Beginning Of Multiverse Saga-Chapter 76: Emperor Demi-humans

"Your situation is actually quite simple," Sharky began, pointing to various glowing dots on the holographic display. "We live in a universe filled with living planets and countless unique species."

"One of those species is known as the Hybrids. Long ago, they carried out experiments on different lifeforms—humans included. These experiments gave rise to individuals with special abilities. We call them Demihumans. And you, Sophia... you’re one of them."

Sophia listened closely, eyes wide, but as the word experiment sank in, she suddenly trembled with a loud, dramatic shiver that sounded more like a cartoonish "brrrrrrrp!"

"W-what?! So you’re telling me I was part of some alien science project?!" Her voice cracked as she pictured herself strapped to a cold lab table surrounded by creepy, bug-eyed creatures in lab coats. "And they wiped my memory after poking and prodding me?!" she gasped.

Sharky chuckled softly, reaching out to hold her hand. "No, no, Sophia. Nothing like that."

He looked at the projection again and pointed at a timeline. "The Hybrid experiments happened nearly 100,000 years ago. They tested on five different species—humans were one of them. But they couldn’t control the powers of the Demihumans, so in fear, they chose to massacre them instead."

"Many of the surviving Demi-humans fled to distant parts of the universe," Sharky explained calmly, his voice full of reassurance. "And your bloodline... it comes from one of the strongest among them. You’re part of the Emperor Lineage of the Demi-humans—an ancient and highly revered heritage."

Sophia let out a long, relieved sigh. "Phew... so I wasn’t strapped to some cold metal table with green aliens poking me with lasers." She gave a half-laugh.

Sharky grinned. "Nope. No green aliens. Just royal alien genes."

Sophia blinked. "Wait... Emperor Lineage? What makes that different from other Demi-humans? What’s so special about it?"

"The difference between Normal and Emperor Demi-humans is actually pretty huge," Sharky replied. "Normal Demi-humans are born as regular humans. Their parents later awaken their powers by using something called a Demi Crystal—a creation of the Hybrids. It’s like a forced awakening."

He paused, pointing at a glowing symbol on the hologram.

"But the Emperor Lineage? They don’t need any crystal. Their powers are part of their soul—natural and inherited. They have unique abilities to pass down their powers to their children."

"In your case, your ancestors also had the gift of instant regeneration. As for their lifespans, they exhibit some level of immortality, but whether they were completely immortal or not, I need to find out about this."

"But rest assured, Sophia, as long as you’re with me, no one will ever lay a finger on you for experiments. Anyone harboring such thoughts will face dire consequences, I will not hesitate to wipe their existence from the universe," Sharky explained, and promised to protect her.

Sophia felt a wave of happiness and reassurance wash over her because of Sharky’s protective words.

She continued to inquire, "So, does this mean my parents were Emperor Demi-humans, and is Rosie also a Demi-human?"

"If there are so many Emperor Demi-humans in the world, I wonder if there’s also an Emperor Demi-human society out there." Her curiosity about Demi-human society grew, knowing that she was also one of them.

Sharky gave her clarification, "Yes, your parents were indeed Emperor Demi-humans, and your sister Rosie Alexander is also an Emperor Demi-human. However, there aren’t many Emperor Demi-humans in this universe."

"When the Hybrid started the massacre, only five Emperor Demi-humans escaped. Two were males, and three were females. They are divided into two groups."

"One couple went to an unknown planet, and I have no information on whether they are. But I know their lineage is alive, though I don’t know what generation it is. The other three were your ancestors, the Alexanders."

He continued, "Although, Demi-humans were powerful but controllable, as their powers are limited without the Demi Crystal."

"But in the case of the Emperor Demi-humans. They are highly dangerous because they can pass down their powers to their children."

"So, in order to maintain the balance, the Universe also has some rules to control them. It was that, the Emperor Demi-human, not able to interbreed with other species."

"No matter how they tried. They can only give birth to a child, if they have sex with their own species. The Emperor Demi-human can only give birth to the same number of children, how many they were in the present generation."

"For example, if there are five Emperor Demi-humans, then the next Generation can only give birth to five Emperor Demi-humans. And since your Ancestors have the three Emperor Demi-humans, while the Two Emperor Demi-humans live in some unknown place."

"Your Ancestors can only give the birth to three Emperor Demi-humans children in the next generation. While the other two Emperor Demi-humans, can give birth to the next two Emperor Demi-humans. That’s how the balance is maintained."

"Because of the limitations of Emperor Demi-humans numbers, there is no Emperor Demi-humans society established," Sharky explained to her clearly.

Sophia listens with full clarity, she is amazed to know the history of her ancestors. The limitations are that they can only give birth to three children, and it will only happen when they have sex with each other.

After she goes deeper into the history and rules of her Ancestors, she is soon struck by a revelation.

Given the way the Emperor’s lineage had continued, who were one male and two females, must have had sex with each other to give birth to the next generation.

And by following this specific pattern to maintain the lineage. Her parents are actually brothers and sisters.

"Based on this logic, Sharky, is that my lineage of ancestors were siblings?" She asked, wanting to confirm her theory once more by hearing it from Sharky.

Sharky wanted to reply to her, but instead of simply clearing her confusion. He gives a mischievous smile, "You are right dear, your ancestors were indeed siblings. Sometimes, two females and one male were born, so it was the male’s duty to make love with his sisters, and in return they gave him three children."

"While sometimes, one female and two males were born, it was the female’s duty to make both her brothers happy. And give birth to their three children."

"Your father’s generation followed the same pattern, he loved both your mom and aunt. You can also call your aunt Sylvie as the second mother."

Sophia started blushing hearing her father’s secrets. Today, finally, she understands. Why sometimes she saw her father with her aunt Sylvie, and sometimes, both her mom and aunt were together with her father.

