Shattering Humanity-Chapter 297: Aiden’s Hypothesis: A Carefully Coordinated Chicxulub Collision
"Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not provide its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And at that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn and they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN with power and great glory [in brilliance and splendor].
...He will send His angels with a loud trumpet and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other." -Matthew 24:29-31

[FLASHBACK]
...he max potential to one of his abilities, allows Saku to understand what the two sea rulers are saying to one another.
Female Orca Whale: "You head back home, Sgaana.
I will help the guardian get back to shore safely."
Sgaana: "Are you sure, Xaaydagaay? It might not be ’the true bridge between our domains’."
Because of the "maxed potential" from Zoram’s ability, Saku can understand the clicks, moans, and tail splashings of the killer whales as his 1st language.
Xaaydagaay: "Don’t call ’The Bridge’ an ’it’, Sganna!
They fell from the highest heavens and you heard their body touch the deepest darks down depths, then rise back up!
It’s my mission as pod leader to make sure of The Bridge’s protection. That way our currents continue their motions and the eggs of prey will be fertilized for the future meals of our grandchildren we’ll never see!
Just like Mom would have!"
[END FLASHBACK]
Aiden: "If what I’ve been hypothesizing is correct, those ’Anjells’, our creators, may have used the Chicxulub Impact, not only as a mind-blowing, poetic metaphor for "insemination" and "fertilization" per se, but also as a way to ensure there would be two seperate evolutionary branches for their project as well."
Drakania leans in to speak to her chewing little brother.
Drakania(whispers): "Ya know Jormy, it might only be me, but when all of humanity, it’s history, passed down stories, traditions, and everything else that has been accomplished by hard working human lives, hearing all those things be described as something so elementary as ’a project’, doesn’t it feel extremely depressing?"
Jormy swallows his food and nods in response to his sister’s reasonable concern.
Meanwhile, Saku recollects exactly what Lilith had told him when his symbiote had received the blessing to become the Anjell Eye of Absorption and the vessel for all that is Yin in the universe.
[FLASHBACK]
Saku, now standing on the giant 6 mile space rock watches from space as the icy planet blows up.
Lilith: "Unfortunately, my sacrifice was only enough to buy Yahweh enough time to escape and eventually launching all of our hopes, containing the resources and genetic coding needed to destroy most of the life above sea level and fuse with living marine life.
That genetic fusion would eventually evolve into intelligent life we made, together. Our treasure we worked so hard for would have been lost because of that evil beast. But I would rather be dead than continue living on, having lost what I view as my life’s treasure."
[END FLASHBACK]
Saku(thinking): *Wait!
Mo-, I mean ’Lilith’ had told me something similar when I was unconscious on that alien ship.
But even she didn’t go into full detail like this guy is.*
Saku looks over at the Yang Vessel who was ultimately responsible of causing the multiple incidents leading up to the transmogrification of the orca whale into a hybrid mammal.
Unnoticed by everyone else, Katsu has a nefarious Above Sanpaku smirk while the two division captains are EyeEngaged.
Katsu(telepathy): *It completely baffles me every time, how long it takes you to finally realize.*
Saku(telepathy): *The fuck outta my head, you annoying ass Nerd!*
Katsu(telepathy): *You haven’t noticed yet, have you numb nuts?
Aiden is simply built different mentally. Almost equally unfair in comparison to how Shelly physically outclasses any and all who are soon to fall beneath her.* 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Saku(telepathy): *So what?
He’s a nerd.
She’s an awkward cringe nerd.
And you are their nerd king.
Congratulations, your division is only as strong as Shelly’s presence and that Bozo’s lucky psychoanalyzing.*
The Yang Vessel’s smile grows wider as the two young men keep their locked in EyeEngagement.
Katsu(telepathy): *Just know this, you damn bastard child.
Once we clear away these pesky DæMons, I’ll easily be able to accomplish what I have planned with just Shelly by my side, and Aiden’s unwavering assistance towards his only reliable source of friendship.
Until the final phase, when he becomes just as easily disposable as you all are.*
Saku grimaces as they disengage and return back to listening in on the group lecture.
