2024-10-29 19:42:56Jocelyne ran. She ran and ran and ran. Still, she knew that thing was behind her.
She didn't know where she was, she didn't know how she got there. The world around her looked like an alien plain. The sky was coal black, ash dominated the landscape, it was terribly cold, and nowhere she could see any trace of green. The monstrous skeletons of crumbling houses appeared everywhere in her field of vision, surrounded by a light smoke-like mist that made her cough every time she breathed.
Running as fast as she could she reached a pile of rubbish and she hid behind her. The thing that was chasing her didn't seem to notice and it continued in her path. Its horrible call made the girl's blood run cold.
"Baby... where are you...?"
Its voice sounded soft, but Jocelyne didn't budge an inch. She knew it was a sham and that in reality the thing wasn't sweet at all.
The sky thundered and rain began to fall, but it wasn't ordinary rain. It was black, oily rain,

Jocelyne felt a mixture of strange sensations inside her as soon as she heard that voice. She whirled around quickly, seeking the source of it, but she couldn't find it; it was as if the voice didn't come from a specific point, but from all the space around her. "Where are you?" "I'm everywhere. You're already looking at me, just as you always look at me, even if you don't realize it" the voice replied. "But if you really need a face to look... I satisfy you" The space in front of Jocelyne curved and thickened, until it formed a figure. She was a woman, or at least she looked like one. Her hair gave off an infinite light and she wore a dress as white as snow. She looked at Jocelyne smiling, but her magnetic eyes were so deep that it seemed to the girl that they were probing her soul. The instant the woman finished appearing, Jocelyne felt immense pressure on her body. The largest black hole ever discovered had a mass more than sixty billion times that of the Sun, and was so large th
I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army The new king of the dinosaurs
The zoo reopened to the public just after lunch. Although there were still several hours to go before the mysterious 'new king of the dinosaurs' was revealed, visitors had already flocked to make sure they didn't miss their seats.Although Mega Beast Park had always been very busy, that day hit an unprecedented peak. The zoo's coffers received more money than ever and the guides had their work cut out to manage all the visitors.Oddly, all the animals seemed a little restless that day. However, zoo curators blame the massive numbers of people for that.Even if they couldn't still enter, the enormous size of the new enclosure can already make the customers dream."Have you seen how big it is? Who knows what it will contain!""I cannot wait to see. According to the news, it's something gigantic!""Why do you think they didn't use the electric fence?""Maybe this animal is so big that it can't be contained by it... or maybe it's shockpro

"Fiuuuu! For a moment I thought it was jumping out of the fence!""Damn! It seemed crazy!""Are there therapists for dinosaurs? This is completely out of its mind!""I understand why they built an enclosure so big. This one is a psychopath!""I am reading the comments and I am really outraged. How can you say such things? I would like to see how you would act if you would be locked in a cage!""Here we go, another animal rights activist has arrived...""However, he's not completely wrong. That's a wild animal, it's not used to captivity. Will it be safe to keep it in a cage?""I don't know and I don't care. I just want that it stay there!"The controversy was raging on the web. Most of the comments were obviously stupid, but some showed some spark of intelligence.The challenge among these people was whether or not it was appropriate to keep the animal in a cage. Many thought it was right to do so, but some were against it, not
I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army Deceive the humans
As soon as Sobek's roar rang throughout the zoo, the other dinosaurs began their part.Sobek obviously didn't want humans to understand that they could communicate. If that had happened it would have been a big problem for him. In doing so, he would not only have demonstrated great intelligence, but also a completely abnormal behavior. If someone had noticed this, humans would hardly have left Sobek and the other dinosaurs alone in the future. Surely they would have explored the planet inch by inch just to find them and subject them to an infinite number of stupid tests.Sobek didn't expect to be able to leave the zoo in peace, but he wanted at least to be able to remain calm once they escaped. He still didn't possess enough power to hold his own against large numbers of humans and therefore it was necessary for him to keep a low profile for a while longer. For that, he needed to deceive the humans.If the dinosaurs had simply fled, someone might have become sus

"To all units! This is a top priority order. We have an massive animal escape from Mega Beast Park. All agents currently not engaged must render aid!" Like the cities of Earth, Flagard City also had its own law enforcement agencies, such as police and firefighters. And being a very large city there were several departments of each of them, all coordinated by the so-called 'central department'. Consequently, the number of law enforcement officers was more than enough to handle the fleeing animals. As in all big cities, the police didn't just have cars and guns: they were equipped with helicopters, riot suits and pretty dangerous weapons. They were perfectly equipped to catch dinosaurs escaped from the park. "Patrols 3, 7, 12 and 18, converge towards the Crimson Building! There are two kentrosaurs wreaking havoc in the traffic!" Thanks to the helicopters, tracking down the dinosaurs was extremely easy. Even though it was now night, the artificial lights and their size did not allow t

