now occupied by Merlin, who watched over everything in case the Ori, whom he considered his true enemy, should arrive. To prevent that, Xion had already revealed the place where Merlin stored his treasures to Earth and had claimed the intergalactic communication artifact so that no one would reach the Ori galaxy.
Now there were only two things left for him to do, both of which were important so that his work would not go awry, but they were threats best faced as a god. For that, he could either ascend, which was a bad plan because he would be pushed around, or he could become a god and use his new knowledge to improve himself.
He also had the possibility of creating the anti-ascendant weapon and sending it to the Ori galaxy, because thanks to Merlin he knew its coordinates, but that would take away the possibility of learning many things about the Ori, so he discarded that plan.
…
-People, it's time to go to sleep, but I'll be back to see how things are going later," said Xion, saying goodbye, while the Titan entered hyperspace and, in an hour, was already three galaxies away from the Milky Way, moving fifty years in the past.
Xion activated the ship's security and went to sleep, to give his divine cells time to assimilate his body, turning him into a god and giving him back all his divine abilities.
