Chapter 27 - Chapter 27 (Space Wars (1))

Scene 1 – The New Frontier

After the zombie apocalypse, the world slowly began to rebuild. But something unexpected happened—nations started developing technology so advanced, it could surpass magic and supernatural powers. Many believed this was impossible, but humans had always been the greatest threat to their own world.

Carter acquired a massive spaceship from his department—an elite model from the Eco Space Shop, owned by a member of the Vaidar Family. Unbeknownst to many, Ron himself was part Vaidar through his mother's lineage.

The ship had the shape of a horseshoe with a triangular rear, divided into three large sections, each containing 28 rooms. The rooms were categorized into three classes:

Luxury Rooms: For residents. Sleeping here transported one into a mysterious realm with four unexplored sections—isolated and unreachable by anyone else.

Dextile Rooms: Reserved only for Carter and Lia.

Backster Rooms: Given to Ron and Yardy.

Each room included a robot assistant with three functions:

1. Eject to Earth

2. Emergency Exit

3. Transport to the Infinite Knowledge Library, where another robot answered every question imaginable.

The ship featured a central kitchen where fresh food was available 24/7.

Carter, Ron, Lia, and Dream lived on the ship as a tight-knit team. Ron and Dream now lived as a couple following the apocalypse, while Carter and Lia were set to marry after the mission.

One morning, Ron stepped out of his room and headed to the kitchen. There, Carter and Lia were waiting.

Without saying much, they asked Ron to follow them. They led him to a control room that looked straight out of a science fiction movie—full of monitors, maps, scanners, and digital projections. This was the central command hub for space surveillance.

The head officer's face appeared on the main screen.

"Captain Carter and Vice-Captain Lia," the officer greeted. "The planets we conquered are under attack by space pirates. We sent several warnings, but there's been no response. In fact, the attacks have only increased."

"Who's behind this?" Lia asked sharply.

"A kingdom 55 light-years away," the officer said. "Ruled by King Larthur. He's the one orchestrating these attacks."

Carter narrowed his eyes. "If I remember right, that kingdom was discovered only recently."

"Correct," the officer nodded. "They've grown rapidly—and dangerously."

Ron stood silently, absorbing the news as Carter and the officer began planning a counterattack.

Scene 2 – Aurora, Keeper of Time

Meanwhile, Gravo Gonzalez was traveling across the universe on a secret mission. His journey took him to a Forgotten Dimension—a realm between Layer One (Hero Town's multiverse) and Layer Two (The Beyonders' Realm).

This eerie space was filled with roaming beasts, void storms, and strange lights. At the center sat a throne, and on it—a woman.

"Who are you? How did you get here?" she asked, her voice calm but stern.

Gravo bowed slightly. "Pardon my intrusion. I didn't expect to find anyone here."

"State your purpose," she said, unmoved.

"First, may I ask who you are?"

Her eyes flashed. "I am Aurora, the Keeper of Time. I oversee this entire layer—timelines, multiverses, higher dimensions. My power exists beyond space and time itself."

Gravo's posture straightened in reverence. "You… you are the one who holds the multiverse together with raw strength. The one whose presence sustains the very concept of time. I never thought I'd meet someone other than my father who knows such power."

Her expression softened slightly. "Interesting. Who are you?"

"I am Gravo Gonzalez—eldest son of Mr. Gonzalez."

Aurora stood from her throne. "Very well, Gravo. Why have you come here?"

Scene 3 – Rise of a Space War

Back aboard the ship, Carter and Ron were finalizing their mission plan: to reclaim the invaded planets.

Their strategy divided forces into three teams:

Group A (led by Carter) would confront King Larthur directly.

Group B (led by Lia) would reclaim the occupied planets.

Group C would provide support and secure locations.

Everyone turned in for the night. But by morning, disaster struck. Ships sent to aid Carter's mission were ambushed by forces from another kingdom—one unknown to Earth. The plan was scrapped, and all teams moved to defensive positions. Group C was hastily deployed to Planet A.

However, the enemy was prepared. Group C suffered a quick defeat and was forced to retreat. Desperate, one of the soldiers contacted Ron.

In response, Ron summoned Dr. Thomas using the magnifying glass.

Dr. Thomas sent only one man—but he was the very definition of a One-Man Army.

Hovering above Planet A, the lone warrior scanned the battlefield… and then made clones of himself—each clone dispatched to a different planet from B to Z.

Within an hour, a miracle occurred.

Reports flooded the headquarters: all planets had been reclaimed. The same Group C that had failed minutes ago was now declaring victory.

The soldiers were stunned. "We called Ron," the report stated, "and he sent one man. Because of him, we won."

Everyone turned to Ron, demanding an explanation.

Ron simply smiled. "He's just… an old friend. Happened to be nearby."

---

Soon after, Ron was assigned a new task: eliminate the unknown kingdom that attacked their ships. The confrontation with King Larthur would be handled by the command center.

Once again, Ron contacted Dr. Thomas.

Now, Ron stood alongside Yardy and the mysterious One-Man Army, staring down trillions of advanced enemy ships, glowing with technology unknown to Earth.

King Larthur had prepared well. His soldiers wore sleek white suits with glowing blue lines. Each carried a small metal rod around which blue energy swirled—futuristic weapons that transformed into anything the wielder imagined.

The battlefield was set.

The first true space war in Earth's history was about to begin.