"It's working. The perimeter holds up. Thirty minutes have passed and the spinosaurus did no damage” Gene said. "You were right, Roland""Marvelous!" Ludlow looked like a child who had just been given an Easter egg. “Colonel Hicks just announced that the army has entered the city. In a few minutes the assault team will enter the area and fix the spinosaurus properly!"Ebert wrinkled his nose. "Good. I hope everything goes smoothly" he said, then turning to Roland: "Do you know something about the animal that we should know?"Roland shook his head. "I have only observed it twice. It is a completely unknown creature. We don't know how it hunts, how it behaves or how it thinks. All I know is what you already know""Seriously? Nothing else?" Ludlow shivered.“Blame yourself, Mr.Ludlow. You wanted to exhibit the animal immediatly, without knowing anything about it. You didn't wait even a few days to make sure the cage could contain it.
I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army It's time to finish the escape
Getting the dinosaurs out of the zoo wasn't part of the initial plan. Sobek had wanted to be captured only to arrive undisturbed in a city, gain fame points and unlock all the boxes of the [Weapon system]. However, he had decided to take another advantage of that affair, taking away some dinosaurs to increase the initial ranks of his army.If Sobek had had to recruit new dinosaurs on his own it would have taken a long time: most dinosaurs were very fast and would have run away the instant they saw him. But if he had had a good initial number of subordinates on his side, then they could have done the work for him, covering much more ground and drastically reducing recruitment times.Thanks to the zoo, therefore, he had obtained dozens of dinosaurs in one fell swoop that would have allowed him to quickly recruit many individuals.According to the plan, after escaping the dinosaurs had activated [Ambush] with the help of Sobek and then headed for the sewers followi

With [Swim speed] Sobek could now swim up to 300 km/h; although they remained underwater for just a minute he was able to put five kilometers away from where they had fallen. When he was sure he was far enough away he emerged holding Carnopo in his jaws, who panted heavily."Are you ok?""You are a fucking madman!"Yes, he was ok."I don't see why I should be called madman. I knew what I was doing""You could have warned me! I lost ten years of my life!""I told you to trust me. If you don't trust your pack leader, how can you call yourself a member of the pack?""Fuck you!"When they jumped off the cliff, Carnopo still had [Reinforced skin], and Sobek obviously had it permanently. In that way, even if they had fallen from a considerable height, nothing had happened, except a little redness in the part that had hit the water. By then he had grabbed Carnopo with his jaws and swam away to give the humans the illusion that they we

Epilogue
It took Sobek a few moments before he realized he was back in the room where it all began. That room where time and space ceased to exist, and where everything and nothing seemed to have changed at the same time. He already knew where he had to go; walking through the infinitely large (or perhaps infinitely small) room, in a few minutes (or perhaps a few centuries, who knows) he reached the familiar armchair on which was seated a woman with white skin and light hair.God didn't even seem to move since she sent him to Eden. Even her expression didn't seem to have changed at all. She was still the same, beautiful and terrible at the same time, whose gaze was both magnetic and loving on him. “Welcome back, son,” she greeted him in her crystal clear voice.Sobek advanced on her. This time there wasn't an armchair waiting for him, but a large mattress wide enough to allow him to lie down. She lay back on it and gazed intently at God. Even now, after he'd grown i

Death of a legend
On the continent of Maakanar, near a river that was once a typical spinosaurus nesting place, something immense could be seen. A huge creature was lying on its belly, but nevertheless it was so tall that its dorsal sail towered over the surrounding masts.Sobek was now thirty-three years old. To say he had grown into a behemoth was an understatement: he now measured 150 meters from head to tail and reached 45.6 meters in height. Even without activating the mutation he was now larger than Godzilla: the gigantic atomic reptile was a tiny lizard compared to him. All kaiju would be small compared to him. Even King Ghidorah would have been forced to acknowledge its superiority.In the last five years he had hardly moved. After the death of his last loyalist he returned to his birthplace and settled there. He ate what was provided to him from the [Personal Manger] and drank the water from the river. Otherwise, he remained calm, warming himself in the sun or admiring the star

The last fight
After a few days Nefertiti settled at the lake together with her father and her last remaining uncle. With the help and indications of Sobek she built a comfortable nest and there she laid her egg.Thus began the brood. The female spinosaurus never moved from above her little egg, keeping it constantly warm. Sobek and Buck brought her food and water. When Nefertiti was hot, Sobek used her huge wing as a parasol and Buck fanned her with his tail. In the rare moments when it was cold, the two of her huddled to help her warm up.That routine went on for three months. Finally, at the end of the third month, a familiar clicking sound came from under Nefertiti's paws.The female spinosaurus reared up and looked down. A small crack was opening on the egg. With a smile she moved from above it. The crack widened more and more and finally a large piece of egg broke off, showing a lively green eye that stared intently at Nefertiti.“Hello, baby. I'm your mothe