She thought they were having some sisterly talks, or some family meetings. But in reality, they both, busy fueling their fields with her father’s toil, sweat, and finally water and seeds.

She also realized her Grandfather Hawkins is not only brother but also he is the husband of her Grandaunt Elara Alexander. And Her grandmother, Seraphina Alexander, is both the wife and her grandfather’s sister.

Sophia became overwhelmed with a sense of shame and excitement about her family’s secret.

She suddenly had a realization that made her panic. The thought struck, her aunt’s child must be male, as per the family’s tradition, and she needs to marry him to complete the Emperor Demi-humans lineage.

"Sharky, Sharky, Sharky!" she cried out in a panicked tone, tears also started coming out of her eyes.

"As you explained our family’s secret, I just realized that my aunt’s child is likely a male. And I need to marry him. Please, you have to do something! I don’t want that. I only want you as my husband."

Sharky wiped away her tears and caressed her face, "Calm down my dear, calm down. Did in the emergency, you forget that your aunt gave birth to a daughter. Evanthe Alexander, not some male."

"If your aunt has given birth to a male, then even before meeting me. You would have been busy serving him. And was ready to give birth to his child."

"All Emperor Demi-humans are incredibly precious. So your parents have not even given you a chance to know other people except for your brother. So, forget about panicking, no one can take you away from me."

He explained to her.

After hearing the explanation, and realizing that, her aunt has given birth to a daughter not a son. She calmed down.

"Yes, aunt Sylvie has given birth to a daughter, how can I have forgotten about it in the sudden confusion. I am so dumb."

"So, Honey, what are the powers of my both sisters, since I have the regeneration powers," Sophia asked about it. Wanted to know about her family and sister’s superpower.

"Sophia, we will talk about it later, now we need to become ready for Rosie’s 18th Birthday," Sharky brings her attention back to the birthday celebration.

"Oh, I have just forgotten about," Sophia remembered, today was her sister Rosie’s birthday, and she is finally going to become an adult.

"But Sharky, how can I control my Teleportation, since I am teleporting all over the place," She asked the important questions.

"Maybe you need some training from your family to learn Teleportation powers, but with an amazing husband like me, who needs it?" Sharky remarked with a smirk.

He then brought out a device that looked like a diamond-studded wristband with a slim red magical stone fitted in the middle, emitting a touch of green, giving it a sci-fi appearance.

Placing it on her hand, he explained, "This is the TST, Thought Sensing Teleportation. You just need to think about where you want to go. And you’ll be teleported there, it only works on you, because I adjusted it to your DNA." Sharky explained, and then both of them got ready to go to Rosie’s birthday.

———

Sharky asked, "Sophia, what should I wear today?"

When he was getting ready, Sophia walked in and she helped Sharky prepare for Rosie’s 18th birthday.

She selected a formal outfit for him of Evanthe brand. A well-tailored charcoal gray suit paired with a crisp white shirt and a deep blue tie. The suit was accented with polished black leather shoes and a matching belt.

"This looks great on you, my love," She said, which he gladly accepted.

For herself, she wore an elegant knee-length navy blue dress, adorned with a delicate floral pattern. Her outfit matches with Sharky’s attire.

They sat inside the sci-fi car that was sleek and futuristic in design. It had shimmering silver exteriors with softly glowing blue accents, giving them a high-tech, space-age appearance.

As the doors opened, it revealed interiors filled with comfortable, cushioned seats that seemed to adjust to the body of each passenger as they sat. It was a Rosie Interstellar Car.

They started it, and went towards the Alexander Mansion in Washington DC

When they reached, Sharky found that it was a grand party, with minimum guests. Not all of the family members came; only her grandparents came.

The first guest is Hawkins Alexander, who is the father of Stephen, Alexa and Sylvie. He was dressed in a classic black suit with a crisp white dress shirt and a burgundy tie. His silver hair was neatly combed.

The second guest is Sophia’s grandmother, Seraphina Alexander. She gave birth to both Stephen and Sylvie. She was dressed in an elegant emerald green gown that flowed gracefully to the floor, her silver hair was styled in loose waves.

Last guest is Sophia’s second grandmother, Elara Alexander, who is also the mother of Alexa. She chose a stylish royal blue pantsuit with a matching blouse. Her outfit exuded confidence and sophistication.

They’re also quite old. Around 120 years old, but their bodies look like they’re in their 30s; it’s also a secret of their family.

Hawkins, Seraphina, and Elara give a unique reaction to Sharky, whenever they see him – and when they talk with Sophia, they always look at her with pity.

But they also loved Sophia more than anything else; even Stephen would have been beaten if he tried to come in between them and Sophia.

Then Sharky noticed towards his father-in-law, Stephen Alexander. He looked sharp in a dark navy suit, a light blue shirt, and a tie with subtle geometric patterns. His salt-and-pepper hair was neatly trimmed.

Mother-in-law Alexa Alexander wore a knee-length crimson dress with a tasteful floral print. Her auburn hair was swept up into an elaborate bun.

Second Mother-in-law Sylvie Alexander chose a crisp, all-white pantsuit with a pale pink blouse. Her sleek, dark hair framed her face elegantly.

Finally, there was Rosie Alexander. Rosie was wearing a charming pale lavender thighs-length skirt adorned with a playful butterfly pattern. Her youthful energy radiated from her smile. Although it was her birthday today, she seemed shy whenever she noticed Sharky.

She even tried to hide from him, and every time she saw him, she would start blushing. Sharky gives her a naughty smile, and goes towards her.

The grand celebration of Rosie Alexander’s 18th birthday unfolded with anticipation. As the crowd buzzed with excitement, Rosie made a dramatic entrance onto the birthday stage.

The lively atmosphere resonated with joy.
