Kingly Adventures

Chapter 77 - 78: Spiritual Worlds and Afterlife

Alexander thought, " Let's see what information my bloodline has given me. Oh!! I thought that the physical worlds were brutal but spiritual worlds are much more brutal. Ok!!! So, according to this information package, the spiritual worlds survive on the spiritual power of the souls and act as a natural cleaner for the souls. They take in the soul after it's exist from the physical world, absorb it's spiritual power and during the absorption, the memories of the soul are erased. After the absorption, the soul is tossed out to the physical world where it enters whatever life form is available and once again starts living a life and accumulating soul power. This process continues till the world to which the spiritual world is attached exists. After that, it drifts in the void searching for new unoccupied world while fighting and devouring the spiritual worlds like it which are also roaming the void. A spiritual world exists till it's reservoir of spiritual power is not completely empty and if it becomes empty, then it's end of the line for the world."

Alexander further goes over the information, " So, that's the reason behind the mark. When a spiritual world gets attached to a physical world than it marks all the souls in that world as his food or property or whatever. When the soul enters the spiritual world, the mark warns the roaming spiritual world that this is someone else's property. Generally, the soul is taken in by the world which has marked it before it is subjected to the ravenrous spiritual worlds roaming outside. The fate of markless soul was not pretty. It undergoes the same fate as a piece of meat before a group of hungry tiger. That's why force was saying that the markless soul gets destroyed.

The physical world also protects the marked soul and watches over it as it is able to track the movement of the soul through the mark in the spiritual world. Now, what benefit died the physical world had in protecting the soul? The soul is created from the life energy of the world. As a living being excludes life energy simply by existing, if there is a resident spiritual world, the investment in creating the soul is returned after 3 to 4 rebirths and after that the world gains free life energy as long as it exists. A world needs life energy to survive and by simple existing, the world laws are born, evolve and ultimately the world itself evolves. So, what is the ultimate evolution of the spiritual world? It is afterlife. There are billions of souls in the lowest grade afterlife. These souls simply by remaining in the afterlife generate spiritual energy but it is quite less in comparison to the returning souls but still the spiritual world which has now evolved into afterlife is no longer in danger of perishing. The afterlife then bonds with the physical world and completely integrates with it."

Alexander thought, " After integration, a new world is born which is complete. There is no longer any loss of life or spiritual energy and the world becomes stable and there is no danger of imminent perishing. The world could still end if something unexpected happens like the natives blowing themselves up but it is safe relatively speaking as countless worlds get destroyed every second in existence. This new world then head towards it's next evolution and after a few million to trillion years, depending on the grade of the world and if the world survives till then , a god is born whose job is to take care of the world and protect it from any harm. The higher grade world develop faster. Now, the god has certain discretion in his actions but he cannot harm the world significantly. Now, according to this package, since, I have conquered this world is a relatively new world with no significant development except surviving, I am the sole owner of this world and any future gods taking birth in my kingdom would be my subjects. But, the birth of God will take millions of years. Till then, it is possible that I would have an entire army of gods or I would have died, who knows?"

Alexander turned his attention to force and examined her. The force had not lost her divinity but it had gone dormant to save itself. Steady supply of power for a few tens of thousand years would heal her back. Alexander had an idea to save the force. Alexander spoke up, " I may have a way to save you."

The force asked hopefully, " How?"

Alexander, " You will get reborn. You will not remember who you are but you will live. It's better than getting destroyed in the void."

The force thought for a few minutes and said, " I agree."

Alexander, " Wait here till I remove this connection from you. Ah!!! How do I go back?"

The force giggled and said, " You control this world. Simply, will yourself to go back."

Alexander nodded in embarrassment and willed himself back. Alexander felt himself slamming into something hard and opened his eyes to find himself lying on the floor of his penthouse in Corellia. Alexander's whole body was aching and he thought in irritation, " It seems like I will need to have a talk with force about the definition of being fine."

It took Alexander 5 minutes to regain his strength and Alexander stood up groaning. Alexander arrived before the realm gate hidden on Corellia and returned to his kingdom. Alexander shifted to the platform and stopped for a second to admire it's beauty. The pillar was pure white and so smooth that it looked like it was carved from a single piece of giant white rock. The nine deep blue gems were shining brightly giving it a mystical and otherwordly glow. Alexander shook himself out of his reverie and climbed the platform and placed his hand on the pillar.

A image of his kingdom and all the planets that he had conquered in the star wars world appeared in his mind. Alexander first ȧssimilated all the planets in his kingdom on the spiritual level as physical ȧssimilation was impossible at this moment. Then, Alexander turned his attention to the spiritual world and removed it's connection to the force and quickly connected it to his kingdom. Now, the spiritual world would draw it's power from his kingdom. Alexander saw as a white bubble flew towards his kingdom from the star wars world and slowly started merging with his kingdom After few hours, the merging was complete, Alexander saw his kingdom encased in a crystal clear bubble. Alexander thought, " This is the representation that my kingdom is now complete and there will be no loss of souls of my subjects on dying."

As Alexander was connected to his whole kingdom. Alexander felt the mark appearing on every living being present on his kingdom from microscopic animals to humans and Ballastians, the beings who were his subjects in star wars were marked too. Alexander felt innumerable souls entering the newly created pseudo afterlife and for one moment panicked. Alexander was relieved when he saw that it was only the souls residing in the microscopic animals. As Alexander was in full control of the afterlife, he changed the laws to alert him when some anomaly appears or something big happens. Alexander also made the law that the souls will remain in deep sleep as their spritual power is absorbed and their memories is erased. Alexander let out a sigh of relief and contacted the force residing in the spiritual world.

