-The Earth (not our universe) -

From space you can see a planet with a dim blue glow, a glow produced by the reflection of its seas in the atmosphere, beautiful there is no doubt, even so, do not be fooled because this jewel before full of life now has nothing more than death.

What had once been great cities full of life, are now deserted and in ruins, but only the cities? no, forests, oceans, prairies, no creature remained without extermination, even the plants have been disappearing.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a long war that lasted more than 10 years, a war waged by the inhabitants of this world and those who arrived, a war whose objective would be to decide who would stay with this planet, the result, the defenders lost.

Although not all of them were exterminated, different small groups of warriors managed to survive, one of these is being led by Mark Tanner, previously a simple Scientist, now the leader of a small group of 30 brave.

In the center of the city of Nexus stands a huge terra-forming tower, one of several placed in different parts of the world, each with a size equivalent to a skyscraper. With a para-ray at the top that seems to want to cross the sky, from time to time a beam of light shoots towards the sky coming from the highest part of the tower and soon after the doors of this a legion of creatures departed Of the worst nightmares of any being come out, moving with slowness and vagrancy, after all, they have already won, what they do not know is that they have underestimated the last humans.

As the groups of remnants have devised a plan together, they know that they have lost the battle, but they will not lose the war, all the groups have united to carry out the last plan "The last hammer", a name given by the purpose that They want to achieve with this latest plan.

-2 hours since the operation began-

Mark was hurrying inside the tower, standing on each corner, on his back carrying a backpack with a package inside it, grabbing with both his hands the M-30 assault rifle, and wearing blue clothes indicating his rank as combat engineer, a cap of the same color and a transmitter in the ear with a small protruding micro used to communicate with the members of his group.

"BUFF ~, my shoulders are shattered" - thought Mark, leaning on a wall to put his backpack on well, before getting up again to continue on his way, his goal the last floor where the portal and the terra-formator meet.

Boom!

Just as he was passing through one of the windows, Mark heard an explosion, for anyone it would have been strange except for what he knew it meant.

"I must hurry, the attack has already begun, I can not allow his sacrifice to be in vain, today is the last day of this war. If or if today should end, "Mark muttered as he clenched his fists tightly.

The trip to the top was not very uneven, after all his companions had sacrificed themselves to attract the attention of these invaders, of whom they did not know the name of their race, nor their culture, their technology completely unknown, the only thing who knows about them is that they suddenly appeared and began to destroy and annihilate all forms of life, beginning with animals, in which humans are included.

Right now, he was in the highest part of the tower a completely flat area, in the center was a rectangle on a small platform that was the portal, and next to this a huge machine that looked at all a triangle Attached to a wall, this was connected to the peak that came out of the tower and reached the heavens.

"I have arrived, now I must finish this quickly install the bomb and detonate it" Mark muttered before getting to work.

This pump contains as a detonator a mineral with the appearance of yellow crystal called Aladio, said mineral arose a few months after the appearance of the invaders, it has a great energetic potential and in this explosive case, possessing also the incredible property of interfering with the energies used through the portal and the terra-forming machine, creating a chain reaction, the resulting explosion would end up destabilizing the space itself, and as all the portals are connected the explosion would pass from one portal to another and to the terra-forming machine of each site which would cause the spatial distortion of the explosion to travel around the planet enveloping it. In simple terms, goodbye to the planet.

While working, Mark did not forget to observe in his PDA the situation of the other bombs, according to this all the others have already been placed only missing his.

"Hey? The noises have stopped, I must hurry just need to press this button and ...... "- BANG" AHHH! "Shouted Mark when he was shot by the energy weapons of one of the creatures and flying one meter away to the left From the bomb, he had been so focused working to put her that he had not realized that combat noises had stopped more than 15 minutes ago, long enough for some of these creatures to return to the tower.

Luckily, this "shock soldier", as the members of the resistance called him, did not usually have great marksmanship, giving Mark a shoulder.

"Ugh .." while complaining about the pain Mark managed to turn around and observe the creature

With a body of approximately 2'50 meters a huge humanoid figure, with an armor that completely covered the body, spikes left for each part of his body turning him a mass of death when charging towards his victim, nobody has ever seen the form below of the armor of one of these creatures, mainly because when they died they basically turned into dust, it was something very strange.

