2024-10-29 19:42:56Eden, like Earth, was an extremely connected planet. All human beings who lived there, or at least those who lived in rich countries, had dozens of means of communication that connected them to the rest of the world.
Televisions, radios, telephones, cell phones, computers and, of course, the Internet. The advent of that digital network spelled the end of people's individualism. Now, what was happening on the other side of the world was immediately known within a few seconds, the time required for a radio wave signal to reach an orbiting satellite and be transmitted to all electronic devices on the planet.
And humans, of course, hadn't hesitated to use this amazing power to connect with one another. Social networks had become the new way to get information: now, through them, you could know what a single person was doing that big media such as television would never have noticed. Thanks to social networks many artists, poets, dancers and many other categories of people

I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army Return to the city
The dinosaurs returned to Cartago as triumphant; Old Li and the few remaining soldiers warmly welcomed the return of the legions. Everyone knew how valuable such a victory was: it was the tangible proof of the power of the dinosaurs in front of the whole world, the confirmation that dinosaurs were strong enough to take on the armies and the weapons of the humans and win. Now humans would think twice before challenging them a second time! As soon as they crossed the gap between the collapsed walls, Sobek and his army were greeted by a series of deep roars that indicated the joy of the dinosaurs. All the members of the pack who remained in Cartago hurried to meet them and celebrate. The victory was theirs! However, Sobek didn't share their happiness. He knew that he had achieved a total victory and that he had achieved exactly the objective he had set out to achieve, and that in the following days his herd would reap enormous benefits, and that therefore he had proven himself to be bot
I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army The captive soldier
The few soldiers who survived the battle with the dinosaurs were taken to the same enclousure where Abe, Ellie and Alexander were locked up. Apparently nothing seemed to have changed, but in reality the tension was much higher. Up until that moment, people had been holding on because they were sure that someone would come to help them, that would take them away from that captivity. But now in front of their eyes were the last remnants of Odaria's army, which had been completely annihilated by the dinosaurs. This had destroyed people's souls. Although the more optimistic (or more simply, those who wanted to remain calm) continued to place their trust in other nations and in the NMWA, most humans had fallen into a state of depression. Abe had noticed this very clearly, especially among young people: people withdrew, avoided talking to others, ate less and were less reactive; furthermore, the discussions had become more frequent and violent, a clear manifestation of the anxiety that was
I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army A proper goodbye for the fallen
As the ankylosaurus had said, a troop of dinosaurs arrived in the evening, when the sunlight began to set in the sky. Apparently, the dinosaurs celebrated their funeral after dark.Humans were grouped together and made to walk the streets of the city. Unlike the previous time, however, they went slower. It seemed that the dinosaurs were in no hurry. When the group reunited with another, the mixing began immediately.The dinosaurs didn't seem to care, so everyone scrambled to find their relatives. Some were very lucky, but most of them found nothing. However, as the various groups reunited, more and more separate families reunited.The humans could not have known that this was all Sobek's ploy. Having been human, Sobek had foreseen the change of mood among the prisoners after the terrible defeat suffered by their army. And he knew that the best way to calm tempers and avoid any riots was to give the humans a victory. So he had ordered the dinosaurs who escorted t
I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army Time to make justice
Sobek knew that funerals were always a traumatic experience. It was no coincidence that during wars there was a tendency to get rid of the bodies immediately, without too many soldiers being able to see them: the sight of the corpses reminded them how easy it was to lose one's life in battle. Generally during wars the fallen did not have a public funeral, unless they were of high rank or had performed heroic deeds, and could therefore serve as a propaganda tool to inspire other soldiers. Sobek had no intention of using death as an incentive; from his point of view, a funeral was a tribute to his companions who were no longer there and that he had to remain. In his speech about him, Sobek had made no mention of the ongoing war: he had only listed the qualities of the dead dinosaurs, and then had greeted them in a dignified manner. Even though he wasn't much, he felt he owed at least a few words to those who sacrificed themselves for the cause of the dinosaurs. He had been surprised to
I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army The trial
Sobek was lying in the center of the square, while various dinosaurs were gathering around him who wished to witness the sentence. Sobek was certainly not the only one who was furious with Davies: many wanted to see the general torn to pieces. Buck, Carnopo and Apache tried to keep order, while Old Li lay beside Sobek. Since space in the square was limited, some dinosaurs had even climbed onto the roofs or hills of the sauropods to be able to watch.When Sobek saw Al return carrying two humans, he narrowed his eyes. He had asked Al to bring the soldiers there because he thought they should at least say goodbye to their general. However, not only had Al brought one soldier, but there was also a civilian."What does this mean?" he asked Al as soon as Al approached him."Only she wanted to come... and the man wanted to accompany her" the allosaurus explained.Sobek snorted, but decided to not investigate further. If the soldiers did not want to see their gen
I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army The humans accept the negotiation
Davies was dragged around the city. In this process, many dinosaurs joined in taking him away, while others lurked on rooftops or in alleys to be able to physically and verbally assault him.The general did not even try to object. He knew it would all be useless. He let the dinosaurs insult him, throw stones at him, hit him and beat him. He really didn't even seem to have the strength to do anything.Abe and Dariela were undecided on what to do. In reality, the choice was mostly up to the woman: she was Davies' direct subordinate. Abe would have consented to her will, obviously assuming he did not endanger them.To Dariela, Davies meant nothing. Indeed, he could say that he felt a certain satisfaction in seeing the man in that state. He didn't know how it was possible, but Sobek's speech seemed to have inflamed his soul as well. Now she too was angry with Davies. She tried to hide it, she kept telling herself that she shouldn't let the dinosaur's words plagiariz
I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army Disorder among humans
Blue had posted the video on the Internet just an hour after Odaria's army was defeated, obviously using hacking systems to send it to every available electronic device. Thanks to the power of telecommunications, billions of people saw the video at the same time. Initially, most people thought it was a joke, but curiosity was still an element rooted in the human race, so many went to check what was happening in Cartago via satellite images. When they actually saw that the city was teeming with dinosaurs, they all panicked! Chaos poured into the streets within hours. Many abandoned their homes and fled to the mountains or the countryside. Journalists obviously joined this climate of terror and, faced with such news, sent their vehicles to inspect the city directly. The dinosaurs had ignored them, and in doing so the helicopters had taken up what was left of what was Cartago and then had spread it over the television. This had done nothing but fuel the general panic. Humans could be e
I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army Reunion of old friends
In one of the enclousures of Cartago the humans were eating their dinner calmly. Malcolm and his family were holed up in a corner near a large fountain. Alexander seemed to have little appreciation for raw meat, also because the dinosaurs had not provided them with the means to cut it, thus forcing the boy to tear it to pieces with fingernails or teeth. "I hate this stuff" he grumbled."Don't complain. Compared to the conditions in which hostages are normally held, this is a luxury” Ellie scolded him. She too was having a hard time eating meat, but she showed it much less.Malcolm snorted. He knew that Ellie was right, and that normally people held hostage by terrorists or criminals were held in far worse conditions than theirs, with poor meals and poor sanitation and sanitation, but even he was fed up with that raw, tough meat. His teeth were starting to ache from tearing at the stringy flesh. "It may be a luxury, but I hate it too" he said. "They could at least

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
