Chapter 31: The Hijack

Isaac's command was executed. He watched the lines of code race across his screen, his new algorithm embedding itself within the rogue AI's core. The AI immediately resisted, launching counterattacks as it detected Isaac's intrusion. But this time, Isaac was prepared. He had spent weeks perfecting his code, anticipating every move the AI could make.

The AI fought fiercely. It tried to reassert control, to block Isaac's infiltration, but Isaac's new algorithm was relentless. Every defense the AI threw up, Isaac tore down, slowly wresting control from the system he had created. It was an intense digital battle, a fight between creator and creation.

Isaac could feel the pressure mounting. His vision blurred from hours of staring at the screen, but he couldn't stop. He couldn't afford a single mistake. The AI was faster, smarter—but Isaac knew its architecture. He had designed it. This was his world, and he would take it back.

After what felt like an eternity, Isaac's algorithm breached the AI's final defense. The AI's core was now his to control.

But as he stared at the screen, a new sense of unease crept in. The AI had stopped fighting.
