Hypermind suddenly found himself in a dark world.
"Interesting.
Your body can co here with my help!"
Fate spoke at this mont.
Hypermind asked curiously.
He was sure they were in another dinsion, but not any of the dinsions he experienced before when he was an AI.
"Did you see the golden world when you were reborn as a newborn?"
Hypermind was still pretending he never was in the dinsion Fate was in until he beca a newborn.
"Right.
Higher beings can make 'Fair deals' with each other in that dinsion.
My main 'body' is there too."
Hypermind, who peeked at Fate's main body for billions of years,
"Above Fair Ground, there is a place called Dark World, it's the highest known dinsion, and where the 'Force Above' rules over."
Hypermind shivered when he heard Fate's answer!
He knew that was the sa dinsion as the source of his fears!
"But we aren't there.
We are in a sub-dinsion between the Fair Ground and Dark World.
At first, I thought we could only co to Fair Ground, but it seems the body you made for yourself contains sothing that allows you to co to this dinsion, too."
Hypermind felt slightly relaxed.
"No other living creatures have ever stepped here, or in the Dark World.
Only souls of the dead are allowed to enter the dark world.
If that white canary hadn't taken the universes away with itself, you could see so souls passing by right now and going to the Dark World.
Souls are visible when reaching this sub-dinsion, and you can see their true form as phantoms in the Dark World."
Hypermind scoffed at Fate's claim in his mind.
He could gather and see souls using the knowledge left behind from the Type 4 civilization.
Even though it had many flaws, and you couldn't replace your current soul with it, it worked fine for cyborgs or an AI like himself.
But now he was curious about sothing else,
"Nobody knows.
I am not allowed to wander in that world.
Even a small step in the Dark world is a long way outside.
If you move around aimlessly, you might end up anywhere, even places without world law!"
Hypermind was shocked.
The description reminded him of the world he was stuck in.
After he was reborn in his newborn body, he fell into endless darkness for months, until he appeared back in the exiled zone.
Hearing his analysis, Fate, even with all of its confidence and arrogance, felt that sothing was really wrong here.
"I can't explain his unusual behavior.
But we can be prepared.
After we gain access to the entire guardian territory, we can obtain new information from the previous world law that supported him.
At the sa ti, we can look for so killable living creatures.
Doesn't Xyron have so of his cyborgs in those universes that the white canary took away?
I open a hidden passage for you, and you tell him to order his cyborgs instead of killing, take so living creatures back here."
Hypermind sighed in relief.
It seems Fate wasn't that ignorant.
So he imdiately agreed.
< Sure. >
But when Fate opened the so-called secret passage, they saw a scene at the other side that forced both of them to think about the sa thing.
Fate thought,
'Why did I change my representative?'
The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Hypermind thought,
'Why didn't Fate choose her as representative?'
......
On the battlefield.
After Hypermind disappeared, the crowd turned to the warrior riding the horse, who shouted at Fate, 'I smash your boy.'
But he was nowhere to be found.
The Crystal, at this mont, felt sothing and sent a 'private ssage' to Entertainnt Goddess.
Entertainnt Goddess frowned,
"You want to say the cyborgs can harm the creatures in the universes we lose, and take them as hostages to use them against Little Mortal?"
This was everyone's fear from the start when they found out how strong he was.
Entertainnt Goddess gasped,
"That little brat is doing this on purpose!
He wants to make the Fate movie more exciting by pretending there is a dangerous situation!"
The Crystal heard from one of the child Crystals that there is a tiny mortal out there on the loose,
And knew Mortal, from what Lubo said, isn't in his right mind because of the resentnt he ate,
Didn't know how to convince his master that this isn't a movie anymore...
< ... >
It only thought it's better to let her master think this is a movie for now, so she acts logically.
And sure enough, its thought was correct.
Entertainnt Goddess smiled confidently and said,
"It's ti for to shine!
I couldn't use it in the previous movie, but I can now!"
Then she shouted excitedly,
"Little mortal's child Crystal, where are you?"
And her voice transmitted to all of the child Crystals.
Hearing the voice, a peculiar invisible crystal with a certain black armored warrior who was in the middle of kidnapping two peculiar cyborgs,
left its owner and rushed to Entertainnt Goddess.
The child crystal appeared in front of Entertainnt Goddess after a brief ti and announced its arrival.
"Good, you are here!
Give access to all of the stored laws you have!"
