A few moments later, Noah raised his face. His eyes were a little swollen but his expression had mostly become normal as he cursed.

“Fuck this was embarrassing.”

Sighing as he leaned against the door, he looked at the floating screen before him. His emotions were far more in his control and his mind less hot.

“I have been jumping to conclusions like an idiot. Gotta get back my game.”

Noah started replacing all the information he had in mind.

Firstly, The ancient civilization used Sumerian. A dead language from Earth. Since the scientist did not recognize the symbol this meant that this language was not something people could normally have access to.

“First deduction. Civilization is related to Earth.”

Even when he was on earth, there have been many theories about how aliens must have once visited the earth and created super special constructs, or theories about how ancient civilizations were super powerful civilizations who vanished because of some calamity.

While this might be bullshit. Now, he was starting to wonder if there was a modicum of truth in there.

“Second. My names and codenames are trigger words to increase the difficulty while the names of the ones who died with me are not.”

Minerva, Diana, and Mars. The three constellations of Virgo, Leo, and Taurus fought alongside him and sacrificed their life to give him an opening toward the queen.

—....

“This means that far from being simply related to Earth, the special civilization is related to me one way or another.”

From there came a few suppositions.

Why was HIS name the one that was a trigger? Was the Civilization, in fact, the Earth from his era?

Why were the names of the constellations that died not triggered? Did it mean that they were in fact alive and there was no need for such a trigger? Or did it actually mean that the civilization knew he was alive and confirmed that the others were dead so there was once again no need for such a trigger in their names?

Noah bit his teeth.

This doesn’t make sense!

Based on calculations and theories, it would take at least a million years for Earth to even become a Type 3 Civilization.

Noah could accept errors in calculations as this was in the end nothing but a theory made while they were not even Type 1. So even for argument's sake let’s say it took 10 thousand years to become type 3, it would still take between 10 to perhaps even 1000 times to reach type 4.

This was without counting all the wars and all the problems that may lead to partial or complete extermination. In fact, if Noah was honest, he had always wondered how Earth hadn’t already blown up with all the problems it had.

“Do you think I am a few hundred thousand years old?”

He asked in a joking tone but even the queen this time was speechless. In the end, she could only bring more supposition.

—What if we were sent that far forward in time?

Noah was scratching his head so much that blood was oozing a little. He could not say it was impossible. The two of them already had this small theory in their mind after all Noah really doubted time moved normally in that place. What if this was the kind of cliche where 1s in there was around Thousand of years in the real world?

Wormholes have been the subject of many theories and possibilities such as time travels, long-distance travel, and even…Dimension and universe hopping.

This also reminded him of the hyperdrive technology Morgiana told him about. By entering what was known as the Dark Sea, they could move through extremely large distances.

But from what she said, no one and few things could actually survive in the Dark Sea for long.

Noah stood up with a small growl before easing his expression and —

Clap~!!

He used his hands to clap his two cheeks.

—Noah?

“Why I am even wasting my time in such a frustrating way?”

Here he was groaning and moaning about hypothetical situations and possibilities when all he had to do to get the answer he needed was to act.

Wasn’t it actually why he entered this place? To get the answer he needed?

So what if he was in another time or another universe? In fact, wasn't it a good thing? if he could do this once, he could do it a second time!

Time travel had always been deemed to be impossible in the truest way possible. But if one could control Dark Matter, then was Time travel really impossible?

What if he could go back in the past?

Go back home?

Perhaps he could even appear before the parasite appears?

—If it was possible, why wouldn’t the Type 4 civilization do it to prevent its destruction?

“Why don’t we try to find out for ourselves?”

The blue screen flashed once again in its vision.

[Choose your name]

This time, there were no doubts. There was no hesitation.

“Noah.”

⦗Warning! This name should not be chosen! If you decide to continue, heavy penalties will be added to your trials. The level of reward will also increase.⦘

⦗Do you wish to change the name?⦘

⦗Y/N⦘

He grinned and this time clicked on No.

What did it matter if the penalties were added?

He simply had to smash them all and obtain the highest level of reward!

Only then would he perhaps be able to get all the answers he needed and perhaps even more?

[1]: Actual “time travel" is technically possible. This is something humans do every day. In fact, even looking at the stars is a form of time travel. After all, we are not observing stars as they are now but as they Were. Many debaters like to bring up this kind of argument but obviously when people talk about time travel. They are talking about actual space-time travel.

Fun fact:  If you could time travel, you would find yourself in dead space as Earth, alongside the entire solar system is constantly moving at 828,000 km/hr as our solar system is orbiting around the black hole of our galaxy. Imagine creating a time travel machine and forgetting to input the correct spatial coordinates and you die in the void of space. Who knows, perhaps it happened and this is why no time traveler appeared.