Scylia: "So what you’re saying is, humans weren’t the only species those two Anjells had coordinated on creating together?"
The "professor" nods with excitement to the older woman’s participation.
Aiden: "Exactly, Ms. Scylia!
In fact, those Anjells were actually also successful in creating two dizyogotic, fraternal species, but with only one egg in the way monozygotic, identical twins are created.
The meteor surrounding our future DNA was essentially used sort of as an ’extraterrestrial sperm cell’ ..."
An immature Dom lightly elbows Char while the superior Gunner is drinking a juice pouch.
Dom: "God damn that must’ve been one hell of a ripped off nut, bro."
The inappropriate comment makes Charybdis laugh so hard, while drinking, the juice comes out his nose and he coughs.
Aiden: "Immediately after the collision, all of Earth’s temperature exponentially rose, forcing the most quick witted and willing adaptors to use the refreshing ocean water as a safer ecosystem.
After the initial commotion from the impact settled, the blue sky’s turned to a shade of sulfur grey and black."
The young genius looks over at Tay, the big man with the Photosynthesis Eye slowly finishes the last few bites of his sub sandwich.
Aiden: "Those clouds blocked all direct sunlight to life in earth, and preventing photosynthesis for almost 2 years.
As a result, there were constant below freezing temperatures all around the world. Most of our planet’s vegetation died, along with the unadaptable, or unlucky creatures that fell victim."
The spark of an idea ignites in the 2nd most intelligent mind within the dining area.
Shelly is now starting to ponder, using the vague clues, and trying to piece together exactly where Aiden is going with his explanation.
However, coming to a disturbing understanding in her head, Shelly’s fist tightens while her arms are resting on the table.
Aiden: "The oldest known recorded ancestor to our newest friend over there, was a four legged mammal of prey.
On multiple ironic levels, the mammal resembled a hybrid of a deer/dog like creature. Normally, it would only use the change in environment to seek refuge from predators, but once it ealized the ocean waters gave them a better chance for overall survival, they never left. Thus the beginning of it’s evolution into an orca. Somewhere along the cycle, whatever became of the DNA from the crash landed meteor, found a pre orca ancestor, and mated with it.
Those Anjells probably used the global cataclysmic reaction to the egregious insemination as a test."
With nobody too surprised, the usual contrarian of Takamagahara interrupts.
Sol: "What do you mean, ’as a test’?"
Aiden: "W-Well, the ’more intelligent’ land mammals on this planet at the time found solace in the connecting oceans."
Sol: "So if those aliens really were the beings who dropped that meteor, wouldn’t that mean they destroyed and wiped out a majority of life, just for their own selfish wants?"
Katsu gives Saku a sarcastic expression of surprise using only his eyebrows.
Katsu(telepathy): *Huh, did you hear that?
Sounds like pretty decent logic to me.*
Trying his best to clear his thoughts, Saku cracks each individual knuckle, one at a time, with his thumb.
Sol: "If that’s true, the extinction of the dinosaurs and those ’dumber’ mammals wasn’t actually natural survival of the fittest act, nor unfortunate coincidental fate."
Katsu(telepathy): *She is most definitely the sharpest out of your whole group, you tool.*
Aiden: "I guess I really can’t argue with you there, Sol.
Now IF all that is true, and they did plan on one of their branching species to rule the dry land with their game changing opposable thumbs, while the other branch would rule the domain that takes up the overwhelming majority of this planet’s total surface, the next question is, for the two branches to ever cooperate in harmony, there would have to be..."
Katsu(telepathy): *Might as well just spit it out right now, and tell them whatever little you know. Like how you do every single time.*
Saku finally starts to remember just what he heard the two orca whales say to each other while helping him stay above the surface.
Saku: "...’A Bridge’..."
Katsu(telepathy): *Oh don’t you feel special?*
In the most excessive way to distract him possible, Xaaydagaay licks Saku’s tattoo on the temple of his face, making him blush and carefully push her away.
Laban’s chair slides across the floor as she gets up.
Laban DaeMon: "Okay, that’s it!
New rule!
If she’s allowed to randomly lick my Saki whenever and wherever she feels like it, then I get to lick him randomly wherever I want too!"
