After teaching thousands of doctors and professors, and establishing facilities to produce the five internal organs in many countries—along with specialized centers for the additional two external organs—Rai finally felt a bit more relaxed.
With so many people now capable of creating the five internal and two external organs, and with the blessings of his globally popular live streaming channel, along with investments pouring in from every nation on Earth, Rai had become the richest person in the world.
But wealth was never his goal. What Rai truly desired was to explore the universe.
Meanwhile, debates raged between the military and the scientific community—this time about how to handle Mars and Venus.
The researchers focused on studying the lifeforms of Venus, intrigued by their strange biology and potential evolutionary secrets.
The military, however, wanted control—to dominate Venus, even if it meant capturing or killing the dangerous creatures that lived there.
Their reason was clear: Venus held unique benefits for the seven artificial organs developed by Rai.The planet's environment triggered extraordinary biological responses in them. To the military, controlling Venus meant controlling the future of human evolution.
Back on Mars, humanity had already built its second home. With a population reaching into the millions, the red planet now housed hotels, marketplaces, schools, and even entertainment hubs. Mars was no longer just a mission—it had become a civilization.
On Earth, people without wealth began volunteering for dangerous planetary missions, offering their lives in exchange for the full set of seven artificial organs.
A few groups opposed this, calling it exploitation. But their voices were small—drowned out by the overwhelming success and allure of these missions. The results were real, and immortality now seemed within reach.
With the dimensional gates to Mars and Europa now fully operational, Rai approved the next expedition. Twenty volunteers, all of whom had undergone full organ augmentation surgeries, were selected for a groundbreaking mission:
10 to Ganymede
10 to Callisto
They were not just researchers. They were pioneers. Soldiers of evolution. And perhaps… the first of a truly new kind of human.
Ten explorers descended upon Ganymede. Aboard their sleek orbital craft, they made the bold decision to head directly into one of the planet's massive surface fissures.
As they exited the ship, their first steps were more like powerful leaps—gravity was low, allowing them to soar with ease. The long crevice led them into a vast cave where strange, glowing stones lined the walls, casting shimmering reflections on the icy surfaces.
Their eyes lit up.
"These could be gemstones..." one of them whispered in awe.
They continued deeper, their suits adjusting to the increasing cold. Eventually, they reached a frozen pool—solid ice, but scans beneath revealed what might be a subsurface ocean. Life… or something else… could be hiding down there.

Meanwhile, the team headed toward Callisto had made landfall. The landscape was ancient, cratered, like a planet-sized relic from a time long forgotten.
As they explored the eerily silent surface, something impossible happened.
From above, a floating figure appeared.
The ten explorers froze. The live stream audience watching from Earth exploded with disbelief.
The being's upper body resembled a human, with hair, eyes, and facial features—but its skin was a deep blue, and its lower body flowed like liquid flame or water, keeping it suspended effortlessly in the air.
> "Humans… You have come at last?"
(spoken in ancient Sumerian)
Thanks to their translator systems, the team understood every word.
> "Who… are you?"
The being tilted its head slightly.
> "I am a resident of this place. Be cautious as you explore the four moons of Jupiter."
"Let me tell you a truth hidden for eons—Jupiter is actually a seal. A sigil containing the Ouroboros, a colossal serpent that devours planets."
"Do not break that seal… unless you wish to awaken what sleeps beneath."
The Callisto team was left confused and terrified.
> "Ouroboros? A sigil beneath Jupiter?"
The world erupted in shock. The live broadcast drew a flood of panicked and skeptical comments.
> "Is that creature real?"
"What kind of being could that be?"
The mysterious blue-skinned figure hovered above the ground, his voice echoing through the translator:
> "A colossal serpent capable of devouring planets. It slumbers within Jupiter itself. Long ago, we sealed it using four ancient keys—one hidden within each of Jupiter's moons. If you were to unknowingly destroy even one of those keys… the creature may awaken."
> "Where exactly are those keys?"
"Is there no way to kill it?"
The being tilted his head, his glowing eyes piercing.
> "Kill it? Ask yourself—can your strongest weapon even destroy a planet?"
"And this... is not a planet. It is a living being with terrifying regenerative power."
The military and scientists stopped their debate.
The creatures on Venus were nothing compared to the threat of Ouroboros—the planet-devouring serpent.
After an emergency summit, both sides reached an agreement:
The military would continue training its elite units on Venus, not only to confront unknown alien lifeforms but also to assist scientists in capturing and studying Venusian creatures. The ultimate goal—develop stronger, bio-adapted weaponry.
As time passed, the number of users with the five internal and two external organs grew rapidly.
Mars, Venus, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto were now teeming with explorers, researchers, and even settlers.
But a new warning from the blue-skinned alien had shifted the focus again to Jupiter's moons.
A hidden city on Callisto was discovered—inhabited by an entire civilization of blue aliens.
Delegations from around the world arrived on Callisto to uncover more about the sigils and their origins. Scientists, professors, and leaders gathered to understand what lay beneath the moons.
To everyone's surprise, the blue-skinned beings—who called themselves Blubge—offered peaceful trade.
They were fascinated by Earth's "gomu" (rubber) and food.
In return, Callisto revealed more secrets:
Glowing stones that pulsed with untapped energy.
Nutrient-rich subterranean plants, edible and sustaining.
Giant worms—three times the size of cattle, boneless, and raised as livestock. Their meat was tender, savory, and delicious.
Thus began a cultural and culinary exchange between humans and the Blubge of Callisto.