While this creature approached without making a single noise to Mark, he observed how this enemy was not alone, behind the soldier of shock came another 20 like him and another figure this figure average approximately 4 meters high, was humanoid, in the head by mouth you could see about 9 tentacles acting as if they were whiskers, eyes that shone yellow mustard could be seen on each side of his face, for Mark this creature was the first time he appeared, the most amazing was that "soldiers of shock "they obeyed, with a gesture of the creature the soldiers stopped pointing to Mark but they never stopped watching him with vigilance. And then to an even greater astonishment in his mind, a voice spoke.

"You are the last ~" (Creature)

"The last one?" (Mark)

"The last of your kind, of this world. What do I not understand is why you attacked when you knew that dying would be your destiny ~? " (Creature)

"......... No, I have to tell you nothing, that you showed up and without warning, you started to hunt us and massacre us as if we were animals" (Mark)

While saying this Mark got up slowly gathering all his strength, and I take a quick look at the PDA that was on the ground, they were still active, so he prepared to go at full speed in the direction of the bomb which only had to press a red button to blow it up.

The creature observed Mark without moving, the reason he had spoken with Mark is that he had seen something in his eyes, a flame that had not yet turned off, it was strange normally he should have lost that light, he was in a situation in which there was no way out, and still.

Mark realized that the creature was watching him closely, whether he knew what he was planning or not, it did not matter since he did not stop or directly did not care.

"We attack you because that is our function, the function by which we were created, we are a test sent by" The eternal "and you have failed ~" (creature)

"A test? You're telling me that this was all a test, billions of lives finished, a planet practically dead just for a test! "(Mark) He was approaching a few more inches to the bomb

The creature undeterred the outburst of Mark's fury, just said a word.

"Yes ~" (Creature)

At that moment Mark without thinking he ran to the bomb the creature ordered the shock soldiers to shoot Mark while preparing to go towards him, unfortunately, it was too late Mark, was next to the bomb and had squeezed the button.

"Well tell your creator, yes you end up meeting him in the afterlife, that you can put your tests where the sun does not shine because we are not his toys and we never will be" (Mark)

That was the last thing Mark said before a beam of white light stretched out completely.

This was the end of the planet earth and the entire universe 1138.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just then Mark woke up, was lying on the bed of a room that was unfamiliar, was decorated as a way that would leave the palaces of the earth as simple shacks, the bed incredibly comfortable and large enough to fit 3 or 4 people in them, the room was spacious enough for 8 to 9 people to enter and even then there would be enough space for it to move, on the left wall you could see a closet, to the right of this a small table with a mirror and a left a full-size mirror, and to the right a desk, at the back on the opposite wall where the bed is next to the exit door of the room you can see the door open to a bathroom.

Mark was completely amazed, unfortunately, his astonishment was not going to last long because at that moment a blue astral arrow pointing towards the exit of the room appeared in front of Mark with a few words under them.

"Get dressed and get dressed in the clothes that are in the closet, then follow the arrows, we have to talk."

"Honestly I do not like it, but considering that I have no idea where I am, I guess I have no choice, plus I have the feeling that the one who sent these directional arrows has to have control over this site. "Mark thought.

A few minutes later Mark left the room completely clean and dressed in a silver-gray suit and a black three-quarter jacket, which was the only clothes in the closet, ready to follow the direction of the arrows.

A few minutes later he found himself in front of a huge door, easily about 10 meters high.

"Ok ... and now as I enter because I do not have the strength to open a door of this size. "Mark thought as he stroked the top of his head with brown hair

Just when I finished thinking that the huge doors opened slowly, revealing a throne room, at the back of it, was sitting on a golden and silver throne the figure of a man of about 30-40 years, with a color of the eye right black and the other left white, the hair had the same color as the eyes, but his pattern was reversed. The costume he had was the same style as Mark, except with a strange design, it seemed that within this there were galaxies and stars, the incredible thing is that they did not stop moving as if they were real.

Although Mark was amazed, what really shocked him were the first words that this man told him.

"Welcome to my palace Mark, I am Nix, the primordial god of this multiverse, and do not worry I have written down those words that you said earlier about my tests in my book of constructive opinions," Nix said while smiling at Mark in a disturbing way.