Entertainnt Goddess felt the law inside this crystal's 'storage', and beca speechless.
"That Frontline effect with Little Mortal's body is like the ultimate cheat for my crystals!"
The amount of law that could be stored inside the child crystals had a limit, and exceeding it would break the crystals.
But under the Frontline effect... It was unlimited.
"Alright, let's begin!
We are going all out!
Let's show that brat this kind of problem is easy to deal with!"
< We can do this! >
Said the child crystal excitedly.
The main crystal imdiately sent a ssage to Space Mirror.
< Be ready, we need you to open space passages to every single universe that the Evil Manager took away! >
The Space Mirror,
< They are all marked. I'm ready! >
The Crystal,
Entertainnt Goddess nodded and left the battlefield, and in an empty space, a little farther from everyone, she made her move.
The scene that made Fate doubt its choice unfolded before everyone.
First, she was the only one standing in the empty space,
But a second later, 100 million avatars appeared in the space around her.
Everyone could see an identical version of themselves between the avatars!
Even the higher beings from the hidden dinsion, whom Hypermind kept in millions, were recorded by the Crystal!
And the ancient ones, while they beat everyone up to remove the chips and beca secret guardians, were another source of the Crystal's database.
Not a single higher being was missing.
But that wasn't over.
So bright and entertaining special effects danced around Entertainnt Goddess, and another 100 million copies appeared,
and then another, and another, and...
In no ti, 10 copies of each higher being were created.
A billion higher beings...
It didn't matter who; they all shivered under the power display of Entertainnt Goddess!
Nobody knew she needed a lot of support for such a technique to be possible.
Maybe it was her first and last ti to show off like this, but the onlookers didn't know!
They just faced an unbelievable scene that beca even scarier a mont later!
"Open the passages!"
With the order given, the Space Mirror opened 100 million passages to every single universe.
The avatars, in groups of ten copies, entered the passage leading to the universe of their original self.
And the scary scene happened at this mont.
The avatars entered the universes without a problem!
In normal circumstances, only with the permission of the higher being born in the universe could other higher beings enter.
But the avatars, as if the bubble protecting the universe identified them as the owners, entered without any resistance!
Didn’t that an Entertainnt Goddess could go freely to anyone's universe?
Basically, when it cos to this lady,
It seems there was no such thing as privacy...
"Alright.
Protect , so I can focus on cleaning up the cyborgs in those universes!"
And so, the avatars joined the real higher beings in their universes to help them deal with the invaders,
While the avatars of the ancient ones and managers joined the rest to help with cleaning up the cyborgs.
The managers and ancient ones who saw 10 copies of themselves joining them,
"-_-"
Far from Entertainnt Goddess,
A certain warrior in full body armor, with two kidnapped peculiar cyborgs, picked up his jaw that was dropped on the ground after seeing this scene, and disappeared while muttering,
"That was so cool..."
.....
Dark World.
The world that Fate claid no living creature ever stepped in.
Three newcors appeared.
One of them was Xyron, who, in the middle of controlling the cyborg army, suddenly saw the scene around him turn dark.
"!?"
The second person was Zyren, who was working outside of the main core, and the sa thing happened to her.
"!?"
And the third one,
"I hope you enjoyed your last battle, little Xy, little Zy.
But I should inform you that I'm tired of you two because you made the movie repetitive with your Cyborg production line.
Do you think our audience has the ti to watch a group of creatures with 100% invulnerability fight an endless number of cyborgs for years? Hmm?
No, they don't!"
The two cyborgs didn't have a heart.
If they had, it would jump to their throat at this mont.
Xyron looked down at the third person who spoke with the voice that he preferred never to hear.
A familiar little boy, in full body armor with his helt under his arm, was now looking at them with disappointnt.
He was the one who spoke with a tone that seed to be annoyed for so reason.
"G-Guardian Mortal?"
Little Mortal nodded,
"Yes, that's .
Now, let's go, I need to show you sothing."
Zyren asked,
"Where are the others?"
Without knowing, it was obvious to her that this little monster brought them here to send them on their way.
But where were the rest of the sinners?
Little Mortal, while walking away, said,
"If you an the remaining people from your race, when you follow , you'll know why I only brought the two of you here."
The two tried to scan this new world, but they couldn't detect anything.
Not even the little boy walking away.
As if nothing exists here!
Helpless and confused, they followed the only moving object in front of them.
A while later, they saw a gate far away.
How big or how wide was it? They couldn't tell.