Alexander, " Force!!! I have set up the afterlife and the process will start now." Alexander started the afterlife and partially shut himself off from the afterlife. If something major happens, he would be send an alert.

Alexander heard the Force message, " Thank You, Master!!!! I have decided to leave this life behind." Alexander felt the force entering sleep and smiled as he genuinely felt that force was treated quite a bad hand in life. Alexander measured the spiritual power in the force and estimated that it would take 250 years for the force to reborn. Alexander gave the knowledge that there was now a afterlife in the kingdom and there is no need to worry about having their souls destroyed on death to his subjects. Alexander also warned his subjects that one should not disturb the dead and not to search and inquire about the afterlife in any form. The punishment for this would be dire. Alexander felt a way of happiness from his subjects as quite a few people were inwardly worried about their complete destruction after death.

Alexander moved to the R&D Department to meet with Dr. Anderson who was the lead scientist for the developing the equipment for the next major expedition of Alexander. Alexander arrived at the lab and show many people in lab coats hurrying here and there with files. Some youths were discussing something in a corner. The whole atmosphere of the room was quite serious but had undercurrents of excitement and anticipation in the air. Alexander was able to sense all this in force. As Alexander was observing the surroundings, he heard someone calling him from behind. Alexander turned and saw a Italian young man coming towards him. Alexander could see that the guy was quite arrogant and ċȯċky.

Alexander thought, " Heavens Above!!! I hope this is not the situation in which the arrogant but smart fellow insults an out of place person who is in secret, the chief guest or owner of the place, he is working at."

The Italian scientist or lab ȧssistant or whatever came up to Alexander and placed a hand on his shoulder and tried to pressure it. This act alone made the dragon bloodline inside Alexander to literally thrash in fury. Alexander heard the fellow say in a condensing and loud voice, " BRO!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? THIS IS NOT THE PLACE FOR YOU. WATCHMEN ARE SUPPOSED TO STAND OUTSIDE."

Alexander saw that the various scientists and lab ȧssistants stop and watch the drama. Alexander also saw that some of them were watching in amusement directed at him. Alexander had put up a disguise and was touring his kingdom to know the ground reality of his kingdom. Alexander was quite pleased to see that his subjects were happy and the development of his kingdom was steady. The crystal buildings were quite good to look at and there were hanging gardens on the every other building. The walkways were covered in trees and the air was clean and refreshing. Alexander had felt quite relaxed while walking through the green walkways.

Alexander was dressed in normal civilian clothes and had transformed into a British teenager with average looks. Alexander was quite vexed on how to deal with this situation. Alexander thought, " Should I break his hands or his legs or both? Decisions!! Decisions!!"

The fellow was still talking in loud voice and whatever he was saying was pretty insulting as judged by the expressions of people surrounding Alexander. As Alexander was lost in his thoughts, he didn't hear what the Ponce said and frankly he was not interested in knowing what the arrogant fellow said but Alexander was not going to let him go unpunished.

Alexander caught his arm which was placed on his shoulder and ripped it straight out of the socket. The arm came out in a shower of flesh, lots of blood and pieces of bones. Alexander put up a timely shield to protect himself from getting showered in the unpleasant bits but the surroundings were not so lucky, quite a few white coats now had patches of red on them. It took a few seconds for the pain to register but the pain did register and the arrogant fellow let out a wail of agony and collapsed on the floor while crying in a voice which sounded extremely horrid to Alexander's ears. Alexander immediately silenced the fellow.

Alexander, " Oh!! What a relief!! Why are you crying so much, it's just an arm, any ritualistic healer can fix it up in a few minutes.... Stop giving such hateful expressions to me..... I was in such a great mood but you ruined it and you also said some really offensive things about me, which frankly I don't want to know. Just apologise and we will call it even....Here, let me put a numbing and clotting charm on you.....Now, you are not in a danger of dying and would not feel pain also..... Now, apologise and I will let this go."

The fellow spat out in anger, " Apologise.....Apologise.....I will not apologise to barbarians like you. I will call the Imperial Police to take you away and make you stand on a trial. Since, His Majesty, has set up an afterlife, Capital punishments are now allowed. An illiterate fellow may not know this but the law department had announced this after a few minutes of His Majesty's declaration on their website. I will have you hanged for this."

Alexander watched in amusement at the frothing man and said, " Nothing will happen to me. Instead, you will not be able to see this day's sunset. You will die quite a bad and painful death at the hands of sadists." Before the frothing fellow could respond, a female scientist came forward with a pale face and bowed, " Greetings, Your Majesty!!"

Alexander was quite surprised that someone recognised him and asked, " How did you recognised me?"

The female scientist said in a respectable tone, " My cousin Jonathan told me that only The Emperor calls the Imperial Interrogators and Punishers as sadists. I also recognised you from your gait as it matched the one told by my cousin."

Alexander muttered while removing his disguise, " I need more training in disguising. Back to the Boot Camp, I must go." Alexander heard gasps of surprise and sounds of bones creaking as people hurriedly bowed to him. Alexander turned his attention to the disarmed fellow and saw that he had fainted from shock.

Alexander vanished all the gore from the surroundings and people and spoke in an authoritative tone, " Take him to healer. Tell him that he would have to run 3,000 ŀȧps on the sadists' track. Also, tell him to prepare himself as the sadists are not going to go easy on him. You all can resume your work. I am going to meet Dr. Anderson." After that, Alexander shifted to Dr. Anderson's lab.
