924 Interlude (part 2)

Several Universes away, Aurae, who was about to execute a long-distance teleportation, suddenly froze. The six lightning suns serving as its eyes dimmed significantly, and the tsunami-like waves of energy radiating from its being suddenly receded.

As improbable as it may seem, the titanic android "frowned."

"Who did this?" The robot snarled with a tinge of frustration and helplessness in its metallic voice. "I had finally managed to breach their defenses and pinpoint the coordinates of Grigori's Divine Academy when I lost them again. I can't even lock my mental sense onto the coordinates of Seed World Z4ZF1367 anymore. It's as if it has literally been erased from the Mirror Universe."

Aurae was no ignorant small Evolver but a venerable Ancient Designer. Faced with this unusual situation, its processor accessed the Oracle System's Archives and sifted through billions of decillions of exaoctets of data in less time than it takes a human to blink.
