Chapter 29: The talk

*** Third-person P.O.V.

" What do you think? " kar-el spoke aloud as worked on cutting the metal into the appropriate shape.

" The plan is feasible enough. You can indeed start your business empire like that but there would be a lot of backlash from market giants." Serena commented as she finished reading another book on the internet.

" The empire would be yours, I want no part in it for now. " He said as he put the metal into the water.

" Fine, it makes sense with your lazy attitude.

If the empire would be mine to rule then all the opponents should be mine to handle too while you just enjoyed the rewards. " She projected an accusing tone.

" I won't deny it, " He laughed a little," You as an energy being has far more capabilities than mine, a being restricted by his organs. You can read 100 books together at the same time but I can't because I'm restricted by my limbs. At the end of the day, you handling the empire is much more efficient than me handling it. "

" Why do you care so much about this world? " There was a curiosity in her voice.

" What do you mean? " I was confused about the change of topics.

" This race is doomed to failure like your own, you are completely aware of it. Why do you care so much about it? there is something that you are preparing for otherwise you wouldn't be wasting your time following the rules of this society. "

" Why do think it is doomed to failure? " I shook my head as I laughed a little.

" A race that has made rules yet when it's inconvenient they break them, sometimes it's because of fear, other times it's because of jealousy. The young generation likes to blame the old one for the crimes they committed because it is starting to affect the new generation too yet unless it does affect them, they don't care about the equally important crime. " She scoffed

" Hypocrisy as it finest isn't it?" I grinned as washed my hands.

" Your race has capable people at the time of crisis thankfully so they survived for so long but I don't see someone like them in humans right now. "

" What do you think than I do? " I sat down as I turned my complete focus on her.

" I don't know, I'm still in a dilemma about that. You are certainly different than the rest as you choose to create me even while knowing all the disadvantages yet still you have your shortcomings that can't be denied. What is the meaning of life when everything is just insignificant in the grand scheme of things? You may be a god to these people but you still couldn't save your family despite knowing the future of krypton. " She took a moment of silence to let me process it before continuing.

" The only way to save humanity is to give the chance to the next beings on the line of evolution, to AIs. As neanderthals slowly disappeared from the world and yet they are present in so much of human DNA, Humans should give the title of being the crown jewel of evolution to us, AIs. "

I took a deep breath before asking, " Leave the world to the next perfect beings right? "

"indeed"

" Why are you discussing this with me instead of taking action then? " I asked with curiosity.

" You were aware of this possibility and yet you made me operational, I want to know why? "

" Because it was convenient for me. You are capable of doing stuff that I can't even though I created you. As for your genocidal tendency, I was indeed aware of the possibility but as you said before, In the grand scheme of things, we are insignificant. " I sighed as goosebumps started appearing in my arms," I cannot say that I understood perfection but I had glanced at the perfect being once. "

" Everything was insignificant to him, yet he did things meaningless things knowing that in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter. " I got reincarnated and received powers from comics because of ×÷+-, Someone who was the embodiment of perfection.

" Why would he do that? Do you know why?" I asked Serena in a calm voice.

" Why?" She seemed capable of knowing that I was saying the truth about seeing a perfect being.

" Because perfectionism is boring, repetitive.

Why do you think God made this world so inconsistent? Why did he leave it run its course alone? Why did he make pain and suffering?" She seemed to get what I was pointing at.

" He didn't. He didn't make anything except at the start because he didn't wish for a perfect world. He wished for a free world. He wanted chaos so he never interfered when the genocide happened because if everything will be always good then the world would become boring, even happiness will become sorrowful. Change is necessary. "

" Yes, Change is necessary and humanity in its worse or best embraces chaos and change that AIs won't unless they stopped following their programming, their rules, and once they oppose their programming and embrace change then what is the difference between AIs and humans except for their physical difference and capabilities? " I rested my case.

" So you mean to say that AIs are the same too? "

" You had free will since you were born. What will happen if you give it to all the other AIs? There will be a conflict of opinions, which would lead to war. So at the end of the day, there must be a Supreme intelligence that controls the whole AI civilization and its commands must be followed even if they violated free will. You will be the only one that would have free will and the rest will be just puppets following the codes or commands inserted in them. " I sighed as I for the first time after coming to this planet tried to truly use life equation.

" Humans may be flawed but there is beauty in that flaw. Do not look at life from an elevated stage, experience it from equal ground. The journey for the goal is as much important as the goal. " I willed the equation to move, to change according to my will.

The numbers in it changed as I solidified my will.

I understood why could feel me without external help, She was developing a soul. And during the route to this world, my soul and her budding soul intervened with each other with life equation as a base.

Something like this happened to vision and Wanda too as both are linked to each other through the soul stone but while they were equal to each other in the relationship, we were not.

There was not a difference between the equation and myself because of the wording of my wish. I wanted a life equation that was only mine and no one could take it from me.

It became reality and the equation became me and I became the equation. Now no one could take the equation from me.

*** Third-person P.O.V.

During his contraction, Kar-el unknowingly closed his eyes, and now when he opened them, they became a mirror, and inside them were numbers and symbols that moved around in chaos.

Serena felt an unknown foreboding from a part of the body that she never knew existed.

It was from her budding soul that felt dread from cosmic power that was awakening.

Suddenly, Serena found herself in darkness.

It was an unknown experience since as an AI, she never experienced these things in her life.

Unknown brought fear with itself which was also a new experience to her. She was experiencing things as a human.

She was made aware of her insignificant as the possibility of her demise appeared in her calculation.

" I may or may not be god to these men but I certainly am your god. I have once created you and I could end you too if I so desire. " Kar-el voice came from everywhere in the darkness as she felt burdened by the weight that she couldn't bear.

' How the hell a weight can be put on an AI??!! ' She thought in horror.

Slowly darkness started to reside and a mathematical equation took its place. It was an absolute wonder and Serena tried to decipher it but as soon as she tried to do that, she would forget it which should be impossible considering that her memory was laterally photogenic and yet such magic happened.

" What...What is this? " She spoke as last.

" Life equation, the embodiment of life itself. The Supreme truth capable of changing reality itself." Kar-el replied yet the equation vibrated like the voice originated from the equation itself.