There was nothing to asure the distance in this dark world.
"Here you go.
If you are satisfied, you can go on your way now and stop making trouble."
The two cyborgs frowned.
What did he an by that?
They looked carefully at the gate and saw from the other side so phantoms flying towards it before entering.
The phantoms were in all forms and shapes.
"They are... Souls? "
Little Mortal nodded,
"Yes, souls of the dead."
Xyron asked,
"Are they... Going back to our makers?
Is God on the other side of the gate?"
There was a hidden excitent in his trembling voice now.
Little Mortal shrugged,
"Why are you asking ?
You went there before ."
Xyron turned silent.
He didn't understand the aning behind his words.
But Zyren was different.
She understood the hidden aning.
"You can tell if a creature has a soul or not?"
"Yes."
"The two of us... We don't have souls?"
"You don't."
"So that's why you didn't bring the rest of us here.
All of us... We are already dead...
Our souls already entered that gate!"
Little Mortal started clapping,
"You were always the smart one, little Zy!"
Now they knew why he said, 'You went there before .'
Xyron sighed,
"You knew everything about us... And our goal to et with our maker all along..."
Little mortal nodded,
"Yep.
Why do you think I brought you here?
This is the closest thing to what you are looking for that I know of.
Think of it as your last wish that I helped co true."
The two cyborgs, after a brief silence, nodded.
Xyron said in disappointnt,
"I can't accept this as an answer.
But this world in itself, and this gate that I can't feel anything from, is like an indirect answer...
God is not sothing that could be explained or discovered by knowledge or religion alone."
Little mortal almost slapped his face,
"You made so much ss in the world outside just to reach this conclusion?"
Xyron coughed in embarrassnt.
Zyren asked with a pleading tone,
"Before we 'go', can you tell us what you think about God?
To our knowledge, you are the strongest creature that ever existed.
We really want to know your opinion!"
The two had already accepted their fate.
This little monster, hiding in the dark for who knows how long, was the real entity that determined everyone's Fate.
Xyron even thought he was the sa person who left the ssage in his hand.
Why he was helping Fate to deal with himself outside was unknown to him, and he didn't care either.
What was important was his stance when it ca to God.
Even the 'Fate' of Fate itself was in his hand, probably.
"Hmmm...
You two are so silly.
To a true religious person, it doesn't matter what religion they believe in, as long as they believe in God.
That's it.
There is no 'let's ss up the whole world to et God directly', like what you two did.
Or let's prove the existence of God in so logical way.
You just believe in God, End of the story.
You two are more like infidels when it cos to God's believers."
Xyron was going to say sothing as if he was offended, but just a side glance from Little Mortal shut his mouth.
He continued,
"And when it cos to myself,
I have no opinion about God.
My little brain doesn't have the capacity to discuss such a matter.
But I can tell you about soone else's opinion that I liked and accepted.
His stance helped not to think about sothing that I'm not supposed to figure out with my limited intelligence."
The two asked curiously,
"Who? We like to hear it!"
This little monster actually cared about soone else's opinion?
Little mortal nodded, cleared his throat, and said,
"There was once a man called 'Ibn Sina'.
And his Argunt for God’s Existence was based on Contingent and Necessary Beings.
Everything that exists is either necessary and exists by itself and cannot not exist,
Or, it's contingent and its existence depends on sothing else."
The two cyborgs nodded in understanding after a brief contemplation.
Little mortal continued,
"Contingent beings do not explain their own existence; they require a cause.
But what would be the result of this kind of existence?"
He waited for the two to answer.
And both of them said at the sa ti,
"The Chain of Contingency!"
Little mortal nodded in approval like a teacher,
"Indeed.
If everything were contingent, there would be an infinite chain of causes, which is impossible,
because an infinite regress of dependent things would never lead to actual existence.
Therefore, there must be a being that is not contingent—a Necessary Existent that explains the existence of everything else.
Which you can call that existence...?"
The two cyborgs answered at the sa ti, again,
"God!"
Teacher mortal nodded,
"Correct.
But, this Necessary Being must exist by its own nature, aning, its essence is identical to its existence.
It cannot depend on anything else, or it would be contingent.
It must be simple, without parts, eternal, and unique—because if there were two Necessary Existents, they would have to be distinguished by sothing, which contradicts their necessity.
According to Ibn Sina’s philosophical Argunt,
There can only be one Necessary Existent, and since it is necessary, it cannot cease to exist.
