Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 489: Helping To Restore Humanity

Alicia looked at Yin Li confused. She knew what sealing something meant but to seal an area as large as the one the death race was occupying would be a massive feat. "Alicia, by sealing it, that would allow you to dish out some punishment by slowing the death race down and also not involve those who may be innocent. It is better than just killing everyone and falling into darkness, no?"

"That much I understand but the main thing I am curious about is how do you go about sealing off such a large area? I think it is not in our ability, not even yours. Not to mention neither of us is strong enough to make a seal strong enough to keep the death race locked away." Alicia replied. 

"That is the biggest issue we have at this time. We are both not strong enough for that but in the future, you will be. You can then seal off the entire place in such a strong seal that no one will be able to break it." Yin Li explained.

"Hmmm I guess waiting until then won't be too late. Anyway, we should stop this factory's production of this gas." Alicia changed the subject. She knew there was nothing she could do with the death race at this time so she could only wait until she was strong enough to handle it. They had more immediate issues at hand.

They entered the main building to find many humans running to and fro. They seemed to be doing maintenance on all the equipment. The robots in the building all seemed to have stopped working. "It seems with the leader gone the robots under its command stopped working altogether. It must have been using a shared link to control them and running the programs from his systems."

"If I am not wrong I can have Tereax create a system to connect to these robots that will turn them into a means of helping the humans of this world. It may take a while and the forced breeding may need to continue for some time to keep their race going but it should enable them to regain the humanity that they lost after a generation or two. Maybe even less..." Alicia did not like the idea of the forced breeding she had seen but she knew the current humans were more than likely a lost cause and she did not have the means or the know how to fix them. She would need to consult with Tereax who had more of an understanding of these things than herself.

"That is a good idea. With how they have been going like this for so many generations it will be hard to bring back the older ones. But the kids who are still in the process of being taught might learn to become civilized. With the teachings they learn from the robots they will be able to survive on their own as long as they are taught properly." Yin Li found this method to be a good idea.

"Alright then let's stop this machine and do something about the gas in the air. I will then put a barrier around this planet to keep them protected for as long as it holds. I will summon Tereax and have him help with this.." With a wave of Alicia's hand, Tereax appeared in front of her. She explained the situation to him and he went right to work. He put together a team of people who were able to stop the gas creation and shut down the planet completely. Once all the humans and robots were cleared out, Alicia used her new spell to destroy the whole facility. While Alicia was doing that, Yin Li got rid of the gas in the atmosphere. 

The spot the factory once stood had a new building built up. It was a control facility that sent out commands to the robots below giving them new tasks. Some of the robots were working on agriculture while others made clothes and other essential needs for the humans. Slowly as the humans became aware and returned to normal the humans would take over these tasks. The robots in charge would then return to the facility at the top of the mountain. Once their tasks were done and the need for the robots to teach the humans anything else was over and once all robots had returned to the factory the whole factory would then be sucked into a void and crushed under gravity. From that point on the humans would need to rely on themselves. 

A month passed and Alicia and Yin Li were standing above the planet. "The barrier is in place. How long they will have before someone breaks it I do not know. But let's hope they will have a chance at a brighter future." 

"We did what we could. I hope to never run into a situation like this ever again." Yin Li said. She really did not like what she saw happening on this planet. 

"Where to next? Is there a way to avoid the death race?" Alicia asked.

"It may be possible but it will take us longer to reach our destination. The universe is vast, but the area dominated by the death race is very big." Yin Li explained.

"Can we not just tear space and time and skip the area altogether?" Alicia did not understand why they had to go through their area if they could just skip it.

"I wish we could. But the death race has set up some kind of weird barrier to block people from doing that. People think the universe is infinite, but it is not. The death race knows this well so they have set up means to force the races of the universe to have to move through their territory. Our only chance would be to test the outer reaches of space to see if we can fly around it." Yin Li was at a loss on what to do about this herself. She would rather not deal with the death race at all.

"Then we can only test then. Lead the way!"
