Meanwhile, that evening, on one of the Thousand Islands, in a large, secret research facility located in the middle of the island, an old man dressed like a professor was busy in his room. His room was filled with advanced and sophisticated equipment, like something out of a sci-fi movie. A young man in a full suit entered the room.
"How is it, Professor? Any progress on the new energy machine's development?" he asked immediately.
"Not yet, something is still missing," the professor replied.
"I brought this for you..." the man said, taking something from his pocket and placing it on the table.
The professor turned and walked to the table. He picked up a brass-colored gold pendant with a genuine gold chain. The pendant was adorned with a beautiful blue aquamarine stone. The professor took a knife and pried open the gemstone, opening the pendant. Inside was a blurred photo of a young woman, her face not clearly visible. But the professor put the pendant back down and held the stone up to examine it.
"Hmm... this might be useful for my new discovery... where did this stone come from?" the professor asked.
"My men got it from Banjarmasin. Can it be used, Professor?" the man asked.
"We'll try," the professor replied.
The professor immediately turned and walked to the large machine in front of him. He inserted the gemstone into a container connected to the machine. He lowered the glasses on his forehead and pressed a button. Two blue laser beams immediately shone on the gemstone, making it spin rapidly. Suddenly, the building trembled as if an earthquake had struck. The professor and the man behind him struggled to maintain their balance.
In front of the machine, a black cloud formed a hole, like a black hole. All the items in the room began to lift and spin around the room due to the black hole's suction. The professor and the man lay prone on the floor, holding onto a firmly anchored shelf pole. Items began to be pulled into the black hole's vortex and swallowed.
"Aaaaaah... help!" the man shrieked as his grip slipped.
The professor tried to reach for the man, but he couldn't release his own grip. The man spun in the air and was immediately absorbed into the black hole. After the man was swallowed, the black hole's vortex stopped. The professor fell to the ground. He immediately put on his glasses, which had come off and he'd caught while floating. After putting his glasses back on, he saw a pair of legs standing in front of him. The professor looked up, his eyes widening as he saw a tall, muscular man with blue skin, a pair of black wings on his back, and two curved horns on his head that looked truly terrifying.
The professor immediately stood up and then sat down, crawling backward. The man in front of him remained silent. He looked to the right and left as if observing his surroundings. He looked down and examined his body; he was wearing the clothes of the young man who had been absorbed earlier. He immediately tore off his clothes, revealing his heavily tattooed body.
"Wh-who are you?" the professor asked.
Hearing the professor's question, the man turned to look at the professor but didn't answer. He tilted his head, staring at the professor with an expressionless face and sharp red eyes.
"I asked... who are you?" the professor asked again.
The man instead walked closer to the professor and immediately grabbed his head, lifting him. Then the man closed his eyes, and the professor appeared to be in pain. Suddenly, he released his grip, and the professor fell to the floor.
"Wh-what did you do?" the professor asked, holding his aching head.
The man immediately squatted in front of the professor and gazed at his face. His mouth began to open and move.
"Where is this?" he asked in a terrifying voice.
The professor was startled by his voice. He immediately moved backward, his face pale, but the man's hand snatched his clothes and pulled the professor's face close to his own.
"Answer, where is this?" the terrifying man said.
"Wh-who are you?" the professor asked.
"Why don't you answer my question? Where is this?" the man asked again, staring at the professor's face.
"I-Indonesia... Jakarta..." the professor replied.
The man released the professor's clothes, making the professor fall back. Then he walked to the machine where the gemstone had been placed. He observed the machine with a blank expression and pressed the button again. Seeing the gem begin to spin again, the professor quickly grabbed the rack embedded in the structure. A black hole reopened, but this time the large, terrifying man stood in front of the hole. He put his hand inside and pulled out a beautiful woman whose lower body was a long snake. The terrifying horned man put his hand in once more; he pulled out a large one-eyed man whose lower body was goat-like, standing on two legs and having four muscular arms.
The terrifying man pressed the button again, and the black hole gradually disappeared. Then the half-snake woman and the large one-eyed man immediately knelt before the terrifying man. They spoke in a strange language that no one understood. The professor, watching them, was extremely terrified. The terrifying man turned and stepped closer to the professor, then squatted again in front of him. His face smiled sardonically, staring intensely at the professor's face.
"Work for me. I will conquer this universe. My name is Khall Zurax. I am the ruling king of the largest continent in the world, called Lemuria. Now I am free and will conquer this world and the universe," he said in a terrifying voice.
"N-no... I'd rather die..." the professor replied in fear.
"Very well, if that is your wish," Khall Zurax replied.
Khall Zurax raised his hand and immediately flicked it. He decapitated the helpless professor in front of him. Then he picked up and threw the head to the half-snake woman behind him.
"Study its contents... learn everything about this world. Take that stone. We must be able to summon our army into this world. Build a machine like that one. Bring our technology to this world," Khall Zurax said, pointing to the gemstone and the machine behind his two subordinates.
"Yes, your majesty," the half-snake woman replied.
The half-snake woman opened her mouth wide and put the professor's head into her mouth. Then her neck appeared to swell as if she was swallowing the professor's head, but after that, her body burst open and emitted a bright light. She transformed into a beautiful woman with light yellow skin, wearing white clothes like a doctor and glasses, making her look very intellectual. Meanwhile, next to her, the large one-eyed man's body also emitted a bright light and transformed into a man with dark brown skin, wearing black safari clothes like a bodyguard.
Khall Zurax walked towards the window. He saw the lights illuminating the horizon from the tall building where he was and smiled. His body emitted a bright black light, and he transformed into the young man who had been swallowed by the black hole earlier.
"Now, it's time to conquer this universe. There will be no more suffering, no more sadness, no more misfortune, because all will bow to me, and I will become the king of the universe. Nothing will be able to stop me, hahahahahaha," Khall Zurax, now in his transformed state, laughed loudly, his laughter breaking the silence of the night.