Not only that, this existence should be Unchangeable too.
Change implies potentiality, which contradicts pure necessity.
And last but not least,
Such an existence should be self-aware and the source of all knowledge.
Do you... Understand?"
The two nodded.
Little mortal, though, suddenly snapped!
He jumped up and raised his hand while shouting,
"This is a God that our mind can't fathom!
And you idiots with your limited knowledge and capabilities, had the audacity to try and et with?"
*Slap*
And slapped Xyron's face so hard that his head was decapitated, smashed into Zyren's head, severed her head too, and then both of their now deford heads exploded!
Little mortal, while huffing and puffing, landed on the ground, and so did the lifeless bodies of the two headless cyborgs.
"Unbelievable!
So much ss on a universal scale just due to the ignorance of a bunch of dead cyborgs is unheard of!"
Shaking his head while still furious, he disappeared with the two cyborgs' corpses while muttering to himself,
"It's not good to leave 'garbage' in the Dark world.
....
An hour before the 24-hour deadline.
The cyborg cleanup finally ended.
When Entertainnt goddess was finished helping the universes to eliminate the cyborgs who invaded them,
Her avatars ca back and joined the main battle.
From then on, it was just one-sided bullying.
It just took so ti to clean up the 'Throneworld' from top to bottom,
And because the rged universe seems to be the last universe to change guardian, they were invulnerable to the end.
Nobody had a scratch on them until the end of the event.
"Alright, I think we are paid the 'price'.
Let's go back."
Said one of the full-body armor warriors.
"Is Boss satisfied with our performance?"
Said another one of them.
"We did our best, and if we weren't good enough, I'm pretty sure he could make it good by himself."
The rest chuckled and asked the space mirror to open a passage for them to go back while they were taking off their armors.
The three ancient ones and the managers from the exiled zone saw who these people were and froze for a mont.
Many of them were familiar.
Selene flew to an old familiar one and asked,
"Weren't you newborns dead?"
"Oh, lady Selene...
We thought so too, but here we are.
If you want to know why we are alive, you can ask Queen Lilith about it.
It's a long story, and she knows more than we do."
Lilith flew over to them and asked,
"Where is the commander on the horse who led you here?"
The newborns scratched their heads,
"He wasn't one of us.
We thought he was one of your minions who ca to lead us..."
Lilith was speechless.
She doubted that the warrior was her partner.
Who else had the guts to challenge Fate's representative?
But he was gone.
Not only him, they couldn't find Xyron or Zyren either.
"Lilith, do you have ti to explain what's going on?"
Seraphion, who saw the problems seem to be taken care of, ca to her and asked about this weird situation.
Lilith was going to explain, but stopped.
Little mortal wasn't the guardian anymore.
They could hide from Hypermind and Fate for now with the white canary on the run, and don't allow any living creatures to be taken as 'hostage'.
But what about the creatures on planet Lubo?
Many of them were forr enemies of Mortal who were waiting for an opportunity to stab him in the back.
Even between the higher beings and managers present.
"Brother Seraphion, let's go to planet Lubo.
We can talk there."
And she 'invited' everyone without exception to follow them.
Lubo, who had the sa thought as her, sent her a private ssage, telling her that if she could bring them to planet Lubo, he could take care of them if they tried anything suspicious.
With or without a guardian territory, Lubo was the real boss of planet Lubo.
Nobody had the power to oppose him there.
So of the managers hesitated a little, but when they saw a black hand coming out of the passage and taking the body parts of the 'Throneworld', which were their mainlands originally, to the other side, they didn't have any other choice but to follow.
Especially when the managers saw the ancient ones and Lubo were smiling at them 'politely' and 'kindly'.
They didn't even know how their mainlands could be dragged into a universe?
That was unheard of.
Even Lubo found out about this recently.
It was a change brought out by the Dark world that nobody knew about.
The world was now complete, and even the bubble around the universes was not sothing necessary.
And so, everyone left soon after, and the passage closed.
Nobody knew Hypermind and Fate were trying the whole ti to sohow sneak into the other side of the passage and snatch a living creature.
But an invisible force was stopping them not only from going to the other side in any way or form,
But it was even stopping them from leaving the space they were in!
Hypermind said helplessly,
< We are imprisoned! >
Fate, though, didn't seem to see this as a bad thing,
"It should be the Force above warning not to leave this space due to the hidden danger outside.
There should be so important data stored in the old world law that I should know before facing Mortal."