The first true hunt
Time had passed again. Sobek couldn't even figure out how much time had actually passed now. One year? Two? Maybe three? He didn't know.After his retirement, Sobek had gone deep into the forest of Maakanar. It was hard for him to move his huge body through the trees and very often ended up destroying them: his passage was evident as a trail of uprooted trunks was always behind him. He had moved permanently to the lake where he had met Buck and where he had established his first army. And he hadn't gone there alone.Carnopo and Buck had joined him just a month after his departure. They, too, had decided they'd had enough and abandoned their roles entirely. After all, in the new world there was no longer a need for either an army commander or one of the shock legion. Now there was peace, and the old war veterans had no reason to try to find their place in their world. So they had decided to do what they had always done: follow their pack leader.The trio spent th

Passing to the next generation
Another year had passed. In Sobek's eyes, time seemed to have begun to flow more rapidly. The months and weeks all passed almost the same and in a flash the morning turned into evening.Humanity had continued its advance. By now, Aphrodites had been fully colonized. Whole cities had sprung up on it and millions of settlers had begun to live there. Davis had now reached more than a billion inhabitants and Hermes now owned thousands of mining establishments.Thanks to teleportation technology it was so advanced that traveling between planets was even easier than going from one city to another. Since energy and material consumption were now no longer a concern thanks to solar panels on Hermes and mining plants on asteroids, everyone had a portable teleportation device. By now, being hired to work a mine on an asteroid was no different than being hired to work at the local convenience store.Colonies on the moons of Leviathan and Behemoth had multiplied, providing e

More time, more changes. In just one year, many things had changed.Nefertiti had assumed control of the entire astrophysics division of the dinosaur pack, effectively acting as acting pack leader for them. After the first shared mission, she had begun to promote more policies of integration and union between humans and animals. She had facilitated interspecies interspace operations, sending animals and humans to work together in the new worlds to be colonized. Furthermore, there was still much to colonize, as human attention was slowly shifting beyond the outer Solar System to the dwarf planets and comets of the Oort Cloud.The work was not cheap and with it the possibilities of working together. With the Dyson Sphere nearing completion, energy was no longer an issue. After determining which moons to colonize, the Eden Union had begun an intensive mining program in the asteroids of the main belt in order to be able to build huge lenses to capture the sunlight and also

Path of the giant
One more year, more innovations. The more time passed, the more progress seemed to accelerate. It was like a speeding train that multiplied its speed every second: first slow, then faster and faster, until it turned into a giant projectile.Sobek knew that progress was bound to accelerate more and more, after all it was his nature. For each new discovery, countless doors open. And every door leads to other doors. This was the nature of progress. It was no coincidence that it took humanity less than two hundred years to go from horses to aircraft capable of leaving the orbit of their home planet.He recalled that on Earth, where he came from, progress had become so fast in the 21st century that it was enough to be born even a generation later or further back to find oneself in a completely different world. While in 1990 the main communication system was the satellite phone, in 2020 people used social networks for the most disparate things. While in 1990 movies were watc

Science is eternal
More time had passed. This time it was a year… or maybe a year and a half? I don't know. Not that it mattered much, actually.The world's attention to the inner solar system was gradually waning. Now that three planets had been terraformed, even if one of them still wasn't enough, and Hermes had become a stable colony that was continuously producing large panels of glass that joined in the orbit of the Sun to form the Dyson Sphere, the humanity was beginning to anticipate new challenges. From the inner solar system it was time to move to the outer solar system.Although some colony outposts were already present on some moons of Behemoth, they could not be defined as true colonies. However, now that energy consumption was no longer a problem thanks to the Dyson Sphere, which although not completed already released enormous amounts of energy, the Eden Union decided to start an exploration program of the entire outer solar system, or at least of the space between B

Giant of the skies
Two more years had passed. The advance of humanity towards the stars continued inexorably.The hypotheses of the scientists had proved to be correct: using a combination of gravity control technology and energy obtained from the Dyson sphere, although still incomplete, they had managed to accelerate the rotation of Aphrodites. The planet was slowly accelerating, though not too fast. There was generally talk of an hour each week. At this speed there was no risk of destroying the infrastructure already present on the planet. Yes two years, the rotation period had gone from 2082 hours to 1978 hours. Continuing at this rate, it was expected to reach 24 hours in 'just' another 38 years.Once this process was completed, the huge orbiting mirrors could finally be taken off. The day/night cycle would no longer be artificially determined and there would no longer be the risk that something would go wrong due to the impact of a micrometeorite. In addition, the accelerated rotati
