[End Of Information]
The panel shone brightly at the center of the large cluster of brightly colored beings. In the vast, seemingly infinite stretch of space, the Supreme Beings watched in silence as they successfully ‘Integrated’ one of their own.
“It is done…?”
One of them finally broke the silence, looking at the rest of his comrades tat stretched infinitely across the vast, colorful expanse. Even though his face was shrouded in white light, confusion was written all over it.
His voice, though dignified, displayed an ounce of doubt.
And he wasn’t the only one.
“It is done?”
“It is done?”.
“It is done?”
The Supreme Beings began questioning, one after the other, until their voices turned into echoes and then became one. All of them had certainly watched the <Integration> process, witnessing their fellow Supreme Being turn into white light particles and become one with the System.
However, after that, they were expecting one more thing… the (G) Essence distribution.
The Supreme Beings were not fond of doing this, but they had no choice. Their confusion was too much to ponder in silence and ignorance. For omnipotent and omniscient beings such as them to have had no idea of what was happening, something was amiss.
“SYSTEM WINDOW!” They all spoke in unison.
Rainbow-colored panels appeared before each of the floating majestic beings as they each checked their Status Information. Yes, they all had Status Windows that displayed their Stats, just like a game.
With their blank eyes, the same color as the rest of their celestial bodies, they read through the countless information that existed there and spotted the ones they were after.
(G) Karma Points
(G) Factor
(G) Layer
These three items on their Status Windows were their main focus.
The moment their narrowed their eyes and focused their vision on it, the Supreme Beings confirmed their suspicion.
“NOTHING HAPPENED?!” Their chorus rang through the Grand Corridor, the central hub that connected all their words.
This Grand Assembly, comprised of all-powerful beings, was now in disarray as there seemed to be an error somewhere.
“What is this?”
“Why is nothing new here?”
“There is supposed to be an update.”
“Why?”
Countless murmurs made by the Gods of various worlds filled the air, and no one could find an answer… until one finally spoke.
“Could it be that… A-67 already made a countermeasure?”
The moment this statement was uttered, all the Supreme Beings stopped their murmurs, nearly like machines.
They began considering the new proposal brought by one of their own.
“A-67 already anticipated this?”
“A-67 would escape his punishment and defy The Order?”
“A-67 did break the Statute, it is possible that A-67 also defied the System!”
“How did A-67 do that?”
“Why did A-67…”
“<Integration> wasn’t supposed to be like this.”
More confusion echoed across the Corridor as everyone felt a mix of agitation and other emotions that were foreign to the invincible and exceedingly powerful beings of light.
What could have caused such an uproar? What was it about <Integration> that was so important, and why had it not gone the way they wanted.
It was because none of the Supreme Beings received their share of rhe (G) Essences that was distributed by the System.
According to the rules of <Integration>, only those fit for the (G) Essences could receive it, and we’re labeled ‘Candidates’. Once a Supreme Being experienced this phenomenon, all his EXP, Abilities, Stats… all that defined him would be broken down and split between all Candidates.
That meant that the Supreme Beings were surely to gain more privileges with the Integration of one of their own.
However, there were no privileges this time!
The Supreme Beings checked their Status Windows once again and found out that not only was there no change in the (G) areas of their Status Windows, but all their Stats and Levels remained the same.
They had all skipped the rest of the Stats and went for the (G) items in their list because those were the most important, but now that everything was in view, these white lights realized that nothing had truly changed
This was getting absurd!
“It has to be the boy.”
“It has to be the human….”
“… The Gifted…”
“Jeremy Lewis!”
The Supreme Beings could have never imagined that a single, insignificant human would cause such a commotion in their midst.
Though no words were exchanged, these beings had already realized what was occurring.
It was obvious.
The Supreme Being of Sector A-67 had clearly shown favor to a particular Gifted and gave him special treatment, a violation of the sacred Statute they all revered.
As a result, he was punished and sentenced to <Integration>, a synonym for death!
If there was something wrong with the <Integration> process, then it had to stem from the fact that a single variable existed.
That variable was Jeremy Lewis.
“We have no authority over Sector A-67 since we received no (G) Essences.”
“We can not interfere directly. Doing so would be a violation of the Statute.”
“We can not see the human, Jeremy Lewis’ flow of fate beyond a point, for some reason as well…”
This was indeed the strangest thing that had ever occurred since the dawn of creation.
This anomaly, the singularity, Jeremy Lewis, had to be eliminated. The only question was how?
The Gods had to abide by the laws themselves, preventing them from direct interference. They could do certain things, but even those had limitations.
Even in a place outside of time, these beings felt impatient.
However, just as earlier… an idea sparked in the heads of all Supreme Beings as they all arrived at a conclusion in sync.
“An Executioner!”
“Let us send an Executioner!”
“An Executioner is the best choice!”
They all looked at each other and were convinced of their choice.
Out of all the prospective solutions in mind, this was by far the most efficient. To wipe out the blot known as Jeremy Lewis, they would employ one of their greatest assets…
… And Execute the Singularity!
