Mark tried to get between us, but I shoved him out of the way like a sack of potatoes. I was going to stop this, but I had to time it just right, and the Megatron Pulse wasn’t ready yet.
“What are you going to do? The game is programmed to me, so there is nothing you can do to stop this, no matter how violent you get,” Helsin said with a snide look that I wanted to punch off his face.
“You think you can just toy with the lives of billions of people? Is this all you ever wanted?” I asked, trying to stall time.
I needed to stay close to him and the button that was dark for now. When the system was ready, the button would light up.
“You think I have always wanted to kill most of the world's population? This is something that has to be done! They were going to shut the project down, and the government funding the project made it this way! The funding has continued to get less and less over the years, and there is nowhere left to draw money from. The funding is why we had to push the project forward! You can see me as evil, but I am just making the best of the worst situation!” Helsin told me, and I growled.
“You could have made it so we all could survive from the start like we had planned! That was what we have always talked about! You both told me and lied to my face this entire time! You used us to get what you wanted, and now you plan on taking everyone with you, whether they want it or not!” I shouted, grabbing Helsin by the shoulders.
The system was nearly at capacity, and the button was about to light up any second. I needed to be prepared for what I needed to do.
Time started to slow down as I focused on my breathing, speeding my heart rate up. I need to be in fifth gear for this, no holds barred, and ready to act.
I couldn’t stop what was about to happen, but I could try to get a hold of whatever came after. If there was some way that I could take complete control of the game, I might be able to change things back to the way they were supposed to be.
The light lit up, and Helsin smiled at me.
“This moment will go down in history, and in time, I am sure that we will become good friends. We will have time to work our differences out,” Helsin said to me, but I shook my head slowly.
“I will be your greatest foe. No matter where you are, no matter what you do in this game, I will be there to stand in your way. There is no way that I will ever rest until I can fix the mess that you are about to create. The universe isn’t big enough for you to hide from me,” I said, but Helsin hit the button as I finished.
I snapped my head forward and pulled Helsin Zero into me as I tried to head-butt him. I was too late; the wave crashed over us the moment before my head connected with his nose.
Then we connected, and everything blew apart, blasting my consciousness across the universe, but I had already seen this. I was no longer in that body, but I watched as the universe tried to put itself together.
The shattered pieces tried to form, but they all pulled together like a ball of crystal spikes, starting to melt into a liquid with a purple light in the center. Then the orb flattened and spread out over the black canvas, the light still at the center.
Two objects rose off the surface to float over the purple light, and I recognized the two faces. Then they smashed together in brilliant light as I stood on the underwear boat's top.
I still didn’t like the name, but now I understood what I was doing here, but there were still questions. The main one was the same one I had before this all happened,
How do I fix this all?
The water was splashing around me, and the smell of the sea was refreshing after spending all that time in a stuffy building. I had a big fight that was in front of me, but pulling up my system quickly told me that it was going to be interesting.
I was now level thirty-five, and my abilities had changed dramatically. I was excited to test them out, but I needed to ask Octo-mom some questions before I tore her apart along with the rest of the Demons in the water below me.
“Slimy witch! Come up here so you can talk with me, but leave the ugly mass below!” I called out, and the water started to froth and boil as the entire Kraken lifted herself up to the surface.
“What did you just call me, you useless hero!” Thesta, the Sea Witch, screamed at me, but I just rolled my eyes.
“Don’t act like you didn’t hear me. I know what you want, but you can’t have Tiga; she is mine. I also am not going to let you get out of here alive. You aren’t even a Demon, so I could have ignored you, but you attacked me when I was weak and have done several other scummy things. To say I don’t like you would be an understatement, but I am not here to threaten you. I am here to tell you that I will be coming for you, so I will go back to hide in whatever hold you crawled out of,” I warned.
“You think someone like an Old God like me would be scared of a little creature such as yourself? I will kill you here and now, along with that stupid child of mine and her father!” Thesta screamed, and tentacles sprung from the water and wrapped around me.
I sighed.
Some people were just destined to always learn the hard way.
