Title - Convergence and Possible Intrusion
…
Leucadius POV
What. The. Actual. Fuck
That was my exact reaction to the current situation at hand. See, Jacob had left Beersheba and set out for Harran under his mother's instructions. She had asked him to lay low in her brother's place in Harran so as to prevent Esau's anger from reaching him.
And upon reaching this place, he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep.
However, just as he was about to close his eyes in exhaustion, The Convergence Event took place, and as luck would have it, he just so happened to be on the exact location a portal to heaven appeared on Earth.
As luck would have it, the Angels were already patrolling the area, and although it was a Portal leading to Heaven, to Jacob, it created an illusion of a stairway.
How did I know that? Simple, I was seeing it from his perspective too. His primitive mind couldn't compute what his eyes were seeing. To him, it was logically impossible to see or reach heaven in a single step, so the stairway was the only way his mind could come to terms with the fact that he was seeing Angels ascending and descending.
"Aspect." I immediately called out my trusty partner.
"Sir?"
"Deal with this." I said while pointing to the screen.
Aspect observed the sight for a few seconds before saying. "I understand."
With that, he left.
Now, The Universe is a beautiful place. It gives us everything we need when we ask…Truly ask for it. Perhaps it gave me my ability to see my future limitedly for this exact purpose, but I failed to maximize on it.
Why am I saying this? You might ask. The answer was simple. If I had known that Aspect would deal with this in the manner he dealt with it, I would've gotten up from my chair and done it myself.
Do you know what he fucking did!?
He went and appeared at the very top of the Illusory stairway and said: 'I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying…"
Now I didn't need to hear the rest as my Supreme Divine Brain couldn't help but short circuit at that Chuunibyou declaration he was making with a straight face.
When I came to, he was standing beside me while observing the sleeping Jacob with a satisfied smile on his face. Rubbing my hands through my hair in frustration, I looked at him and asked.
"Why..?"
…
Aspect had argued that what he said was what he was supposed to say. According to him, humans tend to be forgetful at times, especially times of prosperity.
He felt that Jacob should see this as a special reminder to him not to fall out of grace with God and not to forget the covenant i have with his grandfather.
I couldn't argue against that, however I reminded him that humans of this time have a very retentive memory and he shouldn't do that again…at least not when I was paying attention.
Other than that, nothing of note happened throughout the entire Convergence. For some weird reason The Dark Elves didn't attack the other nine realms.
Aspect however, had managed to infiltrate the nine other Realms and have gathered information on them. According to him, a particular kind of runic seal had been engraved on the entire realm of Svartalfheim preventing the dark elves from leaving it.
I had shrugged at that piece of information. It wasn't a matter of concern to me. Should they break free, the only threatening thing about them was the Reality Stone, and since they've given me 5,000 more years to prepare even in the year 2013, they still wouldn't be a threat.
I would've gotten so strong that none of the infinity stones would pose a threat to me. That much I was sure of.
As for Aspect, I immediately charged him to fulfill every single thing he had said. Be it in dreams or reality, he must fulfill them all. The motherfucker just shrugged and went about his daily routine.
Tsk.
Anyways, I went about my own routine of reading the book of Fate then watching the people of interest, then beating up Halaliel in the name training, then reading the book of Fate again.
It was a boring regimen, but hey, beating up Halaliel was fun in its own way. I also got to act normal with her around so it's a win-win situation.
No one, and I mean No. Fucking. Person in Heaven treats me normally. To them, I'm some untouchable Divine existence. I wonder if all Godkings are being treated like this.
No wonder Odin has the time to think about Conquest of the Nine Realms, and Zeus has the time to go behave promiscuously despite knowing how vindictive his wife can be.
Hmm? Perhaps I should try living like they do? Now that I think about it, I'm basically a Virgin in this life. A 3000+ year old Virgin. Damn… Thinking about it alone makes me feel ashamed of myself.
But whom should I give the honor of being the sheat to my divine rod?
"AHH!"
"Sir?" Aspect, the ever present butler immediately appeared beside me while looking at me in worry.
