The Crawford's Multiverse of Madness

Chapter 153 - Punishment And Retribution

One year later

Zeel woke up in his cozy apartment with two bodies wrapped around his own.

Over the past year, he had noticed that Elizabeth's appearance was taking a unique turn, after her Felian inheritance her eyes became a much brighter silver-golden.

Elizabeth's hair was now also becoming the color of her eyes with a few mix of colors near the root endings: purple –lightning, and blue –water; each color representing the elements she had become proficient at.

She now appeared as a young woman in her early 20's, which is good considering she was now 55, though it was much more appealing compared to her teenage appearance back on Lorien.

Alice, on the other hand, actually appeared to be younger than the youngest, which was Elizabeth.

Alice looked around 19 years of age, considering she was the oldest already 67 years old. Zeel once reminded Alice that she was older than himself by 2 years.

He later remarked that she had become a grandmother worthy of the title 'World Sexiest'.

This joke made him go sexless for an entire month, granting the girls adequate time to explore their Yuri nature due to lack of his presence in the bedroom.

Alice's appearance was still as vibrant as it was on Lorien but has recently gotten fierier as the divine spark she kept on her body at all times had somehow leaked energy into her body.

Over the past year, Zeel had been scouring the Multiversal currents from his MBeamer to find some way to upgrade the nanites.

However, Zeel soon found that the nanites upgrades required metals from at least a Prime Universe to upgrade.

Zeel was reluctant to accept the fact that his nanites would remain stagnant in development for several years to come, so he tried many experiments to enhance the nanites.

All ended in failure as Zeel almost managed to permanently damage the nanites.

Likewise, Zeel noted that Project Clone Resonance had also hit a dead end because he would often receive an unknown interference whenever he attempted to create clones.

On the upside, Zeel had managed to make progress with both Project Extinction and Project Improvements.

Project Extinction was mostly Zeel trying to uncover the mystery of the T-virus to further improve the Z-virus in his system.

Zeel had found a possible Universe where a stronger version of the T-Virus may exist, but he had yet to fully understand the true nature of the T-virus.

During his time studying it, Zeel has found that this Virus was highly adaptable and capable of learning.

The T-Virus was very ancient and this alone made Zeel very cautious of it. Zeel stored the coordinates of the Universe in his Mbeamer and forgot about the matter.

Project Improvements were progressing steadily as Zeel made cold weapons using Felian notes, Loric Runes, and rare metals.

The weapons were sturdy but Zeel was no talent in forging, so he doubted the weapons could hold for long in an actual battle.

Alice had begun to feel uncomfortable keeping the Divine Spark for much longer.

Zeel was considering making a new containment unit for the divine spark but found the longer they kept it, the more unstable it became.

So the trio together came up with the plan for Alice to consume the divine spark and begin her ascension to godhood, though this would serve as an experiment of sorts since it was the first time they would attempt such a feat.
