Chapter 1: Prologue
2090
Vanessa, our transport will arrive in two minutes we have to go now!
An old woman wearing a white scientist's coat with her gray hair tied into a high bun said impatiently as she adjusted her glasses.
You know Frankenstein although I was preparing for this day until now I still believed we could resolve our disagreements peacefully and strive for a better tomorrow as a united race under a common goal but it seems like you were right after all the desire to destroy and kill is engraved in our DNR.
Vanessa a middle-aged woman with an hourglass figure wearing fancy business clothes said with a bitter smile as she turned around and started walking to her company's skyscrapers rooftop after watching one after another ICBMs with nuclear warheads detonate.
What's the status of our human consciousness digitalization project?
Vanessa asked while running up her staircase with Frankenstein following behind her.
It's done we can now store our consciousness in a microchip.
Frankenstein answered while breathing heavily as she tried to keep up with Vanessa's pace.
Hahaha, Frankenstein you never fail to amaze me! You really did it! We no longer have to fear death!
Vanessa exclaimed joyfully as she spread out her arms only for a sci-fi-looking transport aircraft to land on the rooftop's landing site.
Mam hurry up we don't have much time left!
The aircraft's master chief wearing his exoskeleton armor called out through his fully-enclosed helmets loudspeakers while gesturing with his exoskeleton armor glowed hands after the aircraft's ramp slid down.
Without waisting time the two women ran inside the aircraft, sat down on their crash seats, and buckled their x-form safety belts.
Go!Go!Go! Take us out from here!
The master chief screamed into his aircraft's cc (communications channel) as he pressed the ramps control button causing the ramp to start closing while he sat down in his seat.
You don't have to tell me twice!
The pilot roared back as he increased his aircraft's chemical thrusters output to the max.
Frankenstein, what's the Einherjars status are they ready to be deployed?
Vanessa asked out of the blue trying to take her mind off the aircraft's heavy shaking as she gripped her safety belts with her hands as strongly as she could to the point that her knuckles turned white.
All 10000 of them have completed their augmentations and are ready to be deployed upon your order.
And what about subject zero? I heard he has been causing trouble lately.
Arghhh! Don't even mention him! No matter how many times I wipe his memory he keeps remembering! I tried everything I could but I still can't figure out how he keeps remembering!
Frankenstein almost lost her marbles upon thinking about subject zero.
Hahaha! The only times I see you like that is when you start talking about him. Anyways when he gets deployed will he operate as he was made to or not?
He will even though he keeps remembering his still a soldier down to his core. No matter what kind of orders it is he will execute them without batting an eye I guarantee it.
Good, I look forward to his performance.
"If humanity can't unite itself through peaceful means then I'll make them do it by force"
Vanessa thought in her mind as she closed her eyes.

Abyss
Inside a floating destroyed palace on a throne made out of marble sat an old man wrapped in white cloth as he played around with a bolt of contained lightning in his right arm.
Even after they forsake us you still give them a second chance?
A voice straight from nightmares whispered into the man's left ear.
Of course, I did after all we also forsake our creators didn't we brother?
The man answered with a neutral tone as he turned his head only to see a pitch-black humanoid figure materialize behind his throne.
Upon hearing this the figure stayed silent for some time before it spoke again.
I guess your right about that thou do you really think humanity can break the cycle?
I do after all they have your son on their side, don't they?
The man said while smiling with an I know what you did smile.
You! Hahaha! I see so it was your doing wasn't it brother?! But tell me how did you find out about him? I made sure to hide him from your eyes.
The figure first roared out with anger then started laughing sinisterly and as it did the room's temperature dropped to absolute zero making everything get covered in ice even the fire in the iron brazers froze into a solid state even the man himself got covered in a thin layer of frost.
Phew! Do you think I wouldn't know that it's your offspring with all that death mana emanating from him? And by the way, your stench is still unpleasant as always in fact it got even worse but considering that 11 billion humans just died I'm not surprised.
The man spitted onto his temple's stone floor while rubbing his itchy nose with his left hand.
Besides shouldn't you be happy if everything goes as planned you'll be able to meet your son in person I bet your wife must be dying to meet him since she couldn't have children before she ascended or does she not know of his existence? If she doesn't then don't worry I'm a pro at these things all you have to do is ask your little bro for help.
The man said while pointing at himself with his left thumb.
You know I really want to kill you...
The figure said with a depressed voice as it dematerialized.
Oh well, suit yourself.
The man said to himself as he shrugged his shoulders, leaned back into his throne, and closed his eyes.