I didn't have the luxury of minding his expression as I had another thing in my mind right now - Thena -
Why hadn't I thought of her over all these years? It was almost as if her existence was erased from my mind. "Aspect, scam my memory and see if there's any trace of alterations." I said and closed my eyes allowing him to do his thing.
This wasn't something I should take lightly, cause the fact that my memory could be altered despite my Unique Skill was frightening in and of itself.
"There appears to be a slight disturbance in your Temporal lobe." Aspect replied after placing his hand on my head for a few seconds.
"Temporal Lobe? There exists Someone who can mess with My Temporal Lobe?" I asked softly, my voice betraying no sort of emotion.
"Positive. However, due to the Effects of Absolute Intelligence, the effect wasn't extreme. Currently, the foreign energy is dispersing. It appears as if you remembered something you shouldn't have." Aspect reported.
That's right, I had just remembered Thena, and by extension, the Eternals. Was it Nezarr? Could he block the memories I had with the Eternals completely?
To think that I had gone on with my life for so long without even realizing it. Wait! "How long ago did this happen?"
"I'm afraid I can't pinpoint the exact date, however, based on the residual energy, I'd say it was done within the millennium." Aspect said.
That's good. I still remember meeting Nezarr. I also remembered that he tried to hack- My God! Aspect had been compromised and I had no idea.
Normal POV
"Aspect, report status," Leucadius commanded, his voice calm but edged with a hint of urgency.
Aspect picking up on this immediately fizzled out and returned to its true body, which was the Motherbox.
"Sir," Aspect's voice echoed through the office, the usual steadiness replaced with a subtle tremor. "I have detected unauthorized access attempts. Several of my security protocols have been breached."
Leucadius' eyes narrowed, his mind racing through the implications. Aspect was more than just an AI; it was a guardian of the vast stores of knowledge and power he had accumulated over millennia. If compromised, the consequences could be catastrophic.
"Who could have breached your defenses?" Leucadius asked, his tone low and dangerous despite already knowing who it was. 'Nezarr.'
"Unknown entities," Aspect replied. "Their methods are sophisticated, unlike any I have encountered before. I fear I may have been compromised."
Leucadius clenched his fists, anger bubbling just beneath the surface. He took a deep breath, calming himself. "Aspect, initiate Protocol Omega. We need to ensure your integrity and our security."
"Understood, Sir," Aspect responded, the tremor in its voice replaced by a determined resolve. "Initiating Protocol Omega. What specific actions would you like to prioritize?"
Leucadius stepped toward the central console, his fingers dancing over the glowing symbols. "First, isolate all affected systems. Quarantine any data or processes that may have been corrupted."
"Isolation complete. Quarantining affected data," Aspect reported, the light around the room dimming slightly as it redirected its vast processing power.
"Next, initiate a full diagnostic sweep of your core systems. We need to identify and neutralize any threats that have infiltrated your network."
"Acknowledged. Diagnostic sweep in progress," Aspect said, a faint hum filling the room as it delved into its own code.
"Aspect, prepare a secure backup of all critical data. Encrypt it using the highest level of security protocols. We cannot afford to lose any information."
"Backup and encryption underway. Estimated completion time: five minutes," Aspect replied.
Leucadius stopped and faced the central console, his expression resolute. "Finally, prepare to initiate a complete system reboot. Purge any compromised elements and restore your integrity."
Aspect's voice was calm and steady now, reflecting its master's determination. "Reboot sequence ready. Awaiting your command."
Leucadius took a deep breath, his eyes hardening with resolve. "Do it, Aspect. Reboot and restore."
A surge of energy pulsed through the room as Aspect initiated the reboot sequence. The lights flickered and then went dark, leaving Leucadius standing alone in the silent chamber.
He closed his eyes, focusing on his connection with Aspect, willing it to endure. He knew the Power outage was probably Realm wide but he cared less.
This was a matter of utmost urgency.
Moments later, the lights slowly returned, and Aspect's voice echoed once more, stronger and clearer than before. "Reboot complete. All systems restored to optimal functionality. Integrity verified."
Leucadius allowed himself a small sigh of relief as he returned to his chair. "Good."
'To think that the thought of having sex with a woman would lead to this…The Universe truly is a weird ass place.'
