R&D Headquarters – Main Laboratory

Tyler had already been notified of Kallus’s arrival by Red Empress the moment she sensed his intention to visit.

Kallus took a moment to observe the vast halls stretching endlessly before him. The sheer scale of the Research & Development Department was staggering—an entire level dedicated solely to scientific advancement. Here, anything was possible.

With the integrated shipyard, the researchers could design, construct, and test prototypes without external dependencies. The Obliterator’s transcendence-tier teleportation system even allowed them to send completed ships directly into space for live testing.

Thinking about the numerous upgrades the Supreme Being had made to the Obliterator-class Star Dreadnought, Kallus couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride. The ship had evolved into something far beyond its original state, yet at its core, it was still his vessel.

Shaking his head to refocus, he turned his attention to the head researcher, Tyler Smith, and his apprentice, Tessa Rose.

They weren’t ordinary people—far from it. In fact, none of the researchers here were. But Tyler and Tessa stood out even among these elites.

Both of them came from the same universe, sharing a master-apprentice relationship that had spanned eras.

Tyler, in particular, was a legendary figure. He had once served as the Head Researcher of an ancient human galactic empire that had expanded its reach across 150 galaxies, maintaining absolute control over 50 of them.

For nearly 10,000 years, he had led groundbreaking advancements, developing countless technologies—ranging from basic scientific breakthroughs to the most devastating war weapons ever conceived.

Even among the greatest minds of the multiverse, his name carried unparalleled weight.

Tessa Rose – A Genius of the Ancient Empire

Tessa Rose was a charming young woman with golden-blond hair and striking silver eyes. She was not just any researcher—she was the personal student of Tyler Smith, a relationship that began when she was only ten years old.

She hailed from the Rose Family, one of the ancient noble bloodlines that had existed since the founding of the Ancient Empire. However, it was not her lineage but her exceptional intellect and natural talent that had convinced Tyler to take her in as his apprentice.

Now, at twenty-two years old, Tessa had grown into both a brilliant researcher and a graceful lady, widely recognized for her contributions to advanced technological innovations.

She was a cheerful and energetic person, and over the past few months, she had grown increasingly familiar with Kallus. She was always fascinated by the technological marvel that was the Obliterator-class Star Dreadnought.

During her time aboard the vessel, most of her conversations with Kallus revolved around technology and its applications. She would often ask for his help, and sometimes, she made him feel like an ignorant child with no real grasp of technological concepts—which, in truth, he was. Compared to her, his knowledge was lacking.

Tessa was a true genius in her field, having spent her entire twenty-two years immersed in scientific study. Even with the aid of the Dream Learner equipment, Kallus had only been able to absorb about 25% of the technological knowledge he had accumulated through gaming. While his knowledge was theoretical and practical, Tessa’s expertise was vast, comprehensive, and deeply rooted in reality.

A Tragic End in Their Original Universe

Tyler and Tessa’s lives in their original universe ended in tragedy.

At the height of his influence, Tyler had been one of the most valuable assets of the Ancient Empire. His knowledge and inventions had elevated their civilization to unprecedented heights. Because of his importance, his protection detail was equivalent to that of royal family members—his personal fleet was highly advanced and powerful.

However, when Tyler was en route to a crucial diplomatic meeting with another superpower, his fleet was ambushed by thousands of enemy ships. Despite his fleet’s technological superiority, they were hopelessly outnumbered.

Against such an overwhelming force, even the finest ships of the Ancient Empire could not withstand the relentless onslaught. One by one, his forces fell. Tessa stood by her mentor until the very end, refusing to abandon him.

In the end, their fleet was annihilated, marking the end of one of the greatest minds of their civilization… or so the universe had thought.

The Rebirth of Legends

Tyler Smith and Tessa Rose had perished in their original universe, their fates sealed in the flames of war. Their deaths had been seen as an irreversible loss—the end of two of the greatest minds their civilization had ever produced. The fall of an empire’s most brilliant researcher and his gifted apprentice had been etched into history as a tragic event, a cruel reminder that even legends could be snuffed out.

But the universe had been mistaken.

Fate had different plans.

OH not fate but something else

Through the mysterious intervention of the Supreme Being, both Tyler and Tessa had been reincarnated, their vast knowledge and talents preserved, now under the command of Kallus.

And under his leadership, they would not just return to greatness—they would surpass it.

The worlds that once mourned their loss would one day look up in awe as the reincarnated minds of a fallen empire ushered in a new golden age. With technology far beyond what this galaxy had ever seen, they would redefine the very boundaries of science, warfare, and civilization itself.

The universe had once thought their story had ended.

Now, under Kallus’s banner, it was only just beginning.

Kallus and the Researchers

As Kallus recalled Tyler and Tessa’s past, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of respect for the two. Shaking off his thoughts, he refocused on the present and looked at Tyler, Tessa, and the other researchers.

“At ease, everyone,” Kallus said, his voice calm yet firm. “No need to focus on me—continue with your work. I’ll just be borrowing Tyler and his apprentice for a while.”

The other researchers exchanged a few polite words with Kallus, some expressing their admiration, while others briefly updated him on their ongoing projects. Their voices carried a mix of excitement and dedication, showcasing the passion they had for their work. Kallus nodded in acknowledgment, offering a few words of encouragement before shifting his attention back to Tyler and Tessa.

Tyler, an imposing yet refined man, adjusted his coat and gave Kallus a knowing look. With a slight nod, he gestured toward a hallway leading deeper into the research facility.
