Beta sphere. This is the capital of a universe. Everything that happens in a universe is controlled by them. And the important figures of a universe is also stayed on the Beta sphere
There is a head research team in there. They are researching the stability of energy and the subject of multiversal equilibrium. Because it is the most important thing that affects the security of a universe.
It was the A1 universe, and the current temporary knight of that universe is Saint. And about the knight, the knight is the king of the universe who protects their universe from threats. And about Saint, he is not the permanent knight; his original duty is to control the works on the Betasphere, and in rank-wise, he is just below the knight rank. And the original knight of the A1 universe is on the sickbed. His health is very bad, and a rumor is spreading that he is going to die. Just like the knight, there is only 1 saint for each universe.
Saint is currently sitting on a sofa in the head of the science department. And the president and a chief guardian are standing in front of him. Bowing their heads. Saint looked at their faces and said,
"Why did you call me?"
"We saw fluctuations in the energy that was coming to our universe," the president said.
"And the probability that affects our existence is very high," the chief guardian continued.
The president is wearing a white dress. Like other scientists. And the guardian is dressed very neatly and fashionably, like a king. And the saint just wears a grey t-shirt with the pants in the same color.
"Oh... that is really bad," Saint leaned forward and said calmly.
"In this condition it was really bad, sir," Guardian continued, "because our knight is on a sickbed...." He suddenly stopped it. Because he knows that it is unnecessary to continue it, Saint knows the seriousness better than anyone. So there is no need to explain it briefly. Saint just hummed back. Within a flash of a second, his face turned serious.
He is thinking something serious. It lasts for a minute. And suddenly he stood up from that sofa and commanded
"Prepare the knight selection" to them. And this is how the selection happened, and Zup passed the preliminary test.
And now Zup is preparing the backpack. And packing the essential things for the journey. This time he is sure that he will get the selection. In the previous two times. He lost to the current knight. But now he is half dead and not in the condition to fight. So his scary dream is gone.
The knight selection will happen every year. So that your knight rank will expire after a year. If you are interested in becoming a knight again. You want to pass the test again. This is not only the rule in the A1 universe. Most of the universe follows this rule. To make their knight stronger every year. But there are also some exceptional universes.
The current knight is lying on the bed. He is sick. He can't even stand. That is how bad his condition is. In other words, he is half dead. But he is able to talk anyway. But not clearly; his words will break at some points. So that it is difficult to catch up with him.
And there is a nurse. She is the one who will treat the knight. She is always with him, caring. But at some moments, Saint will come there for some serious discussions. And that is the only time she leaves the knight. Saint constantly checks the room and asks about his health. And when the time of discussion arrives, only the nurse leaves the room. The knight won't talk anything back normally. He will hear everything that saint is saying. And sometimes he will try to nod. But it is difficult for him. He knows he wants to do so many things for his universe, but his body won't allow it. Because of that, he is sad, very sad. He'll shed tears when he thinks he's alone, but the nurse always manages to catch him in his most vulnerable moments.
In the darkest space of the B10 universe, there was a planet, and it was blinking like a star. And that is the Betasphere of that universe. And there was an old black fort; it was the strongest fort in the multiverse. A rare piece that was made using black stone. The black stone is the strongest metal in the multiverse. The knight of the B10 universe lives there in that fort. The fort is surrounded by pale white walls. And there was a throne in the hall of that fort. And the knight is sitting there, and his name is Søldrig; he is a gigantic man. With a metal dress, like a warrior. He has a big gun-like weapon that is lying on the ground beside him. And the saint of that B10 universe, his name was Sasent. He went in the front of the søldrig and said, by showing a big old book,
"this is the rise of the walls book that I mentioned."
Søldrig looked at him, emotionless. Sasent continued
"This book is all about our fort…and its history…and written by an old, unknown historian," Sasent rubbed on his hairless head and said. Sasent was an old man with a hairless head and a beardless face. And he is covered in a big white and red cloth. It is so big that it can fully cover that man. And also, assent is short.
"Is this that old?" Søldrig asked. Like its answer, some of the pages fell to the ground from it. Sasent bent down and picked the pages back. Then looked at the face of Søldrig.
"Give me," he took the book and the fallen pages from Sasent. It was the first 3 pages. So it is easy for him to replace. His eyes ran through the pages and the words on them. He is a lazy, kind person, so he is not interested in reading the whole book at once. So he only read first 3 pages and give it back by saying
"This is very boring, like a history book."
"Yes…because this was a history book," Sasent shouted.
"You can take this shit back," Søldrig replied. Sasent gave him back a smile. He knows that the knight is not interested in reading it. He took it back and was gone.
Søldrig will spend most of his time sitting on the throne and commanding others. He doesn't have any other activities or hobbies, but sometimes he will watch some movies or TV shows. Only if he feels that bored. But Sasent is opposite to him. He will spend most of his time reading and researching about their universe and multiverse. He is also interested in history. So sometimes he will read some history books like this. He was a brilliant guy but not that strong.
On the other hand, the current knight of A1 Saint has a lot of things to do. He wants to perform both of his roles, as a knight and the controller. He doesn't have any time to relax. He was a hardworking guy.
The scientists of the A1 universe, they are researching their upcoming showdown with an unknown opponent. They want to prepare a lot of things for it, like making some new weapons and other stuff like that. And also they want to find which universe is going to become their opponent.
Saint opened the door and entered that lab. He is also curious about their opponent. He entered the lab and asked as the question for everyone
"Did you get anymore information about our opponent?"
They didn't answer anything. They are just standing silently. With that, he realized that they didn't know anything. He is disappointed a bit, but he calmly said to them to continue their research. And then he leaves the room.
In the meantime, Sasent rushed and went in the hall and said,
"I found that the energy that coming to our universe is decreasing… So we want to fight, and our opponent will become A1 universe, most probably."
Søldrig didn't respond. He just looked at Sasent and gave him a mischievous smile.
